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

The higher-ups even wrote down every detail of the alchemy process. With this notebook, Feng Jiutian believed that even if Xuanjizi fell into a deep sleep again, Feng Jiutian would not make any major mistakes.

“These are some good things.” Xuanji Zi smiled as Feng Jiutian flipped through the notes. “These records are extremely rare, something many alchemists would never have obtained. You should keep them safe.”

"I understand."

Feng Jiutian raised his hand and collected all the notes on the table into the Void Spirit Cauldron. He sat down on the stone couch next to the stone table, looked at Xuanji Zi with a somewhat solemn expression, and asked, "Old man, are you alright? I absorbed a lot of your power when I advanced..."

"it's okay no problem."

Xuanji Zi interrupted Feng Jiutian without a care, saying, "I'm in good health, but you've just advanced to the mid-stage of Spirit Master. Your progress is too fast. You need to consolidate your realm as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he pointed to the waterfall outside and said, "That waterfall has extremely high pressure, which can effectively temper your martial arts physique and help you refine your realm. You can give it a try."

Feng Jiutian naturally knew this. When she passed through the waterfall earlier, she had sensed the presence of that power. If used properly, this power could allow her to soar into the sky, but if used improperly...

Feng Jiutian couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be knocked down to the bottom of the waterfall.

……

For the next ten days, Feng Jiutian continued to consolidate her cultivation. At first, she couldn't even last for a quarter of an hour when she entered the waterfall, but later she was able to last for half an hour, and now she can last for an hour!

The longer Feng Jiutian stayed under the waterfall, the stronger her cohesion became.

The pressure of the waterfall came from above her head. If she wanted to avoid the splashing water, she could only gather all her spiritual energy into a single point to form a protective shield to save her life.

But Feng Jiutian also discovered something else.

It's not just that it can release a protective shield; this point can also be used as an attack method!

The wind blades and fireballs released by ordinary people disperse their power, so the actual damage that hits them is greatly reduced.

But if she gathers all her spiritual power into countless points, without splitting them, and attacks directly from there, then the damage...

Feng Jiutian's injury has already been confirmed on a seventh-tier magical beast.

"puff!"

In the jungle, Feng Jiutian unleashed a wind blade that pierced directly through the center of a seventh-tier demonic serpent. As the wind blade penetrated, a red demonic beast core flew out.

The seventh-tier demonic serpent is dead.

Feng Jiutian directly reached out and enveloped the inner core of the demonic beast, then threw it into the Void Spirit Cauldron. The two gluttons inside liked to eat inner cores, but Feng Jiutian wasn't bothered by such things. If they wanted to eat them, they could. Except for a few things that she had specifically instructed them not to eat, the others were left to Jiuyao and the others to do with as they pleased.

"You've become much stronger."

Xuanji Zi was initially shocked, but then felt more gratified. After all, he was his disciple, and his rapid progress made him very proud.

"But I always feel like something's missing..."

Feng Jiutian looked down at her hands, her brows furrowed, somewhat lost in thought. She didn't know what she was missing, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She then hunted down two more magical beasts and hurried back to the waterfall.

She channeled her spiritual power and stood directly under the waterfall, enduring its impact as if lost in thought. Xuanjizi, however, immediately realized that Feng Jiutian had encountered the most challenging test a spiritual master could face.

Becoming an Imperial Tutor is the first step towards becoming a powerful being, while becoming a Spirit Master is a fixed point on the path to power. Many powerful individuals linger here for a long time, unable to break through, because the Spirit Master stage has one extremely difficult hurdle to overcome—

Heart demon.

Logically speaking, Feng Jiutian, being a person of pure body, should never have any inner demons in her life. However, the test of becoming a Spirit Master is something that everyone must pass, so Feng Jiutian cannot avoid it.

However, there's only this one mental hurdle. If you overcome it, everything will be fine. But if you can't...

Xuanjizi felt that, given Feng Jiutian's Holy Bloodline, it shouldn't be a big deal.

The Holy Blood Clan is said to be able to control all filth in the world. Xuanji Zi suspects that it was likely the drop of blood left behind by Mo Shaoxie that caused Feng Jiu to fall into her current state.

But given Mo Shaoxie's status, he probably wouldn't.

What kind of inner demons could trap Feng Jiutian in this situation... What made her become like this?

Xuanji Zi now sees Feng Jiutian's appearance as if she is unaware of the situation; she seems not to have realized that she has entered the trial of inner demons.

"Crash-"

The sound of the waterfall echoed, and the world seemed to become very quiet.

An hour and a half passed.

Feng Jiutian finally ran out of energy, and the waterfall crashed down on her head, directly over her protective shield!

With a "plop!", Feng Jiutian crashed heavily into the pool. Water splashed up, the waterfall continued to flow, but she did not rise from the surface.

This is……

Underwater, Feng Jiutian's eyes widened. At the bottom of the pool, she saw a cold, azure light. The faint light and aura it emitted almost made Feng Jiutian overlook its existence.

Moreover, that thing looked rather peculiar, which attracted Feng Jiutian to swim over.

However, Feng Jiutian found that no matter how she swam, she could not seem to get close to that place. It was so close, yet it seemed to be very far away, which made Feng Jiutian feel a little strange.

She scanned the surroundings with her divine sense, but found no one else's presence or any fluctuations. How could she possibly be unable to get close...?

"Girl, don't rush over."

Xuanji Zi's deep voice echoed within the Void Spirit Cauldron, saying, "This is an array set up by someone a hundred times stronger than you. With your current strength, you cannot break through it. If you force your way in, you will only hurt yourself."

Although the formation has not been activated yet, the closer Feng Jiutian gets to that place, the more the water flowing around him seems to become more turbulent.

Feng Jiutian took a deep look at that thing, but ultimately gave up and returned to the surface of the water.

"call--"

Feng Jiutian stepped ashore and instantly dried his clothes with fire. He then glanced at the waterfall and said, "Old man, we should go and see other places."

She had been in this place for almost twenty days, and her strength as a mid-stage Spirit Master had been consolidated. Although Feng Jiutian still felt something was strange, she couldn't find the source of her unease, so she decided to take a walk around to hopefully ease the knot in her heart.

Xuanji Zi's figure floated out from the Void Spirit Cauldron. He tucked his sleeves into his sleeves, looked around, and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "This island is full of treasures. Search around and take a look. If you encounter something you can't defeat, call out Jiu Yao to help you."
