“I talked to Hagrid a few days ago and heard from him that the professor has a magic book containing the Ass Communication Technique. I wonder if I could borrow it? I’m a little curious about the Ass Communication Technique.”

Dumbledore's expression changed slightly; he was somewhat surprised by Yi Shuihan's words and fell silent.

"It seems this spellbook is very important to Dumbledore!"

Come to think of it, even the legendary magic of As Communication is only one part of the spellbook, so the value of the entire spellbook must be even more terrifying.

Such a valuable item was given to Yi Shuihan just because he wanted to see it. If it were Dumbledore himself, he probably wouldn't have given it to him so easily.

"Of course, I'm just looking. I don't even have magic right now, so naturally I can't learn it."

Yi Shuihan casually reminded him that the magic books in this world are not ordinary paper; some even have their own thoughts and require certain conditions. Without magic power, or with weak magic power, many magic books are unwilling to open for you.

Chapter 523, Incomprehensible Magic

“If it’s just the As communication technique, I can give you the training method.”

Dumbledore ultimately didn't fall for it, or rather, his trust in Yi Shuihan wasn't that deep.

Slightly disappointed, Yi Shuihan didn't continue to ask for the magic book. After all, he wasn't in the right. Why should someone give you what you want? That's impossible.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Professor."

Yi Shuihan thanked Dumbledore.

Dumbledore told Yi Shuihan to wait there while he went to get his things, and the office became much emptier again.

Aside from teasing the cat, the bored Yi Shuihan could only watch Fox.

Suddenly, a bright idea flashed through Yi Shuihan's mind. On a whim, he took out the egg containing the bloodline of the phoenix that could not be hatched for the time being.

As soon as the egg appeared, Fox, which had been quiet, suddenly became agitated, its eyes sharply fixed on the direction of the egg, and it chirped cautiously. From its chirping, Yi Shuihan could detect a hint of apprehension.

"Interesting. It seems the little guy in this egg truly has extraordinary bloodlines!"

With a glint in his eyes, Yi Shuihan put the egg away again. Without a target, Fox naturally returned to his previous calm, only occasionally glancing at Yi Shuihan with a questioning look.

Dumbledore didn't keep Yi Shuihan waiting long. Upon returning, he immediately handed Yi Shuihan a small box, explaining that the item was inside.

Upon returning to his room, Yi Shuihan first checked whether anyone had visited while he was away. Finding that the array he had set up had not been triggered, he then drank the remaining four bottles of magic potion.

Unlike in the principal's office, this time Yi Shuihan drank four bottles in a row and only took 10 minutes to fully digest the effects.

Clearly, Yi Shuihan had been holding back. As for his claim of being able to drink 10 bottles a day, that was just a casual remark. If he wanted to, drinking 40 bottles a day wouldn't be a problem.

Opening the box Dumbledore gave me, I found a very new piece of parchment. The ink on it hadn't completely dried yet, indicating that Dumbledore had just written on it.

"Good handwriting, almost half as good as mine." After praising himself indirectly, Yi Shuihan focused his attention and watched Kias's communication technique.

After looking at it for a while, Yi Shuihan frowned. He found that he couldn't understand it at all. There were many words in it that Yi Shuihan had never seen before. He could recognize them with his language skills, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

"Hoo," Yi Shuihan exhaled deeply, pressing his temples. "Was I too eager for quick success?"

Looking back on his actions over this period, Yi Shuihan realized that he had indeed been somewhat impatient. Although his strength had long surpassed that of this world, he was still a complete novice when it came to magic. It was impossible for him to learn magic, which was extremely difficult in the entire magic world, by just reading books for a few days.

Silently, Yi Shuihan put the parchment back into the box. In the following days, he completely immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge, absorbing magical knowledge like a sponge.

During this time, Snape would occasionally bring potions, allowing Yi Shuihan's plan to acquire magic to proceed smoothly.

Harry Potter and his best friend Ron followed Hermione somewhat reluctantly. Hermione wanted to borrow a book from the library, but they were forced to come. What could they do? Hermione was a top student, while they were poor students. Although they didn't particularly like Hermione, she had unknowingly helped them a lot.

"Hey Harry, look."

Ron was the first to spot Yi Shuihan somewhere in the library and nudged Harry with his elbow.

"what happened?"

Hermione noticed something was off with Harry and Ron and asked.

"See that guy? That mysterious Easterner. Harry said he was the one who helped Harry find the platform and even told Harry to look him up if he had time!"

Ron was always a bit faster than Harry, and Harry could only nod in agreement that Ron was right.

“Let’s go talk to him. There aren’t many Asians at Hogwarts, and he doesn’t look like a student or a teacher here, because I know all the teachers at this school, and he’s not one of them,” Hermione said as she walked toward Yi Shuihan.

Ron and Harry exchanged a glance and followed.

"Can I excuse you for a moment?"

