The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

His status and power were insufficient to change the current atmosphere of the Beggars' Sect.

But changing Huarong Xiangtang would be much simpler. It would simply be a matter of personally demonstrating what it means to prioritize chivalry!

That's right. Jia Huan believed that since he had transmigrated here and was even a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, if he didn't make some changes, wouldn't his transmigration have been in vain?

Transforming the Beggars' Sect, which has become a traditional Jianghu gang, is a rather interesting thing.

At the same time, he can personally experience the difference between internal energy and the cultivation system in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, and whether he can further improve his own breathing techniques.

In the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, he basically plays the role of the behind-the-scenes big boss. Now that he has arrived in the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, he wants to live a different life.

In fact, many disciples of Huarong Xiangtang were quite puzzled or even somewhat resistant to his enthusiastic and proactive approach to helping others.

After all, they've only had a few good days.

Is it necessary to spend time helping ordinary people and lower-level martial arts practitioners instead of enjoying life or improving one's martial arts skills?

Unfortunately, Jia Huan was the leader of the incense hall, and his martial arts skills were undeniable, so the disciples of the incense hall could only obediently follow his orders.

Sure enough, Jia Huan, holding a bright green bamboo pole, strode out of the City God Temple stronghold.

The disciples of the nearby incense hall, especially those formal disciples whose martial arts skills had reached the level of ordinary martial arts practitioners, picked up their weapons and followed without saying a word.

Having experienced this so many times, it's become a habit, and there's nothing more to say about it.

"Young Master Jia has arrived!"

"Young Master Jia is here! We have a powerful backer now!"

"Young Master Jia, we don't know where this bunch of thugs came from. You'd better go and chase them away. Otherwise, you'll have no hope for the future. These guys came up here and wanted to draw blood!"

"Young Master Jia, if you're going to fight, please let us know in advance. Although we haven't learned martial arts, we are quite strong and can still be of some use!"

"..."

What is public support? What is the will of the people?

What's happening at the dock right now perfectly illustrates everything.

When Jia Huan arrived at the dock with a group of disciples from the Xiangtang, the fishermen there looked as if they had found their backbone.

They weren't shy at all, greeting him warmly and treating him like one of their own.

"Don't worry, everyone. If there's any injustice, I'll take care of it!"

With a broad smile, Jia Huan waved to the enthusiastic fishermen, reassuring them, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"

When he first took over as the head of the incense shop, the fishermen at the docks didn't treat him with such enthusiasm; on the contrary, they seemed to avoid him like the plague.

There's no other reason. The previous dead ghost, Wu Xiangzhu, was no benevolent person. He did all sorts of bad and evil things to make money, and the fishermen at the dock naturally suffered as a result.

Of course, it wasn't the dead ghost Wu Xiangzhu himself who harassed the fishermen at the dock, but rather his bunch of trusted lackeys who bullied and exploited the fishermen without any mercy.

The most common tactic was collecting protection money, which caused the fishermen a great deal of trouble.

After Jia Huan became the head of the incense shop, it was not an easy task for him to gain the favor of the fishermen at the dock.

Fortunately, he did quite well and gradually gained their trust through his sincerity, which led to the scene described earlier, and he felt quite accomplished.

"What's going on? Where's the powerful figure from the other side?"

He casually asked questions while dealing with the enthusiastic fishermen.

Immediately, a fisherman pointed out the direction, and Jia Huan led his disciples there.

Soon, a dozen or so strong men were seen occupying an area on the dock pier.

The area they occupied divided the small market at the pier and dock into two sections.

Whether going to the pier to board a boat or unloading fish from the boat to sell at the small market, you have to pass through the area occupied by these guys.

This is similar to setting up checkpoints and charging fees!

Jia Huan immediately noticed something amiss, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression grew increasingly cold.

"The Beggars' Sect is here! Everyone be careful!"

Those burly men naturally saw Jia Huan and his group, who were still acting aggressively, and naturally became alert and took a defensive stance.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Before Jia Huan could even speak, his henchmen shouted, "We welcome anyone who wants to do normal business, but if you're here to claim territory and act tough, then please leave. You're not welcome here!"

"You Beggars' Sect are meddling too much, even in our fish-selling business?"

A man on the other side spoke up with a sneer: "What, do you think we're in your way?"

"It's not a matter of whether it's in the way or not, the key question is what you want to do?"

At this moment, Jia Huan had already walked up to these guys and calmly said, "Look at you all, what have you done to the local fishermen? And you're still being stubborn?"

