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

The woman reached out to lead the way for Feng Jiutian and Feng Zhi, and didn't forget to wave her hand to instruct someone to take away the three kinds of medicinal herbs that were laid out.

"Honorable guest, my name is Yao Ji. How shall I address you?"

Yao Ji asked with a smile on the way, without any sense of restraint. Her actions and tone unconsciously showed respect for Feng Jiutian.

At first, she thought the person Xie Shao had ordered her to take care of was just a showpiece, but she didn't expect him to be able to bring so many real people with impressive strength. Besides, the Blood-Fighting Pill wasn't something that could be made casually.

Yao Ji's attitude changed from casual at first to genuine respect from the bottom of her heart.

She already deserved to treat an alchemist with this attitude, let alone someone whom Young Master Xie had instructed her to take care of.

“My surname is Feng,” Feng Jiutian answered Yao Ji’s question.

"So it's Miss Feng." Yao Ji smiled even more broadly and led Feng Jiutian out of the passage.

As soon as I stepped outside, all sorts of sounds came through.

Feng Zhi looked around curiously, then widened her eyes in shock: "Wow—it's so high! Look, there are three levels in the Nine Heavens!"

Feng Jiutian followed Feng Zhi's gaze and saw that the place looked very tall from the inside, quite different from how it looked from the outside, and it seemed that each floor had its own private room.

Feng Zhi said with admiration, "I heard my father say that one must have at least the strength of a God-Emperor to achieve this kind of pioneering achievement!"

"This young lady is quite knowledgeable," Yao Ji said with a smile, covering her mouth, indirectly acknowledging that this was a newly opened world.

Seeing that Feng Jiutian was staring at the first floor, Yao Ji lowered her eyes and explained with a smile: "Miss Feng, the auction has not started yet. Most of the people sitting downstairs are not very wealthy, and 80% of them are ordinary people from Yuancheng. Only one or two out of hundreds of people will make a purchase. Those with a little financial means have reserved private rooms on the second floor."

"What about the third floor?" Feng Jiutian turned his head and asked curiously.

“Even if someone has the money, our Shaoge Auction House might not be able to reserve the private rooms on the third floor.” A strange light flashed in Yao Ji’s eyes as she explained, “Most of the private rooms on the third floor are reserved for royalty or people with power, or for distinguished guests who have business dealings with our Shaoge Auction House.”

Feng Jiutian looked down at the barrier set up on the third floor. It was probably set up to protect the people on the third floor. Shaoge Auction House was quite thoughtful.

Yao Ji led Feng Jiutian and Feng Zhi to a private room, bowed slightly, and gestured, saying, "Honorable guests, this is your room. If you wish to auction anything, simply press the red light and state your price."

As she spoke, Yao Ji pointed to the red button placed inside the private room.

Feng Zhi, being restless, couldn't resist rushing into the private room first, and happily fiddled with the red lamp.

Feng Jiutian nodded to Yao Ji and said, "Thank you."

"You're too kind!" Yao Ji covered her mouth and giggled. She was already a charming woman, and her smile made her even more alluring. "I'll arrange for two servants to stand guard at the door for you. Just let me know if you need anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, two martial artists emerged from the darkness and stood outside the private room. Their faces were covered, so Feng Jiutian couldn't see what they looked like.

"Then I'll take my leave." Yao Ji bowed again and swayed her hips as she left.

Feng Jiutian also knew that Yao Ji's status in the Shaoge Auction House was probably not low. Ordinary people would not be able to recognize the preciousness of those medicinal herbs and the grade of the Blood Fighting Pill at a glance. Since her status was not low, she must have other things to do.

Feng Jiutian guessed that if it weren't for the effeminate man's card, even if she brought so many precious medicines, Yao Ji wouldn't have come to lead the way herself.

Feng Jiutian shook her head. Why was she thinking about such unimportant things? Her main task today was to photograph the medicinal herb that could repair the soul.

She turned and went into the private room, and the door slammed shut.

Unbeknownst to Feng Jiutian, Yao Ji, who hadn't gone far, turned her head and glanced at Feng Jiutian a couple more times after he turned around, her smile deepening before she turned away thoughtfully.

It's a little girl... It seems they'll soon be calling her "Madam."

"Jiutian, can you tell what this is made of?" Feng Zhi fiddled with the button, but even with her extensive knowledge, she couldn't figure out what it was.

Feng Jiutian scanned the area with his divine sense, and was slightly startled, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "This is a signal light condensed from the gold element."

It takes a great deal of spiritual power for the gold element to condense into signal light. Once condensed, anyone can easily trigger the energy and cause it to glow.

They're usually used to transmit signals, but I never expected Shaoge Auction House to use them as auction buttons.

and……

Feng Jiutian glanced down and saw that there were signal lights on the seats on the first floor, and lights outside the private rooms on the second and third floors as well, indicating that Shaoge Auction House had put in a lot of effort.

For the rest of the time, Feng Zhi kept looking at the scene below with great interest from the window, while Feng Jiutian closed his eyes and used his inner vision method to look at the pill formula on the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Since she broke through to the early stage of the Imperial Tutor realm, she discovered that she could now see the pill formulas on the Void Spirit Cauldron at the level of a Grand Pharmacist.

But in reality, she could only refine high-grade pills.

The Blood-Fighting Pill was extremely difficult to refine. She tried to refine it on her way to the Northern Qi Kingdom while the old man was asleep, and she failed several times, leaving her humiliated.

Fortunately, she was able to find the trick and successfully refine those two top-grade Blood-Fighting Pills.

Feng Jiutian had been unconscious since breaking through three days ago. When he woke up, he discovered that he could see pill formulas that could only be refined by a Grand Pharmacist. Although these were Grand Pharmacist level formulas, they were only the tip of the iceberg on the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Fortunately, Feng Jiutian found a pill formula among those pill formulas called "The First Chapter of the Profound Spirit Heavenly Root".

The names of pills usually appear on the Void Spirit Cauldron, such as Blood Recovery Pill and Blood Fighting Pill. The fact that there was such a long name for the first time naturally caught Feng Jiutian's attention.

After looking at it carefully, Feng Jiu realized that it was a pill for repairing the soul!

Feng Jiutian did not finish reading the entire "Xuanling Tiangen Chu Pian" because there were too many medicinal herbs required. She only read a large part of it and had not yet seen the remaining small part. However, even in this large part, she discovered that there were four or five medicinal herbs that she did not have and that were extremely precious!

Three ingredients are essential, one of which is the one that will appear at today's auction—the Moon-Closing Grass!
