Chapter 792 - 794 Xiao’s Acupuncture Technique
"Xiao Family’s Acupuncture Technique, with every needle entering subtly, the silver tip slightly trembling, the biwei sealing the sorrow, a hundred needles descend together, life cycles reincarnate..."
"Originally, the first time I treated a patient with needles, I fell seriously ill. No matter what method I used, I couldn’t heal myself, until I slowly recovered several months later. Later, I discovered the Xiao Family’s Acupuncture Technique had major drawbacks, every time I truly applied it, I would experience various symptoms, from minor colds to vomiting blood and fainting. Xiao Family’s Acupuncture Technique could heal others, but not myself."
"While going through the relics left by our ancestors, I found a clue. It turned out that when our ancestor left behind the acupuncture technique, he also left a set of silver needles, but their whereabouts are now unknown. These silver needles with silver tips and biwei were bestowed by Song Renzong Zhao Zhen during the Song Dynasty. They have the effect of immunizing the practitioner of Xiao Family’s Acupuncture Technique from side effects. Over these years, I’ve traveled all over the country and yet found no trace of these silver needles."
"Ah~! Feifei, don’t blame Grandfather, for you are the only successor of the Xiao Family, I don’t want to see any mishap happen to you. But ultimately, I am helpless. Grandfather knows his days are numbered, I leave this book to you in hopes that you will not apply the needles casually before you find the silver needles. The ancestral heritage must ultimately be passed down by you..."
Xiao Yifei clutched the book in his hands, filled with self-reproach. He had argued with his grandfather many times over the acupuncture, many times he had deeply hurt his grandfather’s heart. Considering the days when he was a child, and how his grandfather cherished him, tears once again slipped from Xiao Yifei’s eyes.
Just four months ago, his grandfather had left this world. He still remembered the last words his grandfather said while holding his hand.
"Feifei, seeing you grow up healthy is all that the Xiao Family could ever hope for."
Xiao Yifei had always been puzzled by what those words meant, but now he finally understood.
