“Young Master Philip, the 3,000 years mentioned in the ancient texts may not be very credible and perhaps just exaggerated.” Seeing Philip’s look of dejection, Dr. Gates coughed lightly and said, “However, don’t be discouraged. Although this prescription is hard to come by, I’ll try my best to read the ancient books again to find out if there’s a remedy to alleviate the young madam’s illness.” Philip nodded. He felt very empty, disappointed, and upset. “Dr. Gates, I'll be counting on you, then,” Philip said respectfully with a bow. Dr. Gates quickly helped Philip up and said, “Young Master Philip, you don’t have to do this. I’m just one of the Clarke family’s doctors and I should do my best. You don’t have to bow to me.” Philip did not say anything but looked at Dr. Gates very seriously and said, “Dr. Gates, don’t tell the young madam about this matter for now.” Dr. Gates naturally understood and answered with a nod, “I understand, please rest assured. I’ll go back and pres
At this moment, a tiny figure was rubbing her sleepy eyes. She was wearing a cute pair of pink pajamas and standing at the bedroom door. “Daddy.” Mila called out and walked in wearing big pink slippers. Philip smiled, bent over, and picked Mila up. He bopped her nose and asked, “Why are you awake?” Mila hid in Philip’s arms in fear and said, “I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Mom left me and went far away.” While saying that, Mila looked at the sleeping Wynn on the bed and wanted to call out to her. Philip immediately put a finger to his mouth in a shushing gesture and said, “Mom is asleep. Let me play with you for a while.” Mila nodded, looking very cute with her hair slightly disheveled. The father and daughter sat in the living room to play at this moment. While playing, Philip noticed a small object hanging from Mila’s neck. It was a small green bottle carved with patterns and there was a red string on both ends. The bottle was about the size of a little finger.
Wynn was stunned. Philip actually had a great-great-grandfather. Was that not her father-in-law’s great-grandfather? The generation gap was too huge! For a while, Wynn was a little flustered. She stared reproachfully at Philip and said, “Why didn't you tell me earlier? You nearly got me into trouble.” After that, Wynn took Mila, who was still drinking her milk, back to the room and started changing. About half an hour later, Wynn changed into a long white dress with a small trench coat. Her hair was coiled on her head, and she put on high heels. With light makeup on, she looked very savvy and approachable. “How is it? Do I look okay?” Wynn looked at herself and glanced at Philip expectantly. Philip stroked his chin, nodded, and said, “Okay, this is fine. The grand elder is not a particular person.” Wynn rolled her eyes at him and said, “How can we act so casually? No way, I’ll change into another outfit.” With that said, Wynn returned to the room. Ten minutes later, she
Soon, the four arrived at the middle hall. At this moment, an old man with his hand behind his back was looking at the birdcage hanging in the yard. From a distance, the old man was dressed in plain clothes, looking quite hale and hearty. Horace walked in with Philip and the others. He bowed slightly to the old man and said, “Grand Elder, Philip has brought his wife and child to visit you.” The grand elder turned around with a benevolent smile. He looked at Philip who was grinning broadly, stretched out his hand in a beckon, and said, “Little Monkey, are you finally willing to come back and visit this lonely old man?” Philip stepped forward, bowed to the old man, and said with a smile, “Grand Elder, I’m here to visit you.” The old man rolled his eyes at Philip before looking at Wynn and Mila who were standing with trepidation on the side. Then, with a smile on his face, he beckoned to Wynn and Mila while saying, “Come here, all of you. There are not so many rules to follo
At this moment, the grand elder was lying on a wicker chair, enjoying tea and listening to music. “Little Monkey, refill my tea,” the old man called out. Philip walked over with a few steps, refilled the old man’s teapot, and sat next to him. The old man glanced at Philip and asked with a faint smile, “Something on your mind?” Philip squeezed out a smile and said, “Nothing.” The old man chuckled, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and said, “I watched you grow up. I can tell at a glance that you have something on your mind. If you tell me, perhaps I can help.” Philip thought for a while, got up, and sat down next to the grand elder. He refilled the old man’s teacup before asking, “Grand Elder, I want to ask you something.” The old man hummed and said, “What is it? Why are you so secretive and why do you look so serious?” Philip pondered for a moment and asked, “Do you know about the Multidew Herb?” “Multidew Herb?” The grand elder suddenly repeated and sa
