"?????"
"Where is this? Why is it pitch-black all around? Reaching out..."
After regaining consciousness from being hit by a massive truck, Xiao Yan tried hard to open his eyes, only to find that he simply could not.
Even his body seemed to have developed a problem.
He felt unprecedentedly weak, as though he had returned to the fetal stage, completely unable to reach out or open his eyes.
The only thing Xiao Yan could sense was that he was currently submerged in warm water.
Just as Xiao Yan was wondering what exactly had happened to him, a mechanical voice abruptly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully transmigrating. The Max-Level Comprehension System has been bound.]
"Successfully transmigrated?" Xiao Yan murmured, his heart instantly roiling with stormy waves.
He had not expected that getting hit by a truck had really sent him to another world!
And he had even become a fetus.
At that moment, a conversation among several people outside confirmed it for Xiao Yan.
"Young Master, rest assured. Young Madam is in perfect health. I will prescribe several pregnancy-stabilizing remedies for Young Madam, and the little young master will certainly be born healthy."
Xiao Zhan let out a sigh of relief and thanked the old man. "I'll have to trouble you, Han Lao."
"Young Master is too polite." The old man smiled faintly and began writing out the prescription in earnest.
Having already given birth to two sons, Qin Yueyao was quite experienced. Her jade-like hand gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. "There was nothing wrong to begin with. This little fellow is just a bit too mischievous."
Xiao Zhan smiled. "It's better to be careful."
Now that he understood his situation, Xiao Yan calmed down and began studying this so-called Max-Level Comprehension System.
After a few minutes of understanding it, Xiao Yan discovered that this thing was extremely simple.
It had no flashy functions. It merely raised his comprehension to the maximum level.
"What can max-level comprehension do?"
Xiao Yan murmured, unable to help thinking that the fetal stage seemed to contain innate qi.
If he could make good use of this stage, then no matter what he did in the future, he would far surpass ordinary people.
As he pondered this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt as though he had grasped something after only a moment, though it was still unclear.
A powerful wave of drowsiness swept over him, and Xiao Yan did not force himself to stay awake.
After all, he was currently a fetus and needed rest to grow.
He did not know how long he slept. When he awoke again, refreshed and full of energy, Xiao Yan finally understood the power of his system.
It did not require him to complete any tasks. It simply elevated his comprehension to an outrageously heaven-defying level.
Even something that a genius would need ten years to learn might take him only a day, or perhaps even less.
And if he deliberately wanted to comprehend something, then something a genius might spend decades or even centuries painstakingly researching could perhaps take him only a few months, or even a few days.
After a sound sleep, Xiao Yan felt that he had gained a relatively clear idea of how to use innate qi.
For the next half month or so, whenever Xiao Yan woke up, he would contemplate the use of innate qi. Whenever he became tired, he would sleep.
Repeating this cycle, Xiao Yan finally achieved a concrete result.
[With your exceptional soul power, you sensed your own innate fetal breath state. You experienced an epiphany and created the Innate Fetal Breath Art!]
Xiao Yan had not expected the system to be so intelligent. He truly had comprehended a cultivation technique suitable for fetal cultivation.
He simply had not yet given it a suitable name.
[Innate Fetal Breath Art: Using a trace of one's innate qi as a guide, it absorbs and transforms nutrients supplied by the mother to strengthen one's physique and improve one's foundation and aptitude.] [Note: Can only be cultivated by fetuses.]
Having completed his epiphany of the cultivation technique, Xiao Yan immediately began cultivating the Innate Fetal Breath Art.
Since this technique was meant for fetal cultivation, after practicing it once, it began operating automatically.
Xiao Yan could then continuously enjoy the benefits of cultivation.
As innate qi circulated without end, Xiao Yan felt countless strands of gentle energy flow into his body.
As this gentle energy entered him, Xiao Yan could sense that his strength had increased slightly and that his body was undergoing subtle growth.
After experiencing these benefits, Xiao Yan, who had been comprehending for half a month straight, decided to give himself a break and sleep peacefully.
Yet throughout this process, the Innate Fetal Breath Art continued operating automatically, requiring no effort from Xiao Yan at all.
More than a month later.
"Madam, your appetite has been increasing far too quickly recently. Could something be wrong?"
Watching his wife continue eating after already consuming the equivalent of two adult men's meals, Xiao Zhan could not help feeling worried.
Xiao Zhan was not worrying without reason. His wife's appetite was simply frighteningly good.
At every meal, she ate enough for an adult man to eat over three days, and these were carefully prepared delicacies from the Xiao Clan's kitchens, not coarse grain buns.
More importantly, after eating so much, aside from her pregnant belly growing larger, she had not gained any weight at all.
Qin Yueyao took a sip of tea. Her face was filled with maternal love as she replied with a soft laugh, "This time, I had Han Lao examine me. He said there was no problem. The child's constitution is simply extraordinary, and he even told me to eat more."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan nodded slightly and relaxed a little.
Han Lao was highly accomplished in medicine and was a famous physician in Wutan City. Unfortunately, he lacked the aptitude to become an alchemist. Otherwise, he would surely have become an alchemist whom even the City Lord would not dare slight.
Hearing the couple's conversation, Xiao Yan smiled faintly.
This situation would no longer be necessary in the future.
[You further deduced the Innate Fetal Breath Art. After many days of cultivation and research, you experienced an epiphany and created Version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art!] [Version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art: Using a trace of one's innate qi as a guide, it absorbs and refines the energy of heaven and earth through the mother into Dou Qi, strengthening one's physique and improving one's foundation and aptitude. At the same time, as Dou Qi circulates through her body, the mother can also enjoy an effect similar to cleansing the meridians and marrow, greatly improving her foundation, aptitude, and physique!] [Note: Can only be cultivated by fetuses.]
After looking over Version 2.0 of the Innate Fetal Breath Art once more, a delighted smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
This time, it had taken him more than a month.
Xiao Yan had originally planned to sleep until he was born.
However, the place where he lived was simply too boring.
Moreover, because he cultivated the Innate Fetal Breath Art, his mother in this world had to eat enormous amounts of food every day to compensate for the technique's consumption.
Xiao Yan felt rather embarrassed about this.
The cultivation of the Innate Fetal Breath Art drew upon the mother's energy.
Bored to begin with, he started upgrading the Innate Fetal Breath Art himself.
The first issue that needed to be resolved was preventing the technique from drawing upon the mother's energy and instead allowing it to absorb and refine the energy of heaven and earth through her body.
That way, the technique's cultivation would be supplied by the energy of heaven and earth, and his mother would no longer need to eat huge amounts of food.
Second, it would be best if his mother could also receive some benefits, improving her aptitude and physique.
Although such improvements would show almost no effect after a day or two, given enough time, they would surely bring about a transformation akin to being reborn.
