The inside of the cave was also steaming, and the pungent smell was even stronger.
The children were all very unhappy, and their mothers were all frowning.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu was also a little depressed. As a man, he actually couldn't let his wife and children have a stable and comfortable home. He was really a little incompetent.
However, this was still a helpless choice. When Ling 'er had slaughtered the Yun Clan in a fit of rage, everyone had charged out of Gourd City with incomparable strength. Everyone had felt very refreshed, but they hadn't been mentally prepared to bear the serious consequences of that refreshment.
This family's mentality was still too strong, and they had too much of a sense of superiority. They always felt that although the world was big, no one could bully them, and that they ought to live the life of a wealthy family that was respected by everyone.
The cave twisted and turned, and there were countless forks. It was like a maze.
After walking for a full four hours, Big Sister Gu finally stopped. She pointed to a relatively spacious underground cave and said, "Let's settle down here first. Don't look at the environment here. At least it's quiet and safe. Usually, there are very few cultivators who are willing to come to the Hot Springs Mountain Range, and it's even harder for anyone to find this place. As for the environment, after all, we can use formations and restrictions to improve it. In any case, we won't be staying here for long. Everyone, make do with it. "
Although the children were unhappy, their mothers weren't unreasonable people. Naturally, no one raised any objections.
Immediately, Xiao Lingyu and his family began to get busy. In less than two hours, this simple cave had changed its appearance.
The caves and secret passages that connected to this cave were sealed off by restrictions and formations. There were also some simple furniture in the cave, and there were also some flowers and plants that had been moved over from the Immortal's Cave as decorations. It looked very cozy.
After everyone was settled, Big Sister Gu brought Ling 'er out to search for treasure again. However, before they left, Big Sister Gu promised that this time, they wouldn't go too far. If anything happened here, they would rush back as soon as possible to provide support.
The array and restriction set up by Xiao Lingyu and Big Sister Gu was not much weaker than the protective array around the cave. It could similarly withstand the combined attacks of multiple Star Realm experts for over a hundred years. It could be considered safe and stable.
By now, the family had accumulated enough wealth. Not only was it enough for everyone to cultivate to the Extreme Astral Realm, they didn't even have to worry about cultivating to the Extreme Astral Realm. Xiao Lingyu originally didn't plan on letting Ling'Er go out and take risks. However, firstly, Ling'Er was willing to go out and look for opportunities. Secondly, he didn't want to disregard Big Sister Gu. Thus, he could only warn them to be extremely careful and not to stop them.
After Ling 'er and Big Sister Gu left, Xiao Lingyu set up the array diagram or Dharma Array to gather the Luna energy and entered a state of cultivation with his wife, friends, and children.
Although cultivation was boring, if he did not cultivate and raise his strength, how could he face the Southern Star Pavilion's bounty?
Even without the Southern Star Pavilion's bounty, who could guarantee that this large family of cultivators wouldn't provoke other experts in the future?
If he wanted to truly live a carefree life, he had to have enough strength.
When the profound array diagram to gather the Luna energy and the Yang energy Dharma Array began to operate, Xiao Lingyu was pleasantly surprised to find that regardless of whether it was day or night, the Luna and Yang energy existed at the same time. It wasn't like other places that only had the Luna at night and the Yang energy during the day. Just this point alone could double his cultivation speed.
"How can there be such a situation?" Xiao Lingyu was extremely puzzled.
He knew that regardless of whether it was the Nine Suns or the Nine Moons, the energy they cast down during the day or night would definitely not be completely absorbed by the creatures in the Realm of Immortals. However, the remaining energy would either be used to form Yang Crystals or Moon Crystals, or sink into the depths of the Realm of Immortals' ocean or land. It wouldn't remain on the surface of the ocean or sea.
However, this Hot Spring Mountain Range was completely different.
Xiao Lingyu didn't immediately enter the state of cultivation. He had to figure out the reason for the strange situation in the Hot Spring Mountain Range before he could feel at ease.
Therefore, after giving some instructions to Mi Ling and Miao Ying, Xiao Lingyu left the cave he was temporarily staying in and went around the Hot Spring Mountain Range to investigate.
It took about half a year's time for Xiao Lingyu to explore the large mountain range near the temporary cave and finally had some harvest.
Through this period of investigation, he could already see that the reason why the Hot Spring Mountain Range was always rich with Luna energy was not because the special environment here could retain the energy cast by the Nine Suns or the Nine Moons, but because the Luna energy hidden deep underground was constantly spewing out here.
As for where the energy came from and how it came out, Xiao Lingyu still couldn't figure it out, but these were not important.
Now that he was back in the cave, he could finally cultivate in peace.
While using the array diagram and array to speed up the refining of the Chaotic Nirvana True Fire, Xiao Lingyu was also refining the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram, which could be considered to be fulfilling.
