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

Every alchemist, even the lowest-ranking one, is someone everyone dreams of befriending!

Ruohan and the other three looked at Feng Jiutian with a slightly different expression. They thought they had thought highly of Feng Jiutian, but they did not expect that they had underestimated her. Not only did she have talent and speed in cultivation that were difficult for ordinary people to reach, but she also had the talent to become an alchemist!

Feng Jiutian's expression remained calm: "How about it? Are the conditions I proposed acceptable? Although the pill formula is precious, it can only be effective in the hands of an alchemist. For ordinary people, ten high-grade pills are more valuable, aren't they?"

Feng Jiutian was right. The elders exchanged glances, all showing interest.

The leading elder pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Miss Jiutian, I still hope you can choose to enter the Phoenix Tower for training."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

The elder exchanged glances with the other elders and continued, "To be honest, the Phoenix Tower has existed for a very long time. No one knows exactly when it started to exist. In the early years, countless people entered this tower, but of those people, only one in ten thousand came out alive."

Feng Jiutian was naturally aware that the Phoenix Tower was fraught with danger, but what did the elder mean by telling her this?

The elder was actually quite conflicted. If Feng Jiutian had been attracted by the rare treasures and techniques in the Phoenix Tower from the beginning, perhaps he wouldn't have had to waste his breath trying to persuade her.

However, the problem is that Feng Jiutian doesn't seem to be as interested in the Phoenix Tower as he thought.

To be honest, the conditions for opening the Phoenix Tower are extremely demanding. If they weren't forced by circumstances, they wouldn't have bothered to open it.

Seeing the elder's hesitant manner, Feng Jiutian frowned: "Elder, is there something you can't say?"

The elder shook his head: "No, alas, Miss Jiutian, do you know who has been in charge of the Four Kingdoms Grand Tournament every year?"

"Not a council deacon?"

"They are Alliance Deacons, but does Miss Jiutian know how these Alliance Deacons are formed?"

How were the Alliance Deacons formed, and what is their connection to her?

Feng Jiutian was getting impatient. She could clearly sense that the elder was deliberately avoiding the important points and beating around the bush.

"Elder, just say what you want to say. If there's something you need me to do, I can consider it. But if you continue to beat around the bush like this, then don't blame Jiutian for not giving you face."

Upon hearing Feng Jiutian's words, the elder immediately showed a wry smile, and his gaze towards Feng Jiutian became even more respectful. He had thought that Feng Jiutian was too young to understand the meaning behind his words, but he did not expect that Feng Jiutian was so perceptive and could see through his desires at a glance.

Having said all that, the elder no longer hesitated and said directly, "It's like this, three years ago, our alliance's young steward entered this Phoenix Tower for training, but we haven't heard from him since. The steward is overworked every day and misses the young steward dearly. A few days ago, he suffered a qi deviation while cultivating, so we hope that Miss Jiutian... can enter this Phoenix Tower and help us find the young steward!"

At this point, the elder's face showed some shame. He should have rewarded Feng Jiutian, but in essence, they wanted to use Feng Jiutian to do things for them.

Feng Jiutian was taken aback, and after a moment her face showed anger. What a committee! On the surface, they said they would give her a reward and an opportunity, but their real purpose was to make her work for them!

Just as Feng Jiutian was about to speak, Xuanji Zi's voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Girl, agree to them!"

Feng Jiutian was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Why?"

Xuanjizi said, "I just suddenly thought that perhaps there might be a fragment of a Contract Master's manual inside the Phoenix Tower."

"A Contract Master's Manual?" Feng Jiutian's face lit up with joy. "It really contains something like that?"

Xuanji Zi shook her head: "I can't be sure. It's just that legend has it that the Phoenix Tower contains the most rare treasures and all kinds of magical techniques in the world. You only found two parts of the incomplete Contract Master manual by chance. We have no clue about the other incomplete manuals. Perhaps, there is such an opportunity in the Phoenix Tower!"

Feng Jiutian fell silent, so this was still just a possibility. Since it was a possibility, there was also the possibility that she wouldn't find anything at all inside the Phoenix Tower!

Feng Jiutian gritted her teeth. No matter what, the Contract Master's Manual was the foundation of her cultivation. She had to find the complete manual no matter what!

Since the Phoenix Tower is so alluring, why shouldn't Feng Jiutian go inside for a visit?

Even if she couldn't find the incomplete manual of the Contract Master, she wouldn't suffer any losses in the process!

Seeing that Feng Jiutian remained silent for a long time, the elder guessed that Feng Jiutian was angry and was about to speak up to make amends when Feng Jiutian suddenly said, "Alright, I agree to enter the Phoenix Tower. I can also help you find your junior steward. As for the advanced cultivation techniques and advanced pill formulas, consider them as my reward for finding people for you!"

"You're willing to go in? That's wonderful!" Several elders smiled.

Feng Jiutian's expression was indifferent: "However, I want to make it clear beforehand that I'm only going in to help you find your young steward. I'm not sure if I can find her. She might already be dead. So, whether we can find her or not, I can only say that it's up to fate!"

Feng Jiutian's words sounded somewhat harsh to the elders, but they also found them reasonable. Without saying anything more, the elders agreed on a time to open the tower with Feng Jiutian and then left.

After the organizing committee members left, the people from the Royal Academy immediately went to Feng Jiutian's side.

Ruohan was the first to speak: "Jiutian, are you really going to that Phoenix Tower? Do you know how dangerous it is inside? Countless senior experts whose cultivation far surpasses yours have entered that tower and never come out again!"

Qiang Huan disagreed with Ruo Han's words and immediately retorted, "The Phoenix Tower is dangerous, but you all know the Lord of Pengcheng, right? The Lord of Pengcheng used to be a hoodlum, but he entered the Phoenix Tower by chance. After he came out, he was like a completely different person. Not only did he have extraordinary cultivation, but he also successfully rose to power and became the master of the entire Pengcheng! Jiu Tian, ​​I support you entering the Phoenix Tower!"

"Phoenix Tower..."

The people at the Royal Academy were arguing animatedly, each offering their own opinion.

Feng Jiutian didn't listen to a word she said. For her, once a decision was made, it was a decision, and saying anything more would be futile. Seeing that they weren't going to finish arguing anytime soon, Feng Jiutian quietly went back to her room.
