Chapter 17
[Resurrection Ring: Spark Artifact]
[Level: LV1]
[Quality: Purple Earth Grade]
[Attribute: Spirit Growth +1]
[Skill: Resurrection—Consumes HuoZhong Source Power to resurrect life forms below Extraordinary Level LV10. Resurrection requires partial remains of the target as a medium. The resurrected life form survives due to the Resurrection Ring, which can grant life and also take life.]
[Enhancement Requirement: 100 Units of HuoZhong Source Power]
[Evaluation: Death is not the end.]
"Purple Earth Grade, it truly is a Spark Artifact..."
Li Mu, both surprised and delighted, put the Resurrection Stone ring on his finger.
Unlike Whiteboard Equipment, which has four grades—Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow—colored equipment, from Red to Purple, starts at Earth Grade quality. Although Purple Earth Grade is the lowest quality, it's far superior to Whiteboard. Even without the resurrection skill, the mere +1 to Spirit Growth is immeasurable.
Before Extraordinary Level LV10, each level-up grants one Free Attribute Point.
Now, with this additional growth point, his mental power will gain an extra Free Attribute Point for every Extraordinary Level.
This is just the LV1 Resurrection Ring. If its enhancement level increases, the Spirit Growth bonus will undoubtedly increase as well, leading to a truly terrifying final Spirit attribute. It's no wonder that professionals with Spark Artifacts in the Spark World are worlds apart from ordinary HuoZhong Professionals.
With the Resurrection Ring, controlling Snape would be as easy as pie for him.
Li Mu changed his identity and returned to the Diagon Alley pharmacy.
"Can you contact Master Snape for me?"
Li Mu asked directly.
"Of course, he often buys medicinal ingredients from me."
The pharmacy owner replied affirmatively.
"I want to ask him to refine a special potion. This is for the introduction fee."
Li Mu said, placing ten Gold Galleons on the counter.
"I can't guarantee he'll agree."
The pharmacy owner stated upfront.
"You can tell him the potion is to save Lily."
Li Mu said confidently.
"How do I contact you?"
The pharmacy owner nodded and asked one last question.
"Room 102, Brown Hotel."
Li Mu left the address and returned to the hotel, waiting for the prey to come to him.
He waited for two days, and clearly, the pharmacy owner hadn't contacted Snape immediately.
Li Mu didn't waste these two days either. He was either practicing HuoZhong Meditation or analyzing the medicinal components of various Magic Plants, categorizing and summarizing them using future medical methods rather than potion-making botany.
With this ready data, replacing the components of extinct Magic Plants or even synthesizing them artificially would be much simpler.
By the afternoon of the third day, Li Mu finally waited for Snape to come looking for trouble.
The hotel room door opened silently, and Snape, holding his wand with a grim expression, walked in cautiously.
On the living room sofa, a young man was sitting with his eyes closed.
The moment Snape opened the door, the Shipborne Optical Computer had already sent a notification.
Li Mu's mental consciousness withdrew from the Phoenix, and he opened his eyes, calmly looking at Snape.
"The Resurrection Stone is in my hands."
Li Mu said with a smile.
"..."
Snape was slightly stunned and looked at Li Mu with disappointment.
If it were any other method to revive the dead, he might have tried it first, but he had investigated the Resurrection Stone many years ago. Therefore, he knew that Lily, revived by the Resurrection Stone, would only make both of them suffer more than death.
"The legend of the Resurrection Stone that you know is not true."
Li Mu said, reaching out and pressing down on the coffee table.
The Werewolf Wizard's corpse, stored in the supply bay, appeared on the coffee table.
"I can revive him in front of you. You can check if this Werewolf is alive or dead."
Li Mu pointed at the Werewolf Wizard and said confidently.
Searing Blade!
Snape flicked his wand, and the Werewolf Wizard's neck seemed to be cut by an invisible sword, falling to the ground.
Even though it was a feigned death, this blow killed him completely.
Li Mu extended his right hand, which wore the Resurrection Ring, and injected HuoZhong Source Power into the ring to activate its active skill, Resurrection. Red flames instantly enveloped the werewolf wizard's corpse, and the visibly headless werewolf wizard was resurrected in the flames.
Upon being resurrected, the werewolf wizard's first reaction was to kill Li Mu.
However, before he could make a move, he already felt his life force draining away.
The fear of death made him disregard attacking Li Mu. The draining life force immediately stopped. After it stopped, his killing intent reignited, and his life force began to drain again. After this happened twice, the werewolf wizard, recalling that he had already died, finally realized that he had been resurrected.
Furthermore, his life was in the hands of this Human wizard.
Snape watched the werewolf wizard revive, his heart filled with excitement, but his expression remained impassive.
He had secretly used the silent spellcasting technique, preparing to cast Stupefy on this Mysterious Person.
"There's no need for the trouble of silent spellcasting."
Li Mu took off the Resurrection Ring and tossed it to Snape.
Seeing the ring flying towards him, Snape's first reaction was that the ring was imbued with a dark curse.
Wingardium Leviosa!
Snape instantly cast the Levitation Charm, making the ring hover in the air.
Simultaneously, he cast the Iron Skin Charm on himself, tucked his left hand into his pocket, and put on a Dragonhide Glove that could ward off dark curses. The moment he grabbed the ring, he cast Apparition and fled with the ring.
Li Mu smiled, picked up the red wine, and slowly savored it.
What good was a Spark Artifact without Spark Energy? Especially one that had already fused with the Origin HuoZhong.
When Snape was helpless with the Resurrection Ring, he would eventually have to return it obediently.
As expected, Li Mu's confidence was not misplaced. Snape returned to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the Resurrection Ring, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't activate even a sliver of the ring's power. He even consulted all the professors at Hogwarts with the ring, but no one could offer any help.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the flames that emerged from this ring resurrecting a werewolf wizard.
If he hadn't investigated multiple times and confirmed that the ring contained a powerful, unknown mystical force.
Snape would have thought he was holding a fake. He finally understood why the Mysterious Person had confidently handed the ring to him; it was because the Mysterious Person was certain he couldn't use it. To resurrect Lily, he could only seek help from that Mysterious Person.
When Snape arrived at the Brown Hotel again, he saw the Mysterious Person sitting on the sofa.
Li Mu didn't want to, but he could only enter the Phoenix using his spiritual consciousness.
It was daytime, and he couldn't lie in bed all day.
"Can I have the Resurrection Ring back now?"
Li Mu opened his eyes and extended his hand.
Snape controlled the Resurrection Ring to float towards Li Mu. Li Mu snapped his fingers as the ring floated over.
Suddenly, all the hair on Snape's body began to grow wildly. At the same time, a Sleeping Charm struck Snape from behind. Snape, whose attention was entirely focused on Li Mu, never expected someone behind him. He was immediately knocked unconscious by the Sleeping Charm.
