Chapter 141

141 The death of a Foundation establishment cultivator

Lu Qing was also thinking about something.

In the past three years, he had occasionally come out for a stroll or two, but most of the time, he had been cultivating in the closed-door cultivation room. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to reach the sixth-stage golden core realm so quickly.

Now that he had achieved his goal, and he was a lonely man, he didn’t want to stay here anymore.

Thus, he decided to run further away this time.

He went to the spirit Lake vein.

Yingying was indeed a little far away.

Lu mingchao, who was already at the ninth-tier foundation building realm, should be making preparations to break through to the initial enlightenment realm by now.

Lu Qing wanted to see how his younger daughter’s preparations were going.

Lu Qing found her without much effort after he arrived.

The family’s two-star Spirit cleansing cave that could increase the cultivation speed had also been built. Most of them were on Yuyan mountain for cultivators who were at the foundation establishment stage and above.

The Lu clan’s cultivators could cultivate very quickly. The effects of these cave abodes should not be small.

He had also built one for Lu mingchao’s use at the spirit Lake vein.

When Lu Qing entered, he saw her sitting cross-legged on a futon. She had her hands folded in front of her chest. There was a dark, translucent jade stone that was emitting a cold air in her palm. It was half-floating.

This was the yin-essence water Jade.

She wasn’t absorbing the power from it, but was just familiarizing herself with it with the wisps of cold air it emitted. The spiritual Qi required for cultivation was mainly released from the spiritual vein.

She had just reached the ninth-tier foundation building realm and her cultivation level had already stabilized. The cultivation speed packages that Lu Qing had exchanged for her were effective.

“Yes, it seems that I can push forward the time to try to break through to the initial enlightenment stage.”

Just as he was thinking, a system message came.

[ Lu manting is dead. ]

Eh?

What was going on?

It was normal for there to be news of dead people in the clan, but most of them were mortals. The current population of the Lu family, old and young, was about 250 people. Cultivators were a small part of them, and the main population was still ordinary people.

If one couldn’t cultivate, life and death would be crueler than cultivators.

In this world where there was no systematic medical treatment, it was even more difficult for ordinary people to get treatment when they were sick. The mortal members of a cultivation family like the Lu family were easier to deal with. After all, there were cultivators in the family and they had blood ties. They could more or less be taken care of. But even so, when the mortals of the clan grew old, they would grow older when they reached seventy or eighty years old. And often, when one reached old age, one’s body would weaken and one could only recuperate at home.

But then again, these death messages were common, but not every one of them would pop up for him.

Only the death of a cultivator would be like this.

Lu Qing had some impression of the name Lu manting. She was the second child of Lu Qing’s eighth son, Lu chaozhao. She was already at the ninth level of the Qi refining stage this year, and she was only 58 years old.

Wait a minute, Qi disciple level 9, just a little bit more than 60?

When he combined these two elements, Lu Qing could roughly guess how she had died.

He returned to Yuyan mountain after seeing that his daughter had nothing to worry about.

After he went back, he took a look and it was just as he had guessed.

The clan could not provide her with foundation building pills, and Lu manting was a rather unyielding person. She did not want her cultivation path to end just like that. Thus, she mimicked her younger aunt, Lu mingchao. Without telling anyone, she secretly went to her residence and set up a formation for closed-door cultivation. Then, she began to try to break through to the foundation building realm.

By the time people realized something was wrong, she had already started.

No matter how worried they were, they couldn’t interrupt her at this time. Her relatives and friends could only have some expectations in their hearts and watch over her with worry.

However, on the fifth day, the spirit power gathered there suddenly became chaotic, a sign that something was wrong with the people cultivating inside.

Lu chaoxi, who had been alerted and rushed over, wished that he could personally take action to suppress the chaos. However, outsiders really could not interfere with the matter of a breakthrough. This was the experience left behind by countless bloody lessons in the cultivation world.

They could only wait and see if Lu manting could control herself.

However, she failed.

If one failed to reach the Foundation Stage without using a Foundation Stage pill, the only outcome would be death.

How could such an outcome not make one sigh?

Lu Qing could not bear to watch the scene.

It was not a pretty sight to die after failing to build a foundation.

After a few days, the funeral was almost over. Lu Qing even specially called Lu chaoxi over.

“Have you settled the matter with manting?”

“Yes, he has been buried. The memorial tablet has also been placed in the ancestral hall.” Lu chaoxi’s mood was rather heavy.

Lu Qing sighed and asked, ” “Help your eighth brother’s line when you can.”

The person Lu Qing was talking about was his eighth child, Lu chaozhao.

Chaozhao was considered to be the most talented of his children, and he had a bright future in cultivation. Although there was a small conflict between the fire-metal double spiritual roots, it was still better since they were mainly fire-based. When he was forty years old, he entered the foundation building realm, and his future was considered bright.

Unfortunately, when he was forty-five years old, he died in the battle when the Zhao clan attacked the mountain Gate.

Chaozhao died early and left behind four bloodlines. The eldest was dead, the third was a mortal, but there was a new generation with spiritual roots. The fourth was useless.

These two girls were considered to be the more successful ones among chaozhao’s four children. Now that they were dead, Lu Qing really felt that he had to support his eighth son’s family.

“Wenxian is very talented. In the future, we will definitely help him reach the foundation building realm.” Lu chaoxi replied.

Lu Wenxian was a child who was born last year. He was the grandson of the third son of the Imperial court, Lu tingfan.

...

“Then it’s settled, go.”

......

Then, Lu Qing began his own cultivation.

However, he did not manage to cultivate for long this time.

Half a month later, he was woken up by a system message.

[ the family’s cultivator, Lu Weiwen, has triggered a fortuitous encounter. ]

[ activating experience mode, click to see the details. ]

A fortuitous encounter? Training mode?

Lu Qing quickly remembered that he had exchanged for a family tradition that would increase the chances of having a fortuitous encounter. Could it have been effective?

Why was it Lu Weiwen?

This child, Jian Jia, had just died back then. When she was awakened by the system, she was only three years old. She was a cute little loli who looked like she was carved out of Jade and was very likable.

...

Now, in the blink of an eye, she was already twenty-three years old, a slender and elegant lady.

She had dual metal and earth spiritual roots, a metal virtue spiritual body, and she had also switched to cultivating the wondrous-grade metal element cultivation technique ‘golden sun heaven opening mantra’ that the Han clan had given her. Her rate of improvement had increased even more.

He entered the Qi refining stage at the age of 13 and reached the ninth level of Qi refining stage in ten years. After a few more days of training, he should be able to prepare for the foundation building stage, right?

With double spiritual roots and a gold virtue spirit body, she could even try to build her Foundation without the need for a foundation building pill. It would be easier for her to succeed than ordinary people with three or double spiritual roots who used a foundation building pill.

I didn’t feel too well after work today and wanted to lie down for a while. When I opened my eyes, it was already 12 o ‘clock.

I’m having a headache right now. I didn’t get SARS, did I?

This is the only chapter left. There should have been another regular update today, but I’ll return it to everyone tomorrow!

I’ll try to publish four more chapters tomorrow!
