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

Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow, not paying much attention. As long as it didn't get in his way, it was fine.

The woman seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Feng Jiutian merely glanced at her and then prepared to head to the third floor.

"Wait a minute." Just as Feng Jiu was about to enter the third floor, the woman suddenly called out.

"What?" Feng Jiu turned her head and said expressionlessly.

"Now that we can leave Phoenix Tower, do you mean..." The woman was not angry at Feng Jiutian's attitude.

"No," Feng Jiutian said distantly.

The reason I entered the Phoenix Tower wasn't just to find the young steward, but also to find the incomplete scroll of the Contract Master. Now I have absolutely no clue, and I can't let this trip be in vain.

"Alright." The woman didn't say anything more.

"By the way, it's quite a coincidence. If you're lucky enough to leave the Phoenix Tower, you can find me with this token." The woman took out a crystal-clear jade stone from her bosom and threw it into Feng Jiutian's hand.

Feng Jiutian casually took it, but unexpectedly said, "Young Master of the Alliance!" He revealed the woman's identity without hesitation, which surprised her.

"How...how did you know?" How could the person in front of me see through my identity at a glance?

"Once you get out, an elder will definitely tell you." After all, it couldn't be explained in a short time, but it could be considered as fulfilling a promise.

Feng Jiutian kept it brief, and the woman had gained some understanding of him.

"Come and see!" Feng Jiutian greeted with a fist and palm salute, and nodded in response.

The woman watched as Feng Jiutian's figure disappeared behind the blue screen, then turned and walked to the other side.

Not long after the two left, the air seemed to shift, and a figure appeared out of thin air. Staring blankly in the direction Feng Jiutian had gone, the figure seemed lost in thought.

In the blink of an eye, the person in front of him vanished!

……

Feng Jiutian turned around and watched the Alliance's young deacon enter the blue light curtain. Without lingering, he resolutely stepped into the light circle leading to the third level.

This time, there were no illusions that I experienced every time I entered the aperture. Instead, I felt a thrust that I felt when moving from the first layer to the second.

With the help of the thrust, the scenery before Feng Jiutian changed, and he arrived at a wilderness.

"Is this the third floor of the Phoenix Tower?" Feng Jiutian murmured.

Feng Jiutian looked back and saw that the light circle she had just entered had disappeared, and the blue light screen through which the Alliance's young deacon had entered was also gone. It seemed that she hadn't lied to her after all; the Phoenix Tower could only be climbed upwards, and one couldn't leave halfway through.

Then Xuanji Zi's illusory image appeared. He looked around and then said;

"Hmm, it seems we didn't encounter any illusions this time, but just to be on the safe side, see if you can summon Nine Luminaries and Little Gold."

Feng Jiutian lowered his consciousness and entered the Void Spirit Cauldron. Soon after, Jiuyao, Xiaojin, and the Snow Fox appeared beside him.

"Are we on the third floor yet? I'll go find something to eat." With that, Jiu Yao ran off.

Previously, when entering the illusion from the second to the third level, the connection with Jiu Yao and the others would be lost. Now that it can be summoned, it seems that it has indeed entered the third level. That inner demon should be generated by the Crimson Lotus Nightfire.

Just as Feng Jiutian was about to calm his mind and examine the five elements in his dantian, he suddenly felt that he could vaguely use spiritual power. With a thought, a cluster of flames danced at his fingertips. This was the Crimson Lotus Night Flame he had obtained after breaking through the inner demons in the second layer.

At this moment, Feng Jiutian discovered that he could use his spiritual power. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his spiritual power had become abundant. Unfortunately, there was still no sign of a breakthrough. It seemed that it was indeed still the influence of the incomplete Contract Master's Manual.

It seems I need to speed up my search for the incomplete manuals of the Contract Master. Feng Jiutian is confident that as long as I can obtain the other incomplete manuals, I will definitely be able to advance in rank after cultivating for a while.

Having been able to use spiritual power for a long time, Feng Jiutian decided to find a magical beast on the third level to test his skills.

With spiritual energy circulating within her body, Feng Jiutian's speed was much faster than on the second level. She also picked the herbs she encountered along the way and put them into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Xuanji Zi was overjoyed to see the medicinal herbs in his Void Spirit Cauldron increasing in number.

Just then, Feng Jiutian stopped.

Before her stood a giant tree, so thick that it would take two people to encircle it, bearing only a single, translucent, emerald-green fruit. Wasn't this the Jade Spirit Fruit, the other auxiliary ingredient that Fang Li needed for the Breakthrough Pill?

However, Feng Jiutian knew that there would definitely be a powerful demon beast guarding this fruit. After circulating his spiritual energy a few times to recover from the fatigue from the journey, Feng Jiutian picked up a small stone and threw it at the place where the jade spirit fruit was connected to the tree branch.

If the guardian beast isn't nearby, I should quickly catch the jade spirit fruit and run away. If it is, it will definitely be lured out by this pebble.

Sure enough, when the pebble was about two meters away from the jade fruit, the ground suddenly broke open, and a huge figure emerged and slapped the pebble down with a claw.

Feng Jiutian looked closely and saw that the demonic beast was three meters long, with a long mouth full of sharp teeth. It looked like a crocodile, but unlike a crocodile, it had a tortoise shell on its back.

"Old man, come out and see what this is," Feng Jiutian said to the void.

Then Xuanjizi's figure appeared.

"Don't bother me while I'm refining medicine!" Xuanji Zi said irritably before turning her gaze to the magical beast in front of Feng Jiutian.

"This...isn't this an alligator snapping turtle? They're practically extinct outside, I didn't expect there to be one here! Girl, quickly kill it! Its shell is a good thing, grinding it into powder can enhance the effects of many pills." Xuanji Zi was overjoyed when she saw the alligator snapping turtle.

"How strong is it?" When Feng Jiutian saw the jade fruit, he knew that a fierce battle was coming, but he did not back down.

"Hmm, I encountered one when I was young. It looks like this alligator snapping turtle is around level four or five? But since this is Phoenix Tower, I can't judge its exact strength."

Upon hearing that it wasn't a sixth-tier magical beast, Feng Jiutian felt relieved and summoned Xiao Jin and Xue Hu to attack. At the same time, he also condensed a Red Lotus Night Flame in his hand and threw it over.

The alligator snapping turtle watched Feng Jiutian and his group with its two small, cunning eyes without moving. It only opened its blood-red maw when Xiao Jin was next to it, ready to bite off Xiao Jin's body. Despite its large size, the alligator snapping turtle was quite fast, and it bit Xiao Jin's tail almost instantly.

Little Jin, in pain, flicked its tail, and a section of its tail was bitten off by the alligator snapping turtle.

Feng Jiutian quickly called Xiao Jin back, activated the contract technique within his body, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed into Xiao Jin's body. Then, Xiao Jin slowly grew a new tail.
