Chapter 557: Confidentiality

Time passed bit by bit, and Zhang Jie's treatment was nearing completion.

The green light that originally covered Xu Xiang's whole body slowly shrank, gathered at his heart, and then disappeared.

Xu Xiang, who was actively cooperating with Zhang Jie's treatment, looked inside his own body and saw that at his heart,

a ball of green light the size of a pea was expanding and contracting with the beating of his heart.

Dots of light radiated out with its expansion and contraction, merging into his blood and internal Qi.

Inexplicably, Xu Xiang understood that when this green ball of light was exhausted, it would be the time of his death.

And looking at its dissipation speed, it would be about three months.

That is to say, the three-month lifespan Zhang Jie predicted was neither more nor less.

A moment later, Zhang Jie, who had closed his eyes to guide and stimulate Xu Xiang's vitality, opened his eyes.

"Ah Jie, how is it?"

Xu Si and the others gathered around immediately.

The corners of Zhang Jie's mouth curled up slightly: "Mission accomplished!"

At this time, Xu Xiang also opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.

"Father, how are you?"

Xu San and Xu Si quickly stepped forward to support him.

Xu Xiang waved his hand to stop the two brothers, his expression relaxed:

"I have never felt so comfortable."

Hoo!

Saying this, he let out a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the depressed air in his chest in one go.

"Ah Jie, thank you for saving this old man's life; great kindness cannot be thanked with words!"

Xu Xiang bent down on the hospital bed and bowed deeply to Zhang Jie.

"Xu-shu, what are you saying? I just did what was within my duty."

For this old man who was old enough to be his grandfather and had also been kind to his Zhang family,

Zhang Jie did not dare to accept this big gift carelessly and quickly helped him up.

"No one is allowed to speak of today's events, understand?"

After bowing to Zhang Jie, Xu Xiang looked around at everyone and ordered solemnly.

"Understood."

Xu San and Xu Si nodded repeatedly.

Helping someone extend their life, Zhang Jie's methods were simply too shocking.

If this were known by someone with ulterior motives, it would not be impossible to trigger a major earthquake.

No, it is inevitable.

After all, except for those who are desperate about life, who doesn't want to live a few more years?

The theme song of the previously popular TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" is called "I Really Want to Live Another Five Hundred Years."

Seeking survival and life is truly the greatest desire of mankind.

Like Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, who was very free and easy in the face of death, facing the imperial physician who came to treat him,

he not only drove the person away but also rewarded him with gold, saying, "I took the world with a cloth-clad sword; is this not Heaven's mandate? Fate is in Heaven, what is the use of Bian Que!"—there are really too few such people.

Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, hailed as the model of emperors through the ages, took pills and medicine in his later years, showing signs of being muddled.

As for Zhang Jie's method of extending life requiring precious medicine of high age?

Even Xu Xiang could collect a wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain that was hundreds of years old by chance; others naturally would not lack it.

After all, in terms of actual status, Xu Xiang, the person in charge of the North China region of the company,

was just a worker for the true superiors.

Zhang Jie didn't care much about this. Not to mention that with his strength,

even the largest violent machine on this land could not force him to do things he didn't like.

As long as the people above are not stupid, they would not take coercive measures against him, but would choose to win him over;

after all, when extending life, the life of the person being extended is truly in the hands of Zhang Jie, the life-extender.

As long as Zhang Jie has any bad intentions, whether to flatten or rub him is just a matter of his own thought.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jie chose to show part of his methods:

a "doctor" with superb methods can undoubtedly easily obtain a high status,

gain no small amount of say, and make his life more convenient.

Even if someone covets this "life-extending secret technique" and wants to snatch it from Zhang Jie's hands,

it's not that Zhang Jie looks down on the elites and heroes of the "Under One Person" world, but without the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit,

hundreds of years of pure internal Qi, and the powerful spiritual guidance of a planetary-level spiritual master,

wanting to learn this secret technique is not to say it's a pipe dream, but it's close.

If there really is such a heaven-defying talent, as long as their character is not bad, Zhang Jie would not be stingy about teaching them, to progress together.

However, Xu Xiang and the others were thinking for his sake, so Zhang Jie didn't say anything.

And he trusted the confidentiality ability of the Xu family very much.

This family, starting from the old father Xu Xiang, to the two sons Xu San and Xu Si,

had kept the secret of Feng Baobao's immortality and her unchanging appearance for decades very well.

Zhang Chulan, he is undoubtedly a smart person, knowing what can be said and what cannot be said.

As for Bao'er-jie?

Hmm... she is naturally dull, so there is no need to care at all.

"Let's go, let's go home."

With their thoughts unified, Xu Xiang stood up excitedly and was about to walk out.

"Father, in my opinion, it's better to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation."

Xu San pulled his old father and persuaded him.

"Yes, Dad, staying for a few more days for observation won't do any harm."

Xu Si helped from the side.

"I know my own body!"

Xu Xiang was very stubborn and did not want to stay in this sad place any longer.

"Ah Jie?"

Seeing his old father like a stubborn bull, not listening to persuasion, Xu San could only cast an inquiring look at Zhang Jie,

wanting to know the opinion of this person who treated Xu Xiang.

"Hmm."

Zhang Jie nodded slightly.

As the creator and practitioner of the life-extension method, even Xu Xiang did not know his physical condition better than him.

Three months means three months.

During these three months, Xu Xiang's body would be no different from a healthy young man; he could eat, drink,

sleep, and jump around; even if he went to play stimulating sports like clubbing or skydiving, it would be fine.

Of course, all of this is the false prosperity presented by the life essence provided by the precious medicine; once the time is up,

the life essence is exhausted, and he will be what he should be; if he should die, he will die.

"Good."

Getting Zhang Jie's approval, Xu San's hanging heart was finally put down.

Without Xu San's obstruction, the refreshed Xu Xiang strode out,

unable to wait to leave this cage that had imprisoned him for a long time, to go outside and breathe fresh air.

"Jie-ge, your methods are truly shocking."

Looking at Xu Xiang, who had changed from gasping for breath on the bed to striding forward in the blink of an eye,

Zhang Chulan could not help but give Zhang Jie a thumbs up.

He had never seen bringing the dead back to life or growing flesh on bones, but Zhang Jie had truly snatched a person back from the hands of the King of Hell.

How could such a method not make him feel that he was a god? ===== CHAPTER 558 =====

Seeing Xu Xiang moving with such agility, Zhang Chulan could not help but give Zhang Jie a thumbs-up.

He had never seen anyone bring the dead back to life or regrow flesh and bone, yet Zhang Jie had truly snatched a person back from the hands of King Yama.

How could such a feat not make him view Zhang Jie as a god among men?
