After the old man fainted, the skin that was originally like tree bark, surprisingly became supple at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Moreover, it was rosy and white, as if he had suddenly become decades younger!
After seeing this, the middle-aged man excitedly said: "Great, Old Chen has come back to life! The mission is accomplished!"
With Old Chen's influence, just one word from him could allow him to advance further in his career, adding another star to his shoulder!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Half an hour later, Old Chen woke up.
At this time, he had already transformed into the appearance of a man in his forties or fifties.
He touched his skin, incredibly saying: "I've come back to life? This Corpse-Eating Pill—truly is a divine object!"
"Old Chen, you've become young again, full of vitality, just like when you were in your forties or fifties! May you live as long as the heavens!" The middle-aged man flattered.
Old Chen laughed heartily: "Hahaha, this is all thanks to you for obtaining this precious pill for me. You have great merit!"
"Thank you, Old Chen, being able to serve you is my greatest honor!" The middle-aged man continued to flatter.
Old Chen stood up and moved his arms and legs, his spirit full of vigor as he said: "Being young is truly good! To think that in my lifetime—I could return to my youthful days!"
"That's your good fortune!" The Zhao-surnamed man said.
"Yes, yes... Little Zhao, from today onwards, you are the person I trust most! Tomorrow I will have your files transferred. The star on your shoulder is about to gain another!"
He patted the Zhao-surnamed man's shoulder, encouraging him.
Upon hearing this, the Zhao-surnamed man directly knelt down on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and thanking him: "Thank you for your promotion, from now on, as long as you have a word, even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I will not hesitate!"
…
The next morning.
The morning sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the room. Zhang Yun Feng slept until he woke up naturally.
After getting up and moving his bones, he sat cross-legged on the ground and practiced the Evergreen Technique, keeping his body in optimal condition.
This was something he did every morning after waking up.
Just as he finished practicing the Evergreen Technique, the door was suddenly knocked on.
"Clan Chief, it's time for breakfast."
Zhang Hai Ke's voice came from outside the door.
"Coming!" Zhang Yun Feng got up to open the door.
As the door opened, Zhang Hai Ke could be seen, dressed in a suit, his hair neatly styled, looking quite handsome.
However, Zhang Yun Feng didn't feel envious or jealous or anything like that. He wasn't ugly either, just that his beard was unkempt at the moment, making him look unpresentable!
After quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face, Zhang Yun Feng followed him to the dining room for breakfast.
Only then did he notice that this so-called base was actually a large, independent mansion, with not only a swimming pool but also a garden and artificial hills.
Inside the mansion, there were several Zhang family members serving as security guards.
"Looks like you guys are doing pretty well here?"
Zhang Yun Feng asked curiously.
"Our family has been operating here for three generations for decades, so we have some assets." Zhang Hai Ke smiled faintly.
Zhang Yun Feng thought: You call this some assets? Such a large mansion, supporting so many people, without substantial funds, how could it be maintained? This is called being a tycoon, alright?!
After breakfast, Zhang Yun Feng made a small request:
"Hey, Hai Ke… Can you take me to get a haircut, shave my beard, and buy a few sets of clothes?"
He hadn't taken care of himself for a long time, even Zhang Yun Feng himself felt a little embarrassed, so while he had the time, he naturally had to get a good grooming.
"Of course, I'll go with you!" Zhang Hai Ke nodded.
Afterwards, Zhang Hai Ke drove a vintage car, accompanied by two bodyguards, and took Zhang Yun Feng to a commercial street.
First, they found a barbershop owned by a foreigner, had his hair cut, shaved his beard, and even trimmed his nose hair.
After that, he took him to nearby shops to buy a few sets of clothes, as well as shoes, socks, belts, and the like.
After visiting several stores, everyone was carrying large bags and small bags, all paid for by Zhang Hai Ke.
"Three sets of clothes are enough, let's go back. Put the money on my account, I'll pay you back later." Zhang Yun Feng said.
"No problem." Zhang Hai Ke smiled.
After finishing their shopping, they were about to return to the car.
But just then, Zhang Yun Feng suddenly noticed that someone was following them.
However, the person was cautious and didn't follow too closely.
Zhang Yun Feng didn't alert the person, as he walked, he subtly told Zhang Hai Ke: "Someone is following us, don't look back."
"Do you see who it is?"
Zhang Hai Ke said as he walked.
"I didn't get a good look, we'll ambush them at the corner later." Zhang Yun Feng said without looking back.
"Understood!" Zhang Hai Ke nodded, then waved to the two bodyguards, "You guys take the things to the car first."
Then, the two of them handed the bags to the bodyguards and walked into the nearby alley.
Not long after they left, a beautiful figure walked over.
It was a woman in her twenties, with exquisite features, a tall figure, and a very high level of beauty.
But her eyes were sharp, radiating a cold and elegant aura.
She came to the intersection and took a look.
As a result, Zhang Yun Feng and Zhang Hai Ke had already disappeared, making her rush to chase after them.
However, as soon as she reached the corner, Zhang Yun Feng and Zhang Hai Ke suddenly charged out of a store, directly surrounding her.
The girl, seeing her cover blown, immediately and without hesitation, charged in the opposite direction, trying to break through their encirclement.
"Where do you think you're going!" Zhang Yun Feng yelled.
He suddenly quickened his pace, his figure like a ghost, flashing instantly, and in just a breath, he caught up to the girl!
Zhang Hai Ke, seeing this, immediately widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
After catching up, Zhang Yun Feng swiftly stretched out his hand and directly pressed down on the girl's shoulder, intending to capture her.
Unexpectedly, the girl's reaction was also very quick.
Just as Zhang Yun Feng's hand gripped her delicate shoulder!
She suddenly used her Bone-Shrinking Technique, shrinking her bones sharply, wriggling out of Zhang Yun Feng's grasp like an eel!
She also turned around and kicked him!
Zhang Yun Feng didn't dodge.
Just as her shoe sole was only thirty centimeters from his face, he lightning-fast stretched out his hand and grabbed her calf!
The girl's face immediately panicked, and she wanted to use her Bone-Shrinking Technique to break free, but to her horror!
Zhang Yun Feng's hand was like an iron claw, tightly gripping her calf bone, preventing her from using the Bone-Shrinking Technique at all!
She tried to shake her leg forcefully, but found that no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from the iron claw!
This woman was no ordinary character.
Seeing that she couldn't break free, she suddenly drew a sharp dagger from her waist and stabbed at Zhang Yun Feng's heart!
Zhang Yun Feng didn't panic at all. He saw lightning-fast stretched out his other hand, directly grasping the sharp dagger, preventing it from moving forward!
