Shopkeeper Zhou watched from the side with an inquisitive and extremely worried expression, and in the light of the candle, he could see glittering and translucent beads of sweat on the snow-white skin of the young man. His heart inevitably jumped, so he picked up a clean sheet and tried to pass it, "Clean your sweat first, then take a short break."
Who would have thought that Hexi did not hear her voice, and when she felt sweat slide down and block her gaze, she simply raised her hand and wiped the sweat away, then continued her movements.
Shopkeeper Zhou hesitated for a moment before withdrawing his hand, his gaze focused on the young man's serious face as he carried out the treatment, his attention not being sidetracked for a moment.
However, from the watching crowd, the dazed shopkeeper Zhou, and the busy Hexi, none of them realized that they were being watched. Diagonally across from Sheng De's hall position, on the street, there was a pair of shining eyes watching over Hexi through a half-opened window, eyes filled with burning scrutiny.

In the time it took to burn an incense stick, the entire body of the unconscious young man had been pierced by hundreds of needles, causing him to look like a translucent hedgehog under the light of the setting sun.
Initially, the young man was still unconscious, his breathing and heartbeat weak. But half an hour later, after more needles were inserted into his body, painful moans rang out from the young man's mouth. His entire body was unceasingly sweating, so in the time it took to let out a short breath, he had completely wet the mat of plain white cloth beneath his body.
The faces of everyone who had originally displayed contempt and ridicule, slowly turned into expressions of overwhelming disbelief.
This young man who was originally quiet like a dead man actually started to make noises, and when the Silver Needle pierced his veins, his face also showed an expression of pain!
How...how can it be? Hasn't his meridian been cut off? How could he still feel the stimulation from his vascular network?
Could it be .. could it be that this beautiful young man was not just talking big? He really knew the method to cure the sick?
The skin of Doctor Xie and shopkeeper Qin grew worse as the moans of the young man increased, gradually becoming paler. Shopkeeper Qin felt a cold aura being emitted from physician Xie's body, and he tightly clenched his hands as his hands trembled in fear and dismay.
Then after that, doctor Xie's face as a third rank physician could be placed where? Doctor Xie would be furious from embarrassment, so how could he be released when it involved himself as well?
Right now, Hexi had already started pulling the Silver Needle from the young man's body one by one.
With a hundred and eight Silver Needles, the strength and sequence to release each needle was different. This long process was as time-consuming as placing a needle to begin with, everyone watching started holding their breath, not even anyone dared to open their mouth to speak.
Finally, all the Silver Needles had been removed.
The young man lying on the long table let out a long groan, as soon as he slowly opened his eyes.
The light stung her eyes, making warm tears flow down her cheeks. With a hazy look, he could only see a handsome face with a pair of cold and deep eyes, like a cold lake.
Just as a traveler who had crawled through the desert for seven days and seven nights suddenly found water, the sweet drops of the spring were filled with confidence and hope.
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak yet feeling powerless to do so, so he instead closed his eyes, the face and smell of Hexi was engraved firmly in his mind.
After Hexi put away all of her Stomach Needles, she took the pulse of the young man to make sure that he was fine, only then to feel relieved and faintly said, "She will be fine now."
Everyone's faces showed expressions of disbelief.
Even without waiting for people to recover, physician Xie immediately stepped forward with large strides, using his spiritual energy to examine the young man's body.
