"Oh? You know?" The Sunflame Qilin seemed intrigued.

Great, I guessed right! Xiao Yifei cheered inwardly, then said to the Sunflame Qilin, "That's right, and I can heal!"

"You say that medical skills have nothing to do with cultivation?" The Sunflame Qilin said suspiciously. Xiao Yifei and Xiao Zhengri were the only members of the Xiao Family it had interacted with in centuries, and since the former knew little about the Xiao Family, it needed to verify this to avoid being deceived.

"That's right, and my father might have been focused on cultivation for decades; his medical skill might not be as strong as mine!" Xiao Yifei responded confidently. He was quite assured of this point, because his journey in the Cultivation World had been less than a year, relying on Ci Xin and Zhang Po's help, as well as his own fortunes to reach this stage. Before that, he was a professional inheritor of the Xiao Family Medical Skill.

"Then show me a couple of tricks." Clearly, the Sunflame Qilin was somewhat persuaded by Xiao Yifei's words, granting the latter an opportunity to prove himself.

"But you, senior, never show yourself, only communicating with me via Divine Sense, and my physical body is basically ruined right now, and I'm on the brink of death. How am I supposed to demonstrate medical skills?"

"True." The Qilin nodded quietly, then continued, "Let's do this. I'll remove the Fire Poison that continues to erode you and give you a relatively safe realm. You repair your damaged physical body here to show me. Consider it a test from me. If you succeed, I'll spare you to treat my illness. If you fail, you'll bring your father to me from below!"

"Wait a moment!" Xiao Yifei wanted to say something, but found that after the Qilin gave these instructions, it had already left his mind, clearly not giving Xiao Yifei a chance to negotiate.

With the Qilin's departure, Xiao Yifei noticed his body starting to stabilize from collapsing, maintaining its current state, and the heat and dryness began to gradually vanish.

It seems this Sunflame Qilin is true to its word, Xiao Yifei thought to himself.

Their conversation lasted more than half an hour, meaning Xiao Yifei had endured the Fire Poison's erosion for nearly half that time since collapsing.

He introspected his own state; currently, his body condition was far from optimistic. The bodily fluid was nearly depleted, leaving him gaunt like a dried corpse.

Moreover, his meridians were blocked and lifeless, and his Qi had stopped circulating inside his Dantian, making self-repair via Qi very difficult.

Though it wasn't entirely hopeless, since he still had the Green-tailed Yin Needle inside, and his Qi recovery power was amazing. Even without moving, as long as there was no further Fire Poison erosion, his body's recovery was just a matter of time.

It seems you can't abandon me now, Xiao Yifei thought happily, exerting every last ounce of energy to activate the dormant Biwei Silver Needle within him. Feeling Xiao Yifei's call, it began circulating rapidly inside.

The Biwei Silver Needle, existing independently outside Xiao Yifei's body, wouldn't drain due to his bodily exhaustion, meaning it would persist even if he died. Similar to a magical instrument, this too was the benefit of the Green Silver Needle.

Within moments, fourteen silver needles circulated several rounds inside his meridians, under their rapid operation, the originally sluggish and stagnated Qi started moving slowly again.

Once Qi begins operating, the body damage won't be ignored. Operating Qi quickly starts emitting a faint yet vibrant green light, rhythmically shining within.

With the green light flashing, Xiao Yifei soon regained control, gradually gathering the Qi flowing through meridians to the Dantian. After all, the latter is the storage site for Qi. Though the Qi in meridians restored vibrancy, its volume compared to within the Dantian was still very small. Only by fully mobilizing the Qi inside could he repair the body in its current state.

Carefully manipulating Qi to flow through meridians toward the Dantian was crucial, especially since the meridians were extremely fragile due to dehydration. If Qi flowed too fast, it could cause the meridians to rupture, whereas if too slow, it wouldn't aid in repairing the meridians.

This greatly tested Xiao Yifei's control over Qi, demanding perfection in grasping both speed and strength to avoid danger.

Fortunately, Xiao Yifei had surpassed the Jin Family's Cultivation Technique Qigong realm, comprehending within the cave for days honing his Qi control to mastery level; this degree was manageable for him.

Finally, under Xiao Yifei's meticulous control, Qi in meridians gathered at the Dantian's entrance, immediately upon contact it surged inside like rivers meeting the sea.

During this surge, the stagnant Qi within the Dantian awakened, albeit slowly, and started rotating within Xiao Yifei's Dantian.

Success! Xiao Yifei rejoiced; now all needed was waiting for Dantian's Qi to fully circulate, then mobilizing it throughout limbs and torso to commence body repair would fulfill his undertaking.

Unbeknownst to him, the distant Sunflame Qilin perceived the changes within Xiao Yifei's body, involuntarily startled, thinking, "It seems making this kid show his skill was wise, indeed skillful."

"Wait, something's off!" The Sunflame Qilin suddenly realized something midway, gasping, "This kid isn't just relying on his internal Biwei Silver Needle for healing, when did Wood attribute Qi gain such potent recovery power? Moreover, the Qi within him feels completely different from Xiao Zhengri's, even utterly opposite. What's going on here?"

At this moment, Xiao Yifei naturally couldn't hear the Sunflame Qilin's inner monologue, he could only use all his consciousness to manipulate the relatively abundant Qi inside. After all, his physical body was too damaged, incapable of controlling Qi normally, relying solely on his consciousness.

Approximately after an hour, Xiao Yifei noticeably felt the Qi within his Dantian become lively again, swirling rapidly in a vortex pattern as usual.

Time waits for no one; Xiao Yifei promptly commanded the Qi in Dantian to enter limbs and carcass. This time he didn't adjust Qi's speed or quality because he knew currently Qi's quality had returned to peak state, having witnessed its restoration power firsthand multiple times, no need to worry about bodily harm.

Indeed, Qi in meridians upon entering organs and pathways made them bloom like withered wood meeting spring, visible swelling and freshening, regaining vitality. The once near-failing heart started strong and vigorous pumping, circulating blood throughout every corner.

Soon, internal injuries were fully healed; Qi began extending inwardly and outwardly, enveloping Xiao Yifei's limbs and trunk. After surpassing the Qigong realm, his Qi's physical control matured, thus making external injury repair more effortless.
