Chapter 10

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The 108 silver needles seemed to come alive, flying in a special trajectory as Ye Chenfeng deftly flicked his fingers.

"What exquisite needle control."

The three white-haired doctors were completely stunned by the scene before them. Despite their decades of medical expertise, they could not control the silver needles with such mastery.

"Genius, this person is definitely a genius in needle techniques."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng's skill, the three white-haired doctors immediately elevated him to their level, and the look of disdain on their faces disappeared.

"I have learned an ancient needle technique from my master. If Lord Bai trusts me, let me give it a try. If not, I will leave immediately." Ye Chenfeng glanced at the three white-haired doctors, who were still in shock, and deliberately fabricated a story about his master.

"I apologize for my earlier rudeness." Bai Jiangshui observed the expressions of the three doctors and concluded that Ye Chenfeng indeed had genuine skills. He immediately stood up and said apologetically, "Please..."

Ye Chenfeng nodded lightly and followed Bai Jiangshui and his daughter Bai Xinya to a two-story wooden building in the backyard. There, they saw Bai Xishan lying on a cold jade bed, his breath as thin as a thread.

From Bai Xishan's appearance, it was clear that one foot was already in the gate of the netherworld, and he could die at any moment.

When Ye Chenfeng took his pulse, he found that Bai Xishan's body was like a large furnace, extremely hot, and his meridians were extremely fragile from the intense heat.

If it weren't for the wealthy Bai family's acquisition of the cold jade bed to suppress the intense heat in Bai Xishan's body and prevent it from erupting, Bai Xishan might have already died.

"Master Chen, is there any hope for my father?" Bai Jiangshui asked nervously as Ye Chenfeng finished taking his pulse.

"If I am not mistaken, your father has been poisoned," Ye Chenfeng said slowly, combining his knowledge of medical techniques.

"Poisoned? That's impossible. My father's injury was caused by a fire-induced mental disorder, wasn't it?" Bai Jiangshui frowned, his doubts about Ye Chenfeng's medical skills resurfacing.

"Lord Bai, have you considered that while the injuries caused by a fire-induced mental disorder are severe, they are not incurable. I heard that you even invited the imperial physician to treat your father, but he could not alleviate his condition."

Ye Chenfeng saw the doubt in Bai Jiangshui's eyes and said calmly.

"That's true. Doctor Xu carefully examined my father's body but could not find the root cause of the illness," Bai Jiangshui nodded.

"That's because the poison your father has is one that Doctor Xu has never seen before, and it has deeply penetrated his bones. If I am not mistaken, your father should have eaten a fire-attribute spirit fruit before he fell ill," Ye Chenfeng deduced, drawing on his soul memories.

"Master Chen is right. My father did indeed eat a Mars Date not long ago. However, the Mars Date was purchased at an auction in the imperial city, so there shouldn't be any problem with it," Bai Jiangshui said without reservation, but his doubts about Ye Chenfeng were dispelled, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart.

"Lord Bai, your father probably swallowed the Mars Date whole, and he also took something else at the same time," Ye Chenfeng deduced.

"Yes, the Mars Date is extremely rare. My father was afraid of damaging its spiritual properties, so he swallowed it whole. After eating the Mars Date, he drank a bottle of Meridian Protection Water to protect his meridians from the heat released by the Mars Date," Bai Jiangshui nodded, now fully trusting Ye Chenfeng's medical skills.

"That's correct. The flesh of the Mars Date is not poisonous, but the core of the Mars Date contains fire poison. When your father drank the Meridian Protection Water, it prevented the fire poison in the core from being expelled through the pores, allowing it to slowly erode his bones and worsen his condition."

"Master Chen, is there any hope for my father?" Bai Jiangshui put aside his dignity as the lord of the city and asked sincerely.

"I will do my best to treat him," Ye Chenfeng said softly. "Stand aside and do not disturb me while I treat him, or the consequences will be on you."

Although fire poison is extremely stubborn and difficult to treat in the secular world, the Heavenly玄 Needle technique that Ye Chenfeng mastered is the nemesis of fire poison.

"Thank you, Master Chen. I entrust my father to you. If you can cure him, my family will certainly reward you generously," Bai Jiangshui said gratefully, standing aside with his charming daughter Bai Xinya.

Ye Chenfeng approached Bai Xishan, released his soul power, and shattered his clothes, revealing a body that was as thin as a skeleton.

Seeing Bai Xishan's emaciated body, Bai Xinya's eyes immediately turned red, and she felt deep pain for her grandfather.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Chenfeng took a deep breath, took out a box of silver needles from his medicine box, and, following the technique of the Heavenly玄 Needle, released his soul power into the tips of each needle. With a light flick of his fingers, the silver needles, as if they had eyes, accurately pierced the acupoints on Bai Xishan's body.

Watching Ye Chenfeng's fluid needle technique, Bai Jiangshui and his daughter widened their eyes in disbelief.

The two were completely awed by Ye Chenfeng's miraculous medical skills.

When the 108 silver needles were inserted into 108 acupoints on Bai Xishan's body, the soul power contained in the needles repeatedly stimulated his acupoints, generating a deep cold that cleared the fire poison from his body.

"There's hope, my father has a chance."

During the process of applying the needles, Bai Jiangshui continuously released his soul power to observe. When he noticed the hot air being expelled through Bai Xishan's pores, he could not help but become excited.

At first, Ye Chenfeng's use of the Heavenly玄 Needle to expel the poison went smoothly, but gradually, the limitation of his soul power became apparent, making it increasingly difficult to control the needles.

But to earn the 100,000 taels of silver offered by the Bai family, Ye Chenfeng gritted his teeth and persevered, continuously injecting soul power into the 108 silver needles, forming a pure cold that dispelled the fire poison.

After about an hour, the cold jade bed beneath Bai Xishan was corroded by the fire poison, and the fire poison in his body was almost completely cleared.

"Phew, almost done. The fire poison in Old Lord Bai's body is almost completely cleared."

Ye Chenfeng, nearly exhausted, removed the 108 silver needles, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly.

"Is the fire poison really gone so quickly?" Bai Jiangshui raised an eyebrow, unable to believe it.

The fire poison that the imperial physician could not expel, Ye Chenfeng had cleared in just over an hour, which left Bai Jiangshui in disbelief.

"Your father should wake up by tomorrow. If you don't believe me, you can have the three doctors outside examine your father to see if I am lying," the exhausted Ye Chenfeng said weakly, leaning on the bed.

"Alright, then please rest in the side room for a moment, Master Chen."

To be cautious, Bai Jiangshui had Bai Xinya help Ye Chenfeng to rest, while he went to call the three doctors to examine Bai Xishan's body.
