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

"I'm back," Feng Jiutian said slowly.

This decade-long journey through the desert greatly improved Feng Jiutian's character.

A passage leading to the fifth floor appeared before Feng Jiutian, and without hesitation, she led Jiuyao inside.

There are no special elemental rewards for the transition from the fourth to the fifth level.

But Feng Jiutian knew that her gains were no less than those of the previous three levels. After this trial, nothing would be able to break her spirit anymore.

Feng Jiutian took advantage of the force coming from beneath his feet and leaped to the fifth floor.

As soon as Feng Jiutian entered the fifth level, he felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly become richer. Taking a breath, he felt some subtle elements gathering in his dantian.

Training here will definitely allow you to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

However, Feng Jiutian suppressed the urge to sit down and start cultivating. Since it was a place with extremely rich spiritual energy, there must be a lot of natural treasures here.

Feng Jiutian sensed the density of the spiritual energy and chose a direction with a relatively high concentration to walk towards.

For the next two hours, Feng Jiutian didn't miss a single medicinal herb he came across, throwing them all into the Void Spirit Cauldron. Xuanji Zi's face lit up with joy at seeing so many medicinal herbs.

As she walked, Feng Jiutian stopped.

Ten meters away from her stood a tree with a fruit hanging on it. The fruit's yin and yang energies were perfectly intertwined, vaguely forming a Bagua formation from her past life's memories.

Feng Jiutian knew in his heart that this fruit was extraordinary. Looking at the faint Bagua formation, he felt an urge to reach out and take it. If it weren't for the ten years of cultivating his mind in the desert, Feng Jiutian probably would have been unable to resist reaching out.

"Old man, come out and see what this treasure is." Feng Jiutian shook his head violently. He dismissed the thought of taking it directly and instead called Xuanjizi out to take a look.

Feng Jiutian couldn't believe that such a powerful fruit wasn't protected by a heaven-defying demon beast.

Xuanji Zi vaguely revealed his form, seemingly having been sleeping inside the Void Spirit Cauldron.

"Where? What kind of fruit is it?" Xuanji Zi then saw the fruit on the tree where yin and yang energies were perfectly intertwined, and her voice trembled.

"Yin Yang Xuanlong Fruit??"

Xuanjizi's voice revealed a hint of ecstasy.

"What's wrong with the old man? What's the use of this Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit that makes you so happy?" Feng Jiutian had almost never seen Xuanji Zi so happy, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Fruit is a key ingredient in the Life-and-Death Resurrection Pill. The Life-and-Death Resurrection Pill can revive the dead and restore flesh to bones. I think you already know why I'm so overjoyed. Girl, I want it." Xuanji Zi said, her voice trembling.

Feng Jiutian then understood why Xuanji Zi was so overjoyed. After all, this might be the key to his resurrection, and Feng Jiutian would never forget how Xuanji Zi had risked his life to save her several times.

All told, Xuanji Zi had asked her for things twice: once to repair the Void Spirit Cauldron, and the other time, for this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit.

"Don't worry, old man, I will definitely get you this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit. But why don't I sense any powerful demonic beasts guarding this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit nearby?" Feng Jiutian asked, puzzled.

"Indeed, no demonic beasts are guarding this thing. Because if you hold it now, you'll die."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian's expression turned extremely grim. If it were a powerful demon beast, he and Jiuyao could at least find a way to kill it, or even poison it if necessary. But now it was the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit itself that posed a threat, which made things much more difficult.

“Girl, don’t worry. It’s true that touching the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit directly will cause instant death. That’s because when someone touches the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit, it will disrupt the mutual generation and restraint of the Yin and Yang energies on it. As a result, one of the energies will explode and kill them. However, the two of us, together with Jiu Yao using our spiritual power, should be able to pick the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Fruit.”

"As long as you pick the Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit, you can wrap it in your divine sense and throw it into the Void Spirit Cauldron and everything will be fine."

Xuanji Zi spoke slowly.

"Alright, let's get started now, otherwise we might have more trouble later," Feng Jiutian said after thinking for a moment.

"Jiuyao, come out and help me." As he spoke, Jiuyao appeared in front of Feng Jiutian.

"Wow! Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit! I've eaten two before, this fruit is really delicious!" Jiuyao looked at the Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit on the tree with drool in his mouth.

"Ahem." Xuanji Zi coughed awkwardly. Jiu Yao immediately understood.

"So you're going to refine a life-saving pill for this old man? Well then, I'll hold back my words. But Sister Jiutian, you have to find me other delicious fruits in the future!" Jiuyao smiled at Feng Jiutian.

"Hmm, there are quite a few rare and precious herbs on this fifth floor. If all else fails, I can get some medicinal herbs and refine them into some candy for you." Feng Jiutian thought of a type of lollipop in her previous life that was very effective against little girls like Jiuyao. She could refine some for Jiuyao to try when she had time.

"Then let's not delay, let's quickly take this Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Fruit," Xuanji Zi said impatiently.

Jiuyao immediately released a massive amount of divine sense power. Immediately afterward, a massive amount of divine sense also came from between Feng Jiutian's eyebrows. Although it was not as powerful as Jiuyao's divine sense, it was still much stronger than Feng Jiutian's own divine sense. This was because Xuanjizi transferred most of his divine sense power to Feng Jiutian.

Then, Feng Jiutian manipulated his divine sense to approach the Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit. He then slowly compressed all his divine sense into a large hand, which then grasped the Yin-Yang Xuanlong Fruit and picked it off.

When the divine sense grasped the Yin-Yang Profound Spirit Fruit, the three of them let out a muffled groan. Then, Feng Jiutian manipulated the divine sense to throw the Yin-Yang Profound Spirit Fruit into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Despite doing such a simple thing, the three of them had almost completely exhausted their spiritual energy.

This shows just how terrifying the Yin and Yang energies emanating from the Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Fruit are.

"The Yin and Yang energy on this Yin-Yang Profound Spirit Fruit is too terrifying. My spiritual energy has been depleted. I need to sleep for a while. Girl, call me if you need anything."

After speaking, Xuanji Zi fell into a deep sleep without waiting for Feng Jiutian's reply. Jiu Yao, also pale and looking exhausted, returned to the Void Space to sleep.

Feng Jiutian also felt a wave of fatigue.

He found a cave. He used the Xuan Tian Thick Earth within his body to form a stone wall at the cave entrance, leaving half open for ventilation. Then he summoned Xiao Jin to guard the cave entrance, and he himself fell asleep inside the cave.

After resting for a few days, Feng Jiutian took the opportunity to enter the Void Spirit Cauldron and refine some common medicinal herbs he had found on the fifth level into some pills. This was to solidify his status as a high-level alchemist.
