Under One Person: I Can Change Jobs Infinitely

Chapter 45 Climbing mountains cannot lead to heaven.

In the lower courtyard, Huang Yu was chopping firewood alone.

剎!

With one stroke, a piece of wood was split in two.

[Firewood Chopping Experience +1]

Current progress: Woodcutting (Proficiency 5/300)

Huang Yu's wood-chopping skills were already quite advanced; he could accurately find the gaps between various types of wood. Unfortunately, he failed to successfully advance to the [Woodcutter] profession.

As the saying goes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea are the most important daily necessities in ancient times.

Woodcutters were people who made a living by chopping and selling firewood. They would painstakingly chop firewood in the deep mountains and then carry it to the market to sell. It was a major profession in ancient times.

As production methods have improved and lifestyles have become more diverse, the number of woodcutters has gradually decreased.

Now, Huang Yu's wood-chopping skills have reached the required level, but he still lacks the final step of selling firewood before he can switch to this profession.

Of course, being part of the Sanyi Sect, he couldn't possibly actually sell the firewood he chopped.

"Isn't the investigation into me finished yet?"

Huang Yu pondered silently. Three days ago, Li Muxuan was called out alone and never returned. He guessed that he had been sent to Dongshan to hone his skills and learn.

Now he's the only one left in the entire Lower House.

Huang Yu estimated that the results of his assessment should be available in the next few days.

After chopping firewood for another half hour, the door creaked open, and a young man in white clothes and white hair appeared at the door.

Huang Yu looked up and was slightly taken aback. His temperament was so extraordinary and his cultivation level was completely unfathomable. There was no mistake, this should be the legendary Great Ying Immortal Zuo Ruotong.

This was the first time he had met this Great Ying Immortal, and he had to admit, he was truly extraordinary.

He stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Zuo Ruotong: "Li Dani greets Master Zuo."

Zuo Ruotong asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"

Huang Yu shook his head: "I don't recognize you, but I've heard that the Left Sect Master is immortal and has an eternally youthful appearance. In the entire Sanyi Sect, you are probably the only young person with such an extraordinary demeanor."

Zuo Ruotong shook her head and chuckled, "You're quite clever."

Then, he said gently, "You must have gone through a lot of hardships along the way. Would you mind telling me about them?"

Huang Yu said, "Those hardships are nothing to me now. All I want to do now is learn the skills to avenge my family."

"What if I told you that everyone in Black Tiger Stronghold is dead, and you've already avenged yourself?"

At this point, Zuo Ruotong stared intently into Huang Yu's eyes.

Huang Yu then feigned shock and confusion: "What do you mean? Really?"

Zuo Ruotong observed for a moment, then nodded: "I had my disciples check it out. The entire Black Tiger Stronghold has been slaughtered. I have no reason to lie to you about this."

Huang Yu fell silent, then squeezed out a few tears...

This role is not easy to play. Huang Yu decided that if he were to do similar things again in the future, he would definitely find an easier identity.

"Thank you for informing me, Master Zuo!" After a long while, Huang Yu cupped his hands in greeting.

Seeing that Huang Yu had calmed down, Zuo Ruotong asked, "You've taken your revenge. Do you still want to learn the Reverse Life Triple Technique?"

Huang Yu nodded emphatically: "I want to! I wouldn't dare lie. Although I've avenged my great enemy, much more evil and injustice still permeates every corner! I want to have the power to change all of this!"

"As I've come this far, I've discovered that I'm not the only one in this world suffering; there are countless people far worse off than me!"

"People were starving to death everywhere. I've seen people exchange their children for food, but in the city courtyards, even dogs ate better than people. I've even fought with dogs for food..."

"I passed through some small villages, and the villagers gave me food, but after a few days, these small villages were probably gone. Some were killed by bandits, and some were robbed by soldiers."

"Then, the land in that village was seized by the surrounding landlords..."

"When I was begging in the city, some people even tried to arrest me..."

Plague, opium, usury, conscription, foreigners, landlords, famine...

Huang Yu rambled on, recounting everything he had seen during his time as a wanderer.

Zuo Ruotong had been carefully observing Huang Yu's state and noticed the coldness and anger in Huang Yu's eyes.

This emotion is genuine; this kid truly wants to eliminate all of this!

My heart is so firm, and the path is so clear.

After a long silence, Huang Yu solemnly said, "I humbly request that Sect Leader Zuo accept me as a disciple and pass on his skills to me!"

Zuo Ruotong sighed and lamented, "I have been cultivating in the deep mountains for a long time, but I did not know that the world had become so chaotic."

"I am aware of some of these situations and have punished some bad people, but I have never gone to understand them in depth or thought about making a complete change."

"In this respect, I am not as good as you!"

"Sometimes I wonder, where has my spiritual practice gone...?"

"Very well, since you have such lofty ambitions to cleanse the world, I will accept you as my disciple!"

"I just hope you won't forget what you said today!"

Huang Yu performed a formal apprenticeship ceremony and earnestly said, "This disciple will never forget!"

After thinking for a moment, Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but ask, "Da Niu, I don't treat you like a child. I have a question for you. Just tell me the truth."

"In your opinion, what exactly is the Triple Rebirth?"

Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, realizing that Zuo Ruotong was beginning to doubt her own path.

Even he himself was suspected by the other party?

As an outsider who only uses the Reverse Rebirth Triple as a means, I am a good candidate for seeking enlightenment.

Do I need to tell the truth?

After pondering for a long time, Huang Yu said carefully, "I have heard that the Triple Rebirth Technique is an unparalleled skill that can regenerate severed limbs and grant immortality. It is the most likely method to become an immortal in this world."

Zuo Ruotong squinted and said, "Is it just a unique skill? Do you think it can reach the heavens?"

Huang Yu shook his head: "This disciple does not know, nor does he know what Tongtian is."

Zuo Ruotong said, "Don't you want to give your master something real? After traveling so far, you should have your own insights by now."

Huang Yu remained silent for a moment before deciding to speak his mind truthfully: "Yes, Master."

"I remember when I was a child, I went to the mountain with my friends. I just thought the mountain was really high. I wondered if it was connected to the sky."

"After that, we climbed for a long time and actually reached the top of the mountain. We found that the top was very high, but it didn't really connect to the sky."

"Moreover, looking out from the mountaintop, there are even higher mountains all around, and those higher mountains don't even reach the sky."

Hearing this, Zuo Ruotong sighed: "Climbing mountains? Even if you climb to the top, you still can't reach the heavens? You see things very clearly, but I'm just stuck in the middle of it all."

Huang Yu asked cautiously, "Master, are you alright?"

Zuo Ruotong sneered, "Are you underestimating your master? If the mountaintop can't lead to heaven, then your master will build a ladder to heaven!"

"What if we can't get a ride?"

"There will always be successors..."
