CHAPTER 1579: CHAPTER 1631: PROLONGING LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS

When the topic of witchcraft was mentioned, Li Yifei only said a few words simply. Murong Yuanqing nodded and said, "Take some time to study this more, don’t wander around all day. Yao Lingfu is also helping you with it. This is the main thing, everything else... can be postponed."

"I will, this matter is indeed of utmost importance," Li Yifei replied.

"Okay, go try it, but do less of this in the future. Our cultivation is essentially defying fate, and the heavens already disapprove. Helping others extend their life is like daring the heavens. Be careful, or it might change your fate," Murong Yuanqing nagged, then hung up with a click.

Li Yifei walked back and said to Old Master Su, "Grandpa, I have a way, but it might not succeed."

Old Master Su sat on the chair, saying with some heaviness, "Try it, the doctor just told the truth, he might not make it through the night."

"What about his family?" Li Yifei asked.

Old Master Su glanced at Li Yifei, as if saying, where did you see family?

Li Yifei gritted his teeth, walked into the ICU, and looked at the old man lying on the hospital bed. He was allowed to enter by the doctor, and he was alone in the room.

On the machine monitor, the old man’s heart was weakly beating, and his body had almost no reaction to the outside world. Li Yifei quietly adjusted his own body, grasped the old man’s hand, and transmitted a stream of True Qi into him. As the Qi entered the old man’s body, Li Yifei could only explore cautiously, progressing step by step.

His True Qi had healing effects, but it was usually for injuries, and this organ failure seemed ineffective.

More than ten minutes later, Li Yifei withdrew his True Qi and wiped the sweat off his forehead. As expected, ordinary True Qi had no good solution to this situation. As for Innate Vital Energy...

To be honest, Li Yifei felt a bit distressed. Since that great battle, the Innate Vital Energy in Li Yifei’s body had been scarce, only trace amounts. Truly, using a little meant having less. This stuff is life-saving.

Regardless, Li Yifei still tried his utmost to gather the Innate Vital Energy in his Dantian. He finally accumulated about as much as a needle. He divided it in half, directly placed it on the old man’s heart, and transmitted it.

Meanwhile, the other half of the True Qi was placed by Li Yifei on the old man’s lower abdomen, Dantian, and kidneys.

Using the method Murong Yuanqing had just suggested, Li Yifei sealed several of the old man’s acupoints, allowing the Innate Vital Energy to last longer, but only for a few days, at most ten days.

Hope it works! After finishing everything, Li Yifei took a deep breath, glanced at the monitoring equipment, and found that the old man’s bodily functions were slowly recovering. Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling he had not disappointed. After observing for a while in the room, Li Yifei walked out and said to the waiting doctor outside, "Please keep an eye on him, and if there are any abnormalities, inform me immediately!"

The couple of doctors were not ordinary people either, knowing that there are some extraordinary humans in the world, so they weren’t surprised. They walked in and instinctively checked the instruments, discovering that the readings were steadily increasing and almost catching up with normal people.

A miracle, it’s simply a miracle, that young man went in and such a thing happened in no time.

However, these matters had to be kept strictly confidential, and the doctors understood this.

Li Yifei walked to the room where Old Master Su was sitting and discovered the old man had dozed off. He suddenly felt a bit melancholic, this elder had toiled for the nation for most of his life, and now he clearly showed signs of aging. All this fuss had left him tired.

Li Yifei didn’t disturb the old man, quietly walked to the side, and sat down.

Half an hour later, Old Master Su woke up and looked at Li Yifei, asking, "How long did I sleep?"

"Not long, Grandpa, you haven’t been resting well these past few days?" Li Yifei asked.

Old Master Su shook his head and said, "I’m alright, nothing serious. In a little while, once I step down, I’ll have more leisure time."

After finishing speaking, Old Master Su asked again, "Did you succeed?"

Li Yifei nodded, "It should have worked, but it can last at most ten days; this is beyond human abilities."

"Ten days is a lot, plenty to say many things. I’ve long come to terms with life and death, but when it comes to old friends, it’s hard to let go." Old Master Su felt relieved hearing his old friend could live a few more days. He supported himself with the chair to stand up, wanting to go see his friend. Li Yifei hurriedly followed, Old Master Su turned back and said, "Thank you, Yifei."

"Grandpa, it’s my duty!" Li Yifei responded.

Old Master Su said no more, walked to the outside of the intensive care unit, and looked inside through the window. A doctor came out, removed his mask, and said to Old Master Su, "Elder Su, it’s truly a miracle, that young man is simply incredible, the patient is experiencing a miraculous recovery, and it’s almost as if he’s like a normal young person. I believe the patient will wake up soon."

