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

At this moment, the snow fox also gathered its spiritual power and struck out with a palm. Unexpectedly, the alligator snapping turtle retreated into its shell, and the snow fox's palm struck the shell. The shell flashed with a faint light and then fell silent. The alligator snapping turtle hiding inside appeared to be completely unharmed.

"Old man! Isn't this thing called an alligator snapping turtle? How come it's so fast!" You should know that Xiao Jin's reaction speed is not slow, but even so, the alligator snapping turtle still bit off his tail.

"When did I say that the alligator snapping turtle was slow?" Xuanjizi said innocently.

"Then why didn't you tell us beforehand that alligator snapping turtles are agile?"

"You didn't even ask!" Feng Jiutian was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

"Stop talking nonsense. You want me to kill this alligator snapping turtle and give you its shell? It's hiding inside the shell right now, so it won't get hurt even if we attack it." Feng Jiutian was at a loss.

“Let me think about it. This alligator snapping turtle is indeed difficult to deal with, but if it’s only at the fifth level, its intelligence isn’t very high. I’ll teach you how to make a poison, and then you can just hunt some prey and leave it there for him to eat to poison him,” Xuanji Zi said after a moment’s thought.

"Snow Fox, come back." Since the alligator snapping turtle's shell was difficult to deal with, there was no point in letting Snow Fox continue attacking. Upon hearing this, Snow Fox obediently retreated.

Feng Jiutian put Xiao Jin and the snow fox into the Void Space, then turned and left.

The alligator turtle didn't chase after them; it just lay there, its two cunning eyes fixed on Feng Jiutian and his group. Once Feng Jiutian was far away, it burrowed back into the ground to guard the jade spirit fruit.

After gaining access to spiritual power, Feng Jiutian easily caught two rabbits. As darkness fell, Feng Jiutian found a cave and started a fire. Just as she was about to roast the rabbits, Jiuyao dragged a wild boar into the cave.

Feng Jiutian chuckled as she looked at the wild boar that Jiuyao had dragged back. She had just been thinking about what to use as poison bait to lure the alligator snapping turtle, and now Jiuyao had brought back a wild boar. It was like a godsend.

"Jiuyao, let's have roasted rabbit tonight. I'll borrow your wild boar as bait." After saying that, Feng Jiutian put the rabbit on a makeshift skewer and started roasting it over the campfire.

"Poison bait? Which monster are you going to poison? Let me smash it with one punch!" Jiuyao said confidently, waving his little fist.

“Alright, we found a jade spirit fruit today. The guardian beast is an alligator turtle. Little Gold, Snow Fox, and I couldn’t break its defense. Do you want to give it a try?”

"Alligator snapping turtles, what troublesome magical beasts. I tried to knock one down before, its shell was so hard, it hurt my hands. Forget it, here's a wild boar, you can use it as poison bait." As soon as he heard it was an alligator snapping turtle, a look of disgust appeared on his face, it seemed he had been disgusted by it before.

After chatting for a while, the rabbit in Feng Jiutian's hand started to sizzle and ooze oil. Feng Jiutian took out some seasonings from her virtual space, sprinkled them on, and then handed the rabbit to someone who wanted a roasted rabbit.

Jiuyao, undeterred by the heat, took a bite.

Feng Jiutian thought for a moment and released Xiao Jin to find some wild game to feast on, and then he also started eating roasted rabbit.

After finishing his meal, Jiuyao went to sleep in the virtual space.

"Old man, teach me how to concoct the poison that can subdue the alligator snapping turtle." After saying this, Feng Jiutian's mind sank and he arrived at the Void Spirit Space, where Xuanji Zi was already standing next to the Void Spirit Cauldron.

"I've prepared a poison powder for you based on the herbs in the Void Spirit Cauldron. It's a medium-level poison powder. You can make it yourself using the prescription I wrote, but it requires a bit more herbs. Good luck! I'm going to sleep now." Then, Xuanji Zi tossed a soul scroll to Feng Jiutian, found a place in the Void Spirit Space, and lay down to sleep.

Feng Jiutian understood that Xuanji Zi was practicing her alchemy skills. Without saying a word, she went to the Void Spirit Cauldron. However, when she read the soul scroll, Feng Jiutian realized why Xuanji Zi didn't even intend to watch from the side this time.

The Soul Scroll records that this poison powder requires more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs. Based on Feng Jiutian's previous refining speed, it would probably take at least sixteen hours to refine it.

However, the allure of the Jade Spirit Fruit left Feng Jiutian no room for hesitation.

Feng Jiutian took out a soul scroll from the Void Spirit Cauldron, which contained the materials written on it, and threw it into the air. A cluster of red flames instantly appeared at the tip of his right finger.

Isn't this the Crimson Lotus Night Flame I obtained after breaking through my inner demons on the second level?

Feng Jiutian was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the Crimson Lotus Night Flame would directly evolve all the fire elements within his body into Crimson Lotus Night Flame. Nevertheless, he still used the Crimson Lotus Night Flame to roast the medicinal herb.

Before long, Feng Jiutian was surprised to find that the Red Lotus Night Fire had greatly shortened the time it took to refine the medicinal herbs into a medicinal liquid.

In the past, it would take about an hour to refine this medicinal herb using ordinary fire elements, but this time, using the Crimson Lotus Night Fire, the herb was refined into a medicinal juice in less than half an hour. This discovery greatly boosted Feng Jiutian's spirits.

The time that followed passed by as Feng Jiutian focused intently on refining the medicine.

Seven hours later.

Feng Jiutian wiped the sweat from her brow with her left hand. After all, controlling the Red Lotus Night Flame to burn the medicinal herbs with such concentration was extremely mentally taxing. Even with her peak Saint Master strength, she felt a bit tired. However, seeing that the herbs had all turned into medicinal liquid, a smile appeared on Feng Jiutian's face.

Feng Jiutian concentrated his mind and controlled the Red Lotus Night Flame in his hand to gradually roast the medicinal juice into a ball of emerald green powder. Then, he took out a jade bottle and with a wave of his hand, he collected the poison powder into the bottle.

At this moment, Xuanji Zi also opened his eyes.

"You've finished practicing?" Xuanji Zi smiled as she looked at Feng Jiutian, who was covered in sweat.

"Okay, it worked. I'm going to take a nap."

"Not bad, not bad. I thought it would take you more than ten hours to refine it, but it seems that your alchemy skills have greatly improved."

"Fortunately, it's all thanks to the Crimson Lotus Nightfire I subdued before." After saying this, Feng Jiutian found a relatively flat spot in the cave and fell asleep.

The next day, Feng Jiutian woke up naturally and sat up.

It was already late afternoon outside; it was time to poison the alligator snapping turtle.

"Old man, come out here. How do I use this poison powder?" Feng Jiutian asked.

"There's no special way to use it, just sprinkle it on the wild boar. You can add some wine to it to make the poison take effect faster," Xuanji Zi said, her figure appearing in the air.

To make the poisoned bait more enticing, Feng Jiutian ignited a crimson lotus night fire in his right hand and roasted the wild boar until it was about 80% cooked. Then he sprinkled poison powder and some seasonings on it, and then took out a jar of wine from his ethereal space and poured it over the wild boar.

After finishing its task of foraging for food, Xiao Jin returned to Feng Jiutian's sleeve while she was sleeping. Upon smelling the aroma, it poked its head out.
