Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely.

Chapter 43 Walking, sitting, and lying down are all forms of cultivation

With his mind racing, Huang Yu suppressed his excitement. The abilities of his [Spiritual Perception] talent still needed further exploration in the future.

At this moment, after changing into a white Taoist robe, he turned around and went back into the courtyard.

Li Muxuan and the other two were immediately impressed. They felt that the clothes were perfect for Huang Yu, and his whole demeanor had changed, as if he were a true member of the Sanyi Sect.

Li Muxuan secretly made up his mind: "I must wear this robe and become the disciple of the Great Ying Immortal!"

Shuiyun nodded slightly: "That's good. Then I'll be leaving now. You four stay in the lower courtyard."

After Shuiyun left, Huang Yu took the initiative to ask about the details of the Sanyi Sect assessment.

"Brothers, I'm new here and don't know anything about the place yet. Please tell me what the rules are."

"If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know."

Lu Jin said enthusiastically, "Ah, there aren't any special rules. Here, we just do chores like cleaning and washing every day."

"Then we need to prepare firewood and clean water for daily use on the mountain."

At this point, Lu Jin turned to look at the dozen or so large water vats neatly arranged beside him, and his lips twitched: "Actually, most of the hard work in the yard is done by Brother Liu."

Liu Deshui wiped the sweat from his brow, patted his chest, and said, "Brother Da Niu, you're still a bit weak. Don't do too much these next few days. Take care of yourself and get better."

Looking at the righteousness of these children, Huang Yu couldn't help but feel young and pure again.

Yes, having too many thoughts makes life tiring. It's better to have a childlike heart and live a carefree life.

"The so-called cultivation of the Tao is actually the cultivation of one's own Great Tao."

"On the one hand, we must understand our true nature and recognize our most authentic and original selves."

"On the other hand, we must temper our mind and body, making ourselves pure, firm and clean, so that we can ultimately achieve true freedom and peace of mind."

"Ah! I've got it again!"

This talent for "spiritual intuition" is truly terrifying; even the smallest things can give one insight into one's own nature...

However, this is indeed related to the "honesty" aspect of the Sanyi Men's assessment criteria.

Huang Yu cupped his hands in thanks to the three men: "Thank you all for your care, brothers. I will do my best!"

"Besides, I've survived all the hardships along the way, and my life in the Lower Courtyard right now is like paradise to me!"

“A little bit of manual labor is nothing to me.”

After saying that, Huang Yu took the initiative to do the work, washing clothes, chopping wood, fetching water... In this moment, Huang Yu actually had time to thoroughly reflect on himself.

In the past, I was too busy and had too much to learn, so I was always being pushed along. Now, although I have to do odd jobs, somehow I feel much more relaxed.

Huang Yu relaxed his expression and began to immerse himself in this journey of cultivation.

Walking, sitting, and lying down are all forms of spiritual practice...

……

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

In a grand hall of the Trinity Gate, a meeting was held to discuss the fate of the four individuals.

Zuo Ruotong sat cross-legged on a futon, with the core members of the Sanyi Sect on either side of her.

"It's been half a month..."

Zuo Ruotong turned to look at an old man with a full white beard and slowly asked, "Si Chong, what do you think of these four children?"

Si Chong is Zuo Ruotong's junior brother, and his status and strength in the Sanyi Sect are second only to Zuo Ruotong.

Si Chong laughed and said, "Senior brother, the four who stayed in the villa this time are quite interesting."

"Let's start with Liu Deshui. He's strong and muscular, and honest and straightforward. He's all about strength, and he's both ruthless and fierce!"

“If he fell into my hands, I really wouldn’t know how to discipline him, but you’re asking me to release him, and I’m a little reluctant to do so.”

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly: "Si Chong, I understand."

"I can't bear to part with him because he's a promising talent, but I don't know how to proceed because he's not a promising talent for our Sanyi Sect. Forcing him to stay might ruin his life."

At this point, Zuo Ruotong turned to Shuiyun on the other side: "Shuiyun, if you make a trip to Yanwu Hall and they take a liking to Liu Deshui, you'll have to discuss it with them..."

Shuiyun nodded and said "Oh".

Zuo Ruotong continued, "Be natural, and don't let Liu Deshui know that there's a connection to the Sanyi Sect involved."

Shuiyun asked in confusion, "Master, what's going on here? In the past, when we encountered someone like Liu Deshui, you always personally delivered him to him."

Zuo Ruotong snorted coldly: "Are you too lazy to make the trip?"

Shuiyun quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare, this disciple wouldn't dare!"

Zuo Ruotong then explained, "I've thought about it. My previous actions were somewhat inappropriate. I believed that was to show respect..."

"People gave me, Zuo Ruotong, face, and none of their children said anything. But since then, many of their children still regard me as their teacher. Is that considered respect for their school of thought?"

"Do you understand, Shuiyun?"

Shuiyun was stunned. After a long while, she nodded solemnly and smiled, "Leave it to me."

Zuo Ruotong continued, "Shuiyun, what do you think of the Lu family's children?"

"Hey, who gave me the right to speak here?!"

"It's alright, this is a good opportunity to test your eyesight."

"The Lu family's child has good physique, but unlike Liu Deshui, he's not a natural-born martial arts expert. What's rare is that he knows his limits; he doesn't cheat, but he also knows how to cherish himself. He's calm and collected when he does things, which is rare at his age. In short, he's steady!"

