There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 105, The third stage of the Jade Body… Yellow Jade Body
In Chaoge City, the night was deep, like a splash-ink painting, and all was silent.

Half an hour later, Lu Yue followed the ascetic monk to a temple that still retained its ancient charm. Although the temple had gone through vicissitudes of life, it still stood tall.

"Amitabha, you can stay in the second room on the right. That was where a previous donor lived. He went out at night and never came back."

At this point, the ascetic monk kindly reminded: "So, donor, don't go out after dark, no matter what sound you hear."

"Thank you, Master. I have always been an honest person, always listening to advice, not curious, and I become timid at night and dare not run around." Lu Yue agreed humbly.

Afterwards, the ascetic monk left, and Lu Yue pushed open the doors of other rooms in the side hall one by one.

Sure enough, all the other rooms were covered with thick dust, except the second one on the right, which was clean and tidy, as if the previous guest had just left.

Then Lu Yue inspected the temple again, but found nothing strange. Finally, he peeked at the ascetic monk and found that he was meditating with his eyes closed in the main hall.

Lu Yue returned to the room, put down his backpack, and decided to start the breakthrough without further delay.

There are currently seventy-two strands of source energy.

Focus on the task, deduce and integrate, and complete it in one go.

A total of forty strands of source energy were consumed.

"Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing Yu Ti Chapter 4th Edition" is freshly released.

After memorizing it, Lu Yue began to practice.

The Jade Body, as the second stage, symbolizes hope, life...

after an hour.

Green light was surging on Lu Yue's body, seemingly the same as usual, but if someone looked closely, they would find another color appeared in the green light. A strange glow was quietly leaping, like stars embellishing the night sky, and then spreading throughout his body.

The next second, the bottleneck was broken.

A dazzling yellow light suddenly burst out.

The sun rises in the east, shining brightly.

At the same time, the ascetic monk who was concentrating with his eyes closed in the main hall was awakened by the dazzling light. He opened his eyes and looked out the window, wondering, "It's getting light so soon?"

However, the light was fleeting. The ascetic monk frowned, stood up and walked out of the hall, went straight to Lu Yue's residence, arrived at the door and found that everything was normal, and finally returned to the main hall to continue meditating.

At this time in the room, after the ascetic monk left, Lu Yue slowly opened his eyes, with an unconcealable joy flashing in his eyes.

Finally successfully reached the third stage of jade body... yellow jade body.

The light of topaz shines in all directions, it is more than just noble.

Throughout the ages, this color has represented being above everyone else.

This is the color of an emperor!!!
Topaz body!
Lu Yue performed it again.

The yellow light moved as the heart wished, penetrating through the clothes, as if one was wearing a dazzling yellow robe.

Lu Yue was filled with curiosity. The jade body had only reached the third stage and had already reached the color that symbolized the top of the human world. What would the fourth stage or even the final form be like?
After calming down, Lu Yue remembered that there were still some things he hadn't done tonight, so he got up and left the room. Without any hesitation, he walked towards the main hall and knocked on the wooden door.

"Master, are you there?"

The ascetic monk's steady voice came from inside the door: "What can I do for you, benefactor?"

"It's so late, Master, you're still awake. I can't sleep either, so I want to talk to you about something."

Ascetic monk: “…”

After getting the consent, Lu Yue pushed the door open and walked in.

The main hall was simply furnished. Apart from the tattered stone Buddha statue, there was only an old bronze tripod covered with a bronze lid, which was quite consistent with the identity of an ascetic monk.

"Master, I have some doubts and would like to ask you for advice." Lu Yue asked.

"Donor, are you wondering how long I have been in the ruins?" The ascetic monk smiled slightly, as if he could see through Lu Yue's thoughts.

"Amitabha, I have been here for half a year."

This was around the time when the ruins first started invading Tai City, which meant that this ascetic monk was one of the first beta test players.

It is highly likely that we should know the reason for the changes in the ruins.

"Master, I..." Lu Yue was about to speak but was interrupted by the ascetic monk.

"The donor wants to know why the concentration of spiritual energy in the ruins is so low." The ascetic monk continued, "All living beings suffer. Letting go will bring you freedom. All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. They are like dew and lightning. You should view them in this way..."

"I was chosen by the ruins to be one of the first people to enter the ruins. I was indeed very lucky at the beginning. The concentration of spiritual energy in this small ruins is five or six times that of the outside world. After only four months of training inside, I reached the third level of the Divine Treasure."

"But now the concentration of spiritual energy has decreased. It all started two months ago. That day, I was practicing as usual. An unknown earthquake suddenly occurred in the ruins. I saw a bronze palace in Chaoge City leave the ground and float in the air, gradually moving away."

Lu Yue pondered secretly, from what he said, it seemed that the bronze palace was still on the ground in Chaoge City, but it suddenly took off?

"Master, two..." Lu Yue asked again.

"Donor, do you want to know what happened two months ago?"

Lu Yue: “…”

"I don't know much about this matter. I only know that the concentration of spiritual energy in the ruins has been decreasing since two months ago. It has become thinner and thinner, and even those ghosts have gradually disappeared."

