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

The snow fox conjured an ice blade and began cutting and eating flesh from the giant wolf's body.

Feng Jiutian also tore off a wolf leg and started eating. When he was halfway through eating, Jiuyao had already finished one wolf leg and tore off another leg to eat.

Looking at Jiu Yao's small stature, Feng Jiu Tian felt that both wolf legs weighed the same as her, but she didn't say it out loud.

As Feng Jiutian ate, he discovered that the giant wolf's meat also contained a rich amount of earth element. After he ate it, the pale yellow earth element in his dantian seemed to solidify a bit more.

At the same time, I felt a subtle earth element seep into my muscles, which made me feel much more energetic.

After the human, the beast, and the demon had eaten their fill, the giant wolf's enormous body remained. Knowing it was time to fulfill her promise to Xiao Jin, Feng Jiutian called Xiao Jin out.

"You can eat the rest of the meat."

"Thank you, Master!" Little Gold happily ate the giant wolf's meat.

Feng Jiutian calmed his mind and looked at the five golden lights in his dantian. The most dazzling and enormous of them was the fire element that had obtained the Crimson Lotus Night Flame. The size of the fire element was undoubtedly the largest among the five elements. Next was the earth element, while the other three were of similar size.

It seems that the reason why the earth element is larger than the other three is probably related to the meat of the giant wolf that it just ate.

Thinking about this, Feng Jiutian couldn't help but have a bold conjecture.

The second level of the Phoenix Tower, although one cannot use spiritual power, is also mostly devoid of strong magical beasts, though they live a more arduous life. This place is for testing one's character; only those with a steadfast mind can pass the test of the second level.

What is most important for a strong person? A resilient and unyielding spirit.

Even with his decisive and ruthless nature, the inner demons he encountered while advancing from the second to the third level nearly led him astray. This demonstrates the perilous nature of the second level.

Besides temperament, becoming a strong person also requires great strength.

Upon entering the third level, Feng Jiutian discovered that she could use spiritual power.

The magical beasts were mostly of the fifth rank or higher, and the person who ate one of them felt that the elements in his body had been strengthened, and his physical strength had also increased.

Therefore, this third level is likely to provide those who attempt to ascend the tower with an opportunity to replenish their strength.

Thinking this through, Feng Jiutian realized that he couldn't afford to use poison whenever he encountered a troublesome magical beast. After all, the meat of the magical beasts on this level seemed to be very beneficial to his cultivation.

Having made up her mind, Feng Jiutian decided to search for powerful magical beasts on the third level tomorrow. This way, she could cultivate the coordination of her five elements and also verify whether her analysis was correct.

Feng Jiutian fell into a deep sleep while holding the golden egg.

Early the next morning, Feng Jiutian ate some dry rations and left the cave. He then began his hunting adventure.

Within a month, Feng Jiutian experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small. The most dangerous one was the ice-type demonic snake in front of him. This ice-type demonic snake had reached the fifth level of strength in the Phoenix Tower. Originally, Feng Jiutian had released Xiao Jin to help, but who would have thought that the snake would whip Xiao Jin unconscious with its tail.

You should know that Little Gold is a sixth-tier magical beast outside.

Fortunately, there was the Realgar Powder that Xuanjizi had asked Feng Jiutian to refine. When the ice snake rushed over, Feng Jiutian first used the Realgar Powder to ambush it. Then, when the ice snake was in pain, Feng Jiutian seized the opportunity to cut open the ice snake's vital spot with a dagger.

But it was swept away by the Ice Serpent's final counterattack before it died.

Back then, the three-eyed iron-headed snake guarding the Blazing Sun Fruit was instantly turned into a pool of blood after being sprinkled with this realgar powder. Unexpectedly, this level five ice demon snake was only in pain and its strength was greatly reduced, but it did not lose its ability to fight back.

Although the Ice Serpent's strength was greatly reduced due to the Realgar Powder's effect, Feng Jiutian was still forced to cough up blood. However, all of this was worthwhile when she saw the dead Ice Serpent on the ground.

After taking the demonic core out of the ice snake's head and throwing it into the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, Feng Jiutian dragged the ice snake to a cave.

"Girl, your strength has been stabilized at the peak of Saint Master in the past few days of battle. The only way to advance to the level of Contract Master is probably to find a Contract Master manual. However, with the combination of the Blazing Sun Fruit, the Emerald Spirit Fruit, and the Ice Demon Serpent you just threw in, the Barrier Breaking Pill can be refined."

"Think about it. Gather more medicinal herbs and advance to the level of advanced alchemist. Then I'll help you watch over things, and you can try to refine this Breakthrough Pill. That way, you can also advance to the level of Medicine Master. However, even with my help, there's still a possibility that the Breakthrough Pill will fail. After all, you're only an intermediate alchemist right now. There's only one set of these materials."

Xuanji Zi said calmly.

Feng Jiutian considered it for a moment.

The Breakthrough Pill was indeed extremely precious, but she also hoped to break through as soon as possible. Moreover, she believed in herself, and with Xuanji Zi's help, she was not afraid of failing in refining the Breakthrough Pill.

Since that's the case, Feng Jiutian decided to give it a try.

"Understood. I will gather more medicinal herbs in the next few days and start refining pills."

A faint smile appeared on Xuanji Zi's face. What he liked most about his disciple was his spirit of facing difficulties head-on without fear of hardship. So he didn't mention the possibility of the Breakthrough Pill failing again.

"There are still some medicinal herbs stored in the Void Spirit Cauldron, as well as those you collected along the way into the Phoenix Tower. Since you've already decided, let's start refining pills tonight," Xuanji Zi said with a satisfied smile.

Feng Jiutian didn't hesitate either. He calmed his mind and entered the Void Spirit Space. Then, Xuanji Zi threw over a dozen soul scrolls at him.

"I had stored quite a few of the medicinal materials needed for these pills in the Void Spirit Cauldron. Now you can begin refining them. Each pill will yield ten pills. Once you've finished refining them, I'll give you a new pill formula."

"If you can advance to the level of Medicine Master, you will be able to view the Myriad Medicine Manual on this Void Spirit Cauldron. At that time, you will be able to master more pill formulas."

In the path of alchemy, the most important thing is mastering the heat, followed by experience. Every top alchemist possesses a vast amount of information about pill formulas.

Xuanji Zi's request this time was twofold: to enrich Feng Jiutian's pill formulas and to train her ability to control the heat.

Feng Jiutian opened a pill formula, read it carefully, and then memorized it.

The Spirit Ascension Pill is a mid-level elixir that can raise the user's level by one rank. It is effective for users below the Saint Master level.

This is also a good thing. Let Ji Tianzuo use it to train the assassin guild he plans to organize.

The Assassin Guild was also a force within him, which would be of great help to him in the future. Without hesitation, Feng Jiutian took out all the dozen or so medicinal herbs required in the pill formula and began to refine them.

It might take an ordinary alchemist a day to refine a Spirit Ascension Pill, but Feng Jiutian had the Crimson Lotus Night Flame, which greatly shortened the refining and pill formation time. She refined three Spirit Ascension Pills in one day.
