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

The path of alchemy is like rowing against the current; if one does not practice diligently, one will regress instead of progress. Feng Jiutian understood this principle well, so he did not slack off.

A week passed by so easily.

After recovering from the pill refining process, Jiuyao went out to hunt wild game and eat. However, Feng Jiutian didn't pay any attention to her. After all, Jiuyao was a ninth-tier magical beast, and no magical beast should be able to bully her.

After refining pills for a week, Feng Jiutian was getting a little bored. He put away Little Gold and left the cave, heading towards an area he hadn't explored before.

However, after collecting herbs on the fifth level for a few days, Feng Jiutian was surprised to find that there were not many powerful demonic beasts on this level. However, most of the special herbs were highly poisonous or had other life-threatening properties. It seemed that the fifth level was a rewarding place, and what was being tested was the eyesight of those who came here.

Fortunately, Feng Jiutian had the old fox Xuanji Zi, who recognized most things. So, nothing went wrong.

However, Feng Jiutian also encountered several medicinal herbs that even Xuanjizi did not recognize, but she was not greedy.

When Feng Jiutian was a mercenary assassin, he deeply understood a principle: treasures are good, but you have to be alive to enjoy them.

She didn't even touch those medicinal herbs that Xuanjizi didn't recognize, and turned to leave.

Two weeks have passed, and each level of the Phoenix Tower is smaller than the last. During these two weeks, Feng Jiutian has basically put all the precious medicinal herbs from the fifth level into the Void Spirit Space, and has also successfully discovered the light ring leading to the sixth level.

While refining the elixir, Feng Jiutian waited for Jiuyao to return after he had eaten his fill of rare and precious herbs.

Then, he led Jiuyao to the entrance of the sixth floor of the Phoenix Tower and stepped inside without hesitation.

This level itself is a treasure trove of rewards for those who have passed the previous four levels, so there are no level guardians and no extra rewards.

The scenery before her eyes changed, and Feng Jiutian arrived at the sixth floor of the Phoenix Tower.

As soon as Feng Jiutian entered the sixth level, she sniffed. The air was filled with the familiar stench of blood. It seemed that the sixth level was no friendly place.

Just as she regained her footing, Feng Jiutian felt a gust of wind from her left. She quickly dodged, and a huge ice wheel flew past, grazing her clothes.

Meanwhile, a man dressed in tattered clothes rushed over from a distance and said menacingly.

"Hand over the rare treasures you obtained from the fifth floor, and I'll spare your life!"

Feng Jiutian sneered. There was no reason to take out anything that had been put in her pocket. She condensed a cluster of red lotus night flames in her right hand, which then manifested as a fire dragon in the air and rushed towards the man.

However, at that moment, Feng Jiutian felt a sense of danger coming from behind him. He quickly rolled to the side and then saw that Bing Lun, which had just brushed past him, had turned back and flown back.

This man is definitely a formidable opponent, and Feng Jiutian secretly became wary.

However, the man clearly didn't think that much. He simply conjured three ice wheels around himself and slashed towards Feng Jiutian.

Without hesitation, Feng Jiutian sent out three fiery wheels made of red lotus night fire to crash into the three ice wheels.

However, the man was clearly no pushover either, as one of his ice wheels bypassed one of the fire wheels and slashed towards Feng Jiutian.

The physical reactions that had developed over the years caused Feng Jiutian to twist to the side, and at the same time, the dagger collided with the ice wheel. Then, Feng Jiutian felt a tremendous force coming from his hand, and a chilling aura traveled through the dagger into his body.

After using the Crimson Lotus Night Flame to suppress the chilling aura, Feng Jiutian charged towards the tattered man with a dagger in hand.

It's obvious that this man is a mage, so getting close to him would be very advantageous for me.

Seeing Feng Jiutian rushing towards him, the man calmly condensed two more ice wheels and flew over. However, Feng Jiutian had become more agile during her battle with Chi on the fourth floor, so she managed to twist the two ice wheels aside.

The man also frowned, seemingly realizing that Feng Jiutian was not someone to be trifled with.

After turning the ice wheel, Feng Jiutian continued charging towards the man at the same speed.

Suddenly, two ice walls appeared in front of her. It was obvious that one of the men had released an attack to block her. Feng Jiutian calmly helped by unleashing a fire dragon to shatter the ice walls.

As soon as the man saw Feng Jiutian successfully approach him, he turned around and tried to run away, but the moment he had this thought, a heavy weight pressed down on him. He was then forced to the ground.

"Gravity field! You actually practice dual cultivation!" the man exclaimed in shock. Then he shut his mouth.

Because a sharp dagger was now in his neck.

"Why did you attack me from the very beginning?" Feng Jiutian asked. She didn't know what the situation was on the sixth level, so she naturally wanted to find out first.

“The sixth level is a killing field. There are many people here, but only one person can enter the passage to the seventh level every six months. Those of us who entered here before can only kill each other to reduce our opponents.” The tattered man seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and said honestly.

A killing field?

Interesting. I never expected to encounter such a bloody hell. This actually made Feng Jiutian quite happy.

Although his strength gradually increased after entering the Phoenix Tower, he still felt a bit unsatisfied because he hadn't sparred with many masters.

Let's let him off the hook since he told the truth.

"Get lost. Don't let me see you again." Feng Jiutian took the dagger away and kicked the man away.

"You, you're not going to kill me?" the man said, feigning surprise.

"I want this list from six months from now. Just don't show your face in front of me again. If you attack me again, I'll kill you." Feng Jiutian waved his hand and prepared to leave.

"Since you spared my life, I'll tell you that there's only one month left until the next advancement to the seventh level. You'd better hurry up." The man left these words and then disappeared.

One month?

That's enough.

Since each level of the Phoenix Tower is smaller than the last, it should take at most two weeks to walk through the sixth level and find the intersection.

With that, Feng Jiutian chose a direction and started walking.

Over the next two hours, Feng Jiutian was attacked five times, with attackers ranging in strength from peak Saint Master to ninth-level Grandmaster.

However, Feng Jiutian killed them all. He was lucky to let the first person go because he didn't cheat and honestly told everything. The subsequent attackers were naturally not so lucky.

After fighting for two hours, even Feng Jiutian, with his peak Saint Master strength, was somewhat exhausted.

However, Feng Jiutian also gained a lot in those two hours. These people also had a lot of rare and precious materials, which Feng Jiutian accepted without hesitation.
