The goal of the 3rd round is to collect four keys. As soon as the explanation ends, Su Luo goes to the College and immediately collects the Mysterious key ‘off screen’ as two of her teammates decide to stay behind in protest.

Mao Tian draws poorly and is killed. Everyone blames SL for not giving him one of the two Death Medals. The Old man passes things off to the Giant Eagle.

SL ends up giving all her gold to Ning Yu and Chu Chen. A hidden part of the task is revealed and Long Wei, who stole a gold ring from Ning Yu, dies from triggering the hidden topic. A new task is given, everyone is to collect three medicinal herbs each, but again, part of the task is hidden. SL’s team leaves first and all other teams follow after her, believing she knows something. Nanmen Jingshu is left behind and swears screaming that she will kill Princess Yun. Niaoque comes out and conspires with Nanmen Jingshu to kill SL. Everyone finished collecting herbs. The two rogue cultivators in Qing Han’s team try to sneak into SL’s house at night to see what herbs they have or to steal them, but they get caught by Ling Meng’s formation. Lu Chun and Wang Kai get called out, but they suffer no consequences, other than being yelled at by their Captain. Everyone gathers for the end of the round and the hidden condition is revealed to be death to those who gather herbs with three character names.

SL is forced to give Qing Chi a Death Medal because she knows others are watching. Wang Kai dies.
10708-10724 – The Water, Fire & Earth Topics – SL guesses aloud correctly that there are three rounds left, following the five elements. They are told by the little bird everyone will die when everything is over. Princess Luo is not here so the self destruct mechanism will activate after the five element rounds are over.

It instructs her that gaining the inheritance will grant her the power to open the Stone.
10725-10738 – Meeting Grand Emperor Nitian – SL sits upon the inheritance futon and enters a sea of memories, meeting her father on a ship in the middle of the sea. Heaven Rebelling [Nitian] Grand Emperor is both annoyed and pleased with her. They talk about the overall objective of defeating Heavenly Dao but he cannot give her too much information. The biggest revelation is that he tricked Heavenly Dao into entering the mundane world, but he has no idea what he looks like, where he is, or how to tell who is Heavenly Dao. However, collecting and combining all 12 of the Holy Artifacts will give a clue. He gives her two drops of his diluted Heaven and Earth power, enough to send her immediately to peak of Star Glory. SL extracts more benefits from her father by acting cute. SL finds out Blue Dragon Grand Emperor used to be Nitian’s mount. Nitian is furious at what’s happened and passes SL a method to kill him as well as the knowledge to contact former followers of his. They run out of time. SL uses one drop on the Soul Stone. Giant Eagle forces the 2nd drop on SL. SL promotes to 5 star Star Glory. Blue Dragon Emperor is 9 star Star Glory. SL looks inside and finds NL within the Soul Stone, badly wounded. Niaoque instructs SL on needing Soul Power to nourish NL. SL needs someone to be her scapegoat in acquiring the Nitian Inheritance so she and the birds conspire to make Nanmen Jingshu Princess Luo. Nanmen Jingshu promotes one star from the SL’s leftovers, then she orders everyone killed to keep the secret. The birds ignore her and allow the timer to kick everyone out of the Secret Territory.

10739-10757 – Steward Jiang and Dueling Duo Ming – The adults greet them outside and let them know they saw everything that happened outside.

SL meets with Tang Yu who tells her that news of Princess Yun’s death will soon make it here and advises her to leave. After he leaves, SL checks her space and finds the treasures she earned from Little Luo Secret Territory gone, but Little Divine Dragon has split into two separate dragons. Little Black Dragon explains that they stole some of her power of Earth and Heaven she absorbed from her father.

She’ll need to upgrade her High Grade Spirit Water to Refined Grade Spirit Water for the best effect, but it’s unknown how. SL continues robbing the place. King Duo is 7 star Star Glory. SL learns that King Duo is actually from the Central Plains and speculates as to where he got all his wealth. King Duo is in communication with someone at the Imperial Capital, but SL steals the letter he sends, although she’s unable to read the code. King Duo refuses to leave his study, so SL poisons his son as a distraction. SL ransacks his private stores and takes everything, including a Little Blue Dragon that gets bullied by Little Black Dragon, Dragon Eggs, and some Golden Dragon Blood. SL escapes. King Duo’s roar of anger destroys half his Estate.
