Aurora Snowy Owl

The ingredients required for an Apprentice Grade Fire Element antidote are actually very simple.

A single vial of the potion requires approximately 10 grams of Yellow Thorn, 10 grams of Clover, 5 grams of Aimi Grass, 5 grams of White Snowflake, and 100 milliliters of Spring of Magic.

These items were all readily available, found within the hundred-plus pounds of herbs that Lan Qingyou had purchased.

Two hours later, the two pots of Mana Potion nearby were finished.

Six hours after that, the pale yellow antidote was completed.

After tossing one vial of the antidote to the other person, Lan Qingyou finally had time to rest.

Lan Qingyou: "How are the effects?"

Li Huai: "The toxins have been neutralized. I just used a Healing Potion, but I still need to rest for a while."

Lan Qingyou: "That's good."

Although this is a world of magic, there are still differences between types of injuries.

A Healing Potion can restore health points and instantly treat external wounds, but lost blood or damage from mental attacks cannot be recovered immediately.

These things require the human body to recover on its own.

Aha—

Lan Qingyou let out a yawn; after receiving the user feedback, she planned to take a bath and head to bed.

"Cheep... cheep..."

Just as Lan Qingyou came out after her bath, she heard sounds like a small chick coming from inside the room.

Only then did she remember the little chick she had saved earlier.

Floating over, she saw the chick fluttering about on a towel.

After a day and a night of rest and the treatment of two Healing Potions, the chick had fully recovered. Its grayish-white down looked fluffy, resembling a piece of Steel Wool.

"Oh, so you've come back to life."

Seeing Lan Qingyou approach, the chick stared blankly for a moment, then got up from the towel and waddled unsteadily toward her.

Seeing this, Lan Qingyou reached out, picked up the chick, and pressed it against the Small Screen.

Since the Small Screen could identify the corpse of a Volcano Worm, could it also identify this chick?

If it could, she naturally wanted to see what species of magical beast this was.

Otherwise, if she ended up raising an ingrate that would turn around and bite her, that would be a disaster.

"Cheep..."

Held by fate, the chick struggled against the Small Screen.

But Lan Qingyou turned a deaf ear.

[Racial Talent: Aurora (B)]

[Skill: Unawakened]

[Introduction: Aurora Snowy Owl, a nocturnal magical beast with extremely fast flight speed. They can survive anywhere in the world and are highly adaptable nocturnal raptors. Unfortunately, this is merely an Aurora Snowy Owl chick, still several months away from adulthood.]

An owl's talent is even stronger than mine?

Looking at the identification results for the chick, Lan Qingyou suddenly felt the malice of the world.

"I didn't expect a piece of Steel Wool like you to actually have a B-grade talent. Come to think of it, a snowy owl is just a type of owl, right?"

Lan Qingyou recalled a movie she had watched back in the day, which featured an owl named Hedwig.

However, no matter how she looked at this Steel Wool-like creature, she couldn't connect it to that bird with white and gray feathers.

Perhaps it was just because it was still in its juvenile form.

But there didn't seem to be any possibility of comparing the magical beasts of the Karim Continent to the owls of Blue Star.

Now, Lan Qingyou was in a bit of a dilemma.

She had originally wanted a test subject for her potions, but she had ended up saving a 'nocturnal raptor' instead.

Should she throw it away?

She began to seriously consider this question.

After all, to her, this magical beast was an unstable variable.

It was hard to tell with a baby, but who could say what would happen once it reached adulthood?

"Cheep..."

The Aurora Snowy Owl, pressed against the Small Screen, had flipped over at some point and was now rubbing its face against the crook of Lan Qingyou's thumb.

Oh, so it had turned its head one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Hmph! Don't think that acting cute will make me lower my guard."

Lan Qingyou let out a cold snort, then opened her friends list and found Gu Xiaobei.

Lan Qingyou: "I need a plate of raw shredded wolf meat."

Gu Xiaobei: "Didn't you just eat some earlier?"

Lan Qingyou: "Feeding a little animal."

Gu Xiaobei: "Oh."

Not long after, Gu Xiaobei delivered a plate containing about half a jin of shredded wolf meat.

Because she heard it was for feeding a little animal, Gu Xiaobei had sliced it quite thinly.

Lan Qingyou placed the Little Snow Owl onto the plate and let it eat by itself.

Upon seeing such a large plate of food, the Little Snow Owl chirped at Lan Qingyou twice and then went silent.

"Hey! Do you still want me to feed you?!"

Looking at the wise expression in the Little Snow Owl's eyes as it stared at her, Lan Qingyou pulled out two peeled, slightly damp twigs she had fashioned into chopsticks from somewhere, then picked up the meat shreds to feed it one by one.

Don't get the wrong idea; these chopsticks were something Lan Qingyou had made to wipe her own mouth.

It just so happened that they were useful right now.

Fine, I can't keep making this up.

In reality, Lan Qingyou had originally planned to go dig for Earthworm, as she was quite experienced in raising chickens.

She had raised one when she was a child, bought for five yuan right at the school gate—the kind of red and green dyed chicks.

It just grew up, and then it died.

But now, knowing that this "free-range chicken" was actually a Flying Owl, she had a moment where she didn't want to raise it.

However, thinking that this guy could fly, wouldn't it be more convenient if it grew up and could carry her—since she was trying to lose weight—through the air?

So, holding onto that sentiment, she decided to raise it for a while to see how it went.

It was only going to be for a few months anyway.

She believed that whether it was a monster or an animal, the probability of it being an ingrate was definitely lower than that of a human.

If she really did encounter one, she could only give it to Gu Xiaobei to turn into a dish.

It was too small; the meat shreds were cut too thin, and the Little Snow Owl could swallow a whole chopstick's worth in one bite.

Lan Qingyou had no choice but to feed it one chopstick at a time.

Perhaps she should ask for meat slices next time.

While feeding the Little Snow Owl, Lan Qingyou searched the Trading Post to see if she could find the book Monster Studies.

Compared to sitting here and letting her imagination run wild, the knowledge possessed by the locals was definitely more reliable.

As it turned out, she searched the whole thing and found nothing.

In the end, Lan Qingyou had no choice but to post a trade request.

After editing a trade offer of 10 bottles of +50 Mana Potion in exchange for Monster Studies, the Little Snow Owl finished eating the entire plate of meat clean.

"Hey, I couldn't tell you were such a bottomless pit for your size; you finished off half a jin."

Not knowing the appetite of a snow owl, Lan Qingyou chuckled.

She then stood up, preparing to go upstairs to sleep.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Seeing that Lan Qingyou was about to leave, the Little Snow Owl chirped incessantly, even using its beak to nip at Lan Qingyou's finger.

Its short little legs flailed about, as if it wanted to jump onto Lan Qingyou's hand.

"Hmm, I suppose that means it wants to be with me?"

Not really understanding "snow owl language," Lan Qingyou made a guess, then spread out her hand to let the owl jump on.

Afterward, she took the towel that had originally served as a cushion for the Little Snow Owl and went upstairs.

After laying it out again on the Bookshelf, this place became its nest.
