The Holy Grail of Blood?

He had already refined Beck into blood, leaving only a soul trapped inside the purple-gold gourd, and he hadn't found any cup.

Huang Yu looked at the Wei family head and asked, "Are you sure that the Blood Grail is carried by Beck?"

"Yes, he seems to have a special way of storing things. Every time I see him, he takes out the cup out of thin air."

"Interesting, there's absolutely no trace of it."

Huang Yu carefully put the purple-gold gourd away again: "Well then, it's getting late. Arrange two rooms for me and Master Zuo. I'll take a good look at it tomorrow and find that cup."

The head of the Wei family bowed and said, "Understood, I will have someone make the arrangements immediately."

As for the bronze sculpture, Huang Yu held it in his hand and tossed it around, then said to Zuo Ruotong, "Master, I feel that this thing is not simple. I'll take it and study it first. Maybe that priest is not dead yet."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Zuo Ruotong's eyes. He knew that Huang Yu would definitely be interested in these strange and dangerous things.

However, he was also quite curious, as this land of China does indeed hide many secrets, waiting for people to explore them.

"Yes, be careful when conducting research, especially in protecting your primordial spirit and sea of ​​consciousness from being invaded."

"Of course, there's no need to be too nervous. Our family's Reverse Life Triple Technique is a mysterious method to enhance your life state. In the Reverse Life state, it's not so easy for the opponent to invade you."

At this point, Zuo Ruotong shook his head and chuckled. What was he thinking? Based on his disciple's life, cultivation level, and numerous methods, he felt that the one who should be worried was the priest hidden in the bronze sculpture.

Don't let it drive you crazy.

“No problem. I will specially craft a magical artifact to protect the primordial spirit’s sea of ​​consciousness, minimizing the risks.”

Huang Yu agreed, put the bronze sculpture away, and then looked around at the various funerary objects in the secret room.

Chapter 100 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.

There are chime bells from the Warring States period, palace lanterns from the Western Han Dynasty, Tang tri-color pottery from the Tang Dynasty, calligraphy and paintings from the Northern Song Dynasty, and Ru ware... everything you could want.

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 and had no label attached; it was simply sitting in a corner.

The brocade box itself is nothing special, but the sheer amount of precious energy it exudes indicates that what's inside is 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 recalling for a while, the head of the Wei family said, "Oh, I remember now, it contained a few candles."

"Candles? How could your great-grandfather have collected candles and kept 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 don't dare to 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 peculiar smell entered Huang Yu's nasal cavity, causing him to pause slightly.

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

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

Zuo Ruotong lowered her gaze and her expression darkened: "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 refine 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 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 on Zuo Ruotong later to see what their purpose was and what secrets they concealed.

After searching the entire secret chamber and finding nothing of interest, Huang Yu instructed Patriarch Wei:

"Preserve these cultural relics as they are, and 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 cleared away 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: "You're your disciple at Xinghuo Academy?"

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

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

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

"I'm still lacking in this area..."

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 students want to learn, and whatever they are suited to learn."

"Of course, I haven't missed any of the core traditions of the major sects. For example, I haven't passed on the Three Realms' Reverse Life Triple Technique or the Vine Mountain's Abstaining from Grains Qi. At most, I've only talked about some concepts, and they can figure it 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 have also learned some divine artifact 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 Technique would be leaked, he really didn't care much anymore, after all, Huang Yu had already pushed the Reverse Life Triple Technique to the fourth level...

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. They just need to come to the Sanyi Sect to pay respects to the ancestral master."

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."

“Apart from Si Chong, all the members of the Sanyi Sect are my personal disciples because I need to watch them safely navigate the path of reversal of life…”

“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 that five breaths were slowly approaching.

Three of them were well concealed, one was slightly less skilled at concealment, and the other exuded a unique sinister aura.

"They're here."

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