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

Chapter 145: Corpse Pit in the Jujube Grove
Just as Lu Yue was enjoying the "health-preserving electrotherapy" and searching for the real lightning-struck wood in the jujube forest, the figures of the evil star Li Hu and his companions quietly emerged from the explored area behind him.

But at this moment, they all looked extremely miserable, with white smoke rising from their heads. Even the sturdy body of the evil star Li Hu was ragged due to the invasion of thunder and lightning. He simply tore off his tattered clothes, revealing his physique that even the muscular men in the gym could not match.

"The lightning power contained in these jujube trees is too terrifying. I only touched five of them, and I couldn't even find the real lightning-struck tree before I couldn't bear it."

"I only have four trees. If we keep searching like this, even we won't be able to handle it."

"Brother Tiger is really awesome. He knocked down 20 lightning-struck jujube trees with one punch each, and he was unscathed. His body's resistance is really strong."

While several people complained that the power of lightning in the jujube forest was too strong, they focused their attention on the inverted figure in the front, with envy in their eyes.

"I think even those with hundreds of years of bloodline transcendence are no match for Brother Tiger. Brother Tiger will definitely be one of the top strong men in the future."

"Whenever Brother Hu passes by a city, he will definitely challenge the local genius. There are not many masters in the younger generation of Mucheng, but I heard that there is a civilian extraordinary person in the nearby Taicheng who participated in the ruins. His name seems to be Lu Yue, and he is also very powerful."

"Lu Yue? I haven't heard of him. Isn't there a lot of geniuses that our Brother Tiger has defeated?"

"Genius is only just beginning to get to know our Tiger Brother!"

At this time, one of the extraordinary people seemed to notice something, looked down at his feet and said in surprise: "Hey, have you noticed that the lightning power in this area is very weak, and... the lightning power in these jujube trees seems to be gone?"

"Really? What's going on?"

Several people originally thought that this was just a coincidence, but they became more and more surprised as they walked further, because this large grove of jujube trees had completely lost the power of lightning, as if the power of lightning in this area had been dispelled by some mysterious force.

At this time, someone recalled that two figures had passed by here before, one of them was a middle-aged man with his hair tied in a bun, and the other was a young man.

"Could it be that middle-aged man? I think his hairstyle looks like a Taoist, and he was also familiar with lightning-struck wood. Maybe he did it."

Taoism is an organization of extraordinary people that has existed for thousands of years.

Moreover, it is an organization as ancient and unfathomable as Buddhism and the Demon-Suppression Bureau.

At this time, a cry of surprise came from a distance: "I found the real lightning-struck wood!"

Several people hurriedly followed the sound.

In the distance, I saw a tire superhero hugging a tree excitedly.

If Lu Yue was present, he would definitely recognize that this was the young seedling of lightning-struck wood. However, it was now being targeted by these tire transcendents who were eager for wood. For them, even a small fish was worth catching.

"I heard someone found a lightning-struck tree. Where is it?"

The faces of the tire superhumans around suddenly changed.

When he looked up again, he saw the evil star Li Hu and his group rushing over. Among them, a proud Shenzang fourth-level extraordinary person ignored the tire men around him and checked carefully.

"Yes, it is indeed lightning-struck wood."

Although it was too young, had little vitality, and was of low quality among lightning-struck woods, it could still be made into a magical weapon. The man then smoothly broke the lightning-struck tree, whose lightning power had disappeared, and prepared to carry it away.

The tire man at the side said weakly: "Senior, I found this one."

“Is your name written on this tree?”

"No, but that...that doesn't have your name on it either." The man was unwilling.

Suddenly, the arrogant fourth-level Shenzang transcendent moved.

He immediately carved his name on the tree.

This blatant and shameless act of robbery made all the tire people on the scene change their faces and grit their teeth. Although they were unwilling, they could do nothing about it. A person with a higher level of strength could really crush someone to death.

"Does being strong allow you to do whatever you want?" One of the tire men clenched his fists and muttered.

"If you are strong, you can really do whatever you want." The man smiled slightly, not taking the Tire Transcendent seriously at all, then turned around and carried the real lightning-struck wood.

However, the next second, the evil star Li Hu said expressionlessly: "Return this lightning-struck wood to that Taoist, and tell him that I want to challenge him to a duel."

The arrogant extraordinary person who was trying to snatch the successful item on the side froze in his face.

