On the Training Field, Mu Feng and his classmates stood in a circle, watching the teacher at the center.
A half-meter-tall iron cage stood to the teacher's left. Inside was a jade-green creature resembling a pig, its most distinctive feature being a small jade-green vine growing from its back.
According to the Spiritual Beast Bestiary, this pig-like creature was called a "Spiritual Turnip Pig."
Although it was a spirit beast, the Spiritual Turnip Pig was one of the lowest-ranking species among spirit beasts.
Its primary use was as food. It was highly fertile, capable of producing twelve to forty-eight offspring at a time, and would be abandoned after four generations of breeding.
Mu Feng was very familiar with Spiritual Turnip Pigs.
His father ran a Spirit Food Restaurant in Star City, and Spiritual Turnip Pig was one of its main ingredients.
Compared with other spirit foods, Spiritual Turnip Pig was relatively inexpensive and had delicious meat, making it a delicacy far superior to ordinary meat.
Long-term consumption of Spiritual Turnip Pig could nourish the body, strengthen one's physique, and even extend one's lifespan to a certain extent.
His father bought around ten of these Spiritual Turnip Pigs from the Spirit Beast Breeding Management Department every month, slaughtering roughly one every three days.
The teacher stood beside the iron cage, pointing at the Spiritual Turnip Pig inside as he introduced it.
He covered everything from its dietary habits and feed-to-meat ratio to changes in its vital signs and its adaptability to different environments.
