Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely

Chapter 101 Human Soul Candles, the Growth of the Disciples

"Tsk, your great-grandfather has a good eye; he collected only genuine items."

Huang Yu's eyes gleamed with golden light as he activated the Thief's talent, Golden Eyes.

He was once a notorious thief who roamed the north and south, infiltrating various wealthy and powerful families. He had seen it all and earned the nickname "Shadowless Thief."

Under the observation of the Golden Eyes, the entire room was filled with precious treasures, clearly all of which were valuable and genuine cultural relics.

Below each funerary object, there are also simple labels indicating where it was unearthed, the dynasty it belongs to, and the name of the object.

It has everything from Warring States period chime bells, Western Han Dynasty palace lanterns, Tang Dynasty tri-colored pottery, Northern Song Dynasty calligraphy and paintings, and Ru ware.

Damn, the great-grandfather of the Wei family has quite a discerning eye; he collects only old items and doesn't want anything that isn't very old.

Zuo Ruotong looked around. To be honest, the Sanyi Sect has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there are quite a few old objects inside, many of which have been passed down since the Ming Dynasty.

It's possible that the bowls, chopsticks, tables, and chairs used inside the door are antiques from the Ming Dynasty.

However, none of these items are for sale; they are merely a testament to Sany's long-standing heritage.

Suddenly, when Huang Yu turned to the corner, he discovered something strange.

A brocade box, casually placed, emitted a purplish-black aura of preciousness. It had no label; it was simply left there.

in the corner.

The brocade box itself wasn't anything special, but the sheer amount of precious energy it exuded indicated that what was inside was definitely a treasure.

However, the treasure's color is purplish-black, indicating that the contents are extremely dangerous and possess some kind of mystical quality.

He picked up the brocade box and asked the Wei family head, "What's inside?"

After a moment of recollection, the head of the Wei family said, "Oh, I remember now, it contained a few candles."

"Candles? How could your great-grandfather have kept candles, and even stored them in this secret room?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Huang Yu's eyes. This secret room was full of priceless antiques and cultural relics, so why were there a few candles?

These candles are indeed extraordinary and have something special about them.

The head of the Wei family nodded: "Yes, it is a candle, but it is a candle from the Western Han Dynasty. My great-grandfather found it in a royal tomb."

"Impossible! A candle couldn't possibly last that long!"

Huang Yu frowned. The main components of ancient candles were beeswax or animal fat, which are organic materials. They required extremely harsh conditions to preserve them for a long time.

Not to mention the environment of an underground tomb, where microorganisms and temperature fluctuations can cause candles to deform or decompose.

Unless, of course, these candles are special creations such as artifact crafting.

Thinking of this, Huang Yu opened the brocade box, inside which were five well-preserved black candles, with distorted human figures engraved on their bodies.

The head of the Wei family explained, "It is precisely because candles are difficult to preserve that these candles unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty are so precious."

"Later, my great-grandfather invited a few fellow practitioners to come and see, but none of them knew what was going on, so he didn't pay much attention to it and just put the candle away."

"Of course, we wouldn't dare light them. These candles are all black, yet they've lasted so long. Nobody knows what's in them."

"If it turns out to be some toxic material, then we'll be in big trouble."

Huang Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a candle and activated [Extraordinary Sense of Smell].

In an instant, a unique aroma of qi entered Huang Yu's nasal cavity, causing him to be slightly startled.

"This taste... it's so much like... the taste of the soul?"

He handed the candle to Zuo Ruotong: "Master, have you discovered it?"

Zuo Ruotong lowered her gaze, her expression darkening: "Hmm, I've found it. There's the aura of a human soul inside."

"What exactly are these people trying to do? Using human souls to make candles—they're no different from evil!"

Huang Yu's eyes flashed with the Qimen formation, and he used [Tianyan] to calculate again.

A force of resistance, as immense as the one encountered in the previous deduction of the bronze sculpture, appeared, making Huang Yu's deduction extremely difficult.

"Damn it, what special entity is involved this time? Why can't I calculate it again!"