10770-10777 – SL flees back to the house Steward Jiang bought for her and asks him about the Golden Dragon Blood. SL hands over King Duo’s stolen office to Steward Jiang to look for blackmail material. SL is advised by Steward Jiang to brand the unborn dragons of Blue Dragon Grand Emperor with her blood and she does so when their eggshells start cracking inside her world. SL shoves Little Black Dragon in front of the hatchlings for them to impress upon. The 18 hatchlings drain too much energy from SL’s world and she becomes poor again. The coded letter from before explains King Duo stole them from Blue Dragon Grand Emperor and plans on forwarding them to Central Plains. While SL is moving outside, Nanmen Jingshu’s carriage tries to run her over. SL decides to rob the Holy Fire Sect next, but first cultivates the Invincible Golden Body using the treasures she stole from King Duo.
10778-10797 – Robbing Holy Fire Sect – SL sneaks into Holy Fire Sect, slaughters their mounts for food for her pets, and rapidly excavates their spirit stone mine with her pets.

SL escapes and stumbles upon the Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect while he’s killing and consuming the souls of children in a private house. SL kills him, steals his Soul Crystal Ball to feed her Soul Raising Stone, and takes his identity to go after his father, the injured Sect Master. Sect Master instructs disguised SL to kill Nanmen Jingshu because she is Princess Luo. SL takes all the information and treasures he gives her and watches him die. SL then casually poisons Nanmen Jingshu. While leaving, SL stumbles upon Young Master Di and quickly changes back to Princess Yun. Nanmen Jingshu sees her and immediately frames her for robbing them. SL tricks Nanmen Jingshu into pushing her to her seeming death. Young Master Di jumps into the lava after her. Nanmen Jingshu is arrested for openly killing Princess Yun. SL disappears back to her hideout.
10798 – The Blue Dragon Emperor wants to kill Nanmen Jingshu on the spot, but his advisors remind him that she may be Princess Luo and only the Central Empire’s Emperor Xuanyuan may take her life. Just then, a Eunuch brings the Emperor a written message, Princess Yun is a fake, arrest her! The court discusses the matter in detail and learn Tang Yu has resigned.
SL discusses with Steward Jiang on what to do next, regarding the collections of the remaining two Paladin Artifacts. Golden Crow Hall is associated with SL’s parents and help her with her plans in the Blue Dragon Empire. SL impersonates one of their Elders, using the name Su Liuxing, and starts by going to the Blue Dragon Emperor’s court to demand repayment on their loans. SL anticipates her presence will force the Emperor to drop the issue of a potential fake Princess Yun. Blue Dragon Empire has been slowly been bought up by Dark Gold Hall and the Emperor owes such a great debt that he is forced to sign over 9/10 of the Empire’s land and allow himself to be a replaceable ruler.
SL returns to the hideout to find NL is awake inside her world. After a few hours of private time, NL explains that when he fought Young Master Di, Di’s cultivation was dragged down by NL by a full greater realm, but NL’s body was destroyed. NL doesn’t regret the decision. To help NL grow back his body faster, they need to visit five cities that are related to five directions, five elements, and defended by five guardians. They decide on Fire City because it’s guardian will be going through a weak period soon.
SL receives money from the Dark Gold Hall for the debts owed by the Blue Dragon Empire and starts on her to way to Fire City. Steward Jiang accompanies her. Nanmen Jingshu expires from the Holy Fire Sect Master’s poison. SL finally takes out the Qilin her father gifted her long ago for a ride. King Duo Luo’s spies find out about Princess Yun’s hideout, Lingering Courtyard, and how Su Liuyun, SL’s current cover, uses it as well. He speculates that Su Liuyun is the fake Princess Yun, and is truly Princess Luo. King Duo Luo recruits Patriarch Blood Dragon and a Great Elder of Infinite Floor, saying that this Dark Gold Hall Elder is all by himself carrying over a billion coins and that they should rob him. While running from the robbers, NL’s voice guides SL on where to hide. SL overhears King Duo Luo’s conversation with the others about her being the fake Princess Yun. SL is shocked at her own carelessness at being found out.
