"It’s so adorable, so cute; I just want to hold it!" Wang Jin exclaimed excitedly.

"It’s amazing that it’s this big right after hatching, and its eyes are already open," Su Yan said enviously.

Lu Ke gently held the little creature, her eyes narrowing with joy, as she said, "When it just hatched, its eyes weren’t open yet, and then it gnawed at its eggshell. After eating the eggshell, it opened its eyes and was able to stand up."

Cheng Jie looked at the little creature in Lu Ke’s hands and teased, "Keke, have you given it a name yet? Hopefully, it’s not another strange one."

Lu Ke quickly replied, "White Feather. When I first saw it, I noticed its white feathers, and the name just came to me."

After she spoke, Lu Ke stuck out her tongue, acknowledging that some of the names she’d come up with before were indeed quite arbitrary.

"White Feather, not bad. Xu Yi’s one is called Lightning," Wang Jin mentioned and then glanced at Lightning sitting quietly by Lu Ke’s feet.

"Huh, isn’t Lightning the name of that bird?" Lu Ke asked, puzzled, as she glanced at ’Lightning’ by her feet.

"It ate that one, so Xu Yi gave the name to it instead," Liu Li explained.

Only then did Lu Ke understand why it was called Lightning.

After watching for a bit, everyone left.

Anyway, they couldn’t hold it yet. After a few days, once White Feather got used to Lu Ke’s scent and Xu Yi finished taming it, they would be able to hold it. It would be more fun to play with White Feather then.

A while later, Xu Yi brought fish soup and fish meat to Lu Ke for her to feed White Feather.

Although White Feather had just hatched, its appetite was sizeable.

White Feather was now about the size of a three or four-month-old kitten, so Xu Yi used his taming skills on it.

Xu Yi found that taming the cubs of fierce beasts was relatively easy.

After using taming skills a dozen times, Xu Yi had successfully tamed it.

After taming White Feather, Xu Yi didn’t interact much with it. Since it had just hatched, Xu Yi preferred for Lu Ke to have more alone time with White Feather.

Therefore, after the taming, Xu Yi left the tent and practiced by the campfire outside.

Lightning lay quietly next to Xu Yi. It didn’t pay much attention to White Feather, just licked White Feather’s head with its tongue and didn’t have much further interaction.

Comparatively, Lightning preferred staying by Xu Yi’s side.

Because its wings were covered in scales and not feathers, it didn’t really seem like a flying fierce beast when it didn’t spread its wings.

Lightning was rather obedient and didn’t bully the Black Qilin, even as it gnawed on a large fish weighing twenty to thirty pounds.

Since Lightning was a level 3 fierce beast, the Black Qilin was quite afraid of it.

If they could, they wished Lightning would leave soon.

Of course, that was unlikely to happen.

After all, Xu Yi had already equipped Lightning with a Star Chart. With it, Lightning could be teleported to other places.

If White Feather weren’t so small, Xu Yi might have Lu Ke equip it with a Star Chart too.

The night remained quiet, with not even animal calls, only the occasional crackle of the firewood.

Xu Yi continuously practiced the Supreme Profound Meditation Method, fully focused on his training.

Time slowly passed by.

Suddenly, it was the next day.

"System, check-in," Xu Yi said expectantly in his mind.

"Ding, checked in for a full month, received an intermediate gift pack."

Finally, the 5th-month gift pack had arrived.

"System, open the gift pack," Xu Yi said excitedly.

"Ding, obtained the skill Illusion [Can cause the target to fall into a dazed state, duration of 300 seconds, effective only against targets of the same level or below. Attacking the target in an illusion state will dispel the illusion.](Intermediate)"

"Ding, obtained the skill Poison Detection [Can be used to identify whether an object is harmful and how detrimental it might be.](Intermediate)"

The two consecutive skills made Xu Yi burst with joy.

The Illusion skill could last for 5 minutes. Although the illusion would break if the target was attacked, unlike restraint or delay, it was great for dealing with a fierce beast chasing him.

With 5 minutes, by the time the target snapped out of the illusion, he’d be long gone.

So Xu Yi was very satisfied with this Illusion skill.

The other skill, Poison Detection, was also incredibly useful, especially since he needed to find plants suitable for making potions, and each one needed to be tasted.

Knowing whether a plant was harmful, and to what extent, could now be determined using this skill.

Moreover, it wasn’t limited to just plants; it could also be used on liquids, fruits, various foods, metals, and more. So, it’s a very powerful skill, and Xu Yi was particularly satisfied with it. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Previously, he had an experience pack for identifying toxic substances, but it couldn’t cover all the plants on this planet.

Now with this skill, it’s a different story. He could use it to identify things directly, improving efficiency and accuracy.

These two skills made Xu Yi very happy.

After calming himself down, Xu Yi got up to head back to the tent to practice Body Refining Technique.

Body Refining Technique couldn’t be skipped even for a day.

When Xu Yi came in, Lu Ke had just started practicing Body Refining Technique.

White Feather was still sleeping on the bed, looking particularly cute while asleep.

However, Xu Yi didn’t disturb White Feather and focused on his own practice.

He performed the Body Refining Technique three times before leaving the tent.

Today, Lu Ke still wasn’t planning to go out.

Her plan was to spend three days alone with White Feather before taking it out.

For breakfast, Xu Yi brought Lu Ke’s meal to the entrance. Additionally, Liu Li and the others had prepared some fish soup and fish meat for White Feather.

Lightning didn’t like cooked food. It ran to the lake, caught a fish, and ate it happily.

After breakfast, Xu Yi took Lightning for a stroll nearby.

He needed to test out his new Poison Detection skill and look for plants.

With Qin Fan and the others at the camp, safety shouldn’t be an issue. After all, he had 4 level-3 Brain Crystals.

After walking about ten meters away from the camp, Xu Yi encountered a plant he had never seen before.

Poison Detection!

Xu Yi used the Poison Detection skill on this plant and immediately received feedback.

The plant was not harmful to Xu Yi, and he could eat it directly.

However, Xu Yi didn’t pick it up to eat but walked over to another plant a short distance away.

This was a toxic plant, and Xu Yi knew that eating it would cause full-body paralysis.

Therefore, Xu Yi wanted to see what kind of feedback he’d get after using the Poison Detection skill on it.
