Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

"Portable Immortal Field: One acre in diameter, naturally generating immortal energy and receiving spiritual rain, suitable for planting all non-innate spiritual root level medicinal herbs. (Note: The higher the level of the immortal plant, the more immortal energy it requires to grow, and the longer its growth time. Please use it wisely.)"

Ye Feng: o(≧口≦)o

After reading the introduction to the portable immortal field, Ye Feng was furious. He was so angry that he almost slapped himself twice. He had completely forgotten about such an important and valuable item after he attained enlightenment, and had no idea that he had such a thing.

"What a waste! If I had started using this the moment I got it, I might have already grown the immortal herb!" Frustrated, Ye Feng probed his personal immortal field with his divine sense, and then he was stunned.

At this moment, the innate 'weeds' within a radius of one acre were overgrown, but this was not what shocked Ye Feng the most. What truly shocked him was that above this innate area, there was an immortal mist that had condensed into droplets due to its extreme density!

But that's not the most outrageous part. The most outrageous part is that in one corner of this fairy field, in front of the small thatched hut next to the fairy field, there is a 'pond' that occupies about a quarter of the entire fairy field, and the 'water' in this pond is the purest spiritual liquid.

You think that's all? No, when Ye Feng's true body entered his personal immortal field and walked to the edge of the 'pond,' he discovered that this wasn't the most outrageous thing, because a thick layer of spirit crystals had condensed at the bottom of the pond.

Spirit crystals are pure crystals formed entirely from spiritual energy. Their value may not be as high as that of top-grade spirit stones, but the purity of their spiritual energy surpasses that of top-grade spirit stones.

Even a higher purity spirit crystal is not as valuable as a top-grade spirit stone. The reason is simple: spirit crystals are pure spiritual energy crystals, and nothing is left after absorption; once used, they are gone.

However, spirit stones are different. Although the higher the grade of a spirit stone, the purer it is, even the best spirit stones are not entirely composed of spiritual energy. They still contain other components, but these components do not affect the absorption of spiritual energy, nor are they absorbed by people along with the spiritual energy.

In other words, after a spirit stone absorbs all the spiritual energy, there will be some residue. If you don't completely drain the spiritual energy from the spirit stone, you can place it in a place with abundant spiritual energy, and it can 'recharge itself'. Moreover, the higher the grade and the better the quality of the spirit stone, the faster the recharge will be, and the fewer impurities in the spiritual energy will be.

For this reason, top-grade spirit stones are more valuable than spirit crystals.

However, this did not affect the rarity of spirit crystals in the slightest. And now, the spirit crystals here with Ye Feng are directly from the bottom of the pond. Ye Feng only roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of catties of spirit crystals in it.

"I've struck it rich! I never imagined that the spiritual energy and immortal energy in the Immortal Field would start generating and accumulating from the moment I acquired it, instead of having to take it out and activate it myself!"

Upon discovering that his personal immortal field had not suffered significant damage due to his forgetfulness, or the kind of damage he had imagined, Ye Feng instantly became excited. Then, looking at the immortal field that had not been submerged by the spiritual liquid, a fiery light appeared in his eyes.

"But before that, we need to collect these spirit crystals first, and then tidy up this pond so we can plant some aquatic spiritual herbs in it..."

Half a day later, Ye Feng looked at the 'weeds' that had been cleared away. Although the area was bare, it had been neatly arranged and transformed into celestial fields and ponds with exposed soil. He showed a satisfied expression.

"Next is planting things, but I don't have many suitable spiritual plants, so I'll plant some common medicinal herbs or magical potions as well."

Two days later, Ye Feng looked at the Fairy Fields, which had been transformed into neat plots of land and turned lush and green again, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"Very good. Now we just need to check on it occasionally to avoid any accidents, and then we can wait for the harvest."

Ye Feng had actually been thinking of raising some things in the pond, but unfortunately, apart from Little Grey, none of the other magical animals, even those that had taken Qi and Blood Pills, could stay in it for more than three seconds. This was because if they stayed in it for more than three seconds, they would be overwhelmed by the extremely dense spiritual and immortal energy.