SL consults with NL and she lays an ambush first for the Blood Dragon Patriarch. She destroys his body and imprisons his soul in her world. SL dresses and takes upon Blood Dragon Patriarch’s appearance. SL then fires a flare to lure King Duo Luo in and feigns injury when he arrives. SL injures him in the ambush but is wounded badly as well. SL is lead by NL to an Immortal Blood Pool to lay a 2nd ambush. The Blood Pool will restore whoever is in it back to full strength over and over again so it becomes a battle of willpower. SL secretly slowly absorbs the Blood Pool into her world to keep the benefits to herself. After days of fighting, SL triumphs over King Duo Luo, but not before he fires another flare. The Grand Elder of Infinite Floor comes and SL defeats him as well with the Blood Pool, but then the Pool’s side effects kick in after she finishes capturing all three souls. SL falls unconscious.
SL wakes up in a carriage. Her world’s condition is improving. Her Sky Spirit Water has improved to Immortal Spirit Water. SL has been picked up by a caravan heading for Fire City, led by Young Master Chu Shaoqing. After taking a bath and cleaning up her bloody face, SL current appearance is that of a blend of her own and NL’s faces. She’s still using the name Su Liuyun. Chu Shaoqing mentions obtaining SL an opportunity in the Magma Sea to improve her cultivation. SL claims to be a member of the Seven Great Houses of the Central Empire, Clan Su. SL offends their Chu Clan Grandmaster level Apothecary by refusing to let him examine her.
The caravan is attacked at night by crossbowmen. Little White Dragon flits around sabotaging crossbow bolts until the caravan guards beat the attackers back. SL is helping them in secret, they feel grateful to whoever is helping, but they think SL herself is a useless leech. After the first attack, they learn that the bandits are being led by an Imperial level Apothecary called Ta Baling. SL starts to consistently bring out her phoenix while using her Su Liuxing cover. Chu Shaoqing urges SL to run away by herself, making her think well of him. This makes NL quite jealous and SL has to pacify him by complaining about Chu Shaoqing. The caravan is attacked and SL takes on the appearance of a veiled young girl in white to defend it. Ta Baling retreats because he’s already poisoned everyone. SL leaves as well and comes back as Su Liuyun to heal everyone. They agree to a reward for SL and leave before Ta Baling can come back.
10862 The Chu’s explain that the Lava Lord of Fire City has three Kings for subordinates, and that their Chu Clan is one of the six Clans under the Divine Wealth King. Chu Shaoqing is in love with the White Fairy SL dressed up as. SL distracts him from talking further about her by going to meet his elder brother. Chu Shaojiang seems too feminine and off in some way to SL. Chu Shaojiang also seems suspicious of SL as well. SL and Chu Shaoqing tour Fire City in a modern like car. SL learns that Suzaku True God, founder of Fire City, once fought a great battle against her father here. They encounter a troublemaker called Lei Jiebao who is scamming Chu Shaoqing over an already resolved bet.
10874 SL takes this opportunity to make a new bet. Lei Jiebao declares it to be a skiing competition, where they race while performing 720 spins. Young Master Sink [Chen, two Chen families here], a third party, is there to act as referee. Chu Shaoqing goes first and loses the bet when he is struck by Lei Jiebao. SL doubles the bet and runs him over during the race in revenge. Lei Jiebao tries to increase the bet by 5 times, but SL rejects him, saying she doesn’t have the money. Lei Jiebao then gives SL extremely favorable terms to get her to agree. SL agrees, and leaves him in her snow dust the whole time. He never gets a chance to cheat.
10882 SL decides to go shopping when Chu Shaoqing is not around. A boy with an odd background called Ye Sang offers to guide SL around for a fee, and even show her the black market. SL buys bombs and all sorts of illegal weaponry, plus some eggs that can be thrown on the ground to instantly summon aircraft and other tools. While leaving, an old nobleman, later called His Highness, falls sick right into SL’s arms. Young Master Sink and others arrive after she treats him. SL leaves first. Dr. Stone is brought over by Chen Liu and discovers SL’s amazing handiwork. The old man is the Divine Wealth King. The other two leaders in the City are Divine Martial King and Divine High Priest. They started looking for Divine Wealth King’s savior.
