698. Strange Flame
From a distance, the hot spring mountains were shrouded in thick mist, and countless mountains appeared and looked pretty good.
When you get close, you will find that the hot spring mountains are filled with rich water energy, and there are also pungent smells released after the burning of sulfur.
If you feel it carefully, you will find that there seems to be strong fire energy fluctuations in the hot spring mountains.
Shortly after entering this mountain range, Li Hao heard more than a dozen explosions, and occasionally he could sense the violent trembling of the mountains.
‘This place is quite special, water and fire are present, the two are completely different in attributes and are very strong, so they often conflict with energy, explode and shake the sky and the earth.’
‘Although there are countless hot springs here, the monks have no time to take a bath, and the hot springs cannot make the monks feel so comfortable. The environment here is so strange and uneasy, so there are not many monks in the hot spring mountains.’
Sister Gu introduced while taking everyone to fly into the mountains.
‘But you can rest assured that there are no dangers except for the frequent explosions and vibrations. There are some ferocious beasts and birds of prey inside, but their cultivation is below the saints and there is no threat to everyone.’
As he was speaking, a big bird flapped his wings and rushed over. Sister Gu waved her hand and fired a star-glorious fire, and then killed it on the spot.
After walking for nearly ten days, Sister Gu stopped and said, "This place has reached the depths of the mountains, and there is a cave over there. Let's go and take a look."
‘I don’t like this place.’ Li Ni said poutingly.
The other children nodded and agreed.
Like when he went to the cave last time, Li Hao ignored the children's complaints.
The cave is also steaming, and the pungent smell is stronger.
The children were all unhappy, and their mothers were all frowning.
At this time, Li Hao was also a little depressed. As a man, he could not let his wife and children have a stable and comfortable home, which was really incompetent.
But this was a helpless choice after all. When Xin'er was angry, she slaughtered the Yun family. When everyone rushed out of the Hulu City with great force, everyone felt very happy, but they were not mentally prepared to bear the serious consequences for that cheerfulness.
This family still has too strong psychological advantages and too many senses of superiority. They always feel that although the world is big, no one can bully them. They should also live a wealthy courtyard that is respected by everyone.
The cave is winding and twists and turns, with countless forks, like a maze.
After walking for two more hours, Sister Gu finally stopped. Pointing to a relatively spacious underground cave, he said: "Let's settle here first. Although the environment here is not good, at least it is quiet and safe. Few monks are willing to come to the hot spring mountains, and it is even more difficult for anyone to find this place. As for the environment, after all, you can use formations and restrictions to improve it. Anyway, it's not a long-term stay, so everyone will just do it."
Although the children were unhappy, their mothers were not ignorant. Naturally, no one raised any objections.
Now that Li Hao and his family are busy, they only took less than an hour to change the simple cave.
The caves and secret passages in this cave were successively sealed by restrictions and formations, and some simple furniture was added to the cave. Some of the flowers and plants transplanted from the cave looked very warm.
After settling everyone down, Sister Gu took Xin'er out to find the treasure again, but before leaving, Sister Gu promised not to leave too far this time. If something happened here, they would rush back to support as soon as possible.
The formations and restrictions arranged by Li Hao and Sister Gu are not much different from the protective ban formation in the cave. They can also resist the joint attacks of several saints and masters for more than a hundred years, which is safe and stable.
Now the wealth accumulated by this family is rich enough, not only enough for everyone to cultivate to the realm of a saint, but even there is no need to worry about practicing in the realm of a saint. Li Hao did not intend to let Xin'er go out to take risks anymore, but firstly, Xiner is willing to go out to find more opportunities, and secondly, he is not willing to give up Sister Gu's face, so he can only remind them to be careful and not to stop him.
After Xin'er and Sister Gu left, Li Hao arranged the array map or magic array that gathered the energy of Yueyang, and entered a state of cultivation with his wife, friends and children.
Although cultivation is boring, if you don’t practice and improve your strength, how can you face the wanted arrest of Nanxing Pavilion?
Even if there is no wanted one from Nanxing Pavilion, who can guarantee that this great monk will not offend other masters in the future?
If you want to be truly comfortable and worry-free, you must have strong enough strength.
When the mysterious formation diagram of the moonlight gathers and the magic array of the yang attribute energy is activated, Li Hao was surprised to find that there are moonlight and masculine energy present at the same time, both day and night. Unlike other places, only moonlight can only have masculine energy during the day, this alone can double his cultivation speed.
‘How could this happen?’ Li Hao was very puzzled.
He knew that whether it was the Nine Yang or September, the energy they poured in during the day or at night was definitely impossible to be absorbed by creatures in the immortal world, but the remaining ones either formed yang crystals or moon crystals, or sank into the sea or land of the immortal world, and would not remain on the surface or on the sea surface at all.
