These words startled the old man, sending chills down his spine.
"How could this happen!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
The old man said anxiously.
"Grandpa, even if I had told you, what difference would it have made?"
"It would have only added another burden!"
The old man was in a panic, unsure of what to do.
"My dear child, you absolutely cannot give up. At worst, I'll put aside my pride and ask the most skilled alchemy master from the Dan Sect to examine you again!"
"I'll have them provide some elixirs. As long as there's a sliver of hope, I won't give up!"
Seeing her grandfather's concern and plans for her, the young woman felt a pang of sadness and became conflicted once more.
Ultimately, familial love triumphed. The young woman spoke again.
"Grandpa, I was being foolish before. From now on, I won't worry you anymore!" "I will definitely take my medicine properly!"
The old man replied, immensely pleased.
"My dear child, you are the only reason I wish to remain in this world. If you were gone, what meaning would there be in my life?"
"I might as well join you!"
Ye Fei calmly sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and watched the touching family scene unfold.
"Truly moving!"
Ye Fei exclaimed.
He then continued.
"Honestly, you have no need to worry. While the poison in her body is potent, it's far from incurable!"
Seeing Ye Fei casually sitting in his seat, drinking tea and eating pastries without any reservation, the old man scoffed.
"Young man, do not speak nonsense. Are you perhaps an alchemy master?"
To his surprise, Ye Fei directly affirmed.
"You could not be more correct!"
"I am indeed proficient in the art of alchemy!"
"If you are willing, I can examine her."
"Let me be clear, this opportunity is singular. Once missed, you will only be able to sigh in regret!"
The old man paid no mind to Ye Fei's words, believing him to be merely boasting.
However, the young woman in the wheelchair felt a stir within her. Remembering Ye Fei had seen through her use of potent medicine at a glance, a flicker of hope ignited.
What if?
What if he was telling the truth?
The young woman then turned her wheelchair to Ye Fei's side and asked.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Are you truly confident you can cure me?"
Ye Fei was somewhat surprised that she chose to believe him.
However, his tone became more serious.
"Of course!"
"Since I dare to say it, I am undoubtedly confident!"
"If you are willing to trust me, I will give it my all!"
The young woman gazed into Ye Fei's eyes for several moments. Seeing no hint of hesitation, she finally decided.
"In that case, I will trust you this once!"
"If you deceive me, my grandfather will not spare you!"
Seeing his granddaughter believe such a young fellow, the old man hurriedly intervened.
"My dear child, you must not believe him!"
"You don't know, he belongs to the same sect as the man I captured earlier!"
"He is here to save his senior brother this time!"
"Think about it, how could a disciple of the Wu Zong sect know alchemy? Do not be fooled by his handsome face!"
The old man pleaded earnestly.
However, the young woman, clinging to her last straw of hope, was unwilling to give up so easily.
"Grandpa, this time, please let me make my own decision!"
"With you here, he wouldn't dare to deceive me, would he?"
"If you are worried, you can just stay by his side!"
After much persuasion, the old man finally agreed to let Ye Fei treat his granddaughter.
Once Ye Fei entered his work mode, he was a stark contrast to his previously nonchalant demeanor.
"Let me state this upfront, my treatment methods will differ significantly from others."
"Please do not interrupt my treatment process rashly, lest you cause irreparable consequences. Have you all understood?"
After speaking, Ye Fei retrieved the silver needle package he had crafted from his Qiankun bag.
"This is my silver needle package for acupuncture. I will be inserting needles into her crown and calves. If you can accept this unique treatment plan, nod your heads!"
Ye Fei said again.
Though the old man had lived many years, this was his first time witnessing such a treatment method, and he immediately felt it was unreliable.
Just as he was about to refuse, he received a pleading look from his granddaughter and softened.
He did not intervene.
Seeing the young woman's agreement, Ye Fei had her sit on a stool and placed his hand on her wrist.
He then began to examine her.
Upon examination, Ye Fei discovered her condition was indeed dire. Her meridians were completely blocked.
Even her internal organs had been corroded by the toxins. Soon, her life force would be extinguished, and even a divine being would be powerless to save her.
After his examination, Ye Fei finally opened his eyes and said with a frown.
"Her condition is indeed not good!"
"Her meridians are all blocked, and her internal organs have suffered varying degrees of corrosion. If she hadn't met me, she would have at most ten days to live!"
Following that, Ye Fei lifted the young woman's trouser leg, revealing her emaciated and withered calf.
"No!"
Despite the young woman's strenuous objections, she ultimately couldn't resist Ye Fei.
She resigned herself to her fate, allowing him to proceed.
Her calf was already blackened, a truly horrifying sight.
Upon witnessing this, the old man's face contorted in shock. He had never imagined his granddaughter's condition to be so critical!
However, the old man's granddaughter appeared calm, likely already aware of her own physical state.
"Young hero, do you have any remedies to save her?"
The old man now placed all his hopes on Ye Fei.
"Don't rush, of course I have a way!"
"However, her condition is extremely severe!"
"Therefore, I must treat her in stages."
"The first step is to use acupuncture to clear her meridians, so she won't suffer painful sleepless nights."
"The second step is for her to take a nourishing elixir."
"Finally, I will refine a Qingxu Dan to purge the poison from her body."
"This way, after a period of rest, she will fully recover!"
Ye Fei stated with certainty.
At this moment, both the old man and his granddaughter had begun to trust Ye Fei.
Thus, the grandfather and granddaughter spoke in unison.
"We believe you!"
The old man then added.
"Young hero, just proceed with your work!"
"As long as you do your best, the outcome will be up to fate!"
Ye Fei confidently replied.
