Chapter 974 - 966: The Lost Medical Skill
The needle used for acupuncture was also somewhat different from the usual ones, which was probably why it became a treasured item of the Xiao Family!
Xiao Yifei had long since mastered the technique of using the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. He had seen his grandfather using this technique to save lives countless times. Now that he held the true Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, it felt somewhat surreal.
When someone longs for something too intensely, the realization of that desire can instead feel unreal. Xiao Yifei felt like this now, his hands trembling slightly as he held the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. He calmed himself down, reminding himself not to disgrace himself at this moment, thinking how he was also a heir to the Xiao Family’s medical skills.
Xiao Yifei instructed Little Stone to take off his clothes and lie flat on the bed, then began treating Little Stone using the Xiao Family’s unique acupuncture technique. As he looked at Little Stone’s body, he inserted the needle one by one.
The needles went in deep and shallow, sometimes stabbing, sometimes flicking. Eighteen needles in succession, quickly inserted and quickly withdrawn. There was no pause; it was like a magic show. Xiao Yifei didn’t spend any time searching for acupoints, as they were all imprinted in his mind, requiring no extra glance.
Liu Bailong and Liu Rui watched from the side, dazzled by Xiao Yifei’s fast-paced moves. Before they could see clearly how he managed the last needle, Xiao Yifei had almost completed the acupuncture. No effects were visible yet, but in a few hours, the results would be clear.
Liu Bailong, who had seen much of the world, felt that the acupuncture technique Xiao Yifei used just now seemed familiar, but Xiao Yifei’s movements were too quick for him to see clearly. If he watched a few more times, he would surely recognize it.
"Does your family practice medicine for generations?" Liu Bailong asked.
"More or less. My ancestors were quite well-known in the medical field, but by my generation, the ancestral medical skills have somewhat fallen into disuse," Xiao Yifei replied modestly.
Looking at the young doctor before him, Liu Bailong thought to himself, this is indeed a talent, being so skilled at such a young age. Then he suddenly realized that Xiao Yifei might be one of the successors of the Shennong Sect.