Therefore, Ye Feng had to abandon the idea of ​​raising anything inside. However, this was only temporary, because Little Grey could move freely inside, which proved that other animals could do it too, as long as they were strong enough, and this would require consuming pills day after day.

Ye Feng wouldn't have dared to treat pills like candy before, but now...

With his personal immortal field, he could harvest a batch of qualified materials for refining ordinary pills every three days. The spiritual energy absorbed by these medicinal materials was more than enough to be produced by the immortal field every day, so he could produce as much as he wanted.

However, Ye Feng did not become completely obsessed with farming and alchemy, because the second stage of the Three Strongest Tournament was about to begin.

Although this was no challenge for Ye Feng at all, they had promised Dumbledore to limit the use of magic, so they still needed to prepare a little. Otherwise, it would seem like they were not taking the competition seriously enough and were not respecting Fleur and Krum.

Chapter 281 Hibiscus: How about we transfer schools?

"Um…"

"In water combat, especially prolonged combat, the most important thing is freedom of movement, which means ensuring that you can breathe underwater without holding your breath or frequently exhaling."

"Then there's agility and movement speed, as well as vision. Visibility underwater isn't always good, so that needs to be taken into account too. So... what kind of magic should I choose..."

Inside the library, Ye Feng rested his chin on his hand, seemingly deep in thought about how to break out of his current predicament, but the books in front of him...

The book, which was wider than his body when unfolded and could be used as a shield, was written in Chinese as "Complete Collection of Hunan Cuisine".

Although he promised Dumbledore he would only use three spells, unless Dumbledore sabotaged him in the dark, he could easily complete the contest by simply lying on a small wooden boat on the lake. So, magic... what's the point of looking at a recipe?

As for why Hogwarts' library has a Chinese version of the Complete Guide to Hunan Cuisine, it's all thanks to Ye Feng's 'promotion' of Chinese food over the years.

Now, the tastes of the entire Hogwarts community have completely deviated from those of others, and have completely aligned themselves with the tastes of Ye Feng or, in other words, the Chinese. Moreover, their palates have become increasingly discerning, and even the dishes made by house-elves are no longer enough to satisfy them.

When the usual dishes are not enough or you get tired of the food from a certain place, there are generally two options.

One simple approach is to simply go somewhere else and try something different if you get tired of what you're eating here.

However, this is Hogwarts, and Hogwarts is a boarding school. More importantly, Hogwarts only has one dining hall, so they only have one option left: to cook for themselves.

However, there is a problem with cooking for themselves: they don't know how, and they don't have the same extensive cooking experience as house-elves. So it's impossible for them to learn by watching a few times, and Ye Feng can't keep teaching house-elves how to cook forever.

As a result, recipes became a necessity at Hogwarts, and thus, Hogwarts incurred an additional expense each year.

Although this expense wasn't a huge amount, it wasn't insignificant either, because they didn't just collect recipes by magically copying them; they negotiated prices and paid before making the copies.

The cookbook in Ye Feng's hand was a revised and reprinted version; otherwise, just having one copy wouldn't be enough, and even if several copies were printed, it might not be enough, for example... right now.

"Senior Ye Feng, could I borrow your Hunan cuisine encyclopedia? I caught a fish in Black Lake today and want to see how to make chopped chili fish head, but all the other books have been borrowed."

The speaker was a cute little girl in first grade with long, golden hair. When she spoke, she looked at Ye Feng with a timid gaze, clearly still somewhat afraid of him.

Seeing that she was a cute junior, Ye Feng nodded and handed her the Hunan cuisine encyclopedia.

Seeing that Ye Feng was so easy to talk to, not at all like the 'terrifying' person in the rumors, the junior schoolgirl became much bolder. After taking the book, she sat down not far from Ye Feng and began searching for what she wanted.

Seeing the cute junior sister like this, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Junior girls are so much better, unlike those senior girls, who are neither ladylike nor gentle at all." Of course, Ye Feng thought to himself, because if he actually dared to say it out loud, probably half an hour later all the girls in Hogwarts would gather to hunt him down.

