Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

"Woof! You're not human!"

Amidst the complaints, a flash of white light appeared, and the better-quality zongzi leaves slowly floated down in front of Big Yellow. But before they could land, a gentle force lifted them up and neatly stacked them together. Then, a thin hemp rope automatically tied the stack of zongzi leaves together.

"Let's go, we've picked most of the bamboo leaves here, it's time to move on to the next place." As the bamboo leaves were tied up, a large, glossy black dog emerged from the bushes. Its magical collar flashed and quickly collected the bundle of bamboo leaves. The other large dogs that emerged with it were not surprised, because they had similar things too.

It's just storage equipment. After Ye Feng tinkered with it and shared his joy (and smugness) with his neighbor's little fox, and taught him a few times, they gradually all had it.

Chapter 158 Ye Feng: I'm just an ordinary fisherman.

"A spoonful of grass carp meat, a spoonful of shrimp meat, a spoonful of three-flower fish... cough, a spoonful of aged corn kernels, and some binding agent, and the bait is... wait, I'm planning to use this to trap crabs in a fish trap, not for baiting fish..."

Looking at the bait he had already huddled into a ball, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. However, he still put the large ball of bait back in place and then kneaded another ball of bait.

Since we've already done all that, we might as well go fishing. After all, it takes time to catch the crabs anyway.

Of course, this is the season when crayfish are at their fattest, so Ye Feng set up several crayfish traps. In just half an hour, the fish and shrimp he had caught earlier, which weighed at least two hundred pounds, turned into clumps of bait.

"Okay, the bait is all ready. Let's get started!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng's eyes became serious, and then he flipped his right hand, and a yellow fishing rod appeared in his hand.

"Go away!"

With a flick of Ye Feng's right hand holding the fishing rod, the hook attached to the fishing line seemed to have eyes and directly hooked the baited fish trap. With another forceful flick of Ye Feng's hand, the fish trap, hooked on the fishing line, flew out, but it disappeared into thin air before it flew very far.

At the same moment the fish trap disappeared, a fish trap appeared out of thin air about two meters above a large lake on the other side of the ocean. After it appeared, the fish trap quickly disappeared into the water, but this was only the beginning.

As the set of traps landed, *thud!* Soon, one trap after another appeared and fell into the lake. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, on the shore of the forbidden lake, beads of sweat appeared on Ye Feng's delicate and handsome face.

"Hiss~ It's still a bit strenuous to throw the fish trap over from this distance, even with the help of the fishing rod. Looks like I'll have to eat something good tonight to make up for it."

As Ye Feng was talking to himself, two elderly men, both with serious expressions, were watching the figure on the shore of the Black Lake through a window in Hogwarts Castle that faced the Black Lake.

"Perhaps... we have all underestimated this little guy. His true strength may be enough to easily overturn the entire magic world, and his power may not come from magic at all, but from some special power from the East."

Although Ye Feng concealed his aura, a trace of it still leaked out when he used the fishing rod with all his might. This was because Dumbledore and Grindelwald were both top-tier experts in the magical world, and they hadn't missed their daily morning exercises for the past two years.

Therefore, the two, whose strength was at least half again as great as in the original story, became extremely solemn after Ye Feng revealed a trace of power unique to cultivators, because they discovered that even the slightest leaked aura represented a power that was in no way inferior to theirs.

However, when they saw Ye Feng casting out one fish trap after another, then baiting them and casting the baited hooks into the Black Lake to catch fish, they couldn't help but start to have doubts.

"That aura just now... could it really have come from that little guy Ye Feng? Could it be his fishing rod? That guy treasures his fishing rod so much, even I wouldn't dare touch it."

Grindelwald: enmmm…

"Albus, are you sure?"

Dumbledore: "What...do you mean?"

Greenwald: "I think I've seen that girl named Zhang Qiu fishing with his rod before. Her technique was a bit lacking. She cast three times and landed on the ground twice. One of her casts almost hooked your little heart and threw it into the lake."

Dumbledore: ...

"So, his fishing rod wasn't actually anything special; he just didn't want me to touch it?"

Dumbledore: (「▼皿▼)

Ye Feng: "Don't you even know what kind of fish you're fishing for?"

"I've been baiting the spot for two days, and the fish are swarming there. Even beginners like Hermione and Zhang Qiu can catch fish just by baiting with a weed. But you came back empty-handed using the bait I prepared. How can I let you touch my fishing rod?"

