When his hand touched the little guy's skin, the little guy showed an expression of enjoyment, and Yi Shuihan also felt very happy.
Clearly, the little guy is particularly close to Yi Shuihan. Whether it's because Yi Shuihan was the first person he saw when he opened his eyes, or for some other reason, they get along quite well.
The scenario of a mythical beast being born, eating its own eggshell, and immediately gaining immense strength is naturally impossible. However, as a memento, Yi Shuihan still collected Ye Mingmiao's eggshell in a bottle and casually placed it in a corner of his personal space, perhaps waiting a long time before he would think of it again.
Yi Shuihan named Ye Mingmiao "Meow Ya" because its meow sounds similar to this. Meow Ya was just born, so it quickly fell asleep. During this time, Yi Shuihan fed it some food as instructed by the female shop assistant, and everything went very smoothly.
"anyone there?"
Yi Shuihan called out from outside Haig's hut.
After a series of crackling sounds, Yi Shuihan saw Hagrid, who possessed giant blood.
Compared to Yi Shuihan, who was nearly 4 meters tall, Hagrid was like a giant. Yi Shuihan had to look up to see Hagrid's face clearly, which made Yi Shuihan feel a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the fact that flying might seem impolite, Yi Shuihan would probably have chosen to stand parallel to Hagrid, or simply have Hagrid look up.
"You are……"
Hagrid looked puzzled; having only met Yi Shuihan once, he had clearly forgotten who Yi Shuihan was.
“I am Yi Shuihan, a cultivator from the East. You can just call me by my surname, or just call me Yi. We met once before, at the freshman party.”
Since he was asking for help, Yi Shuihan naturally acted very politely, and his expression and tone were very friendly.
“I remember now, you are the Easterner who was granted special permission by Professor Dumbledore to walk freely in Hogwarts.”
Because of his fondness for Dumbledore, Hagrid had a good first impression of Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that you are the guardian of the hunting grounds here and that you are very good at dealing with magical creatures, so I would like to learn from your experience, since I just got a pet."
"Meow!"
The sound came from Yi Shuihan's arms. Miaoya seemed to have just woken up and looked a little confused, but after seeing Yi Shuihan, she snuggled close to him.
"Oh my god! It's a Night Cat! You actually have one! That's amazing! I've wanted to have one for ages, but they're too expensive, and I've heard they're very proud and don't easily get close to humans. How did you manage to do that? It seems to really like you."
Hagrid gestured excitedly as he spoke, raising and lowering his hand several times as if he wanted to pet Meow. It was clear that he really liked Meow.
If Hagrid was only somewhat polite to Yi Shuihan before because of Dumbledore's influence, then now it's entirely because of Meowya's existence. In Hagrid's worldview, people who are loved by small animals are generally not bad people and can be befriended.
"Can we go inside and talk?"
"Look at my place, it's a mess inside. If you don't mind, please come in."
Stepping into Hagrid's cottage, it does give a messy impression, but it's still quite clean despite the haphazard arrangement of items.
Hagrid made Yi Shuihan sit down, and then poured her a drink that looked a bit like animal milk.
"By the way, does it have a name yet?"
"Its name is Meow."
"A great name! It suits it perfectly."
Haig's lack of surprise at Yi Shuihan's choice of name surprised Yi Shuihan, as he felt the name didn't quite suit Western tastes.
Seemingly hearing Hagrid's praise, Meowth's initially wary gaze softened somewhat towards this stranger.
Chapter 521, As Communication Techniques
"Wow, you're definitely an experienced driver!"
Upon seeing this change, Yi Shuihan instantly understood that only Hagrid himself knew whether he had a problem with the name. He had only said that to gain favor with Hagrid!
Hagrid is a true lover of magical creatures. To him, animals are easier to communicate with and more trustworthy than humans.
This love, which even Yi Shuihan could feel, was naturally transmitted to Miaoya's body. So when Haig tried to make physical contact with Miaoya, Miaoya hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not avoid it.
Seeing how quickly Hagrid became familiar with Meow, Yi Shuihan truly admired him.
"Thank you."
After playing with Hagrid for a while, Meow seemed a little tired. Being only recently born, it didn't have much energy. Hagrid noticed this and reluctantly gave Meow back to Yi Shuihan.
Perhaps afraid of disturbing Meow's rest, Hagrid, who usually has a loud voice, deliberately lowered his voice during the ensuing conversation.
Without Yi Shuihan asking, Haig began to recount his experiences, his pets, and the appearance and habits of various magical animals, while also sharing some tips.