No... this is a lightning-struck tree after all, and you're just going to return it like this?
Although he was somewhat reluctant, he also knew that the evil star Li Hu always kept his word and believed in breaking through himself in battle. As long as he met a qualified opponent, he would want to fight him no matter who it was.

At this moment, lightning struck the other side of the date orchard.

Master Lin, who was mistaken for a Taoist master, has no longer taken care of his health. Now his eyes look extremely dry from having not closed for a long time.

What kind of bloodline is in this Junior Brother Lu's body?
As they walked along, the power of thunder and lightning was enough to kill any extraordinary person at the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Realm, but Lu Yue didn't even raise a hair.

Could it be that this Junior Brother Lu has already reached the fifth level of the Divine Hidden Realm?

But even the fifth level of Shenzang had at least some reaction!

The more Master Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he kept trying to comfort the little girl.

Seeing that he hadn't found the second real lightning-struck wood for such a long time, he couldn't help feeling depressed. He simply lit up all the life-saving incense to try the effect. Soon a thick smoke rose up.

At this time, Lu Yue, who was walking through the forest in front, was very happy. Along the way, basically every jujube tree struck by lightning could temper his body once. Although the lightning power of each jujube tree was uneven and the effect of repeated tempering would weaken, even so, Lu Yue felt that his physical strength had increased a little.

With this punch, it is easy to inflict two or three tons of damage.

Moreover, the body-tempering effect of "Wudang Thirty-Six Skills Innate Charging Station" is a secondary byproduct. The most important thing is the nourishing effect of the transformed lightning innate energy on the Dharma image.

One's own Dharma image is undergoing a transformation.

At this moment, Daoist Master Lin suddenly shouted from behind with a mixture of ecstasy and astonishment: "Junior Brother Lu, I have found a real great opportunity."

Lu Yue turned his head and looked in that direction.

I saw that the smoke emitted by the vitality incense was all directed towards one place.

In order to avoid someone else taking the great opportunity, the two quickened their pace and followed the smoke instructions to the depths of the garden without delay. However, when they arrived, what appeared before them was a large filled-up pit.

"How could this happen? Judging from the remaining vitality and scope of this land, this must be a thousand-year-old date tree. Who pulled it out by the roots?"

Taoist Priest Lin opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He took a closer look and was so frightened that he jumped up, "Junior Brother Lu, there's... there's a body inside!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yue quickly stepped forward, glanced into the pit, picked up a branch nearby and removed the simple camouflage on it. Sure enough, there were corpses inside, and more than one.

The number of corpses piled up together was staggering, at least twenty or thirty.

Moreover, these corpses were obviously burned by lightning.

This number... suddenly reminded Lu Yue of the message Captain Liu had sent earlier, which mentioned that twenty or thirty people were missing from the account book.

Is it a coincidence or are these corpses the ghosts that have been possessed?

But why are these missing ghosts here? And why did they die in this way? Is there any explanation for this?
Judging from the surrounding soil, this date tree was obviously dug up not long ago.

If it really is a thousand-year-old jujube tree and the top-grade lightning-struck wood formed by lightning, it is normal for it to be dug up. I think even if the boss behind the scenes is willing to give it away, there is no reason for him to give them the real thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood at half the price.

However, the power of thunder and lightning contained in the Millennium Lightning-Struck Wood should not be underestimated. Even a transcendent being at the fourth level of the Divine Hidden Realm cannot pull it out.

Unless at any cost!

Exchange the life of a transcendent for this thousand-year-old lightning-struck date tree.

But in fact, extraordinary people are very careful about their lives, so this situation is not true.

Lu Yue's face was solemn, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the ghost that has taken over another person's body in this tree pit died because the tree was pulled out?

Liu Tiezhu had said before that after a thunderstorm, he once drove a car to transport goods, and there was a jujube tree among them. Perhaps it was this thousand-year-old jujube tree.

Can the boss Ma behind this drive these ghosts that possess other people's bodies?
The lightning-struck wood is feared even by the extraordinary people. It is impossible for those ghosts that have taken over other people's bodies to appear here by themselves. There is no simple money transaction behind this.

If you think about it carefully, in this possession incident, those ghosts not only possessed human identities, but also possessed ghost abilities, which is equivalent to supernatural beings to some extent.

However, truly extraordinary people are only one in a million.

The Demon Suppression Bureau has conducted statistics and found that the number of revived low-level ghosts generally exceeds that of extraordinary ones.

This method of possessing another's body can create a group of alternative "superhumans".

And he is also a "superhuman" who can be controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes.

