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

Ji Qing couldn't speak, he could only whimper, looking aggrieved. He was just joining in the fun... he didn't really want to buy anything.

This was just a side story.

Bidding also began in the private room next to Feng Jiutian's: "Sixty million."

"Great, it's already sixty million!" The auctioneer grinned from ear to ear and continued to urge, "Anyone else bidding?"

Sixty million is more than the value of the Moon-Closing Grass itself. Normally, no one would use this kind of grass. Sure enough, only the rich can afford it.

Feng Jiutian considered his wallet for a moment, then pressed the button: "Seventy million!"

At the same time, she informed the servant guarding the door that she wanted to see Yao Ji, and the servant quickly went to report.

Meanwhile, the room next to Feng Jiutian seemed to fall silent.

The auctioneer wasn't in a hurry to urge them on; what if they could get an even higher price? He waited for Feng Jiutian to speak from the VIP box next door.

During this brief respite, Yao Ji also arrived at Feng Jiutian's private room.

Without saying a word, Feng Jiutian threw out a white snow lotus bud that was about to bloom, the snow lotus faintly emitting a halo.

“I don’t have that much cash on hand,” Feng Jiutian said bluntly. “You can use this to pay off the debt. I don’t care how many gold coins are auctioned off later.”

Feng Jiutian pointed to the Moon-Closing Grass on the auction stage, his expression solemn: "I only want the Moon-Closing Grass, no matter the conditions."

As for the thing that looked like a snow lotus, Yao Ji recognized it and was instantly startled. This thing…

She remembered that Xie Shao had cultivated two plants, and there were only two of them in the world, surviving in the Phoenix Tower. She never expected that Miss Feng would have one. Didn't that mean that Miss Feng was definitely their young mistress?

Would she dare accept the lady's things?

"No, no, Miss Feng, please take it back. If you need the Moon-Closing Grass, just say so. You already have a business relationship with our Shaoge Auction House, which brings us huge profits. We, Shaoge Auction House, will still give you this small favor."

Yao Ji smiled broadly and continued, "As for this herb, it's always more profitable for an alchemist than for us to auction it off, isn't it?"

In an instant, Yao Ji had already come up with such a perfect excuse, her smile twisted into a pretzel, her flattery completely understated.

Just kidding! If their master takes a fancy to a woman, let alone a mere moon-eclipsing herb, even the moon itself, their master can pluck it from her without a second thought!

Feng Jiutian, unaware of the inside story, only felt that Yao Ji's attitude was a bit strange. Without thinking too much about it, he put the things away and said, "In that case, I will send you two pills when I have refined them."

"Of course, of course, I'll go arrange for the Moon-Closing Grass right away!" Yao Ji smiled and left the private room. After closing the door, the expression on her face immediately relaxed.

The master has taken a fancy to a young girl...

Yao Ji was somewhat exasperated. That little girl looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. How could her master have done such a thing?

Just as Yao Ji was leaving, a divine sense probed from the next private room. A cold glint flashed across Feng Jiutian's face, and he immediately sent out his divine sense to strike back!

The sensible person next door didn't probe further with their spiritual sense. After a long pause, a voice came from the next private room: "Excuse me, sir... could the Moon-Closing Grass please move aside?"

let?

"Impossible." Feng Jiutian coldly refused. The old man's soul was still asleep; how could she possibly give up this opportunity!

There was no one talking next door.

A servant came up to the stage and whispered a few words to the auctioneer. The auctioneer chuckled and tapped the table, saying, "In that case, sixty million. The Moon-Closing Grass belongs to the guest in Box 6 on the third floor."

Feng Jiutian photographed the Moon-Closing Grass, and the people in the next private room remained silent.

"The last item is about to be brought out." Feng Zhi leaned against the window and stared down, watching as a huge cage was carefully lifted up.

Feng Zhi sniffed lightly and said, "It smells like a magical beast."

"Hmm." Feng Jiutian nodded; she too could sense the rampaging aura of the demonic beasts.

"Wow--"

The enormous cage was lifted, revealing a one-horned black smoke beast. Its bull-like eyes glared at those around it, and the purple gas it spewed was blocked by the cage's barrier, but its imposing aura remained unchanged.

"A seventh-tier unicorn black smoke beast!" someone exclaimed.

"Yes, that's right, a seventh-tier unicorn smoke beast. It hasn't been tamed yet, but it's already under control."

The auctioneer tapped the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued, "What we are auctioning is this high-level secret manual! This manual can be cultivated by both mages and martial artists, and the benefits it can bring to the family are self-evident. The person who wins the bid for the manual will receive this seventh-tier unicorn smoke beast as a gift. Whether you extract its inner core or tame it is entirely up to you!"

His voice rose as he shouted, "Five million gold coins, starting bid!"

With a loud "bang," the room instantly erupted in noise, filled with various voices and calls for price increases.

Feng Jiutian wasn't interested in this. She had already given away four high-level manuals, and there was still one inside the Void Spirit Cauldron, so she didn't think much of it.

Just as Feng Jiutian finished settling the accounts for the items she had won at the auction, and the Moon-Closing Grass had just been placed inside the Void Spirit Cauldron and was about to leave.

Suddenly, a powerful, gust of wind-breaking pressure descended from above the auction house!

"Boom!"

The roof was shattered by a huge boulder, the barrier was broken, and a strong wind rushed in. Everyone scattered in all directions. The boulder crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater, and the entire ground shook!

Immediately afterwards, a series of sharp wind blades rushed towards the group!

Immediately, the Shaoge Auction House went on high alert, and the hidden guards emerged from the shadows to defend against the sudden wind blades.

Feng Jiutian instantly conjured a protective shield, but the boulder smashed through the barrier, and the sudden gust of wind blew the roof off. In that instant, Feng Jiutian saw that the person standing next to her was none other than Qi Mo!

Qi Mo was also taken aback when he saw Feng Jiutian, but with sand and stones flying everywhere, Feng Jiutian had no mind to say anything to Qi Mo and looked up at the sky.

A group of men in black floated in mid-air, each holding a weapon. The oppressive aura they exuded was enough to make anyone below the rank of Master lie on the ground, unable to move!

Feng Jiutian looked at the gaunt old man at the head of the group and narrowed his eyes.

Mid-stage Spirit Master.

Above the Imperial Tutor, the difference between each level is like ascending to heaven. She is not someone she can deal with now. Even if she tries her best, she cannot kill this Spirit Master. At most, they will both be injured!

"Jiejiejie——"

The gaunt old man let out a grating laugh: "My little darlings, what items were auctioned off? Let this old man take a look!"

No one dared to make a sound. Just then, he suddenly reached out and used his spiritual power to levitate and transfer a middle-aged man on the first floor to him.

There was a loud "poof" sound!

His withered hand pierced through his heart, and the middle-aged man died instantly!