I don't know if it's because Ye Feng is getting older, his cute little face that used to be a bit chubby has slowly become handsome, and his figure has become taller, or if they know they can't win Ye Feng over and have given up on the idea, but now the senior girls don't like to hug him and stick to him as often as before.

Of course, he'll still occasionally indulge in some tofu, because Ye Feng is now truly slim when dressed but muscular when undressed, with an almost perfect body proportion and muscle definition.

However, this still doesn't change the fact that they've become less 'gentle' and enjoy 'slaying' him. And perhaps because they know him too well and are too familiar with him, these upperclassmen, or female classmates who have studied with him at Hogwarts for more than a year, are quite familiar with him.

"Hey? Little Ye, you're here? I happen to have a magic spell that I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me? I'll treat you to dinner later, or... you can come to my dorm for a bit~" As she spoke, the junior girl, who was a year younger than Ye Feng, winked at him.

Hearing what this pretty junior said, Ye Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

These upperclassmen and underclassmen have gone astray at some point, and they're really wicked now. They all know how to trick him. If they can keep five out of ten promises they make, he'll be incredibly grateful. So, this is probably another case of them luring him to their dorm and then getting him to... tutor them.

So Ye Feng refused without hesitation, because... even if it were true, he wouldn't dare, after all, these people were no pushovers, and he didn't want to suffer from premature ejaculation and then kidney deficiency at such a young age.

Although Ye Feng refused, he still reached out with his right hand and found the magic-related book that the junior wanted to ask about, and handed it to her.

The junior didn't mind Ye Feng's refusal. She took the book and sat down next to him to read. The reason she sat down wasn't because she was eager to solve the problem, but because Ye Feng exuded a faint fragrance.

That faint fragrance not only has a calming effect on the mind, but it can also keep people clear-headed and make their thinking more agile. So whenever Ye Feng appears in the library, it won't be long before he is surrounded by people, and the closer you are to him, the more sought-after the seat is.

About half an hour later, Ye Feng looked around at the people sitting all around him and put down another cookbook in his hand.

"Hmm~ I've chosen my magic, it's time to go back." As he spoke, Ye Feng stood up and stretched. As he stretched, the books in front of him automatically flew back to their original positions.

When the people around saw Ye Feng get up, they could only put down their books, even though they were a little reluctant.

Of course, some people choose to continue reading, because without Ye Feng and the others, the reading experience is just not as good, not that they can't continue reading.

After Ye Feng got up and left, Fu Rong and Krum, who were also sitting in the crowd, exchanged a glance, the shock in their eyes not yet completely gone.

"How about we ask the principal to transfer us? Even starting from first grade again doesn't seem like an impossible situation..." At this moment, similar thoughts popped into Fleur's and Krum's minds.

Of course, these are just thoughts; they would definitely not want to transfer schools in the first place, since their friends are not at Hogwarts and they are about to graduate.

More importantly, they worried that they were 'too bad' and 'too old' for Hogwarts to accept.

Chapter 282 The Triwizard Tournament at Black Lake Arena

Other people's schools may be great, but they're still other people's schools. Despite the envy, life goes on, but Furong's gaze towards Ye Feng held a different meaning.

Since Ye Feng is so amazing, and it seems that all the changes at Hogwarts originated from Ye Feng, then she doesn't need to transfer schools at all, because... she is a girl, while Ye Feng is a boy.

Even if Ye Feng felt that she was older than him, it didn't matter, because she had a younger sister, so there was still a chance.

Even if we can't get them into their school, it's always good to make friends. And if we succeed, it would be a huge win.

So, in the days that followed, the people at Hogwarts noticed that Fleur and her sister, who had captivated all the boys at Hogwarts, often appeared around Ye Feng, and occasionally they could be seen sitting together, chatting with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this, the new students at Hogwarts were quite worried, because they knew that all the changes at Hogwarts were due to Ye Feng. If Ye Feng was kidnapped, they would not be able to achieve the same results as their seniors, which others could not achieve even after many years of graduation.

