Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

This vast spiritual aura especially targeted the four Dou Huang auras belonging to the snake-man clan elders hidden in the shadows, as well as several other Dou Wang commanders.

Unlike the overwhelming soul impact that obliterated Mobas, this spreading soul power served more as a warning and deterrent.

The elders and commanders felt an irresistible and terrifying will descend upon them.

A violent tremor and a suffocating sense of fear came from the depths of my soul, as if I had just walked through the gates of hell. For a short time, my soul was in a state of shock and could not calm down.

Xiao Qing's move was intended to establish his authority!

He wanted all the powerful snake-people to understand that the price of offending him, Xiao Qing, was death.

To avoid any more foolish flies coming to bother us in the future.

"Mo...Mobas!"

Hua She'er looked at Mo Bas, whose breath had dissipated and who had collapsed to the ground dead, her face turned ashen, and her voice trembled slightly.

A powerful Dou Wang commander was silently and instantly killed in front of Hua She'er. This method was too terrifying, and she felt a chill from the bottom of her heart.

Queen Medusa watched this scene, her red lips slightly parted, and finally she let out a barely audible sigh, a complex expression flashing across her eyes.

Queen Medusa clearly sensed Xiao Qing's undisguised soul power, and the warning it contained was self-evident!

This was a warning to Queen Medusa, and also a deterrent to the elders within the tribe who might harbor dissenting thoughts.

Queen Medusa took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, knowing that she had to stabilize the situation at this moment.

At this moment, as if he had done something insignificant, Xiao Qing turned his gaze to Queen Medusa, his tone returning to its usual calm: "Regarding the alchemy, are the medicinal herbs prepared?"

"Everything is ready."

Queen Medusa composed herself, nodded slightly, and looked at Xiao Qing with a complex expression.

"All ready, I can start refining pills at any time." Xiao Qing nodded and continued.

"Arrange for me a quiet alchemy room where I will not be disturbed."

Xiao Qing's gaze swept over Mobas's corpse on the ground, the meaning of which was self-evident.

He didn't want any more accidents to happen.

As for those hidden in the shadows...

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Qing's eyes.

If anyone is ungrateful, he wouldn't mind losing a few more Dou Huang and Dou Wang from the Snake-People race.

"good!"

Queen Medusa paused for a moment, then sighed again and decisively agreed.

She understood that this was Xiao Qing's bottom line, and also a necessary condition for maintaining the current fragile cooperative relationship.

Queen Medusa immediately turned to Flower Snake, her voice regaining its usual majesty: "Flower Snake, take Mr. Xiao Qing to the 'Flame Heart Palace' and convey my order: no one is allowed to approach Mr. Xiao Qing while he is refining pills. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Flower Snake suppressed her fear and respectfully accepted the order.

Just after Xiao Qing left with Hua She'er, Queen Medusa looked at Mobas's corpse with a complicated expression.

She waved to her guards: "Send the remains of Commander Mobas back to the Moshe tribe, and pass down the order that Mr. Xiao Qing is an honored guest of our tribe, and no one is to offend him."

Meanwhile, Xiao Qing, led by Hua She'er, arrived at the Yanxin Palace, located deep within the royal palace.

This is a palace built with special stone. The temperature inside the palace is significantly higher than outside, and the walls are inlaid with crystals that can gather fire-attribute energy.

"Mr. Xiao Qing, this is the best secret chamber in my clan." Flower Snake handed the storage ring containing medicinal herbs to Xiao Qing and said respectfully.

"This is where Her Majesty the Queen used to cultivate, so she wouldn't be disturbed by the outside world. There are also some medicinal herbs inside."

Xiao Qing nodded slightly, accepted the storage ring, and then glanced at the furnishings in the hall.

As an alchemist, Xiao Qing could sense the extraordinary nature of this secret chamber.

"No one may enter without my permission."

Xiao Qing gave the order in a calm tone.

"yes!"

Hua She'er bowed and withdrew, gently closing the palace door.

After Hua She'er left, Xiao Qing slowly walked to the center of the hall.

