In recent days, while Qianxi was resisting the enemy, the various small countries around Huaxia began deploying troops toward Huaxia, as if they had prearranged it. In a short time, Huaxia was beset on all sides. Huaxia, which could handle a single small country with ease, suddenly found the situation becoming quite severe with so many.

Conflicts erupted everywhere, but Qianxi couldn't break away. Without resolving the enemies on the frontlines, Qianxi dared not leave casually. However, there was a person even more formidable than Qianxi on the frontline. Just when Qianxi didn't know what to do, someone approached him.

Xiao Yifei, far away in prison, was listening to the discussions among the prison guards these days, and his expression grew increasingly grim. Especially when he heard that the small countries surrounding Huaxia were joining in the chaos, Xiao Yifei realized those nations must have coordinated in advance.

At that moment, Liu Bailong urged Xiao Yifei not to hesitate any longer, urging him to administer acupuncture to Ci Xin. Though Ci Xin remained elusive, he was still a Huaxia citizen. The notion of national ruin was something Ci Xin surely understood.

Indeed, just as Liu Bailong anticipated, when the countries launched massive assaults, Ci Xin too approached Xiao Yifei, asking him to perform acupuncture. Ci Xin discovered that every nation seemed prepared in advance, and in each country's army, there was at least one expert possessing the Golden Elixir.

Initially, they appeared few, but when added up, the numbers became considerable. However, Huaxia only had so many experts with the Golden Elixir, leading to gaps in coverage. These uncovered areas faced resistance challenges. Therefore, Ci Xin had to break through to the Golden Elixir stage, even for the sake of the nation.

After hearing Ci Xin's reasons, Xiao Yifei gritted his teeth and then agreed. Currently, Xiao Yifei was betting on whether Ci Xin would feel a sense of responsibility towards the nation. If he did, it would mean Xiao Yifei's gamble paid off. But if Ci Xin's heart was only set on the secret of the Bronze Gate, the country would face doom.

But now, Xiao Yifei had no choice but to take a gamble. In any case, Ci Xin was chosen as the daughter-in-law by Hua Lao, so he ought to trust Hua Lao's judgment, right? Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei eventually agreed. However, before proceeding, Xiao Yifei requested Liu Bailong's release and the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle.

Ci Xin, eager for Xiao Yifei to perform acupuncture for him, agreed without much hesitation. Thus, Xiao Yifei was released, along with Liu Bailong. Afterward, Ci Xin led Xiao Yifei to a room, indicating that this would be his seclusion chamber.

The room was simple. Without thinking much, Xiao Yifei began preparing. Seeing the complete set of the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles, Xiao Yifei felt a tinge of emotion. After all these events, those needles finally landed in his hands.

However, it wasn't the time for sentimentality. Grasping the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, Xiao Yifei closed his eyes. After a breath, he suddenly opened them, then plunged the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle into Ci Xin's back. As the needle embedded, Ci Xin let out a muffled groan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and inserted the remaining Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles into Ci Xin's back. Although Xiao Yifei had seen the technique before, this was his first time executing it, so he wasn't exactly natural at it.

Despite the unfamiliarity, Xiao Yifei was still able to complete it. Following the acupuncture technique's record, Xiao Yifei began employing the Xiao Clan's One Hundred and Eight Needles technique. As Xiao Yifei's method changed, cold sweat started flowing down Ci Xin's forehead.

Moreover, Xiao Yifei faintly felt Threads of True Qi emerging from the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. Observing the fierce momentum of this True Qi, Lin Xiaoyifei was slightly astonished because compared to Qianxi, this True Qi was far superior. Surely, someone who had cultivated for so many years was slightly superior to younger generations.

However, very soon, Xiao Yifei noticed something amiss. The amount of True Qi exuding from Ci Xin was abnormal. So Xiao Yifei checked Ci Xin's complexion, noticing it was exceptionally grim and painful. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei felt a sinking feeling.

He examined his acupuncture technique carefully, finding no issues, so he was puzzled about the situation. The situation was indeed urgent because if Xiao Yifei made a mistake, Ci Xin might suffer a deviation, which would indeed create huge trouble.

Hence, Xiao Yifei carefully inspected Ci Xin's internal condition, noticing everything else was normal except for the heart, which appeared somewhat dark. Realizing this, Xiao Yifei immediately understood. Ci Xin's volatile temper would cause frequent anger, and naturally, the internal fire accumulated.

This stimulus today made Ci Xin's anger rush to his heart immediately, causing problems. But once Xiao Yifei understood the cause, he felt more at ease. As long as the situation was clear, there must be a solution. The worst part would be not knowing what the issue was.

Hence, Xiao Yifei adjusted his acupuncture methods urgently, first eradicating the fire poison from Ci Xin's body before helping him breakthrough to the Golden Elixir stage. Xiao Yifei had considered using the same method he used for treating Qianxi to eliminate the cultivation technique's side effects for Ci Xin. However, due to Ci Xin's years of practice, Xiao Yifei dared not attempt it recklessly, so he opted for the most stable approach.

The fire poison was rather simple for Xiao Yifei. By inserting the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle into several cool acupoints in Ci Xin's body, the fire poison, along with a cooling sensation, dissipated. Ci Xin, too, felt less pain from the cooling sensation, and his complexion improved significantly.

After a while, Xiao Yifei had thoroughly completed the task of removing the fire poison and continued with the work to assist Ci Xin's breakthrough. A long while later, Xiao Yifei slowly extracted the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needles from Ci Xin's body and then exhaled a breath of foul air.

At this time, Ci Xin still had his eyes closed, but Xiao Yifei could sense that Ci Xin's entire aura had a slightly domineering taste. Ci Xin's lips moved slightly, saying slowly, "You can go now. I need to enter seclusion for cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei took the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle and didn't linger, turning around to leave. Liu Bailong had already been waiting outside for him. Seeing Xiao Yifei come out, Liu Bailong promptly inquired about the situation, to which Xiao Yifei replied it was okay. "So, are we free now?" Liu Bailong asked Xiao Yifei, looking at him.

Xiao Yifei nodded. Indeed, after so many days, Xiao Yifei was finally free. With Ci Xin in seclusion now, Xiao Yifei felt he had to return to Beijing. Perhaps Qianxi and the others might need him. With these thoughts, Xiao Yifei also sought Liu Bailong's opinion.

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei's explanation, Liu Bailong nodded in agreement, and the two immediately set off for Beijing.

Over on Hua Xiangrong's side, being just an ordinary officer, he couldn't take part in national warfare. However, this allowed him to search for Xiao Yifei's whereabouts. But now, Hua Xiangrong was more concerned about the nation's safety. He had heard that many countries had dispatched experts with the Golden Elixir, making it difficult for Huaxia to withstand.
