Not only this, but Qin Fang also lifted the blanket stitched together from Yong Beast Hide and grabbed the old man's wrist that was gradually becoming cold.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone was baffled by Qin Fang's move, none understood what he was attempting to do, just silently watching him, only Sang Duo, the old man's son, suddenly let out a great shout, roaring as he drew the Miao Knife he carried and charged towards Qin Fang with a slashing motion.

The mountain people might be somewhat uncivilized and not well-versed in many formalities, but filial piety was universal; since the mother had passed away, it meant 'the dead should be respected as supreme,' and no one was permitted to touch her so easily again, lest it be a desecration of the deceased...

He was unaware of Qin Fang's identity; the situation had been too urgent before and Auntie Song had no chance to explain in detail. Now that this had occurred, he certainly wasn't going to be courteous to Qin Fang.

Clang~~

However, Sang Duo had just taken a step when a figure flickered beside him, followed immediately by the clear sound of something falling; his Miao Knife had hit the ground.

As for Sang Duo himself, he was clutching his wrist, looking astonished at Song Qingshan who had positioned himself in front.

Although he knew that this young man was trying to stop him to protect Qin Fang, he was still amazed by the youth's strength.

Despite his old age, as the former number one warrior of the Nayi Tribe, his strength was considerable. Even now, the wild animals he hunted were among the most numerous in the tribe.

But he, who could easily fight wild animals, felt utterly powerless against this young man, which truly horrified him.

"Auntie, the elder... hasn't passed away yet..."

At this moment, Qin Fang finally spoke up on his side.

Yet, as soon as he did, he nearly scared everyone to death...

"Not dead?"

Sang Duo was immediately stunned, turning to look at his wife, from whom he originally received the news.

"Is mother really not dead? She's no longer breathing..."

Sang Duo's wife was also surprised; she had verified it carefully before confirming this fact. She had learned a bit of basic medical arts following the witch doctor, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so assured.

"Xiao Qin, what exactly is going on?"

Auntie Song had finally regained some composure and immediately asked with great urgency.

Although her sister-in-law's medical arts were only half-baked, determining whether a person was dead or alive was still within her capabilities. From their perspective, the elder had no breath, no heartbeat, and her body was gradually getting colder.

With the situation looking like this, it was quite difficult for them to accept that the elder was still alive.

It wasn't that they wished for the elder to truly be dead, but rather they didn't want her body desecrated after her passing.

Although Auntie Song had lived outside the mountain for more than twenty years, many of the old mountain ideas still prevailed, particularly the utmost importance placed upon the deceased's body.

"Auntie, I've learned a bit of medical arts, I can't be wrong..."

Qin Fang had no choice but to explain in such manner, to be precise, what he had learned was acupuncture techniques, and his knowledge of the medical arts was indeed very limited.

However, this didn't prevent him from making a judgment on the elder's condition, because he possessed the heaven-defying special skill called Scouting Skill.

To Qin Fang, the difference between the living and the dead was very clear.

A dead person has lost their life force, so the Life Points data representing them would have completely disappeared, becoming an inanimate object; Qin Fang could even freely place the corpse inside his Props Box.

The living still possess the breath of life, and Qin Fang could see their Life Points, yet the elderly man before him still retained Life Points, albeit extremely weak now, on the verge of complete extinction.

"Mom, Qin Fang studied medicine in Ninghai under Professor Ma, who is a renowned doctor in the country…"

However, regarding Qin Fang's explanation, Auntie Song was still somewhat puzzled and was about to ask again when Wen Yan tugged at her own mother and said.

Elder Ma, a Medical Grandmaster, had a significant reputation. Although Wen Yan was not in the medical field, she had taken related elective courses, and her teacher, who could be considered a disciple of Elder Ma, had mentioned Elder Ma's name.

Having spent time with Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue, Wen Yan was aware of many things about Qin Fang, including his possession of the Acupuncture Secret Technique—though they all believed it was passed down from Medical Grandmaster Elder Ma.

"Really? Xiao Qin, can you really cure my mother?"

Although uncertain about who Professor Ma was, seeing the confidence in her daughter's words, coupled with concern for her mother, she immediately asked with great anxiety.

Sang Duo and his wife also dared not say anything at this point and were also looking at Qin Fang very nervously.

"I just examined the elderly woman's body, and a complete cure is nearly impossible. She is of old age, with all bodily functions having deteriorated. All I can do now is to first wake her and then slowly recuperate her health..."

As Qin Fang helplessly spoke, he flicked his wrist and several silver needles appeared in his hands. With a shake of his arm, the old woman sat up abruptly.

Qin Fang's hands moved rapidly, and his entire being shifted with haste; in the blink of an eye, the old woman's frail body was pierced with no fewer than twenty or thirty silver needles.

Everyone was astonished by Qin Fang's technique, and no one thought about where all these silver needles had come from...

Everyone held their breath, and even Song Qingshan, who was unrelated to the matter, was no exception; all eagerly awaited the arrival of a miracle, their eyes fixed on the silver needles.

Once the silver needles were in place, Qin Fang could clearly see the old woman's Life Points slowly recovering. Although it was only a tiny bit, it was still far better than a moment ago, when they were nearly extinguished.

"Ah ha..."

Accompanied by a roar from Qin Fang, who had fully mobilized his body's power, his hands seemed to transform into countless palms, continuously moving and twisting upon each silver needle...

His speed was incredibly fast, and the rhythm incredibly forceful. If the silver needles could make a sound, this rhythm would undoubtedly be even more fearsome than a commanding drumbeat.

Qin Fang's speed grew faster and faster, nearly surpassing the limit that human eyes could handle.

Those watching Qin Fang felt their eyes sting, yet dared not miss a single detail; they all awaited the miracle.

Qin Fang's needle technique was in motion, his powerful True Qi rapidly depleting, sweat beads forming on his forehead.

"One Needle Revival!"

Finally, with a loud shout from Qin Fang, he suddenly slapped the Baihui Acupoint on the old woman's head. The dozens of silver needles embedded in her body seemed compressed by a powerful force and instantly shot out, creating a crisp tinkling sound as they struck the ground and walls—Qin Fang himself quickly dodged out of the way.

Sang Duo had been watching Qin Fang's actions intently, his eyes fixed on his mother's body, but when he saw Qin Fang strike his mother's head like that, he was almost instinctively enraged.

Yet before he could burst into anger, his eyes widened in shock.

"She moved! She moved... My mother's hand moved!"

Sang Duo had been paying close attention, not willing to miss a single detail. Now that Qin Fang had completed his task, his anticipation was heightened, and finally, he saw his mother's fingers twitch ever so slightly—a minute movement.

Such a subtle change, however, was captured by him, and he shouted excitedly, almost as if he had won the ultimate prize or like a gambler hitting the jackpot... nearly driven to madness with ecstasy.
