"Your dao companion is pregnant?"
At this, Zhao Feng looked at Wang Ba with considerable delight.
"Congratulations, junior brother."
But at this sudden news, Wang Ba felt both astonished joy and utter bewilderment.

For one thing, their previous circumstances had not allowed it. For another, during the Qi Refining stage, cultivators often needed to refine essence into Qi. This essence was kidney essence-the essence of reproduction.

And once they passed the Qi Refining Realm, the three origins merged into one, with kidney essence also blending into that whole, making it extremely difficult to separate.
Even if it could be separated, it contained very little innate primordial yang, and the chance of conception was vanishingly small.
