Chapter 461 Three years and three years

The third year since the Huashan Sect was founded.

After resolving the hatred of the dragon clan and repelling the Yu clan, the Huashan Sect had an excellent opportunity for development.

Jiangnan is becoming more and more chaotic. Practitioners have occupied land in Jiangnan and have fought one battle after another with local aristocratic families. These inheritances are also fighting each other. They want to occupy Jiangnan before the situation in the north is settled. But that is not so easy. No one is an easy target. How can they completely suppress the other forces?
The Huashan Sect developed in a low-key manner. Occasionally, someone would come to visit, and Xin Zhen, Xiao Feng and others would quietly repel the enemy, unwilling to make enemies with anyone.

However, even so, the Huashan Sect could not avoid being affected by the situation, and the main impact came from the revenue at the foot of the mountain.

Over the past three years, the situation on the Huashan Mountain has been very encouraging.

While Xin Zhen was practicing in seclusion, he also transformed all the skills he had into the practice methods of this world, forming a complete practice system.

The general practice plan of most disciples is like this, with the general outline of the Nine Yin Scriptures of the authentic Xuanmen as the foundation, and the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter as a catalyst to accelerate their practice. The sword method is based on the Five Mountains Sword Method plus the Quanzhen Sword Method, the palm method is the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, the Tianshan Zhemei Hand, the Nine Yin Scriptures Great Demon Subduing Palm, etc., and the body method is mainly based on the Yingfeng Liubu.

As for some disciples with extraordinary talents, Xin Zhen taught them the Pure Yang Wuji Gong plus the Yi Jin Duan Gu Chapter according to their talents. After laying the foundation of swordsmanship with the Five Mountains Swordsmanship and the Quanzhen Swordsmanship, he taught them the Dugu Nine Swords. For palm techniques, he also asked Xiao Feng to teach them the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. As for body techniques, he added the Snake Walk and Cat Flip.

The Snake-like Walk and Cat-like Twist is a pure method of transforming a human into a demon, which can greatly increase the strength of the body. The benefits after practicing it are self-evident.

In three years, the first batch of 130 to 140 disciples of Huashan Sect had laid a solid foundation, and Huashan Sect was thriving.

But the situation at the foot of the mountain still affects the mountain.

On this day, Xin Zhen was teaching his disciples when Zhou Zhiruo came with a worried look on her face.

Seeing this, Xin Zhen knew that Zhou Zhiruo must have something important to discuss with him, so he took Zhou Zhiruo to the back hall.

Zhou Zhiruo brought a lot of account books to Xin Zhen. After Xin Zhen roughly read through them, he nodded and said, "Has the situation outside become so chaotic?"

Zhou Zhiruo sighed and said, "The escort agency's business is basically gone, the business of restaurants has dropped by 90%, and shipping has basically stopped. Now the people in Gusu City are fleeing because from time to time there are powerful people fighting in Gusu City. Every time there is a fight, countless people are killed and injured. Those who die are innocent people. Who dares to stay?

As a result, it is only natural that Huashan Sect's various revenues have plummeted. Brother Zhen, we must find another way. Now Huashan Sect has thousands of people and the daily expenses are not a small amount. We don't have much money now. If we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to hold on."

Xin Zhen nodded and consoled him, "Don't worry, I'll think of a solution."

Xin Zhen urged the sword ball to go to Gusu City. Sure enough, the once prosperous and beautiful Gusu City was full of broken walls and ruins. It was somewhat similar to the previous capital city. Xin Zhen sighed. Sure enough, when troubled times came, there was no pure land anywhere.

After Xin Zhen finished touring Gusu City, he found that it was indeed not a good place to do business. He wandered around, but in such a chaotic world, where was suitable for doing business?

Xin Zhen returned to Lingshan in a depressed mood. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he found that the foot of Lingshan was quite lively. What was originally a small village was crowded with thousands of people. Xin Zhen curiously walked into the village and found that all the people here were seeking refuge.

Xin Zhen found the village head and asked, "Why did they all come to the foot of Lingshan Mountain?"

The head of the village said with a smile: "We are safe in Lingshan, but now those immortals are fighting everywhere, even Gusu City is no exception. When the immortals fight, it is us ordinary people who die. If ordinary people can't afford to offend them, can't they just hide from them?
Other famous mountains are all crowded with people, but our Lingshan is still so quiet, so people from nearby naturally come here to visit.

