The purplish-black color had already receded to its original position, but did not continue to fade, stopping right there.

Even so, this had astonished everyone present, especially the beautiful military doctor, whose beautiful eyes were filled with incredulity, as if she had witnessed a miracle.

"Qin Fang, can you really cure him?"

Qiao Zhenfei quickly recovered and pulled Qin Fang aside to ask in a low voice.

The situation was now clear: Qin Fang's Acupuncture Secret Technique had stabilized General Li's condition, preventing it from worsening, thus averting the disaster of amputation.

But this was merely a temporary solution to an immediate crisis, the real challenge was completely curing this strange illness.

Qin Fang had made it clear just moments ago that he could treat it, and naturally, Qiao Zhenfei had to inquire further. In fact, as soon as he asked, all eyes turned to Qin Fang.

"This...actually, I'm not completely certain myself!"

Feeling the gaze of so many eyes upon him, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed and responded apologetically.

In the urgency of the moment, his earlier statement might have been somewhat overconfident, but in reality, he did not have complete assurance.

The Li Family's people felt a wave of disappointment upon hearing this; Qin Fang's miraculous acupuncture had given them great hope, but his words seemed to douse their flickering flame of hope with cold water.

The beautiful military doctor had a similar reaction. She had thought Qin Fang could truly bring back the dying, but to her dismay, he wasn't entirely confident—a sentiment that slightly alleviated her previous sense of loss.

"Then how certain are you?"

Qiao Zhenfei's brows knitted tightly, but he couldn't help asking further.

"About eighty percent..."

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment, then gave a rather uncertain answer.

Pfft~~

Upon hearing Qin Fang's response, several people couldn't help but burst out, glaring at him as if they wanted to kill him.

An eighty percent chance of cure was so high that in medical terms it almost equated to certainty, yet Qin Fang spoke as if there was less than a fifty percent chance.

"Brother, you must be joking with me..."

Qiao Zhenfei was speechless. He truly believed that Qin Fang was unsure, estimating around a fifty percent chance, which indeed seemed unreliable.

Yet after hearing Qin Fang mention an eighty percent certainty, Qiao Zhenfei felt like strangling him. With such high odds, there was no question they had to try.

The beautiful military doctor shared Qiao Zhenfei's sentiments. She too was frustrated with Qin Fang, who clearly had such a high assurance, yet spoke as if he was in grave danger. She really wanted to strangle him too.

What she didn't realize was that at this moment, she no longer doubted Qin Fang's medical arts, seemingly acknowledging that he truly had such capabilities. Perhaps it was the Acupuncture Secret Technique that had truly astounded her.

But Qin Fang had more to say, and wasn't about to let it end there. He added, "There are a few herbs I'm not sure we can collect. If we can get them, the chance might improve to ninety percent..."

There it was, another ten percent increase!

The beautiful military doctor was now completely exasperated. A ninety percent chance of healing was virtually synonymous with a full recovery. She knew that even a simple appendix surgery in a hospital came with its risks, yet such small procedures rarely encountered complications—maybe one in ten thousand cases.

"Are you really that confident?"

Qiao Zhenfei was still somewhat worried and sought confirmation once again, while Li Yang had already approached, looking at Qin Fang with hope.

"Can I joke about such a matter?"

Qin Fang offered a wry smile, "We can start right away, but if we want to eradicate the root of the issue, it would be best to find those herbs..."

General Li's condition was quite bothersome. Qin Fang had a way to treat it, but without a few specific ingredients, it would be difficult to fully resolve the issue. Mainly, Qin Fang's current level of Inner Breath was not strong enough to support a long duration of acupuncture, and he needed some herbs to assist him, achieving twice the results with half the effort.

"Let's get started; just tell me what herbs you need, and I'll arrange for someone to prepare them immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhenfei's face lit up with joy, insisting that Qin Fang get to work without delay. As for the herbs, he wasn't worried; nowadays, as long as one was willing to pay, there was hardly anything that couldn't be purchased. And money was not something that Qiao Zhenfei was short of—he could afford whatever amount necessary.

"The herbs I need aren't easily found; they can only be gathered from ancient forests. Furthermore, they require very specific harvesting methods to avoid damaging their medicinal properties, otherwise, they're useless..."

Qin Fang shook his head and explained that collecting herbs wasn't as simple as pulling up turnips, especially the few he needed, which not just any herbalist could handle. Only he could do it properly; otherwise, the herbs' potency could be ruined. Moreover, two of the herbs contained potent toxins—incorrect harvesting methods could be lethal...

"Here's what we'll do: I will write down the appearance and some characteristics of these herbs for you to locate them. Have your people find them, but tell them not to touch. Mark the location, and I will personally go and gather them..."
