Chapter 164: The Magic Wand! (Fourth Update)

  Time flies, and August soon passed by, a new month began, Lin Xiao except occasionally returning to the house in Xiaohuijin district, spent more time staying inside the broken pot bar.

  Since the last time Lin Xiao saw Voldemort, he had not seen him again. On this day, Lin Xiao was strolling around in the alley with nothing to do. Recently, his mood has been good, on the one hand, Hogwarts is about to start school, and on the other hand, he finally touched the breakthrough of his cultivation, believing that as long as he works hard for a few more months, he can break through to the second-order Yuanwu warrior.

  "Dad, are we going to buy a magic wand now?"

  "Of course, every wizard needs a wand of their own. Look over there, that's Ollivanders, the best wand shop in Diagon Alley. After we finish buying everything else, Dad will take you to buy your very own wand!"

  "Great, Dad, let's go quickly!"

  Lin Xiao's ears twitched slightly, and his gaze swept towards the little boy who was pulling his father forward, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

  "Now that we're in the wizarding world, it would be a waste if we didn't buy a wand." Lin Xiao looked up at the most famous wand shop in all of Britain not far away.

  Ollivander, since 382 BC, has been crafting superior wands, the gold standard, even the Dark Lord used a wand made by Ollivander before using the Elder Wand.

  Lin Xiao had always been worried that the magic wand would be marked by others, which would expose his position. However, after careful consideration, it seemed not to be the case. If so, how could Voldemort and other dark wizards hide?

  It should be that only the wands of students are marked to prevent them from casting spells outside of school, and Lin Xiao is not a student, so his wand will not be marked. Moreover, he has the Wan Jie system, so it's no big deal to let Hua Dian Jie send it into the system space for Xiang Er to take a look.

  "Then go buy one and try it out." Lin Xiao lifted his feet and walked forward with a light step, passing through the crowd and directly pushing open the door to enter this ancient magic wand shop.

  Ding-dong!

  Lin Xiao looked up and saw the wind chime at the door, and found that the wizards here seemed to like hanging a wind chime at the door.

  At this time, an old wizard with white hair and a wrinkled face walked out from the depths of the inner shelf.

  "Welcome, my guest!" He curiously sized up Lin Xiao while quickly walking to his front and directly took out a leather ruler to measure Lin Xiao's arm without waiting for him to speak.

  "Respected guest, which hand are you accustomed to using?"

  Lin Xiao smiled and raised his right hand, he wasn't left-handed.

  Olifander smiled and nodded, and the leather tape immediately began measuring around his right hand.

  In less than a minute, Lin Xiao's arm data had been memorized by Ollivan, who hastily turned around and walked into the shelves. After a round of selection, he saw him holding more than a dozen magic wand boxes walking out.

  Bang!

  He put down the pile of wand boxes in his hand, and instantly stirred up a burst of gray dust.

  Lin Xiao helplessly waved his hand, and a gust of green wind rose up, directly blowing away the dust.

  "Not bad magic!" Ollivander's eyes lit up at once. "Come, try this one."

  Lin Xiao took over the magic wand handed over by Ollivander and swung it lightly in his hand.

  In perception, a strand of energy inside the magic wand came into contact with the energy within his body through his palm, instantly triggering a chain reaction.

  With a loud "Boom!", a nearby oil lamp was suddenly blown into pieces.

  "Oh! This definitely won't do!" Olivander directly snatched the wand from Lin Xiao's hand, put it back in its original box, and then took out another wand from a different box and handed it to Lin Xiao.

  "Come on, try this one!"

  Lin Xiao took over the magic wand and held it in his hand, waving it lightly.

  Still the same kind of contact and collision between energies, the energy inside the magic wand seemed unwilling to accept him as its master. This time it didn't blow up other oil lamps, but instead a chair not far away was affected.

  One leg of that chair suddenly disappeared, and after shaking for a few times with one leg lost, it fell to the ground.

  "No, no, absolutely not!" Olivander snatched the wand out of Lin Xiao's hand again and handed him a new one. "Come on, see how this one is?"

  Bang! A small pit was smashed out of the ground.

  "No way, no way, let's change again!"

  "Buzz~~~~!!! A burst of extremely ear-piercing and unpleasant noise erupted, and Olivander hastily snatched the magic wand from Lin Xiao's hand."

  "No, no, change it again!"

  Bang!

  "Not good, change again!"

  Rumble!

  "Not good, change again!"

  Crunch!

  "It's no good..."

  For more than an hour, Lin Xiao tried dozens of magic wands. Olivander, who was already drenched in sweat at his age, not only didn't feel bored but became increasingly excited instead.

