Taiji Yin-Yang

It has been a long time since that impressive Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Hermione's mood remained low after that day.

This also greatly hindered her learning the Patronus Charm.

Furthermore, Hermione refused to tell Bell what the fake "Bell" had said that day.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get an answer, Bell had no choice but to give up on continuing the pursuit.

He tried many things to cheer Hermione up, but unfortunately, they weren't very effective.

Later, thanks to Shanna, who came up with the ingenious method of fighting poison with poison ( from Bell's perspective), Hermione was able to shake off her dejected mood and regain her fighting spirit.

It's worth mentioning that Hermione has now successfully cast the White Mist. With continued practice, she should be able to fully master the Patronus Charm in no time.

"Young Master, the two Boggart you asked me to prepare are ready for you."

Having previously confirmed that Boggart could empower themselves by absorbing fear, Bell had taken a liking to this mysterious Dark Magic Creatures.

In Bell's view, perhaps studying the characteristics of the Boggart could help him improve his Patronus.

After all, many of the wizards' Curses were developed by drawing on the characteristics of Magical Creatures.

"I understand. Put them in your suitcase first, I'll check on them again tonight."

After giving a casual instruction, Bell continued reading the book in his hands.

At this moment, he was sitting alone on the grass outside Hogwarts Castle, a rare sight for him.

Hermione went to practice the Patronus Charm with Shanna. After so many days of interaction, the two had become much more familiar with each other, which pleased Bell greatly.

The weather is lovely today. The sun is shining brightly, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the faint sounds of laughter drifting from afar make it all very pleasant.

Bell is currently reading a book called "Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram" from the China Taoist, one of many books he had previously bought from China.

Books like this are almost impossible to find in the British Wizarding World, which is extremely averse to Dark Magic.

Therefore, when Bell first saw the book, he was deeply attracted by its theories.

As it turns out, Bell' earlier decision to travel to China and Japan was very wise.

For example, these books are now providing Bell with tremendous help.

After such a long period of observation and research, Bell has basically figured out why his Patronus mutated.

As we all know, the core of the Patronus Charm is the intention of "protection" and the emotion of "happiness".

However, when Bell cast the Patronus Charm earlier, his heart was filled with intense 'killing intent' and 'anger'.

Thanks to his continuous research into the Occlumency, even when Bell wished he could grind the Dementor to dust, he was still able to successfully generate the two emotions necessary for the Patronus Charm, 'Guardian' and 'Joy,' in his mind.

Ultimately, these four emotions unexpectedly reached a delicate balance, and with the added force of anger, Bell unleashed a massive amount of magic, successfully causing the Patronus to mutate.

This perfectly aligns with the Tai Chi Yin-Yang theory of Cultivator.

Among them, "Guardian" is the Yang Eye, "Killing Intent" is the Yin Eye, "Joy" is the Yang Form, and "Anger" is the Yin Form.

It can be said that the birth of Qiongqi was full of surprises.

Bell has always been unable to summon his Patronus because his emotions of happiness are not strong enough.

Anger, however, filled that void.

If Bell had successfully mastered the Patronus Charm from the beginning, then perhaps Qiongqi would never have been born.

Once the principle is understood, it will only be a matter of time before this mutated Patronus Charm is reproduced.

However, Bell was not satisfied with this.

To simultaneously generate four opposing emotions and precisely control their proportions is incredibly difficult and time-consuming!

Furthermore, it can easily lead to schizophrenia.

For modern wizards, Curses that takes 10 seconds to cast is of no value.

Of course, with a significant amount of time and dedicated training, it should be possible to achieve instantaneous firing.

But Bell would never do that.

In that time, practicing a simpler Curses would yield far greater benefits than training a mutated Patronus Charm.

Just as Bell was regretfully considering whether he should give up on his Qiongqi, the memories he had previously obtained from a kind-hearted Onmyoji provided him with a completely new perspective.

Because of its internal balance, the Qiongqi's structure is very stable. When not engaged in combat, its magical energy dissipates very slowly.

If that's the case, then why not treat Qiongqi as an independent entity and sign Shikigami contract with it?

Bell is now very familiar with the knowledge about Shikigami, especially Artificial Shikigami.

When creating Mad Bear and Ten Thousand Snakes, he applied the concept of Artificial Shikigami to improve their controllability.

Once his mind was opened up, Bell felt more and more that it was feasible.

Unlike ordinary Shikigami or Artificial Shikigami, Qiongqi is composed entirely of Bell's emotions and magic, so its compatibility with Bell can be said to be 100%.

Furthermore, after signing the Shikigami contract and residing Qiongqi within his body, because Bell and Qiongqi share the same magical origin, a magical cycle can be formed between Bell. Bell doesn't need to expend any additional magical power to maintain Qiongqi 'Qiongqi existence.

In certain special circumstances, Bell can even receive nourishment from Qiongqi, which enhances his magic.

For example, after Qiongqi devoured the Dementor, Bell noticed that Qiongqi's body had become more solid.

Although the impact is minimal, it's better than nothing.

Of course, compared to other normal Shikigami, Qiongqi is not without its flaws.

For example, Bell cannot cast Curses through Qiongqi like other Onmyoji.

Strictly speaking, Qiongqi is not a naturally growing, independent entity. Therefore, if Bell were to inject unrelated thoughts into Qiongqi's body, it could disrupt the balance within Qiongqi, causing it to dissipate directly.

All of the above are reasonable inferences made by Bell based on his own knowledge.

Although it hasn't been proven in practice, based on Bell's many years of experience studying magic, it's highly likely to be true.

Therefore, what Bell needs to do now is to refine the details, further improve the theory, and refine the operation.

With that thought in mind, Bell took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and focused intently on the "Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram" in his hands once again.
