Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 489 The Only Reward
The frog that Lyon chose seemed to have divine assistance on the field, overcoming all obstacles and finally winning first place, earning him ten copper coins.

Having earned ten copper coins, Lyon didn't continue betting—given his current status, he believed fate had its own plans, and it would be difficult for him to lose such a small competition—and went to buy a sizzling, fragrant charcoal-grilled frog.

Leon found a quiet and comfortable corner to sit down with his charcoal-grilled frog. He finished it in a few bites, wiped the grease from his mouth, and prepared to look at the golden finger reward he had just received. This golden finger reward was the key to his success; one should never forget one's roots.

"Eternity—you have people above you, but I have no one above me, becoming the supreme god."

"The only reward: Primordial Purple Qi."

Upon seeing the golden finger reward he had just received, even though Leon had already figured out many things and his mind had become more open-minded, he still couldn't help but be moved, revealing an expression of shock and ecstasy.

He certainly knew what the Primordial Purple Qi was.

The Primordial Purple Qi is undoubtedly one of the core settings in the prehistoric fantasy novels. Originating in the time before the separation of primordial chaos and the opening of the universe, it consists of fifty streams, of which forty-nine evolved into the Heavenly Dao, and one escaped, representing a sliver of life. As innate Qi, it is regarded as the foundation of all Daoist arts, and those who obtain it can glimpse the Great Dao and achieve supreme divine status.

Lyon closed his eyes and focused his mind on sensing the primordial purple energy.

The Primordial Purple Qi is not a tangible object, but a supreme power, belonging to the origin of the universe. However, it cannot be used directly; it must be refined over time. The amount of information contained in the Primordial Purple Qi is simply too exaggerated; Leon cannot even imagine how much time it would take to refine it.

Regardless, Lyon is certain that if he could refine the Primordial Purple Qi containing the laws of heaven and earth, besides immense power, any spells, divine arts, or spiritual energy would be nothing more than origami folded into different patterns in his eyes. Moreover, refining even a portion of it would be enough to benefit him immeasurably.

It was at this moment that Leon felt something was suddenly missing in his heart, a sense of emptiness.

He finally realized something: after obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi, his cheat ability might be gone, and he would no longer be able to obtain cheat rewards. However, if he wanted to obtain any supernatural powers or spells, he could obtain them all by refining the Primordial Purple Qi.

Is it possible that...?

Lyon muttered to himself. It was a sudden thought of his. Perhaps he never had any cheat ability at all, or perhaps his cheat ability was the Primordial Purple Qi from the very beginning, but it appeared in the form of a cheat ability, in a way that was easy for him to understand.

Once he refines the Primordial Purple Qi, everything will surely be answered. Right now, we can only guess. Leon didn't spend too much time delving into the connection between the Primordial Purple Qi and his cheat ability.

Lyon looked around and realized that this bustling square was definitely not the ideal place for him to refine the Primordial Purple Qi. He waved his hand lightly and instantly disappeared from the spot, turning into a rainbow light and vanishing into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the volcanic island that he knew so well.

Sharon knew Leon was back when she saw the rainbow streak across the sky. That spell that transformed into a rainbow was something she, as a Netherwing, could never learn, no matter how hard she tried.

"Dad, you're back!" Sharon jumped for joy when she saw Leon, throwing herself into his arms. No matter how long she rotated through various departments or observed politics in the Kingdom of Zhen Dan, she would always be her father's innocent and naive daughter.

Leon let Sharon wrap her arms around his neck, nuzzling her face against his chest. He spun her around in his arms, ruffled her soft, short hair, and then put her down. "We want some too!"

"We want it too!"

Sheeta and Tana were originally in dragon form. Upon discovering Leon in human form, they immediately used magical items to transform into adorable twin lolis. Apart from one wearing an emerald and the other a green tourmaline, their hair and clothing were exactly the same. They pounced on Leon from the left and right.

He kissed Sheeta's rosy cheeks, then made sure to kiss Tana as well. He told Sheeta that he must not forget Tana. Leon was experienced and would never neglect either of his daughters. Finally, he took out a small gift he had prepared beforehand, which made the twin daughters smile.

Lyon's gaze swept over them unintentionally and he noticed Tassera standing quietly to his side, looking at him intently. She smiled and said, "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

“You’re still the same, but your demeanor is completely different from before.” Tassera thought for a moment. “I don’t know exactly how to put it.”

Lyon said softly, "I am who I am, and I will always be who I am."

Tassera's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, unsure of how to begin. After a moment's thought, she changed the subject and asked, "Where did you go during your long absence?"

“Many places.” Leon recalled for a moment, organizing his thoughts. “First, I checked out the Redcrown Desert and met a follower, my follower, a teenage red dragon. Then I went from the Astral Plane to the Chaos Sea, which was full of chaos, but it was still quite fun. Then I went to the Scorching Hell…”

“Do you remember the Shackled Demon General Malahix?” Leon turned to Tassera. “I killed it to stop it from constantly trying to cause you trouble.”

"The master of that Orpharos demon?" Tassera raised an eyebrow, her gentleness reserved only for her close friends and family. "It allowed it to live for several more decades; it should thank us properly."

Lyon nodded and continued, "Shangri-La is really beautiful, but being too perfect isn't good... You would never guess that I encountered the Beast Lord in the Longevity Garden, an immortal spirit transformed from a legendary beast."

"Having been to so many places, I still prefer the material plane." Leon turned his head slightly, glanced at Tassera, his eyes full of tenderness, "Who can blame him when my favorite wife is in the material plane... um, and my lovely daughter."

“Me too.” Tassera couldn’t help but smile.

An empire is insignificant in Lyon's eyes; his vision encompasses the multiverse and all the worlds. But the Kingdom of Zhen Dan is different; it was built by him, so of course he cares and inquires about its development.

After spending some time with Tassera, Cecilia, Fiora, and others, Leon climbed to the top of the volcano, sank into the crater, and finally prepared to begin refining the Primordial Purple Qi.

The power and information contained in the Primordial Purple Qi were simply too great, like a vast universe. Even for Leon at his current level, just trying to refine the Primordial Purple Qi and gently lifting the hazy veil on its surface almost caused his body and brain to burst.
