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

Feng Jiutian touched his chest, feeling quite helpless.

Jiuyao snorted coldly: "They've already left, what's the point of leaving this behind?" Clearly, he was extremely resentful.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore." Feng Jiutian comforted Jiuyao, who softened his attitude and went back to sleep deep inside the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Since the black egg stopped bothering her, Jiu Yao has reverted to her domineering nature. Feng Jiutian wonders if Jiu Yao will explode again once the black egg hatches.

"This is the champion's badge."

The woman in blue handed Feng Jiutian a jade token, saying, "Come here to meet us after Jiutian. If you miss the time, you won't be able to enter the secret realm."

Feng Jiutian took the jade token and nodded: "Okay."

She went straight back to the inn, only to find Qi Mo already waiting for her in her room. Feng Jiutian casually closed the door, poured herself a cup of spiritual tea, sat down opposite Qi Mo, and asked, "You didn't participate today? I didn't see you in the top four."

Logically speaking, Qi Mo's strength is not weak, and he could easily win first place. Why didn't he participate? It is possible that he gave up today's opportunity because he wanted to obtain the qualification to enter the secret realm first. However, Feng Jiutian does not think she has that much charm.

Therefore, Feng Jiutian couldn't understand why Qi Mo didn't participate.

Qi Mo lowered his head, his expression somewhat solemn. He glanced at Feng Jiutian and said in a calm tone, "I saw... a demon during the competition."

Demon?

Feng Jiutian was startled, then asked, "Did no one sense the presence of that demon?"

"No."

Qi Mo shook his head and added, "That demonic aura was perfectly concealed. He looked like an ordinary human mage, and his strength had already reached the level of a Celestial Master. No one would suspect that a Celestial Master was a demon."

It is already difficult for humans to cultivate to the level of a Celestial Master. Demons have evil cultivation methods and often use humans as sacrifices. Because of this, although their cultivation speed is fast, it is even more difficult for a demon with a higher level of cultivation to conceal its aura.

Unless... the Demon King!

Feng Jiutian voiced her guess, and Qi Mo immediately shook his head, denying it: "It can't be the Demon King."

"The Demon King's strength cannot be limited to that of a mere Immortal Master."

Qi Mo frowned, and after a long while, he put down the cup in his hand and said indifferently, "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time after we get to the secret realm."

Qi Mo stood up, his white robes making him appear even more aloof and unparalleled. Before leaving, he reminded Feng Jiutian, "Be careful of that Fuling Yue."

He could see clearly what kind of person Fuling Yue was, and it was not a good omen that Feng Jiutian had been targeted by him.

"clear."

After seeing Feng Jiutian nod, Qi Mo finally left.

Feng Jiutian lowered his head, his expression dark, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He opened his lips and uttered three words in a low voice—

"It's a demon..."

Demons are wicked and commit all sorts of evil deeds. It's unknown why they appear in the human world.

Feng Jiutian inexplicably thought of Mo Shaoxie again, wondering how he was doing after suffering such serious injuries.

Feng Jiutian hasn't made a definitive conclusion about whether Mo Shaoxie is a demon or not. As long as this demon who appeared in Xixuan Kingdom doesn't threaten her search for medicinal herbs in the secret realm, she'll let him be.

Feng Jiutian had no interest in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path.

She sat at the table for a while, resting her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, she slowly got up and set up a protective barrier in the room.

She had nine days of rest left, and she wanted to take advantage of that time to carefully examine the contract manual.

With a wave of her hand, a golden light flashed, and Feng Jiutian summoned the giant book, turning to the chapter on the Contract Master's Manual that she had never read before.

If the first four fragments of the Contract Master's Manual were specifically about contracting magical beasts, then the second one is about contracting... demons?

This chapter first explains the origin of demons, and then discusses the exclusive formation for contracting demons.

This formation has been modified from the original formation, making it more domineering, cruel, and direct. If a demon follows a crooked path, then this contract formation will be extremely painful for it. The power within the formation will cleanse the evil spirits within its body, and the pain is no different from washing away its soul!

Once the contract is successful, the terms for the demon are different from those for contracted magical beasts, which allow for the choice between master and servant or equality. Instead, a death pact is established. Feng Jiutian only needs one thought to put the demon to death, and even its soul will be reduced to ashes and cease to exist!

Thinking of the demon that Qi Mo mentioned earlier, Feng Jiutian quickened her pace and absorbed the essence of the contract manual into her mind. After finishing reading it, she immediately began to use her metal element to draw an array on the ground.

Each stroke required immense energy, but after only drawing a rough outline, Feng Jiutian already felt exhausted, and at the same time, he was deeply shocked by the Contract Master's Manual!

Who could possibly create this unique Contract Master manual? In the first chapter on magical beasts, Feng Jiutian was able to contract magical beasts of the level of Jiuyao. In the second chapter on demonic beasts, she couldn't even draw a complete array!

Unable to continue drawing, Feng Jiutian stopped, ate two pills to replenish her spiritual energy, and prepared to begin refining pills.

Even an early-stage Imperial Tutor couldn't draw this entire formation, so... what about a Spirit Master?

There is a pill on the Void Spirit Cauldron called the Spirit Breaking Pill.

Feng Jiutian still has a ball of unabsorbed spiritual energy within her body. She plans to refine it as quickly as possible and break through to the Spirit Master level!

After mastering the Spirit Master's skills, try using the array formation; it should work roughly.

Summoning the Void Spirit Cauldron, Feng Jiutian raised his hand and summoned the Crimson Lotus Night Flame. The Spirit Breaking Pill was a high-level pill at the Grand Pharmacist level. Feng Jiutian had never tried a pill at the Grand Pharmacist level before, but he was still willing to give it a try!

The medicinal herbs were placed on the table. According to their medicinal properties, Feng Jiutian threw in several spiritual fruits one after another. After the fire melted the spiritual fruits into juice, Feng Jiutian then threw in the spiritual herbs in order.

The medicinal herbs are cold in nature, and even the Crimson Lotus Night Flame has difficulty refining them, but this step requires the most patience.

Feng Jiutian remained still, staring at the herbs inside the medicine cauldron. After several hours, the herbs slowly turned into medicinal juice and merged with the previous medicinal juice. Feng Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is the most crucial one.

Feng Jiutian picked up the last fire-attribute spiritual herb, the 'Flame Fruit'. To preserve its medicinal properties, the Flame Fruit was surrounded by a layer of ice. She carefully broke the ice on the outside of the fruit before throwing it into the medicine cauldron.

Increase the firepower immediately!

The Flame Fruit is a rare and top-quality medicine. The reason it is difficult to refine is that most flames cannot suppress the medicinal properties of the spiritual fruit. To refine this herb, the firepower must be increased to the maximum!
