In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 162 Breakthrough Opportunity, Medusa is Questioned

Queen Medusa reached out and caught the jade bottle, her face slightly flushed, and glared at Xiao Ran through gritted teeth.

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me by that disgusting name!"

Xiao Ran gave an awkward smile.

"I apologize, I couldn't help myself. Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will only call out like that next time when I'm detoxifying you."

"you……"

Queen Medusa gritted her teeth in anger, turned around, and took a step away.

A cold, clear voice followed.

"You'd better find a way to break through and refine the elixir as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, the day you leave this island, you will be thrown into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes by the four elders of our clan. At that time, even I will not be able to save you."

Xiao Ran hurriedly called out,

"Your Majesty, you are still suffering from the effects of the poison. I am willing to serve you faithfully!"

Queen Medusa nearly fell over as she wobbled in the void.

Having finally regained her balance, she turned her head, her face flushed, and glared angrily at Xiao Ran, saying coldly,

"You are merely a tool for my detoxification; when I will detoxify is none of your business!"

Having said that, he took a step and vanished in an instant.

Looking at the arrogant Queen Medusa, Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly.

this woman.

These days have passed,

Xiao Ran also discovered that Queen Medusa was actually a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

Many times, my whole body goes limp, but my mouth remains stubborn; I just won't admit defeat.

Perhaps I've been overdoing it with detoxification these past two days.

However, right now...

The most important thing is to break through to the Dou Wang realm first.

Just in the last two days,

He finally sensed a glimmer of opportunity for a breakthrough.

However, he still couldn't find the right method.

So Xiao Ran thought of refining the Battle Spirit Pill, and by taking the Battle Spirit Pill, he could use its enormous medicinal power to help him break through that realm barrier.

Most importantly, he has been here for about twenty days.

Soon it will be time to settle the task rewards again, and he doesn't want the system to give him a free level.

The medicinal herbs were provided by Queen Medusa's Serpent Clan.

As payment, Xiao Ran discussed with Queen Medusa...

After he breaks through to the next level, he will help the snake people refine a batch of pills for cultivation.

Xiao Ran had nothing to say about this.

Ordinary families have to pay a dowry to get a wife, but I didn't have to pay a penny and got a beautiful, aloof and noble queen for free.

It's not too much to ask that my wife help her family refine some elixirs, is it?

Thinking of Queen Medusa's somewhat disheveled departure earlier, Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.

Immediately, Xiao Ran stopped wasting time.

He put aside his distracting thoughts and entered the house he had just built on the island.

Sit cross-legged on the bed, hold your breath, concentrate, and completely empty your mind to adjust your breathing to the optimal state.

Only then did he open the jade bottle and swallow a Fighting Spirit Pill directly into his stomach.

In a flash,

The powerful medicinal effects suddenly spread throughout the body.

The powerful fighting spirit surged into the vortex and circulated through the meridians of the body in an instant.

At that moment, Xiao Ran finally sensed that even more obvious opportunity for a breakthrough.

He quickly held his breath and focused his mind, fully activating his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal power.

What Xiao Ran didn't realize was that

After he entered the room and began his breakthrough...

Above the island,

Queen Medusa, dressed in red and wearing a noble golden crown, slowly appeared.

Looking at Xiao Ran, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, a hint of worry and expectation appeared in his eyes.

"Good luck, little one!"

"If the difference is too great, I won't seek your help for the antidote anymore!"

Queen Medusa had originally planned to seek Xiao Ran out today to cure her poison.

However, after seeing that Xiao Ran had finished refining the pill, he prepared to temporarily endure the effects of the poison.

Let Xiao Ran maintain his good condition to make a breakthrough.

Because she knew that as long as she mentioned the antidote, that little lecher would be full of energy even if he stayed up all night.

Although she liked it, it didn't do much good for Xiao Ran's breakthrough.

She let out a soft sigh.

Queen Medusa found a rock on the lake.

Pan sat there quietly, waiting for Xiao Ran to break through.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Suddenly at that moment,

The fighting spirit between heaven and earth surged rapidly toward Xiao Ran's location.

Queen Medusa opened her eyes, unaware that she was actually quite nervous.

Inside a house on the island.

At this moment, Xiao Ran, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Now is the time!"

With a low shout, powerful battle qi surged into Xiao Ran's body instantly.

In just a moment.

He felt as if there was some obstruction in his body, which then suddenly cleared up.

Even the blood in my body seemed to flow more smoothly.

Xiao Ran slowly stood up, looked at his hands from side to side, and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Finally, I've reached the Douhuang realm. Finally, I'm no longer as fragile as paper. I have a little bit of power to protect myself in this world."

not far away,

Queen Medusa, who had been keeping an eye on Xiao Ran,

Hearing Xiao Ran's happy words, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she felt much more relieved.

But on the surface, it was disdain.

"It's just a mere Dou Huang, why are you grinning like an idiot? If you don't stabilize your Dou Qi, you'll risk an unstable cultivation level."

At that moment, Xiao Ran also suddenly realized something within his body.

Having just broken through to the Battle Qi stage, he felt a little unstable, so he immediately sat down cross-legged again and began to circulate his energy to calm his Battle Qi.

Queen Medusa watched this scene quietly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

After watching for a long time, he quietly disappeared and slowly left.

……

When Queen Medusa reappeared in the temple of the Serpent People.

The four snake-people elders who had been waiting there immediately surrounded them.

"Your Majesty, when will the human who took your body show himself?"

"Your Majesty, as your man, he should be thoroughly investigated by us, the four elders. We must not tolerate such evil!"

"Your Majesty, what kind of elixirs did you bring on this trip? Has he finished refining them?"

"Yes, when will Her Majesty concoct the elixirs for us? We've already given him the ingredients, but..."

"..."

Listening to the four elders talking all at once

Queen Medusa narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a cool, indifferent voice,

"Elders!"

Upon hearing Queen Medusa speak, the four elders all fell silent.

Quietly looking up at Queen Medusa.

Queen Medusa slowly walked to the throne and sat down.

He looked at the four elders and said,

"I understand the four elders' concern for me and for my snake-people."

"I am aware of the heavy responsibility Queen Medusa bears, and I will certainly not let everyone down."

"He hasn't started refining the pills yet, simply because he's at the most crucial moment in his breakthrough to the Dou Huang realm."

"Once his cultivation level is stable, I will ask him to refine pills for my clan."

The Grand Elder looked at Queen Medusa with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, is what you're saying true?"

Queen Medusa glanced at the Grand Elder indifferently and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! I swear on Medusa's honor! Is that enough now?"
