"That's right, Xiao Yifei, this is the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle you mentioned!" Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Yifei's astonished expression and said with great satisfaction. Looking at the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Yifei suppressed the impulse to ask Xiao Feng where the needle came from and asked faintly, "May I take a closer look?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng handed the box to Xiao Yifei, indicating he could look at it freely. After confirming multiple times, Xiao Yifei was certain it was indeed the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, but what occupied his mind more was, where did Xiao Feng obtain it?
"Xiao Yi?" Elder Deng saw Xiao Yifei lost in thought and gently called out to him.
"Ah, sorry, I got carried away." Xiao Yifei quickly returned the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle to Xiao Feng and then smiled apologetically.
However, Xiao Feng didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "No problem, no problem, I'm happy to meet someone who recognizes its worth."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and nodded, then turned to Elder Deng and said, "Now that everything is ready, curing Elder Hua's illness shouldn't be a problem."
Actually, Elder Deng was not concerned about the previous matters because he didn't understand them. Only this matter was clear to him. Hearing Xiao Yifei say Elder Hua's illness could be completely cured, Elder Deng also happily smiled.
"In that case, are you planning to perform the acupuncture now, Mr. Xiao?" Xiao Feng placed the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle on the table and then closed his box. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei contemplated for a moment and then nodded.
"That's great!" Xiao Feng exclaimed excitedly. Then he stood up, seemingly more eager than Xiao Yifei. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but smile and then turned to Elder Deng, "Elder Deng, please have someone prepare a bath for Elder Hua, with some angelica and wolfberry added."
Upon hearing this, Elder Deng quickly instructed someone to prepare it, as this was about curing his old comrade, Elder Hua.
At this moment, Xiao Yifei also recalled the Xiao's One Hundred and Eight Needles to avoid any mistakes later. Next to him, Xiao Feng noticed Xiao Yifei closing his eyes and didn't disturb him.
After an unknown period, Elder Deng's assistant returned to his side, indicating that Elder Hua was ready. Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei was also prepared to start anytime.
"Xiao Yifei?" Elder Deng inquired. Upon hearing his name, Xiao Yifei nodded, indicating he could proceed with the acupuncture. Xiao Feng and Elder Deng then followed him to Elder Hua's room, naturally bringing the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle along.
"Elder Hua, how do you feel?" Xiao Yifei asked with concern, looking at Elder Hua lying on the bed. Upon hearing, Elder Hua waved his hand, indicating he was good.
"That's good; the treatment might be a bit painful..." Before Xiao Yifei could finish his sentence, Elder Hua interrupted, "I've endured pain for years, bring it on!"
Hearing Elder Hua interrupt his words, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but admire him. It was no wonder he was a founding marshal; his courage was unmatched.
"Alright, with Elder Hua's words, I can proceed without worry!" Saying this, Xiao Yifei glanced at Xiao Feng, naturally referring to the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. Seeing this, Xiao Feng didn't hesitate and immediately handed the box containing the needle to Xiao Yifei. Taking the box, Xiao Yifei smoothly extracted the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle.
"I'll begin now." Xiao Yifei held the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle in his right hand and the alcohol swab prepared by the steward in his left, ready to start.
"Bring it on." Elder Hua slowly closed his eyes. Due to Xiao Yifei's instructions, Elder Hua was not wearing any clothes. Thus, Xiao Yifei didn't hesitate and started the acupuncture directly.
Xiao Yifei's mind slowly recalled the contents of "Xiao's One Hundred and Eight Chapters," aimed at activating the meridians and improving blood circulation, using a unique acupuncture technique to stimulate specific points to cure diseases; when fully applied, it can even determine life and death!
With these thoughts, Xiao Yifei held the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and slowly pierced a spot in front of Elder Hua's chest. As the needle tip penetrated, Elder Hua let out a muffled groan, evidently uncomfortable, but his expression remained calm as before.
Others might not know, but Xiao Yifei knew this acupuncture point was notoriously painful, so seeing Elder Hua's unchanged expression, he was deeply impressed.
After inserting the needle, Xiao Yifei slowly began treating according to the techniques of the Xiao's One Hundred and Eight Needles. As Xiao Yifei's technique changed, Elder Hua's face became increasingly solemn.
Beside him, Elder Deng, seeing Elder Hua's expression, couldn't help but worry. Just as he wanted to ask Xiao Yifei, Xiao Feng stopped him with a glance, indicating not to disturb Xiao Yifei.
"But?" Elder Deng still wanted to say something, but then he saw Elder Hua's brow relax, seemingly feeling quite pleasant. Meanwhile, Xiao Yifei had already pulled out the needle. Upon closer inspection, from the spot where the needle was inserted, a sudden surge of dark blood emerged, clearly not beneficial to the body.
Seeing this scene, Elder Deng gradually eased his mind. Then, Xiao Yifei consecutively performed nine more acupuncture points, each leaving needle holes that, like the first, oozed black blood.
After completing the nine needles, Xiao Yifei exhaled deeply and wiped the needle, then put it away, and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Even with the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle's support, the Xiao's One Hundred and Eight Needles were mentally and physically exhausting, although it didn't harm the body.
Seeing Xiao Yifei finish the acupuncture, Elder Deng quickly approached. By now, Elder Hua had opened his eyes and appeared much better, though his body was covered in unsightly black blood, some even dripping onto the sheets.
"Old Hua, how are you?" Elder Deng asked with concern. Elder Hua laughed heartily after hearing, "No problem, after those needles, I feel comfortable. Xiao Yifei, right? Thank you so much!" Although Elder Hua was still somewhat weak, his voice remained strong.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "It's my duty as a doctor. I'll prescribe some medicine for the next few days; remember to take it, and you should be fine in about two weeks."
"Got it, I'll leave the rest to my steward then," Elder Deng quickly said, not wanting to inconvenience Xiao Yifei further. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded as the acupuncture had indeed tired him out.
So, Elder Deng led Xiao Yifei out of the room, with Xiao Feng naturally following behind. On the way back to the living room, Xiao Feng kept praising Xiao Yifei, making Xiao Yifei a bit embarrassed.
"How about not leaving today and staying at the humble abode, saving yourself the trouble of traveling?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei smiled and did not agree, as he couldn't resist wanting to try Hua Xiangrong's cooking again since last night.
Since Xiao Yifei didn't agree, Elder Deng didn't insist. On the side, Xiao Feng agreed, thinking he would wait for Xiao Yifei to come so he could have a chance to discuss medical matters with him.
