Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Hearing the screams coming from outside the window, Dumbledore glanced at the tea that Grindelwald had prepared and placed in front of him, brought it to his nose, took a deep breath of the fragrant tea, and revealed a serene smile.

“Good tea~”

Half an hour later, a large group of students, wands in hand, were angrily searching for something throughout Hogwarts. Unfortunately, someone seemed to have already guessed this, so he didn't even go to eat breakfast.

"Damn it! Where did this guy get so many magical plants? And these plants are not only extremely well-hidden, but their magic resistance is also ridiculously high!"

"Where else could he get it? Don't forget, that guy could easily grow extraordinary mandrakes in his first year, and now he's a fourth-year student..."

The moment those words were spoken, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Yes, Ye Feng is already in fourth grade, which means he has been learning various kinds of knowledge at Hogwarts for more than three years. In other words, he can now easily come up with even more outrageous things than before.

"No, why are you all so shocked? Isn't this the truth? Don't forget the previous battle..."

"Gulu~"

Upon hearing this, everyone except the first-year students swallowed hard.

It's not that they've truly forgotten that giant octopus, but rather that it was simply too outrageous, and the memory it left on them was so profound that they instinctively didn't want to recall it.

Therefore, they would instinctively ignore these things when they were talked about, but now that someone has suddenly brought them up, they have been reminded of the fear of being dominated by the giant octopus that day.

"So, he can now create things even more terrifying than a giant octopus?"

"Brush~"

Almost immediately after those words were spoken, everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken. If looks could be used to inflict harm, that person would have been riddled with holes by now.

They didn't know about this? No, they actually knew very well, but that's precisely why they were unwilling to mention it.

Escaping may be shameful, but it's really effective.

However, someone brought this matter out into the open today, which is practically reopening their wounds.

However, they did not do anything to that student because they were all 'victims'. Since they were all victims, why should victims make things difficult for each other?

Of course, that classmate also gave them a heads-up.

Ye Feng, a first-grader, was already able to create such amazing things. Now that he's a fourth-grader, it's impossible for him to create something that's just a small potted plant, even if that potted plant is already quite impressive.

Their idea proved to be correct, because as they walked through Hogwarts in search of Leafwind, a seemingly ordinary plant by the roadside would suddenly attack them.

If that's all they're capable of, they can still handle it, because such a surprise attack is only most effective the first time. After that, once they're on guard, it becomes very difficult to harm them again; at most, it can only cause them a little trouble.

However, these plants once again confirmed their previous guesses: what Ye Feng had created had been upgraded.

When they thought that as long as they put on shields and affix various talismans, they could prevent surprise attacks and easily deal with them, these plants showed them what it meant to be able to inflict mental damage on them even if they couldn't cause them physical harm.

Yes, after being shielded and affixed with talismans, these plants are indeed unable to harm them, but they can trap them, and this kind of restraint is not an ordinary restraint.

Once bound by those vines, they cannot break free even with talismans like the Vajra Talisman, and even talismans like the Wall-Passing Talisman become ineffective.

Of course, that's not the worst part, because if it's a vine, at least you're just tied up. What's truly unbearable is the flower-like ones.

These flowering plants attack directly with their flowers, much like the carnivorous plants in many games and movies, which will swallow people whole.

Although these plants came from the fairy field and didn't have that disgusting slime or anything, being tightly wrapped up, losing sight, and even being unable to breathe was still a terrifying thing, even if their teammates could rescue them quickly.

As a result, the students at Hogwarts became much more cautious when searching for Ye Feng. While they weren't exactly paranoid, they also dared not get too close to the plants on campus.

The students of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry finally experienced Ye's 'surprise' firsthand, and they finally understood why Hogwarts students had such rich combat experience.

Damn it, how could someone who lives in a place like this all day not have a wealth of combat experience?

Even in the magical world, roadside grass won't suddenly attack you, nor will a vegetable leaf suddenly grow larger and slap you to the ground when you pick it up while eating.

In short, the students of both Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry truly experienced what 'surprise' means today, which made them deeply admire the students of Hogwarts.

