Supreme Magical Concubine Is Wickedly Strong - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Salvage

This was a gamble. Wanting to contract a powerful spirit beast was often accompanied by huge risks.

If that spirit beast launched an attack before Qiu Nuo condensed the Formation of Contract, she would probably have no escape.

However, based on Qiu Nuo’s energy now, she would be able to condense it in the blink of an eye.

That was why Xue Ling dared to let her contract this spirit beast.

…

Following the hole, Qiu Nuo slowly slid in.

After being covered with mud, she finally fell to the ground safely.

This was an empty cave. Faint red light radiated from the rocks, reflecting the outline of this cave faintly.

Qiu Nuo could vaguely see a round object lying on the ground, snoring.

As it breathed, a faint flame was emitted. This caused the entire space to become scorching hot.

“That’s it. This stupid pig is actually sleeping. Hurry up and condense the Formation of Contract. Don’t wake it up.” Xue Ling’s excited voice reached her.

Qiu Nuo didn’t have time to think further. She took a few steps forward lightly. When she felt that the distance was right, she stopped and started to condense the Formation of Contract based on memory.

Suddenly, a burst of light lit up the cave. The complex and mysterious Formation of Contract formed under the spirit beast.

“Woo!!!”

The round spirit beast suddenly let out a sharp scream. It stood up after turning over but realized its body couldn’t move much.

“Damned human being. What did you do to my body?!” A soft and cute voice traveled over. However, it sounded like it was gritting its teeth.

Under the light illuminated by the Formation of Contract, Qiu Nuo could clearly see this spirit beast’s appearance.

“Xue Ling, this is the spirit beast you were talking about?” Qiu Nuo’s lips twitched, speechless.

Wasn’t this a pig that was less than half a meter long and looked like a ball?! It was even pink…

Although it was round and its eyes were watery, it looked very soft and cute. Was it really lethal?

“Don’t be distracted. Contract it quickly.” Xue Ling reminded her.

Only then did Qiu Nuo realize that the binding effect of the Formation of Contract was gradually weakening. That pig was lifting its hoof with difficulty, preparing to smash the Formation of Contract to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Nuo hurriedly raised her hands to form a few handprints. The Formation of Contract suddenly shone brightly and shrank quickly.

In the end, together with that pig, it turned into a fiery red ring, floating quietly midair.

“It’s a success!” Qiu Nuo’s eyes shone, and she stepped forward to grab the ring.

This was the sign of a Summoner. The Ring of Contract!

“Congratulations.” Xue Ling’s body gradually appeared in the air.

“Now, you should tell me the background of this pig, right?!” Qiu Nuo asked.

“It’s an ancient holy beast, the Red Lotus Pig. It’s even mutated. You should be satisfied now, right?” Xue Ling looked at the Ring of Contract in Qiu Nuo’s hand. “Let it out. I have a few questions for it.”

…

When Qiu Nuo returned to the ground, it was already the next afternoon.

As the Chiyan Fruit was about to become ripe, almost everyone had left the campsite and headed toward Juyan Valley.

“Sob. Madam, nothing can happen to you.”

Qiu Nuo could faintly hear a woman crying from inside a tent.

A beautiful woman who looked like she was in her thirties was tightly frowning and lying on the luxurious-looking purplish-golden wooden couch.

Next to her was an elder in a yellow robe and a woman dressed as a servant.

“Doctor, do you have any solutions? Is Madam’s old illness acting up again? Why isn’t it working even though she has taken medicine…” The servant sobbed and wiped her tears. In the past, Madam would experience chest pain from time to time. She would even faint occasionally. However, after eating the Jiuxuan Pill, she would definitely wake up quickly.

However, Madam had already consumed two Jiuxuan Pills this time, but she didn’t move at all.

If something were to happen, how was she going to answer the Old Master?

“I… I don’t know about this as well. I’ve already checked. There’s nothing wrong with Madam’s body… Why don’t… Why don’t we give Madam another Jiuxuan Pill?”

The elder in a yellow robe was sweating profusely. He had been a doctor for decades and never encountered such symptoms before.

There were obviously no issues with the patient’s body after checking. However, the patient remained unconscious. He didn’t know what to do as well.

“Medicine can’t be consumed indiscriminately.” A cold voice suddenly sounded.

The elder in a yellow robe turned back and saw a dirty girl standing in front of the tent.

“Who are you?” The elder looked at Qiu Nuo angrily.

This girl who just appeared out of nowhere actually dared to question his words?

Although he wasn’t sure at this moment if the Jiuxuan Pill was useful for the patient, what else could he do besides this?

He had been a doctor for decades. Although he wouldn’t say that he was formidable, he generally didn’t make mistakes when checking a patient’s condition.

He was certain that there were no issues with the patient’s body. Her old illness must be acting up, causing her to remain unconscious.

“This patient is obviously dehydrated. Even if you feed her a ninth-grade pill, she wouldn’t be able to wake up!” Qiu Nuo smiled lightly.

“Dehydrated? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it before…” The elder snorted in disdain.

When the servant heard such words, she looked at Qiu Nuo expectantly.

“Miss, do you have any ways to save Madam? Please. Please, save Madam!”

“Let me take a look first.”

Qiu Nuo walked to the couch and examined the patient briefly. She turned around and asked, “Is there salt and sugar?”

“Yes.” The servant hurriedly nodded.

“Bring over some for me. A bowl of water as well.” Qiu Nuo ordered.

“Wait for a while, Miss.”

“Hah. I’ll see what tricks you’re up to.” The elder looked at Qiu Nuo by the side with a sneer.

He didn’t believe that a young girl like her could cure an illness that even he couldn’t detect.

The things were sent over quickly. Qiu Nuo mixed the salt and sugar in proportion with the water and handed it over to the servant. “Let her drink this!”

“Just… just like that?” The servant was in disbelief.

Even a Jiuxuan Pill couldn’t wake Madam up. Could a bowl of water mixed with salt and sugar really save her?

“I’ve said that this girl is a liar. Quickly find people to chase her out,” the elder said proudly.

“You should be the one chased out!” Qiu Nuo stood up and looked at him. She said coldly, “As a doctor, you have such old-fashioned and inflexible thoughts. Don’t you know how to prescribe the right remedy for an illness? Must a medicinal ingredient that is more expensive be better? You’re so sure that others can’t do what you can’t? What a joke! I’ll advise you to give up being a doctor. You’re just harming your patients!”