10887 SL meets up with Chu Shaoqing and they view the Founding Father Building from the Golden Crow Hall restaurant. Everytime he’s overly friendly, SL has to keep him at a distance to prevent NL from getting too jealous. SL uses this opportunity and later that night as well to scout Founding Father Building’s security. The building guards Fire City Lord’s safety during his weak period. She is spotted almost immediately by building security and someone from the Chu Estate who tails her. SL retreats and hides without issue.
10891 Meanwhile, Divine Wealth King’s people work on tracking the Divine Apothecary that saved him. They find Ye Sang because of the overly generous tip SL gave him. From there, they follow the breadcrumbs and realize it’s Su Liuxing. The grandson and heir to Divine Wealth King, Young Master Sink goes to the Chu Estate to look for SL. Chu Shaoqing raises a big fuss and gets locked up by his mother. SL follows Young Master Sink without a word, understanding his intentions. Chu Shaojiang slanders SL while she’s away. Young Master Sink’s group asks SL if she can cure Divine Wealth King. SL’s simple affirmative that she can and that she is a Divine Apothecary angers Dr. Stone, a newly promoted Imperial level Apothecary. Divine Wealth King wants a private conversation.
10896 SL had been informed earlier by Steward Jiang that Divine Wealth King is actually the 8th Elder of Golden Crow Hall. In their private meeting, he kowtows and acknowledges her. He has doubts on her being a Divine Doctor but turns around upon learning her teacher is Grandmaster Rong Yun. SL diagnoses him as having a Cloud bug. SL hands over a list of materials needed to cure him and the King has his people gather them. SL makes the pill in front of Dr. Stone, shocking him at her skill and speed. SL gives him some pointers and he promotes to half step Divine Apothecary while making the pill for Divine Wealth King. Dr. Stone worships her as Master, but SL refuses. Divine Wealth King also finds it inappropriate because he calls himself SL’s servant in private, how can he let Dr. Stone call his Master Teacher? They give the pill to Divine Wealth King and SL extracts two Cloud bugs during the operation. SL explains that the Cloud bug is used to control and monitor its victim. SL activates the extracted Cloud bug and its eyes beam an image on the wall, showing Lava City Lord. Divine Wealth King becomes angry upon realizing what’s going on. SL and the others leave him to his thoughts. Young Master Sink takes his opportunity to thank SL for saving his grandfather. Divine Wealth King calls SL back to talk about the Cloud bug. They reason that Lava City Lord might be doing this because Emperor Xuanyuan suspects a connection between Divine Wealth King and SL. He promises to research this for her and get to the bottom of it within a day. Meanwhile, they gossip about the two other Kings. Divine Martial King is a glutton for good food and owns the Yushang Pavilion. Divine High Priest is a straight arrow workaholic. Divine Wealth King tries to get SL stay but she doesn’t want to implicate him and insists on going back to the Chu’s.
10908 SL goes back to the Chu Estate and clears things up with them. Chu Shaoqing offers to take SL out for a meal upon hearing her stomach rumble. Chu Shaojiang offers to take them to Yushang Pavilion, Chu Shaoya comes too. They notice how empty the three story building is and our silently told by a familiar waiter that Divine Martial King is within. Upon learning this, Chu Shaoqing goes to try and meet Divine Martial King to everyone’s protests. Chu Shaojiang and Shaoya leave first, leaving SL all by herself. SL charms her way into the kitchen and makes a spicy fish dish, which according to Divine Wealth King, is what Divine Martial King is addicted to. SL believes Chu Shaojiang is trying to get Shaoqing killed, which coincides with her wanting to save him. The cooks of the kitchen are amazed at the dish. SL used spices grown from her own world. The host of Yushan Pavilion, Sheng Wen, is Divine Martial King’s own younger brother. He smells the dish and immediately barges into the kitchen. SL’s let’s him taste it after finding out who he is. He does an on the spot interview of her cooking skills. SL’s excuse for doing this is a bet with Chu Shaoqing claiming her own cooking is better than the restaurant’s and that she’ll prove it. Chu Shaoqing then gets kicked out of the restaurant at this time from trying to see Divine Martial King. SL leaves with him back to the Chu Estate. Chu Shaoqing gets in an arguement with his mother. Chu Shaojiang fans the flames to make it worse and further estrange Shaoqing.
