Chapter 201: Practicing Martial Arts is Not Immortality
The Wild Boar Steam Tank was named the Pig-Turn Tank by Yan Xu, and it can be finalized and mass-produced after a little improvement.

With the productivity of the film and television props workshop, it is no problem to produce more than a dozen vehicles a month. After all, the chassis of the Zhutu tank is a welded metal frame. After fixing the transmission device, lay wooden boards, and then install the steam engine and the outer shell. It does not require much technical content, and a skilled worker can do it.

In fact, if Yan Xu was willing to have the entire machinery factory produce Zhutu tanks, producing hundreds of them a month would not be a problem.

In addition, a batch of marine steam engines need to be prepared for installation on ships in the Japanese world, so the waiting time will be longer.

Although you can buy it in the late Qing Dynasty, it is far less cost-effective than making it yourself, and it is also more reliable. After all, the modern world clearly has more advantages in the design and processing of steam engines.

For example, the steam engine used in the Zhutu tank was made by Master Jiang and his team. It is one-third smaller than the ones purchased in the late Qing Dynasty, has higher fuel utilization efficiency, and is safer. At least it will not explode easily.

Therefore, manufacturing a ship steam engine is not really a big problem, because what Yan Xu needs is not the large steam engine that drives ships, but a steam engine used for small and medium-sized wooden sailing ships in Japan. The difficulty is not as great as imagined. If you can't make it yourself, you can go to other manufacturers to customize it. Anyway, the quantity needed is not small, so it is more cost-effective to buy in bulk.

But this obviously requires a long wait, so Yan Xu plans to go to the late Qing Dynasty world to practice for a while. As for the Japanese world, with the four ministries of the cabinet, he only needs to formulate a strategy, and there are not many other things that require his attention.

Moreover, this trip to the world of the late Qing Dynasty is also related to the issue of his cultivation, because Yan Xu found that he had entered a bottleneck period. The effect of daily exercise cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is pitifully small. If he continues like this, sooner or later there will be no room for improvement.

Yan Xu was certainly not used to the sudden slowdown after being accustomed to the rapid growth in strength.

However, he also knew that cultivation is like this. Rapid progress is the result of long-term accumulation. Most of the time, cultivation is like the process of water dripping through a stone.

But Yan Xu's situation is a little different. Others need to accumulate strength over time to break through the bottleneck, but he can fully stimulate the potential of his body and brain with his divine power and ghost body, and adapt to this change in a very short time. There is no so-called bottleneck at all.

But he is still a human being. Stepping into the supernatural realm does not mean he is no longer a human being, but that humans have their limits. Therefore, his bottleneck is that his potential has been exhausted and he can no longer rise.
Yang Zhenze had no way to solve Yan Xu's problem, because the strength of this last disciple had already exceeded his imagination.

Moreover, practicing martial arts is not the same as cultivating immortals. No matter how deep your skills are, you can only refine a piece of pig iron into steel at best. It is impossible to transcend the scope.

Yang Zhenze's words not only did not make Yan Xu feel frustrated, but also greatly inspired him, because this world not only has martial arts, but also spiritual practice. He was stuck in a dead end and limited his horizons.

Yan Xu was preparing to travel, and Yang Zhenze supported this. He even wrote him a lot of letters. They were all old friends from the past, but now they were separated by thousands of miles and he didn't know whether they were still alive.

These people are far less powerful than Yan Xu, but each of them has his own unique skills. Perhaps he can get some inspiration by visiting and communicating with them.

This shows that Yang Zhenze really treated Yan Xu as his personal disciple, because he brought his handwritten letter to his home, which undoubtedly acknowledged that the other party was his disciple.

These people knew in their hearts that for Yang Zhenze's sake, they would help him to become famous in front of outsiders. At least, they would let others know that there was such a person in Demon City, and thus fame would come.

Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, as a greenhorn, no one knows who you are. No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't beat everyone in the world.

Although people in the circle flatter each other, Yan Xu has to accept this favor and help them when they come to Shanghai. This is the way of the world.

Besides, Yan Xu would not refuse the kindness of his master Yang Zhenze. You have to know that this letter is not written randomly. Once he does something bad outside, Yang Zhenze will also be implicated. If the victim comes to his house, as a master, he must give him an explanation, even if it costs his life. Yan Xu put the letter away, and then called his master and Xiao Tianlang.

I won't be back for more than three to five months this time, so there are some things I must explain in advance and remind you of them.

Although he often came here at intervals before, he would not leave the Magic City and would be able to take timely action if anything happened. But this time he was traveling, and even if he left the world of the late Qing Dynasty and came back next time, he would not return to the Magic City, but to the place where he left originally. So if there was really a problem, let alone whether he could get back, it would be a problem whether he could know. At this time, there was no phone or mobile phone to contact in time.

Although telegrams and other tools existed, they were not that convenient or fast. If there was any urgent matter, it would be too late.

"I will be traveling outside in a couple of days. During this time, you have to take good care of the industries in Shanghai. I don't ask for any development, but at least you have to keep them for me until I come back. Got it?" Yan Xu said, knocking on the table.

"I understand, sir. As long as you are here, there will be no problem either with the officials or the foreigners. I just don't know how to replenish the goods." The lawyer started by praising and then asked the most crucial question.

The power and fame of the Guandi Society were all supported by Yan Xu. Without him, it would be over in less than half a month.

However, when the master said this at this time, he also wanted to hint at Xiao Tianlang's intention. After all, the military force of Guandi Society is in the hands of these seven brothers.

It's okay if the master is around, but if he's away for a long time, he's bound to have inappropriate thoughts, so we have to be on guard against this.

In fact, the master was worrying too much. The Seven Wolves had followed Yan Xu and fought from south to north and from west to east. They knew the boss's strength very well. If they really dared to betray him, they would know where you were during the day and disappear at night, it would be that fast. So it was impossible for them to betray him. Only by following the boss could they eat and sleep in peace.

"I will store enough goods to supply for six months in three warehouses. You can handle the sales, but remember, we sell luxury goods, not cheap commodities." Yan Xu has already prepared a batch of goods, and it will only take two days to replenish them.

However, given the popularity of these modern products, especially perfume and stockings, they would not last even a month if there were no restrictions.

Nowadays, countless foreigners come every day carrying gold and silver and want to buy everything, because as long as they take it back, they will be scrambled to buy it even if the price increases several times.

In fact, if these foreigners had not restrained each other and had not been able to figure out the source of these goods, they would have taken action long ago.

The explanation did not take much time, because Guandi Association's business in the Magic City was already on the right track, so there was not much that needed to be explained.

Simply put, during the time he is away, we just need to develop and consolidate the existing industries step by step.

He has a master for literature and seven wolves for martial arts, which are enough to protect his current property. If anything goes wrong, he can just wait for him to come back and kill them again.

They are not afraid of death, so Yan Xu might be afraid and unable to do it.
