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

[The system has detected that the host has collected multiple internal energy cultivation techniques. These techniques are complementary in many ways, but also conflicting in others.]

[Should we use this as a blueprint, taking its essence and discarding its dross, to synthesize a completely new internal strength cultivation technique based on the host's own situation?]

"yes!"

Jiang Wangzu looked at the prompts on the attribute panel and spoke without hesitation.

Splash!

He saw over a hundred internal energy cultivation techniques instantly disrupted, transforming into countless golden-red characters.

After repeated disruptions, reorganizations, and further disruptions and reorganizations, a completely new cultivation technique finally appeared before Jiang Wangzu:

[Technique: Xuanhuang Wuji Jin (Beginner Level)]

Heaven is black, earth is yellow; heaven and earth, black and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless, chaos and limitless, then heaven and earth were created!

[Quick Start Method: Practice a hundred times a day, master the basics in three days!]

"The Profound Yellow Limitless Force, what an imposing name!"

"And this technique even has its own separate introduction!"

"Great, great, great!"

"As expected of an attribute panel product, it's bound to be top-notch!"

"This is absolutely the most powerful internal energy cultivation technique in the world today, bar none!"

"The most urgent task is to first master the basics of this internal strength cultivation technique, and then synthesize it into my own top-tier external martial arts technique!"

"If I master this top-tier external martial arts technique, it will mean I've become a grandmaster of external martial arts. At that time, the world will be vast, and I will be able to roam freely!"

Jiang Wangzu spoke with great enthusiasm.

He immediately began to circulate the Xuanhuang Wuji Energy and started cultivating. He continued until he had circulated it a hundred times, and by evening, he had finished his practice, left Chen Liujia's courtyard, and headed home.

"Mr. Jiang, it's really not easy to get a meeting with you!"

Before Jiang Wangzu even returned home, he saw a middle-aged man in a long coat and a hat, with a tall and straight posture, standing at his front door.

The man was accompanied by two young men, who were robust and strong, with upright postures and muscular builds, clearly skilled in martial arts.

It seems they've come to block the door.

"May I ask what business you have with me, sir?"

Jiang Wangzu narrowed his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to have ill intentions, and spoke.

"Mr. Jiang, won't you invite me to your home?"

"This is not how you treat a guest!"

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Wangzu and said in a calm tone.

However, Jiang Wangzu found his inexplicable sense of superiority extremely annoying.

"I forgot to introduce myself."

"My surname is Li, and my given name is Jinyan."

"My elder brother is Li Guanlan, the military governor of Wuyue Province!"

"Speaking of which, our Li family is also one of the major shareholders of your canal gang."

Li Jinyan spoke up.

The Li family of Wuyue Province, with an army of fifty to sixty thousand, was considered one of the major warlords in the south.

The Li family stood behind Cao Rongsheng, the third master of the canal gang.

However, things haven't been going well for the Li family lately; they've been getting beaten down by the Southern Revolutionary Army!

The Southern Revolutionary Army has occupied three provinces, bordering the Wuyue Province.

Now that the Southern Revolutionary Army wants to unify the South, Wuyue Province is the first to be targeted.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm also one of the major shareholders of the Grand Canal Gang."

"The Canal Gang cannot do without me, Jiang Wangzu, just as the Western Continent cannot do without the Holy See."

Jiang Wangzu smiled upon hearing this, but his eyes were cold.

If it were someone from the Donghai Province, backed by Xu Shanyue, or someone from the Jiangzuo Province, backed by Dai Qinghe, who came today, he might have been more polite.

It turned out that it was someone behind Cao Rongsheng who came. What did that have to do with Jiang Wangzu?

If you want to beg for alms, go to Cao Rongsheng!

"So, do you think you're more powerful, or does the Li family think we're more powerful?"

Li Jin's tone turned cold. He hadn't expected Jiang Wangzu to be so disrespectful to the Li family.

Previously, several minor warlords behind the Grand Canal Gang had approached him for alms, but he had already turned them away.

After all, Jiang Wangzu is indeed powerful now, and he is practically a local warlord.

However, the Li family is a powerful force that occupies the entire Wuyue Province and commands tens of thousands of soldiers. Yet, he still showed them no respect!

Previously, they had tried to pass a message to Jiang Wangzu through Cao Rongsheng, but Jiang Wangzu ignored them.

Later, they tried to get through Xu Shanyue, the leader of the Caobang gang, to Jiang Wangzu, but Jiang Wangzu still ignored them.

Now, Li Jinyan, the younger brother of Li Guanlan, the military governor of Wuyue Province, came to pay a visit, but was still turned away.

So he waited all morning until evening, and finally Jiang Wangzu appeared, but the other party still had the same attitude.

This made him very unhappy!

Very upset!

"The Li family dominated the entire Wuyue province, and Governor Li commanded tens of thousands of troops."

"In Wuyue Province, your Li family is naturally the most powerful."

Jiang Wangzu smiled upon hearing this, but he didn't finish his sentence.

Your Li family may be powerful in Wuyue Province, but this is Shanghai, not Wuyue Province!

Besides, I am the King of Shanghai, what the hell are you?!

What a bully who relies on his master's power!

Li Jinyan understood the unspoken meaning in Jiang Wangzu's contemptuous gaze.

"Mr. Jiang, the southern provinces are not peaceful right now. The rebels are deliberately provoking war, and the flames of war have now spread to Wuyue Province."

"Therefore, I earnestly request Mr. Jiang to generously donate funds to help the Li family."

"Afterwards, my Li family will certainly repay you handsomely!"

Li Jinyan swallowed her anger.

Because he is indeed in need of someone's help right now.

Jiang Wangzu now holds a very important position in Shanghai.

If Jiang Wangzu were to provide substantial financial assistance to the Li family, then the outcome of this battle would be uncertain.

However, without Jiang Wangzu's help, the Li family would have to form an alliance with other forces to resolve this crisis.

Even a single misstep could lead to total defeat.

"A rebel party?"

"I've heard that the Southern Revolutionary Army fought for national unification and for the people, so how come they've become a rebel party in your eyes?"

"Your Li family has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to concern myself with your relationship with the Canal Gang."

"Although I am the executive elder of the Canal Gang, I stopped participating in the specific affairs of the Canal Gang when I was promoted to elder."

"Besides, it seems your Li family supports Elder Cao, right? If you're short of money, you should be looking for Cao Rongsheng, that chamber pot, why are you coming here?"

"Is it simply because I'm richer than Cao Rongsheng?"

"To be honest, I just have a big business, but I really don't have any money."

"You can ask around about the working conditions at my factory; it's the highest in the entire city. So, the vast majority of my earnings go to paying the workers' wages."

"There's really nothing we can do to help your Li family!"

Jiang Wangzu said with great regret.

"Mr. Jiang, do you know what you're saying?"

"Given the prestige of the Li family, even someone like Ding Lie, who had no connection with the Li family, would have received at least several hundred thousand in tribute if I paid him a visit."

"And you're nothing but a dog raised by the canal gang, supported by my Li family. How dare you speak to me like that?"

Li Jinyan could no longer contain herself and glared at Jiang Wangzu, speaking sharply.

"Gone with the pretense of being a gentleman?"

"Has his true nature been revealed?"

"You should be glad that I have a large and successful family now, and that my temper is much better."

"If this were before, you would already be dead!"

Jiang Wangzu's expression changed, and an invisible aura pressed down on Li Jinyan.

Li Jinyan's expression immediately changed drastically!