However, the upperclassmen were not worried at all, unlike the freshmen. If Ye Feng could be so easily 'tricked', he would have been devoured by the upperclassmen and underclassmen over the years.

Given Ye Feng's behavior at school, even if someone else wasn't destined to be single, it would be extremely difficult for them to find a partner. Therefore, they weren't worried at all that Ye Feng would be 'tricked' by Fu Rong and her sister, even though the sisters all possessed Veela blood.

In fact it is.

Although Furong was very beautiful, Ye Feng sensed it the moment she approached him with a certain purpose. So, while he didn't reject Furong, he also didn't try to please her or get closer to her. Instead, he maintained a considerable distance.

They were friendly, just ordinary friends, and he would answer any questions she had. But whenever Furong tried to get closer to him, Ye Feng would decisively distance himself, making it clear to her that they were just ordinary friends, and only ordinary friends.

At first, Furong thought she had a chance, but after two or three times, she realized that Ye Feng was not attracted by her charm and had no interest in her, but she did not want to give up.

Besides the immense benefits Ye Feng himself could bring, Ye Feng was also an exceptionally outstanding person. His talent, appearance, and wealth were rare, if not unique, in the entire magic world.

Therefore, even if it weren't for other reasons, Ye Feng would be the best choice for a partner, and based on this, Fu Rong didn't want to give up so easily.

Furong's behavior broke many hearts, including a certain pair of close friends.

Of course, they were heartbroken but wouldn't do anything, because they knew very well that the gap between them and Ye Feng was too great. Even if Ye Feng didn't have that kind of intention, it would still be difficult for them to snatch someone away from him.

Many people are deeply discouraged when their desired target doesn't even glance at them because they're not good enough. Then, the students of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang witnessed what it means to be "rolled up."

If they can't hope for a goddess, then they can only study hard to become good enough, hoping that the other person will take a second look at them.

Well, that's only a small part of the reason. The main reason is that Hogwarts introduced midterm and final exams, and ranked students based on their grades in each subject and their total score. Moreover, there are substantial rewards for being first in either a subject or the total score.

Now, the midterm exams are approaching, and because of Ye Feng, the average grades at Hogwarts are ridiculously high, and the differences between everyone are not large. So, a difference of just one point can often drop you dozens of places, making it not easy to get the rewards.

Of course, besides exams, the second match of the Triwizard Tournament was also about to begin. Therefore, Harry and his friends were a bit busier than the other participants, because in addition to exams, they also needed to figure out how to find what the competition required them to find in the Black Lake, and under various restrictions.

Time passed slowly, and soon the day arrived for the second match of the three-way battle.

Although today is the day for the second match of the three-way battle, the weather is not cooperating. The sky is overcast and there is no sun, which is not good for the upcoming match, because the dark sky means that the underwater light will be even dimmer.

Of course, this is only one factor; another factor is temperature.

It's not the height of summer now, but rather autumn or winter.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, the temperature isn't very high. Even the Hogwarts students who are used to being trained are wearing cotton-padded clothes, and some who are sensitive to the cold have already wrapped themselves in scarves.

Of course, Ye Feng and his group didn't care much, because their clothes were made of the fur of magical creatures, which was quite warm, and what they were looking for was quite different from the original story.

In the original series, Harry and his friends needed to find several living people, such as Hermione and Fleur's sister. But now it's different; they need to find some inanimate objects, so the weather and water temperature are irrelevant.

As for why they weren't looking for Hermione or Cho Chang... Dumbledore and the others would never say that when they tried to 'kidnap' them last night, they almost capsized because of Ye Feng's defensive magic.

Ultimately, having no other way to secretly take Hermione and the others away, they could only find them and discuss it with them, asking them to retrieve a rather important item belonging to Ye Feng and the other contestants, and then hand it over to the fish-men in the Black Lake for guarding.

However, none of that matters at this moment, because today's competition involves going into the water, which means not wearing ordinary clothes, but wearing clothes that allow for better movement underwater, in other words... swimsuits.