10914 Soldiers from the Divine Martial King’s Estate arrive at the Chu Estate. Naturally, they all seem to think they’re here for Chu Shaoqing for having offending the King, then they think it’s SL’s fault when they ask for her. Then Chu Shaojiang tries to sabotage the invitation from the Sheng Wen to join the Divine Martial King’s Estate, but Chu Shaoqing states SL has offended the Divine Wealth King which further helps SL’s case. The Chu’s have no idea what happened with the Divine Wealth King.
10916 SL meets the Divine Martial King and judges he’s definitely not a good person. SL is subjected to a truth potion, so SL puts on a performance of being affected. SL passes. SL is instructed she needs to cook a different meal for the King everyday. SL lost track of her little phoenix briefly and when it comes back, it’s dirty and has an exotic flame in it’s mouth. It’s even more exotic than the one Little Divine Dragon once absorbed. Little Black Dragon pops out of her space to lick up the flames on the spot. He informs her it’s the Origin Flame. They interrogate Little Phoenix and it confesses it got the flames from the kitchen. SL smiles, speculating that it’s possible Divine Martial King is unaware of how rare Origin Flame is.
10921 SL goes to the kitchen and is introduced but met with disdain as she doesn’t look like she’s ever worked. Little Phoenix leads SL to a flowerbed in the middle of the kitchen where teh Origin Flame is. It’s guarded by a formation, meaning it’s owned by the King? SL goes back to her room with the excuse of thinking about tomorrow’s dish. All the routes are monitored so she has her pets dig tunnels at night. It’s not as if Divine Martial King has never thought others would dig at it from underground. The formation blocks them. Just as Little Phoenix had claimed before, the formation is nothing to it and it rushes in by itself. It comes back with a lightning like fire that it’s quickly absorbing. Little Black Dragon rushes over to also drain the fire. He glares at Little Phoenix when they quickly run out of fire. Little Phoenix retreats behind SL. SL coaxes her into taking Little Black Dragon with her. They try but it doesn’t work out. SL reasons that since the City worships Suzaku, perhaps Little Phoenix is a decendant is able to get in? Little Black Dragon is furious, feeling himself the emodiment of fire and is insulted that Little Phoenix and come and go as she pleases. Little White Dragon chose water when they split bodies. SL placates him saying among the four cities they have yet to visit, there must be one where he is the Chosen One.
10925 While Little Phoenix and Little Black Dragon feed, SL gets Little Phoenix to turn over some feathers and a mouthful of blood for her to study the formation. SL learns it’s her blood that’s the key and is able to use it to let Little Black Dragon and herself in. They discover a world differet than the one where she found her Fire Lotus. The clumps of flame are scattered randomly about. These flames are a level of existence higher than Fire Lotus. All three start to absorb the fire. SL runs out of time and has to return. She takes some of the fire into her world and leaves her two pets to continue absorbing fire.
10927 SL goes to prepare another fish dish. Divine Martial King and his brother, Sheng Wen, are eating a meal. SL’s dish is sent over and at first they are not impressed by its appearance. They invite Dr. Chu (formerly Dr. Stone), a half step God level Apothecary to check it for poison. He detects nothing but invites himself to their meal because of how appetizing the SL’s fish is to him. Sheng Wen and Dr. Chu completely ignore Divine Martial King as they gobble the fish up. The King keeps on complaining about how the fish doesn’t seem that impressive until he eats it. They quickly devour it and are impressed enough to order another dish from SL. Chef Zhao makes a disturbance during their meal and is punished. SL herself is excited because the fire she absorbed into her world is able to be used by NL to recreate his body. She gets interrupted again by the new order.
10931 Chef Zhao attacks SL as soon as she enters the room. Nothing comes of it. Divine Martial King and SL have a more or less meaningless conversation where she almost gets in trouble, but doesn’t. Chef Zhao is killed.
