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

Chapter 166 My God, a Dou Di! What did she hear?

The elders nodded in satisfaction, their approval of Xiao Ran growing even stronger.

He then handed the recipe for the Heavenly Soul Blood Melting Pill to Xiao Ran, and also gave him a storage ring.

"We have prepared all the necessary medicinal herbs."

Xiao Ran nodded, then without further ado, began to examine the pill formula.

After memorizing the pill formula, Xiao Ran returned it to the Grand Elder and then examined his storage ring.

After the investigation was completed, Xiao Ran frowned.

Upon seeing this, the Grand Elder hurriedly asked,

"Young friend Xiao Ran, is there something amiss?"

Queen Medusa also looked at Xiao Ran nervously.

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

He organized his thoughts for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Elder, elders, it's like this, I've noticed that the medicinal herbs prepared by the Snake-People seem to be of a lower grade? The Heavenly Soul Blood Melting Pill refined with these herbs might barely reach the seventh grade."

The elders were slightly taken aback; they had never considered this question before.

Where would the Snake-People tribe find a seventh-grade alchemist to risk being struck by lightning and refine seventh-grade pills for them?

Many of the medicinal herbs in the storage ring have been stored for decades.

Now, hearing Xiao Ran's words, they all realized the problem.

Seeing Xiao Ran's furrowed brows, Queen Medusa pursed her red lips slightly, a hint of joy in her eyes.

The Grand Elder hurriedly asked,

"What does young friend Xiao Ran think?"

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and said,

"Some of the medicinal herbs can be replaced with those that are older, and the blood of the magical beasts in this batch can be of grade eight quality."

"In that case, it's quite possible that the quality of the pills could be raised to the peak of the seventh rank, or even the eighth rank. At the very least, they would be mid-grade seventh rank. What does the Grand Elder think?"

The Grand Elder felt his breathing quicken.

My God! What did she hear?

Listening to Xiao Ran's eloquent speech, even Queen Medusa felt her own ignorance.

The more he looked at Xiao Ran, the more satisfied he became.

That's right, this is my man!

Xiao Ran noticed that the elders were all looking at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Puzzled, he asked,

"What's wrong, Elder? Is it not allowed?"

The elder quickly came to his senses and subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth.

His old face was almost wrinkled into a flower, and he kept nodding.

"Okay, okay! Of course you can!"

"Young friend Xiao Ran is willing to refine a higher-grade pill to improve the quality of the Heavenly Soul Blood Melting Pill. We naturally agree!"

Xiao Ran smiled slightly.

"However, please forgive me, Elder, I do not have some of these medicinal herbs on hand at the moment."

"However, please rest assured that once I have prepared all the medicinal materials, I will immediately refine the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill and deliver it to Xiaomei in time."

Queen Medusa watched this scene quietly from the side.

Although she didn't speak, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth and her loving gaze conveyed the joy and happiness in her heart at that moment.

Xiao Ran took the initiative to request the creation of pills with even higher risks.

Queen Medusa felt she hadn't misjudged him and that her life had been worthwhile.

Her delicate hand unconsciously stroked her flat stomach.

In an instant, she seemed to radiate a maternal glow.

After discussing the matter with the elders and giving them detailed instructions, Xiao Ran finally spoke.

"The gestation period for women of my snake-people race is relatively long, at least three years. Young friend Xiao Ran, you should not be too anxious and ignore the risks involved."

"You only need to refine this elixir within three years for Her Majesty the Queen to consume."

"Thank you for your instructions, Elder. I will keep them in mind," Xiao Ran said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced at Medusa again and said,

"I am prepared to have Her Majesty the Queen by your side from now on."

"Firstly, it will strengthen your relationship."

"Secondly, Her Majesty the Queen is now a Dou Zong powerhouse, so she can protect you as well."

"Thirdly, once you have refined the Heavenly Soul Melting Snow Pill, you can immediately help her take it, saving a lot of risks."

What do you think?

Xiao Ran was delighted upon hearing this.

He winked at Queen Medusa, whose eyes sparkled with beauty, who stood beside him.

Queen Medusa turned her head away in embarrassment.

Xiao Ran smiled smugly, then spoke to the Grand Elder.

"This is exactly what Xiao Ran desires, and he couldn't have gotten it."

The Grand Elder and the other elders all wore maternal smiles. After all, they were young people, and they could understand the young Mu Ai's feelings.

Queen Medusa, on the other hand, had already lowered her head in embarrassment and anger.

"but……"

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, the smiles of the elders and the others faltered.

Queen Medusa had already quietly turned her head, her eyes coldly fixed on Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran, still unaware of the danger, was deep in thought, frowning as he spoke.

"Now I am also Xiaomei's husband, so the Snake People are Xiaomei's maternal family."

"The desert is hot and arid, so it probably isn't suitable for any kind of life to survive, is it?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, both the elders and Queen Medusa were taken aback.

A thought suddenly popped into my head.

Could it be that the Snake People have been planning for over a hundred years to leave the Tagher Desert?

Is it really going to be accomplished by this young man in front of me with just a few words?

And the price is simply marrying off a queen?

The elders naturally couldn't say that.

Queen Medusa stepped forward, looking at Xiao Ran with a hint of urgency, and asked...

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said,

"I once stayed in the Monster Mountain Range, where the climate was pleasant, the vegetation was lush, and the forests were dense."

"It should be very suitable for the survival and development of the snake people."

"Elders, and Xiaomei, do you have any interest in this?"

The four elders exchanged glances, each seeing the unease in the other's eyes.

Queen Medusa spoke at this moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, but thank you, it's alright!"

"Our Serpent People and the Gama Empire have a long-standing feud. To cross the Tagor Desert and reach the Monster Mountain Range, we must pass through the territory of the Gama Empire."

"I have already planned this. Once my cultivation is stable, I will immediately launch a large-scale attack on the Jia Ma Empire."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder seemed hesitant to speak, but ultimately handed the floor to Queen Medusa.

Xiao Ran frowned slightly and said,

"Xiao Mei, even though you are now a Dou Zong level expert, it wouldn't be a problem for you to just carve a path through."

"But there are always stronger people out there. How do you know they won't bring in other powerful individuals to help them?"

"Moreover, once war breaks out, it will be a huge meat grinder."

"At that time, the number of dead and injured among the snake-people, the strong among humans, and even ordinary people is unknown."

"Why did it come to this?"