Leaving aside Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Ye Feng leisurely started fishing after setting all the fish traps. As for Dumbledore and the others' gazes, Ye Feng naturally noticed them, but even if they discovered his strength, it didn't matter. Could they possibly expel him because of that?

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and then he sprang up from the recliner and abruptly pulled up the fishing rod in his hand.

"Whoosh~"

"middle!"

"Uuuuuuu~"

The sound of the fishing line cutting through the air as it moved quickly rang out, and the yellow fishing rod in Ye Feng's hand was pulled into an arc shape by the fish at the bottom of the water.

"That strength, that speed of movement, it's definitely a meter-long fish!"

"Haha, tonight's extra meal is sorted!"

Dumbledore and Grindelwald: (?_?)

"We were actually worried for a split second that this guy would turn the entire magical world upside down. Am I out of my mind...?"

Seeing Ye Feng's excitement at having caught a fish, Dumbledore and Grindelwald exchanged a glance before going back to their food and drinks. As for the future of the wizarding world, let Harry and the others worry about that. As for Voldemort, with Ye Feng around, what was there to fear from Voldemort?

Let alone Ye Feng, their current strength is already enough to easily defeat Voldemort at his peak. If this still allows Voldemort to turn the tables and make the prophecy come true, then they might as well just slit their own throats and commit suicide.

Not long after Dumbledore and the others returned, Ye Feng also dragged a large fish, 1.5 meters long, to the surface of the water. Having successfully caught the big fish, Ye Feng was finally satisfied. After putting the big fish in the net, he casually poured the prepared bait into the lake, tidied up a bit, and then carried his catch back to school.

Less than a minute after Ye Feng left, the once calm surface of Black Lake began to boil. If someone were to enter the water at this moment, they would see countless fish desperately scrambling for the bait that Ye Feng had poured out. Every fish that managed to grab the bait would quickly disappear into the deeper water.

Although they lack intelligence, they possess the instinct to become stronger. Ye Feng's bait contains oil from waste liquids that failed in alchemy but were not destroyed. To You Fei, this waste liquid is merely a faintly fragrant substance, excellent for mixing with bait for fishing. However, for the fish in Black Lake, it is an opportunity to become even stronger.

Although it is not as effective as a real elixir, as long as they can eat a bite, their growth rate will be more than twice that of their kind, and their strength and swimming speed will be significantly enhanced.

However, Ye Feng was unaware of all this. He only noticed that there seemed to be more and more large fish in the Black Lake, and that was all.

Meanwhile, a giant squid deep within the Black Lake was also enjoying itself, because there were now more and more large fish in the lake, allowing it to hunt and eat to its heart's content without worrying about eating all the fish in the lake.

Chapter 159 Dumbledore: Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

Ye Feng: (゜-゜) Hmm…

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should have enough bamboo leaves for making zongzi, and we should also have enough crabs and crayfish to eat, but why do I always feel like something is missing?"

As Ye Feng walked into the school carrying the fish, he felt that something was missing from his preparations, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it until he saw the incredibly thick and sturdy willow tree.

Ye Feng: (???)

"I've got it! Dragon boat, it's the dragon boat!"

"How can the Dragon Boat Festival be complete without dragon boat races? So shouldn't I start building dragon boats now? At least one for each academy, right?" Ye Feng murmured, looking up and down at the enormous, man-beating willow tree in front of him.

Hitting Liu: ∑(?Д?) (?Д?)ノ0ДQ

"You...you don't come any closer!"

Ye Feng: (￣┏Д┓￣°*)

Although the willow tree is indeed thick and tall enough that one tree is enough to build four dragon boats, dragon boats are similar to dugout canoes in that they are both relatively long and narrow.

This type of boat requires that the wood used to build the dragon boat be long enough to be spliced ​​together, and also strong enough. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if it broke in the middle after a few strokes and a drift on the water.

Although the size and length of the "Hit-Man Willow" were suitable, its flexibility of 4 was clearly substandard, given that it broke after being hit. So Ye Feng just glanced at it and walked away, which made the "Hit-Man Willow" breathe a sigh of relief.

As a veteran of Hogwarts, the Willow has seen far too many young wizards, but none of them have ever exerted such immense pressure on it as Ye Feng.

Since the "Hit-Man Willow" was unsuitable, Ye Feng had no choice but to search for other suitable timber. However, Ye Feng wasn't worried about not finding any, because Hogwarts was surrounded by dense forests, and the Forbidden Forest was full of towering trees that were tens of meters tall, with a girth of three or four meters and reaching straight to the sky.