Approaching Yi Shuihan, Hermione looked somewhat cautious as she observed him still engrossed in his book.

Looking up, Yi Shuihan spotted the trio. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Harry, how have you been at Hogwarts lately?"

Harry was clearly pleased to be asked this question. Having grown up without his parents and being mistreated by his aunt, he was very sensitive to the concern shown by others.

"It's...it's alright. I really like it here. Everything here is so magical. It's like paradise compared to my previous life."

"If it weren't for Professor Snape."

Ron chimed in, "Hello, I'm Harry's friend, Ron. This is Hermione. Professor Snape seems to have a lot of prejudice against us and often makes things difficult for us in class."

“Without me!” Hermione added from the side.

Ron had no idea that he was just an innocent bystander; he was too close to Harry, so he was naturally caught in the crossfire.

They didn't know the relationship between Harry's parents and Snape, and therefore didn't know why Snape would do this.

"That's Nightshade Cat!" Hermione suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the cat sleeping soundly on Yi Shuihan's lap, her face full of excitement. "I've seen it in the Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures before. It's a magical creature that can switch between reality and illusion."

“Perhaps you should think about where you are, Gryffindor’s little lions.” Mrs. Pince appeared behind Hermione without her noticing, her face stern. “If you continue to make such a racket, perhaps I should ask you to leave.”

"sorry."

Hermione, the obedient child, quickly apologized, while Harry and Ron also kept quiet. Mrs. Pince's authority was on full display, and her expression softened considerably.

"Hmph, you'd better not bother my little meow, or I'll have a word with Professor McGonagall."

Chapter 524, Possessing Magical Power

After Mrs. Pince left, Hermione and the other two breathed a sigh of relief; they had truly been terrified.

“I really thought we were going to get points deducted just now,” Ron whispered.

Harry nodded as well, barely daring to say anything more.

“You don’t need to be afraid of her. She’s just being tough,” Yi Shuihan comforted him from the side. In fact, he knew that if these children hadn’t been talking to him, Madam Pings would not have been so polite and would have only given a slight warning without taking any real action.

"Its name is Meow? Mrs. Pince calls it Little Darling. Could it be Mrs. Pince's pet?" Hermione asked.

"No, he is my pet, it's just that Mrs. Pince likes him very much."

Yi Shuihan explained, teasing the little cat a bit, which made the little guy, who was still asleep, subconsciously use his little paws to shoo away the big hand that was playing tricks on it.

Hermione's eyes lit up at these actions, and even Ron, who wasn't particularly fond of animals, looked on with envy.

"By the way, what brings you to the library?"

Harry and Ron looked at Hermione, who glared at them and said, "I'm looking for a book on potions. I've already finished the first-year course on my own, so I want to expand on that."

Yes, it was indeed Hermione from his memory. Yi Shuihan was not surprised. He knew exactly how much Hermione loved studying. She even got a time-tamper from Professor McGonagall to learn all the courses in one day.

Compared to Harry and Ron, Yi Shuihan actually felt that Hermione was more suitable to be the protagonist of this world.

Speaking of the time converter, this is actually one of the things that Yi Shuihan wants to obtain in this world. The magicians in this world are not very strong, but they have managed to create such a heaven-defying thing, which makes Yi Shuihan marvel. In terms of alchemy, this world can be said to be much stronger than many other worlds.

In the realm of time, Yi Shuihan himself had achieved some success. Before becoming an immortal, he could stop time. After becoming an immortal, this ability to stop time was greatly enhanced. The time stopped increased from one second to three seconds, and the range also expanded tenfold compared to the beginning, which can be considered a huge increase in power.

"So Harry and Ron were just accompanying us?"

"Yes, she insisted that we come together. Actually, Harry and I had other things to do."

Ron was completely unaware that his words had made Hermione's face turn very ugly.

Harry seemed to sense something, but since he was closer to Ron, he hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

With such emotional intelligence, how could he marry Hermione? Yi Shuihan was now very suspicious that there was something fishy going on. Could it be that Ron used some shady methods later on?

Originally, Yi Shuihan didn't intend to get involved in their affairs, but seeing Ron's condition, Yi Shuihan made an important decision: she absolutely couldn't let Hermione, this beautiful flower, be stuck on Ron, this pile of cow dung.

Ron had no idea that because of one sentence, his wonderful marriage was about to end. If he had known, he would have been filled with regret.

"If you're looking for a book about potions, I think this one would be perfect for you."

Yi Shuihan pulled out a magic book, about 10cm thick, from the bottom of a stack of books next to him and handed it to Hermione.

"Advanced Guide to Beginner Potions." Hermione read out the book's title, then glanced through it briefly. After a moment, she said to Yi Shuihan, "Thank you, this book is really suitable for me."

Harry and Ron watched in astonishment. The book was so thick that it made their eyes dizzy just looking at it, yet Hermione seemed so happy. They simply couldn't understand what was going on in Hermione's mind.

"Yi, do you often read books here?"

