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

Flames can directly counteract the fiery nature of the Flame Fruit, while the medicinal juices inside the cauldron, apart from the Flame Fruit, are all of a cold nature. The two will inevitably clash, which could easily lead to the failure of the elixir!

Feng Jiutian directly increased the fire element to its maximum, which was enough to melt the Flame Fruit and overpower its medicinal properties. Then, he reduced the fire element to allow them to fuse into a pill.

As it turned out, Feng Jiutian's guess was correct. The Flame Fruit was suppressed by Feng Jiutian's Crimson Lotus Night Flame and slowly turned into medicinal juice.

Feng Jiutian cautiously watched the two medicinal broths blend together, then slowly reduced the heat...

"wrong!"

A familiar voice rang out anxiously, "Keep the fire going! Don't worry about the medicinal properties not mixing, increase it!"

Feng Jiutian's eyes lit up. It was Xuanji Zi!

Without stopping, following Xuanji Zi's words, Feng Jiutian increased the intensity of the Crimson Lotus Night Flame. Under Feng Jiutian's tempering, the two medicinal elixirs slowly rotated and gradually began to condense, but strangely, a wisp of black smoke appeared...

"Fire, reduce it quickly!" Xuanji Zi's voice rang out again in a hurry.

Without delay, Feng Jiutian reduced the intensity of the Red Lotus Night Flame, and the faint flame refined the pills as the black smoke disappeared.

Fifteen minutes later, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the room!

Feng Jiutian raised his hand and sealed the aura of the pill, storing it in a bottle. Feeling somewhat exhausted, he popped a Blood-Replenishing Pill into his mouth and felt a little better.

Xuanjizi emerged, smelled the lingering medicinal scent in the air, and shook his head: "Mid-grade, no good."

Feng Jiutian looked up at the old man and smiled: "Old man, you're finally awake?"

Xuanji Zi snorted, tucked her sleeves into her hands, and shook her head as she said, "If you still don't wake up, you little brat, you'll cause a huge uproar!"

Feng Jiutian retorted defiantly, "Where did I turn the world upside down?"

"They blew up the entire auction house, don't you think that would cause chaos?" Xuanji Zi pouted, looking like she knew everything.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian narrowed his eyes, gently tapped the table, and drawled out an "Oh," saying, "So you were awake all along?"

The voice carried a faint chill, sounding like a threat in Xuanji Zi's ear.

"Isn't that to train you...?"

Xuanji Zi touched his nose with a sullen look, lowered his voice and muttered, "Who knew that as soon as I woke up I would see you blowing up someone's auction house? I had no choice but to step in and block some of the aftershocks for you. If that immortal master hadn't been there, this old man might have slept for a while longer."

Feng Jiutian was taken aback, and then asked in a daze, "You've made your move again?"

"nonsense!"

Xuanji Zi, looking displeased, shouted, "Can't you, little girl, make things easier for this old man? You always have to make such a big fuss. Elemental fusion isn't something that's easy to do. If I don't protect you, do you think a mere Immortal Master can protect you all?"

Feng Jiutian fell silent. She thought of Xun Ye crawling out of the ruins, his body covered in charred soot. She realized that it would be very difficult for him to withstand this attack.

Moreover, wasn't the reason Xuanji Zi fell into a deep sleep because she used that elemental fusion technique to protect her?

"Old man."

Feng Jiutian's somewhat subdued voice rang out: "I will use this move less often in the future."

At least until she has fully discovered a way to use it without harming herself, she will not use it lightly again. Feng Jiutian does not want Xuanjizi to fall into a deep sleep again because of her.

The damage to the soul is something that can never be completely repaired.

The old man had only been asleep for a little over two months, but for Feng Jiutian, it felt like an eternity. She knew so little, and the realms she had been exposed to were far too small.

Seeing that Feng Jiutian had fallen silent, Xuanji Zi's smile faded slightly. He gently patted Feng Jiutian's head and sighed, "Girl, this is a necessary step in your growth. Don't restrain yourself too much. This old man can still protect his disciple!"

"Old man."

Feng Jiutian's slightly sinister voice came: "Don't pat my head."

"Cough cough!"

Xuanji Zi immediately withdrew her hand, clenched her fist, and coughed twice: "I was just trying to comfort you..."

Of course, it's also possible that he might take the opportunity to indulge in being a master. Other people's disciples are all soft and cute, but his disciple not only doesn't call him master, but is also cold and aloof all day long and only knows how to kill.

"Hmph." Feng Jiutian turned his head away.

She knew in her heart just how good Xuanjizi was to her. Even though Xuanjizi had woken up, she still needed to go to the Royal Secret Realm, preferably to gather all the medicinal herbs needed to repair the soul.

Even if Xuanji Zi is awake, her soul is still somewhat ethereal, so she still needs to be on the safe side.

Feng Jiutian suddenly thought of the white tiger who had been taking care of Xuanji Zi, and pinched his chin, saying, "I should thank the white tiger for waking up so quickly."

"You finally remembered me!"

The white tiger's somewhat annoyed voice rang out, and it snorted, "I haven't even fully recovered from my injuries, and you're already exploiting me, sob sob. I worked tirelessly to repair my soul, sob sob, and you can't even remember me, sob sob..."

Feng Jiutian rubbed his forehead, looking troubled, and asked succinctly, "So what do you want?"

"Not much! Just give me two or three bottles of those unnecessary pills you put in the corner, hehehe..."

Baihu immediately grinned obsequiously, and Feng Jiutian could almost see the lewd expression on Baihu's face.

He waved his hand and said, "Take it, take it."

Feng Jiutian wasn't stingy with two bottles of pills, and besides, she could refine those pills herself.

The white tiger let out another lewd laugh and burrowed deep into the Void Spirit Cauldron.

Feng Jiutian looked at the Spirit Breaking Pill in his hand, smelled it, frowned, looked up at Xuanji Zi and asked, "Although this is only a mid-grade Spirit Breaking Pill, I think it shouldn't be a big problem to use it, right?"

When the topic of pills came up, Xuanji Zi's expression became serious. He looked at the pills in Feng Jiutian's hand, shook his head, and said, "When you reached the fusion stage of refining, did you feel powerless, especially when you reduced the heat, and even saw a wisp of black smoke?"

Feng Jiutian nodded. As the pill was nearing completion, a wisp of black smoke did indeed rise up.

"If you had continued to reduce the heat at that time, it would have directly caused an explosion."

Xuanji Zi continued to analyze for Feng Jiutian: "The medicinal properties of the Flame Fruit are extremely strong. When it is transformed into a medicinal juice and fused with the cold medicinal materials, reducing the heat will only cause the cold medicinal materials to overpower the Flame Fruit. The medicinal properties of the Flame Fruit are the most significant. Once it is overpowered, the medicinal effect will be completely lost!"

"Cold-natured medicinal herbs are even more domineering than hot-natured medicinal herbs. Once they overpower the fire-natured medicinal fruit, the consequence will only be self-destruction, which is what I mentioned earlier as the furnace exploding."

"Fortunately, you increased the firepower later, which warmed up the Flame Fruit again."
