Strange mountains and rivers

After returning to Peach Blossom Island, Chen Huaisheng fell into a deep sleep.

Although cultivators are not so dependent on sleep due to their practice, it is still quite necessary to maintain two to three hours of sleep a day. Even a True Lord at the Purple Mansion level still needs two hours of sleep a day.

I originally thought that this trip to the Ice and Fire Lake should not have much risk, and it should even be more relaxing than going to the Ice and Fire Secret Realm. Who would have thought that it almost became a real adventure.

There were many evil insects, and even a "fire octopus" appeared, which was obviously several times more ferocious than the fire-scale evil maggots. Until now, Chen Huaisheng didn't know what that thing was called, so he could only subjectively name it "fire octopus".

Continuous critical strikes from thunder magic, and it was directly maxed out to the high level of thunder magic, skipping even the first few levels and directly using the third and fourth levels, instantly consuming all the stored spiritual energy.

In fact, Chen Huaisheng was a little scared later. If they encountered a monster like the "flame octopus" blocking their way, it would be unknown whether he and Yan Yunxing could escape.

Fortunately, I managed to escape and got a few pieces of Red Sun Fire Rock, so the mission was accomplished.

After waking up, feeling refreshed, Chen Huaisheng didn't even want to get up. He just lay in bed, enjoying the rare freedom and relaxation.

After Yan Yunxing came back, he went to report to Yan Chixing about what happened in the Ice and Fire Lake.

New monster insects appeared, and their power was far stronger than the known monster insects. It was not certain whether this was an accidental appearance, or whether the earth dragon was shaken during the peak tide and the fire-scale monster insect was killed by itself, which detonated the monster insects, causing the cliff to be impacted and the two new monster insects took the opportunity to escape from the crack.

Chen Huaisheng felt that the latter possibility might be more likely. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the monks of the Holy Fire Sect on Peach Blossom Island, those at a higher level, had almost all been to the Ice and Fire Lake, and not just once or twice over the years, so they had never seen such a thing?

But for Chen Huaisheng, this is not something he cares about.

With Yan Chixing here, even if the "Fire Octopus" comes to Peach Blossom Island, Yan Chixing can kill it, and Qu Chan and Qin Zhaoye can also resist a little.

Now all he needs to do is stay in Peach Blossom Island peacefully, waiting for Yu Fengqian to give birth. After the baby is born, he will have to stay for two more months at most, and he will leave when the baby is a little older. As for whether Yu Fengqian will leave or not, Chen Huaisheng and Yu Fengqian are still a little conflicted and have not made up their minds.

It is very likely that Yu Fengqian will not leave for the time being, and will wait until the child is about one year old, and then bring him back to Dahuaishan to live for a while. At that time, he will decide where to live permanently.

"Not awake yet?" came a voice from outside the house.

"Let him sleep a little longer. I don't know why this trip to the Ice and Fire Lake was so tiring. His spiritual energy was completely depleted when he came back. He hasn't been able to fully recover after such a long time on the boat. I heard that Master Xiaoyan also went home to sleep for two days."

One is Yu Fengqian's voice, the other is Tong Tong.

The two of them were talking in whispers, and Chen Huaisheng was too lazy to eavesdrop, so he just lay on the bed and daydreamed.

I don’t know how long it took, but Chen Huaisheng fell asleep again. When he woke up again, he found that it had darkened outside again.

Then he stood up, adjusted his breathing, and felt that he had recovered.

After standing up and stretching his body, feeling the majestic and surging Yuan force, Chen Huaisheng walked out the door.

He still had to pay a visit to Yan Chixing. After all, he was the first person, apart from the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect, to reach the Ice and Fire Island and enter the Ice and Fire Lake. He also obtained the Earth Yang Fire Rock, which was a rare and generous gift.

Yan Chixia was also very happy about Chen Huaisheng's visit. He was a man of affection, righteousness, and courtesy. The only regret for such a promising young man was that he was not a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect.

But if he marries a disciple of the Holy Fire Sect, he would be considered half a member of the Holy Fire Sect.

Although the Holy Fire Sect has not yet formed an alliance with Dahuaishan, Yan Chixia, Qu Chan, Yao Yunjun and others have different opinions. They do not think that Dahuaishan will face any challenges in the next few years. Instead, they are worried that they have missed this opportunity to form an alliance. Once Dahuaishan develops, or the Holy Fire Sect encounters any difficulties, it would be embarrassing to take the initiative to form an alliance with Dahuaishan.

However, this was a matter decided within the sect, and even if he was the sect leader, he couldn't overturn it. He could only wait and see.

However, although the sects cannot form an alliance, the personal feelings between the two sides can be strengthened, which is why he specially arranged for Yan Yunxing to accompany the group.

However, he did not expect that this trip to the Ice and Fire Lake would have so many twists and turns. In particular, the appearance of the Golden Flame Nine-whiskered Insect, which is what Chen Huaisheng called the "Flame Octopus", still shocked Yan Chixing.

This kind of fire-attributed monster is already a top-grade third-order monster, comparable to a fire-mane lion. In a sense, the fire-mane lion is more powerful, but the golden-flame nine-whiskered worm is more powerful.

In other words, the Fire Mane Lion's lethality may not be as good as the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Worm, but its defense and escape abilities are stronger than the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Worm. The Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Worm is easier to kill, but its lethality is stronger than the Fire Mane Lion.

"Yun Xing specifically told me about the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Worm. The Fire Scale Demon Maggot and the Cold Aphid Moth are nothing. As long as you are prepared, the Purple Mansion True Lord can kill them. But the Golden Flame Nine-Bearded Worm is different. Ask yourself, except for me, even Qu Chan and Zhao Ye from the Holy Fire Sect would have to spend some effort to deal with it. I didn't expect you to be able to kill it in one fell swoop. Yun Xing said that your magic combat power is super strong, and it seems to be true."

There was a hint of amusement in Yan Chixing's eyes: "Your thunder technique has already reached a very high level. Have you made any breakthroughs since you entered the middle stage of Soul Condensation?"

Chen Huaisheng did not hide it. "I have made a small breakthrough. I have to thank the Sect Master for his kindness. Since I came to Peach Blossom Island, I have never lacked various spiritual materials. I have also been treated well by the secret realm. Therefore, the progress of my practice in this month is better than that in the Dahuai Mountain for half a year. My junior sisters and disciples also have this feeling. There is indeed a difference between the spiritual power in the sea and the spiritual power in the mountain. Moreover, this sudden change of environment and external changes can greatly stimulate the induction of the Taoist practice and speed up its progress. We feel this particularly..."

"Oh?" Yan Chixing was somewhat interested.

He could understand the meaning of Chen Huaisheng's words, but this kind of exchange of spiritual lands for cultivation was extremely rare between sects, and even between allies was unlikely. And a stay of two or three days would not yield any results. As Chen Huaisheng said, it would probably take one or two months or even longer to experience the results.