But this hot spring mountain range is very different.
Li Hao did not immediately enter the state of cultivation. He had to find a strange situation in the Hot Spring Mountains to be relieved.
So, after explaining to Miling and Zi Luo, Li Hao left the temporarily living cave alone and investigated around the Hot Spring Mountains alone.
It took about half a year to turn around the large mountain range near the cave, and finally gained something.
Through this period of investigation, he could already see that the reason why the hot spring mountains have rich moon-yang energy at all times is not because the special environment here can retain the energy released by Nine Yang or September, but that the moon-yang energy hidden deep underground is constantly gushing out here.
As for where the energy came from and how it came from, Li Hao has not yet figured out, but these are not important.
He returned to the cave and finally could practice with peace of mind.
While using the array diagram and magic array to accelerate the refining of true fire, Li Hao also sacrificed and refined the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, which was quite fulfilling.
Hundreds of years passed in a flash, and Sister Gu and Xiner did not come back. But the accident came again.
This time, it was not the restriction and formation of strong enemies attacking the cave, but the two groups of flames of different colors that flew to the edge of the cave for some reason.
The two flames are shining white, and the other is dark black. The shining white is extremely hot, and the dark black releases a stream of strange cold that can freeze time and space. They fly around the cave, bringing extremely rich energy from the two moon and yang, and the two energy types collide wildly. The explosions are constantly creating, and there are also powerful energy shock waves.
Fortunately, the forbidden array around the cave has a strong defense, blocking all the energy shock waves outside, but the cave is constantly shaking violently, not only does it be difficult for everyone to enter the state of cultivation, but they are also very worried.
In desperation, Li Hao gritted his teeth and left the cave, wanting to see what happened to the two flames.
It was dangerous to come out like this, but what he didn't expect was that as soon as he came out, he only looked at the two flames. The two flames were like frightened little rabbits, and their bodies shook and they fled along a cave.
The two balls of flames escaped extremely quickly. After chasing for a while, Li Hao lost his target and had to return to the cave.
Two balls of flames escaped, and the rich two-type energy around the cave was naturally absorbed by the array diagram and magic array, and the surrounding area of the cave returned to peace.
But it was just less than a hundred years of calm. The two flames flew over again and still circled around the cave.
Li Hao came out again, and the two balls of flames fled again.
Li Hao returned to the cave and had not been a stable life for a hundred years. The two flames came again without getting tired of it, so he had to go out again...
In this way, Li Hao and his family were very depressed and annoyed, but they had no choice but to do anything.
Zi Luo suggested changing places. Anyway, with the skills of Sister Gu and Xiner, as long as everyone does not move too far, they will definitely be able to find it easily.
Li Hao agreed to Zi Luo's suggestion. He first found a suitable place to settle down and arranged the ban and formation before he took everyone over.
But before the new home had a stable life of hundreds of years, the two strange flames came to the door again.
‘It seems that as long as you are still in this hot spring mountain range, those two guys can easily find us!’ Zi Luo said.
‘Since that’s the case, it’s better to go back to the original cave. At least there is a forbidden array arranged by Sister Gu, which is much safer than here. Moreover, after Sister Gu and Xiner come back, they don’t have to worry about looking for us anymore.’ Huang Qian'er said.
So, everyone went back.
'But this is not a solution. Those two guys always come to harass us. How can we practice in a depressed manner?' Huang Yanyan said depressedly.
‘I guess the reason why those two guys came was because they were attracted by their husband’s formation map and magic circle.’ Huang Qian'er said.
‘Stop the array diagram and magic array for a while first.’ Zi Luo suggested.
Li Hao followed Zi Luo's advice and no longer used the array diagram and magic array. After more than two hundred years of vagueness, he was not invaded by those two strange balls of flames again.
But quiet is quiet, but the practice cannot be accelerated.
‘I have an idea!’
Huang Qian'er said: "My husband can set up a few more array maps and magic circles in other places to seduce the two guys, so they will not come to invade us again."
‘Good idea!’
Li Hao's eyes lit up, he happily hugged Huang Qian'er's pretty face and kissed her, then left the cave and went to find a suitable place to draw pictures and arrange the formation.
As Huang Qian'er said, the two flames were really attracted by the array map and magic array. Li Hao activated the array map and magic array in his cave, but never attracted them again.
This idea has achieved very good results.
In order to ensure that this place will not be disturbed, Li Hao would go out to see the array diagrams and magic arrays he had arranged every once in a while.
The two flames would escape immediately after seeing Li Hao, but Li Hao also discovered that the array diagrams and magic circles he arranged had been destroyed several places.
After careful inspection, he found that the array diagram and magic array were not directly destroyed by powerful forces, but were more like they gradually collapsed because they had suffered too much energy impact for a long time, and the energy that impacted them was gathered together by them.
