Chapter 370: Chapter 373: Acupuncture

People often use the phrase "so light that a gust of wind could blow them away" to describe someone’s frailty. Applied to Qian Fuchen, it was hardly an exaggeration at all.

When Qian Fuyu saw the thinness of Qian Fuchen’s body after he removed his clothes, his eyes immediately welled up with tears. It was at this moment that he understood the immense struggles and sheer willpower his third brother had endured over the years to support the Qian Family.

Even Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma sighed deeply and, feeling somewhat distressed, turned their heads away.

Xiao Yi’s expression remained unchanged as he scanned over him. After checking his pulse again carefully, he took a deep breath, and as if performing a magic trick, seven acupuncture needles of varying lengths suddenly appeared in his hand, his eyes reflecting a determined resolve.

From the moment he had first seen Qian Fuchen, he had almost felt that his illness, if it were to be treated, would likely require the Seven Needles Technique. After taking his pulse, he was utterly certain that the condition and internal state of Qian Fuchen were even more severe than he had anticipated and that nothing less than the Seven Needles could save him! Any last shred of hope he had to take it easy had completely vanished.

Well then, it was a good opportunity to test how the Seven Needles Technique would fare after reaching the Condensation period.

Xiao Yi clenched his teeth inwardly, his gaze intensified, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the seven uneven needles as if guided by an invisible string, shot out from his fingertips, each aiming at different parts of Qian Fuchen’s body on the bed from various angles and speeds.

The people who had been watching Xiao Yi closely, ready to observe his treatment process, were shocked by his move, their faces jolted, and their eyes nearly popped out.

Some of the nurses and staff prepared by the hospital thought they were hallucinating, rubbing their eyes vigorously before looking again. Upon seeing the needles slowly advancing toward Qian Fuchen’s body, they couldn’t help but reveal a look of utter astonishment.

Even Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma, who had already witnessed the magic of Xiao Yi’s acupuncture, could not help but show a look of disbelief.

If the seven needles had been thrown out simultaneously at Qian Fuchen, that wouldn’t have been anything extraordinary, but the fact that each needle moved at a different speed and gently targeted the body was truly miraculous!

Even if there were fine threads attached to each needle, which would be difficult to detect and withstand the force, what their eyes saw was that there were no threads tied to the needles.

This... was practically comparable to magic!

Could this be the legendary highest realm of using the Qi move Needle?

Elder Mr. Ma, who had personally experienced Xiao Yi’s Needle Technique and knew Xiao Yi was adept with the Qi Needle, was deeply shaken. He speculated to himself with a profound look in his eyes as he gazed at Xiao Yi. Once again, he felt that this young man was extraordinary.

"Sigh"

It was only after Xiao Yi let out a long breath that everyone suddenly snapped out of it, as if waking from a dream, and remembered that there was one person performing acupuncture on Qian Fuchen, one acupuncturist.

When everyone’s gaze fell upon Xiao Yi and they clearly saw his appearance, each person’s face involuntarily revealed a look of shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Xiao Yi had completely lost his previous calm and collected demeanor. His clothes were thoroughly soaked, as though he had just been through a heavy rain. His not-so-long hair was still dripping with moisture, clinging tightly to his head. He looked as if he had just fled back from a heavy downpour, an image of utter disarray.

What was even more surprising was the indescribable look of fatigue that they had never seen before on his face.
