Chapter 119 Buying and selling swordsmanship!

Tianmen Dao was dumbfounded: "One hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Xin Zhen chuckled: "Why, Taoist Tianmen thinks the Five Great Doctors Sword is not worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Taoist Tianmen smiled bitterly and said, "The Five-Master Sword is the foundation of the Taishan Sect. The reason why the Taishan Sect has been able to stand firm in the martial arts world for hundreds of years is largely due to this sword technique. Of course, it is worth 100,000 taels of silver, but how can our Taishan Sect come up with 100,000 taels of silver?"

Xin Zhen sneered, "The Taishan Sect dominates Shandong. There are hundreds of acres of fertile land at the foot of Mount Tai, and hundreds of martial arts schools at the foot of the mountain. The Taishan Sect has its hands in all the escorts, various gangs, shipping companies, restaurants, and all kinds of businesses in Shandong.

Shandong is a wealthy province, with hundreds of years of accumulation. You tell me that you can't even come up with 100,000 taels of silver?"

Taoist Tianmen smiled bitterly and said, "Master Xin, you are also the master of a sect, don't you know that the sect has a lot of income, but the expenses are naturally high.

I have nearly a thousand inner disciples in Mount Tai, including six or seven hundred. Together with the outer disciples, there are more than two or three thousand people. These people have to receive a monthly salary.

You also know that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Without money, how can you train your body, buy a sword, and travel the world?

To tell you the truth, Taishan Sect does have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in revenue every year, but it also has to spend the same amount every year, so it is absolutely impossible to save any money. If there is a disaster, we have to pay for it, so how can there be any money left?"

Xin Zhen laughed: "Neither this nor that. Do you think that the Taishan Sect wants to take back the foundation of the sect?"

Taoist Tianmen quickly shook his head and said, "It's not that there aren't any, but there aren't that many!"

Xin Zhen looked up at Tianmen Taoist and said, "Tell me, how much can you give?"

Taoist Tianmen gritted his teeth and stretched out a palm.

Xin Zhen frowned: "Just 50,000 taels?"

Taoist Tianmen smiled bitterly and said, "Five thousand taels."

Xin Zhen waved his sleeves and wanted to go back inside, but Tianmen Taoist hurriedly said, "Ten thousand taels!"

Xin Zhen turned around and laughed, "You said I spread the word in the martial arts world that I would sell this Wu Dafu sword to the highest bidder. How much do you think it would sell for?"

Taoist Tianmen laughed and said, "Anyone who dares to buy Taishan Sect's swordsmanship is risking their lives."

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "What if those people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect want to buy it?"

Taoist Tianmen smiled bitterly and said, "Master Xin, you are a righteous man after all. You can't do something that will make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy, right?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's true that I can't, but I'd rather let this sword technique rot in my hands."

Taoist Tianmen gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty thousand taels, no more!"

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Forty thousand taels, if you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it."

Taoist Tianmen's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty thousand taels!"

Xin Zhen looked at the Taoist priest of Tianmen, shook his head and sighed, "Originally, you didn't have to pay a penny, but you have to spend so much money now. Why bother? Okay, let's do it this way. One hand pays the other hand receives the goods."

Taoist Tianmen let out a long sigh and said, "I have another request."

Xin Zhen didn't say anything.

Taoist Tianmen said: "I want to add your understanding of the Five Great Doctors' Sword Technique, which is the one you performed on Mount Tai."

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "You're wishful thinking. That sword technique is at least half a level more powerful than the original Five Great Doctors' Sword Technique. Do you want to take it away for just 30,000 taels?"

Taoist Tianmen stretched out a finger and said, "I will add another ten thousand taels, a total of forty thousand taels."

Xin Zhen was actually amused by Tianmen Taoist. This man looked straightforward, but he had a lot of tricks when it came to doing business. Just to be honest, how could someone who could become the head of a sect be so stupid! Xin Zhen said decisively, "Fifty thousand taels."

