Chapter 120 Sect Planning
Xin Zhen left Shaolin and headed west back to the North Peak of Mount Huashan.

This trip took a full three months. Although his journey was not the longest, he was the last to return because of various delays.

Lin Pingzhi, Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and others had returned long ago, and Cong Buqi's health had also recovered.

After not seeing her for three months, Qu Feiyan seemed to have grown a lot.

Everyone gathered together, and Feng Ping and others congratulated Xin Zhen on his great achievements and for making a great name for himself in the world.

Feng Buping smiled and said, "From now on, the first and second place in the world will belong to our Huashan Sword Sect. Let's go down the mountain and see who dares to bully us!"

Feng Qingyang laughed and scolded: "You can say this on the mountain, but don't say it after you get off the mountain, or people will laugh at you."

Cheng Buyou smiled and said, "Uncle Junior, you are worrying too much. The master's sword skills and inner strength are improving by leaps and bounds. In another year or two, I'm afraid Dongfang Bubai won't be able to defeat the master. Uncle Junior, you just don't walk around in the martial arts world. If you were to walk around, you would have been number one in the world long ago."

Feng Qingyang shook his head and said, "How can it be that easy? I heard from Zhen'er that Dongfang Bubai is indeed the best in the world. Zhen'er just defended himself. It is almost impossible to defeat Dongfang Bubai, unless it is a few years later.

As for me..."

Feng Qingyang pondered for a while and said, "If I win, it will be within a thousand moves. If it exceeds a thousand moves, I'm afraid Dongfang Bubai will still win."

Everyone fell silent. What Feng Qingyang meant was that he was old after all, and could maintain his strength within a thousand moves, but after a thousand moves, the young and strong Dongfang Bubai would definitely win.

Feng Qingyang saw that everyone was in low spirits and said with a smile: "This is the way of heaven. There is nothing to regret. In a few years, Zhen'er will definitely surpass Dongfang Bubai. By then, he will truly be the best in the world!"

Everyone then started laughing.

Feng Buping then said, "This time we go out, we can also publicize the news that the Sword Sect has opened its mountain gate. How should we develop the sect next?"

Everyone looked at Xin Zhen, who smiled and said, "If you have any opinions, please tell me first and I'll sort them out."

Feng Qingyang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just say it directly. When it comes to business, all of us put together are no match for you."

Xin Zhen shook his head and smiled, "Master, don't underestimate yourselves. You have seen the splendor of Huashan Sect during its heyday. How could you not know how a big sect is run?"

Feng Buding and his men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Cong Buqi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I have seen Junior Master Uncle, but Junior Master Uncle often traveled around the martial arts world when he was young, and rarely stayed in the sect. Moreover, Junior Master Uncle was not trained as the head of the sect, so he is not very familiar with the operation of the sect.

As for the three of us brothers, we were still young at that time and knew nothing. We only had a vague understanding of sword techniques, let alone something as lofty as running a sect.

So, Master, you should come to handle this matter. We really can’t come.”

Xin Zhen smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you first, and you can add to it later."

Everyone nodded.

Xin Zhen smiled and took out the 50,000 taels of silver from the Taoist priest Tianmen, saying, "This is the money I earned this time when I went down the mountain. There are 50,000 taels. Adding the previous 50,000 taels, we now have 100,000 taels of sect funds to use.

With so few people now, we can't spend all the money even if we spend ten or eight years, so we don't have to worry about spending for the time being. So, fellow disciples, your main task in the near future is to find talented disciples and quickly expand the number of disciples. The more disciples the better."

Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "That's right, Bu Ping, Bu You, Bu Qi, the three of you must recruit disciples as soon as possible and go down the mountain starting tomorrow."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry, I still have something to say."

Cheng Buyou smiled and said, "Go ahead, Master. Just tell me what you want."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The three senior brothers need to accept fifty disciples each..."

When Xin Zhen said this, everyone present was shocked. Feng Qingyang hurriedly said, "Zhen'er, how can they teach so many disciples? You must know that since ancient times, everyone who teaches disciples has taught them hand in hand. It is amazing that each person can teach five or six lands. These fifty disciples... it is really impossible to teach them all!"

Feng Buping also said, "Yes, Master, if we accept so many disciples at once, firstly, we will not be able to teach them all, and secondly, we will neglect to test their character. We are afraid that we will accept some disciples with bad character, which will be very bad."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, just listen to me first..."

Xin Zhen had thought a lot about this issue, and he could express it quite fluently at this moment.

"…In the first phase, we will accept 200 outer disciples. These 200 disciples will pass various learning assessments and be promoted to inner disciples if they excel. The more outstanding inner disciples can be accepted as true disciples by all of you brothers.

In other words, the Sword Sect's disciples are divided into true disciples, inner disciples, and outer disciples.

True disciples are the real high-end fighting force of the Sword Sect in the future, while inner disciples are the backbone of the sect, and outer disciples are the guards, shopkeepers, and persons in charge of the sect's various businesses. "

Feng Qingyang nodded in satisfaction after hearing this and said, "Jian'er is indeed good at management. In this way, the basic framework of the sect has been established. However, there is still a small problem. There are 200 disciples, but we only have a few of them. How should we teach them?"

The others were also a little worried.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I've thought about this as well. We can use the school system and divide the classes. The six of us can be teachers, Master, the three senior brothers, the junior brother, and me. Oh, yes, there are also Senior Brother Yue and his wife from Qi Sect, and Brother Linghu. You can also invite them to come and teach."

Feng Qingyang and others looked strange.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are definitely willing. Senior Brother Yue understands this principle. The Sword Sect has our master and the five of us brothers. The rise of the Sword Sect is unstoppable.

The only way for the Qi Sect to survive in the future is to actively approach us. If they still adopt a hostile attitude, they will have to move out of Huashan within twenty years.

Therefore, if Senior Brother Yue has this opportunity, he will definitely come to teach actively and make friends with the disciples of the Sword Sect, so that the disciples of the Sword Sect will treat the disciples of the Qi Sect well in the future. "

Cong Buqi worriedly said, "It seems a little inappropriate. Yue Buqun is a hypocritical person. If he is allowed to deceive the disciples, then the Sword Sect will have no secrets left."

Xin Zhen shook his head and smiled, "What secrets does a sect need? Strength is the foundation. Our Sword Sect follows the kingly way, and rewards and punishments are clear within the sect. Everyone can be valued within the sect, so naturally everyone will work hard.

By the time we train 200 disciples, the Sword Sect will have completely established itself. Moving forward, the Air Sect may want to become our vassal. There is nothing to worry about."
