Chapter 774 Biluo Mountain
The collection of rare and precious materials is progressing steadily, and the research and development of the new project is proceeding smoothly.
Ye Kang felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, and his mood improved greatly. He immediately sped up and rushed back to the academy.
Upon entering the academy, he went straight to the head of the academy's office and apologized.
The incident happened suddenly. I had only asked Gao Fan and others to help me apply for seven days of leave, and this was one day over. It wouldn't be right not to beg for forgiveness.
Sure enough, upon seeing Ye Kang, Su Hongxiu's expression was nothing short of ugly.
"So you still know to come back? Skipping classes without reason, showing contempt for the academy, falling behind in your studies for so many days, do you think it's over just because someone asked for leave?"
Ye Kang knew something was wrong, and cold sweat had already seeped out of his brow.
There's nothing I can do about it; it's definitely my own fault. Who told the system to not consider the timing when assigning tasks, thus making me an enemy of the top student?
He could only bow his body to a ninety-degree angle and say with utmost sincerity, "This student knows his mistake and begs the headmaster to punish him."
"Of course you should be punished! If everyone were as disorganized and undisciplined as you, how could this academy possibly function!"
Su Hongxiu roared angrily.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Ye Kang didn't argue, but simply lowered his head even further, at least to put on a show of begging for mercy.
Sure enough, Su Hongxiu had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only snort coldly: "You scoundrel, you really care about the world. You went to Lingyun Town without hesitation. I heard from that brat Wuxiang that you even set up an array to block a fox demon with the cultivation of the Nine Luminaries. They want to recommend you for credit. Hehe, do you think you're quite proud of yourself?"
“Students don’t dare!”
"I see you're really something! You're infuriating! You little brat, trying to act like a hero! If I don't punish you, I'll be a useless headmaster! From now on, you'll be feeding the ferocious beasts on Biluo Mountain every night for three months!"
"Yes."
Ye Kang didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed.
He knew Biluo Mountain; it was the most remote mountain within the academy's territory, steep and secluded, specifically used to raise ferocious beasts.
Because there is only one large mountain, the ferocious beasts inside cannot find food and will devour each other. To prevent this from happening, the academy sends special people to feed the beasts.
There's a technique to feeding them; you can't just throw flesh and blood onto the mountain. Instead, you have to use live ferocious beasts to maintain the ferocity of the beasts in Biluo Mountain.
These ferocious beasts have many uses once they are raised.
Firstly, they can be used as pets by students in the Beast Academy; secondly, they can be sent to the arena to train students' ability to fight against ferocious beasts.
Of these three items, some are quite valuable and can be sold, providing the academy with a small source of income.
Therefore, feeding is a notoriously difficult job.
It's usually retired teachers who are in charge; if students go, it's pure punishment.
It's like sweeping the mountain gate; it's useless, but it's time-consuming and laborious.
But who told Ye Kang to go too far this time, and to use the academy's name while taking huge risks? No matter what, he deserves to be punished.
Although it would waste his evening, Ye Kang had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that he was relatively well-behaved, Su Hongxiu's anger subsided a bit, and she waved him away.
Ye Kang respectfully left, naturally going first to the Martial Academy to continue practicing combat techniques. After the Martial Academy session, he went to the Array Academy and audited two classes.
It was nighttime, so Ye Kang went to the cafeteria and bought a lot of meat. He ate a big meal to replenish his energy, and then quickly headed to Biluo Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain lies a sprawling bamboo grove, which is the residence of the person in charge of Biluo Mountain.
Several retired teachers live inside; they are all martial artists whose natural talents are limited and who will never make any further progress in their lives.
Among them were martial artists of the Nine Luminaries Realm and mysterious experts at the Nirvana Realm; they were all old men, each with a kind and benevolent face.
They also received the news and naturally cooperated with Su Hongxiu.
However, perhaps because they were old, their tempers had become much milder. When they saw Ye Kang, these seniors all looked quite kind and gentle.
An old man in the Nirvana Realm chuckled and said, "It's not common to see students punished by being sent to our Biluo Mountain to be fed. There are usually only one or two a year, and you are the first one this year."
Another old woman laughed and said, "That's right, and this punishment lasts for three months. Have you broken some heavenly law, kid?"
Ye Kang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and could only cup his hands and say, "Thank you for your trouble, seniors. I know nothing about this and need your guidance."
The old man waved his hand: "Of course I will teach you, so that you don't get the rules wrong and delay feeding. Let me tell you the details of this mountain first."
He paused, then turned and said, "There are currently eleven ferocious beasts in Biluo Mountain, all of which are at the Star Luo Realm level. Each of them occupies a cave. Nine of them are at the ordinary Star Luo Realm level, and the other two are at the peak of the Star Luo Realm. We must be extra careful when feeding them."
"But we need to guard against ferocious beasts attacking people?"
"No, that's not it. We need to feed it to the other ferocious beasts when you two aren't looking, so that those two greedy bastards won't come and snatch it away," the old woman interjected, explaining.
Ye Kang was speechless. Good heavens, he couldn't just feed them anywhere, and he had to avoid those two big guys. It was really troublesome.
"It is a bit troublesome, but there is no other way. After all, these ferocious beasts are all born rare species and are very precious. We usually take good care of them. It's good that you're here, so we can rest for three months."
The old man laughed heartily, then pointed to the back of the bamboo garden: "Those raised in there are two-winged demonic pigs used for feeding. They have a high fertility rate, so there's no need to worry about them being eaten. We'll take care of the two-winged demonic pigs, so you don't need to worry about them. Just take good care of the eleven ferocious beasts in the mountains."
As they spoke, the old men led Ye Kang to the bamboo garden. A foul stench wafted over, and Ye Kang unconsciously frowned.
Upon entering, wow, it was a pig farm!
The so-called Twin-Winged Demon Pigs are a group of large black pigs with fleshy wings that look like they can fly, but in reality they can only flap their wings for a maximum of ten meters.
The old man said proudly, "Don't underestimate these demon pigs. They are a breed cultivated and bred by the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Imperial Court over many years. Their meat is incredibly delicious and full of spiritual energy. Eating them is very beneficial to cultivation. Not only do ferocious beasts love to eat them, but they are also a good meat dish on the tables of martial artists."
Ye Kang nodded, noticing that the meat on these winged demon pigs was indeed different from that of ordinary pigs.
He walked further in and found a group of piglets running around.
Suddenly, an idea came to mind.
With such a fine breed of meat, why not bring it to the Jade Realm and let our people raise it too?
After all, it's a variety carefully selected by the imperial court, so it can't be bad!
He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "May I ask you, esteemed teachers, how should these two-winged demonic pigs be bred?"
The old man smiled confidently: "All you need is one female pig and a few male pigs. They can have twenty piglets in one litter, and they can have a litter every six months. The piglets will reach adulthood in three months and can reproduce again."
Good guy!
This is a fusion of rat genes! They're incredibly prolific!
He tentatively asked, "These piglets, I wonder if the students could buy a few?"
