Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely

Chapter 103 The Free Alchemy Association, The Philosopher's Stone

"Ahem, those things are all in the past, Mr. Huang, let's get down to business."

The head of the Wei family coughed awkwardly and turned the topic to Huang Yu.

Huang Yu clapped his hands, called all five people to his side, and recounted the events that had occurred in recent days with the Jade Society, the Corpse Taoist, and the Wei family head.

"I think you all already know the basic facts of the matter."

"There are two urgent matters at present. First, we need to send people to take over the valley in Jitian Village as soon as possible, and do a good job of sealing it off. We must allow people to enter but not leave to prevent the spread of various plagues from inside."

"Later, when I have some free time, I will deal with all the potential problems inside."

Hong Qi nodded: "Understood. Junior Brother Li has already led a team over there, and as you instructed, they have brought food, water, and medicine."

"I'll contact him later and tell him to keep a tight watch on the mountain pass, making sure not a single fly gets away!"

The head of the Wei family said confidently, "Don't worry, Jitian Village is my Wei family's territory. The tenants there have all been trained by me and won't cause any trouble."

Huang Yu remained silent. Behind his statement that he wouldn't cause trouble, many people had probably died.

Then, he made a peace sign: "The second thing is to take over the Wei family's assets and property as soon as possible, make room for new talent, and replace all the key positions in the Wei family with our people as soon as possible."

"We must take full control of the Wei family's docks and cargo ships, especially their ocean freight, as it will become one of our main businesses in the future."

Jimmy suggested, "I can have Huateng Group set up a shipping subsidiary to operate in cooperation with the Wei family. On the surface, this would be a powerful alliance between the Liu and Wei families, which would reduce a lot of trouble and make asset transfer much easier."

Huang Yu nodded: "You guys handle the specifics, but try not to make any noise."

He paused, then added, "Don't be afraid of making any noise. Try to resolve it as soon as possible. If you can't resolve it, tell me and I'll think of a solution."

"Did you all understand?"

All five nodded in unison: "Understood!"

"Alright, then you can go and talk to Patriarch Wei."

After saying that, Huang Yu dismissed the others and sent them away to discuss the specific matters.

As the saying goes, "The leader only needs to speak, and the subordinates will run themselves ragged." Huang Yu spent a lot of time and effort training his disciples so that he could delegate these trivial matters to them and save himself some trouble.

Now is the time to use people.

With extensive learning and practice, and with the help of Patriarch Wei as a top-notch inside man, I believe the disciples are now capable of handling this matter.

Seeing that Huang Yu had finished arranging things, Zuo Ruotong sighed and said, "When I heard you say before that you had built your own force, I was still a little skeptical. I thought you were just talking casually. After all, it's hard to imagine that the owner of a force would humbly seek out a master to learn from."

"But today, I believe it."

"It's truly unrestrained, a genuine freedom of mind and body, unburdened by worldly constraints, doing whatever one wants, learning whatever one wants—not caring about the process, only focusing on the result."

Huang Yu picked up his teacup and took a sip: "You overestimate me. I haven't even reached that level of freedom myself."

"I just have my own ideas and goals."

He looked up at the moonlight and suggested, "Master, it's getting late, let's go and rest."

"There's still a lot to do during this time."

Zuo Ruotong agreed: "Okay, feel free to contact me if you need any help."

"Although I haven't done anything particularly remarkable, I have spent decades in the underworld, witnessed many different methods, and possess considerable brute strength."

Huang Yu chuckled: "You're no ordinary person. Don't worry, I'll call you in a few days."

As the sun first appeared, a thin mist hung in the air.

Huang Yu awoke from his meditation, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Refreshing!

Since he started learning meditation more than two years ago, he has combined meditation with sleep, which allows him to maintain a certain level of alertness to the outside world while quickly recovering his own state.

Huang Yu took out the Purple Gold Gourd from his storage bag and carefully examined its interior.

"How could it not be there? How was that so-called Blood Grail hidden away? Was it some kind of innate storage space?"

