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

After Feng Jiutian raised the price of the soft whip to six million, no one spoke up, so Feng Jiutian naturally won the bid for the fire element soft whip.

The soft whip was quickly brought up.

After obtaining the soft whip, Feng Jiutian was in no hurry to give it away. First, he summoned a small wisp of red lotus night fire. The red lotus night fire, mixed with cold white, was guided into the soft whip by Feng Jiutian's spiritual energy.

The originally dull and lifeless whip suddenly emitted a light, carrying a hint of heat, and white flames ignited around it.

The flames burned for about fifteen minutes before finally dying down. Feng Jiutian put away the Crimson Lotus Night Flame, cracked his whip, and nodded: "The first tempering was quite effective."

At least Feng Jiutian didn't feel any pressure. Following Gu Luo's tempering method, burning off impurities in the weapon and removing the unnecessary ones was the only way to get a high-quality product.

Feng Jiutian had just removed the unnecessary materials from the soft whip and then fused them together, making the entire whip seem to have changed its appearance.

It's already top-quality.

Feng Jiutian rolled up the whip and tossed it to Feng Zhi, who was staring intently at him: "Here you go."

"Wow!" Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, picking up the whip. "Really? You gave it to me?"

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but chuckle: "This was originally made for you, so don't take it to heart."

"This is six million..." Feng Zhi stroked the whip with great affection, then rubbed it on her face with a smile, treating it like a precious treasure.

Feng Zhi lost interest in everything else, her eyes scanning the whip up and down, without glancing down at the auction house again.

A long time passed until Feng Jiutian's elixir appeared below.

"This item is called the Blood-Fighting Pill."

The auctioneer lifted the cloth covering the pills, revealing two Blood-Fighting Pills sealed with spiritual energy. The red pills released a rich medicinal fragrance the moment the cloth was lifted, instantly filling the entire auction hall.

"I'm sure everyone can tell from the smell that this is a top-grade Battle Blood Pill, right?"

The auctioneer tapped the gavel on the table and said, "Many people probably don't understand the effects of the Blood-Fighting Pill, but I believe everyone should know the effects of the Blood-Recovering Pill, right?"

"The effect of the Supreme Blood Pill is that after taking it, no matter what injuries you have, they can be healed immediately. Not only that, it will also instantly replenish your battle qi and spiritual energy, allowing you to immediately return to your most perfect state!"

Everyone was stunned.

The auctioneer continued, "Because the Blood-Fighting Pill is so incredibly effective, it is also extremely difficult to refine. A top-grade Blood-Fighting Pill might not appear for more than a decade, but we have two here now. It's a pity that it only works on those below the Immortal Master level, but I hope everyone won't miss out on the Blood-Fighting Pill, after all, it's something that can save your life!"

The atmosphere instantly became lively, and everyone was in high spirits.

Seeing the atmosphere heating up again, the auctioneer pressed his advantage, saying, "The starting bid is 500,000 gold coins. Now, please place your bids!"

"One million!" a voice came from the third floor.

"Two million!"

"four million!"

"..."

The price soared, which was something Ling Feng Jiutian never expected, but the price stopped rising when it reached 7.2 million.

That makes sense, since this thing is only useful to those below the level of Immortal Master, and the people who come here aren't necessarily after the Blood-Fighting Pill; they're all holding back and waiting to grab what's next.

In the end, the Blood-Fighting Pill was sold for 9.8 million, leaving Feng Jiutian speechless. What's more, the money came from that weirdo on the second floor!

At this moment, the eccentric Ji Qing had already been slapped across the face by Ji Shen, who had pinned her to the ground: "Nine million eight hundred thousand! Do you know how many experts nine million eight hundred thousand can train!"

"Pah!" Another slap.

Although Ji Shen seemed to hit hard, it didn't actually hurt at all. Ji Qing wiped the blood from her nose and said seriously, "Brother, you have to think about it. I haven't reached the Immortal Master level yet. What if I get beaten to a pulp in the future? If I take this medicine, maybe I can unleash my full power?"

Ji Shen was speechless, but when he thought about how Ji Qing had shouted out 9.8 million, he felt an itch to beat the brat up again!

Even though they have a lot of money, this isn't the way to spend it.

The auction continues.

Following the pills were the medicinal herbs that Feng Jiutian threw out. The three kinds of herbs were bid on by one person on the second floor and two people on the third floor. The oddball on the second floor didn't raise the price.

Feng Jiutian guessed that he probably wasn't broke, but rather had been taught a lesson.

Having spent so much money, if someone were around, they would definitely be taught a lesson.

The three medicinal herbs fetched a total price of 26 million, which did increase Feng Jiutian's income.

Every single medicinal herb unearthed from the Phoenix Tower is a rare and precious treasure. She only threw out three of the most ordinary ones, and they still fetched such high prices...

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but stroke his chin. In the future, when he was short of money, he could just throw out one or two plants and he would immediately become rich.

The auction was drawing to a close, and the Moon-Closing Grass, which Feng Jiutian had been waiting for for a long time, was the second to last item to be presented.

Isn't this the grand finale yet?

Feng Jiutian couldn't help but frown. If something as precious as the Moon-Closing Grass wasn't the grand finale, then what would be the grand finale?

It shouldn't be anything too strange or unusual.

The auctioneer quickly finished introducing the Moon-Closing Grass, and the crowd began bidding.

Feng Jiutian sat quietly waiting for the price to soar, until a voice came from next door: "Ten million."

There were no more bidders in the hall; not many people could afford ten million.

"Eleven million," Feng Jiutian followed suit with his bid.

A voice came from next door: "Fifteen million."

Feng Jiutian raised the price without changing his expression: "Twenty million." The reason he had raised the price by one million before was to test whether the neighboring company had the financial resources to support it.

However, it seems that he is not short of money.

The audio in each private room has been processed, making the voices sound almost identical, so it's impossible to tell if it's a man or a woman; you can only judge by the tone of voice.

Feng Jiutian is not worried about being exposed.

"Wow..." Fengzhi's expression was one of utter astonishment.

Twenty million? She wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

"Thirty million." The bidder next door immediately raised the price by ten million.

"Four thousand, um—ten thousand—"

Suddenly, someone in the odd private room on the second floor interrupted between the two people, saying they were raising the price. Halfway through, they seemed to be muffled, unable to speak, and kept making muffled noises. The lights in front of the room were also switched on and off with a series of snaps…

"Uh...guests on the second floor, could you please be clearer?" The auctioneer was also confused by what was happening on the second floor and couldn't help but speak up to remind them.

"Forty million!" This time the voice was exceptionally loud, seemingly carrying a hint of anger, and the tone had changed.

“Fifty million,” Feng Jiutian continued.

Inside the private room on the second floor, Ji Shen covered Ji Qing's mouth tightly, looking at him with exasperation: "Why can't you restrain yourself? You spendthrift!"
