No matter how you looked at it, the sparkling white rock did not look like it was refined from dragon blood and meat.

After all, there was still a Fire Phoenix in the Sword Crafting City. However, the Nine Heavens Swelling Earth was a bit mystical. It was a legendary divine artifact created by Nuwa, so how could it possibly appear in this world?

The mountain was clear and beautiful. Li Dao sat cross-legged next to the stream. Birds were chirping in and out of sight.

The nine dragon stone was suspended in the air under Li Dao's power. It spun around and around, emitting a gorgeous color.

The boundless essence energy was stirred up, and Li Dao absorbed it into his body before starting to refine it bit by bit.

It was just as Li Dao had thought. The essence energy contained in the Nine Dragons Stone was able to expel the leftover blood energy from the Fringe Elder.

As time passed, the nine dragon stone became smaller. Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes and let out a "wow". He then spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned rosy.

Standing up, Li Dao fiddled with the Nine Dragons Stone as a bright light flashed across his eyes.

The nine dragon stone not only expelled the leftover blood Qi from the old man at the border, it also improved his cultivation. The originally shriveled and mottled Jindan (1) above his Dantian became much more plump and round.

Since the nine dragon stone had the ability to temper golden cores, how could he still return it to Sai Hua Tuo?

With the Nine Dragons Stone and the Mysterious Life and Death Pill in his arms, Li Dao felt that the time for him to become a supreme grandmaster wasn't far away.

Destiny was indeed a shortcut to reaching the highest heights in the world. If he followed the steps and cultivated, even if he could travel through different worlds, how much time would it take to reach the supreme grandmaster level?

Li Dao felt that he should go find him. If he could exterminate the four spirits, then he did not know how far he could grow. Even without the sword, perhaps he could shatter the void.

The Four Spirits referred to the dragon, phoenix, Xuanwu turtle, and white tiger. He already knew that the fire phoenix existed in the Sword Crafting Mountain, so he guessed that dragons, Xuanwu turtles, and white tiger existed as well.

Since his injuries had already healed, he should go to Mirror Reflection Lake to see the Life and Death Chess.

Five hundred years ago, General Ying Shuntian built a massive chess city called the Chess of Life and Death. In a life-and-death game of chess, he would fight to the death with the Saint Sword Founder. In the end, both sides would perish together. And this world revolved around the development of the Life and Death Chess. Presumably, there was an earth-shattering secret hidden within.

According to the TV series, only Yan Zhaofeng and Ren Qianxing were able to open the Life and Death Chess, and they were hiding treasures that could rival even the richest countries in the world.

However, Li Dao didn't think so. This was the real world, and it couldn't be as simple as it was in the TV series. Besides, he had reached a certain level in his martial arts. What was he going to do with money? What treasure that was as rich as a kingdom did not exist in the first place. Who knows what kind of treasure it was?

Before heading to Mirror Reflection Lake, Li Dao still had one thing to do, and that was to return the money to Liu Yiyi.

He, Li Jun, had always been a man of his word and would not go back on his word. He might as well have eight thousand taels of silver, not eight hundred thousand taels of silver. It was easy to find eight thousand taels of silver just by going out for a round.

On the busy street of Coiled Dragon City, a white-clothed gongzi held a sword in one hand and pulled on the reins with the other.

The horse, Herulu, was dragging the broken cart with some difficulty. On the cart were two large chests.

Actually, Li Dao could have given two pieces of banknotes to Liu Yiyi, but since the banknotes had a number on them, he might bring trouble to Liu Yiyi. Therefore, he gave them to her for free.

The horse stopped in front of the God of Food's Hall. Li Dao stretched out his hands in fear, and two large chests flew into the God of Food's Residence.

A loud bang sounded as the box fell to the ground. Li Dao nodded his head in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave, he heard angry curses coming from behind him.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my ogres residence? Is it because my aunt's sabre is not sharp enough?"

Liu Yi Yi Yi's face was filled with anger. She was holding onto two kitchen knives as she ran out. She happened to see Li Dao turn around.
