Before setting off, Li Xiao also checked the distribution of volcanoes, but he did not dare to go to those active volcanoes and dormant volcanoes. After all, he had never been in contact with these things. Who knew whether they would suddenly erupt with such force.

Moreover, he gave up on those very famous volcanic scenic spots just after thinking about them.

Although it is more likely to find fire crystals in large volcanic scenic spots, since they are famous scenic spots, there are many tourists, which makes it more difficult to find fire crystals in the volcanoes.

Li Xiao's purpose was to find a relatively small, unknown extinct volcano.

Huoquan Town, Rong City, is rich in geothermal hot springs, and there are also volcanic craters in the surrounding mountains.

Eight days after leaving Linshan City, Li Xiao came to this town. This was not something he had inquired about in advance. That is, when he first drove into Rong City, he accidentally asked for directions and was told that this town was

There was an extinct volcano on the mountain, so he drove directly to Huoquan Town.

Although Huoquan Town is just a small town with a permanent population of only a few thousand people, it has prospered due to the existence of geothermal hot springs and the city's vigorous development.

As soon as you enter Huoquan Town, you will see a street that goes straight from north to south. There are various hot spring baths and hot spring hotels on both sides. Although the tallest building is only three stories high, it extends to the end of the street.

There are also many restaurants and handicraft shops scattered around. There is an endless stream of tourists coming here to soak in the hot springs on the street. Some of the vendors are carrying or holding bamboo baskets with snacks or drinks, or some handicrafts.

The small items made are tirelessly sold to passers-by.

There are many tourists here every day, and the locals are used to seeing luxury cars, so Li Xiao didn't attract much attention when he drove into the town.

After spending a hundred yuan to park the car in a specially built parking lot in the town, Li Xiao took Baihualai onto the street, hoping to ask the locals where there was an abandoned volcano crater.

"Young man, would you like a bottle of drink? Five yuan a bottle." A woman carrying a basket of mineral water stopped Li Xiao and said enthusiastically.

"Does it have to be so expensive?" Li Xiao was speechless. Mineral water only costs one or two yuan here. If you sell it for three yuan, you can make a lot of money. But it is so shameless to sell it for five yuan, and the packaging is so shoddy. It's really

Dao Dao doesn’t dare to go to the Consumer Association to sue you, right?

"Young man, you don't understand this! This water is our specialty mineral spring in Huoquan Town. It contains many minerals that are beneficial to the human body. You can't buy them elsewhere!" The woman said and took out a bottle.

Pointing to the trademark above, he said:

"Look, there are anti-counterfeiting signs and the words Huoquan Town here. They are definitely unique to this town!"

When I looked down, I saw a label on the plastic bottle. It said "Huoquan Town Mineral Water" in large letters, and the words "anti-counterfeiting must be investigated". There was nothing else. It was really a three-no product.

They didn't even know how this was produced. How could Li Xiao dare to buy it? Then he said with a black look on his face: "No, we are not thirsty yet."

The woman seemed to be used to this kind of situation, so she left Li Xiao without any further delay, turned around and started selling to other passers-by.

Li Xiao took Baihuadiai and turned into a non-staple food store. When he saw another middle-aged woman inside, he wondered where all the men here had gone. How could it be that only women were doing business?

"What do you want?" The landlady raised her eyes and said.

"Uh~ Sister, we don't want to buy anything, we just want to ask where is the crater?" Li Xiao asked.

"Buy a pack of cigarettes and I'll tell you!" the landlady said calmly, as if she had done this kind of thing many times.

Hearing this, Li Xiao was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, I don't know how to smoke!"

"I didn't ask you to smoke it yourself after I bought it. Why don't you be polite to everyone you meet?" said the landlady.

"Uh, okay! Just give me two packs." Li Xiao thought that was the case, so he decided to buy two packs to be prepared.

Without asking Li Xiao what brand he wanted, the landlady took two packs of Yuxi from the shelf, threw them on the counter, and said, "Sixty yuan!"

Li Xiao knew nothing about the price of tobacco and had no doubts about it, so he was ready to pay the bill. After handing a 100-yuan note to the landlady, Li Xiao saw serious mineral water on the shelf and asked again.

Said: "Give me two more bottles of mineral water!"

The proprietress who was looking for change didn't say anything, and turned around to get the Huoquan Town mineral water from the shelf.

Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately said: "It's not that kind, just two bottles of ordinary ones!"

Hearing Li Xiao's words, the landlady turned her hand and took out two bottles of mineral water that could be seen everywhere outside. She said: "One bottle is ten yuan, including two packs of cigarettes, the total is eighty. These are the two bottles for you."

Ten dollars.”

"Uh~ Sister, is the consumption level here so high?" Li Xiao asked depressedly, looking at the change in his hand.