In a flash, hundreds of years had passed. Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er had not returned, but an accident happened again.
This time, it was not a strong enemy attacking the cave's restriction and array, but two balls of flames of different colors that flew to the side of the cave for some reason.
One of the two balls of flames was bright white, and the other was dark black. The bright white ball was incomparably hot, and the dark black ball was releasing a strange cold that could freeze time and space. They flew around the cave, bringing with them extremely rich Luna and Luna energies. Moreover, the two energies collided crazily, constantly creating bursts of explosions and powerful energy shockwaves.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the restriction array around the cave was extremely strong, blocking all the energy shockwaves outside. However, the cave was constantly shaking violently. Not only was it difficult for everyone to enter the state of cultivation, but they were also very worried.
Helpless, Xiao Lingyu braced himself and went out of the cave. He wanted to see what was going on with the two balls of flames.
Originally, it was very dangerous to come out like this. However, he did not expect that as soon as he came out, he only took one look at the two balls of flames. The two balls of flames were like frightened little rabbits, their bodies swayed and fled along a path in the cave.
The two balls of flames fled at an extremely fast speed. After chasing for a while, Xiao Lingyu lost his target and could only return to the cave.
The two balls of flames fled, and the rich two-element energies around the cave were naturally quickly absorbed by the array diagram and array diagram. The cave's surroundings returned to normal.
However, less than a hundred years of peace, the two balls of flames flew over again and circled around the cave.
Xiao Lingyu came out again, and the two balls of flames fled again.
Xiao Lingyu returned to the cave for less than a hundred years of peace, and the two balls of flames actually came again. He could only go out again …
This repeated over and over again. Xiao Lingyu and his family were very depressed and annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Anya suggested that they change their location. After all, with Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er's abilities, as long as they did not move too far away, they would definitely be able to find them easily.
Xiao Lingyu agreed with Anya's suggestion. He first looked for a suitable place to settle down, and after setting up the restriction array and array, he brought everyone over.
However, before they could live a hundred years of peace in their new home, the two balls of flames came again.
"It seems that as long as we are still in this hot spring mountain range, those two guys can easily find us!" Miao Yingyan said.
"If that's the case, why don't we return to the original cave? At least there's a restriction array set up by Big Sister Gu. It's much safer than here. Also, when Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er come back, they won't have to waste time looking for us," Jiang Lanchang said.
Thus, everyone returned to their cave.
"But we can't go on like this. Those two guys keep coming to disturb us. How can we focus on cultivating?" Jiang Lanyue said gloomily.
"I'm guessing that those two guys came because they were attracted by our husband's formation and array," Jiang Lanchang said.
"Let's stop using the formation and array for a while and take a look at it," Anya suggested.
Xiao Lingyu listened to Anya's suggestion and stopped using the formation and array. In the blink of an eye, two hundred years had passed. They were no longer disturbed by the two balls of flames.
However, even though it was quiet, they could not speed up their cultivation.
"I have an idea!"
Jiang Lanchang said, "Husband, you can set up a few more formations and array in other places to lure those two guys over. That way, they won't bother us anymore."
"Good idea!"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes lit up. He happily hugged Jiang Lanyue and kissed her on the cheek. Then, he left the cave to find a suitable place to set up the formation.
Just as Jiang Lanchang said, the two flames were indeed attracted to another place by the formation diagram and the magic formation. Xiao Lingyu then activated the formation diagram and the magic formation in his cave, but they didn't attract them again.
Jiang Lanchang's idea was very effective.
In order to ensure that this place would not be disturbed, Xiao Lingyu would go out every once in a while to check on the formation and array he had set up.
The two balls of flames would immediately run away when they saw Xiao Lingyu. However, Xiao Lingyu also discovered that a few of the formations and arrays he had set up had been damaged.
After careful inspection, he discovered that the formations and arrays were not directly destroyed by force. Instead, it was more like they were gradually collapsing due to the impact of too much energy over a long period of time. Moreover, the energy that attacked them was gathered by the balls of flames themselves.
From this, it could be inferred that the two balls of flames would not destroy the formations and arrays. It seemed that they intended to use these formations and arrays to cultivate.
Xiao Lingyu felt that something was strange. He was not sure what the two balls of flames were thinking. Would they always hide from him? Would they deal with his family after they became stronger? However, at least they were very obedient right now. Moreover, his family would not be living here for a long time, so he did not think too much about it.
During this period, he had tried many times to catch up to the two balls of flames or find out where they were hiding. However, because they were much faster than him, he was unable to do so.
After another thousand years, when Miling reached the Soul Nirvana Realm with the help of endless resources, Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er finally returned.
However, compared to the calmness they had when they returned from treasure hunting in the past, Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er were in a sorry state this time. Big Sister Gu's face was even pale. It was obvious that she had suffered heavy injuries.