There was a joke circulating on the Internet: If you had 10,000 special forces soldiers who didn't need food or drink, didn't want wages, were tireless, and submitted to you unconditionally, what would you do?
It’s definitely not about driving screws, there are so many things you can do in this process!
And as the business of possessing bodies grows bigger and stronger, the number will increase.

Just as Lu Yue was pondering the true thoughts of the person behind the scenes, he suddenly sensed someone coming. Turning around, he found that it was the extraordinary person in the team of the evil star Li Hu who looked arrogant in front of the tire man.

But at this time, the other party was carrying a tree and walking towards them.

No, he was walking towards Taoist Lin.

"Master, this is your tree. Just now, some losers wanted to take advantage of it, but my boss found out and asked me to deliver this lightning-struck tree to you." The extraordinary man said respectfully.

"This is outrageous! Do you know what it means to respect life, adapt to nature, and the importance of sustainable development..." Taoist Lin recognized the tree at a glance, got a little angry, and started lecturing the visitor.

The man was a little confused, but when he thought that the other party could easily disperse the lightning that struck the jujube tree, he was obviously a hidden master, so he kept silent and pretended to accept the criticism humbly.

Even Lu Yue was a little curious. This change was too big.

Arrogant at first, respectful later...

"Forget it, now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more, just go."

"Master Taoist, our leader asked me to bring a message to you. He hopes to have a competition with you to see who is better, not to decide life or death." The man stated the purpose of this trip.

Upon hearing this, Master Lin looked confused: "???"

He was actually invited to fight?
Taoist Priest Lin coughed twice and said guiltily: "Taoists have never been competitive."

He knew very well that fighting was not something he was good at, and it would easily consume his energy and shorten his lifespan. He wanted to live a few more years to continue studying ways to maintain health.

"As long as you accept, our boss is willing to give out 100,000 in cash as a reward."

Lu Yue standing by was dumbfounded.

Could this be the legendary martial arts fanatic who pays others to fight him?

Master Lin shook his head repeatedly, trying his best to explain that in a society ruled by law, private fighting is prohibited.

"Master, our boss likes to fight with masters and always upholds the principle of fairness. If you are accidentally injured by our boss, we will bear all the subsequent medical expenses, mental damage compensation, and loss of work wages, as long as our boss can enjoy the fight." The man continued to persuade without giving up.

Upon seeing this, Taoist Lin winked at Lu Yue, signaling him to evacuate quickly.

"Master, if you don't answer, I will take it as your consent..."

Master Lin staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately he managed to get rid of it in the end.

"Why do people like fighting and killing in this world?"

"There is no shortage of geniuses and strong men in this world, but there are many geniuses and strong men who died young. Take my Junior Brother Fang for example. He used to be very strong, but something happened and he disappeared for a while."

"Junior Brother Lu, you must not learn bad things from these crazy people."

"These days, living long is the hard truth."

Taoist Lin kept talking along the way, full of emotion.

"Whether you are a brilliant genius or a powerful warrior, there is always someone better than you in this world. If you are always striving for superiority, it goes against the principles of health preservation and will only end up being a flash in the pan..."

Taoist Priest Lin talked endlessly about the benefits of health preservation, and emphasized that health preservation should start from childhood. One should pay attention to adjusting the mentality as well as taking care of the body, and not engage in violence at every turn.

The more Lu Yue listened, the more he felt that Taoist Lin seemed to have Buddhist blood, just like the legendary Tang Monk, who kept nagging.

"Master Lin, the best way to maintain your health is to kill your enemies."

"What do you mean?" Taoist Lin was a little confused.

"Kill your enemies, and the rest will be your friends. If you have a good attitude, you will live longer."

Priest Lin: “????”

What kind of nonsense is this? Why does it feel like this junior brother is the same as his other junior brother?

In the following time, Lu Yue used the charging pile to continuously absorb the lightning power from the lightning-struck tree, while following Taoist Lin to find suitable lightning-struck wood.

God helps those who work hard, at the last moment the two finally found two hundred-year-old lightning-struck trees suitable for making magic tools.

Lu Yue and Taoist Lin each picked one, carried it on their shoulders and walked away.

Hurry to the outside of the date orchard.

Through the introduction of Master Lin, Lu Yue also learned some little-known facts.

This lightning-struck tree is currently just a prototype. If you want to use it better, you need to find professionals to process it. If non-professionals process it without authorization, it is likely to destroy the lightning-struck wood.

This involves many profound theories of making magic tools...