Xiao Qing walked towards the side hall, where dozens of jade boxes were neatly arranged.

Upon opening one of them, a rich medicinal aroma immediately filled the air.

Inside lay a translucent snow ginseng, its whiskers intact, emanating a faint chill.

"The thousand-year-old snow ginseng... is of good quality."

Xiao Qing nodded slightly and continued to examine the other medicinal herbs.

The snake people's collection is indeed rich, and most of these medicinal materials are of superior quality, with some of the main ingredients being rare and precious items.

It seems that Queen Medusa really went to great lengths to gain Xiao Qing's help.

After checking all the medicinal herbs, including those in the storage ring, Xiao Qing returned to the main hall.

Xiao Qing sat cross-legged in front of the stone platform, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

Although with Xiao Qing's current alchemy skills and soul realm, refining sixth-grade pills is no longer difficult, he still habitually adjusts his state to its best.

Half an hour later, Xiao Qing slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

Xiao Qing flicked his finger, and a pitch-black medicine cauldron appeared on the stone platform.

This is none other than the Black Demon Cauldron of the Medicine Master!

"Let's begin."

Xiao Qing took a deep breath, and a blue flame rose from his palm.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame leaped beneath the medicine cauldron, its temperature precisely controlled to the optimal level.

With a light tap of his finger, Xiao Qing sent one medicinal herb after another flying into the cauldron, where they were transformed into a pure medicinal liquid under the tempering of the strange fire.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Qing remained focused and calm.

Xiao Qing's soul power meticulously controlled every step, and the medicinal liquid slowly fused in the cauldron, emitting an increasingly rich medicinal fragrance.

Just as Xiao Qing was focused on refining pills, a huge uproar was stirred up in the Holy City because of Mobas's death.

The snake people of the Ink Snake Tribe carried Mobas's body back to the tribe, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire snake people tribe.

The fall of one of the eight leaders shocked all the snake people.

"I heard that Commander Mobas was killed by that human!"

"How is that possible? Commander Mobas is a five-star Dou Wang!"

"Absolutely true! Everyone present saw it; the human didn't even move, and Commander Mobas fell down!"

Similar discussions circulated throughout the holy city.

The snake people were both shocked by Xiao Qing's strength and confused by Queen Medusa's decision to bring back humans.

From a pavilion, Yue Mei took in all of this, her heart filled with indescribable shock.

I originally just came to watch the excitement, but I never expected to witness the instant fall of a Dou Wang powerhouse.

That seemingly young human man possessed terrifying strength!

"It seems the Snake-People are about to undergo a major upheaval..."

Yue Mei murmured to herself, her figure disappearing silently from the spot.

……

Deep within the palace, Queen Medusa stood by the window, gazing at the distant Flameheart Palace with a slight frown.

Although Queen Medusa felt sorry for Mobas's death, she was even more aware that the snake people now needed the help of alchemists like Xiao Qing.

Moreover, given the strength Xiao Qing has demonstrated, if they were to truly become enemies, it would be disastrous for the Snake-People.

"I hope this choice is the right one..."

Queen Medusa murmured to herself.

Just then, a guard rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, the four elders request that you come to the council hall."

A knowing glint flashed in Queen Medusa's eyes.

Mobas's death, as expected, alarmed those old guys.

Queen Medusa straightened her robes, her cold and beautiful face regaining its usual majesty.

"understood."

Inside the council hall, the four elders of the snake-people had been waiting for a long time.

Each of them possessed a profound aura, indicating they were all powerful individuals at the Douhuang level.

Upon Queen Medusa's arrival, one of the white-haired elders spoke first:

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you give us an explanation for the death of Commander Mobas?"

Queen Medusa calmly walked to the head seat and sat down, her gaze sweeping over the four elders: "Mobas has openly defied my orders and attacked a distinguished guest in the palace; he deserves to die!"

"But Your Majesty, it was, after all, a human being!" another elder couldn't help but say.

"Furthermore, having a human living in the palace is rather..."

"What's wrong with that?" Queen Medusa coldly interrupted their conversation.