"It's not bad! Why do you ask this?" the landlady said casually.

What do you mean it's okay! You're stupid to be a Taoist! You dare to sell a broken bottle of mineral water for ten yuan a bottle. What's the difference between this and a black shop?

I don’t know if this is how things are sold here, but now that the money was paid, and there were still things to ask, Li Xiao didn’t argue with him about the hundred or so yuan, and immediately collected the money.

Asked: "Sister, can you tell me this time where the crater is?"

"Go out and follow the road south. There are many craters on the mountain, and there are road signs outside!" the landlady said neatly.

"That's not what I'm asking about, it's about the abandoned volcano crater that has not been developed!" Hearing the words of the proprietress, Li Xiao's face darkened. There were such obvious road signs outside. Master Dao was not blind. If he went to that mountain, Master Dao would still be there.

Is it necessary to send it to your door and ask you to kill it before going back?

"Then I don't know! You can ask someone else," the landlady said.

"You~!" Li Xiao was furious, but since he was new to a place, he couldn't get into conflicts with the locals, so he swallowed his words and secretly said, "Tough luck!" before picking up cigarettes and mineral water and leaving the shop.

.

Walking on the street with the flowers, Li Xiao asked several locals back and forth, but the result was disappointing. Apart from the volcanic area that was developed into a scenic spot, these locals didn't know where else to go.

After walking up and down the street several times without getting any clear answers, seeing that it was getting dark, Li Xiao took Baihua to a restaurant and casually ordered a few side dishes and two bowls of rice.

, and started eating.

And this seemingly simple meal actually cost more than two hundred yuan. Suffocating his stomach, Li Xiao walked out of the restaurant with a dark face, muttering uncertainly: "These damn black shops are really bad."

If the Nimagai volcano erupts again, I will let you deceive people again!"

Then he found a hotel, and after booking two rooms next to each other, Li Xiao walked up and down angrily.

Arriving in the room, Li Xiao continued to curse in a low voice.

After walking into the room, Baihua saw Li Xiao's angry look and couldn't help but chuckled: "Master, why are you so angry? They are just external things! Besides, if you really don't like the vendors here, then wait until night

If it gets too deep, just get rid of them all!"

"Uh~ Are you encouraging me to slaughter the town? They are just small profiteers, there is no need to make such a big fuss, right?" Li Xiao said weakly, being startled by Baihua's bold idea.

"Isn't this because you are angry, Master!" Baihua said casually.

"Um~ It's okay, I just feel so upright and can't bear to be tricked by such an honest person. I'll be fine in a while!" Li Xiao said.

"Then what should we do next?" Baihua asked.

"Have a rest for a while, then go for a walk and see if you can find anyone who knows about the abandoned crater!" Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

After resting in the room for a while, Li Xiao took Baihua onto the street again.

The streets throughout the town were bustling with people, but Li Xiao was not in the mood. He wanted to find the crater as soon as possible. After all, even if he found the crater, he might not be able to find the fire crystal.

Don’t waste too much time here!

After grabbing several people to ask questions, they didn't get the response they wanted. Feeling a little depressed, Li Xiao prepared to return to the hotel.

But not far away, the sound from a stall attracted Li Xiao.

"Girl, within half a year, you can find the right man and marry into a wealthy family. From then on, you will have no worries about food and clothing. However, there will be many twists and turns in the process, which may hinder your marriage!"

Hearing these words, Li Xiao suddenly had a strange smile on his face, and then walked towards the roadside stall.

When I walked in, I saw about ten people surrounding it. A yellow cloth was spread on the ground in the middle, with Bagua pictures drawn on it, and some folded paper signs neatly placed. There was a man in a Chinese tunic suit behind the stall. It was late at night.

An old man wearing sunglasses.

At this time, there was a woman in her twenties standing in front of the yellow cloth. She asked anxiously: "Is there any way to crack it?"

"There is a way, but you need to discuss it with Mr. Yue in the sky. You also know that people nowadays have to give gifts first for anything. Please go and ask Mr. Yue not to leave empty-handed!" said the old man.

He said in a leisurely manner.

"I have two hundred dollars here, have you seen enough?" The woman immediately took out two hundred dollars and said.

After taking the two hundred yuan, the old man touched it back and forth, as if to verify whether it was a counterfeit bill. Then he collected the money and said, "This money is not for me. How do I know if it is enough? But

I guess Yue Lao won’t care too much, I’m sure you can do this!”

These are superstitions in the first place, but it is not uncommon for fortune tellers to set up stalls in various places, and there are still some people who believe in such nonsense. Although Li Xiao also tells people about peach blossom fortunes, but he has a peach blossom expert to teach people, so it is not a lie.
