Save the Bachelor of Heaven

 Chapter 4173 4175【Studying around】

Xiang Nan then lived with Lily on Penglai Island.

I usually exchange magic skills with the teachers on the island, and occasionally give lessons to students in Middle-earth.

As the exchange deepened, Xiang Nan also learned more about the Taoism of the Middle Earth.

Taoism in China is its own family. Although during the Han Dynasty, Chinese and Western cultures began to communicate, and witchcraft from Persia, India, and Greece were gradually introduced to China, Taoism in China still remained relatively independent.

The history of Penglai can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, so many ancient Taoist classics have been preserved.

Xiang Nan lived in Penglai for two years and read through the Taoist classics preserved in Penglai, which further improved his knowledge reserve and strength.

For example, he learned spells such as summoning wind and rain, flying sand and moving rocks, lightning and thunder, and spreading beans to form soldiers. It can be said that he benefited a lot.

It's a pity that in ancient times, there were frequent wars and unrest in China and Earth, which led to the loss of many ancient Taoist teachings. Otherwise, Xiang Nan would have learned more Taoism.

Even so, he was already satisfied.

As the saying goes, there is no end to learning. Xiang Nan knew that he could not learn all the knowledge in one world. If you can’t learn it in this world, it will be the same in the next world.

It is worth mentioning that Penglai retains a lot of the original characteristics of China.

For example, its potion class is called alchemy, spells are called spells, divination class is called I Ching, Bagua, and Plum Blossom Counting, herbal medicine class is called "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", and the protection of magical animals class is called " "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In addition, students in Penglai take flying lessons not on broomsticks, but on crutches.

In the Care of Magical Creatures class, we don’t learn about unicorns, bowtruckles, or hippogriffs, but about unicorns, zouwu, dangkang, cranes, etc.

While in Penglai, Lily became pregnant successfully and gave birth to a son for Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan named him August Snape.

…

When August was one year old, Xiang Nan and Lily left Penglai and went to Ilvermorny Magic School in the United States.

I stayed there for a while and had academic exchanges with professors at the school.

In fact, the foundation of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is not as deep as Hogwarts.

Because this school was only founded in the seventeenth century, seven hundred years later than Hogwarts.

However, when the Ilvermorny Magic School was first founded, it had cooperated with local Indian wizards, so it retained a large amount of Indian witchcraft.

The ancient witchcraft spread by the Indians has unique insights and quite high achievements in the aspects of magic, herbal medicine, and potions.

So Xiang Nan stayed in Ilvermorny for another six months, and then the family went to Wagadu, Africa.

There are many differences between Wagadu's magic and the witchcraft in Europe, Middle-earth, and North America.

They inherited a large amount of ancient Egyptian witchcraft and made extraordinary achievements in magic, transfiguration, herbalism and alchemy.

It is said that Alajo Cave Opening, a popular lock-opening spell in the magical world, was invented by African wizards and was later spread to Europe in the seventeenth century.

The wizards in Wagadu are also very good at transfiguration. Children in the third and fourth grades have learned the Animagus and can freely transform into elephants, lions, cheetahs and other beasts, which is quite powerful.

In addition, Xiang Nan also learned more techniques for casting spells without a wand.

Because the wand was only introduced to Wagadu in the 19th century, before that, African wizards cast spells without a wand, so their ability to cast spells without a wand was much stronger than that of European wizards.

But having said that, the wand can better control magic power and consolidate and enhance the effect of spell casting, so the wand is not useless.

The wizards of Wagadu are now accustomed to using wands.

Later, Xiang Nan's family went to Castrobushe, South America. That magic school preserved a lot of Indian witchcraft knowledge, and the ancient witchcraft preserved in Ilvermorny Magic School was not the same at all.

Because although they are both called Indians, the Indians in South America and North America have different origins and different civilizations.

The Indian civilization in North America is the Mayan civilization and the Aztec civilization, while the Indian civilization in South America is the Inca civilization. The gap between the three is quite large.

The Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is unique in the areas of charms, potions, herbalism and the protection of magical animals.

The author of the fifth-year Hogwarts textbook "Advanced Potion Making", Libasius Pollach, graduated from Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Xiang Nan also learned a lot of knowledge there.

…

Following, Xiang Nan’s family went to Beauxbatons in France.

Because that school is funded by Nico Flamel, it is much more beautiful than Hogwarts, and its historical heritage is also quite impressive.

Especially accomplished in the fields of magic and alchemy.

However, Xiang Nan was not invited by Beauxbatons, so he used the earth escape technique to secretly sneak into Beauxbatons Magic School.

After staying in France for a year, Xiang Nan and Lily went to Durmstrang in Eastern Europe and the Crestorius Magic School in Russia, both of which were also sneaked in secretly.

Durmstrang is located in Scandinavia. The school is surrounded by icebergs and snow rivers, which is very spectacular and beautiful.

This school is famous for dark magic. The dark wizard Grindelwald and the Death Eater Igor Karkaroff are both from Durmstrang.

Of course, Durmstrang is not all dark wizards. Victor Krum in the Triwizard Tournament is an upright and brave man.

In addition, its ancient magical literature is also very strong. After all, it is the home of the ancient runes, supposedly created by Odin, the King of the Gods.

Russia's Corisdorez Magic School is located in the tundra of Western Siberia. It is colder and the environment is more harsh than Durmstrang.

This magic school excels in Charms, Potions, Herbology and Flying Lessons.

Because when they learn to fly, they use neither brooms nor crutches, nor flying carpets like those used in the Middle East. Instead, they directly climb a big tree and ride on them, which is quite sturdy.

…

After leaving Russia, Xiang Nan's family went to West Asia again.

Shakkul Magic School in West Asia is located in an oasis in the vast desert, and its environment is completely different from that of several other schools.

This magic school is unique in the fields of Charms, Transfiguration, Potions and Herbology, and they fly with the help of flying carpets.

This type of transportation is much stronger than broomsticks, crutches, and trees. Not only can it carry more people, but it is also very comfortable to sit on.

You must know that riding a broomstick, crutches, or a tree is very uncomfortable and can easily irritate your crotch. But it is much more comfortable to sit on the flying carpet, and you can even lie down.

However, in order to maintain the characteristics of the British wizarding community, the British Ministry of Magic strictly prohibited the import of flying carpets, resulting in British wizards only riding broomsticks.

Xiang Nan suspects that this is the reason why the fertility rate of British wizards has not been high. In other words, he would rather travel on a flying carpet than on a broomstick.

For the last stop, Xiang Nan’s family went to Khalilabad Academy of Magic in Tianzhu.

This magic academy is located on the top of a snow-capped mountain. The surrounding mountains are rolling and undulating, and the scenery is very magnificent.

Khalilabad Academy of Magic specializes in Charms, Potions, Herbology and Transfiguration.

Xiang Nan also benefited a lot there.