Zuo Ruotong affirmed, "Indeed, there's nothing we can do about it... Being born into a family of alchemists, even if they aren't taught anything, just the family tradition gives them a much higher starting point in this field than the average person. The other three can't compare to that."

"By the way, speaking of Li Muxuan and Li Daniu, what do you think..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shuiyun said angrily, "Hmph, speaking of this Li Muxuan... This kid sneaked up the mountain for three days in a row to calculate the approximate daily expenses on the mountain, and since then he has been carrying water and chopping wood according to that amount, no more and no less."

"What's infuriating is that no matter how close they are in other matters, as soon as Liu Deshui and Lu Jin ask about where he went for those three days, this kid shuts up."

Zuo Ruotong shook her head and said, "Otherwise, are we supposed to let Li Muxuan tell them the key? If they learn from Li Muxuan, will they pass this test or not?"

"If Li Muxuan's actions do not suit my wishes, wouldn't it harm the two of them by having them learn from him?"

"His silence is even more commendable than his unauthorized trip up the mountain."

"If they want to know what Li Muxuan did, they have three days. The two of them have a chance to follow him. Why not?"

Zuo Ruotong's eyes curled slightly upward: "I wouldn't dare! Sending them to the lower courtyard only required them to do labor, and they had no other requests. The majestic mountain gate in my imagination would make them dare not cross the line!"

"They drew a circle around themselves and trapped themselves in their own cocoon... They imprisoned themselves in that small lower courtyard."

Hearing these words, Shuiyun pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said, "So, does that mean that Li Daniu who came later is actually somewhat similar to Li Muxuan?"

Zuo Ruotong said with great interest, "Tell me in detail."

Shuiyun explained, "If Li Muxuan doesn't take the sect seriously, then Li Daniu doesn't take this assessment seriously either."

“I have observed him closely. In the week since he entered the House of Commons, apart from being a little lost at the beginning, he has become more and more at ease, and even somewhat immersed in it.”

"It's as if this isn't an assessment, but just a comfortable daily routine, a part of life."

Chapter 44 Finding the Way

Upon hearing Shuiyun's words, Zuo Ruotong narrowed her eyes: "What do you think is the reason?"

Shuiyun said after careful consideration, "This child suffered a terrible calamity and wandered all the way here, enduring countless hardships."

"Compared to the suffering he has endured, is our test really nothing to him?"

Zuo Ruotong nodded and said, "Since ancient times, when people suffer great hardships, there are generally two situations: one is that they have a mental breakdown and only want to escape; the other is that they face the dripping blood and become stronger so that they can face the problem head-on."

"He can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate, and do what ordinary people cannot do. Li Daniu's character is no longer that of a child."

At this point, Zuo Ruotong looked at Shuiyun and said, "Say it again, what did Li Daniu say to you when he joined the sect, and why did he want to join the Sanyi Sect?"

Shuiyun said, "He said he wanted revenge. Our Trinity's Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique can regenerate severed limbs and is not afraid of guns and cannons. He wants to learn this technique."

Si Chong immediately bristled and glared, "The Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is a method to reach the heavens, a path of cultivation. How can it be cultivated merely as a means of revenge?!"

"Senior brother, this Li Daniu's desire to seek the Dao is not strong enough; he cannot be accepted into the Sanyi Sect!"

Zuo Ruotong frowned and said, "What, does treating the Reverse Life Triple Technique as a heaven-reaching method for cultivation mean that your desire for the Dao is sufficient?"

"What is the Dao? Understanding one's true nature is the Dao, transcending life and death is the Dao, exploring the principles of heaven and earth is the Dao, and isn't killing enemies and eliminating evil also a kind of Dao?"

"You all take the Triple Rebirth Technique too seriously, treating it as an inviolable rule that cannot be wronged or corrected... With such a mindset, how can you possibly forge your own path?!"

"In my opinion, Li Daniu's actions are actually a manifestation of sincerity. He understands what he wants and bravely pursues it without being constrained by external things."

After a moment of silence, seeing that no one spoke, Zuo Ruotong continued, "Li Muxuan and Li Daniu, one is not bound by authority, and the other is not suppressed by the name of rebellion. These two people may be a pleasant surprise."

"By not drawing lines in the sand or binding themselves with their own cocoons, they may be able to find a new path to survival against all odds."

"For someone like Ni Sheng, the ability to find his way is the greatest talent!"

Si Chong asked, "So, Senior Brother, you're planning to take both Li Muxuan and Li Daniu under your wing?"

Zuo Ruotong didn't reply; instead, she fell into deep thought.

"Senior brother?" Si Chong called out again.

Zuo Ruotong stroked her chin: "If we decide now, I can keep the Lu family's child, but as for Li Muxuan and Li Daniu..."

"Li Daniu needs more information; we should wait until Chengzhen returns from his investigation before making any decisions."

“I have met Li Muxuan a few times. Gentlemen, based on my observations over the past few days, please point out his flaws.”

After another discussion, the group decided on the fate of the four members of the Lower House.

……

In the lower courtyard, Huang Yu was working on his day's tasks with Liu Deshui, and he was in charge of the laundry.

Compared to fetching water and chopping wood, this washing work wasn't too tiring. It was because Liu Deshui and the other two were taking care of him and arranged a relatively easy task for him.

But after a whole day of work, Huang Yu still felt sore back and aching waist.

If he didn't restrain himself, this little bit of work would naturally be nothing. The problem is that he was constantly looking for the wrong way, and naturally his body and mind would suffer more.

However, Huang Yu actually seemed to enjoy it.
