However… Bai Xiaochun had truly gone mad. Two hours later, clouds filled the sky, and this time, nearly a hundred lightning bolts descended onto Fragrant Cloud Peak.
Booms rang out in all directions, and even more disciples looked up into the sky, shocked to the core. People ran back into their residences, unwilling to even set foot outside. Li Qinghou and the elders were struck speechless.
The sight of nearly a hundred lightning bolts crashing down into various areas of Fragrant Cloud Peak was completely shocking. Perhaps because Zhou Xinqi’s immortal’s cave was so close to Bai Xiaochun’s, it ended up being struck by about six or seven of them. Her entire immortal’s cave shook violently, and the spell formation shield distorted visibly.
Things weren’t over, though. After enough time passed for half an incense stick to burn, everyone was thrown into a commotion again as more clouds appeared in the sky. This time, hundreds of lightning bolts could be seen forming.
When they slammed down onto Fragrant Cloud Peak, all of the immortal’s caves trembled, and many other areas were badly damaged. Bai Xiaochun’s cave was almost destroyed.
Even more shocking… Zhou Xinqi’s cave attracted over fifty bolts of lightning. They slammed into the cave over and over again like Heavenly Tribulation, breaking open the cave itself until Zhou Xinqi tumbled out.
Her face pale, she fled off into the distance. Looking back at the flattened rubble that had been her immortal’s cave, she screamed, “Bai Xiaochun!!”
There were a few other Inner Sect disciples who met similar fates. Their immortal’s caves destroyed, they stormed over toward Bai Xiaochun’s immortal’s cave, vowing to settle accounts immediately, no matter what happened…. However, in that same moment, clouds roiled up above, even thicker than before, and an intense pressure weighed down on everything below. Zhou Xinqi’s heart began to pound, and her face fell. The disciples who had come to pick a fight with Bai Xiaochun gasped and began to shake visibly.
Even the peak lords of Violet Cauldron Peak and Green Crest Peak noticed the clouds, and their eyes went wide. Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong saw it from afar, and his scalp began to tingle.
Shockingly, over a thousand lightning bolts could be seen within the clouds!!
“Th-that… that will destroy Fragrant Cloud Peak!!”
“Bai Xiaochun!!”
“Heavens! What is he doing over there? I can’t believe… I can’t believe there are so many lightning bolts!!”
“We’re under attack! We’re under attack!!” Countless cries of shock and alarm rose up in and around Fragrant Cloud Peak.
Everyone from Outer to Inner Sect disciples were trembling as an intense fear filled them.
Bai Xiaochun had tuned everything out, and didn’t even realize what was happening. Eyes crimson, he stared at the pill furnace for a moment, then bellowed and slapped it with both hands.
“Lightning Detox Grand Magic!”

108: Big Fatty Zhang, Loyal Friend
Even Li Qinghou gasped in response to what was happening. Having no time to actually dispel the lightning, he quickly performed an incantation gesture and waved his finger toward the sky. In response, a resplendent, multi-colored shield sprang into existence above Fragrant Cloud Peak.
At the same time, the more than one thousand lightning bolts began to descend from the clouds. Their target was Fragrant Cloud Peak, but the shield blocked their progress. Massive rumbling sounds echoed out, and ripples spread out across the shield as it began to neutralize the lightning bolts.
After thirty breaths of time, the final lightning bolt was neutralized, and the multi-colored shield faded away. The disciples of Fragrant Cloud Peak were left trembling, the intense feeling of danger still lingering in their hearts. After a moment, they turned with bloodshot eyes to look in the direction of Bai Xiaochun’s cave.
“Bai Xiaochun!!” countless disciples howled. It was hard to say who made the first move, but soon, a huge mob was rushing toward his immortal’s cave. Elders joined the crowd, and even Li Qinghou flew in the same direction in a bright beam of light.
Within his crumbling immortal’s cave, Bai Xiaochun was staring anxiously at the pill furnace, surprised that no lightning had come. Distracted, he suddenly realized that a deafening rumble could be heard outside, a sound which far exceeded the thunder from earlier.
Face draining of blood, he leaped to his feet, which was when he realized that the immortal’s cave was on the verge of collapsing. Without another moment of hesitation, he ran outside. Moments later, the rumbling caused by countless running people pushed the immortal’s cave past the point where it could hold together, and it collapsed.
Bai Xiaochun gaped mutely as the dust billowed out in all directions. That was when he realized that he was surrounded by a sea of furious Fragrant Cloud Peak disciples.
“That–”
Before he could begin his explanation, Zhou Xinqi’s shrill cry pierced through the crowd. “Bai Xiaochun, you owe me an immortal’s cave!!”
“Take Bai Xiaochun down!!”
“Dammit! You destroyed my immortal’s cave!!”
“This is over the top! You weren’t really concocting medicine, were you? First were the exploding pill furnaces, then all those weird animals, and finally this lightning. Y-y-you….” The crowd was completely enraged after having been tormented for two years in a row by Bai Xiaochun….
Bai Xiaochun felt more wronged than ever, considering that he really had been concocting pills. But then he noticed that Zhou Xinqi’s immortal’s cave had been reduced to rubble, and suddenly felt an apologetic twinge in his heart.
Hou Xiaomei and Hou Yunfei were there in the crowd, but even they looked a bit helpless. Hou Xiaomei looked over at Bai Xiaochun, gritted her teeth, and was just about to start defending him to the crowd when Hou Yunfei fearfully clamped his hand over her mouth. It was a delicate moment, given how incensed the crowd was….
The disciples of Fragrant Cloud Peak had all determined that letting Bai Xiaochun continue to concoct pills was unacceptable. As long as he was working at pill concocting, none of them would feel safe. When they thought about what had just occurred with the lightning, their shouts of fury grew even more intense.
Even as the crowd teetered on the version of losing control, the elders arrived, along with Li Qinghou. The disciples instantly quieted down, looking over woefully at Li Qinghou, clearly imploring him to take action.
Li Qinghou felt a huge headache coming on as he glared at Bai Xiaochun. Inciting lightning wasn’t something that was incredibly difficult to do. Lightning was a yang element, so the only thing one had to do was provoke the proper transformations in plants and vegetation to create a yang aura, and thus attract lightning. However, even Li Qinghou was shocked by the sheer amount of lightning that had descended. Furthermore, Li Qinghou was also fairly certain that the exaggerated nature of the event had something to do with Fragrant Cloud Peak itself, which fundamentally possessed a yin aura.
Of course, the ordinary disciples wouldn’t know that, and thus wouldn’t know that Bai Xiaochun had only been one instigating factor.
Bai Xiaochun truly felt sorry for everyone, but also felt that he was getting the short end of the stick. Lacking any other options, he simply look anxiously at Li Qinghou.
With a slight shake of his head, Li Qinghou said, “Bai Xiaochun, from here on out, you’re not allowed to concoct medicine on Fragrant Cloud Peak. Leave the mountain to do any concocting!”
The disciples started to get excited at Li Qinghou’s brilliance.
“Yeah! Leave the mountain to do your concocting. Stay away from Fragrant Cloud Peak!”
“Go concoct medicine anywhere except near us!!”
“That’s right! If you keep concocting medicine the way you have been, you’re going to destroy Fragrant Cloud Peak! There’s nothing strange about being asked to leave!!”
