The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 109: Light Rain at the Peak of the Violet Cauldron….



During his first month on Violet Cauldron Peak, Bai Xiaochun worked quietly in the immortal cave. None of the surrounding disciples even noticed that he was there. Big Zhang Fatty started to relax. At first, she had come to visit Bai Xiaochun often enough to watch him at his concocting job, but ended up stopping visiting so often.


But then ... Another month passed.


Bai Xiaochun's eyes glittered as he looked at the medicinal pill in front of him. After a few detailed examinations, he started laughing out loud. During that month of work, he had made four major attempts to try to find a new method to clean up the dirt, and now, he had finally found his new direction.


“Using lightning to clear pills with outside power is one method. But another method was to clear the spirit medicine from within!


"Bai Xiaochun, you are truly a genius. Ha ha! I know exactly what I have to do. By using the principle of mutual augmentation and suppression, I can create a burning power even when I make pills, something that will remove impurities. Once the impurities were removed, the final medicinal pill would no longer be poisonous! " Growing excited, he took a deep breath and began to work.


After arranging all the medicinal herbs and then starting to put them into the pill furnace, he began to add more plants that were not part of the pill formula, keeping careful records of everything he did.


Four days later, he once again slipped into a confused focus. Rotating continuously around the pill furnace, he occasionally made adjustments to the earthflame, sometimes adding other spirit medicines, following his instinct to dissolve or strengthen the mixture.


As night fell, Bai Xiaochun's excitement grew as voices began to ring from the pill furnace. Immediately, the furnace began to tremble, and then dangerous black smoke billowed. Bai Xiaochun quickly waved his sleeve to blow smoke outside the immortal cave, where it soared into the air. Some of it was finally absorbed by the clouds above Violet Cauldron Peak, and some were carried by the wind towards the Green Crest Peak.


After the immortal cave was cleared of smoke, Bai Xiaochun rushed into the pill furnace and peered inside. It contained a single medicinal pill that he took and examined. Clearly it was a poisonous pill; however, while the previous version was a hundred percent impure, this one was only around ninety-eight or ninety-nine percent impure.


He was quite happy, and now convinced that he was on the right track. All he had to do was continue working towards a method to find the perfect combination of elements.


"Ha ha ha! This method of concocting is much simpler. There is no lightning. No thunder I don't affect others at all! " He's very happy. After all, he really did not want to arouse the anger of the other disciples due to the concocting work.


Feeling very satisfied, he sat cross-legged to meditate for a while. After finishing his daily work with the Mammoth Dragon Shaping Scripture, the Eternal Life Technique, and the Waterswamp Kingdom, he headed to the pill furnace to start concocting again.


He devoted himself entirely to his work. Every day, he would make four or five piles, and each time, black smoke would billow, which he would then remove from the immortal cave, where the smoke rose into the sky.


Ten days later, he was happy to find that while out of every ten batches, four were poison pills, his impurity levels continued to decline. Lately, they have slumped to around ninety-seven percent. It was clearly a reduction from the previous level of one hundred percent.


That's not the only progress he's made. Pills that come out successfully also have less impurities. If he continued down this path, he would be able to consistently produce grade-3 spirit medicines.


With blazing eyes, he had completely dived into the outside world and went insane by concocting medicine. It was like being in a secluded meditation. He kept careful records, and constantly made adjustments as needed. Soon, he increased his productivity to the point where he was producing seven or eight batches per day. Black smoke rose into the sky almost constantly. Half a month later, he was happy to find that the impurity level in the poison pill had dropped to ninety-five percent.


By the time Bai Xiaochun had already been at Violet Cauldron Peak for two months, many of the disciples on Fragrant Cloud Peak had started to breathe a sigh of relief. They were not sure where exactly Bai Xiaochun had gone, but they could sense that peace had been restored.


Other than Big Fatty Zhang, no one else on the Violet Cauldron Peak knew that Bai Xiaochun had come there to concoct medicine. However, word had spread about all the things that had happened at Fragrant Cloud Peak because of him. When Big Fatty Zhang heard more about those stories, he started to tremble.


He could never imagine that Bai Xiaochun could cause such a huge stir in Fragrant Cloud Peak. Although he was a little nervous, Bai Xiaochun was very quiet, and did not attract any attention at all. Slowly, Big Fatty Zhang began to relax again.


Time pass. At this point, Bai Xiaochun had been at the concocting grounds for three consecutive months. Black smoke continued to pour out from the immortal cave, to the point where it finally began to attract the attention of the nearby Peak Violet Cauldron disciples. However, none of them thought about it.


Big Fatty Zhang was calmer than before. However, he had noticed something annoying lately, namely starting to descend on the Violet Cauldron Peak. It was a very strange rain, considering it had only fallen on Violet Cauldron Peak, and nowhere else.


Furthermore, the rain is dirty; if it falls on you, it will leave dark lines behind. Slowly, the other disciples on Violet Cauldron Peak started to notice, and people began to wonder what was really going on. As for Bai Xiaochun, he madly focused on concocting pills …. At this point, he reached about fifteen batches per day.


