The medicinal ingredients required for an apprentice-level fire-attribute antidote were actually quite simple.
The materials for one potion were approximately 10 grams of Yellow Bramble, 10 grams of Clover, 5 grams of Amy Grass, 5 grams of White Snow Flower, and 100 milliliters of Spring of Mana.
These items were already on hand, found among the hundred-plus pounds of herbs Lan Qingyou had purchased.
Two hours later, the two pots of Mana Potions on the side were completed.
Another six hours passed, and the pale yellow antidote was finished.
After tossing a bottle of the antidote to the other party, Lan Qingyou finally had time to rest.
Lan Qingyou: "How are the effects?"
Li Huai: "The toxin has been neutralized. I've just used a Healing Potion, but I still need to rest for a while."
Lan Qingyou: "That's good then."
Although this was a world of magic, there were still distinctions between different types of injuries.
A Healing Potion could restore health points and instantly heal external wounds, but it could not immediately recover lost blood or mend the damage from mental attacks.
Those required the body's natural recovery processes.
Aah—
Lan Qingyou let out a yawn. Having received the user feedback, she intended to take a bath and head to bed.
"Chirp... chirp..."
Just as Lan Qingyou finished her bath and stepped out, she heard a sound 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 night of rest and two Healing Potions, the chick had fully recovered its health. Its gray-white down looked incredibly fluffy, making it look like a little ball of steel wool.
"Oh, so you're back to life."
Seeing Lan Qingyou's arrival, the chick stared blankly for a moment before getting up from the towel and wobbling toward her.
Seeing this, Lan Qingyou reached out, picked the chick up, and pressed it against the small screen.
Since the small screen could identify the carcass of the Volcanic Worm earlier, could it identify this chick?
If it could, she naturally wanted to see what species of magic creature this was.
Otherwise, what if she raised an ungrateful wretch that ended up biting her later?
"Chirp..."
The chick, held down by fate, struggled against the small screen.
But Lan Qingyou remained indifferent.
【Aurora Snowy Owl】
【Racial Talent: Aurora (B)】
【Skills: Not yet awakened】
【Description: The Aurora Snowy Owl is a nocturnal magic creature capable of extreme flight speeds. They can survive anywhere in the world and are highly adaptable raptors of the night sky. Unfortunately, this is merely an Aurora Snowy Owl fledgling, several months away from adulthood.】
Even a snowy owl's talent is stronger than mine?
Looking at the chick's identification results, Lan Qingyou suddenly felt the malice of the world.
"I didn't expect a little ball of steel wool like you to have a B-grade talent. Come to think of it, a snowy owl is basically a type of owl, right?"
Lan Qingyou thought back and remembered a movie she had seen, which featured an owl named Hedwig.
However, looking at this fellow that resembled a ball of steel wool, it was hard to associate it with that bird with mottled white and gray feathers.
It was probably because it was still in its fledgling state.
Regardless, there was likely no point in comparing magic creatures of Planet Karim with the owls of Blue Star.
Now, Lan Qingyou was in a bit of a dilemma.
She had originally wanted something to test her potions on, but she had ended up saving a 'raptor of the night sky.'
Should she throw it away?
She began to seriously consider this question.
After all, to her, this magic creature was an unstable factor.
It might look harmless now as a baby, but there was no telling what it would be like once it reached adulthood.
"Chirp..."
The Aurora Snowy Owl pressed against the small screen had somehow flipped over and was now rubbing its face against the webbing of Lan Qingyou's thumb.
Oh, it turned out its head could rotate a full hundred and eighty degrees.
"Hmph! Don't think acting cute will make me let down my guard."
Lan Qingyou gave a cold snort, then opened her friend list and found Gu Xiaobei.
Lan Qingyou: "I need a plate of raw shredded warg meat."
Gu Xiaobei: "Didn't you just eat some earlier?"
Lan Qingyou: "Feeding a small animal."
Gu Xiaobei: "Oh."
Before long, Gu Xiaobei sent over a plate of about half a pound of shredded warg meat.
Because she heard it was for feeding a small animal, Gu Xiaobei had shredded it quite finely.
Lan Qingyou placed the snowy owl in the plate to let it eat on its own.
After seeing such a large plate of food, the little snowy owl chirped a few times at Lan Qingyou and then did nothing.
"Hey! Do you expect me to feed you!"
Seeing the little snowy owl staring at her with its 'wise' eyes, Lan Qingyou somehow produced a pair of chopsticks made from peeled, slightly damp branches and began to feed it the meat, strip by strip.
Don't misunderstand; she had made these chopsticks to use herself.
It was just a coincidence that they could be used for this right now.
Alright, I can't keep up the act.
In truth, Lan Qingyou had previously planned to dig for earthworms, as she was quite experienced in raising chickens.
She had raised one as a child, bought for five yuan at the school gate—one of those brightly dyed little chicks.
However, it eventually grew up and then died.
But now, knowing that this 'ground-walking chicken' was actually a 'flying owl,' there was a moment when she didn't want to raise it.
But then she thought about how this fellow could fly. If it grew up and could carry her while she used her weight-reduction magic, wouldn't travel be much more convenient?
So, with that mindset, she decided to raise it for a while and see.
It was only a few months, anyway.
She believed that whether it was a magic creature or a regular animal, the probability of it being an ungrateful wretch was definitely lower than that of a human.
If it really turned out that way, she could just give it to Gu Xiaobei to turn into a dish.
It was too small; the meat strips were cut so finely that the little snowy owl could swallow a whole chopstick-full in one gulp.
Lan Qingyou had no choice but to feed it one mouthful at a time.
Next time, she should probably ask for meat slices instead.
While feeding the little snowy owl, Lan Qingyou searched the exchange to see if she could find the book 《Magic Creature Lore》.
Compared to her own wild guesses, the knowledge of the locals would surely be more reliable.
However, a search yielded nothing.
Ultimately, Lan Qingyou could only post a trade request.
After drafting a post to trade 10 bottles of +50 Mana Potions for 《Magic Creature Lore》, the little snowy owl finished off the entire plate of meat.
"Heh, I couldn't tell you had such a large capacity for such a small size. You actually finished the whole half-pound."
Lan Qingyou smiled, not knowing much about a snowy owl's appetite.
She then stood up to head upstairs to sleep.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
Seeing Lan Qingyou about to leave, the little snowy owl chirped incessantly and even nipped at her finger with its beak.
Its short little legs fluttered non-stop, as if it were trying to hop onto Lan Qingyou's hand.
"Um, I guess that means you want to stay with me?"
Lan Qingyou, who didn't understand owl-speak very well, made a guess and held out her hand for the snowy owl to hop onto.
After that, she took the towel she had originally used as a pad for the little snowy owl and went upstairs.
After spreading it out on the bookcase, it became the owl's new nest.
