"Old man, it's my fault. As Xiao Yi's attending doctor, I didn't discover this third toxin. But please rest assured, although this third toxin is insidious, it is not fatal. Healing might just take a bit longer." Xiao Yifei said apologetically.

The master of the Mu Residence waved his hand. When he heard that Muyun had fainted again, he was somewhat skeptical. After all, Xiao Yifei's medical skill was considered top-notch, and if he couldn't save Muyun, then Muyun would practically be condemned to death.

"Young friend Xiao Yifei, no need to blame yourself. Such a mixture of three toxins is rare, and the last toxin is hidden so deeply that it's understandable it wasn't discovered immediately. As long as Yun'er isn't in mortal danger, it's not a big issue. You mentioned prolonged recuperation; how long would that be?" the old man asked.

Xiao Yifei sighed and said, "That's what I'm worried about. It's only a few days from National Day, and I had hoped Muyun would recover by then, but this situation is like adding insult to injury. His weak body has been hit hard once again, and it will take at least half a year to properly recuperate. Even reaching the point where he can get out of bed will take over a month."

The old man was silent for a while after hearing this. Normally, postponing the inheritance timeline wouldn't be a big deal, but yesterday's news was too troubling, and all factions are eyeing National Day to ascertain Muyun's fate.

Proposing a delay in inheritance today would unavoidably invite attacks from some with ulterior motives and could collapse Mu Residence's years of high-level operations. If high-level support is lost, Mu Residence will lose its strength.

Xiao Yifei is well aware of the implications. However, the poison has indeed dealt a blow to Muyun's body that is not something that can be remedied quickly unless some rare and precious items are used to forcibly recover his damaged meridians.

"Old man, don't worry yet. There's still a chance for the inheritance on National Day not to be postponed," Xiao Yifei said.

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up. Since Xiao Yifei dared to say so, he must have some confidence. "Young friend Xiao Yifei, it seems Mu Residence owes you another favor."

"Old man, please don't say that. This situation is indeed due to my oversight. Muyun can now use rare artifacts to restore his damaged meridians. Although it won't fully recover by then, he can persist in getting out of bed for a while," Xiao Yifei said.

"Oh? Do you know what kind of rare artifacts have such effects? Tell me the names, and I'll use all my connections to find them." The old man was excited upon hearing that such issues could be solved with rare artifacts. For a large family, anything solvable with money is not a problem.

"Coincidentally, our Mu Residence has a treasury. It may not contain all the world's treasures, but it's quite abundant. Shall I take you to see if we can find anything?" the old man continued.

Xiao Yifei shook his head; their Mu Residence's treasury indeed doesn't have it because it's a secret belonging to the sanctuary.

"Don't worry, old man. The item is called the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle," Xiao Yifei responded.

"Butler, bring the account book of the treasury and check if there's anything called the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle," the old man immediately instructed the nearby butler.

Xiao Yifei did not stop him, as it's indeed appropriate for the family head to be confident in a family's possessions. So he did not dispirit the old man. As expected, their treasure vault did not contain the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle.

After hearing this news, the old man's eyes dimmed a bit. He was aware of the vastness of Mu Residence's treasury, and if it didn't have the item, finding it outside wouldn't be a matter of a day or two.

Seeing the old man worry, Xiao Yifei shook his head; it's anxiety causing disorder. Muyun is indeed critically important to Mu Residence and even the country.

"Old man, don't worry. I have the item, and it can be retrieved in two days. I can't explain everything, but it involves the Lin Family of the Seven Ancient Clans," Xiao Yifei smiled.

"So it's related to the Ancient Clans, no wonder. If it's something from the Ancient Clans, it's indeed hard to procure. But if it's from the Xiao Family among them, how can you get it easily? Could you be a descendant of the Xiao Family?" The old man mused.

"I'm indeed a not-so-talented descendant of the Xiao Family," Xiao Yifei bowed.

"No wonder. I should have thought of it earlier. Your medical skill and insight can only be nurtured there." The old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Then, does the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle need to be retrieved from your Xiao Family's ancestral land?" The old man thought of something and suddenly frowned.

"Yes, the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle is essentially my private possession, so don't worry, old man. I will set off to retrieve it immediately." Xiao Yifei smiled; this matter indeed stems from his fault, so he must make the trip, and he has another purpose for retrieving the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle.

"Then, I'll be off first; it will take about two days round trip, old man don't worry." Xiao Yifei bid farewell to the old man and set off for the Xiao Family ancestral land.

A day later, at the Xiao Family ancestral land.

"This journey is not smooth; you must be extremely cautious. All families harbor malicious intent. Keep quiet and don't act rashly. That Muyun is a promising seedling; protect him well, maybe he can end many years of conflict."

"Yes, I'm also planning to use the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle to help Muyun."

Xiao Yifei did not stay long at the Xiao Family ancestral land. He retrieved the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle and hurried back to Mu Residence.

Upon arriving at Mu Residence, Xiao Yifei immediately used his skills on Muyun, using the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle as a medium to forcibly repair vast amounts of damaged meridians. After two hours of operation, Xiao Yifei was already sweating profusely, but the effects were obvious; Muyun's complexion was no longer pale, but rosy.

This feeling was deemed a miracle, causing the old man watching to click his tongue in wonder.

"Nephew, the effect of your Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle truly opens old man's eyes. If it wasn't something that not everyone could use, old man would want to snatch one from you," the old man smacked his lips.

"Hehe, don't belittle me; the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle not only requires deep foundation but also a substantial understanding of acupuncture to use. Otherwise, it's for healing with me, but in others' hands, it's a lethal weapon." Xiao Yifei laughed.

"Moreover, the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle is not limited to this effect. I'll explain further once Muyun is settled." Though Xiao Yifei spoke lightly, his hands didn't stop.

At this time, Muyun felt as hot as fire, and the effect of the Eye-closing Silver Tail Needle was as if he was placed in endless molten lava. Although his body was scorching, he didn't feel uncomfortable; in fact, he felt his strength slowly recovering, and his consciousness gradually awakening.