Yi Shuihan mostly remained silent, quietly listening, only occasionally offering his own opinions.
"What if you get an egg from some unknown creature and don't know how to hatch it?"
Seemingly unintentionally, Yi Shuihan asked this question.
"I wonder what kind of creature's egg it is?" Hagrid was taken aback by the question and looked at Yi Shuihan with some curiosity.
"Could it be that he figured something out?"
Under Hagrid's gaze, Yi Shuihan couldn't help but have this thought.
Fortunately, things didn't go that way, and Hagrid shared his opinion.
“The possibility of such a thing happening is indeed not small. After all, most wizards nowadays do not study other magical creatures. Take me for example, if I find an egg of some unknown creature and want to hatch it, the first thing I would do is to look up information and find out the true identity of the egg. Then everything else would be simple. If that doesn’t work…” Hagrid paused and took a sip of the unknown beast milk.
"Then you'll have to rely on your own knowledge accumulation. You can try gently and slowly, use magical tools to test the egg's attributes, and then find the things needed to hatch other creatures based on those attributes."
"Isn't there an easier way? Like a spell specifically designed for this?"
"A spell? You mean the As Communication Technique, the legendary magic of Professor As, the professor of magical creature research. Anyone who casts this spell can know what conditions are needed for an unhatched egg to hatch."
There really is one! This is indeed a surprise, and it's exactly what Yi Shuihan expected.
"Do you know this spell?"
"Me? Of course not. I once saw a single line of this spell in Professor Dumbledore's collection. I wanted to learn it back then. I felt that this spell was tailor-made for me. Unfortunately, I didn't meet the requirements to learn it. There are some special conditions for learning As spells: strong magic power and strong mental power. I didn't meet the requirements."
"Even Professor Dumbledore said that if the spell hadn't been recorded in that book, he wouldn't have believed that the spell could actually be successfully mastered."
Hagrid pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to continue the discussion.
"That book? That's another interesting thing!"
At this point, Yi Shuihan had made up her mind to go and see the book that recorded the Ast communication technique from Dumbledore.
Two hours later, Yi Shuihan finally left Haige's place with satisfaction. He had a new skill added to his skill bar, which would make raising pets much easier.
For the next few days, Yi Shuihan waited, waiting for news from Dumbledore. Of course, while he said he was waiting, he actually spent most of his time reading in the library. Although he didn't have magic now, he would eventually have some, and it would be good to learn some theoretical knowledge first.
While reading, Yi Shuihan also brought Miaoya along. Miaoya's adorable appearance won over many people, including Mrs. Pingsi from the library. The way she looked at Miaoya was as if she were seeing her long-lost husband, filled with tenderness.
Unfortunately, apart from Yi Shuihan, Miaoya basically ignores everyone else. At most, if someone gives Miaoya some food she likes, she will quietly finish it and then still ignore them.
Even so, Mrs. Pins continued to indulge in this, causing her cat to throw a few tantrums, but each time its owner disciplined it. Yi Shuihan felt sorry for the cat, thinking that other people's cats were always better than her own!
"Professor Dumbledore!"
"I'm here to see Yi."
In the library, Yi Shuihan was looking at a rather obscure magic book when Dumbledore came to him.
Yi Shuihan was very happy to see Dumbledore again, because it meant that the potion matter was settled, and he also had the opportunity to borrow the spellbook whose name Hagrid had not mentioned.
They immediately put the spellbook back in its original place, and Yi Shuihan and Dumbledore left together.
Since teleportation is not possible inside Hogwarts, Dumbledore and Yi Shuihan had to walk to the headmaster's office.
"Hey, Fox, I'm back again."
Upon seeing Little Phoenix, Yi Shuihan greeted her. He could sense that the little cat in his arms was a little afraid of Fox, perhaps because of their different levels of existence.
Fox called out to Yi Shuihan, as if to say welcome.
In the room, besides Dumbledore and Yi Shuihan, there was a third person: Severus Snape, the Potions professor at Hogwarts and the head of Slytherin House. He was arguably the most accomplished Potions professor at Hogwarts.
"This is Professor Snape; the potion you need was made by him."
Dumbledore explained.
"Hello, Professor Snape, it's an honor to meet you."
Yi Shuihan said politely.
"Hello! Guest from the East."
Snape's voice was somewhat low, and he wore an unpleasant smile, revealing that he was not good at socializing.
"Then, Professor Snape, bring it out!"
"Before that, I want to see if he really has the potential to succeed as you say."