“Perhaps before long, the spiritual energy of this relic will be exhausted.”

This is similar to the worst-case scenario predicted by the authorities.

What on earth happened just two months ago?

and many more!

Lu Yue suddenly remembered something.

Two months ago, wasn't it the time when Zhang Yaling came out of the Changshan Village ruins node? Although Lu Yue couldn't be completely sure of the exact day, the time was too much of a coincidence.

Is Zhang Yaling's appearance related to the relic earthquake?
What happened afterwards? What happened after the earthquake? "Master, I..." Lu Yue tried to speak for the third time.

"Donor, are you asking me what happened after the earthquake?"

Lu Yue shook his head and said, "No, I want to ask you, Master, do you eat spicy noodles? I walked around the city and found that there is no food for sale here. Master, what do you usually eat?"

Boom boom boom… Boom boom boom…

At this moment, there was a sudden and sharp knock on the door outside the temple.

The ascetic monk's face suddenly became solemn, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's those crazy people... They are here again."

Lu Yue frowned, his eyes piercing through the night as he stared at the door that was knocked. He did not catch any scent of ghosts or supernatural beings.

No one outside?

But if there was no one at the door, how did the knocking sound?

And the rhythm is just four taps each time, no more, no less.

According to folklore, this kind of knocking on the door is a sign of ghosts.

After a while, the knocking stopped abruptly and the "person" seemed to have left.

The ascetic explained in a low voice.

"Two months ago, not long after the Bronze Palace was lifted off the ground, a piece of news came out from somewhere."

"The Bronze Palace is suspended. Bigan is dead. The throne is vacant. The number of people who can become gods is also vacant. Only the extraordinary person who survives can become the master of the Bronze Palace and become the next god."

"I have been here for half a year. In the last two months, this ruins was like hell on earth. In order to achieve the illusory path to godhood, some people used all means to hunt down extraordinary people for a living, and even killed their friends."

"They claim to hear the voice of God. These people are completely crazy..."

“Some people were killed by them, and some found the ruins nodes and left early... Fortunately, I am quite powerful, so I was able to escape.”

Lu Yue was secretly shocked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in the ruins.

But what is the so-called vacant throne of God?

Just about half a month ago, Doctor Zhang beat Bigan back into the ruins.

Since Bi Gan in the ruins is not dead, how can the throne of deity be empty?

Where did this rumor come from?

At this moment, the strange knock on the door was heard again.

dong dong dong...

The banging sounds became more and more intense, like a death warrant.

"It's those crazy people. They are back again. We must hide and not be discovered."

"Master, how can we hide?" Lu Yue said. He had checked before. This temple was poorly laid out and in tatters. Any extraordinary person could check it out in a few minutes. There was no place to hide at all.

"There is a secret passage behind the Buddha statue. I usually hide in it."

Lu Yue immediately approached the Buddha statue in the main hall and found a mechanism behind it. After pushing the stone away, a secret passage quietly emerged.

Ascetic monk: "Donor, you hide in there, those crazy people will never find you."

Lu Yue did not take any action, but asked: "Master, what about you?"

"Amitabha, life and death are empty, all dharmas are suffering, life and death are one, everything is nothing, if I don't go to hell, who will? I only dug a tunnel the size of a person. I am familiar with the route to Chaoge City and can lead that madman away..."

"We have only met once, and Master is willing to sacrifice himself for others. What I admire most in my life is people like you who are righteous. Master, you go inside the Buddha statue and hide first. I will go and lead the madman away." Lu Yue stamped his feet and beat his chest, speaking sincerely and with a calm look.

Just at this moment, the knocking on the door stopped again.

Just when Lu Yue wanted to go out and take a look, his right hand was pulled out by the ascetic monk.

"It's dangerous outside. I'm going to go out and see if those crazy people have left."

After saying this, the ascetic monk opened the temple door and instantly disappeared into the darkness.

However, just a few breaths later, a disheveled figure flew in backwards, the ascetic monk vomited blood, and fell at Lu Yue's feet with a face as pale as paper.

Lu Yue checked carefully and found that he was really injured.

A man with the strength of the third level of Shenzang was seriously injured in just a few seconds. Could it be that the strength of the "person" who knocked on the door was at the fourth or fifth level of Shenzang?

"Amitabha, those lunatics are the boss of the night. I fell into their trap and was beaten by them. You must not go out. You lost your life in vain."

"Master, please go into the secret passage. I'll go out and take a look."

"Amitabha, benefactor, please don't do that. Let's squeeze together and hope those crazy people won't find out." The ascetic monk panted and used his last bit of strength to crawl into the secret passage of the Buddha statue.

Lu Yue frowned and looked around again and again. He only heard footsteps outside, but when he went out, he did not see any figure.

It was as if there really was an invisible person wandering around outside.

Lu Yue returned to the back of the Buddha statue and took a look inside.

"Master, are you still there?"

"exist."

Lu Yue thought for a moment and repeatedly confirmed that the ascetic monk was really inside.

Then he jumped in.