Huang Yu cursed under his breath and increased his output of true qi again, using up all his strength to barely manage to ignite something.

"Does this mean that by lighting these candles, we can discover the truth behind them?"

Huang Yu pondered for a moment, then put these human soul candles into his storage bag, planning to test them with Zuo Ruotong later to see what they were used for and what secrets they held.

After searching the entire secret chamber and finding nothing of interest, Huang Yu instructed the Wei family head, "Preserve these artifacts exactly as they were. I will send someone to take them over later."

"clear."

"By the way, do you still have the original Blood Demon Curse?"

The head of the Wei family shook his head: "It's gone. After I memorized the cultivation technique, I burned the original."

"If you want, I can copy down the technique."

Huang Yu nodded slightly, and the three of them walked out of the secret room and returned to the back room.

At this moment, the food on the table has been cleaned up and replaced with tea, pastries, and other snacks.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: Hong Qi had used a magical artifact to contact Huang Yu.

Several disciples and Liu had already arrived near the Wei family's residence.

I had contacted them before and asked them to come to the Wei family to discuss matters. I didn't expect them to come so quickly.

Huang Yu smiled slightly and said to Zuo Ruotong, "My people have arrived. I'll introduce them to you later."

Zuo Ruotong picked up her teacup and blew on it, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes: "So you're your disciple at Starfire Academy?"

"Haha, then I'll have to take a good look."

"Unfortunately, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gift."

Huang Yu chuckled and shook his head: "It's good that you came. In the future, if you have time, please give them more guidance on their spiritual cultivation."

"I'm still lacking in this aspect—"

Huang Yu is not lacking in skills and techniques; in fact, he could say that there are few people in the world who can compare to him.

However, in terms of cultivating one's physical and mental well-being, because his strength improved too quickly, he lacked a real sense of it.

Simply put, he's not suited to instructing others in this area; he lacks empathy.

Zuo Ruotong asked, "What did you teach them?"

"They teach whatever the student wants to learn, and whatever the student is suited to learn."

"Of course, I haven't missed any of the core traditions of the major sects. For example, the Three Ones' Reverse Life Triple Regeneration and the Tengshan's Abstaining from Grains Qi, I haven't passed them on. At most, I've talked about some of the concepts, and they'll figure them out on their own."

"Currently, the methods these people have learned mainly include the Sage's Thief Technique, Ghost Shadow Movement, Earth Immortal Movement, and the Gunfighting Technique that I created."

"Besides some common magical techniques, some people also learned some divine weapon crafting and esoteric arts based on their own circumstances —"

Huang Yu looked on with a look of reminiscence. It had been almost half a year since he had given any guidance to his disciples. He wondered how their cultivation was progressing.

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly. He knew Huang Yu's situation; Huang Yu was well-versed in many subjects and also knew how to conduct himself appropriately.

As for whether the secret techniques of the Reverse Life Triple Stage would be leaked, he really didn't care much, after all, Huang Yu had already pushed the Reverse Life Triple Stage to the fourth stage.

The entire Reverse Life Triple has been dismantled and reshaped, infused with new vitality. It can be said that Huang Yu is the contemporary patriarch of the new version of Reverse Life, a creator like the Triple Ancestor.

Zuo Ruotong said softly, "I trust your judgment. If there is a suitable candidate, I might as well pass on the Reverse Life technique to him. He only needs to come to the Sanyi Sect to pay respects to the patriarch."

Huang Yu was a little surprised, not expecting Zuo Ruotong to say that.

Zuo Ruotong sighed, "I'm not some old-fashioned person, and I don't hold onto the idea of ​​being overly attached to my own possessions."

"I was so strict in accepting disciples before, firstly because I didn't want to mislead people, and secondly because the path of reversing life is too dangerous. A slight mistake could ruin one's life. I dared not spread the path of reversing life carelessly."

"Except for Si Chong, all the members of the San Yi Sect are my personal disciples because I need to watch them safely navigate the path of rebirth—"

"However, you are different. You have already established your own lineage, and you are qualified to take on disciples."

"Of course, the law should not be passed on lightly; this will never change."

