Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Taiyi Divine Needle Technique

The Xiao family residence.

Xiao Yufei’s bedroom.

Xiao Yufei lay there, her eyes shut tight and her face pale. Covered by a thin blanket, her figure seemed lonely and desolate.

A white-haired old man sat by the bed, taking Xiao Yufei’s pulse. He then lifted her eyelids to examine them before standing up. He looked back at Xiao Gang and Lan Yazhi, shook his head, and said with a sigh:

"She’s no longer breathing. It’s time to prepare for her final rites."

As soon as Lan Yazhi heard this, she ran over crying, hugging Xiao Yufei and wailing, "My child, you can’t leave! If you’re gone, how am I supposed to live? Wake up, please wake up! WAHHH..."

Lan Yazhi was quickly reduced to a sobbing mess.

Xiao Gang, standing nearby, felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. His body swayed violently. The next moment, he looked at the white-haired elder and cried out urgently, "Divine Doctor Liu, that can’t be! She was perfectly fine before dinner. How could she just be... gone?"

The white-haired elder shook his head and sighed. "The girl’s heart meridians were blocked, leading to cardiac arrest. There’s no sign of life left. She’s truly beyond saving."

Lan Yazhi spun around and dropped to her knees with a THUD before the white-haired elder. She kowtowed repeatedly, crying, "Divine Doctor Liu, I’m begging you, please save Yufei! Please! We’re willing to pay any price if you can save her!"

The white-haired elder quickly reached out to help Lan Yazhi up, shaking his head and sighing. "As a doctor, I want to save the patient more than you do. But she is truly beyond saving. It’s not just me; any doctor who came would be powerless to do anything."

Lan Yazhi let out a miserable shriek and collapsed into heart-wrenching sobs.

But just then, a calm voice sounded from the doorway. "Who told you that any doctor who came would be powerless to do anything?"

As the voice faded, Ye Feng strode into the room.

The white-haired elder looked at Ye Feng and started to explain, "The patient no longer has any vital signs. Truly, not even the gods could save her..."

But halfway through his sentence, his expression turned cold. He glared at Ye Feng and said icily, "What obligation do I have to explain anything to you? Who do you think you are?"

Ye Feng, however, paid him no mind. He looked at the weeping Lan Yazhi and said gently, "Auntie, Yufei isn’t dead. I can bring her back..."

The moment Ye Feng’s words fell, the white-haired elder beside them exploded in fury. He glared at Ye Feng and roared, "I’ve been practicing medicine for decades! Do you think I can’t tell if someone is dead or alive? How dare you question my diagnosis! Who the hell do you think you are?"

But Ye Feng ignored him completely. He walked straight to Xiao Yufei’s bedside, took out a needle pouch, and picked out a silver needle, preparing to treat her!

Seeing Ye Feng’s utter disregard for him, the old man trembled with rage. He rushed forward, blocking Ye Feng’s path with his arm, and roared furiously:

"I said the patient is gone! Are you deaf?"

Xiao Gang, standing to the side, quickly said to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, this is the Sacred Hand of Medicine, Divine Doctor Liu Wentao. He’s ranked tenth on the Great Xia Country’s List of Sacred Hands of Medicine. His medical skills are superb. If he says Yufei can’t be saved, then it must be true. Please, don’t cause any more trouble!"

The white-haired elder, Liu Wentao, looked at Ye Feng and spoke with arrogance:

"Now you know who I am, don’t you? You won’t be questioning my diagnosis any longer, will you..."

But as soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Feng raised a hand and pushed him aside, saying coldly:

"Get lost."

Without another word to him, Ye Feng flicked his hand, sending a cluster of silver needles flying. In the blink of an eye, all forty-nine needles had pierced Xiao Yufei’s major acupoints!

He raised his right hand and placed it over the ends of the needles, channeling a pure stream of Inner Strength through them.

Stimulated by the Inner Strength, the ends of the needles began to tremble ceaselessly, emitting a low hum.

Pushed aside, Liu Wentao staggered backward and fell, landing flat on his bottom. His face was ashen with fury!

Seeing this, Xiao Gang rushed over to help Liu Wentao up, quickly explaining, "Divine Doctor Liu, the young man doesn’t know any better. He’s impulsive. For my sake, please don’t hold it against him!"

Liu Wentao was about to lose his mind. As a giant in the field of traditional medicine, a figure on the List of Sacred Hands of Medicine, his skills were revered. Everywhere he went, he was met with the utmost respect.

Forget laying a hand on him; even raising one’s voice to him was considered a grave offense.

Liu Wentao had grown accustomed to being worshipped, to that feeling of being high and mighty. But today, at the hands of Ye Feng, he had been utterly humiliated. This wasn’t just a lack of respect—this was a direct slap in the face!

This was utterly intolerable!

He glared at Xiao Gang, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "You want to take the fall for him? I’m telling you, you can’t handle it."

"I’m not letting this little bastard off the hook today. He’s going to kneel, kowtow, and apologize to me. Otherwise, I will make absolutely sure he has no future in the medical world."

With that, he spun around and glared viciously at Ye Feng. But when he saw Ye Feng’s acupuncture technique, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning!

Xiao Gang didn’t see Liu Wentao’s reaction. He just knew that Ye Feng had well and truly offended Liu Wentao today.

Offending such a heavyweight could truly get Ye Feng blacklisted with a single word.

Not wanting to see Ye Feng suffer such a fate, he hurried over to him and said:

"Ye Feng, how could you question Divine Doctor Liu’s diagnosis? How could you push him? You’ve really gone too far this time. Hurry up and apologize to Divine Doctor Liu and ask for his forgiveness! Otherwise, you’re going to be in big trouble."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liu Wentao rush over, push him aside, and stare intently at the hand Ye Feng was using to perform the acupuncture, shouting excitedly:

"The Taiyi Divine Needle! That’s the Taiyi Divine Needle technique!"

Shoved aside, Xiao Gang staggered back, nearly falling to the ground. He looked up at Liu Wentao, at his flabbergasted and erratic behavior, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. ’What is wrong with him? Has he lost his mind?’
