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

Since it was already late at night, Feng Jiutian changed out of his wet black clothes and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed, but he was not sleepy at all!

Thinking about what happened today, my thoughts are a bit chaotic.

Why couldn't she bring herself to harm the Seventh Prince?

Is it because I pity him?

Is she really that compassionate?

I don't understand!

Feng Jiutian shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

That matter is over now. The most urgent thing is to expel all the toxins from my body so that I can start cultivating again.

The only way out is to become strong yourself!

Thinking of this, Feng Jiutian asked Xuanji Zi in the spiritual sea, "Old man, are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's almost there!"

"When will I be able to refine my antidote pill?"

After a moment of silence, Xuanji Zi lazily replied, "It will be ready tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Feng Jiutian pondered for a moment.

"Yes, it should take until around tomorrow afternoon," Xuanjizi replied.

……

the other side!

Upon receiving the letter, the shadow guard quickly entered the palace and delivered it to Mo Shaoxie, the seventh prince.

Mo Shaoxie held the letter in one hand and played with the dagger left by Feng Jiutian in the other, his slender fingers looking exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

“Sissy, I’ve already used the Pill-Chasing Herb, but I’ll borrow the Seventh Prince’s life for now. I’ll return it to you whenever you need another life.”

These few words, though brief, inexplicably conveyed a sense of roguishness!

That woman was indeed 'extraordinary'!

"Hahaha!" Mo Shaoxie suddenly burst into laughter after reading the letter, completely baffled!

But the next second, with a gentle pinch of his fingertips, the letter turned to powder.

He then got up, walked to the window, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and muttered to himself, "Feng Jiutian, are you forcing me to take you down ahead of time?"

He was talking to himself, but it inexplicably gave off a chilling and eerie feeling!

……

The following afternoon!

Xuanji Zi finally finished refining the elixir.

However, to take this detoxifying pill, one needs to find a sufficiently secluded place.

Because the effects of the medicine may take a long time, it is absolutely not advisable to interrupt the treatment.

It would be impossible in the Prime Minister's residence.

Therefore, after giving Qingzhi a brief explanation, Feng Jiutian avoided all the guards and left the Prime Minister's residence.

Practice Bone Cliff!

It is a cliff in a small village near the outskirts of the city. Because the terrain is flat, the cliff is not very steep. The villagers often go down the cliff to collect some common medicinal herbs.

However, ever since a great earthquake more than a hundred years ago caused a winged monster to fly out of it, Lian Gu Cliff has been shrouded in mist year-round.

Very few people come down the cliff. Occasionally, a curious and daring person falls off the cliff and disappears without a trace.

Over time, this place became a taboo in folk legends. Some say it is the lair of monsters, while others say it is the dwelling place of gods.

Lian Gu Cliff has become a desolate cliff.

That afternoon, a woman dressed in a green robe and wearing a bamboo hat walked slowly toward Lian Gu Cliff.

The woman was none other than Feng Jiutian, who had come from the Prime Minister's residence.

Lian Gu Cliff was recommended by Xuan Ji Zi, who said that he had unintentionally visited it once before his death, and that it was absolutely secluded and undisturbed!

So, under Xuanji Zi's verbal guidance, she arrived at Lian Gu Cliff outside the city.

To avoid trouble, she changed her appearance slightly after leaving home, and put on a straw hat.

"Old man, is this the place you're talking about?" Feng Jiutian arrived at the cliff and looked down. The cliff was shrouded in a white mist, making it seem bottomless.

“Yes. This place is secluded and remote, making it a perfect spot for taking elixirs,” Xuanji Zi said, her voice tinged with inexplicable excitement.

For some reason, I always felt a little eerie.

What is this old man so excited about?

It seems that the one who needs the antidote is her.

“It is indeed a good place. But didn’t you say that monsters roam here?” Feng Jiutian frowned slightly and said.

"Who said that? I'm talking about rumors, just rumors in the human world. As for monsters, those are just things that ordinary people don't understand." Xuanji Zi said with some disdain.

"Oh?" Feng Jiutian raised an eyebrow. "Then what about the rumors you mentioned from over a hundred years ago...?"

"That's just another member of the demon race being born," Xuanji Zi said lazily. "It's too early to tell you all this now. Just remember that in this realm we live in, there are many races that you can't deal with right now. You'll gradually learn about them in the future."

"The demon race?" Feng Jiutian's heart skipped a beat. "Didn't the records of the Divine Kingdom say that all the demons were wiped out hundreds of years ago?"

During this time, Feng Jiutian was not idle and naturally absorbed a lot of knowledge about this world.

However, according to folklore, the demon was destroyed long ago, otherwise there would be no peace today.

But is this really the case?

Perhaps, in the eyes of ordinary people, they have indeed never seen demons appear so freely as they did hundreds of years ago.

Over time, demons seemed to become extremely mysterious beings, and some even believed they had been extinct.

But the reality is always unexpected.

"The demon race was wiped out? How could that be? How can we believe what's recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian!"

Xuanji Zi yawned, "Although it is extremely difficult for demons to be born, once they are born, their physical qualities, reaction speed, and cultivation ability are many times faster than those of humans. Therefore, there are often more high-level demons than humans. However, because humans reproduce quickly, cultivation mages can just restrain demons, thus forming a clever balance."

The sorcerer is probably similar to the Taoist priests in Chinese folklore, right?

In fact, although Feng Jiutian knew about the cultivation professions in this world from historical records and his memories, he had never actually seen a so-called 'mage'.

Feng Lingyu is a martial arts cultivator, and Feng Lingfu is also a martial arts cultivator with crimson talent. As for the other young members of the Feng family who can cultivate, they are said to have all entered cultivation academies. Those who cannot cultivate were already seen during the talent test, and they are really not that great!

Perhaps because he had never been exposed to the cultivation world, Feng Jiutian had very little information about that aspect!

"Alright, there's no point in saying more now. Quickly take the 'Fog-Avoiding Pill' I gave you and go down. This fog is associated with that demon, and it's quite poisonous."

"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian took out a small bottle from his bosom, poured out a jade-green pill, and swallowed it.

Then, he pulled out two small black sickles from the brim of his hat, gripped them tightly in his left and right hands, and leaned his left side down the cliff.

"Snapped!"

The sickle held in his right hand was deeply embedded in the soil of the cliff. His left and right feet were planted firmly on the foundation stones, and then the sickle in his left hand was embedded further down.

After several attempts, it took about an hour and a half to finally reach the bottom of the cliff.
