Chapter 55 Discovering the Curse (Ch 55)

“Christmas is over, it’s time to end the exchange meeting.”
Chen Feng glanced at the time and woke everyone up with a word.
“Ah, seven days have already passed?!”
A potion master rubbed his eyes in disbelief. To him, it seemed like only a short time had passed.
“I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly. I didn’t even notice it.”
Another potion master took out his pocket watch and checked several times, and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Yeah, I’ve been immersed in the study of the Magic Furnace these days and didn’t notice the passage of time at all.” Wilson also sighed.
As potion masters, they are always very sensitive to time.
This mistake was entirely due to the huge impact brought by the Magic Furnace.
I couldn’t help myself and got caught up in studying day and night, thus ignoring the time.
After waiting for a while for the potion masters to recover, Chen Feng continued speaking.
“Everyone, this is only the second gathering. There will be a third, fourth, and even countless times in the future. There is no need to rush.”
“Besides, it takes time to master the Magic Furnace, and the harvest this time will take even more time to settle.”
“After you go back, you can first adapt to the changes brought about by the furnace.”
“Next time we get together, we will surely be able to generate more sparks of inspiration.”
Having said this, everyone nodded happily.
Just as Chen Feng said, the gains this time were enormous and it would take a lot of time to sort out and absorb them. It would be useless to stay any longer.
“Chen, for subsequent gatherings, will notifications still be made via jade talismans?” Damocles Belby came forward and asked.
Currently, only a few people from the first wave of gatherings have the jade talisman, and the rest of the potion masters who participated for the second time all came with the help of their friends.
If we have a third party, we can’t ask our friends to carry it again.
This doubt also appeared in the minds of other potion masters.
Facing everyone’s inquiring gazes, Chen Feng smiled and said, “The Potion Club logo just now has a certain communication function. The next time we gather, just pay attention to the changes in the magic rune coins.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood and no longer had any doubts.
After another round of greetings, the potion masters began to leave in an orderly manner.
As the host, Chen Feng personally escorted these people to the gate of Hogwarts and agreed to have a friendly exchange next time. This gathering of Potions Masters was finally successfully concluded.
“Professor Snape, what did you gain from this party?”
Turning back to the castle, Chen Feng happened to see Severus Snape, who was wearing a black robe and looked like a ghost. He greeted him familiarly.
“Not bad.” Snape’s face twitched, as if he had a lot to say, but only this one sentence came out of his mouth.
“That’s good.” Chen Feng nodded slowly.
He valued Snape’s talent in potions.
This may be the person who is most likely to break through to the Grandmaster level after himself, so it is necessary to give him appropriate emphasis.
So he added a few more sentences.
“Professor Snape, we are colleagues in school and have spent more time together.”
“If you have any inspiration or ideas, you can communicate with me. You must know that the development of the potion industry cannot be separated from the efforts of everyone.”
Hearing this, Snape frowned, pursed his lips, and looked Chen Feng up and down: “I will, Professor Chen!”
Having said that, there is no need to say more. After saying goodbye to Severus Snape, Chen Feng entered the library again.
He opened an ancient magic book and began to read it with great interest.
It is afternoon now and there is still some time before dark, so we cannot waste it.
As for the Horcrux, Ravenclaw’s Diadem, it would not be too late to dissect it when the night is quiet and no one is around.
Anyway, it has fallen into his own hands. With his current strength, even if Dumbledore, Voldemort, or Grindelwald himself took action, they would not be able to take it away.
There is no need to worry too much.
The sun was shining, and in the silent library, the only sound was the rustling of pages turning.
On the other side, Snape glanced at Chen Feng, who was immersed in reading, from a distance, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter, forming an obvious “川” shape.
He attended both Potions Master gatherings.
I thought it was just an ordinary exchange meeting, but the development of the situation was beyond my expectations after the second time.
The Potions Society, an organization that was powerful enough to influence the power structure of the wizarding world, was formed right before his eyes.
Even though there are only a dozen of them at the moment, you have to know that they are potion masters!
Each of them is a top figure in the industry and has a wide range of friends.
The changes brought about by such a force coming together are truly immeasurable.
Even Voldemort, who once dominated the world, could not do it.
The reason why it was able to gather such a large number of people was purely due to pure-blood glory, reaping benefits and suppressing with force.
Very few of them are sincere. Just look at the Death Eaters who instantly dispersed after Voldemort’s downfall.
However, now, Bruce Chen has gained the support of many potion masters without any bloodshed.
The most important thing is that these people are volunteers!
Just thinking about it, Snape couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Obviously, as time goes by, the influence of the Potions Society will spread, and Bruce Chen, as the president, is destined to have a say that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
Who will be able to resist then? Who will be willing to resist?
“I hope I’m just overthinking…”
Thinking of the last thought, Snape shuddered all over. Even though he was experienced in life, he couldn’t help feeling horrified.
Chen Feng, who was concentrating on reading the magic book, had no idea what Snape was thinking.
Now, through deliberately reading relevant books, the knowledge of curse magic has reached a limit.
[After a period of study, your proficiency in curses has been improved. Current proficiency: Grandmaster (3/50000). You can cast spells without a spell, and the power does not decrease when casting without a wand.]
Compared to the blood curse, the curse learned from the forbidden book is weaker, but after reaching the master level, it also undergoes a certain qualitative change.
Closing his eyes, sorting out the various flashes of inspiration that flashed through his mind, and feeling his strength increase again, a smile appeared on Chen Feng’s lips.
Soon, the knowledge was digested, and he slowly opened his eyes. A flash of light appeared and then disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the prompt in my mind again, after this upgrade, the corresponding blood curse technique has reached the expert level (3451/5000).
“Well, the Defense Against the Dark Arts curse really does exist.”
With the grandmaster-level curse and expert-level blood curse, Chen Feng sensed it slightly and immediately discovered that an extremely obscure force was surrounding him.
By observing from a special perspective, one can discover wisps of gray mist constantly seeping into one’s body.
Intermittently, one could hear shrill wails, vicious insults, and terrifying moans.
However, he had always been cautious. When he reached the master level in the field of magic runes, he immediately constructed a protective barrier, which unexpectedly prevented the erosion of the curse.
As for the cursed gray fog that had taken root in his body before, he had already cleared it away when his curse technique had just reached the master level.
“It seems that the mystery of magic runes is more profound than the blood curse.”
While flipping through the books, I was thinking to myself.
