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

Headquarters of the Canal Gang.

In Xu Shanyue's study.

Xu Shanyue, Gu Changqing, and Dai Qinghe were all sitting on the sofa.

Gu Changqing was still holding the proposal written by Jiang Wangzu in his hand.

Xu Shanyue has some business acumen, but not much.

Therefore, Gu Changqing was always in charge of the commercial affairs of the Grand Canal Gang.

"Sixth Brother, is this the work written by Jiang Wangzu, the one my niece Zhenzhen recommended to you?"

"Does he really possess strength comparable to a master of cultivation at the age of eighteen?"

Jiang Wangzu's business plan was written in great detail, and even someone like him, who wasn't particularly good at business, could understand it.

He knew this person was very talented, a real genius.

However, he learned from Dai Qinghe that Jiang Wangzu was actually recommended by her niece, Xu Zhenzhen.

Moreover, this person is very young and is skilled in both literature and martial arts.

This surprised him somewhat.

If Dai Qinghe hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a distant niece.

"Boss, would I lie to you about something like this?"

"Master, you've been looking at this for ages. Is what A-Zu wrote actually feasible?"

Dai Qinghe answered Xu Shanyue's question, then glanced at Gu Changqing and asked.

"The content is detailed and practical."

"Moreover, if we can break through this situation, it will definitely be a major benefit for our canal gang."

"It might be more lucrative than those shady businesses."

"But this kid kept it to himself."

"He wrote down every detail about opening the dance hall, but he didn't write about how to operate it."

"It seems we absolutely need him to manage the dance halls of our canal gang."

"With perfect physical strength, such a business mind, and beautiful handwriting, she has proven to have good cultural literacy."

"He's skilled in both literature and martial arts; truly a promising talent. We should give him a try!"

Gu Changqing smiled faintly, not too concerned about Jiang Wangzu's petty tricks.

After all, the idea came from someone else.

Humans are inherently selfish.

It's easier to control someone if they have selfish motives.

If it were a great sage who had no desires or wants, then it would be really too difficult to control him.

"In that case, let's get it approved at the council of elders."

"All matters concerning the dance hall are to be handled by Jiang Wangzu."

"Having perfected his strength training, his power is not bad at all."

"But whether I can hold onto this position is another matter."

Xu Shanyue remarked with emotion.

Doing business isn't about fighting and killing; it's about understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

Even for him, closing deals isn't so easy.

A martial arts master at the Power Realm might at most get a little extra face in business.

When it comes to core interests, we must fight to the bitter end.

"I've thought about opening a nightclub for a long time."

"But I always thought that nightclubs were places for the upper class to have fun."

"If our canal gang rashly gets involved in some businesses in the upper city, it may bring unnecessary trouble."

"Moreover, there are more than a dozen nightclubs in the Upper District, four of which have become well-known. We are already a bit late to the game at this time."

"But I didn't expect that Jiang Wangzu would take a different approach and try to integrate the existing resources of our Cao Gang in the Lower City to create a dance hall that ordinary people can afford."

"It looks like it has potential."

"If he succeeds, we can use his method to expand the nightclub business throughout the lower city, and then we can just sit back and wait to rake in the money!"

Gu Changqing put down the proposal in his hand and spoke.

He wouldn't even consider the business of a nightclub, unless it was one of the four major nightclubs in the upper district.

But what he wanted was to turn going to nightclubs into a business.

"Let's do it!"

Xu Shanyue immediately made the decision.

Xu Shanyue, Gu Changqing, and Dai Qinghe are busy convening a meeting of the elders of the Canal Gang.

Jiang Wangzu became a core member of the gang and completely broke away from Chen Tai.

Little Fairy Doctor still doesn't have the essence blood of exotic beasts or the black tiger bone, and there's been no sign of the Nine-Turn Secret Medicine from the Mysterious Altar.

So he could only go to Chen Liujia's house to practice martial arts with Han Qiao.

"Sister Qiao, do you know any way to get your hands on black tiger bones and exotic beast blood?"

"I can exchange a recipe for a power-building elixir with you. If there's a price difference, I'll write you an IOU and pay you back when I have the money!"

After sparring with Han Qiao for two hours, Jiang Wangzu asked a question.

He wanted to ask Chen Liujia directly, but he felt that Han Qiao was a better target.

Moreover, Yan Ruyu said that Han Qiao was a big businesswoman in the upper district, not only a rich woman, but also with a wide network of connections.

"Black tiger bone?"

"The essence blood of a strange beast?"

"I remember that Master also had a bone from a black tiger beast here."

"It can be used as both black tiger bone and the essence of exotic beasts."

"Moreover, the quality of the black tiger bone and the essence of the exotic beast far surpasses that of ordinary black tiger bones and exotic beast blood, and it is also perfectly compatible with the Tiger Form Fist you cultivate."

"If Master is reluctant to part with them, I can use my connections to find black tiger bones and the essence blood of exotic beasts for you, but that will take time."

Han Qiao thought for a moment, then spoke.

"The training of strength has been completed."

"It seems they want to adjust the training formula."

"Was it Yan who modified your strength-training formula?"

"You're really lucky, kid."

"It's a privilege to meet a top-notch doctor like Yan Yatou."

"That strange beast, the black tiger, was something I obtained by risking my life and working with a few old friends. I got about a quarter of it."

"Now all that's left is a hind leg bone."

"Take it if you need it."

"However, you must tell me your entire inheritance, including the formulas for the two power-refining elixirs. I wonder if you're willing to part with them?"

Chen Liujia, who was resting on a grand chair under the pavilion, opened his eyes upon hearing Jiang Wangzu's words and said with a smile.

"no problem."

"Um... old man, I'm a little short of money for refining the power-enhancing elixir."

"Could you please go all the way and see this through to the end?"

"Give me another ten thousand silver dollars?"

Jiang Wangzu immediately agreed, then shyly held up one finger.

"Write down your legacy first before we talk about anything else!"

Chen Liujia smiled calmly and did not immediately agree to Jiang Wangzu's request.

Although at first he didn't think Jiang Wangzu's training method was that powerful.

But later he felt more and more how terrifying Jiang Wangzu's power was.

Now that he has mastered the Great Strength Training, even without considering the enhancement from the Horizontal Training Technique, his pure strength has already surpassed that of a martial artist who has reached the Perfect Strength Training stage.

"good!"

Jiang Wangzu did not value the Black Tiger Fist manual in his possession too much.

Even the recipes for power-refining elixirs from the attribute panel are things he can trade at any time.

Chen Liujia was very satisfied with Jiang Wangzu's attitude.

Jiang Wangzu's actions show that this kid is the same type of person as him, and doesn't value the inheritance of martial arts at all.

In this era, the prejudice against martial arts lineages is far too strong.

They cherish their own martial arts manuals and secret techniques, preferring to let them rot rather than allow them to be passed on.

How can martial arts progress under such circumstances?

When will a figure who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts emerge?