After listening, Old Master Su was very excited, thanked the doctor, and waited outside.

Only when his old friend woke did Old Master Su go inside. Li Yifei didn’t follow, rather, he waited outside.

A few doctors nodded at him, and one couldn’t help but say, "This is truly a miracle. Young man, could you tell us the principle behind it? I feel a life force within the elderly man’s body. What is it that suddenly revitalizes a person?"

As soon as he spoke, the other doctors stopped and looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei could only shake his head and said, "I just used acupuncture points to draw out the elderly man’s last bit of vitality, but after that, there’s nothing more that can be done to save him."

"So that’s it. Sorry to have disturbed you. It’s just my professional curiosity," the doctor said with some regret.

Li Yifei nodded, watching those doctors leave to rest.

Old Master Su stayed in the ward for a full hour before slowly coming out. The worry on his face had lessened, clearly in a much better mood. Li Yifei hurried to support him, but the old man pushed him away, saying, "I’m fine, let’s go home and leave this to the doctors."

Li Yifei and the old man got into the car and headed home. On the way, Su Mengxin called. She was complaining that Old Master Su had intercepted her husband midway. Didn’t he know their granddaughter also missed her husband?

"Haha, I’ll let him go back tomorrow, don’t worry, no rush!" Old Master Su laughed.

Su Mengxin just whined a bit. Soon, Old Master Su handed the phone to Li Yifei, and Li Yifei, of course, got a good earful from her. But it was only scolding, and in the end, she still urged him to talk more with his grandfather, to bring some cheer to the old man.

Li Yifei agreed wholeheartedly, without reservation.

Listening to Li Yifei’s conversation with his granddaughter, Old Master Su’s mood improved quite a bit.

At home, Old Master Su didn’t go to rest but instead asked Li Yifei to follow him into the room to first talk about matters in the Middle East.

Li Yifei described it in detail, but he automatically skipped over the parts about living with Wu Shuwei.

Old Master Su seemed to have already known that the daughter of the Wu family, Wu Shuwei, was in charge of this project. After listening to Li Yifei, he said, "This favor, the Wu family will have to repay."

Li Yifei grinned, and then Old Master Su said, "You did well, and getting along with Dubai’s royalty will make things easier in the future. I’ll handle the rest."

Li Yifei quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa, sorry to trouble you, but there’s no rush. I’m happy to do something for the country."

"You brat, acting coy after getting the advantage." Old Master Su scolded with a smile, then said, "Alright, you’ve had a long journey, go rest."

Li Yifei then stood up, preparing to leave, when Old Master Su called him back. Li Yifei turned around, seeing the old man hesitating.

"Grandpa, is there anything else?" Li Yifei asked.

Old Master Su sighed and said, "About the child, Grandpa is also helping you look. Even if I’m gone someday, you must continue the search."

Li Yifei felt a pang of sadness. Although he had several children, he still felt guilty towards his eldest son. He was always busy, constantly on the move, and while he never stopped searching for his son, he hadn’t given it his all.

Li Yifei nodded heavily, took a deep breath, and said, "Grandpa, once I’m done with these tasks, I’ll fully devote myself to finding the child and get him back as soon as possible."

"No need to rush. If something had happened, it would’ve already happened. If nothing has happened, then it doesn’t matter if it’s a day sooner or later!" Old Master Su finished speaking, waved at Li Yifei, and said, "Go on, I’ll only keep you for a day. Tomorrow you can go home."

Li Yifei nodded again and said, "Well, then I’ll head back, call me if you need anything."

Leaving Old Master Su’s room, Li Yifei paused, turning to look at the very ordinary small room. The old man was living alone, having to care for both his family and the world. An indescribable feeling lingered in Li Yifei’s heart. Many people understand the matters of family and country, but how many can really achieve it?

If there’s time, spend more with them, Li Yifei thought, and decided to ask Su Mengxin to come back and keep the old man company.

Back in his room, Li Yifei stared blankly for a while, remembering his son’s face. Children grow quickly, changing every few days. When he next saw his child, would he instantly recognize him?

He definitely would, for father and son are connected at heart. My son must resemble what I looked like as a child, so there’s no question of recognition.

Li Yifei tidied up, lay down on the bed, and tonight, he missed his eldest son dearly, even though he already had several children.

Tonight, Su Mengxin also missed her son. She had thought about having another child with Li Yifei, but only as a thought. Even without the constraints of the worm, she didn’t plan to have another child with Li Yifei soon. Perhaps only when their son was found would she consider having another child with him.
