Several hours later, a formless ripple suddenly burst outwards from the center of Lin Feng's brow.
But it quickly crashed into the thick stone walls surrounding the alchemy room.
Though his soul power had already reached an impressive level, it was still blocked by the precious, specially crafted stone bricks.
"Hehe, my current soul power… has probably already reached the peak level of a sixth-tier alchemist," Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, which carried a trace of excitement, and said with a smile.
Before he retrained his cultivation, he had already been a low sixth-tier alchemist.
Through this recent period of training, his soul power had risen to the mid sixth-tier level.
Now, with the help of nearly a thousand souls, he was directly pushed to the peak of sixth-tier.
It was only after experiencing the enhancement personally that he truly understood—
Why the rumors said that if an alchemist could choose any Heavenly Flame beyond the top ten on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, they would always choose Falling Heart Flame.
After all, soul power was simply far too important to an alchemist.
Even if you were a completely untalented alchemist—
As long as you were lucky enough to obtain a Falling Heart Flame…
Then, as long as you kept collecting souls and refining them to strengthen yourself,
Decades later, even within the Pill Tower, there would be very few who could match your alchemy rank at the same age.
"What a pity. I've only collected this much during all this time."
Having tasted the benefits, Lin Feng began to crave more souls.
Previously, Yao Tianhuo had mentioned—
He had collected tens of thousands of souls in Central Plains. After refining and absorbing them, he had managed to break through into the Spirit Realm in one go.
But with the quality of Lin Feng's current soul base, if he wanted to step into the Spirit Realm, the number he'd need might have to be several times that amount.
Shaking his head, Lin Feng tossed aside those messy thoughts.
He stored the jade bottles and medicinal cauldrons on the ground into his storage ring, then walked out of the room.
"Sasha, is this true?"
In the bedroom that night, after hearing Medusa's words, Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, his pitch-black pupils stared unblinkingly at her perfectly flat, flawless stomach.
"What would be the point in lying to you about something like this?"
Hearing his slightly disbelieving tone, Medusa responded irritably.
Then, her beautiful eyes turned to Lin Feng, her jade-like hand clenching into a small fist. "You bastard, don't tell me you just want the pleasure but don't want the responsibility?"
"Sasha, we've been together for years now. Don't you know me by now? It's just… this is my first time becoming a father, so I'm a bit nervous, alright?"
Sensing her emotionally sensitive state due to the pregnancy, Lin Feng smiled awkwardly as he spoke, pulling her soft and delicate body into his lap, gently stroking her slender waist.
Seeing his attitude, Medusa nodded in satisfaction and quietly lay in his arms.
These past few days while she had been cultivating, she kept feeling that something was off with her body.
After repeatedly failing to figure it out, she finally used a secret technique passed down by the Snake-People Clan to carefully examine every part of her body.
The result shocked her.
She had actually found a faint trace of a small life growing in her lower abdomen.
If not for the help of her clan's secret method, she definitely wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.
At that moment, she had been just like a panicked little girl, completely unsure of how to deal with what was happening.
After quite some time, once she had collected herself, she went to inform Lin Feng of the situation.
Lying in Lin Feng's arms for a while, Medusa suddenly seemed to recall something.
She turned her head slightly and said to him, "Oh right, Lin Feng. Our Snake-People Clan is different from you humans.
When a child of the Medusa bloodline is still within the mother's womb, they need to be nourished by countless spiritual pills and elixirs. This way, once the child is born, not only will their strength be formidable, but their potential will also be extremely terrifying."
Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately remembered that the original story did mention something like this. He asked, "Then what should we do?"
Medusa explained, "According to the clan's secret arts, the nourishment of Medusa-line children is divided into three tiers: high, middle, and low. The potential of the child varies based on the tier of the secret art used.
A child nourished by a low-tier secret art will likely never break past the Dou Huang level unless they encounter a heaven-defying opportunity.
Those nourished with the middle-tier secret art can potentially reach the Dou Zong level. As for the high-tier secret art, it gives the child a chance to step into the legendary Dou Zun realm!"
"As the father, you must contribute to our unborn child."
Without waiting for Lin Feng to reply, Medusa continued, "When I was still in the womb, the Snake-People Clan paid a massive price, using up almost all of their hidden resources just to invite a sixth-tier alchemist.
After a great deal of effort, they barely managed to refine the main catalyst needed for the middle-tier secret art—a sixth-tier pill: Snake Marrow Bone Shedding Pill. And now that you are also a sixth-tier alchemist, the secret art our child receives must not be of a lower level. If it is… then you'd better be prepared to die!"
"Sasha, don't worry. As the father, of course I'll find a way to ensure our child receives the best secret art nourishment available. What exactly does your highest-tier secret art require?"
Having read the original work, Lin Feng naturally knew all of this already—but he couldn't just say that, so he asked instead.
"The high-tier secret art requires an extremely difficult-to-refine pill called the Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill. It's a seventh-tier pill. Though it can maximize our child's potential, it's extremely hard to refine. Even with your current level… you're still quite far from becoming a seventh-tier alchemist."
Shaking her head, Medusa's voice held a trace of regret.
As the child's mother, she of course wished her flesh and blood could have the highest potential possible.
But their current conditions clearly weren't sufficient to refine such an incomparably precious seventh-tier pill.
After a moment of silence, Lin Feng asked slowly, "Sasha, what's the optimal time window for our child to receive the secret art nourishment? How much time do we have?"
"The life aura in my body is still extremely weak. It obviously only just formed not long ago. The best time to apply the secret art is within the first three years of pregnancy. But to be safe, you should refine the Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill before your twenty-third birthday, and let the clan use the secret art to nourish the child."
Medusa calculated in her heart, then softly spoke.
Hearing this, Lin Feng furrowed his brow slightly.
He was currently around twenty-one years old.
In other words, he had just over two years to refine a seventh-tier pill.
Seeing Lin Feng's troubled expression, Medusa said helplessly, "If it's really too much, then let's just go with the middle-tier secret art. If our child ends up like me and reaches the Dou Zong level, there won't be many people who'd dare to bully her anyway."
