Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

Shencheng.

Jiang Mansion.

Welcome room.

Jiang Wangzu and Zhang Shanfeng took their seats, and servants brought out platters of delicacies.

Braised beef with radish, stir-fried mutton with chili peppers, braised donkey meat, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, abalone seafood soup...

Zhang Shanfeng's eyes widened in disbelief!

Jiang Wangzu is really not short of money these days.

There weren't so many rules about eating back then.

But now their identities and statuses are different, and the guests coming and going are different too.

He can make do with whatever he has to eat.

Even like before, it would be nice to cook a simple home-cooked meal with Xu Zhenzhen herself.

But what is the purpose of his diligent cultivation?

Are you going to force yourself to endure hardship?

He learns martial arts to earn money so that he can enjoy it.

So he hired several master chefs at high prices to prepare a different Chinese and Western meal every day.

Now that's what you call enjoying yourself!

"Brother Zhang, come to Shanghai as if you've returned home."

"If it weren't for Brother Zhang escorting me all the way, I'm afraid I would have already passed away."

"Come, Brother Zhang, let me toast you!"

Jiang Wangzu raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Shanfeng's.

"Excellent wine!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhang Shanfeng's eyes lit up.

Although people on Wudang Mountain abstain from meat, alcohol, and sex.

But he often went down the mountain to buy roast chicken and strong liquor.

If all else fails, they can go up the mountain to hunt some wild game and have a good meal.

What rules and regulations? Perhaps they will be less strict up in the mountains.

But now that he's in Shanghai, far from the emperor's reach, why should he restrain himself?

"Drink more if you like it."

"Drink it every day, drink as much as you want."

"I have plenty of good wine and meat here!"

Jiang Wangzu's mind raced as he secretly plotted how to keep a top expert like Zhang Shanfeng in Shanghai to oversee things.

Even if we can't keep him forever, we should at least wait until we have the strength to contend with, or even kill, a martial arts grandmaster before letting him travel the world and temper his heart in the mortal realm.

The guests enjoyed the meal to the fullest, and Zhang Shanfeng, who was thoroughly drunk, was arranged by Jiang Wangzu to stay temporarily in a guest room in a side courtyard.

As the servants began clearing away the dishes, Xu Zhenzhen walked over to Jiang Wangzu and hugged his neck.

"Why have you been gone for so long?"

"Why didn't Pearl come back with you? Could it be that she..."

Xu Zhenzhen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Pei Zhenzhu had told her that going to Wudang Mountain was a perilous journey with a high chance of death.

If she's gone, then put the clothes, shoes, bags, and other items she left at home into her coffin and make a cenotaph for her.

Jiang Wangzu picked her up, shook his head, and said, "Don't overthink it."

"Sister Pearl has resumed her cultivation. Although her strength has not yet returned to its peak, she has already embarked on the path of the Ghost Immortal again."

"However, she still needs to meditate in Wudang Mountain for a while. She will probably come back after winter."

"And from now on, you two will be true best friends."

His last sentence startled Xu Zhenzhen.

She had to admire her husband.

That's a real man.

They even dare to mess with ghosts...

But she didn't care anymore. Anyway, there were plenty of men and women out there, so what difference would it make if she had a thousand-year-old female ghost?

"While you were away, I often went shopping with Sister Han Qiao, Sister Yi Xian, and Sister Ru Meng."

"However, recently, various warlords have sent people into Shanghai, making the business world in Shanghai turbulent and the political world also in turmoil. Even the foreign concessions are making constant moves."

"Sister Han Qiao said that recently, people in the political and business circles of Shanghai have been repeatedly assassinated, and it seems that it was done by people from the foreign concessions."

"Although you are very powerful, you should still be careful and take more people with you when you go out."

Xu Zhenzhen spoke with great concern.

"They've already made a move against me..." Jiang Wangzu thought to himself, but didn't say anything more to Xu Zhenzhen.

However, Xu Zhenzhen's words did catch his attention.

These Japanese devils failed to ambush him, so who knows if they'll use Xu Zhenzhen and the others to blackmail him.

It looks like we'll need to assign some more people to Xu Zhenzhen and the others in the future.

There's no need to make special arrangements for Han Qiao, after all, her Xianle Sect is large and powerful, and she herself is a Dan Jin martial artist, and is probably about to break through to Gang Jin.

If this momentum continues, he could probably challenge for the title of Martial Arts Grandmaster this year!

Lin Rumeng is a sound engineer and actually has some ability to protect herself, but it is still necessary to arrange some people to protect her secretly.

As for Little Fairy Doctor, although her medical skills are superb, her martial arts skills are too weak, so she needs to be protected more.

Xu Zhenzhen is not a cultivator, but an ordinary person, so she needs to be protected even more.

"Have you missed me since I've been gone so long?"

Jiang Wangzu stared intently at Xu Zhenzhen and smiled faintly.

"think."

I missed you so much!

Xu Zhenzhen wrapped her legs around Jiang Wangzu's waist, cupped his face in her hands, and her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"Then I'll have to make it up to you!"

Jiang Wangzu carried Xu Zhenzhen and strode towards the bedroom in the backyard.

After a violent storm.

The two fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Wangzu drank a bowl of seafood porridge and ate a plate of exotic beast meat before going to the Shanghai Security Company.

Then he took Zhou Wei and Chen Batian to Tianxia Trading Company.

Under Lu Ming's guidance, they visited the Sihai Industrial Factory.

Jiang Wangzu's business now spans all over Shanghai, but he still cares most about manufacturing factories.

Today, his industrial factories mainly fall into three categories: textile factories, food processing plants, and pharmaceutical factories. These three categories are all related to the national economy and people's livelihood!

In addition, his Shanghai security company has grown increasingly powerful.

Mr. Huo Tianhong from Tianjin provided him with 3,500 pistols and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, far exceeding the previous agreement.

This is also why Jiang Wangzu made a fortune along with the Tianjin Martial Arts School.

His Shanghai security company now appears to have only two thousand employees, but in reality, it has grown to three thousand.

It's roughly the size of a standard infantry brigade.

Moreover, these people were secretly training in shooting, combat, martial arts, and other skills, with a level of training far exceeding that of the common soldiers under the warlords.

He wanted to cultivate an elite force and then firmly control it.

However, the training consumed too many bullets, and even with the support of 500,000 bullets from Old Master Huo Tianhong, it was not enough.

He is currently secretly setting up a small military factory that only produces bullets.

The daily output is not large, but it adds up over time and is enough for daily training.

"How's business lately?"

After touring some of his properties, Jiang Wangzu then gathered all the business managers at the headquarters of Tianxia Trading Company.

He left in such a hurry that his absence for over a month inevitably caused widespread anxiety. Now that he's back, he can finally put their minds at ease.

"The major conglomerates are all secretly competing with us, but because of Ding Lie's incident, they dare not resort to underhanded tactics."

Even so, our business has been affected to some extent.

"However, because we have opened up trade routes between the north and south, this impact cannot affect the overall situation at all."

Lu Ming spoke up.

Although Jiang Wangzu left Shanghai for more than a month after the group's framework was initially established.

However, the aftershocks of Ding Lie's downfall were still lingering, and no one dared to step forward and oppose them at this time.