It's good here. We have food and vegetables, and most importantly, it's safe. We ordinary people just want to survive. This is a paradise!"

This sentence suddenly enlightened Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen returned to Lingshan and called a meeting with Ren Yingying, Zhou Zhiruo and others.

Xin Zhen asked Zhou Zhiruo to explain the management situation of Huashan Sect first, and then asked others if there was any way to improve it.

Everyone spoke freely, but there were not many solutions and the results were average.

Ren Yingying smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, just tell me. You must have a way. Just tell us and we'll do it."

Everyone laughed. After getting along with each other for several years, they saw how powerful Xin Zhen was.

Xin Zhen not only took charge of the transformation of cultivation techniques, but also taught disciples, managed the business, and whenever anyone had questions they could come to him and there was nothing he couldn't solve.

This will naturally be the case.

Fan Jie said with a smile: "Jian'er, just tell me, I will hit you wherever you point."

In recent years, Fan Jie has been appointed by Xin Zhen as the elder of Huashan Sect's Zhenwu Hall. The so-called Zhenwu Hall is the supervisory body of Huashan Sect, responsible for supervising and enforcing the discipline of Huashan disciples.

Fan Jie was known as a Bole, and was the best at judging people. He was in charge of supervising discipline, which frightened the Huashan Sect disciples and made them dare not overstep the line. He was extremely majestic.

Xin Zhen smiled upon hearing this and said, "There really is a place where Elder Fan can do his best."

Xin Zhen hung a huge map on the wall, which almost took up the entire wall.

Everyone looked up at the map. Xiao Feng asked in surprise, "Is this our Lingshan?" Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is our Lingshan."

Xin Zhen gently cast a spell on the map, and immediately the map changed drastically. A large number of pavilions, streets, and shops suddenly appeared at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, extending from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and a big city gradually took shape around Lingshan Mountain.

The map changed in a video-like manner, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Zhou Zhiruo, who had been devoted to the business, had already reacted and said, "Brother Zhen, do you mean that we can build a city around Lingshan?"

Ren Yingying's eyes lit up and she said, "Great! Jiangnan is now in chaos, with countless casualties. Even the wealthy families are left with nowhere to turn. There is no clean land left in the world!
But our Lingshan Mountain is still peaceful and stable, and people are constantly moving into the villages at the foot of the mountain. If we can open up to accept them, the nearby people and even the wealthy families in the entire Jiangnan East Road will all run here. It may not be impossible to build a city here!"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's right, I plan to open up and accept people to settle down at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and build a Lingshan Town around Lingshan Mountain.

The specific business strategy is that I plan to sell land to rich families, and let them build houses at the foot of the mountain. Building houses will attract many people to participate in the construction. Once the number of people increases, a market town will naturally be formed, and then a trade market will be built. Once the trade market is built, it will attract business travelers, and business travelers will gather more popularity. In this way, the market town will be established.

In order to regulate development, we can make overall plans for house construction, markets, etc., so that various buildings can be more standardized. Look here. "

Xin Zhen performed another spell, and the pavilions and towers on the map began to grow larger. The roads and paths inside were well-connected, and the pavilions and towers were hidden among the trees, looking very elegant. The markets were also well-organized, with no signs of disorder.

Everyone was fascinated by what they saw. Fan Jie praised, "Jin'er's talent is truly amazing. Once this plan is implemented, Huashan Sect will no longer have to worry about financial resources, and the foot of Lingshan Mountain will become a paradise."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Xin Zhen began to arrange the work. He asked Zhou Zhiruo to find many construction craftsmen to measure and design the foot of Lingshan Mountain, draw a large plot of land for the first phase of the project, and locate and divide it, make a land sale map, and then contact the wealthy families in Gusu City through Xin's family.

As soon as this news was released, many luxurious carriages and horses arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. They were all wealthy families in Gusu City who had sent their stewards. Some of them were so anxious that they even came on their own.

Seeing that so many people came, Xin Zhen personally presided over the land sale. In the first phase alone, nearly a thousand residential plots were sold, with an average price of nearly a thousand taels of silver for each plot. From the income from this alone, the Huashan Sect earned nearly one million taels of silver.

Xin Zhen used the one million taels of income to begin transforming the foot of Lingshan Mountain, mainly building roads and drainage projects, and then planned out the second phase of land.

Only a few people bought the land in the first phase, but as the news spread, more people flocked in. This time, tens of thousands of residential plots were sold. The Huashan Sect no longer had to worry about lacking money in the near future.