Inside the purple-gold gourd, Beck's body had been refined, leaving only his soul.

Huang Yu planned to devour Baker's soul today to see what Western alchemy was all about, and what the Jade Society was doing in China.

Where did that so-called Holy Grail of Blood go?

Huang Yu opened the gourd lid, channeled his true qi, and spat out an illusory soul.

Suddenly, a subtle fluctuation emanated from Beck's soul.

Huang Yu's brows furrowed, and he instantly became alert. Could an alchemist's soul, which had no support, still perform any tricks?

Unless, someone wants to save Baker.

Moreover, this fluctuation feels so familiar—it's somewhat like the Eight Gates Movement technique in Qimen Dunjia.

Immediately afterwards, a small spatial vortex appeared out of thin air, attempting to suck Beck's soul into it.

"How dare you! I won't let you take what's in my hands so easily!"

Huang Yu sneered, holding the purple-gold gourd in his hand, and white true qi surged into it wildly.

A powerful suction force appeared, drawing Beck's soul back into the Purple Gold Gourd before it could escape.

Watching the spatial vortex slowly disappear, Huang Yu's expression changed, and he quickly took out a mechanical rat and threw it into the spatial vortex.

pat!

The mechanical mouse was ejected and fell to the ground, then scurried away on its four little legs.

Huang Yu pondered: "It can't pass through physical objects, it only applies to spatial teleportation of illusory things like souls."

"Interesting. This kind of method is definitely not something that an alchemist like Baker could use, let alone now that he's just a soul."

He tossed the purple-gold gourd around, pondering how to deal with Baker's soul.

Judging from this situation, someone wants to take back Beck's soul and doesn't want it to leak out.

The Purple Gold Gourd can isolate the other party's spatial teleportation, so the spatial vortex will only appear when Beck's soul appears in the outside world.

"It's a pity that my [Ghost Eater] technique cannot be used directly inside the Purple Gold Gourd, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble."

Huang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think of a solution.

The refining of the [Ghost Eater] takes time, and during the refining process, Beck's soul will be teleported away by space.

The feasible solutions are either to isolate the other party's spatial teleportation or to neutralize that spatial teleportation power.

"Space? Then let's use the art of divination to counter it!"

"Using time and space as entry points, Qi is used to set up the Qimen Dunjia formation."

"In the Qimen Dunjia divination system, I am the master of time and space!"

A massive Qimen Dunjia formation spread out from Huang Yu as its center. He concentrated his mind and activated the Purple Gold Gourd, once again summoning Baker...

His soul poured out.

hum!

As he expected, the spatial vortex reappeared, but this time, the situation was different.

An opposite spatial vortex appeared, and the two spatial forces began to collide and cancel each other out.

Human Plate - Eight Gates Transfer!

Huang Yu seized the opportunity, black true qi appeared in his hand, and he began to refine Beck's soul.

In an instant, countless memories were extracted.

Born into a vampire clan, and ashamed of being a vampire—

He studied alchemy at Victor Academy, created blood-control alchemy, and was hailed as a prodigy, appearing only once every ten years at the academy.

Yearning to break free from the shackles of bloodline hierarchy, he joined the Emerald Society to study undead creatures like corpse demons, hoping to gain the power to overcome these limitations. Unfortunately, his efforts yielded little result.

And, the most memorable one, was being invited to join an organization called the Free Alchemy Association.

There, he not only obtained the initial formula for the Corpse Spirit Compound, but was also instructed to seek the wisdom of the Corpse Refining Path in the East, perhaps by combining the power of the Zombie to transform his own vampire bloodline and completely make up for his deficiencies.

Finally, at the Free Alchemy Association, he witnessed the ultimate masterpiece of alchemy—the Philosopher's Stone!

So the legendary creations really do exist!

hum!

Just then, a powerful force broke through Huang Yu's Qimen formation, and a phantom vertical pupil condensed in the air, coldly staring at Huang Yu.
