Magic Blood Potion

The two-week Easter holiday is coming to an end quickly, and the library and common rooms are filled with young wizards suffering from procrastination, rushing to finish their assignments.

Over the past two weeks, Skylar and Sarf have mastered the six Parseltongue spells left behind by Slytherin.

Skylar's demeanor is quite different from before.

In the past, Skylar was like a cultured, humble, and elegant young nobleman. Although his reputation and strength inspired awe and admiration, this never diminished his approachable nature. I remember at the Yule Ball a few months ago, how many girls mustered up the courage to ask him to be their dance partner? He never spoke harshly to them or showed the slightest impatience. Instead, he gently and softly declined them all.

At this moment, Skylar has studied the Parseltongue magic, which leans towards the dark and sinister, and has also touched upon the highest level of power in this wizarding world—spatial magic. These two types of magic have not only influenced his personality but have also been reflected in his outward demeanor.

The aura he exuded subtly resembled the charismatic halo he had acquired long ago on his Supreme Robe, enhancing his personal charm, yet it was not quite the same. Even his closest female companions could not accurately describe the changes in him.

If I had to put it in a way, he's become even more "wicked" than before.

His charisma inexplicably made everyone around him feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, filled with joy, and unconsciously drew people to him, making them yearn to get closer to him, to understand him more deeply. If that weren't enough, every word he spoke seemed to possess a kind of magic, making people feel that it made perfect sense, and making them unable to help but obey. If they had even the slightest disagreement, they would feel inexplicably guilty, as if they had committed a heinous crime, while once they obeyed Skylar's words, they would feel inexplicably happy.

To paraphrase Daphne, just as a natural Legilimens treats "Legilimency" as an automatic passive skill, Skylar treats "Imperius Curse" as a permanent passive skill.

Before encountering "Moon Shifts, Stars Move," Skylar would undoubtedly be extremely troubled. This aura would certainly bring him immense trouble. Not to mention Dumbledore, even Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick would likely notice something amiss. No matter how much they liked Skylar, they couldn't allow him to roam freely among people. This almost cult-like brainwashing ability had appeared in Grindelwald 70 years ago, and no one could easily forget how much trouble his talent for easily "Heart-Stirring" had caused the global wizarding world.

However, Skylar no longer took it seriously at this point.

It was a strange feeling that was hard to describe.

On the day Skylar comprehended the "Moon Shifts, Stars Move," at the moment he closed his eyes, he felt a call from the depths of the universe.

It was as if the power of fate had been forcibly imposed upon him.

The mysterious forces of fate seemed to have split in two, causing an anomaly in the trajectory of destiny—fate was no longer a predetermined one-way street, but depended on future changes. All Prophecy that had appeared in the wizarding world in the past would be nullified, and time magic that could glimpse the future would also completely fail...

Finally, I have taken control of my own destiny.

Even the wisdom of Dumbledore and the power of Voldemort could not defy the turning of the wheel of fate. As those who were not "chosen ones," they could only sadly and blindly believe in the vague so-called Prophecy, yet they could never escape the manipulation of fate. In this respect, Skylar had already surpassed them.

It's time to move the Sleeping Dragon Society into its second phase.

In the Chamber of Secrets.

In a golden cauldron, a large pot of pale yellow Potions was being simmered.

The cauldron is Hufflepuff's magical cauldron, which can increase the time and success rate of Potions brewing.

The Potions is a modified version of the Magic-Boosting Potion by Skylar. The original Magic-Boosting Potion recipe wasn't too difficult to make, but it required the venom of Basilisk. As far as Skylar knew, Basilisk had long been extinct, and the one in Chamber of Secrets was the last Basilisk in the world. Raising another Basilisk until it reached adulthood would be an extremely laborious and time-consuming task.

Putting aside whether it was worth it or not, Skylar simply didn't have the time to do it.

So, Skylar had no choice but to start thinking about improving the Potions formula.

Last July, during summer vacation, when Skylar had just captured the giant snake, then called Nagini, from Voldemort, he had already noticed Nagini's unusual nature. Nagini, transformed from a human into a snake due to Blood Curse, did not belong to any known magical snake species. At least, Skylar had never heard of a venomous python; in fact, there was absolutely no evidence of venom glands in any large snakes like pythons. Even the long-extinct Titanoboa was considered non-venomous.

Nagini's venom can cause wounds that cannot be stitched up, yet it became one of the main ingredients in Voldemort's "Rudimentary Body Potion," demonstrating just how peculiar Nagini's properties were.

Skylar conducted numerous dark and cruel experiments on Nagini. He discovered that Nagini's blood was another treasure, no less potent than its venom.

In his second year, Skylar discovered a bloodline research notebook handwritten by Merlin in the Restricted Section at Hogwarts. The notebook detailed a study on how to implant the bloodline of magical creatures into wizards to increase their magical abilities. However, Merlin was forced to abandon the project due to its forbidden nature. Although the research was incomplete, the notebook still contained many significant discoveries, such as the conditions that magical creatures implanted in wizards must meet and the specific magical properties they must exhibit.

