<h4>Chapter 1019: Chapter 1011: The Root of the Matter</h4>


    Therefore, it was indeed reasonable for Xiao Feng to request a look at Elder Hua. As Xiao Yifei watched from the side, he noticed that Xiao Feng’s expression mirrored his own from before when he first examined Elder Hua’splexion.


    "Mr. Xiao, feel free to speak," said Mr. Deng as he observed Xiao Feng’s expression, prompting Xiao Feng to speak openly. Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Elder Hua’s illness is quite severe. However, a few days ago it was presumably worse. I wonder which senior managed to stabilize it?"


    Xiao Feng indeed lived up to his reputation as a master of Chinese medicine. With just one look, he discerned many issues and could tell that Xiao Yifei had adjusted the condition. Xiao Yifei, in his heart, acknowledged the skills of this man named Xiao Feng.


    Upon hearing this, Elder Deng chuckled and said, "The senior you’re referring to is none other than Xiao Yifei." Xiao Feng, hearing this, looked at the unremarkable and quite young man in front of him, and couldn’t help but be astonished. He originally thought that Elder Deng’s colleague was just an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor, but he hadn’t expected his medical skill to be so advanced, and most importantly, for him to be so young.


    "So it’s Mr. Xiao Yifei, I am impressed," Xiao Feng said sincerely to Xiao Yifei. Growing up, Xiao Feng was naturally proud and never acknowledged those less skilled, but he respected Xiao Yifei because even Xiao Feng himself couldn’t guarantee to regte the condition as well as Xiao Yifei had.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei simply smiled, saying nothing. In truth, Xiao Yifei hadn’t adjusted much; he merely cleared the residual effects of Elder Hua’s medicine.


    "Does Mr. Xiao have a method to treat this?" Elder Deng asked the critical question. While regting is one thing, treating is what ultimately matters.


    Hearing this, Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and replied, "It’s hard to say. I would like to hear Mr. Xiao Yifei’s thoughts." Upon being mentioned, Xiao Yifei smiled and said, "Just some humble opinions, please don’t take offense, Mr. Xiao."


    "If that’s the case, let’s discuss this outside," suggested Elder Deng, noticing they seemed inclined to discuss further, to avoid disturbing Elder Hua. The two nodded in agreement and followed Elder Deng out of the room.


    Once outside, the three of them sat in the living room, and after some small talk, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yifei went straight to the point.


    "In my opinion, Elder Hua must undergo surgery. Although I am a practitioner of Chinese medicine, in some cases, Western medicine is superior," Xiao Feng, after much consideration, couldn’t think of a treatment for Elder Hua, so he finally suggested surgery.


    "I think that’s inadvisable. Regardless of whether the surgery seeds, even if it does, Elder Hua’s body may not withstand the surgery. Reckless surgery is absolutely out of the question!" Xiao Yifei objected immediately after hearing Xiao Feng’s rmendation, indicating that surgery was not a viable option.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng frowned. He had indeed considered what Xiao Yifei was saying, but his medical skill wasn’t proficient enough toe up with other solutions. However, seeing Xiao Yifei’s confidence, Xiao Feng was curious and asked, "Then does Mr. Xiao have a better method?"


    Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded, "I believe that if treated with acupuncture, it might work." In fact, with the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, sess was practically assured, but to remain humble, Xiao Yifei didn’t make a definitive im.


    "Acupuncture?" Xiao Feng pondered upon hearing about acupuncture. While he was very familiar with acupuncture, he was uncertain if it could make significant progress with Elder Hua’s grave condition.


    Perceiving the doubt on Xiao Feng’s face, Xiao Yifei proceeded to exin the acupuncture technique broadly. Xiao Feng, being no ordinary person, gained sudden rity after hearing Xiao Yifei mention a few relevant acupoints.


    "I find Mr. Xiao’s method to be quite ingenious. I feel inferior," Xiao Feng sighed lightly, not expecting that after decades of medical practice, he was still outdone by a young upstart.


    Hearing this, Xiao Yifei promptly said, "In medicine, everyone has their areas of expertise. For instance, I have insights in this aspect, while you may excel in other areas. By learning from each other’s strengths, we benefit the well-being of the world!"


    Xiao Yifei’s words were spoken with great righteousness, also allowing Xiao Feng to gracefully ept them. Therefore, Xiao Feng felt quiteforted. "Since that’s the case, let me learn from your acupuncture technique, Mr. Xiao." Eager to see it firsthand, Xiao Feng expressed his urgency after hearing Xiao Yifei’s method.


    However, hearing this, Xiao Yifei began to feel troubled. Without the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, he couldn’t perform the acupuncture. Noticing Xiao Yifei’s predicament, Xiao Feng cautiously asked, "Is there a problem?"


    Seeing Xiao Yifei hesitant to speak, Elder Deng, who had remained silent, wanted to help Xiao Yifei exin, but before Elder Deng could intervene, Xiao Yifei raised his hand to stop him.


    "The truth is, this acupuncture technique is an ancestral method passed down in my family, but it has a defect—it requires a specific type of silver needle to perform, otherwise..." He didn’t borate on the consequences, only exining why he couldn’t perform the acupuncture, leaving it to the imagination, which it naturally wouldn’t go to extremes over the potential consequences Xiao Yifei mentioned.


    Sure enough, upon hearing this, Xiao Feng suddenly realized, not questioning what Xiao Yifei implied about the consequences, but knowing they probably weren’t anything good.


    "Then, could Mr. Xiao tell me what kind of needle you need specifically?" intrigued by the ancestral method Xiao Yifei mentioned, Xiao Feng hurriedly asked what needle Xiao Yifei needed.


    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle." Since it seemed Xiao Feng merely wanted to witness the medical skill, Xiao Yifei openly mentioned the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. Upon hearing its name, Xiao Feng’s pupils widened dramatically.


    "Did you say the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle?" Xiao Feng questioned once more. Xiao Yifei nodded to confirm, puzzled by the person’s strong reaction.


    Seeing Xiao Yifei nod, Xiao Feng hurriedly opened his suitcase, taking out a long box. While Elder Deng was unaware of its purpose, Xiao Yifei immediately recognized it—it was clearly used to store acupuncture needles.


    At this point, Xiao Yifei vaguely guessed what was happening, watching Xiao Feng slowly open the box, revealing its contents.


    "The Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle?" Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but exim upon seeing the contents of the box. Inside were indeed the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles.


    The needles were adorned with elongated emerald gemstones at the tips, emanating a pure silver glow from the shafts, while the chilling glow at the tails invoked an involuntary shiver.
