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

"Snow lotuses may exist atop the Tianshan Mountains, but thousand-year-old snow lotuses are extremely rare and hard to come by!"

"I'm afraid only some martial arts sects near Tianshan have such treasures."

"As for the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul, it also needs to be found in the snow mountains, as it is the essence of ice and snow."

"I remember my grandfather saying that there were a few in the treasury of the previous dynasty, which were taken by nobles in the imperial court as items to ward off the summer heat."

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Jiang Wangzu and spoke.

Jiang Wangzu's eyes twitched upon hearing this.

This time, the Dan Jin secret medicine is indeed a bit extravagant!

"Go find it as much as you can!"

"While these things are valuable, we now possess items that are just as valuable."

"You can always find something by exchanging items, you just need to wait."

Jiang Wangzu spoke up.

If he fails to refine the Qi Sea Snow Mountain Pill, his hastily cultivated Qi in forty days will likely take four hundred days.

Four hundred days, or a little over a year, are needed to complete the Dan Jin (a type of internal energy cultivation).

This speed would feel like flying to an ordinary martial artist, but it was nothing to Jiang Wangzu.

But if you really can't find it, there's nothing you can do. You can't rush these things!

If all else fails, then I'll start with the Asura Overlord Body Technique and become a master of horizontal martial arts.

Although the methods of a martial arts master who practices external techniques are not as numerous as those of a master of orthodox martial arts.

But his physical body is incredibly strong, and he can withstand a lot of beatings!

In the past two months, Jiang Wangzu's martial arts skills have not only improved rapidly, but the construction of Shanghai has also not lagged behind.

Thanks to Jiang Wangzu's extravagant spending, Shanghai underwent a dramatic transformation in just two months.

Today's Shanghai could be considered the most fortified city in the Republic of China era.

Aside from some shortcomings in air defense measures, it is already quite perfect.

Seeing how thick and heavy the walls of Shanghai were, with all sorts of defensive fortresses and military bunkers appearing one after another.

The major warlords in the south could no longer sit still.

A few days ago, more than a dozen warlords sent troops to block all entrances and exits to Shanghai and issued an ultimatum.

All military defense projects in Shanghai have been put on hold; otherwise, troops would be deployed directly to Shanghai!

Jiang Wangzu and the others naturally knew when to stop.

However, since these military defense projects were built, it has become increasingly difficult for business owners in Shanghai to do business.

Businesses in Shanghai are booming.

However, outside of Shanghai, it's extremely difficult to make any progress, and some businesses even lose money while gaining publicity.

Only some financial magnates who were on good terms with the southern warlords were allowed to continue doing business normally in the warlords' territories after ceding a considerable amount of benefits.

As for expanding his business throughout the entire southern region as before, that would be extremely difficult.

It wasn't that anyone was deliberately making things difficult for them.

Because the entire southern province was engulfed in war.

Only a few provinces have not yet been affected by the war.

The dragon-slaying plan of the major southern warlords was a great success, and the direct descendants of the Pan family suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this, Pan Longtian immediately launched a counterattack, contacting all the prominent martial arts forces in the five provinces under his control to discuss a plan to decapitate the major warlords in the south.

Both sides take turns performing, each spending money to try and save the other's life.

They're incredibly busy!

In the two months that followed, many minor warlords lost all their troops and resigned.

Even veteran warlords suffered heavy losses and began to frantically plunder the people's wealth to replenish their military funds.

In addition, many places have forced conscription, leading to widespread resentment.

This world is truly becoming more and more chaotic!

Within a few days, a piece of news arrived, immediately triggering a major earthquake throughout Shanghai!

Pan Longtian, leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army, has died!

[Breaking News! Pan Longtian, leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army, has been assassinated!]

[Breaking News! Breaking News! The Southern Revolutionary Army is leaderless, and the Pan family's direct descendants have suffered heavy casualties!]

[Breaking News! Breaking News! The Southern Revolutionary Army may be falling apart, and the landscape of the South is about to undergo a historic change!]

【…】

The news of Pan Longtian's assassination came like a bolt from the blue.

Newspapers were flying everywhere in the streets and alleys of Shanghai. Although Jiang Wangzu had received the news the night before, he still couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Is the Southern Revolutionary Army, which spans five provinces and boasts over 100,000 troops, about to be wiped out?"

"How is this possible?"

"How can this be allowed?"

Jiang Wangzu frowned and spoke.

He immediately called Pan Zhen.

He just delivered a batch of important supplies to Cangwu Province, and the Pan family hasn't even paid yet!

If we can pull it back the way it came, that would be good.

But now the Southern Revolutionary Army is leaderless and various warlords are joining forces to attack. At such a chaotic time, he is worried that his goods, meat buns, will be lost forever!

"Bring me to the Pan Mansion in Huacheng!"

Jiang Wangzu cranked the telephone to contact the operator in Shanghai.

Telephones are not yet common in the Western Continent, and in the Great New Republic of the Eastern Continent, only a few government departments, businesses, and warlords in a few cities have them.

Jiang Wangzu had only recently installed a telephone, and from then on, he began to contact Pan Zhen by phone.

"Sir, we cannot reach the Pan Mansion in Huacheng!"

Shortly after, the operator called back, which made his heart sink.

"Send a telegram to Pan Zhen immediately and ask him how he is doing."

"Can the Pan family still control the situation?"

Jiang Wangzu immediately contacted his private telegraph operator and began sending telegrams.

In fact, the Daxin Republic of China prohibited private ownership of telegrams.

However, the situation is currently chaotic, and many warlords have their own telegraph machines.

Jiang Wangzu's current size is definitely comparable to that of a small warlord, and since he is in Shanghai, a city with a highly developed economy, it is quite normal for him to own a small private telegraph machine.

Before telephones were installed, Jiang Wangzu and Pan Zhen would communicate via telegraph.

Pan Zhen was the commander of the main force regiment of the Southern Revolutionary Army, which had a force of 3,000 men. They were all equipped with Western weapons and were incredibly powerful. These 3,000 men could easily be used as a force of 10,000 men, if not 30,000.

This is Grandpa Pan paving the way for his eldest grandson.

In a few years, he will become the commander of the main brigade, the commander of the main division, and eventually the commander of the main army of the Pan family's direct line.

Once Old Master Pan dies or relinquishes power, he can become the new leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army.

A modern, energetic, and young leader of the Southern Revolutionary Army can certainly inject new vitality into this powerful force!

pity!

Things didn't go as planned!

Now that Old Master Pan is dead, the Southern Revolutionary Army is leaderless.

In addition, Pan Zhen was still relatively inexperienced and could not control the arrogant and fierce soldiers under his grandfather.

His third uncle, Pan Huaijin, might be able to, but it's impossible for him to completely control the situation.

After all, none of the five commanders of the Southern Revolutionary Army were from the Pan family, and his third uncle was just a division commander of a direct division!

Furthermore, with the combined forces of various warlords in the south, large and small, to suppress them, it's hard to say that these people might harbor ulterior motives.

To be honest, Jiang Wangzu still had a good impression of the Pan family's Southern Revolutionary Army.

They especially valued Pan Zhen, a man of great principle.

He felt that if Pan Zhen took over the Southern Revolutionary Army and unified the South in the future, it would be beneficial to the entire New Republic of China.
