Remember [New] in a second! "It really made him do it..." Dumbledore shook his head and smiled wryly. He didn't expect that Tom could actually refine the representative of the highest achievement in alchemy, and it only took less than half a year.

What Dumbledore can be sure of is that Tom didn't realize this by himself, and it should have been assisted by some external force.

He guessed right, without Menis's emerald slab, Tom would never have been able to refine it successfully. But with the help of the Jade Slab, Tom made the impossible possible.

Tom and Hermione found a secluded corner, where they were going to take the Philosopher's Stone.

Tom took out the mortar from the Potions class, put the Philosopher's Stone in it, and then pounded it violently with a stone pestle. The seemingly hard Philosopher's Stone shattered into several pieces at once.

After Tom beat it several times, the blood-shining stone turned into a pile of blood-red powder. Tom didn't mean to stop, he pounded the pile of powder repeatedly, trying to make them finer.

"Have you ever regretted it?" Hermione asked quietly after watching Tom crush the Sorcerer's Stone into powder, "The Sorcerer's Stone can turn stones into gold."

"So?" Tom looked up puzzled.

"You can take a Philosopher's Stone and conjure a lot of gold, and then, you can do many, many things..."

A question mark slowly popped up in Tom's head.

"What's the point?"

"That's gold!" Hermione's eyes seemed to light up when she said this, "Aren't you interested in gold?"

After thinking about it seriously, Tom replied: "I'm interested. The love for gold should have been imprinted in human genes. Anyone who sees a large amount of gold stacked together can't help but get excited."

Without waiting for Hermione to say anything, Tom went on to say: "But if I want to get gold, I don't need to embezzle your Sorcerer's Stone at all. I can ask Dumbledore for it, I can use my alchemy skills to earn it, and I can even command gold." The dementors go to grab it, but you don’t need to use the magic stone to turn it into gold—in my opinion, selling the magic stone is more reliable than using it to make gold.”

Tom was telling the truth. If he lost his face now, he could search for an astonishing amount of wealth in a very short time. Not to mention anything else, just letting the dementors go looting can easily get more than ten tons of gold.

"Okay, okay!" Hermione interrupted Tom's chatter as if she had heard a satisfactory answer.

Pointing to the powder in the mortar, she said, "Is it almost there? I think we can drink it with water."

The spellbook in the mortar had turned into a fine powder.

Tom carefully poured them into a cup, and then poured some water into it. The powder of the Philosopher's Stone dissolved in the water at once, turning the cup of water into the color of blood.

Hermione took the water glass from Tom and drank the liquid in it.

Tom looked at her with concern. Seeing that she had finished drinking, he couldn't wait to ask, "How do you feel? Do you feel better?"

Hermione smacked her lips, indicating that there was no taste at all. This is good news, because the potion that Snape concocted obviously didn't consider the taste issue, and it tastes terrible, but the Philosopher's Stone Pourer is better than it in taste.

After taking the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione's complexion looked a lot better, she felt radiant, and the collagen on her face seemed to be filled.

But other than that, nothing else has changed.

Tom lifted Hermione's face with his index finger, looked around for a while, and finally smiled lightly: "In my eyes, you are more valuable than gold equal to you."

"Really? Then I have to get fatter." Hermione blinked mischievously.

The two hugged each other and said some boring words. When he was about to leave, Tom found that there was still some powder of the Philosopher's Stone on the mortar and pestle just now.

Tom: ...

"Shouldn't it be a problem if I didn't eat the whole Philosopher's Stone?" He was a little uncertain, but considering that the Philosopher's Stone was used to replenish vitality, it shouldn't hurt to lose some leftovers.

"Wait." Hermione suddenly remembered something, and took out a box of balm from her pocket.

She flicked her wand, and the balm in the box floated out in a ball.

Tom:?

He watched as Hermione rubbed the ointment on her mortar and pestle, absorbing the remaining Sorcerer's Stone powder into it.

Hermione returned the powdered balm to the box intact, and the pale yellow balm had turned pink.

"Is this...?" Tom was confused.

"It's not a waste, do you want to apply some?" Hermione picked out a little balm from the box, and stretched it out in front of Tom generously.

"Then this should be the most luxurious cosmetic in the world, right?" Tom couldn't help but want to complain, ordinary cosmetics are luxurious enough if you add pearl powder, but Hermione, you actually add Sorcerer's Stone crumbs directly...

There is no more arrogant existence in the entire magic world than her!

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or a miraculous effect, but the balm mixed with the Philosopher's Stone made Hermione's skin fairer and tenderer. But everything has a price. Tom bit the bullet to explain to Professor Snape in potions class why the potion powder he ground had a scent, which was the price Hermione paid for doing so.

As the days passed, the final project of the Triwizard Tournament approached, along with the final exam.

In order to host the third project, Hogwarts made some "small changes" to the Quidditch pitch, transforming the pitch into a maze. It is said that the warriors need to go through the maze to get the Triwizard Cup set in the middle of the maze.

"The Great Era of Rebirth"

The first warrior to get the trophy is the winner of the game. He will receive the supreme honor and a bonus of 800 Galleons ~lightnovelpub.net~ Of course, this maze is not a simple maze. Under Tom's suggestion, Dumbledore set it up as a three-dimensional maze . There are 27 sections in the whole maze, which are arranged like a third-order Rubik's cube, and the positions will be moved every once in a while. Its difficulty is enough to become a nightmare for warriors.

Of course, the warriors don't know these details, they only know that they are going through the maze.

On the day of the competition, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, represented by Minister of Magic Burns, will also visit here, along with distinguished guests from the far east—just to ensure the safety of the distinguished guests, Hogwarts will Set up strict security checks and confiscate their wands.

This was originally an excuse for Principal Dumbledore to prevent them from entering Hogwarts, but unexpectedly these Japanese magicians agreed all of a sudden, and said that they could completely understand the Hogwarts school's approach. Their cooperative attitude really couldn't make Dumbledore refuse their application to watch the game again.

And what kind of storm can a wizard without a wand cause?
