The bombshell news from earlier had barely settled when Gu Ni dropped yet another shocking revelation!Xiao Zhan, with an excited heart, asked,"Master Gu Ni, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Ni replied,"As I mentioned before, the child in the womb is currently cultivating battle qi."
"However… perhaps because the child hasn't been born yet, the current state of mother and child is heart-to-heart. Therefore, when cultivating and absorbing battle qi, both parties complement each other, including issues related to their own strength."
"So I'm saying that this lady's strength isn't her own, but entirely due to the child in her womb."
After hearing this, Xiao's mother became even more excited.
"So you're saying that the child in the womb is the one who truly has the peak Battle Master cultivation level?"
"Yes… Clan Leader Xiao, this child of yours is truly an unimaginable prodigy!"
Even though he had reached this conclusion, the alchemist Gu Ni himself found this news incredibly far-fetched! But the facts were indeed so!
Moreover, he had originally been very concerned about Xiao's mother's physical condition, but as the leader of a third-rate clan, he simply didn't have the ability to find a high-level alchemist to help.
Now, all these problems would be solved!
"Congratulations, Clan Leader!"
Similarly, the elders present all stood up to congratulate their clan leader.
Although each elder present had their own ulterior motives, they were clear about what was truly important when it came to major issues.
If the Xiao family could produce a true prodigy, it would definitely lead the currently constrained Xiao family of Wutan City to truly rise!
It might even restore the glory that only existed in the ancient legends of the Xiao family!
Even now, Gu Ni also displayed an attitude completely different from before, cupping his hands and saying,
"Congratulations, Clan Leader Xiao. I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Master Gu Ni is too kind, this way please…"
Soon, an elder stood up and escorted Master Gu Ni elsewhere.
What followed would be some Xiao family matters, so it wasn't appropriate for Gu Ni to remain.
As for Xiao's mother, she now felt a bit empty-headed, looking as if she hadn't quite grasped the situation. She just continued to caress her belly, her motherly gaze filled with a mix of surprise and joy as she looked at her stomach.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan was urgently discussing strategies with the other elders.
"Clan Leader, how should we handle this matter going forward?"
"Hmm, let's try to keep it secret for now. But this is indeed great news!"
"Indeed! Once this child grows up successfully, the position of young clan leader will be secure!"
"Listen to yourself, were you ever interested in the clan leader position before?" "Come on, don't talk nonsense, I never thought about it!"
"Hahaha!"
For a time, joyful emotions spread throughout the entire Xiao family.
It was precisely because of this joy that the Xiao family's original intention to keep things secret was certainly impossible to conceal.
Not only was the commotion from Xiao Chong's cultivation growing larger, but basically anyone cultivating near the Xiao mansion, even if they were just a Fighter, could feel the energy in the air seemingly gathering towards the clan leader's wife from time to time.
Additionally, Xiao's mother, who originally had poor health and could only rest in her room, now felt better and was eager to go out and about more often.
She even said: "The child in my belly is cultivating, so of course I need to take him out to see the world."
Sometimes Xiao's mother would even disregard her big belly, find a place to sit cross-legged and start cultivating energy.
In any case, seeing his wife in such good spirits, as well as the surprise his child brought him that day, Xiao Zhan could hardly stop smiling.
During this time, Xiao Chong, inside his mother's belly, was also making good progress.
Because he could sense the outside world, Xiao Chong could see what his mother looked like when she was cultivating.
[You have observed and comprehended your mother's energy circulation, obtaining the technique "Cycle of Heaven and Earth"]
Feeling a strange knowledge surge into his mind, Xiao Chong was immediately delighted.
Originally, he only knew how to convert energy into primordial qi and then greedily devour it, but now he finally had a proper technique to truly circulate his inner energy.
Without any further thought, Xiao Chong began to assume a meditation posture inside his mother's belly.
Silently reciting the incantation, he circulated his energy.
Guiding the primordial qi converted from energy, as carefully as embroidering on tofu in his past life, he slowly cleared his meridians step by step…
During this cultivation, Xiao Chong, who occasionally moved his limbs in the ocean of amniotic fluid, could often hear drum-like sounds and a woman's gentle, teasing voice…
By the way, Xiao Chong also paid more attention to the fetus beside him, the future Xiao Yan.
"Let him absorb the dispersed primordial qi as well.""Little brother, if you don't give me a few ninth-grade pills in the future, we're not done."
Although lying low was nice, Xiao Chong felt that before that, he should have some self-protection ability.
After all, the things that need to be protected should be protected by one's own hands!
Of course, during this time, as news of a miraculous child in the Xiao family who could cultivate in the womb quickly spread, the two families who had always been at odds with the Xiao family scoffed at the idea.
Especially the Jia Lie family, who had been at odds with the Xiao family since they appeared in Wu Tan City, were even more contemptuous.
What nonsense about practicing in the womb and breaking through to become a Dou Shi? How could anyone believe such ridiculous claims? Of course, the Xiao family currently had no time to deal with them, and even hoped the Jia Lie family would dismiss this as false.
Throughout history, too many geniuses have perished before truly making a name for themselves. The Xiao family did not want their unborn prodigy to face any scheming.
Moreover, the Xiao family knew that compared to those clowns from the Jia Lie family, a group of important guests would also be arriving in just a few days.
They were people from the Na Lan family, as well as members of the Yunlan Sect.