Of course, they were even more grateful to Ye Feng for his 'leniency' during this period.

So, when Ye Feng went to class the next day, he found that whenever students from both Beauxbatons Magic and Durmstrang saw him, they would give him incredibly bright smiles.

Ye Feng: [?_??]

"Did I... do something good that I don't even know I did?"

301 Two Demons Clash

"Seeing enemies everywhere" is sometimes an adjective, but sometimes it can be a fact.

Because Ye Feng was making room for his personal immortal field, Hogwarts is now not just a metaphor for being on high alert, but a fact, because the plants and trees in Hogwarts can actually attack people.

Fortunately, there weren't many of these plants, and they were able to identify them all in just two or three days. They also gradually figured out the habits of these plants and determined a safe distance.

Even though these plants don't have the characteristic of actively attacking, they won't attack as long as people or animals from Hogwarts don't enter their warning range.

Therefore, after learning these things, no one was attacked again. More importantly, some people discovered that these magical plants actually had great benefits.

For example, Ron discovered after being attacked by a cabbage that its leaves were crisper and more delicious than usual, so he ended up moving it directly to the vegetable garden at Hogwarts.

...

The 'plant plague' at Hogwarts has been eliminated, but Lucius and his friends' troubles are just beginning.

In fact, Voldemort didn't need all of his father's bones to be resurrected; just one skeleton would suffice. Therefore, they didn't need to steal all of Voldemort's father's remains.

Since Voldemort didn't need all the remains, he wouldn't take it too seriously, which was Lucius and Voldemort 2.0's opportunity, so they came up with a good plan.

What does Voldemort want most at this stage? It's Harry's blood, of course. If he gets Harry's blood, he can be perfectly resurrected and will never have to worry about Harry's mother using her life to cast a spell on Harry again.

Therefore, if Voldemort had the chance to obtain Harry's blood now, he would definitely take it very seriously.

Of course, if obtaining this blood were too easy, Voldemort might not personally intervene but instead send out Death Eaters, so they need to find the right balance.

Therefore, Lucius discussed it with Voldemort II, and they eventually decided to set a trap.

The Death Eaters are subordinates of the Dark Lord. Voldemort is the Dark Lord, and Voldemort II is also the Dark Lord. In other words, the Death Eaters are also his subordinates.

So Voldemort II discussed it with Lucius, and they first had someone secretly spread the word in the wizarding world that they had discovered the second volume of the magical book that could enhance magic.

The news caused another uproar in the entire magic world. Even Ye Feng was surprised when he heard the news, because the book was written by him, but he was certain that he had not allowed the second volume to be circulated.

"Wait, I don't think I mentioned there would be a second volume!"

"So, did they figure this out themselves? Or is someone using this information to fish for information? Interesting, very interesting."

Although he found the news interesting, Ye Feng didn't pay much attention to it, because whether the news about the second volume was true or not didn't affect him, since it was originally with him.

However, Ye Feng was clearly wrong this time. This matter did not have no impact on him; on the contrary, it had a great impact on him, because the news was released by Voldemort II and Lucius.

He released Voldemort II simply to put some pressure on Voldemort in this world, and at the same time to see if this Voldemort II, which he had already studied, could bring some surprises to his mundane life.

It is now clear that Ye Feng underestimated Voldemort II, or rather, his own ability to cause trouble.

The 'modifications' of Voldemort II might have been simple for him, but in the entire Harry Potter world, they were absolutely top-notch, especially since he had given Voldemort II to Lucius.

Don't underestimate Lucius just because he's nothing compared to him; Lucius is a big shot in the wizarding world.

Although this guy eventually died, he was no ordinary person who could rise to power over Voldemort after he was killed by Harry's arrow, and who could survive for so long after Voldemort's resurrection.

Therefore, after discussing with Lucius, Voldemort II orchestrated a major event for the entire wizarding world by forging a second volume of the Magic Cultivation Method.

If it were just a piece of news, even if Lucius had considerable influence in the magical world, he definitely wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. But what's remarkable is that after studying the magic cultivation method that Ye Feng gave them, they forged the second volume.