"Who's being stubborn?"

The man opposite said unhappily, "What's wrong with us brothers taking a liking to this auspicious place? Does the Beggars' Sect have to meddle in such trivial matters?"

"Heh, the key point is that you deliberately broke the rules here!"

Jia Huan spoke solemnly: "I refuse to believe that you didn't understand the rules here before you came!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the small market at the dock that they were passing by.

This was established jointly by dock managers and fishermen at his suggestion and urging.

The goal is simple: to pool the resources of fishermen and create a visible scale advantage.

You have a certain degree of bargaining power when negotiating with vendors!

In addition, it also prevents corrupt officials in government offices from excessively collecting various exorbitant taxes and levies.

After all, with so many people involved, even the officials in the government offices wouldn't dare to do anything too outrageous in broad daylight.

With Beggars' Sect disciples supervising them, the Jianghu gangs responsible for managing the docks dared not go too far.

Under such circumstances, the fishermen's income naturally increased significantly.

Some of the young and middle-aged disciples of the incense hall who transitioned into fishermen were also able to earn more money.

In this way, it can be said that all parties benefited. The fishermen who made a living at the dock were naturally grateful to Jia Huan, the instigator, and his prestige rose in the process.

Right now, the group of young and strong men coming from across the river have clearly seen the development potential or the speed at which money can be made at the dock, and they're rushing over to reap the rewards.

The reason Jia Huan didn't act immediately was mainly to explain the reasoning clearly, at least to let his brothers and the fishermen listening in know that he was on the side of reason.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jia Huan's question, the man opposite him became impatient and shouted angrily, "What rules or regulations? We brothers don't care about those!"

"Heh, looks like you guys want to play with fists, huh? Well then, we'll play along to the end, brothers, let's go!"

As he spoke, he flicked the emerald green bamboo pole in his hand, and it shot out like a spear.

The tips of the emerald green bamboo stalks are not sharp, but rather somewhat rounded.

Even so, the power of the emerald green bamboo pole in Jia Huan's hands was beyond what others could imagine. With a single, gentle thrust, he sent the nearest young man flying.

In just a moment of fighting, he figured out his opponent's strengths and weaknesses.

A level of skill that's considered top-tier in the martial arts world!

Looking at the other people's fight, the accompanying disciples of the incense hall were fighting back and forth with the group of young men.

Hmm, Wudang Cotton Palm, and Tiger Claw Hand?

So he really is a member of the Wudang sect, that's interesting.

As for why he knew them, isn't Hubei Province right across the river, which is Wudang's territory?

The incense hall is located in Huarong, which is just across the river from Jianli in Hubei Province.

After all, he's a neighbor, and one of the most respected figures in the martial arts world; it's only right to get to know him.

Given the Wudang Sect's consistently cautious approach, he didn't believe they would proactively extend their reach over here.

However, the Wudang Sect itself may not be clear about how its peripheral forces operate.

As for this group of guys who are eyeing the profits from Huarong Wharf, they are definitely causing trouble outside under the banner of the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect has not fallen to such a low level.

It's even possible that they had thoroughly investigated the situation at Huarong Xiangtang before coming over with such confidence.

They probably didn't expect Jia Huan, the leader of the Beggars' Sect's Huarong Incense Hall, to react so quickly and fiercely, directly bringing his brothers to drive people away.

Unable to gain the upper hand, they became enraged and started fighting.

It can only be said that they do indeed have some confidence and ability.

When they first started fighting, the Xiangtang brothers were able to hold their own against these guys, but they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

There's no other reason; the simple external martial arts used by the brothers in the incense hall, such as Taizu Long Fist, Taizu Staff Technique, Snake-driving Staff Technique, Eagle Claw Hand, and Grappling Hand, are too crude.

The group of guys he fought, although they only knew the Wudang Cotton Palm and Tiger Claw Hand, were far more skilled than basic external martial arts.

The upper limit of Wudang Cotton Palm is extremely high. It can even be used as the fundamental training method for Wudang disciples, and it will not be outdated even when cultivated to the highest level.

As for the Tiger Claw Hand, its potential is also quite high. If it were placed in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, it could be used as a core martial art by top-tier martial arts masters. It certainly cannot be compared to simple external martial arts.

Sure enough, the brothers of Xiangtang were quickly suppressed in terms of martial arts, and they were all so angry that they cried out, but they were helpless.
