Chapter 42 The Deadline Is Approaching (Please Read On!)

Chapter 42 Deadline Approaching

Ten days passed quietly, and the stone door of the cave mansion still did not open. For the Lu family, it meant that Lu Dinghai's hundred-day foundation building had reached the final stage.

From today on, with each passing day, Lu Dinghai's hope of successfully building a foundation became increasingly slim.

Every day, there were Lu family members meditating and guarding in front of the cave mansion.

"Second brother, do you think Third Grandpa succeeded? Why hasn't he come out yet?"

When Lu Yu brought food to Lu Ya, he looked at the stone door without any movement and turned to look at Lu Ya and asked.

Lu Ya shook his head and said nothing.

If building a foundation is so simple, how could it be the first major hurdle between immortals and mortals.

Under the foundation building, even if the Qi training is perfect, it is still essentially a mortal body, and the life span is no more than 120 years, the limit of mortals.

But once the foundation is built, the essence of life changes, and the most intuitive manifestation is the exponential increase in life span.

It is recorded in the Fengwuzhi in the Lu family's Sutra Pavilion that the record holder for the life span of a foundation-building cultivator is 248 years old.

It can be said that once a cultivator builds his foundation, he has officially embarked on the road to immortality.

Even if after building his foundation, he does not want to step into the chaotic world of cultivation, he can choose a Feng Shui treasure land, marry a few wives and concubines to expand his family and establish a cultivation family.

The ancestor of the Lu family did so, but he did it to prosper his own family bloodline, not to covet pleasure and wealth.

Lu Ya said softly: "Third Grandpa is a lucky person, and there is still time, just wait quietly."

Lu Yu nodded, and after sitting with Lu Ya for a while, he got up and left.

Lu Ya sat cross-legged on a huge rock facing the cave, looked up at the increasingly dark sky, then closed his eyes and waited quietly.

The days of waiting were so torturous that it was the second to last day of the 120 days in a blink of an eye.

Everyone in the Lu family gathered spontaneously in front of the No. 1 earth vein cave, all with sad faces.

It has been 119 days, and there is still no movement in the cave. According to the theory of building a foundation in 100 days, the foundation building of Third Master Lu Dinghai is likely to have failed.

After tomorrow, the Lu family will open the cave from the outside and bury Lu Dinghai's body.

Lu Dingbo's eyes were red. There were only two of them left out of the seven brothers at the beginning. "Third brother, please don't get hurt."

"Alas!"

Sighs sounded from the crowd, mixed with low sobs.

"If there was no attack from that foundation-building monster at that time, Third Grandpa would not have been injured again. Maybe he would have successfully built a foundation and become the third foundation-building cultivator of my Lu family."

Some people in the crowd were indignant, and this resentment continued to extend outward, naturally extending to the Fanfeng Leopard that caused Lu Dinghai's injury to worsen.

Lu Ya stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's words, thinking about how his third grandfather had guided him in his practice and helped him to train his courage over the past few years.

Now, such an old man is about to fall on the road of pursuing the avenue.

Lu Ya took a deep breath and turned to walk out.

There is still more than a day left, and he must do something.

For example, go and try to kill the Fanfeng Leopard.

Lu Ya's departure was silent. Even if someone found Lu Ya leaving, they would think that he had something to do. No one would think that Lu Ya was going to do such a shocking thing.

At this time, the sun had just risen for a short time, and it would take about an hour to reach the highest point in the sky.

Lu Ya walked out of the family fully armed, looked back in the direction of the No. 1 Earth Vein Cave, and then rushed into the dense wilderness without hesitation.

As the culprit who almost destroyed the Lu family, the Fanfeng Leopard's habits, preferences, and territory had long been explored by the Lu family.

If it weren't for the fact that the second-level monster's strength was comparable to that of a foundation-building monster, and the cost of hunting it with all one's strength was too high, the Lu family would have gathered the strength of the entire family to kill it and eliminate the trouble forever.

After leaving the family, Lu Ya headed north all the way. The weeds along the way quickly grew taller. After walking five miles, Lu Ya looked at a vibrant forest in front of him and stepped into it resolutely.

Although the Fanfeng Leopard was a second-level monster, its innate habits had not changed, and it still liked to live in the jungle.

Lu Ya walked about three kilometers to the center of the forest, dodging and killing countless snakes, insects, rats and ants that attempted to sneak attack him along the way, and finally saw a towering tree not far away.

It was a giant tree with a diameter of five meters and a height of a hundred meters. Against the backdrop of the huge canopy of shade, it was like a giant pillar that supported the sky, which was amazing.

Although he learned from the family intelligence that the Fanfeng Leopard lived on this giant tree, Lu Ya was still shocked by it after seeing it with his own eyes.

After looking at the giant tree for a while, Lu Ya suppressed his shock, and walked towards the giant tree with great vigilance.

He did not encounter any threats during this journey, but Lu Ya was not happy, because this reminded him all the time that he had taken the initiative to step into the territory of a second-level monster.

The closer he got to the giant tree, the more Lu Ya could feel its hugeness.

He used all his strength to operate the Breathing Technique, and the peak-level Breathing Technique almost eliminated all the fluctuations of mana during Lu Ya's journey.

At the same time, he used muscle control to reduce his breathing and heartbeat to the minimum, and the whole person was like a moving stone, slowly approaching forward.

Until he reached a position about 300 meters away from the giant tree, Lu Ya hid behind a small tree and observed the giant tree 300 meters away through the gap.

The Fanfeng Leopard was three meters tall at the shoulder and about seven meters long. With such a huge body, it was almost impossible to hide, and there was no need to hide.

So Lu Ya soon found the Brahma Wind Leopard resting with its eyes closed on a thick branch in the middle of the giant tree.

Lu Ya's eyes were not clearly focused, and he only relied on the corner of his eyes to observe this powerful existence.

Whether it is a high-level cultivator or a monster, the perception has become extremely sharp after being sublimated again and again.

Not to mention looking directly, even if it is relying on the corner of the eye, there is a possibility of being discovered.

After careful observation for a while, Lu Ya found that compared with the last time, the other party's breath had hardly changed after this meeting.

However, compared with the last time when he couldn't breathe, his performance this time was much better, at least he no longer had the oppressive feeling of a huge rock pressing on his body.

Seeing that the other party was leisurely swinging his tail like a steel whip at this moment, Lu Ya did not rush up rashly.

Most leopard monsters hide during the day and come out at night, and the Brahma Wind Leopard is no exception. When night falls, it is the time Lu Ya is waiting for.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lu Ya seemed to have turned into a stone tablet, with an indistinct breath. During this time, snakes and insects crawled around Lu Ya and even on his body, but he had no intention of moving.

It was not until night fell and darkness enveloped the entire forest that Lu Ya suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
