To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 3: Wild Yellow Dog

After hesitating repeatedly, Lu Yuan finally decided that a wooden door alone was not secure enough. He needed to add an extra layer of protection.

Turning around, he came to the back of the wooden door, reached out to the stone wall next to it, and picked up the largest wooden board that had been previously cut.

In two steps, he reached the back of the stone door. With a bang, he placed the wooden board behind the door, instantly thickening the originally thin wooden door.

When the first wooden board was placed, Lu Yuan turned around and fetched the second one. By the time he laid down the third board, the original door had already been mostly covered.

Only a small gap was left in the middle, through which he could observe the outside situation and even stick out a few arrows as necessary. This was a reserved shooting hole.

After completing these tasks, Lu Yuan didn't stop. He went to the nearby stone wall, fetched several thick columns, placed them diagonally to support the wooden boards, and further secured the door.

Having completed these tasks, he was somewhat tired from the series of actions.

However, after patting his hands, Lu Yuan looked at the significantly reinforced wooden door and revealed a satisfied smile. He nodded and said, "Not bad. Now there's a sense of safety."

Yes, the sense of safety was what he needed.

The damn 'Immortality' ability from the Golden Finger had no value at present and couldn't be put to any use.

The situation in the mountains was very dangerous, and the Wild Yellow Dog was even hunting outside. As a newcomer who had just traversed dimensions, how could he not add multiple layers of protection?

Although he was new to traversing dimensions, as an avid reader of countless novels, Lu Yuan knew the importance of taking precautions.

Upon realizing the dangers around him, he immediately took countermeasures.

True, he had always complained about the lack of power granted by the Golden Finger. However, after all, it had given him an extremely long life, even if he lacked strength.

When he thought of the fact that he could live for tens of thousands, millions, or even billions of years, and enjoy an almost endless lifespan, he felt that his life should be preserved at all costs.

Yes, he now held the lowly status of a hunter, living almost like a savage.

But there's a saying, right?

Even if you allowed a pig to live for hundreds of years, it would become enlightened at some point.

Lu Yuan was confident that he was stronger than a pig and hadn't been granted longevity for nothing.

With so many favorable conditions, the current difficulties would definitely be temporary.

It's just a matter of lacking a social status, right?

He could simply endure a few hundred years until Yue Country was destroyed. Then, in the chaos after its collapse, he could create a new identity and completely whitewash his past.

Moreover, with a few hundred years of accumulation, would he have any trouble gaining wealth?

By making more grand plans, he could spend a few hundred years planning and then rebellions to become an emperor. It wasn't an entirely impossible idea.

And as an immortal emperor, he could rule something Emperor Qin had only dreamt of—an everlasting dynasty. Wouldn't that be reasonable?

So, even if it wasn't for anything else, to fulfill his future emperor dreams, he couldn't die now.

"Injuries cannot be allowed either. If my imperial body is damaged and disabled, it would undermine the very foundation of the kingdom," Lu Yuan thought, comforting and indulging himself in fantasies.

Having experienced the bizarre event of dimensional travel and being in such a dangerous environment, he needed to think of something to divert his attention, or he feared he would go insane.

Finally, after thoroughly checking the wooden door one last time and ensuring that it was tightly closed and couldn't be broken into from the outside, he felt at ease and returned to the depths of the cave.

Then, he took out a fur blanket, laid it down next to the fire, and laid down. It didn't take long for him to fall into a deep sleep.

Physically, today's experiences hadn't been too draining. But mentally, fatigue was unavoidable.

Perhaps due to the pressure, Lu Yuan dreamt of struggling in the mountains and eventually becoming a mountain village king.

He secretly gathered strength in the mountains and finally, after decades, when the world was in chaos, he participated in the race for power and eventually unified the world, becoming the emperor.

He also dreamed of accidentally obtaining an immortal scripture, diligently cultivating it in Dayu Mountain, and after hundreds of years, he achieved great success in martial arts and ascended.

He dreamed that not long after he had traversed, he encountered a fierce tiger during a hunt in the mountains. The tiger opened its bloody maw and leaped towards him.

But just as the situation grew perilous, there was a sudden loud bang between heaven and earth, and the world before him shattered.

"Ah!"

Lu Yuan suddenly sat up from the ground, his body already soaked in sweat. The damp and slippery feeling from his skin, blown by the cold wind, immediately sobered him up.

A nightmare?

This realization emerged in his heart, but before he could settle down, a series of continuous banging sounds instantly attracted his attention.

Lu Yuan turned his head towards the source of the noise.

He saw that at the tunnel in front of him, the banging sounds were getting faster and more intense.

"Something is trying to break down the door!"

After a brief moment of shock, Lu Yuan quickly understood the situation.

With a gulp, he swallowed his saliva, fear rising in his heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As Lu Yuan grew frightened, the impacts continued, even accelerating.

"No, this can't go on. I don't know what's outside, but my wooden door, although sturdy, will eventually be broken if this continues."

Listening to the increasingly rapid impacts, Lu Yuan's heart trembled, but he eventually regained his senses and realized the gravity of his situation.

Looking at the dark tunnel, he felt as if a giant mouth was slowly approaching him, ready to swallow him whole.

But at this moment, there was no room for him to cower or retreat.

If he hid here motionlessly and waited for the door to break, he would surely die.

But if he went to defend it, death was not guaranteed.

After considering his options in his heart, Lu Yuan made up his mind, clenched his teeth, and went to the stone wall to grab a short knife and a set of bow and arrow that hung there.

With the weapons on his back and a torch in hand, he headed towards the wooden door of the tunnel.

"I want to see what kind of creature dares to trouble me at this late hour. If you wish to kill me, let's see if you have what it takes." As Lu Yuan walked through the tunnel, facing danger, his initial fear miraculously subsided after making up his mind, and a fierce determination welled up instead.

Before long, the wooden door was right in front of him.

Through the narrow gaps he left earlier, he looked outside at the weak light of the fire and saw several long, dark shadows continuously ramming against the door.

So it was these beasts causing trouble?

Seeing this, Lu Yuan understood and, without hesitation, drew his knife and rushed forward.

With a flick of the sharp blade, it penetrated through a gap in the door. A splat followed as warm liquid splattered onto his hand, giving off a fishy odor.

A wild yellow dog had collided with the protruding blade, and the weapon had ripped open a large wound at its waist. Its body hung in place, blood pouring out continuously.

The beast struggled in pain, emitting a harsh, hoarse cry. Its pair of green eyes shimmered with trepidation.

Watching it, Lu Yuan's hand slid down the knife handle, followed by a muffled thud. The wild yellow dog's waist was nearly severed in half, its body falling to the ground. Lu Yuan then withdrew the short knife.

Everything happened naturally.

At this moment, the memories of sixteen years of experience from his previous life became Lu Yuan's wealth.