Therefore, Ye Feng was not in a hurry at all. He tossed the fish to the house-elves in the kitchen, asking them to leave a piece of the tenderest belly for them to cook before he went back to class.

Yes, although he receives many privileges at school because of his excellent grades in all subjects, he still has to attend classes in person. Of course, if he hadn't been exposed last time for having Little Grey impersonate him to attend class, he could have skipped class altogether.

Little Grey is now quite intelligent, almost like a five or six-year-old child. So as long as it doesn't speak, only people who know it very well can recognize it. It's just a pity that it's not the quiet type. That's why it was exposed the first time it transformed into Little Grey to take its place in class.

But it didn't matter, Hogwarts had plenty of free time, at least they didn't have evening self-study sessions, so after his afternoon classes, Ye Feng went into the Forbidden Forest alone, and did so for two or three days in a row.

Ye Feng's unusual behavior quickly caught the attention of Harry and his friends. Finally, on the fourth day, when Ye Feng was about to leave to continue his journey to the Forbidden Forest after class, he was stopped by Harry and his friends.

"Ye Feng, what's wrong with you these past few days? Why do you run away as soon as class is over and stop studying with us? You don't even eat dinner with us anymore."

“Yeah, if you keep going like this, Hermione is about to call Cho Chang over.”

Ye Feng: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"No...it can't be that bad, can it?"

"How could it not be? Do you know how worried we've been about you these past few days? If Qiu hadn't been worried that you felt she was being too controlling and making you uncomfortable, we would have come to find you long ago."

Ye Feng: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

"Is that so? Well, I didn't expect you to be so worried about me. But don't worry, I've just been looking for some suitable timber to build a dragon boat these past few days, and I've basically found it now."

"But since you're all here, let's go take a look together. Maybe I'll need your advice." With that, Ye Feng turned and walked out, and Harry and the others had no choice but to follow.

A few minutes later…

Ron: (?△?;ノ)ノ

"This...this is what you called a few...pieces of wood?" Ron was startled when he saw the towering tree with a waist diameter of three meters and a height of forty or fifty meters. Hermione and Harry, who had already expected the 'wood' Ye Feng had mentioned, were also shocked when they saw the actual tree.

"Ye Feng, how big is the dragon boat you're talking about?" Even Hermione, who was as bold as she was, couldn't help but swallow hard when she thought about how there were several such 'wood' pieces that Ye Feng mentioned. If each 'wood' piece was this huge, then the dragon boat that was built would definitely be a behemoth.

However, Ye Feng's next words left Hermione and the others speechless.

"It's not very big, only about a meter wide and ten meters long."

Ron: っ?Д?)っ

"How many?"

"It's over a meter wide and about ten meters long. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Gulu~"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, even Hermione and the others, who knew nothing about shipbuilding, couldn't help but swallow hard. They knew that building a ship required assembling many planks together, but Ye Feng actually planned to carve one out of a single log. This was simply a waste of resources!

"Oh, there are countless such large trees in the Forbidden Forest, and many of them have withered and died because they couldn't get enough nutrients? Well, that's alright then."

In the end, Ye Feng selected seven or eight trees that he had examined with magic and found to be of excellent quality. They were definitely not insect-eaten or hollow and were straight trees. He cut them down and brought them back to school. As for logging, wasn't that just a matter of Jian Zhi casually waving his hand?

However, when Ye Feng brought these trees back to school after pruning off the branches, leaving only the trunks and some thicker branches that could be used to make oars, and placed them on the playground, the whole school was in an uproar.

Dumbledore: ε=(?ο｀*))) Sigh

"Ye Feng, what are you planning to do with all these trees you've cut down? If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll punish you for entering the forbidden forest without permission and cutting down trees."

Ye Feng: (????)

“Headmaster Dumbledore, I cut down so many trees to build dragon boats, and each house should have at least one dragon boat.”

Hogwarts members: (o?_o?)?

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Ye Feng explained, "I was thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and I've almost prepared the bamboo leaves for making zongzi and the ingredients for the Dragon Boat Festival feast. But the Dragon Boat Festival can't be held without dragon boats, so I'm thinking of building at least four dragon boats, one for each college, and then we'll hold a dragon boat race on Black Lake."

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, almost everyone's eyes lit up, because they heard the words "delicious food" and "competition." Whenever Ye Feng uttered these two words, it meant that the food was absolutely interesting and delicious. Just hearing them made their eyes gleam and their mouths water.