Chapter 522, Demanding the Magic Book
"See if I have a chance of success? What the hell is this?" Yi Shuihan didn't react for a moment.
"Yi, then please demonstrate."
Dumbledore was not angry, and said to Yi Shuihan.
Fortunately, Yi Shuihan reacted quickly and finally understood a little bit. This was the time to show his strength!
A powerful aura instantly filled the entire room, which seemed to be under immense pressure, vibrating slightly and emitting a distinct groan.
The sudden pressure caused Snape's expression to change drastically. He stared at Yi Shuihan in shock. Although it wasn't magic, the pressure he felt from Yi Shuihan was undeniable. He even compared it to Voldemort at his peak and found that Yi Shuihan's aura was much stronger than Voldemort's.
How could Snape believe that an Eastern practitioner who suddenly appeared, who was not a magician, was stronger than Voldemort?
Unfortunately, the truth is the truth, and Snape had no choice but to believe it.
At this point, Snape began to understand why Dumbledore treated Yi Shuihan so well. It would be strange if he didn't treat such a powerful person well!
"This is the energy I control, known as spiritual energy." A pure white sword appeared in Yi Shuihan's hand, with purple lightning constantly flashing on its blade, making it look quite intimidating.
Whether it was intentional or not, a wisp of lightning grazed the floor, instantly creating a half-meter-wide crater, as if it had been evaporated. One can imagine what it would have been like if a living person had been touched by it.
"Sorry, I couldn't control myself." Although it was an apology, the tone was completely different, making Dumbledore's lips twitch. He really wanted to teach Yi Shuihan a lesson, but considering the strength of both sides, not to mention whether he could win, if they really fought, this place would probably be lost, so he gave up.
Yi Shuihan dispelled the spiritual energy sword in his hand, a move that left Snape stunned and somewhat dazed.
"Well, do you think I'm qualified now?"
"Professor Snape!"
"Ah, oh, yes, Yi is fully qualified. This is the potion I concocted."
Snape, who was usually aloof, seemed flustered and completely lost his usual composure.
The potion was contained in small, transparent bottles, five in total, each containing just enough for Yi Shuihan to drink in one gulp.
The potion in the bottle was a crystalline purple, and even without careful observation, one could sense the astonishing magical power it emitted. This was even after the bottle had blocked much of its effect, demonstrating just how incredibly powerful the magic it contained truly was.
"Should we just drink it directly? Are there any precautions we should take?"
After taking the potion, Yi Shuihan asked.
"If your body can tolerate it, then you don't need to pay any attention. You should try drinking a little first and see if you have any adverse reactions."
Snape said.
Dumbledore nodded in agreement and gave Yi Shuihan a reassuring look.
Without hesitation, Yi Shuihan immediately opened a bottle and tried drinking a little.
The magic potion entered Yi Shuihan's body and instantly transformed into pure magic power, which began to cleanse his body. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be unable to withstand this cleansing and would be injured. However, it was not the same for Yi Shuihan at all. At most, it was equivalent to the stimulation of an ordinary person suddenly drinking a little cola.
Realizing that the potion would not harm him, Yi Shuihan stopped being cautious and drank the whole bottle in one gulp. A powerful magical aura immediately surged from Yi Shuihan's body, and a crackling sound came from his body.
About 10 minutes later, the effects of the first potion wore off completely, and the magical aura gradually dissipated.
"how are you feeling?"
Dumbledore asked, while Snape, standing to the side, stared intently at Yi Shuihan.
Yi Shuihan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Not bad. If I continue to drink about 40 more bottles, I should be able to possess magic power. And I can probably drink about 10 bottles a day."
The potion allowed Yi Shuihan's body to gradually adapt to magic, eventually reaching the point where he could generate magic.
Yi Shuihan's words left Snape and Dumbledore looking at him in astonishment. According to the records, drinking one bottle of this potion was comparable to the pain of having one's soul torn apart. Yet Yi Shuihan could easily drink one bottle without changing his expression, and he could even withstand 10 bottles a day. How strong must his body be to do that?
"Professor Snape, I'll leave the rest of the potion making to you. I'll take care of the ingredients."
"Dumbledore said to Snape."
Snape readily agreed and promised to give it to Yi Shuihan as soon as it was made.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Snape left the headmaster's office, leaving Yi Shuihan and Dumbledore alone.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Dumbledore, being cunning and shrewd, noticed that Yi Shuihan hadn't left and seemed slightly hesitant, immediately guessing that Yi Shuihan probably had other things to do.