Harry asked.

"That's good. I'll probably be here a lot lately. The library is a great place to study; it's quiet and has lots of useful books."

Yi Shuihan spoke with some emotion. The past few days of continuous study, completely immersed in the magical world, had greatly improved his state of mind. Although it couldn't be immediately converted into strength, it had laid a good foundation for future strength improvement. Perhaps at some point, the insights gained during this period would become a wonderful assist.

"Can I come here to ask you if I have any questions? Coming here, I realized that I know absolutely nothing about magic."

Harry scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed. He could have asked Hermione for help, but he preferred to ask Yi Shuihan for help, since Yi Shuihan was much older than him and would be more acceptable than asking a girl his age.

"Of course, whenever I have time."

Harry smiled at Yi Shuihan's answer.

After chatting for a while about Harry's time at school and gaining some goodwill, the trio left, while Yi Shuihan continued his academic research, and everything seemed to proceed smoothly.

A month later,

"This is the 40th bottle. It seems that I will be able to fully possess the magic today, and I can start to put some of the theoretical knowledge into practice."

In the room, Yi Shuihan excitedly held the medicine bottle. He had been in the library not long ago, but after receiving news that Snape had finished making the medicine, he immediately took it back to his room.

Composing himself, Yi Shuihan tilted his head back and poured the potion into his mouth. Just like the previous 39 times, powerful magical energy surged through his body once more. This time, the magical energy surged like ocean waves, one after another, sometimes large, sometimes small, continuing for 39 times until the quantitative change led to a qualitative change.

The magical fluctuations on Yi Shuihan's body rapidly decreased, but instead of disappearing completely as before, they stabilized at a relatively small fluctuation. This fluctuation was proof that Yi Shuihan possessed magical power, and from then on, Yi Shuihan was also a person with magical power.

"Although the magic power is somewhat limited, it's a good start overall, and..."

Unlike others who can only wait to grow up and increase their magic power, Yi Shuihan can increase his magic power quickly whenever he wants; all he has to do is continue to take magic potions.

The potion's effects on Yi Shuihan were far from complete. Only when the concentration of magic power in Yi Shuihan's body was similar to that of the potion would the potion completely lose its effect on him. At that point, Yi Shuihan's magic power might be significantly greater than Dumbledore's.

Chapter 525, Wanting to Personally Refine Magic Potions

Having acquired magic, things became incredibly fun, with Yi Shuihan trying out all sorts of spells that he had previously only imagined in his mind.

Yi Shuihan has little magic power, but he recovers quickly. Basically, after casting a spell, he can be fully restored in just a few breaths, thanks to his physique, which is much stronger than that of an ordinary mage.

Some spells require too much magic power to cast, so Yi Shuihan can only cast spells within his magic power limit for the time being.

Even so, Yi Shuihan had a great time.

"Flying around, restored to its original state, petrified, torn to pieces, Menthos..."

For several hours in a row, if anyone came to Yi Shuihan's room, they would find that Yi Shuihan was casting spells as if he were possessed.

"You seem very happy. Did something good happen?"

Because of Miaoya, Mrs. Pingsi would sometimes chat with Yi Shuihan.

"Is it that obvious?"

Yi Shuihan was surprised, then honestly replied, "Yes, I successfully cast some magic yesterday."

"Congratulations!"

At this moment, Mrs. Pins had no idea how low-level the magic Yi Shuihan was talking about was; she thought it was the kind of magic that adult wizards had to learn.

Mrs. Pince never even considered that Yi Shuihan had only acquired magic yesterday, nor would she dare to think so. In fact, in her eyes, Yi Shuihan had always been a very mysterious being. For Dumbledore to treat him that way, he must be a very powerful wizard.

Yi Shuihan's reading of low-level magic books in the library was also taken as research by her, since Yi Shuihan started by reading low-level ones, but later she read much higher-level ones.

To some extent, Mrs. Pince's view was not wrong. Yi Shuihan was indeed powerful, but he was not a wizard. Of course, that was before. Now he could barely be considered a wizard, a wizard whose level was similar to that of a Hogwarts student.

Seeing Mrs. Pings fawning over Miaoya like a servant as usual, Yi Shuihan shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on a magic book, but he was thinking about other things.

"Perhaps I should learn how to make potions myself. It's a waste of time to just passively wait for Snape! Besides, I can also practice potion-making. In addition, I need to find the Room of Requirement. It's a great place to practice magic."

Yi Shuihan had not forgotten his unhatched egg with phoenix blood, but he also knew that his current level of magic was definitely not enough to learn the As Communication Technique, so he wanted to improve his level quickly.

Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan took the initiative and first found Snape. When he found him, Snape was in Potions class.

"Mr. Potter, what happens when you mix daffodils and Nass grass?"

In class, Snape, dressed in black robes, spoke with a cold expression, his eyes fixed on Harry Potter like an owl, creating a rather tense atmosphere.
