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

Feng Jiutian nodded, carefully reading the recipe and refining method of Realgar Powder in her mind, not missing even the smallest details.

Feng Jiutian stared at it for a full hour, then let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that even high-grade medicinal powder is so difficult to refine. I really don't know how difficult it must be to refine a fully formed high-grade pill."

Xuanji Zi smiled slightly: "The path of an alchemist is inherently difficult. Besides exceptional talent, the most important thing is experience, which can only be gained through constantly refining pills. You are still young, and there are countless possibilities for your future!"

Feng Jiutian also thought so.

She wasted no more time, quickly calmed her mind, and entered a state of alchemy.

"Three realgar plants, two sprigs of Artemisia argyi, and one honey fruit..."

While silently reciting the pill formula, Feng Jiutian methodically tossed each herb into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

To be honest, Feng Jiutian hasn't actually spent too much time on alchemy these days, but her skills are so proficient that you can no longer tell she's just a beginner alchemist.

However, she was still a little too fast, and the flames rising from the Void Spirit Cauldron were burning too intensely!

Xuanjizi quickly discovered Feng Jiutian's problem, but he did not point it out. As he said, in addition to talent, alchemy also requires rich experience, and failure is also a process of accumulating experience.

Behind every successful alchemist are countless medicinal herbs that have been burned!

As Xuanji Zi had predicted, the medicinal herbs churning in the Void Spirit Cauldron quickly lost their balance and began to scramble out of control. Feng Jiutian was startled and hurriedly increased the output of his spiritual power, but ultimately failed.

With a "bang," all the medicinal herbs in the Void Spirit Cauldron turned into black ash. However, due to the special structure of the Void Spirit Cauldron, the energy fluctuations generated by the explosion of the medicinal herbs did not overflow. This is why Xuanji Zi felt at ease letting Feng Jiutian directly refine high-level pills.

Undeterred by her first failed attempt, Feng Jiutian made some simple adjustments and began refining again.

She could vaguely sense that something was wrong with her, but she wasn't entirely sure, so she was much more careful and slower in her second attempt.

About half an hour later—

"boom!"

Another explosion occurred inside the medicine cauldron!

He failed again, but this time, Feng Jiutian did not stop. Instead, he quickly began the third refining process.

Half an hour later—

"boom!"

One hour later—

"boom!"

An hour and a half later—

"boom!"

……

More than ten hours passed quickly. From the start of refining the realgar powder until now, Feng Jiutian had exploded the medicine cauldron ten times and burned ten batches of medicinal materials. The batch she was refining now was the last batch of medicinal materials she had!

Feng Jiutian stared intently at the Void Spirit Cauldron, her mind unaffected by the ten consecutive failures. She carefully manipulated the flames within the cauldron, methodically placing all the raw materials for refining Realgar Powder into it one by one.

Golden flames enveloped the green medicinal broth, churning within the Void Spirit Cauldron. Feng Jiutian withdrew his spiritual power, constantly monitoring any slight change within the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Two hours later, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Xuanji Zi opened her tightly closed eyes and looked at the Void Spirit Cauldron. It was about to succeed!

Success was within reach, and Feng Jiutian became increasingly calm. She knew that the refining process was not yet over, and she absolutely could not let her guard down until the very last moment!

Soon, the green medicinal liquid was heated by the flames and evaporated all the moisture, leaving only some green powder.

Feng Jiutian carefully gathered the powder, and when it reached a certain point of solidification, she gave a low shout and slapped her hands on the Void Spirit Cauldron. Instantly, green medicinal powder flew out.

Feng Jiutian picked up the jade bottle that had been prepared beforehand and filled it with the medicinal powder!

"It's done!" Only now did a smile finally appear on Feng Jiutian's face.

Xuanji Zi stroked his beard, looking at Feng Jiutian with a gratified expression. From the moment Feng Jiutian began refining the Realgar Powder until the end, he hadn't uttered a single word.

Feng Jiutian herself did not come to him for help when she encountered some difficulties. Instead, she kept trying and improving. After more than ten hours of hard work, she finally succeeded in refining the realgar powder!

Xuanjizi took the jade bottle, smelled it, and nodded: "The quality is not bad."

Although this Realgar Powder is not a finished pill, it is still a high-grade medicinal powder. Being able to successfully refine it means that Feng Jiutian has the passport to enter the world of alchemy masters. Becoming a high-level alchemist is only a matter of time!

Only after refining the realgar powder did Feng Jiu finally relax.

Only when she relaxed did she feel an overwhelming wave of fatigue wash over her.

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but ask, "How much time has passed?"

Xuanjizi said, "Sixteen hours!"

Has it been that long?

Feng Jiutian clicked his tongue in amazement.

She grabbed a few things to eat and then lay down to sleep. Of course, before falling asleep, she didn't forget to hold the golden egg in her arms.

Feng Jiutian slept for more than ten hours, as refining pills consumed too much of her mental energy.

Feng Jiutian walked out of the cave. It was just past Shenshi (3-5 PM). She stretched, weighed the realgar powder in her hand, and smiled slightly.

The afternoon passed quickly, and as night fell, Feng Jiutian once again sneaked to the vicinity of the Blazing Sun Fruit.

The sixth-order triangular iron-headed snake was hiding somewhere. Feng Jiutian did not easily reveal himself, but instead, as before, found a secluded place and quietly lay down.

In the latter half of the night, the triangular iron-headed snake slithered out again. It circled the blazing sun fruit, its long, narrow, inverted triangular eyes seeming to burn with two small flames.

almost!

Feng Jiutian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly stood up from the bushes, quickly rushing towards the triangular iron-headed snake. Upon seeing someone intruding, the triangular iron-headed snake's eyes immediately turned upside down, and two venomous fangs were revealed at the corners of its mouth as it fiercely bit at Feng Jiutian.

Feng Jiutian dodged the attack of the triangular iron-headed snake, twisted her body in an incredible arc, and quickly sprinkled all the realgar powder in her hand onto the triangular iron-headed snake. Then she flew backward and quickly moved away from the triangular iron-headed snake.

All of this sounds simple, but in reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye, and every step was extremely dangerous. That was a sixth-order magical beast, and it was also highly poisonous. If one was not careful, Feng Jiutian would already be a corpse!

Covered in realgar powder, the triangular iron-headed snake immediately felt uncomfortable and rolled around on the ground in pain.
