Raising Ducks for Daily Rewards-Chapter 88: Full Recovery and Confusion

"Woof!" barking was heard outside the branching cave, yet Fengyu didn’t react.

He waited.

Moments passed in this silence, his eyes observing the burnt wound.

The previously trembling body had stopped.

Seconds turned to minutes until Fengyu finally saw something –

The wolf body moved slightly, its feet trying to gain a foothold.

"Don’t move for now," Fengyu walked forward and patted the wolf gently, easing its movements.

Looking at the deep eyes, he smiled, "You have been healed for the most part.

You can now decide – allow your body to rest a bit before we continue the recovery, or do it right away."

"W... woof?" the wolf looked at Fengyu and asked him with a whiny voice which option would be best.

"If we do it right away, I will be able to heal 98% of your wounds, maybe even 99%. The rest will slowly recover after some time.

Waiting will lower the recovery to 90%. Even when your body heals, it won’t reach further than 95%."

Fengyu answered honestly, his eyes gleaming with calculations.

Only a full session could allow the body to heal to 100% right away. Since he failed, he could try the second best and allow the body to do the rest.

Even reaching 98% was because his talent and mastery of recovery spells was immaculate – anyone else might have already stopped at 90%.

"Woof!" a determined bark came, telling Fengyu to continue right away.

Fengyu nodded and took out a pill, explaining to the wolf, "My spiritual power has been depleted, so I will recover it shortly with this pill.

You can prepare yourself for the pain that will come when I tear off the burnt flesh." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After saying this, he calmed his mind and swallowed the pill.

It wasn’t his first time taking a pill – having tried a cultivation pill once, he realised that its effect was too low for the price, which was why he hadn’t considered cultivating with pills.

Now, with the experience of having done it once, he knew what to do. Simply allow the pill to dissolve as it was being swallowed, then absorb the freed spiritual power from the body into the dantian.

His bowls quickly started absorbing the spiritual power and replenished themselves.

A single pill brought his spiritual power to over 70% in just a minute.

Exhaling a stale breath, Fengyu looked at the wolf and patted him slightly before starting to cast a spell.

"Silver Feather Spell, Shoot!"

This time, he didn’t take the feather into his hand. Instead, he used the spiritual control art to move it along the burnt flesh rapidly, cutting it off like a piece of grilled beef...

’I will need to buy some tools for the medical profession if I ever want to practice it properly. Using spells isn’t effective nor efficient, affecting the process of recovery.’

He looked over to the wolf once during this operation and saw that the wolf wasn’t conscious anymore.

Fortunately, the heart was beating and the vitality flowing, showing signs of clear recovery and stability.

Soon the flesh was all cut off, so he started using his technique again –

"Wood Recovery Spell, Recover!"

"Vitality Recovery Spell, Recover!"

"Recovery Beam Technique, Beam!"

"Fwuuuuuuuu-"

The beam formed between his fingers and shot straight at the wound.

60%

50%

40%

30%

20%

Fengyu’s spiritual power dropped rapidly.

This time, because it was a re-opening of the wound and a second wave of recovery, even after using over half his total spiritual power again, he only healed a third.

"Fire Breath Spell, Breath!"

FWOOOOSH

A burnt spell appeared once more.

Fengyu didn’t ask this time and instead took the spiritual recovery pill right away, absorbing its contents in just a minute.

When he was about to cast his spell again, he saw that the wolf barely woke up.

He could only smile wryly, wondering why the world wanted to make this wolf suffer so much.

His hesitation disappeared in less than a second as he cast the spell, once again cutting off the burnt wound.

A round of healing ensued.

This time, the beam healed even less, barely reaching 15%!

"A last time it is then," Fengyu said – the first round healed 50%, the second 30%, and now 15%.

The fourth round followed rapidly, barely going through half the process when he felt his recovery beam blocked.

No matter how much he cast the technique, the body seemed to reject any further vitality, as if telling him that the body was full of vitality and didn’t need more.

He could even see the energy dissipating randomly into the body on the edges.

Stopping the spell, he instead used a few Vitality Recovery and Spiritual Absorption Spells to allow the body to regain its energy fully before stopping.

At this point the wolf had experienced several rounds of treatment, its body having stabilised somewhat.

Fengyu looked at the wolf for a moment before shaking his head – it wasn’t conscious. Such treatment was extremely close to torture, so it was understandable the wolf wouldn’t regain his consciousness so fast.

Walking out of the branching cave, he saw dozens of wolves outside –

One late stage, five mid stage, twenty-eight early-stage...

"Woof?" the alpha’s mate stepped forward and asked.

"He’s good now. I recovered all his wounds. It’s just that I had to reopen the wound several times, so right now he’s still unconscious.

Can you tell me how this happened?

The wound is extremely weird and his body is very damaged – not something that happens from fighting beasts, does it?"

"Woof, woof... woof! Woof?"

"You mean to say this wound was caused by a cultivator and you’re asking me why they’ve been so active lately?

To be honest, today I came here to ask you why the beasts have been so active!

The village has said there will be a Beast Attack this year, causing many cultivators to prepare for desperate times!"

"Woof?" the mate asked again, unsure whether it really understood it.

Just then, Fengyu heard a weak bark coming from behind, "Woof. Woof, woof..."

"Woof? Woof, woof woof!"

The two talked as Fengyu listened to their explanation –

While fighting, the alpha heard the humans talk a bit, understanding the bits he had learned through Fengyu’s teachings during the recovery over the year...

"You heard them talk about an attack coming from the beasts too? Then..."