"Mr. Xiao Qing is not only a sixth-grade alchemist, but his strength is also unfathomable! With his help, our clan can get out of our current predicament as soon as possible."

"A sixth-grade alchemist?" The four elders looked at each other, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"That's right. He will soon be refining a sixth-grade pill for our clan, and all the elders will receive a share."

Queen Medusa stood up, slowly releasing the oppressive aura of a peak Douhuang level expert. Her face and voice were filled with majesty as she spoke:

"I have already decided to cooperate with Mr. Xiao Qing! There is no need to discuss this matter further."

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Queen Medusa, the four elders finally fell silent.

They realized that Queen Medusa was no longer the young queen who needed their assistance.

Queen Medusa, at the peak of the Douhuang realm, already possessed the capital to act arbitrarily.

"Since His Majesty has made his decision, we will naturally comply."

The elder who spoke first ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of the sixth-grade pill and bowed.

Queen Medusa nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! Pass down the order that Mr. Xiao Qing shall enjoy the treatment of an elder during his stay with our clan! No one shall be allowed to neglect him."

"yes!"

Meanwhile, inside the Flame Heart Palace.

Just after the Serpent Clan's high-ranking officials reached a consensus, Xiao Qing in the Flame Heart Palace also reached a crucial moment in his alchemy process.

Inside the medicine cauldron, dozens of medicinal liquids had perfectly blended, forming a colorful ball of light the size of a fist.

The surface of the light cluster shimmered with iridescent light and emitted a delightful fragrance.

Xiao Qing was completely focused, meticulously controlling the temperature of the flames with his soul power.

This is the most crucial step before the pill is formed; the slightest mistake will render all previous efforts futile.

As time passed, the light gradually solidified, and fine lines began to appear on its surface.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot up from the cauldron, piercing through the roof of the palace and shooting straight into the sky!

The snake people in the palace were all attracted by this strange phenomenon and looked up at it.

The radiance condensed in the sky into a phantom crimson cloud, and a rich fragrance of cinnabar permeated the entire palace.

"This is... the extraordinary phenomenon of a sixth-grade pill being formed!" the knowledgeable snake-man exclaimed.

Queen Medusa stood outside the council chamber, gazing at the crimson clouds in the sky, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder.

She hadn't expected Xiao Qing's alchemy skills to be so superb, producing a sixth-grade pill so quickly.

Inside the Flame Heart Palace, Xiao Qing looked at the pill in the cauldron, the size of a dragon's eye, with a round and full surface, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"A low-grade, sixth-rank Ice Vein Pill, successfully obtained!"

Xiao Qing carefully placed the pill into the jade bottle, feeling the powerful medicinal force contained within.

"Not bad, you can now refine sixth-grade pills without any problems." At this moment, Elder Yao floated out from his Bone Flame Ring, looking pleased, and said.

This time, when Xiao Qing was refining a sixth-grade pill, the old master did not appear to give him any guidance. Instead, he let Xiao Qing refine it on his own so that he could accumulate experience and make it easier for him to break through to the seventh grade later.

As far as Xiao Qing is concerned, his current cultivation level is not high enough to refine a seventh-grade pill; at the very least, he would need to be at the late stage of the Dou Wang realm.

Even if Xiao Qing, in the late stage of Dou Wang, could attempt to refine seventh-grade pills, the pill tribulation he would suffer after successfully refining them would be enough to make him suffer.

Outside the hall, Hua She'er sensed the gradually calming energy fluctuations inside, and her awe of Xiao Qing deepened even further.

This human man's strength is indeed unfathomable, given that he can refine a sixth-grade pill that can cause extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

As night fell, the holy city gradually quieted down.

However, everyone knows that the fate of the snake people may undergo a dramatic change starting today.

All of this is closely related to the human man who is currently meditating inside the Flame Heart Palace.

Xiao Qing slowly opened his eyes, feeling his fully restored soul power, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Refining six grades of pills in succession has indeed consumed a great deal of Xiao Qing's soul power.

He has now gained initial control over the snake-people line.

Next, we need to rely on the power of the snake people to collect the necessary medicinal materials as soon as possible.
