Chapter 139 True Disciple
Xin Zhen didn't care what Yue Buqun and his wife thought. He really didn't have any thoughts about Qi Zong, and he actually approved of Yue Buqun and his wife.

Yue Buqun is not a bad person. He is scheming and black-hearted, but in the dark jungle of "Swordsman", if you are not black-hearted, your entire sect will be overthrown if you lead it forward.

Xin Zhen was not afraid of associating with such people. On the contrary, he stayed away from simple-minded people like Tianmen Taoist, because you never know when such a person might be bewitched and stab you in the back.

Yue Buqun is a person who understands the general situation, knows when to advance and retreat, and cannot be easily bewitched. He is worth associating with.

As for the conflicts between the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect, Xin Zhen was very confident that when the Sword Sect grew to a certain size, the Qi Sect would come closer, so setting up a plan now would benefit future generations.

Xin Zhen's focus is still on cultivating talents.

A true genius is always like a cone in a bag, and will stand out at the slightest movement.

However, in just three months, a group of disciples stood out.

There were twenty disciples in the first batch who stood out, most of them were around fifteen or sixteen years old, including fourteen male disciples and six female disciples. One of them was Jiang Zicheng, who had left a deep impression on Xin Zhen before.

These twenty disciples, whether they were learning basic swordsmanship, Hunyuan Gong, or learning literacy, medicine, and martial arts history, all showed stronger talents than the other disciples.

After only three months of study, they have basically completed the learning of Huashan's basic swordsmanship, have basically mastered the basic Hunyuan Gong, can read articles by themselves, and are able to skillfully deal with all kinds of injuries and traumas. In Xin Zhen's martial arts history, they have demonstrated their relatively mature and independent personalities.

It can be said that these twenty people are academic masters with outstanding athletic talent and very useful brains.

In Xin Zhen's opinion, the talents of these twenty people are basically not much worse than Linghu Chong.

Of course, as to whether or not one can learn the Dugu Nine Swords, it is difficult to determine so early.

The Dugu Nine Swords is a type that is easy to learn but difficult to master. It is easy to get started, but it requires talent to improve.

Lin Pingzhi had learned Dugu Nine Swords before, and was actually able to learn the basic sword moves, but he gave up later because when he was using the sword moves, he found that there was no way to bring out the power of Dugu Nine Swords. The power was even worse than using Huashan Swordsmanship.

On this day, Xin Zhen invited Feng Qingyang, who was in seclusion, to come out, and also invited fellow apprentice Feng Bu Ping to attend, and held a ceremony of becoming an apprentice.

Regarding this apprenticeship ceremony, Feng Bu Ping and others all have their own preferences, and have already decided on these twenty disciples.

Feng Buping likes Mu Changjun, Tao Zhongke and Ji Wenshen, and plans to accept them as his disciples.

As for Cheng Buyou, he wanted to accept Hua Lizheng, Mu Xiji, Zhu Qingxuan and Zhao Weihe as his true disciples.

Cong Buqi values ​​Hao Nahai and Gao Bangning.

Originally, Xin Zhen wanted Lin Pingzhi to accept a group of disciples as well, but Lin Pingzhi was unwilling to do so, saying that apart from the Exorcism Sword Technique, his level of Huashan swordsmanship was not very high, and he really did not want to mislead his disciples.

As a result, ten of the twenty disciples still had no master. Xin Zhen originally wanted to give more to Feng Buping and the other two, but the three of them refused.

It was not until Ren Yingying told Xin Zhen about this in her boudoir that Xin Zhen suddenly realized what was going on.

Ren Yingying said: "Master Feng and his friends are people who stick to their duties. The three of them grew up together and have a very weak relationship.

However, within the Sword Sect today, you and Uncle Lin are from the same lineage as Grandmaster.

But Uncle Lin is unwilling to accept disciples, so only you can accept disciples. If they accept too many disciples, then their strength will surpass ours in the future. Who will have the final say in the affairs of the sect?

They are afraid that you might have an opinion."

Xin Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and said, "The Sword Sect hasn't really become strong yet, so we have to worry about these things for now."

Ren Yingying shook her head and said, "Brother Zhen, you have a broad vision and will not be obsessed with these things, but Uncle Feng and the others are right.

Throughout history, if a sect or school has a strong trunk and well-coordinated branches, the sect will naturally be harmonious.

But if the strength of the trunk and the branches is equal, the sect will soon fall apart.

Master Feng and the others know their limits, which is also a good thing for the Sword Sect."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "You are right. Senior Brother Feng and the others are also interested. Then I can only accept these disciples. Alas, I am afraid that I am alone and cannot handle it."

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, don't worry. Although they are your true disciples, they still take the other courses with the other disciples, so you don't need to worry too much.

All you need to do is to give regular guidance and teach some of your unique martial arts, such as the Dugu Nine Swords or other newly created sword techniques.

Besides, you still have me and Uncle Lin. Although Uncle Lin doesn't know much about Huashan swordsmanship, his Exorcism Swordsmanship is also the best whetstone for your disciples to hone their swordsmanship."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Madam."

Xin Zhen then smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Feng and the others are really something. These three people didn't accept any female disciples, and they stuffed all six female disciples here. It's really a headache."

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "The martial arts world is very wary of teacher-student relationships. After all, they don't have families. If they spend every day with female disciples, there will always be many inconveniences, so they might as well just choose male disciples."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "I understand. You will have to bear more of the burden."

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "It's okay. I like it very much."

When Xin Zhen heard this, he immediately understood Ren Yingying's idea. After all, Ren Yingying was not from the Huashan Sword Sect, so there was basically no chance for her to be accepted as a disciple.

But these six female disciples took Xin Zhen as their master. After all, Xin Zhen was a man, so he always needed to avoid suspicion. From now on, Ren Yingying would always be their master. Although she was not their master, she was better than a direct disciple.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Then don't be stingy with your unique skills."

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "Why should I be stingy? I regard them as my true disciples. As long as they have talent, I will teach them everything."

Xin Zhen couldn't help but feel happy for these six female disciples.

In the original novel, Ren Yingying does not seem to be known for her martial arts skills, but that is only because she is too young. Now she is only eighteen years old, but her martial arts skills are enough to rank among the top masters in the world.

This is clearly evidenced in the original book.

On Wubagang, Ren Yingying fought alone against four people, including Master Fang Sheng and three second-generation disciples. Not only did she kill two of them, she also forced Master Fang Sheng to use weapons to injure Ren Yingying.