Huang Yu said solemnly, "Alright, if I find someone suitable for cultivating the Reverse Rebirth technique, I will send them to the Sanyi Sect."

Suddenly, Huang Yu and Zuo Ruotong sensed five streams of Qi slowly approaching.

"They're here."

Huang Yu and Zuo Ruotong sat quietly, waiting for the five people to arrive.

Soon, the five people arrived near the back room, but did not show themselves. It was obvious that some disciples wanted to play around and see if Huang Yu could discover them.

Huang Yu's lips curled up slightly. Oh, how mischievous.

"Alright, all of you, come out now. Don't try to show off your skills in front of us."

The five people then slowly appeared and walked in through the main entrance.

The fat man at the head of the group cupped his hands and laughed, "Haha, please forgive my rudeness, Master."

The other three bowed and said, "Greetings, Master!"

Liu stood alone to one side, saying, "Greetings, my lord!"

Huang Yu nodded slightly and looked at his four disciples: Hong Qi, Yan Shuangying, A Xing, and Jimmy. They had indeed grown and changed a lot.

He pointed at Zuo Ruotong: "Alright, everyone come and greet your master."

The four exchanged glances, a hint of curiosity flashing in their eyes, but they obediently cupped their hands in greeting: "Greetings, Master."

Zuo Ruotong waved her hand, signaling the others to stand up.

"Get up, all of you. Don't worry, you won't be allowed to call me 'Grandmaster' for nothing. If your master is ever away and you are ever bullied, come to the Sanyi Sect and find me, Zuo Ruotong."

"I'll stand up for you!"

Zuo Ruotong knew perfectly well that these people couldn't actually be considered Sanyi's disciples. Huang Yu had them call him "Grandmaster" because he wanted Zuo Ruotong to take care of them.

Of course, he was happy to accept it.

He had observed them; all four were promising talents with exceptional potential, and they acted with propriety and had clear eyes, indicating they were not wicked individuals.

Moreover, in terms of seniority, the four of them could indeed be considered Zuo Ruotong's grand-disciples.

Upon hearing the name Zuo Ruotong, the four realized who their nominal master was: the Great Ying Immortal, one of the top experts in the world of supernatural beings.

"Alright, Master, let me introduce it to you."

Huang Yu smiled and pointed to the five people, introducing them one by one.

"This fat man, with a greasy face, is my eldest disciple, Hong Qi. He is a bold and righteous man, and has a great talent in boxing and palm techniques."

Hong Qi cupped his hands in greeting, then carefully wiped his mouth. Damn it, he was in such a hurry to leave that he forgot to wipe his mouth after eating the roast duck.

Zuo Ruotong nodded: "Yes, his true qi is abundant, his bones are heavy and his tendons are long, he is a good prospect for martial arts training."

Huang Yu pointed to another tall, handsome man wearing a leather jacket with two guns at his waist: "This guy who's dressed up and acting cool is my second disciple, Yan Shuangying. He's quick-witted, agile, and skilled with guns."

Yan Shuangying forced a smile onto his expressionless face.

Zuo Ruotong glanced at him: "His eyes are bright, yet he is calm and reserved. He is reliable."

Huang Yu then looked at a man in a suit and tie: "This man in formal attire is the third disciple, Jimmy. His talent in Qi cultivation is average, but he is good at interpersonal communication and spotting business opportunities. He is a business elite."

"Many of the affairs under my management now, including business management and group expansion, are handled by Jimmy, who has been a great help to me."

Jimmy raised his hand and smiled shyly.

Then, Huang Yu looked at the last one, who was dressed casually and had a smile on his face: "That slacker is the fourth disciple."

Ah Xing, your talent for Qi cultivation is the highest among my disciples; you learn everything very quickly.

Ah Xing greeted him with a smile, "Master, let's have a late-night snack together later."

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly, looked him over, and indeed he was a graceful figure with a spiritual energy emanating from the top of his head, making him an excellent prospect.

He was even a little tempted; why not just have Huang Yu pass on the Reverse Life Triple Technique to this person?
