Si Taizhen glanced at his other brothers, who were seated at the head table. With some hesitation, he said to Yi Hongzheng,
"Can you refine the Five Qi Nourishing Essence Pill?"
He had awakened the Soaring Serpent Bloodline, and his talent towered over the many other princes of the Jade Poison Kingdom.
But this gift did not come without a price.
Si Taizhen had spent ten years in his mother's womb before he was born. His mother was merely an ordinary Snake Demon, her cultivation barely reaching the Great Demon Realm. The effort of gestating him had depleted her Vitality, and she had nearly perished from the lack of it.
It was the Jade Poison Great Saint who saw that the child's bloodline was bound to be extraordinary and thus expended a great deal of Spirit Medicine to replenish his mother's Vitality.
If not for that, Si Taizhen might never have been born at all.