A large number of wealthy families began to build houses at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, attracting a large number of farmers to work here. Xin Zhen allocated a piece of land at the foot of Lingshan Mountain to build a village, allowing these farmers to settle here.

Later, they designated a piece of land to build a market. The market was close to Taihu Lake and could be transported by both water and land, so the market was established in no time.

The large gathering of people makes this place a naturally prosperous place. The farmers' market attracts a large number of people, making the foot of Lingshan even more prosperous.

Xin Zhen's vision was naturally more than that. He re-demarcated a piece of land and built a market for spiritual practice supplies, specifically for practitioners to buy and sell various spiritual practice resources.

The Huashan Sect is a sect of spiritual practice and has a huge demand for spiritual resources. In the past, they always collected them through the Xin family. Although they were able to collect them, the Xin family was a large mortal family after all, and they didn't have many channels. Not only were the things they received not of high quality, but they also spent a lot of money in vain.

Xin Zhen opened a market for supplies for cultivation directly at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Being close to the water, he could get the moon first. If there were any good things, Huashan Sect could collect them first. Not only did he save money, but he also obtained many excellent supplies for cultivation, which was of great help to the cultivation of Huashan Sect disciples.

Three more years passed like this.

During these three years, no one in Huashan Sect has been able to rest.

Xin Zhen, Ren Yingying, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Feng, Fan Jie, the Four Friends of Meizhuang, and everyone else's daily schedule is full. Apart from the necessary daily practice time, the rest of the time is basically spent on how to build the village.

In fact, apart from them, none of the Huashan disciples were idle. Their main energy was of course spent on spiritual practice, but Xin Zhen did not let them indulge in spiritual practice. Xin Zhen believed that only those who knew how to live could practice, and only by experiencing the worldly world could one truly understand the true meaning of spiritual practice.

Therefore, these disciples must participate in the construction of Huashan Sect every day. The disciples who enter the sect first can take on tasks and lead their junior brothers and sisters in cultivation. Those who have practiced well can serve as basic lecturers. Those who have practiced less well can go to Lingshan Town to maintain law and order. Those who are good at curing diseases can go down the mountain to cure diseases, those who are good at refining equipment can refine equipment and sell it, and those who are good at drawing talismans can draw talismans. In short, everyone has something to do.

And they did these things not just because Xin Zhen required them to, but because they also had actual needs. Xin Zhen did not provide them with resources easily. Xin Zhen only provided the basic resources for these cultivations. If you want to improve, you have to work hard to earn them.

Therefore, they must work hard to do various things in order to improve their own cultivation.

In fact, being a disciple of Huashan Sect is the happiest thing in this era, because they can find various ways to make money at the foot of their own mountain.

There are things like refining weapons, drawing talismans, and working as security guards. There are also many wealthy families at the foot of the mountain who invite disciples from the mountain to be tutors for their children. In this era, who doesn't know the importance of cultivation? The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Although their children may not be able to enter the Huashan Sect, is it okay to ask the disciples of the Huashan Sect to be tutors?
Of course it is possible.

Rich families will naturally look for skills to teach their children, but it is unrealistic for their children to practice on their own. However, they can ask disciples of the Huashan Sect to be their tutors.

Although Huashan Sect disciples cannot leak the sect's skills, they have extremely broad vision and excellent talent. With their help in building the foundation and teaching these skills, wealthy disciples can easily get started, and Huashan Sect disciples get money or resources for practice. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

Under Xin Zhen's teaching method, the cultivation of Huashan Sect's disciples improved by leaps and bounds. The disciples who entered the sect early have been practicing for six years. Those with excellent talents have broken through to the Golden Body Realm, which is the realm that Xin Zhen reached six years ago. The majority of the disciples can at least reach the Heroic Soul Realm, and most of them have already condensed a martial courage.

Their speed was naturally much slower than Xin Zhen's, but Xin Zhen was an exception. In fact, if people outside knew about their speed of cultivation, they would surely be dumbfounded.

But in Xin Zhen's opinion, there was nothing surprising. The martial arts they practiced were originally first-rate or even top-notch, and there was also the almost cheating method of Snake-like Raccoon Flip. For a warrior, the physique constructed by the Snake-like Raccoon Flip was infinitely close to the Golden Body Realm. If they still couldn't practice fast after all, wouldn't it be a big joke?
