The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 44: Lightning-Struck Wood

Seeing Su Bai and his group coming in, a beautiful woman in a white cheongsam soon came up to them.

"Master Tang!"

Tang Qiubai waved his hand, signaling her to leave, and bowed to Su Bai and said, "Mr. Su, please!"

Su Bai nodded lightly and strode in with Su Qingyao.

Seeing that Tang Qiubai was so respectful to a young man with ordinary looks, everyone in the hall looked at Su Bai with a strange look in their eyes.

A plump, rosy-faced man came over and asked Tang Qiubai, "Mr. Tang, who is this?"

Seeing this man coming, Tang Qiubai did not dare to neglect him. This guy was the real estate king of Jiangzhou. Almost half of the properties in Jiangzhou belonged to him. He was worth billions. If it were not for the Tang family's tiger skin, Tang Qiubai could not compare with such a big guy.

"Mr. Chen, this is Mr. Su! Mr. Su is a true immortal master!" Tang Qiubai introduced with a smile.

Chen Guang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Bai, with a half-smile on his face. He looked at Su Bai and said, "What magical powers does Mr. Su have? Can you let me see them?"

Su Bai glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you have the qualifications to see my magical powers?"

After saying that, he pulled Su Qingyao, who had a dazed look on her face, and walked away.

Chen Guang's face was gloomy, and he was about to get angry, but he saw Tang Qiubai frowning and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Su's temper is just like that. You must not take it to heart! Besides, Mr. Su is my grandfather's guest. I think Mr. Chen should understand what I mean, right?"

Chen Guang's expression froze immediately, but he forced a smile and said, "So you're Mr. Tang's guest. No wonder you have such a strong personality!"

Tang Qiubai sneered in his heart, but said nothing. "It's good that Mr. Chen understands. I have something else to do. I'll excuse myself first!"

After saying that, he left Chen Guang, whose expression became increasingly ugly.

After walking around, Su Bai suddenly lost interest. He really didn't expect that the so-called immortal exchange meeting was just a cocktail party!

A guy dressed in Taoist robes and monk's clothes, muttering "Wulian Tianzun" and "Amitabha" in his mouth, speaking obscure and profound words, causing a group of wealthy people around him to nod their heads repeatedly.

"Is this the talented person you went through so much trouble to find?" Su Bai glanced at Tang Qiubai.

Tang Qiubai smiled awkwardly, "In modern society, our elders have all adapted to the customs of the world and generally won't display their magical powers easily."

Su Bai sneered, shook his head and said nothing. These guys were either performing tricks or magic. Even those who possessed internal energy were very few. How could they have any magical powers?

Seeing this, he had no interest in staying any longer. When he was about to call Su Qingyao to leave, he saw a group of people gathered in the corner of the hall, exclaiming continuously, which aroused everyone's curiosity and they all gathered over.

"Oh, Master Qi is indeed a master of the immortal family. He can actually control the sky fire and create fire in the void. He is truly a god!"

"He holds the Heavenly Fire in his hands. He is a master from the Immortal Family! I never thought I would actually meet such a master today!"

"He's simply an immortal!"

A group of well-dressed men and women looked at a skinny middle-aged man with a goatee dressed as a Taoist priest in the field with their eyes shining with wonder.

The middle-aged man with a goatee had an arrogant look on his face. He held one hand behind his back, a red flame dancing on his palm, a terrifying display. In front of him, a young man clutched a charred piece of wood tightly. His face was throbbing with veins. He stared at the middle-aged man with the goatee and said, "Old Ghost Qi, don't go too far!"

Qi Lianshan sneered and said, "Since you just lost to me, this 'Lightning Wood' should belong to me!"

"Hmph!" The young man's face flushed red, a ball of silver lightning appeared in the palm of his hand, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't lost yet!"