Although Ye Feng could easily tell that the second volume was utter nonsense with just a glance, others didn't have his level of understanding. Besides, the second volume did contain some genuine content, so even Voldemort couldn't distinguish the truth from the falsehood after a short time.

So when some of its contents were leaked out, the entire magical world was in an uproar once again, and many people began searching the world for that magical book.

Voldemort, as the Dark Lord, naturally wouldn't miss this news. He paid close attention to it the moment it broke, and after obtaining the few leaked fragments, he became even more determined to get his hands on it.

Although it cannot be confirmed that it is real, judging from what has been circulated, the book is definitely connected to the one in his possession in some way, and that is enough.

Therefore, after confirming this news, Voldemort immediately sent out his subordinates, which was exactly what Voldemort Number Two wanted.

Therefore, while others searched the entire magical world and found nothing, the Death Eaters sent by Voldemort easily found an important message.

"What did you say? The Ministry of Magic took the second volume of that book?"

"Yes, my most respected master, this is the information I obtained through interrogation using truth serum."

Upon hearing that his subordinate had used Truth Potion, Voldemort's doubts were immediately dispelled, because once someone drinks Truth Potion, they cannot lie, a fact that even he himself could not avoid.

"This is a bit tricky. Although those people in the Ministry of Magic are useless, they're not so easy to get into."

Although Voldemort had obtained the exact location of the book, he was in a bit of a predicament, because the Ministry of Magic was not a place that ordinary Death Eaters could enter, let alone retrieve what he wanted from the Ministry.

"Looks like I'll have to go myself."

If it were the Voldemort from the original series, he definitely wouldn't have such thoughts, because the Voldemort from the original series is now a weakling who could be easily crushed by any ordinary person.

But things are different now. He has mastered a magical cultivation method that makes him no weaker than Voldemort at his peak. So, although he is worried about alerting Voldemort, he has no choice but to go himself in order to get what he wants.

As for whether this was a trap, Voldemort had considered it but wasn't worried, because he believed that with his current strength he might not be able to defeat Dumbledore at Hogwarts, but Dumbledore definitely wouldn't be able to keep him.

With such strength as his foundation, Voldemort naturally had nothing to worry about, so he went straight to the Ministry of Magic without a care in the world.

Unfortunately, Voldemort did not realize that although it was indeed a trap, the target was not him, but his father's remains.

302's house was robbed and they're still laughing?

Voldemort is a taboo in the wizarding world, a taboo whose name cannot even be spoken directly, which shows his infamous reputation.

However, he has been missing for more than a decade, so although his name is still taboo for most people, as if mentioning his name would bring misfortune, many people have actually gradually forgotten about him.

Of course, there are also those who haven't forgotten about it but still don't take it seriously, but those are ultimately just exceptions, although there are more than a hundred million such exceptions at Hogwarts.

But exceptions are exceptions after all. Even though he was a lot at Hogwarts, he was still a very rare case elsewhere.

Therefore, when Voldemort's small figure quietly appeared in the Ministry of Magic, the temperature in the entire Ministry seemed to drop several degrees.

Of course, since he had not been fully resurrected, Voldemort was still keeping a low profile, so he put on an invisibility charm as soon as he entered the Ministry of Magic.

If it were Hogwarts, trying to sneak in with an invisibility charm would be a pipe dream.

At Hogwarts, even first-year students are already very familiar with talismans, and they come into contact with invisibility talismans almost every day.

Therefore, even without any talismans or magic to detect or counter the invisibility talisman, 90% of Hogwarts students can detect something amiss when they encounter someone using the invisibility talisman alone.

For seasoned veterans like Harry, Ron, or the Twins, simply using an invisibility charm is essentially the same as not using one at all. Therefore, Hogwarts students nowadays almost always use a combination of charms.

However, the Ministry of Magic doesn't have that many cheap talismans for them to practice with, nor do they have that many 'real-world' opportunities. So their use of talismans is basically still at the stage of using them one at a time, and they don't have any concept of things like counters.

Therefore, Voldemort could simply put on an invisibility charm and stroll around the Ministry of Magic as if he were in his own home, without anyone noticing anything unusual.
