"Alright, Qingyi, I promise you, don't worry, I will expel all the Corpse Qi from your body…"

Wang Xiaoqiang said as he took Huan Qingyi flying toward the Immortal Pool.

The moonlight was bright, and the Water of the Immortal River was blue like jade, resembling a beautiful gemstone—quite a sight to behold.

...

In this battle, the Myriad Ghost Sect lost over ten Ghost Generals and hundreds of Ghost Soldiers.

Medicine God Valley also faced heavy losses, with nearly a thousand disciples dead and hundreds injured.

This shows that although Medicine God Valley had a larger force, in terms of individual strength, they did not compare to the Ghost Soldiers of the Myriad Ghost Sect.

And there were casualties among the leaders of both factions.

The Myriad Ghost Ancestor suffered the destruction of his avatar, a considerable loss indeed.

Huan Qingyi was lucky to have encountered Wang Xiaoqiang, who used Fire Element Spiritual Energy to dispel her Corpse Qi.

Otherwise, even draining the Primordial Yang from dozens of men would not have cleansed her of the uniquely toxic Corpse Yin Qi.

The key point was Huan Qingyi always conducted herself with integrity, unwilling to engage with dozens of men. How would that differ from a brothel woman?

Having discussed the combatants, it is now necessary to mention the third party, the Immortal River Mystic Soldiers who aided Medicine God Valley.

The Immortal River Mystic Soldiers also suffered hundreds of casualties.

But if it weren't for the Immortal River Mystic Soldiers, Medicine God Valley might hardly have any disciples left alive.

Now, Medicine God Valley was immensely grateful to the Immortal River Mystic Soldiers. Of course, the one they should be most thankful for was Wang Xiaoqiang.

So, after a long period of recuperation, Medicine God Valley hosted a banquet to entertain Wang Xiaoqiang and the Immortal River Mystic Soldiers.

That day was a lively one for Medicine God Valley, with banquet tables set up in every major restaurant, where disciples and Immortal River Mystic Soldiers gathered together, drinking merrily.

At the main hall of Medicine God Valley, banquet tables were also set up. Wang Xiaoqiang and Huan Qingyi took the seat of honor, with Xia Xue, Xi Yuerong, and Yus Ziman sitting below them, making merry with their drinks.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt particularly happy at that moment, having gathered his four women together, especially when he saw Xia Xueyan's belly, a strong sense of accomplishment filled his heart.

Xia Xueyan's belly was already proccedingly swollen. Cultivators, due to the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, have significantly shorter pregnancies compared to normal women,

A normal woman carries a baby for ten months before giving birth, whereas a cultivator, benefiting from the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, needs only three months.

Now, less than a week is left before Xia Xueyan's due date, and she might give birth a few days early.

However, cultivator women are robust, so giving birth involves little difficulty. There is no need for a hospital or a midwife. The child can be born and the umbilical cord severed by the mother herself, easily managing the birth.

"Little Qiang, I always feel like the Myriad Ghost Ancestor is going to attack us again. If he does, how shall we respond…" Huan Qingyi expressed her worry.

"Meet the troops with strategy and the water with soil, we're not afraid of his arrival. His strength has halved since the destruction of his avatar, and coming at us would be like signing his death warrant. Moreover, he couldn't possibly condense another avatar so soon…" Wang Xiaoqiang analyzed.

"Yes, condensing an avatar consumes a lot of Essence Blood and Soul and Spirit, and it's impossible for the Myriad Ghost Ancestor to form another avatar in such a short time," said Huan Qingyi, who was quite experienced in this matter.

It took Huan Qingyi over a year to condense her avatar,

Upon thinking of avatar condensation, Huan Qingyi couldn't help but glance at Xia Xueyan's belly.

She felt there was a similarity between condensing an avatar and a woman's pregnancy.

During pregnancy, a woman nourishes the fetus with Essence Blood from her body, while condensing an avatar also requires extracting Essence Blood, not only taking Essence Blood but also separating a strand each of one's Three Souls and Seven Spirits, combining them with Essence Blood and condensing them with Spiritual Power.

Pregnancy takes only a few months, but condensing an avatar quickly takes over a year, and slowly, it might take five or six years.

Thus, for cultivators of the Immortal Venerable Realm, each advancement is incredibly difficult. For instance, advancing to the Onefold Body of the Immortal Venerable requires condensing an avatar, which takes one to six years,

While advancing to the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable requires condensing two avatars, a process that requires at least two to ten years.

Only cultivators like Huan Qingyi, who possess two Attribute Spiritual Roots, could possibly condense an avatar within a year.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote and support it at Qidian.com. For mobile readers, please visit m.qidian.com.)