As he spoke, he growled and struck the old man with a goat beard with his palm. The lightning in his palm turned into a silver light and crackled away.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. They never expected that there was actually someone in this world who could control thunder and fire!

Tang Qiubai looked at the two people on the field with burning eyes. He probably didn't expect that real masters would appear at this so-called exchange meeting, right?

Those well-dressed Taoists and monks were also dumbfounded and looked incredulous at this moment. They were all top students of the Modern Taoist Association and the Buddhist Association. They never believed in any strange gods or supernatural powers. They came to this so-called exchange meeting today just to take the opportunity to build relationships with the wealthy people in Jiangzhou and get more "incense money" in the future. But today they saw with their own eyes someone controlling fire and thunder!

Protected by two black-clad bodyguards, Chen Guang looked into the arena from afar, his eyes burning but no one knew what he was thinking.

Su Bai ignored all this and squeezed in front of Su Qingyao, who was full of excitement. He shook his head and smiled, saying, "Sister, let's go!"

In his eyes, such a fight was not even children playing house and was not worth watching at all.

Su Qingyao's face was filled with excitement. She looked at Su Bai and said, "Wait, this is magic! I've never seen such a magical scene! By the way, Su Bai, who do you think will win?"

"Magic?" Su Bai chuckled and said, "Sister, you underestimate magic, don't you? Even the lowest-level magic is not this weak! Real lightning and fire magic can easily destroy most of the dome of this hall!"

"As for who will win," Su Bai smiled faintly, "it will naturally be the middle-aged man with the goatee."

He could tell at a glance what their cultivation levels were. The man with the goatee must have been in the early stages of Qi Condensation, while the young man wasn't even there, barely beginning his journey. The difference was enormous. The quality of their internal essence was pitifully low, barely comparable to a warrior's internal energy.

"No way?" Su Qingyao was a little confused. "I think that young man's lightning is very powerful!"

"That's right! What do you know, you young brat? How dare you talk about magic so brazenly?" An old man in Taoist robes with white hair and a youthful face said disdainfully, "Do you know that the power of thunder and lightning is not invisible? It's mainly used for attack and destruction. I don't think this young man has no chance of winning!"

"It turns out to be Vice President Wang of the Jiangzhou Taoist Association! Since Mr. Wang said so, maybe something unexpected will happen next!"

"Yes, Elder Wang has practiced Taoism for many years. How can a young boy compare to him?"

When the old man saw that everyone was complimenting him, a proud smile suddenly appeared on his face. But before the smile faded, the old man with a goatee in the field showed a disdainful sneer on his face. The flame in his hand suddenly became hot and turned into a big mouth, swallowing the fierce lightning in one gulp.

In an instant, everyone was speechless. The old man from the Jiangzhou Taoist Association turned red and white, looking embarrassed.

He glanced at Su Bai secretly, but saw that Su Bai was not looking at him at all, but was staring at the inconspicuous half-burnt wood in the young man's hand.

"Interesting, I actually encountered so many rare treasures today!" A hint of surprise flashed in Su Bai's eyes. Looking at the charred wood in the young man's hand, his face was full of excitement: "It's actually lightning-struck wood! Although I don't know its quality and age, it is enough for me to refine a 'Flying Thunder Sword'!" In the world of cultivation, lightning-struck wood also contains the power of thunder and lightning. If it is used to refine a magic weapon, it will definitely be the nemesis of evil monsters. It is an extremely rare thing. He actually encountered it on the ground today. He can only sigh that his luck has changed!

No one heard Su Bai's mumbling, and everyone's eyes were all on the middle-aged man with a goatee.

The man, with a sneer on his face, walked up to the young man, kicked him to the ground, and said coldly, "You lose the bet!"

After saying this, he was about to bend down to pick up the charred wood. His face flushed with excitement, but before his hand touched the wood, he found that his body suddenly stiffened. A suffocating pressure came over him, and a handsome young man appeared in front of him.

"I want this lightning-struck wood!"
