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

Feng Jiutian's head was throbbing from Feng Zhi and Qiang Huan's incessant chatter. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, you two go out first. I'll tidy myself up and be out soon."

Seeing that Feng Jiutian seemed to be in a bad state, Feng Zhi and Qiang Huan stopped playing around and just told Feng Jiutian to hurry up before leaving.

After the two left, Feng Jiutian called Xuanjizi out: "Old man, do you know what exactly happened last night?"

Xuanji Zi was actually similar to Feng Jiutian; both were drawn to the spinning gears in Qi Mo's eyes and then inexplicably lost consciousness. However—

Xuanji Zi pondered, "I just checked Jiuyao's condition. She has calmed down, and the Void Space is fine too."

Feng Jiutian frowned: "So, this Qi Mo came to help me last night?"

Xuanji Zi nodded: "Based on the current results, that's the case."

After thinking for a moment, Feng Jiutian called out the guard. He was ordered by Mo Shaoxie to stay by her side to protect her, and she believed that the guard must not have left.

Sure enough, the guard soon appeared, and Feng Jiutian asked him about what happened last night.

However, to Feng Jiutian's surprise, this highly skilled and accomplished guard had no idea that someone had come last night.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. If the guards had discovered that someone had broken into Feng Jiutian's room, they certainly wouldn't have remained silent.

Unable to get any information from the guards, Feng Jiutian had no choice but to give up and wave them away.

What Feng Jiutian didn't know was that the guards quickly realized something was amiss and immediately reported it to Mo Shaoxie.

After the guards left, Feng Jiutian pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "Qi Mo is too mysterious. He does things unpredictably, leaving people completely baffled. It seems I'll have to take a trip to Nanning Kingdom when I have the chance!"

When Feng Jiutian arrived at the hall, the elders of the organizing committee had been waiting for her for quite some time, but none of them showed any impatience.

The elder at the head stepped forward and said, "Miss Jiutian, you've finally arrived. You must have had a long competition. Have you had enough rest?"

Feng Jiutian had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him and went straight to the point: "Elder, what exactly is the reward for this competition? Tell me."

The elder didn't show any surprise at Feng Jiutian's direct approach. The mysterious reward after the Four Kingdoms Tournament was different every year, but it was always something that everyone dreamed of. He had seen too many impatient young people, so Feng Jiutian's performance was not surprising.

The elder said, "Miss Jiutian, this year is a little different from previous years. This year's competition ended earlier than usual, but it was just as exciting. After discussion, the organizing committee decided that the reward for you is not a treasure, but an opportunity!"

"Opportunity?" Feng Jiutian frowned. "What opportunity?"

The elder chuckled, his expression somewhat mysterious: "Miss Jiutian, have you ever heard of the Phoenix Tower?"

"Phoenix Tower?"

"The Phoenix Tower is located at the border of four countries. It requires the combined efforts of at least five Saint Masters to open. Inside, there are all kinds of rare treasures and unique skills. If you are lucky enough to go inside and train, it would be a great opportunity that anyone would want to seize!"

It has everything?

Is there really such a magical place?

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

"Don't listen to that elder's boasting. It's true that there are treasures in the Phoenix Tower, but those who enter cannot cultivate, use any spells, or use battle qi. They will become no different from ordinary people. However, the magical beasts that live inside are not subject to this restriction. It can be said that it is full of dangers. If an ordinary person goes in, there is no way they can come out alive!"

Xuanji Zi's voice echoed in Feng Jiutian's mind.

Feng Jiutian understood. So, if there weren't so many restrictions, the four kingdoms would probably have fought tooth and nail for the Phoenix Tower long ago. How could it have remained a forbidden area for the four kingdoms?

Feng Jiutian's face showed a mocking expression: "Although the Phoenix Tower has rare and precious materials and unique skills, it also contains all kinds of magical beasts. It's not certain whether you can come back alive after going in. What treasures are you after? Can this be considered a reward?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances, and one of them couldn't help but say, "Feng Jiutian, the Phoenix Tower is a place that countless people dream of entering but cannot obtain. Don't be ungrateful!"

Feng Jiutian sneered and did not reply.

Seeing Feng Jiutian's arrogant attitude, the elder also got angry and was about to speak.

At this moment, the leading elder coughed heavily, glared at the elder, and then looked at Feng Jiutian and smiled, "Miss Jiutian, please don't be angry. It was our oversight. With Miss Jiutian's abilities, surviving inside is not difficult. However, since Miss Jiutian has brought it up, we can also prepare a reward for Miss Jiutian. How about a high-level cultivation technique plus ten high-level pills?"

A scroll of advanced cultivation techniques and ten high-grade pills—especially the ten high-grade pills—this was truly an extremely generous reward, and many people looked at Feng Jiutian with envy.

However, for Feng Jiutian, the least important thing was the pills. She thought for a moment and shook her head.

The elder who had just reprimanded Feng Jiutian immediately shouted angrily, "Feng Jiutian, you're too greedy! A high-level cultivation technique, plus ten pills, what more could you want?"

Feng Jiutian remained noncommittal: "Advanced cultivation techniques are barely acceptable, but as for ten pills, in my opinion you would be better off giving me a scroll of pill formulas."

A prescription?

The leading elder keenly sensed the implication behind Feng Jiutian's words, and looked at Feng Jiutian with surprise: "You are an alchemist?"

Feng Jiutian did not deny it.

Not denying it is tantamount to admitting it!

At this moment, many people's gazes toward Feng Jiutian changed once again.

This Feng Jiutian is actually an alchemist!

The reason why elixirs are so precious is fundamentally because alchemists are so rare.

The requirements for becoming a qualified alchemist are extremely stringent.

First, one must possess both fire and wood elements in their body. This alone excludes the vast majority of people. Not to mention, alchemists also need strong mental power to support their alchemy.

The leading elder clasped his hands in a fist salute to Feng Jiutian: "I didn't expect that Miss Jiutian, at such a young age, would be an alchemist. My apologies for my lack of respect!"

If Feng Jiutian was merely a respectable junior in terms of cultivation, then his identity as an alchemist elevated his status to a whole new level, making him someone even Feng Jiutian had to treat with utmost care.