  "Oh! I like picky customers." That's what he said.

  But he wasn't annoyed, Lin Xiao was getting a bit impatient though.

  Isn't it just buying a magic wand? Why is it so troublesome?

  "Damn it, if you don't listen to me I'll snap you in two!" Lin Xiao shouted menacingly, brandishing another new magic wand in his hand.

  Who knew that this magic wand seemed to have a life of its own, as if it had heard Lin Xiao's threat, and it suddenly flew out of Lin Xiao's grasp and back into the wand box.

  This sight even made Olivander stunned, he had been selling wands for a lifetime and had never seen such a situation.

  The magic wand somehow ran back into its box by itself, what's going on here?

  Lin Xiao's face turned somewhat pale, as if he had just been lifted up by a magic wand.

  The blue veins on his temples jumped one by one, and Olivander didn't notice Lin Xiao's expression at all. He was still excitedly selecting wands from the shelves that might suit Lin Xiao.

  Just as Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst out and break the magic wand, a "pop" sound was heard, and Xiang Er's illusory image suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xiao.

  "Wow! Are you buying a magic wand?" Xinger curiously stared at the few wands placed on the counter, and Lin Xiao even saw her poke them with her hand, as if to see if they would react.

  Lin Xiao's eyes twitched as he looked at her, and it wasn't until half a beat later that he let out a low sigh.

  "Never mind, it seems these wands aren't suitable for me after all." Lin Xiao said with some disappointment.

  At this time, Ollivander was still inside selecting wands and did not hear Lin Xiao's muttering to himself. Only Xiner, who was close by, heard it clearly.

  "Are you letting the magic wand recognize you on its own?" Xiang'er suddenly turned her head and asked him.

  Lin Xiao thought for a moment and nodded his head. He indeed hadn't done anything, but had simply let the magic wand choose him itself.

  Lin Xiao nodded and Xiang'er couldn't help but laugh.

  "No wonder none of the wands you tried worked for you, did it ever occur to you that the wand itself might be rejecting the yuan force within your body?" Xiang'er said with a smile.

  "Repulsion Force!" Lin Xiao was stunned as soon as he heard it, if that's really the case, then he would be stupid enough not to have thought of it before. Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but secretly pick up the magic wand on the counter again, which was the one that flew back into the box earlier.

  However, this time he did not let the magic wand touch his internal energy by itself, but instead actively extended a thread of spiritual power to touch the magic wand.

  As expected, the originally turbulent magic wand was now steady and calm in Lin Xiao's hand, with even a faint glow emanating from its tip.

  Lin Xiao took a glance and quickly put the magic wand back into the box, pretending that nothing had happened. At this time, Ollivander also came back with a large pile of wand boxes again.

  "It seems that things are indeed as Xiang'er said, these magic wands are not rejecting me, but rather the yuan force within my body. In that case, as long as I don't let the magic wands come into contact with the yuan force, there won't be any rejection. Having figured this out, Lin Xiao no longer allowed the magic wands to choose him. He looked at the large pile of magic wands that Orlifander had brought back and directly used his detection technique to examine the information of these magic wands."

  The wizards' wands were made in a way that Lin Xiao didn't understand, but he also knew that the quality of the wands varied.

  A good wand casts the same magic with less spiritual power consumption and can exert greater power, so a good wand is very important.

  It used to be the wand choosing the wizard, and a good wand would never choose a wizard with poor qualifications. However, Lin Xiao didn't need that; he simply looked at the wands in front of him and found that their quality was much better than those Olivander had given him to try before.

  "What a weird guy, at first he takes out relatively inferior wands for the guests to try, and only when they are not satisfied after trying several times will he take out the truly high-quality wands. What kind of thinking is this?" Lin Xiao was puzzled in his heart, but he also didn't bother to care about how Ollivander thought.

  Lin Xiao didn't wait for Orlifan to hand him a wand, but instead directly reached into the pile of wands in front of him and pulled out a box. He opened it and took out the wand inside.

  Olifander watched Lin Xiao's movements without stopping, but instead looked at him with great interest until Lin Xiao's spiritual power lightly touched the magic wand, and the entire tip of the magic wand was surrounded by a bright phosphorescent light, his face finally showed a surprised expression.

  "It's too incredible! This wand is extremely suitable for you!" Olivander exclaimed.

  Lin Xiao put away his magic wand with a smile and looked at Olifander, "How much?"

  Aurorin hadn't yet recovered from his astonishment and replied with a somewhat dazed expression, "Seven."

  "Give."

  Lin Xiao paid the money and didn't care about Olivander who was still in a daze, directly pushing the door to leave the wand shop.
