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

"understood."

Feng Jiutian accepted the conch shell expressionlessly, but inwardly she was frantically complaining that it was just a modern 'telephone'...

I never imagined that in a place where everyone is obsessed with improving their own strength, there would be people researching this kind of thing...

After talking for a while, Gong Xifei left with a few people, saying he was going to report to the Deep Sea Prison.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Jiutian also gave Yan Shien a prescription and asked, "Are these medicinal herbs available in the Endless Realm?"

"hiss--"

Yan Shi'en looked at the medicinal herbs on the paper, stroked his beard, and frowned with some difficulty, saying, "These spiritual herbs are indeed rare, but the treasure trove of the Endless Realm is still plentiful. If we really want to search, we can still find most of them."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

Only with these medicines can Xuanjizi's soul be fully repaired as soon as possible. It is truly worrying that she has suffered such a serious injury.

"I gave the order, and it should take about five days to find it."

Yan Shi'en glanced at the medicinal herbs on the paper a few more times, then looked up and asked with a hint of inquiry, "I wonder what use these medicinal herbs have for the Domain Lord?"

Most of the spiritual herbs on it are extremely rare, and some may take hundreds of years to condense. It would be difficult to gather them all in a short period of time, which made Yan Shi'en unable to figure out what Feng Jiutian was planning.

unless……

Feng Jiutian is an alchemist!

Only alchemists would need so many rare and precious materials; if these medicinal herbs fell into the hands of others, they would be unusable.

Alchemists are extremely rare...

Yan Shi'en's gaze towards Feng Jiutian changed, and before Feng Jiutian could answer, he asked in a low voice, "Domain Lord... is he an alchemist?"

Feng Jiutian originally wanted to make up a reason about where these spiritual herbs went, but Yan Shien asked first. She paused for a second, then nodded.

"Yes."

It might be more convenient to reveal her identity as an alchemist directly. Once Yan Shi'en knows she is an alchemist, he won't ask about the whereabouts of the elixir.

It's not that Feng Jiutian doesn't trust Yan Shi'en.

Rather, it's because Xuanji Zi's existence is not convenient for others to know, and Feng Jiutian doesn't know if Xuanji Zi has any enemies, or if it will cause any trouble. That's why Feng Jiutian is so cautious in dealing with this matter.

After learning that Feng Jiutian was an alchemist, Yan Shi'en stopped asking about other things. Feng Jiutian also didn't want to reveal her identity so quickly, so Yan Shi'en told the servants that she was a guest from the Endless Realm.

Feng Jiutian temporarily stayed in the Endless Domain City, waiting for Yan Shien to finish collecting the spiritual herbs.

The past five days have been quite peaceful.

As for Ling Yangfeng Jiutian, it is said that he was ordered by Yan Shien to be imprisoned in the dungeon for interrogation, but the outcome is still unknown.

Yan Shi'en said he would inform Feng Jiutian as soon as he had the results.

Feng Jiutian had no objection to this, after all, what Ling Yang did concerned the face and reputation of the Endless Realm, so it was necessary to be careful.

"Miss Feng! Something terrible has happened, Miss Feng!"

However, one morning, just as Feng Jiutian finished cultivating and withdrew his spiritual power, he heard Ling Sisi's anxious voice calling from outside the door: "Miss Feng, Steward Yan is injured! Would you like to go and see him?"

Feng Jiutian opened the door and went out, only to see Ling Sisi looking worried.

"what happened?"

As she walked quickly toward the Reincarnation Courtyard, she asked, "Do you know who injured Steward Yan?"

“It was Ling Yang.” Ling Sisi didn’t hide anything and told the whole story: “I heard from others that when Steward Yan was interrogating Ling Yang, the dungeon suddenly exploded for some reason, and then Steward Yan was beaten out.”

Speaking of this, Sisi touched her chest with lingering fear: "The lingering power of the dungeon hasn't dissipated yet. I just passed by and found it terrifying."

Feng Jiutian sensed something was wrong and asked again, "What about Ling Yang?"

"Ling Yang has gone missing."

Ling Sisi looked annoyed: "I don't know how he escaped from the dungeon. Butler Yan is currently recuperating in his room and told me to find you and not to let anyone else get close."

Feng Jiutian frowned, sensing that something was wrong, and quickened her pace toward Yan Shi'en.

Feng Jiutian had investigated Ling Yang's strength; he was a mid-stage Immortal Master. Logically speaking, he should not be able to harm Yan Shi'en, who possessed the strength of a Divine Venerable, in the slightest.

unless……

A cold glint flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes. Unless Ling Yang had long been colluding with outsiders and had already harbored the intention to harm Yan Shien!

Moreover, she had previously seen a dark aura on Ling Yang, which Feng Jiutian felt was not a good thing.

Soon, Feng Jiutian arrived at the Samsara Academy.

Ling Sisi stopped at the entrance of the courtyard, while Feng Jiutian went into the room where Yan Shien was alone.

As soon as she entered, she saw Yan Shi'en sitting cross-legged on a soft couch.

Yan Shi'en was clearly seriously injured, his lips were pale, and after noticing Feng Jiutian enter, he slowly uttered two words: "It's a demon."

With just two words, Feng Jiutian understood the meaning: the person who helped Ling Yang escape the dungeon was a demon.

"Recently, demons seem to be active in the human realm a bit too frequently."

Feng Jiutian frowned, thinking of the demon she encountered in Xixuan Kingdom, the demon in Dongling Kingdom, and the demon she met in the secret realm.

Feng Jiutian pondered for a moment before walking toward Yan Shien and saying, "Don't resist. Let me check if there's any demonic energy invading you."

"it is good."

Yan Shi'en weakened his aura slightly before Feng Jiutian approached. However, she felt that Yan Shi'en was somewhat strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was...

She raised her hand, and spiritual energy flowed from her palm as she examined Yan Shi'en's body. There was no demonic energy present, and the injuries he had sustained were only superficial.

"strangeness……"

Feng Jiutian sensed something was wrong. Yan Shi'en's face was pale, and his whole body was cold. He clearly looked like he had suffered a serious injury. How could this be...?

"careful!"

A calm voice reached Feng Jiutian's ears from afar, snapping him out of his daze and causing him to step aside!

"boom!"

Dust and smoke scattered.

The spot where she stood had already been blasted into a deep crater!

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes as he swept his gaze toward the person sitting on the soft couch.

Yan Shi'en was given a cold glare by Feng Jiutian, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "A mere Spirit Master dares to interfere with my good deed!"

Immediately afterwards, the disguise on the face of this 'Yan Shien' also fell off, and his aura changed, emanating black energy.

Looking at him again, his appearance had changed to Ling Yang!

"Bastard!"

A gust of wind swept by, and a figure swept past Feng Jiutian. Yan Shi'en quickly stood in front of Feng Jiutian and coldly looked at Ling Yang, saying, "If I had known back then that Ling Yuan would adopt such a beast as you, I should have stopped him and thrown you far away!"
