Naturally, this should solve the problem of their physical instability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, these hybrids have no desire to mate. Even when given beast essence, there's no reaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Siyi stared at the snake-humans in the pool, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and a sense of exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, her body began to tremble slightly, filled with unusual excitement and enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, her demeanor was vastly different from her usual innocent and naive self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you tried any aphrodisiac like 'Hehuan Powder'?\" Zhou Siyi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have tried, but it had no effect,\" Liu Jiang replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you tried mating them with the Green Jade Snakes?\" Zhou Siyi inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've tried that too, but there's a species barrier, making it impossible to naturally conceive a new generation of human-snakes,\" Liu Jiang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their conversation, Song Wen felt a strange thought rise in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two before him seemed completely unconcerned about morality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jiang appeared to be a mad scientist, obsessively exploring the mysteries of life by creating an unnatural creature, showing a kind of delusional insanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to their upbringing and environment, Zhou Siyi displayed an extreme indifference to human ethics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their eyes, perhaps, mere mortals without cultivation were not of the same species as them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like how humans viewed ants-why would a human care about the lives of ants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reflecting on the various experiences since he began cultivating, Song Wen realized that it wasn't just these two; many in the cultivation world likely shared this mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the higher one's cultivation, the more indifferent one became to the lives of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had nothing to do with righteousness or evil; it was merely about cultivation levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a bit tricky! To develop a new kind of aphrodisiac specifically for human-snakes is no easy task,\" Zhou Siyi muttered to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for some time and failing to come up with a solution, she turned to Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Wu, do you have any insights on this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen shook his head. \"I'm neither skilled in alchemy nor familiar with the habits of human-snakes, so I really can't think of any countermeasures. However, since the human- snakes are not naturally conceived beings, perhaps they simply can't reproduce. Their unstable physical forms are evidence of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jiang interjected, \"That's not entirely accurate. I once cultivated a particularly unique human-snake that not only had a stable body but also possessed intelligence comparable to humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That creature was so intelligent that it even understood the concept of hiding its strength, concealing its abilities, and could restrain its aura. It secretly advanced to a second-level beast without my noticing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One day, taking advantage of my carelessness, it escaped from this underwater snake enclosure and disappeared into the vast lake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen and Zhou Siyi were both shocked upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A second-level human-snake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jiang nodded, a proud expression crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Siyi turned to Liu Jiang, admiration flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Liu, may I see your notes on cultivating human-snakes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jiang frowned. \"That may not be convenient. Showing you the existence of human-snakes is already an exception. Normally, only those with the status of Law Enforcement Elders at the peak of the sect are qualified to know about human-snakes. The notes are even more of a sect secret and cannot be easily shared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Siyi didn't press the matter further but instead sent a message through spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing it, Liu Jiang's eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Song Wen, \"Elder Wu, you should go rest in the guest room. I have some matters to discuss with Elder Zhou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen, sensing the situation, nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only three of them here, yet Zhou Siyi had used spiritual energy to communicate, clearly wary of Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Song Wen walked toward the cave entrance, he paused suddenly after taking a few steps and turned to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Liu, I have a question in my mind. If it's convenient, could you help clarify it for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Given the weak abilities of the human-snakes, why bother investing so much time and effort\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in cultivating them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jiang replied, \"This is a secret of the sect, and I do not know the reasons behind it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen bowed and bid farewell, turning to leave the underwater snake enclosure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen initially thought Zhou Siyi and Liu Jiang would come out soon, but unexpectedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waited for a full half month in the guest room arranged by He Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen days later, Zhou Siyi finally emerged from the underwater snake enclosure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked exhausted, clearly having used up a lot of mental energy, yet her eyes sparkled\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that during this half month, she and Liu Jiang had been diligently studying the notes and had gained some insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Zhou, are you alright?\" Song Wen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Wu, I'm fine, just a bit mentally drained. A couple of days of rest will have me back to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>normal,\" Zhou Siyi replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did the mission go? When can we leave?\" Song Wen was anxious to return to the Beastmaster Sect to work on the Explosive Blood Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Siyi said, \"The problem hasn't been resolved yet. I'm afraid we can't leave just yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhou Siyi entered an empty guest room to recuperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen frowned slightly; he didn't want to stay in the Spirit Breeding Workshop any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was already there, he might as well make himself comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they couldn't leave for the time being, Song Wen settled into the guest room to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>meditate and cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly, and two days went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day at noon, a medium-sized flying ship, over thirty meters long, descended over the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit Breeding Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten disciples from the Beastmaster Sect, at the Qi Refinement stage, disembarked from the ship, each carrying a fainted young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering these women to a separate pavilion, they returned to the ship and brought\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>down another young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These back-and-forth continued multiple times, ultimately delivering over two hundred\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>women to the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These young women shared a common characteristic; each had a vigorous life force emanating from their lower abdomens, indicating they were all pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Siyi walked out of the guest room and knocked on Song Wen's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Wu, are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Song Wen opened the door. \"Sister Zhou, what's the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I and Elder Liu will be in seclusion in the underwater secret chamber for a while. During this\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>period, we cannot be disturbed by outsiders. I ask you, Elder Wu, to watch over the safety of the Spirit Breeding Workshop and remember not to let anyone intrude into the underwater snake enclosure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen nodded helplessly in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next half a month, Zhou Siyi and Liu Jiang remained in the underwater secret chamber,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rarely showing themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, quite a number of women were sent into the underwater chamber, ranging from a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>few to twenty or thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the women were consumed, the disciples from the Beastmaster Sect went out to capture\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Song Wen was meditating and cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense detected a dark aura rapidly approaching the underwater snake enclosure\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from the lake bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This dark aura was extremely obscure; if not for its rapid movement causing ripples in the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>water, it would have been nearly imperceptible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Song Wen vanished from the room and appeared on the surface of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly formed a sword formula with his hands, and a low-grade flying sword shot into\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the water, racing toward the mysterious aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of the Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want More of (RDC)?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read ahead on [Pa.treon] (patreon.com\u002FCinderTL) - up to Chapter 416.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early access starts at $5.
