Chapter 171 The Seven Swords of Mount Hua
This statement is not a big problem.

In the eyes of Feng Ping and others, Xin Zhen's swordsmanship has reached a point where they can hardly understand it, and Xin Zhen's internal strength is increasing day by day. As Xin Zhen grows older, his body matures, and his strength, internal strength, and temperament are all undergoing transformation. Naturally, the gap between him and Feng Qingyang, who is in his seventies, is getting smaller, and he is even better.

Xin Zhen’s second thing was to develop the Fuwei Escort Agency. Although he seldom went down the mountain to provide guidance, he never slacked off in the development of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

On the one hand, he continuously filled the Fuwei Escort Agency with martial arts masters through Ren Yingying. On the other hand, he constantly asked his disciples who had achieved some success in martial arts to go down the mountain and participate in the operation of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Chen Zichi, Jiang Zicheng, Yan Xianglin and Xu Jianping were the pioneers. As early as a hundred years ago, they were sent by Xin Zhen to assist Lin Zhennan.

Of course, in the past, they were both assisting and learning things.

In the mountains, one practices martial arts and various skills, which is generally a worldly state. But when one arrives at the Fuwei Escort Agency, one enters the world.

In the Fuwei Escort Agency, they need to fight, handle various interpersonal relationships, and come into contact with all kinds of people in the world. This is a different kind of knowledge.

Xin Zhen firmly believed in a saying: Understanding the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing.

To be a disciple of his Sword Sect, he must not only have strong martial arts skills, but more importantly, he must have a deep understanding of justice, understand the ways of the world, know human nature, and be able to stand on his own.

What's more important is that the Fuwei Escort Agency must be firmly controlled by the Jian Sect. Only when there are Jian Sect disciples in the Fuwei Escort Agency will the Fuwei Escort Agency not be out of control.

As the Sword Sect's representative in the secular world, the Fuwei Escort Agency is not only the Sword Sect's most important source of income, but also the representative of the Sword Sect's influence in the secular world. It must be tightly controlled.

After Chen Zichi and the other four, Xin Zhen gradually sent the disciples of the Sword Sect down the mountain to train in the Fuwei Escort Agency. At this time, the benefits of selecting disciples after the escorts of the Fuwei Escort Agency became apparent.

The escorts of the Fuwei Escort Agency naturally train these young men of their own with all their strength and have no intention of resisting them. In this way, they are naturally united.

After truly achieving control over the Fuwei Escort Agency, the strength of the Fuwei Escort Agency became stronger and stronger. After the forces of the Sun Moon Divine Cult in various places retreated back to the Black Wood Cliff, the Fuwei Escort Agency expanded rapidly and seized most of the power gaps.

During this process, the Fuwei Escort Agency also had some conflicts with local gangs. With the military support of the Sword Sect disciples, the Fuwei Escort Agency developed steadily.

After laying a solid foundation, Xin Zhen then established industries such as soap and cement. With the protection of the Fuwei Escort Agency in the local area, he was not worried about being coveted by others.

Three years later, the Fuwei Escort Agency was able to hand over a profit of up to 200,000 taels to the Jian Sect every year. By the fifth year, this figure had swelled to 500,000 taels. With this economic income, the Jian Sect completely achieved financial freedom.

After the financial resources became stable, the Sword Sect began to recruit more talented disciples every year. By the fifth year, the number of disciples in the Huashan Sword Sect had reached a thousand.

In the fifth year, the number of Sword Sect's true disciples reached 200. Among these 200 disciples, more than 140 achieved the level of first-class masters.

By this year, the saying that the swordsmanship of the world came from Huashan had taken shape. Xuanwu Swordsmanship, Xiaotianxia Swordsmanship, Chunfeng Swordsmanship, Yinfeng Swordsmanship, Canglong Swordsmanship, etc., all made their way through the martial arts world. Among the third generation of Huashan Sword Sect disciples, there were 70 or 80 people who were well-known in the martial arts world. The most famous were the Huashan Seven Swordsmen, who were Xin Zhen's seven disciples: Qu Feiyan, Chen Zichi, Jiang Zicheng, Xu Jianping, Yan Xianglin, Yuan Sumei, and Shi Mengyuan.

