A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

She only had one night, and it was already beyond the old man's ability to open the library rashly. She did not want to put the old man in too much of a difficult position.

If the incomplete manuscript isn't found, all her efforts will be in vain.

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.

The sound of footsteps slowly approached.

"Why aren't you done yet? It's almost dawn." Jiuyao pouted and said with some dissatisfaction.

She still harbored some resentment.

She was unhappy at the thought of losing the little toy.

Feng Jiutian frowned.

The moment she saw Jiuyao, she suddenly realized that she could actually use her mental power, so why did she have to come here and search slowly?

She practices the techniques of a Contract Master, and her spiritual power is naturally unique to Contract Masters. If it really is a fragment of a Contract Master's manual, then there will definitely be a reaction.

Having made up his mind, Feng Jiutian closed his eyes and slowly enveloped each shelf with his spiritual power, carefully searching for it.

The moment Jiu Yao encountered Feng Jiu Tian's spiritual power, his expression suddenly changed drastically, turning angry and ferocious as he roared at Feng Jiu Tian.

The little girl's image vanished instantly, gradually transforming into the form of a monster, roaring as it glared at Feng Jiutian, its claws reaching out to strike her.

The old man suddenly appeared, grabbed Jiu Yao's claws, and muttered a spell.

Then Jiuyao gradually returned to her little girl form and lay asleep on the ground.

The old man stepped forward, hugged the little girl with a hint of helplessness, and looked at her with doting affection.

At the same time, he glanced sideways, his eyes filled with complicated emotions as he looked at Feng Jiutian, who was completely unaware of this.

Feng Jiutian was truly searching for the incomplete manual of the Contract Master, carefully covering the shelf with his mental energy, making sure not to cover any other areas.

After all, this is the Royal Academy's library, and she needs to follow certain rules.

Therefore, Feng Jiutian did not see the old man's complex and inquisitive expression.

Just as Feng Jiutian's spiritual power was about to cover the area, the old man flashed away, his figure carrying the little girl disappearing from the spot.

A faint light appeared in Feng Jiutian's sight.

Feng Jiutian paused for a moment, then slowly walked towards the light, proceeding smoothly all the way to the deepest part of the cave.

Feng Jiutian opened her eyes and looked at the scene before her, slightly puzzled.

The scene before us was simply too dilapidated.

The books were tattered and the shelves were worn out; they were scattered haphazardly on the ground, looking like trash.

Does such a place really contain rare fragments of the Contract Master manual?

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips, then squatted down and carefully flipped through the pages, her spiritual energy gently covering each book.

If it's not here, she'll have to return empty-handed.

Feng Jiutian was unwilling to give up this last glimmer of hope.

After searching high and low, Feng Jiutian finally found the incomplete Contract Master manual at the lowest point.

Feng Jiutian looked at the incomplete book in his hand with amusement, not knowing what to say.

She searched outside for a long time, but she didn't expect that it had been carelessly discarded here. It seemed that someone was going to throw it away as trash, but since it was a secret manual, they just left it here.

Feng Jiutian dusted off the dirt and carefully tidied it up.

Although it's an incomplete copy, I wonder if it can be connected to the one I have.

What might be useless to others is Feng Jiutian's life. Her ability to improve her strength depends entirely on this book; she absolutely cannot afford any mistakes.

Feng Jiutian opened it carefully.

The words on this page weren't as obscure and difficult to understand as the one in her hand; perhaps it was just a matter of habit, but it was actually easier to read.

Feng Jiutian read one page and couldn't help but feel alarmed.

This document records the method for making a contract with a demon.

She still clearly remembered the Royal Academy's vigilance a while ago, especially their rejection of demons, which gave Feng Jiutian a new understanding of demons.

However, this Contract Master technique can actually form contracts with demons.

Feng Jiutian secretly concealed his shock and walked up the mountain with the lantern in his hand.

Upon reaching the upper floor, the old man had been waiting for some time. Seeing the incomplete manuscript in Feng Jiutian's hand, he frowned slightly and asked subtly, "Is this what you've gone to so much trouble to get?"

If he wasn't mistaken, only the secret manuals from the early days of the Royal Academy would be in such a dilapidated state.

After all, those manuals were obscure and difficult to understand, and no one could comprehend them instantly. In addition, some very good cultivation methods emerged later, so these manuals were left in a corner, rarely visited, and gradually fell into the dust, becoming dilapidated.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiutian had obtained this secret manual.

The old man felt his doubts growing stronger.

The cultivation technique that Feng Jiutian practices is definitely not simple. Even Jiu Yao would lose control when threatened, so how powerful must this technique be?

"Yes." Feng Jiutian bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

The old man stared at Feng Jiutian, and seemed to vaguely see this woman standing at the very top of the world.

Feng Jiutian gripped the incomplete book tightly, smiling calmly.

She didn't investigate further, after all, this wasn't the right place yet. It was best to keep such a heaven-defying technique that allowed one to contract with magical beasts and even demons a secret.

Possessing great treasures and leaking wealth will only bring about one's own demise. Feng Jiutian understood this principle well.

Feng Jiutian's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "I need to borrow it for a few more days, and I will return it in about three days."

After roughly estimating the time, Feng Jiutian said calmly.

She needs to have an epiphany, and even if she sets everything aside, it will probably take her three days.

The old man gazed at Feng Jiutian with a complex expression before softly saying, "No need to return it. Consider it... a gift for you becoming a student of the academy."

The old man spoke meaningfully, then his figure vanished, leaving Feng Jiutian standing there somewhat bewildered.

Feng Jiutian lowered his gaze, staring at the incomplete book in his hand, and decisively decided to go back.

Everything else is secondary; the most important thing is to increase our strength.

Once she reaches a sufficient level, she will naturally understand the old man's meaning.

What Feng Jiutian didn't know was that after she reached that level, she actually led the Royal Academy to an even higher level.

It was then that he realized how amazing the old man was, for he had seen at a glance the tremendous achievements she had brought to the academy.

"Let's go, they've already left. Cultivation is the priority," Xuanji Zi said softly to herself, her gaze steady yet cold.

Perhaps Feng Jiutian didn't see what happened, but he saw it clearly and naturally knew what had occurred.

Feng Jiutian turned and left the pavilion, slowly stepping out of this land.

Behind them, out of Feng Jiutian's sight, the old man watched with a complicated expression and said softly, "Be careful. If necessary, I can lend a hand."

There seemed to be a slow flow of energy nearby.