Nagini's blood undoubtedly met all the conditions for the bloodline of the magical creature that Merlin envisioned.

While Nagini are arguably rarer than Basilisk in some respects, Basilisk far surpass Nagini in both the potency of their venom and the dark curses they carry. Therefore, it can be inferred that using Nagini blood instead of Basilisk Venom would significantly diminish the effectiveness of this Magic-Boosting Potion.

However, this did not prevent Skylar from exploring new paths elsewhere.

A wizard's potential is determined by their bloodline. Whether it's the venom of Basilisk or the blood of Nagini, their role in Magic-Boosting Potion is to stimulate the hidden power within a wizard's bloodline.

Aside from bloodline, a wizard's magic is actually determined by their soul, spirit, and body.

The general consensus among wizards is that a wizard's magical power is determined at birth, with a minimum level that gradually increases with age. However, through his own experiences over the past few years, Skylar has discovered that a wizard's magical power does not increase at a fixed rate. Instead, it follows a principle similar to the Muggle World concept of "use it or lose it." A powerful wizard, due to their higher need for magical power, often finds that this need stimulating an increase in magical power.

Unless one possesses a rare and extraordinary destiny like the "Essence of Wisdom," the soul and spiritual power can only be improved through continuous self-training, which we won't discuss here. However, when it comes to improving physical attributes, wizards have countless methods at their disposal— Strengthening Solution, agility, and body-strengthening potions...

Of course, no matter what kind of physical enhancement drug it is, its effect can never surpass one thing—

Skylar's blood.

Since acquiring the Hufflepuff's "Source of Life," Skylar's blood has been brimming with intense vitality, a rare and powerful energy highly conducive to the evolution of the species. Not to mention, Skylar's blood also contains an extremely concentrated bloodline power—

At the age of four, Skylar had already awakened the "Magic Eye," a talent inherent to the House of Malfoy within his bloodline. After his magic was activated, Skylar also awakened the "Metamorphmagus," a talent inherent to the House of Black within his bloodline. After inheriting the Slytherin, he further purified his bloodline through the "Bloodline Boiling" ritual, allowing his bloodline to revert to its ancestral form and become closer to the most primal "Chaos Power" of wizards.

In addition, there was a "Pure Blood" of unknown purpose on his heart, constantly nourishing his flesh and blood. At this moment, he himself was not sure what kind of power his blood contained, but he was certain that his flesh and blood could definitely be called one of the most outstanding treasures among the many natural treasures in this world.

"It's time," Skylar said softly, watching the liquid in the crucible slowly change from pale yellow to pale green.

Sarf walked to the cauldron, her cold face expressionless. She raised her wand and lightly drew blood across her other pale wrist, causing a large amount of blood to gush out and flow into the cauldron.

Seeing that Sarf had bled enough, Skylar said softly, "My turn." Then he did the same, putting his own blood into the liquid in the crucible.

The liquid in the crucible seemed to come alive suddenly, churning and tumbling within it. Sometimes it resembled a giant liquid serpent soaring into the air, sometimes a raging liquid Fire Dragon roaring, and sometimes it even transformed into a grotesque and terrifying human face, emitting a low groan towards the sky. But no matter how much the liquid churned and struggled, it could not escape the crucible's confinement. This Hufflepuff's Cauldron, seemed to possess some mysterious power, firmly binding its contents.

Suddenly, the crucible vibrated violently, as if it were about to explode, unable to withstand the power contained in the Potions inside.

"Do it!" Skylar shouted.

Daphne, Morrie, Astoria, Luna, Susan, and Cho Chang stood in six different positions, simultaneously pointing their wands at the cauldron and chanting, "Fianto Duri!" Six streams of magical light shot onto the cauldron at the same time, and the alchemical runes engraved on the exposed surface of the cauldron lit up one by one. At the same time, a sacred and solemn aura emanated from the cauldron, and the Potions inside the cauldron stopped its violent outburst and slowly calmed down.

The Potions turned a deep green, and a strange, pleasant fragrance wafted out, filling the entire secret Chamber of Secrets.

Skylar sniffed it carefully, dipped a finger in it, and tasted it on his tongue to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the Potions. Since he had improved the Magic-Boosting Potion, it was probably inappropriate to continue calling it Magic-Boosting Potion; Skylar gave it a new name—

"Magic Blood Potion"

Daphne volunteered to distribute the Potions. Having witnessed Skylar and Sarf add their own blood to the Potions, she knew how precious they were. She carefully used her wand to manipulate the Potions, making Potions float and flow into each bottle without spilling a single drop.

There are nine bottles of Potions in total.

Sarf and Skylar don't need the Magic-Boosting Potion. With their current strength, the Magic-Boosting Potion would provide them with negligible benefits. Furthermore, since the Potions made using their blood, their bodies would definitely have considerable resistance to it.

Skylar put away the three extra bottles of Potions, and then had each of the six girls drink one.