Taoist Tianmen was delighted and said, "Okay, fifty thousand taels is fifty thousand taels! You have to promise to teach me!"

Xin Zhen: “…”

Grass.

Although he felt like he was being set up, Xin Zhen really wanted to make this deal, and it was a mutually beneficial one. With 50,000 taels of silver as a base, even if the Sword Sect accepted a large number of disciples in the past ten years and had no other income, it would be able to support it.

Taoist Tianmen naturally did not carry so much silver or banknotes on him, but Shaolin Temple was a wealthy temple, so Taoist Tianmen borrowed money from Fangzheng and then gave it to Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen kept his promise and taught Tianmen Taoist his understanding of the Five Great Doctors' Sword Technique.

After dealing with this matter, Xin Zhen said goodbye to Shaolin. Before leaving, Fang Zheng met with Xin Zhen specifically.

Fang Zheng said: "Master Xin, this matter has been resolved. You have made a great harvest on this trip to the martial arts world. What are your plans next?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The Sword Sect has just been established. After returning, it is natural to recruit many disciples and carefully train them for more than ten or twenty years before there are disciples who can take over."

Fang Zheng nodded and smiled, "With Sect Leader Xin's great talent and extraordinary skills, the situation in the martial arts world may change in twenty years."

Xin Zhen shook his head and said, "Nine Swords of Dugu is too dependent on talent, and so is Purple Cloud Skill, so when teaching disciples, we have to follow the Huashan Sword School's methods, which is at best a Songshan School.

Moreover, I am a lazy person by nature and have no intention of pursuing a career in politics. What a pity.

In fact, if my master hadn't had such high expectations of me, I wouldn't want to get involved in this mess. When an outstanding disciple takes over, I'd rather live in the woods than do this kind of fighting and killing, which is too boring."

Afterwards, Xin Zhen said goodbye and left, leaving behind his two fellow disciples Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng.

Fang Zheng said: "Junior brother, do you think what Master Xin said is credible?"

Fang Sheng said respectfully: "I know about Master Xin's experience, and it should be from the heart."

Fang Zheng nodded and said, "That would be best."

After saying this, Fang Zheng left, leaving Fang Sheng thoughtful.

Xin Zhen descended from Mount Shaoshi and looked back at Mount Taishi and Mount Shaoshi facing each other in the distance. He sneered in his heart and thought that Fang Zheng was probably afraid of him and made a special trip to ask about his next plan because he was afraid that he would become another Zuo Lengchan.

Xin Zhen showed weakness, saying that he would focus his main energy on developing his own sect in the next ten to twenty years and would not stir up trouble in the martial arts world.

He also emphasized that his Zixia Gong and Dugu Nine Swords value talent, which was to explain to Fang Zheng that there would not be too many geniuses like him in the future and that they would not threaten Shaolin's position.

He also specifically said that he was not very interested in the affairs of the martial arts world in order to dispel Fang Zheng's suspicion.

Of course, these words are just talk, and Fang Zheng may not believe them, but some things just have to be pointed out. When you become really powerful, naturally no one can stop you from doing this.

When Xin Zhen thought of this, he laughed out loud and felt a surge of ambition in his heart.

Your Shaolin has been the leader in the martial arts world for hundreds of years. It is indeed extremely powerful. No matter how outstanding the heroes of each generation are in the martial arts world, your Shaolin can only watch the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard.

The reason is simply that Shaolin has 72 unique skills and a profound cultural heritage. With the accumulation from generation to generation, there will always be talented people emerging. However, those heroes in the world are good enough, but it is difficult for them to pass on their skills.

But just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean that I, Xin Zhen, can’t do it.

What I, Xin Zhen, am best at is not martial arts, but running a business!
Give me thirty years, and I, Xin Zhen, will create a top sword sect in this world. One day, the saying that all sword techniques in the world come from Huashan will spread throughout the world!
