" Xiao Tian, we'll let the Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Body Punishment go." The First Elder suppressed his inner turmoil and said coldly, "The four of us have discovered that there is indeed a faint life force within the clan leader's body, which is expected to take shape within three years."
"Huh?" Xiao Tian exclaimed, wide-eyed. "Three years pregnant! Is she going to give birth to Nezha?!"
"Who is Nezha?" Queen Medusa frowned.
The First Elder said coldly, " Xiao Tian, our Snake-People Tribe is different from the Human Clan. Our gestation period is a bit longer, but it's still possible to give birth in one or two years. Considering the strength of the Clan Chief's bloodline, this is a crucial matter for our Snake-People Tribe."
"Back when the clan leader was still in his mother's womb, he needed countless elixirs and miraculous medicines to nourish him. After being born through a secret method, his potential was even more terrifying. According to our clan, this secret method is divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior."
Xiao Tian interrupted, "Enough said, my child will definitely be nourished with the best secret methods!"
The First Elder's gaze softened slightly, and he said coldly, "The superior secret technique requires refining a Seventh-Tier pill, the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, which can maximize the potential of the infant within the clan leader's body. Its future achievements are immeasurable. However, the refining of this pill is accompanied by a pill tribulation, making it difficult to refine. Even some rare and precious materials are hard to gather together."
Xiao Tian coughed and said, "Grandma, don't worry. This Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill is the one. I'll deliver it within a year."
The elder's gaze softened further as he said, "If it can be delivered within a year, that would be best. But I hope you're not lying; otherwise, our Snake-People Tribe will have no choice but to use the entire clan's resources to nurture our patriarch's infant using a mid-level secret method."
"Don't worry, I, Xiao Tian, keep my word. My child absolutely cannot lose at the starting line! No matter how hard life is, I can't let my child suffer!" Xiao Tian's tone was firm. In his previous life, he was a loser with no background and no ability. But things are different now. Backed by the Immortal Heavenly Dao System, as the inheritor of Deva Path Heavenly Dao, he has all sorts of cheat codes. If he can't even get his hands on Seventh-Tier pill like the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, what's the point of playing? He might as well delete his account and go into seclusion.
" Cai Lin, take good care of yourself and avoid strenuous combat. It would be terrible if you miscarried." Xiao Tian couldn't help but grab Cai Lin's slender hand and give her his advice.
Cai Lin coldly retorted, "The physique of the Snake-People Tribe isn't even as delicate as that of the Human Clan women."
"Uh." Xiao Tian chuckled awkwardly and looked at the Four Great Elders, saying, "Time is of the essence. Give me the formula for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill."
"Alright." The four elders nodded.
After obtaining the formula for the Seventh-Tier Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, Xiao Tian wanted to continue spending time with Cai Lin, but Cai Lin quickly slipped away, using the excuse of recuperating.
Xiao Tian realized that he would have to rob several major powers to obtain the materials needed for the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill.
"The main ingredients require Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Mystic Heavenly Azure Vine, Bone Spirit Fruit, and the essence blood of seventh-tier or higher magical beasts, along with seventy-three other auxiliary ingredients. My god, this is indeed quite difficult."
After leaving the Snake-People Tribe Temple, Xiao Tian returned to the Jia Lan Academy once his innate Teleport ability had finished its cooldown.
Xiao Tian remembered that at the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, deep within the magma, there was an underground world where the best resources could be obtained.
As Xiao Tian swaggered into the Inner Academy, Elder Su Qian quickly approached him.
"Why are you back again, kid? You're so mysterious, appearing and disappearing like a ghost." Great Elder Su Qian was quite surprised.
Xiao Tian chuckled and said, "I'm back this time to go on an adventure. Elder, you go ahead and do your own thing."
"Adventure?" Great Elder Su Qian's face darkened. "Last time you two brothers went on an adventure, you almost died at the bottom of the tower. Whose tears are you trying to make now?"
"Uh..." Xiao Tian looked embarrassed.