These seven have their own strengths, with martial arts being secondary. After all, the sword sect disciples have superb martial arts, and it is difficult to tell who is better or worse, but their specialties are what distinguish them.

Qu Feiyan, the eldest disciple of the Sword Sect, has been assisting Ren Yingying in managing various affairs within the Sword Sect. As Qu Feiyan slowly grew up, Ren Yingying gradually let go. In the fifth year, Qu Feiyan had become the de facto chief steward of the Sword Sect.

Chen Zichi is very steady. Over the years, as Lin Zhennan has grown older, he has gradually handed over various affairs of the Fuwei Escort Agency to him, and Chen Zichi is the person who has taken over the most.

Originally, Xin Zhen intended to let Lin Pingzhi take over, but Lin Pingzhi was not very willing to do so and instead strongly recommended Chen Zichi.

There are rumors in the martial arts world that Xin Zhen intends to let Chen Zichi take charge of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and in the future let Chen Zichi take over the position of the head of the Sword Sect.

Although each of the Seven Sons had their own specialties and were not distinguished by their martial arts, Jiang Zicheng was an exception. Jiang Zicheng was indeed famous for his martial arts.

Jiang Zicheng is a cold person, not very enthusiastic about other things, especially martial arts, and has the nickname of Sword Sect Martial Arts Fanatic. However, his nickname in the martial arts world is Judge, because when he goes down the mountain to gain experience, he never shows mercy to the enemies. The key point is that his swordsmanship is superb.

The Fuwei Escort Agency had a dispute with the Songshan Sword Sect in Henan over territory. Jiang Zicheng faced off against Ding Mian, the Grand Protector of Songshan, and was not at a disadvantage. This battle made Jiang Zicheng famous. Some people remembered that Xin Tanhua became famous by stepping on the Songshan Grand Protector when he first entered the martial arts world.

As a veteran first-class master in the martial arts world, Ding Mian was able to fight Jiang Zicheng head-on without losing, and therefore was considered to be the best martial artist among the third generation of disciples of the Sword Sect!

Xu Jianping is famous for his medical skills, and people in the martial arts world call him the master of both swordsmanship and medicine.

Xu Jianping was very fond of medicine. After returning from his assignment at the Fuwei Escort Agency, he plunged into the vast ocean of medicine. He first learned the skills of several famous doctors in Huayin, then bid farewell to Xin Zhen and went to the capital to visit famous doctors. He studied medicine for five or six years and also practiced medicine for five or six years.

While practicing medicine, he also helped people in need when he saw injustice. While making countless good friends, he also killed many corrupt officials and bandits.

However, the most legendary one is Yan Xianglin. Yan Xianglin deserves the name Xianglin. He has excellent luck. Not long after entering the world, he saved a high-ranking official.

The high-ranking official was the governor of Jianghuai. He admired Yan Xianglin's talent very much. Yan Xianglin was the most educated one in the school. The people in the Sword Sect believed that Yan Xianglin was the one who best resembled Xin Zhen. He was well-versed in poetry and songs, and was known as the Little Tanhua Yan Xianglin.

This high-ranking official not only betrothed his daughter to Yan Xianglin, but also supported Yan Xianglin in taking the imperial examination. After Yan Xianglin reported to Xin Zhen, he participated in the imperial examination and actually passed the examination and became a Jinshi.

Yan Xianglin had been an official for several years, but he found it quite restrictive. Thinking of the happiness he had when he was learning martial arts at Mount Hua, he simply resigned and returned to Mount Hua with his wife and children. He taught martial arts to his fellow students every day, and sometimes went down the mountain to do good deeds. This kind of life was more comfortable.