He almost never rested, and started to look a bit pale and skinny. As for the poisonous pill, its impurity level continued to decrease. They are now about ninety-two to ninety-three percent.


“Just a few more months, and I will be able to get a toxicity level below ninety percent. Then they would be counted as low-tier spirit medicines! " With a shout of excitement, Bai Xiaochun immersed himself further in concocting. Meanwhile, an uproar was building up outside.


Zhang Fatty Great was walking on one of the streets that passed the Violet Cauldron Peak when suddenly, the rain started to fall even harder than before. At the same time, a pungent smell began to fill the air. Then, Big Fatty Zhang's eyes widened when he realized that the rain that fell on it was really painful. Next, his clothes ... began to melt.


Big Fatty Zhang gaped in shock, then let out a startled cry when he realized that it was only a moment before his clothes completely melted. He immediately ran back towards his residence.


Along the way, more alarm cries sounded. As he ran, Big Fatty Zhang saw the other Peak Violet Cauldron disciples speeding away, their clothes shattered. The more rainwater soaks them, the more the cloth melts. There were even some unlucky disciples who were already completely naked.


"Paradise! What .... what happened!?!? "


"My book!!"


"Damn it! Even the magical shield could not stop him! " The peak of the Violet Cauldron was truly in an uproar. Anyone who does not immediately come out of the rain will soon find their clothes melting from their bodies.


The Violet Cauldron Peak began to turn into chaos. Even some of the Inner Sect disciples who had long since gone mad. Throughout their lives, they had never experienced anything like this. The screams of the female disciples were extremely sharp.


The Violet Cauldron Peak elders stared in shock. There were even some elders who were outside the lecture on magical techniques. When it rains on them, they tremble ….


At the same time, many people looked to Bai Xiaochun's immortal cave, where a mass of black smoke was billowing. As it rose into the sky, the dangerous black rain fell even harder.


There was one particular Inner Sect disciple who did his best to cover his clothes. Feeling worried, he flew together until coincidentally met with a cloud of black smoke.


Instantly, his clothes were lost …. Letting out a scream of alarm, he unleashed the power of lightning, and was immediately circled with electricity. Moments later, he put on a new robe, only to discover that it had already melted away.


"What the hell is going on? Whoever is in that immortal cave, get out of here! " The Inner Sect disciple ... was none other than Lu Tianlei.


When others noticed the source of the problem, they began to roar furiously.


"Damn it! It came from there! I know something's wrong. No one had stayed in that immortal cave before, but over the past few months I have seen black smoke coming out of it! "


“Black smoke is what caused this disaster! It's been up in the air for months now. It affects the climate! That's why this acid rain is falling !! "


As the people bellowed furiously, Big Fatty Zhang hid in his residence, staring blankly at what was happening outside. His mind revolved as he looked at the raindrops falling, and suddenly, he understood how the disciples at Fragrant Cloud Peak used to feel….


At the top of the mountain, the Violet Cauldron Peak's peak ruler, Xu Meixiang, looked around in astonishment. Not daring to set foot outside his house, he waved his finger at the sky, activating the Violet Cauldron Peak spell formation. A shield of light appeared, which temporarily stopped the rain from falling into the mountain.


However, the shield was seen being eaten by the destructive rain.


The Violet Cauldron Peak disciples took advantage of the short rest period to put on new clothes. Enraged, and exploding with killing intent, they rushed towards Bai Xiaochun's immortal cave.


Immediately, the disciples at Fragrant Cloud Peak noticed that the shield of the Violet Cauldron Peak spell formation had been activated, and noticed that rain was falling on it.


"What happened at Violet Cauldron Peak?"


Even as they pondered the situation, the voices of countless individuals merged together to cause an earth-shaking and earth-shaking roar of rage to appear from the direction of the Peak of the Violet Cauldron.


"May. The xiao's. CHUN !! ”


The voice echoed in all directions, even shaking the Violet Cauldron Peak by itself. The disciples from Fragrant Cloud Peak looked around, shaken. Then, the image of a certain person appeared in their mind, and they understood everything.


"Bai Xiaochun went to the Violet Cauldron Peak to concoct medicine!"


“That's the obvious reason. The peak ruler said he could not make medicine here, so he went to the Violet Cauldron Peak !! "


The roar of the Violet Cauldron Peak disciples made Bai Xiaochun scream in fear. He was just about to excitedly start another batch when he heard the sound of countless magical techniques hitting the immortal cave. Gaping in shock, he looked out to see hordes of angry disciples surrounding the cave.


Lu Tianlei was there, electricity danced around him as he advanced forward.


Wings emerged from Bai Xiaochun's frightened back, and he flew over. Angry cries echoed behind him as the Violet Cauldron Peak disciples chased after.


Big Fatty Zhang watched from a distance, gulped and quickly pretended as if he had not seen anything. Under no circumstances did he want anyone to know that it was he who arranged for Bai Xiaochun to obtain the immortal cave.


Even when the Violet Cauldron Peak disciples started chasing Bai Xiaochun, all of a sudden….


The alarm sounds from the direction of the peak
