"Don't worry, the child is fine." Liu Changfei patted her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she took out several Spirit-Recovery Pills and gave them to Song Zhizhi.

The Spirit-Recovery Pills dissolved into a warm current the moment they entered her mouth, flowing into Song Zhizhi's dantian. She felt the spiritual power within her dantian become full again, no longer draining toward the child.

The child was fine.

The pallor of her face eased slightly, and the stone in her heart finally dropped into her stomach. Looking at Liu Changfei, she asked, "What happened to me just now?"

Liu Changfei took her pulse again and asked, "Just now, did you feel the spiritual power in your body go out of control? Did your meridians ache and swell as it kept gathering in your dantian?"

Song Zhizhi nodded. She remembered how the child had continuously absorbed the spiritual power within her just now. "Is there something wrong with the child?"

Other than the child, Song Zhizhi could not think of any other possibility. While waiting for Liu Changfei to arrive, she had thought of many things.

She feared that delaying and refusing to seek Xie Xiuji to transfer spiritual power had harmed the child. She also feared that something had happened to her instead—perhaps she had gone astray in cultivation—and dragged the child down with her.

Perhaps she should not have thought of delaying until there was nowhere left to hide before confessing to Xie Xiuji. She should have told him earlier. Even if Xie Xiuji did not like the child and refused to transfer spiritual power, she could still find someone else.

Song Zhizhi felt a lingering fear. She was afraid that the child had truly suffered because of her negligence. That was something she could not accept.

Liu Changfei looked at Song Zhizhi, nodded, then shook her head. "The child is fine. You're the one about to reach Foundation Establishment."

Hearing that the child was fine, the heart Song Zhizhi had been holding in her throat finally settled. But the latter half of Liu Changfei's words left her stunned. She carefully sensed her cultivation, her brows knitting slightly. "Foundation Establishment? How is that possible? I'm only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. Shouldn't I first reach Qi Refining Great Perfection, then cultivate a technique before I can establish my foundation?"

Although she had cultivated diligently during this time and had already touched the barrier of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, she had not truly broken through to Qi Refining Great Perfection yet. How could she skip that step and directly reach Foundation Establishment?

Foundation Establishment in this world was different from the novels Song Zhizhi usually read. Here, having sufficient cultivation alone was not enough to establish one's foundation. One had to possess a cultivation technique. Without a technique to guide them, Foundation Establishment was simply impossible.

That was also why the great sects of the Cultivation World held such transcendent status. These sects controlled ninety percent of the Foundation Establishment techniques in the Cultivation World. With those techniques, they gathered countless geniuses beneath their banners, forming a virtuous cycle.

Liu Changfei had not studied with the elders of her clan in Medicine King City for very long. Her talent in medical cultivation was limited, so she could not give Song Zhizhi a clear answer to these questions.

"Your spiritual power went out of control just now, and a massive amount of it poured into your body. Your meridians and dantian were widened by that spiritual power to a degree nearly comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator's. Those are all signs of Foundation Establishment."

"I wouldn't be mistaken. Your abnormal condition just now truly happened because you were about to reach Foundation Establishment. Perhaps you will skip Qi Refining Great Perfection and directly establish your foundation. It may be related to the child in your belly."

After turning it over in her mind, Liu Changfei felt that this was the only possibility. Perhaps the child's talent was simply too high, and the mother had also been affected, crossing over Qi Refining Great Perfection to directly establish her foundation. After all, this was the cultivation world. Anything was possible.

"Then I am now..." Song Zhizhi could feel that her cultivation had not changed and that she was still at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, but the spiritual power in her dantian was indeed much more condensed than before.

"That's what I wanted to tell you, Zhizhi." Liu Changfei's expression abruptly turned solemn. "I checked just now and found that the fetus in your belly has grown a little more. This child's talent is too high, and the spiritual power he needs to grow is increasing. When you advance, the spiritual power in your body is at its most abundant. He has never had enough spiritual power to nourish him, so when you advance, he instinctively plunders the spiritual energy you need for your breakthrough, causing your advancement to fail."

"Zhizhi, your spiritual power is already almost insufficient to support the child. Finding someone to transfer spiritual power to you is now an urgent matter. You cannot put it off any longer. If you cannot find the child's father, I can introduce you to a few Fire Spirit Root cultivators to tide you over for now."

Find several Fire Spirit Root cultivators to transfer spiritual power to her? Xie Xiuji came to Clear Snow Peak every day. How was that any different from directly confessing to Xie Xiuji?

Song Zhizhi shook her head and politely declined Liu Changfei's suggestion. But she knew this matter truly could not be delayed any longer. Rather than finding someone else to temporarily transfer spiritual power to her, it would be better to confess directly to Xie Xiuji.

Song Zhizhi did not want to go through that heart-in-throat terror again. She had figured it out. If she confessed to Xie Xiuji and he could accept the child, that would be best. If he could not, then they would part ways with one clean break, and she would find someone else to transfer spiritual power to her.

Song Miaomiao also had an Ice Spirit Root. Song Zhizhi could swallow her pride and beg Song Miaomiao. One way or another, she would be able to safely give birth to the child.

The expression on Song Zhizhi's face gradually became resolute.

Only, how should she begin telling Xie Xiuji about this?

Was she supposed to say directly to Xie Xiuji: Yes, we have a child?

Song Zhizhi felt that being so direct might be too much of a shock for Xie Xiuji. She should put it more tactfully and strive to make him accept the child.

How should she say it? She might need someone to give her some advice.

Song Zhizhi looked at Liu Changfei, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Feifei, actually, the child's father is in the sect. He still doesn't know the child exists, and I'm not sure whether he'll accept this child, so I haven't told him."

Liu Changfei:?

Liu Changfei ran through the several Inner Sect Disciples who had entered the sect alongside them.

Fang Zheng? Kong Xing? Or Pei Yuqing?

No, those men all had Dual Spirit Roots and ordinary talent. Based on the odds of inheritance, the child in Zhizhi's belly possessed extraordinary talent. Then the child's father could not possibly have Dual Spirit Roots. He had to be a Single Spirit Root cultivator like Song Zhizhi—perhaps even a genius with a Mutated Spiritual Root and a special physique.

There were not many male Single Spirit Root cultivators in the Sword Sect's inner sect to begin with, and among those who had Single Spirit Roots and special physiques...

Liu Changfei instantly thought of someone. After thinking it over, only one person fit those conditions—a Mutated Ice Spiritual Root and an Innate Dao Body, perfectly matching her guess.
