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

Feng Jiutian continued on his journey, and within a short hour, this situation occurred four or five times. Besides being exhausted, Feng Jiutian was also in a sorry state.

Every magical beast you encounter here is of rank three or higher, and their rank three cannot be measured by the standards of rank three in the outside world.

The third-tier magical beasts here are enough to contend with the sixth-tier Little Gold. If it weren't for Jiu Yao, Feng Jiu Tian's situation would probably be much more miserable!

However, despite the miserable journey, Feng Jiutian discovered quite a few spiritual herbs along the way. Although they were not high-grade medicinal materials, they were just right for refining mid-grade pills.

Xuanji Zi said at the right time, "Since you can't cultivate here, then you should practice your alchemy skills more often when you have time. This will greatly benefit the growth of your spiritual power."

Feng Jiutian nodded. Although this place was dangerous, it was also a paradise for gathering herbs. No wonder people from the outside world both loved and hated the Phoenix Tower!

Feng Jiutian found a cave, cleaned it up, and was about to find some firewood to start a fire when she suddenly felt someone watching her.

"Who?"

Feng Jiutian immediately looked up alertly, but there was no unusual movement around him.

Feng Jiutian frowned. In fact, she had felt this way since she entered the second floor of the Phoenix Tower, but she hadn't paid much attention to it at first. Now, however, the feeling was becoming more and more obvious. Feng Jiutian always trusted her intuition, and she was certain that someone or something else was watching her!

After a moment, the feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared, and there was still no movement around.

Xuanjizi floated out from the illusory space. He had used his soul power to investigate several times, but he had not found anything amiss.

Feng Jiutian showed no sign of surprise. She calmly started a fire and took care of herself.

Having only been on the second level for a few hours, Feng Jiutian felt utterly exhausted. She moved a rock to seal the entrance to the cave and then fell asleep.

Inside the Phoenix Tower, day and night are no different from the outside world, and the moon in the sky emits a faint, cold light.

At this moment, under the moonlight, a dark figure suddenly flashed by. The figure's face was not visible. He stood at the entrance of Feng Jiutian's cave, seemingly hesitant.

In the end, she still left.

The next day, Feng Jiutian woke up from her sleep. Sleeping with the golden egg in her arms had become a habit of hers, but when she woke up today, she felt that the golden egg seemed to have gotten a little bigger, whether it was her imagination or not.

Feng Jiutian called Xuanjizi out to take a look, but Xuanjizi didn't notice any change in the golden egg. He didn't even think that the golden egg was really an egg. He only kept quiet because he saw Feng Jiutian's stubbornness.

Feng Jiutian pursed her lips and put the golden egg into her ethereal space. At this moment, she did not notice that the golden egg and the key, which had been fused together, had separated again.

Feng Jiutian found some rattan, wove a simple basket, and went out to gather herbs.

Since she couldn't cultivate here, Feng Jiutian planned to take advantage of this time to hone her alchemy skills.

It must be said that although the Phoenix Tower is dangerous, there are also many high-quality medicinal herbs. Feng Jiutian hadn't gone far, but he had already reaped a great harvest.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and prepared to finish work. Her gaze drifted casually, and she suddenly noticed that on a mountain peak not far away, there was a Blazing Sun Fruit growing!

The Blazing Sun Fruit is one of the raw materials for refining the Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Breakthrough Pill, a high-grade elixir, has simple ingredients, but requires at least a Master Pharmacist level to successfully refine it. It has always been highly sought after and is extremely rare!

The reason is simple: the greatest effect of the Barrier-Breaking Pill is—

Ignore probability and break through level barriers!

In other words, when a cultivator reaches the peak of a certain level, they only need to take one Breakthrough Pill to immediately and successfully advance to the next level without any side effects.

Such efficacy is enough to drive anyone crazy for it!

A fiery glint flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes. The Blazing Sun Fruit could only grow in the most intense and yang environments, and it was always a rare find. She hadn't expected to find one here.

However, she did not rush over. Feng Jiutian knew that most rare and precious materials were guarded by strange beasts.

Feng Jiutian chose a secluded spot and lay down, carefully releasing her spiritual energy.

Time passed quickly, and most of the day was over. There was no unusual activity around the Blazing Sun Fruit, and no magical beasts appeared. Feng Jiutian did not make any rash moves.

Too much calm is the greatest unrest. The Blazing Sun Fruit is an excellent tonic for magical beasts, but no magical beast has tried to get its hands on it. This is enough to prove that the magical beast guarding this place is extremely difficult to deal with!

As darkness fell, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the distant horizon, and the moon rose.

Feng Jiutian stared intently at the Blazing Sun Fruit until late at night, when the grass around the fruit suddenly twitched.

A moment later, a slightly slender figure slowly swam towards the Blazing Sun Fruit.

Although it was the middle of the night, Feng Jiutian's eyesight was still good enough for her to see the appearance of the demonic beast clearly.

It was a triangular iron-headed snake with a bright red body. It was not large, but its body was four or five meters long, and its scarlet tongue kept flicking in and out.

What caught Feng Jiutian's attention was not its strange appearance, but that this triangular iron-headed snake was actually a sixth-order magical beast!

This is only the second floor of the Phoenix Tower. Sixth-tier magical beasts are basically the most powerful here. No wonder she has been squatting here for so long without any other magical beasts daring to set foot in this place.

The guardian of the Fiery Sun Fruit is a sixth-tier magical beast, so obtaining the fruit will not be easy; we must plan carefully.

After observing carefully for a while, Feng Jiutian realized that it would be some time before the Blazing Sun Fruit was fully ripe. After thinking for a moment, Feng Jiutian quietly left the place.

Back in the cave, Feng Jiutian did not rest immediately, but instead entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

Xuanji Zi summoned the Void Spirit Cauldron and asked, "How do you plan to deal with that snake?"

Feng Jiutian picked through the medicinal herbs she had gathered that day, saying, "Since it's a snake, it must have something it fears. The magical beasts here are very strong; we can't fight them head-on. We have to outsmart them!"

Xuanji Zi nodded in agreement. Feng Jiutian could still control the Myriad Medicines Manual in the Void Spirit Cauldron, so he still needed to find the pill formulas for Feng Jiutian.

A moment later, Xuanjizi transmitted a scroll of pill formulas into Feng Jiutian's consciousness.

"Let's refine this Realgar Powder. Although it's not a finished pill, it's a high-grade one. With your current abilities, refining high-grade pills is a bit of a stretch, so this Realgar Powder is just right as a transition."
