Once the resources were arranged within arm's reach, the naked fatty gave a tired sigh and sat down on the ground. He took one of the jugs of fortified spirit wine and took a gulp. A dense hot almost burning sensation made its way to his lower dantian area and he had to actively suppress the huge amount of qi there. He took a few more large gulps of the fortified qi infused spirit wine and finished half a jug of the fortified spirit wine before he felt like his dantian was on the verge of explosion.

Fang Hao then picked up a couple of Foundation Establishment pills, placed them under his tongue and grabbed a couple of the pills in each of his hands clenching them for later use. The spirit stones he had arranged nearby had also increased the density of Qi in his surroundings and he felt a bit more Qi entering him with each breath, even though he wasn't actively absorbing energy from the spirit stones.

Fang Hao was standing, taking deep breaths as he fixed on the contemplation image of the Primal thunder scripture. The contemplation image of the Primal Thunder Scripture was powerful blue thunderbolts raining from the heavens and condensing into a skyscraper-like pillar. Fang Hao periodically drank some fortified spirit wine as he etched the contemplation image before continuing cultivation.

He then mentally chanted the mnemonics associated with the Primal Thunder Scripture as he swallowed one of the Foundation Establishment pills under his tongue. He felt a cool stream reaching his dantian and a huge upsurge in his Qi as he continued cultivating with the contemplation image and mnemonic chants. Soon he felt the huge amount of extra Qi in his dantian condense into what seemed like storm clouds above the Qi Lake in his dantian.

When Fang Hao had just broke through into the Qi Condensation stage, he just had a single drop of liquefied Qi in his dantian. Now at the peak of Qi Condensation, the liquefied Qi pooled into a large lake in his dantian. Actually, calling it a lake was bit of an understatement, but ti wasn't large enough to be an ocean of Qi yet.

While the pressure was building, there wasn't enough momentum to initiate the establishment of his foundation. Fang Hao took advantage of the pseudo-equilibrium to swallow another of the Foundation Establishment Pill which was under his tongue. He then placed another two foundation establishment pills under his tongue from his right hand. He replaced the foundation establishment pills in his hand from the last two remaining foundation establishment pills form the jade cover.

By now he was also regularly sipping fortified spirit wine and had finished a jug of it. Out of the original twelve pills (four dissolved in the wine), he had swallowed two pills and finished one jug (along with two pills dissolved in it). He was left with two foundation establishment pills in each of his hands, two foundation establishment pills under his tongue and another jug of spirit wine which was fortified with two foundation establishment pills.

After consuming an equivalent of four foundation establishment pills, he finally felt the the thunder clouds above the Qi Lake in his dantian shooting out thunderbolts. The thunderbolts didn't disperse when they stuck the Qi lake, but instead started crystallizing into a translucent electric blue solid. As the thunderbolts started to pick up momentum in his dantian, Fang Hao had outstretched arms as he was rotating anticlockwise.

As he rotated anticlockwise, the thunderclouds above his Qi Lake were compressing and there was a whirlpool in his Qi Lake. The size and frequency of the thunderbolts raining down on his Qi Lake had reduced, but each thunderbolt was more substantial with more energy. Fang Hao swallowed the two Foundation Establishment pills under his tongue while he continued spinning in a pulsing tempo, sometimes slowing, sometimes speeding.

The sudden surge of Qi in his dantian made him feel a dull phantom ache in his dantian. But as the storm cloud above his Qi lake absorbed the Qi, the pressure in his dantian eased and the frequency and size of the thunderbolts striking his Qi Lake increased causing further crystallization in his Qi Lake. Soon Fang Hao was entranced with the transformation in his Qi Lake and had lost awareness of his surroundings. He kept on rotating in a seemingly erratic tempo and his heartbeat was synchronizing with the tempo of rotations. Whenever the intensity of the thunderbolts striking his Qi Lake reduced, he popped a Foundation Establishment pill in his mouth and swallowed it.

Fang Hao was deeply immersed in his cultivation and had lost awareness of his surroundings. But his surroundings weren't tranquil like he had began. A dark blue, almost black, storm cloud had manifested above his courtyard with him as the center. Initially the storm cloud wasn't noticeable; but as Fang Hao kept cultivating, the size of the cloud increased and its color changed to wards a deep electric blue. Flashes of almost indigo thunderbolts could be seen falling towards a particular courtyard where a drunk fatty was swirling like a top, occasionally making dance like half-steps.

By the time nearby disciples noticed and reported it to the Overseer of the Inner Disciple peak, it was near dawn and the electric blue storm clouds had turned a shade of indigo and expanded to cover a few dozen courtyards obscuring the morning sky. In a few hours, there was a semi-permanent camp of spectators near the inner disciple in question and no core-disciple dared to fly in the area. A majority of the formations of the inner disciple residents had dispersed due to the discharge from the thunderbolts and the residents had to take refuge somewhere else.

By noon, an Elder appeared and ordered everyone to evacuate the Inner disciple peak until further notice as there was a hiccup with the formations. While the statement didn't convince anyone, no one dared to oppose the lofty Elder. If an Elder said it was a hiccup with the formations, and not a mystical manifestation of thunder and lightning; it was clearly a hiccup with the formations contrary to all the signs indicating otherwise.
