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

"Yes, Master!" The shadow guard disappeared silently into the corner as he had come, as if he had never been there at all.

After watching Feng Jiutian enter the gate, a smile suddenly flashed in the man's deep black eyes, a smile he himself was unaware of.

……

When Feng Jiutian stormed into the Shaoge Auction House, he was prepared to take action.

Unexpectedly, the journey was smooth and unimpeded, and no one came to stop her.

She followed the flow of people and arrived inside the Tiange Auction House.

Looking at the packed hall, Feng Jiutian frowned almost imperceptibly.

The spacious hall was bustling with people, and the noisy chatter made Feng Jiutian, who had just entered, feel dizzy. It was as if a swarm of flies was buzzing around his ears, making him feel irritable and restless.

She glanced around, taking in the entire Tiange Auction House.

This is a three-story building. It looks luxurious and magnificent from the outside, but the inside is even more dazzling and magnificent.

This shows that this auction house is not simple!

Feng Jiutian's eyes darkened slightly as he subtly surveyed the guards stationed in each corner.

At the entrance to the stairwell on each floor, there was a group of guards who were clearly different from those standing outside.

The black hem of the garment features gold patterns, and even the fabric itself is of a slightly higher quality.

More importantly, they treated everyone with the same cold gaze, like a blade, sweeping over the crowd.

At that moment, a commotion arose at the entrance, and a group of people escorted a man in brocade robes as he entered. The man in brocade robes headed straight for the second floor.

The black-clad guards respectfully made way, and Feng Jiutian then noticed that everyone who could go to the second floor had a small green jade pendant tied around their waist.

Some people are dressed in gold, which makes them look more noble and luxurious, and these people can reach the third floor.

Feng Jiutian lowered his eyes and could clearly see that the people who came here were divided into three levels.

The lobby downstairs is clearly the lowest level, a chaotic mix of all sorts of people, making it look extremely messy.

The second floor was significantly better, with each seat separated by curtains to create a private space, and staff providing personal service.

As for the third floor, that was a place reserved for the powerful and wealthy. There was even a screen embroidered with silkworm silk in front of them, so people outside couldn't see anything the people inside were doing.

Feng Jiutian frowned as he looked at the heavily guarded stairwell. It was the only entrance, yet it was tightly guarded by them.

If she wanted to get in, there was only one way left—to force her way in!

After pondering for a moment, Feng Jiutian seemed to have made up his mind and walked outside.

But at that moment, a middle-aged man bumped into her heavily, forcing Feng Jiutian to retreat half a step.

"I'm sorry! Miss, I have offended you!"

Feng Jiutian frowned, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Just then, a young man rushed over from the doorway, walked past her, and hurried towards the back.

"Manager!"

Feng Jiutian's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her head, just in time to see the man whispering something to the middle-aged man from before.

However, the sound was too soft for Feng Jiutian to hear clearly, but none of that mattered to her, and she had no interest in paying attention to it.

"You're in charge?"

Feng Jiutian walked over and his gaze fell on the middle-aged man in the room.

"I am! And you are?" The steward looked up.

Feng Jiutian smiled but did not answer his question.

"I just want to ask, how much is this worth?"

Without making a sound, she took out a pill from her sleeve, which she had just taken from Xuanjizi's Void Spirit Cauldron.

She didn't know how much this thing was worth, but since it belonged to Xuanjizi, it shouldn't be too bad.

"This, could this be the 'Spirit Gathering Pill'?"

The steward smelled the elixir, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he hesitated before speaking, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Spirit Gathering Pill?

Feng Jiutian's eyes flashed. Judging from the name, it seemed to have quite a background.

However, in Xuanjizi's eyes, this kind of pill seemed to be not worth mentioning.

Otherwise, he probably would have spoken up already, and wouldn't have let her 'slip' it out.

What Feng Jiutian didn't expect was that what Xuanji Zi looked down on was priceless in the eyes of others.

"Young lady, are you auctioning this Spirit Gathering Pill?" the steward asked, his eyes shining.

"Hmm, how much is this worth?" Feng Jiutian saw the manager's expression and immediately knew that this so-called Spirit Gathering Pill must be quite something.

On the surface, she remained calm and composed as she asked the question.

"Miss, may I take a look at that Spirit Gathering Pill?" the steward asked respectfully.

“Yes!” Feng Jiutian nodded.

As expected, after carefully examining the pills in her hand, a glint flashed in the steward's eyes, and his attitude towards her became even more submissive.

"Miss, may we go upstairs to talk?" The manager clasped his hands in a fist salute to Feng Jiutian, his gaze completely different from before.

Feng Jiutian nodded and said calmly, "Alright!"

"Come, young lady, please take a seat!"

He took the lead and walked ahead, causing the guards who had been standing at the door to make way for him, allowing Feng Jiutian to go upstairs without any hindrance.

She also overheard the people who had been following the manager talking quietly behind her.

"Could this be the legendary 'Spirit Gathering Pill,' a treasure for cultivation? I never imagined I'd be so fortunate as to see it today!"

"'Spirit Gathering Pill'? Is that the pill that can greatly increase a person's Yuan Power? Legend has it that if one could obtain one of these, it would be equivalent to ten years of cultivation by others!"

"Such treasures are usually reserved for the children of powerful families. I never expected them to appear here today!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, an ordinary pill from the Spirit Void Cauldron has become a priceless treasure here.

It seems that Xuanji Zi is indeed quite capable!

Thinking this, Feng Jiutian arrived upstairs, and it was only then that she could see the entire view from upstairs.

The steward led her to a seat and then hurriedly left. A waiter then came to serve her tea.

The tea was fresh pre-rain Longjing tea, and even the teacups were of the finest quality.

Feng Jiutian picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and the aroma of the tea immediately filled her mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance. It was even better than the tea she usually drank in the Feng residence.

After setting down her teacup, Feng Jiutian took a look around at her surroundings. There were screens on both sides and a beaded curtain hanging behind, forming a relatively independent space.