His mother actually knew about the Multidew Herb? “Grand Elder, what’s going on? Why did Mother leave you this thing?” Philip asked. The old man shook his head and said with a smile, “Your mother’s talent is the first in this world, and no one would dare to say no to her. She must have her reasons for leaving this thing behind. Back then, your mother and your father were in charge of the sixth and seventh zones in the Nonagon. They were known as the double emperors. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the turmoil in the Nonagon broke out. Your parents had no choice but to leave. Your mother's accident was more or less related to the Nonagon. Perhaps it was also connected to the Multidew Herb.” The grand elder looked at the sky, lost in thoughts. Waves of sadness appeared on his face. Philip listened in amazement. He had already learned from Fennel Leigh that his mother’s accident was related to the Nonagon. However, the Multidew Herb was also related to his mother now. C
Back to Philip’s side. In the afternoon, he brought Wynn and Mila to his third mother’s residence. Aria Tsar’s place was plain and simple. The decoration style was homely and elegant. At Wynn and the child’s arrival, Aria came out from the backyard with a loving smile on her face. She stepped forward and took Wynn’s hand while saying, “Wynnie, I’ve heard so much about you from Hazel and Nadia. Seeing you today, you’re indeed a beauty. Come here and sit down. You just gave birth and shouldn’t stand for too long.” “Third Mother.” Wynn inclined slightly and addressed her politely. Aria was very fond of Wynn and Mila. “This must be Mila. How cute!” Aria pinched Mila’s chubby face dotingly. Wynn said to Mila, “This is Third Grandma.” Mila looked up at Aria with her big eyes and greeted, “Third Grandma.” Aria kept laughing happily and started chatting with Wynn and Mila. Poor Philip was just a decoration next to them. After the meal, Wynn and Aria chatted for a few mo
After Christian stood up, the elders and people in charge of the branch family, as well as the young masters and young ladies, finally dared to follow suit. Then, Christian left the memorial hall with the man in his 50s. After Christian left, the other members of the branch family in the memorial hall finally dared to air their grievances. “Oh, my legs are numb! It's all that damned Philip’s fault!” “Yes, damn it! After kneeling here all night, I’m nearly starving to death!” The group of pampered young masters and young ladies felt dizzy. They could not wait to leave the memorial hall and go back to the comfort of their own homes. In the memorial hall, more than a dozen elders and people in charge of the branch family remained. At this moment, they looked at each other. Some helplessly shook their heads and sighed before saying, “I’ll be going back, then. After one night of suffering, my body can’t take it anymore.” “I’m leaving too. I still have things to handle at the
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
The hooded man was very interested in Rabbit and wanted to make contact with him to find out more about him. He quickly found Philip’s house and was surprised to find that it was surrounded by a barrier that blocked all his perceptions, which made him conflicted. It was not a place he could enter at will. He felt some energy fluctuations from formations too. If he was not mistaken, entering this place would be dangerous for him. After much deliberation, he turned around and left without staying any longer. His visit here was enough to verify his guess. Since Philip could come up with such a powerful formation and barrier, he was certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the very least, Philip was not someone he could deal with so easily. As for Rabbit, the hooded man was not bothered by him at all. He just wanted to know how Philip subdued such a powerful pet. The hooded man had dealt with many monster beasts in the past but failed to subdue any. He had even suffered badly un
“Philip's strength mostly comes from his very powerful pet rabbit. Although it's a monster beast, it's a force to be reckoned with. It isn't something anyone can deal with,” Hogster said with lingering fear. He could not forget how Rabbit had beaten Alain to a pulp. “Yes, the rabbit is a force to be reckoned with. You'd better not mess with it for no reason. I really wonder where such a powerful monster beast came from.” Alain seemed very steadfast, but he was already having a mental meltdown. However, he did not want to embarrass himself in public, so he gritted his teeth and hung on. The hooded man looked at Alain and sneered inwardly. He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to him. “Take this or I’m afraid you’ll collapse soon.” He could notice Alain’s condition at a glance and knew he would not last long. “Forget it. I won’t hide it from you. In fact, the rabbit inflicted all these injuries on me. I wouldn’t be in this miserable state if the rabbit weren’t that
Although the strength of the test subject had increased, he was not highly valued at all because his talent was not affected and did not meet the guild’s requirements. “Okay, you may leave now. Your strength has improved, so make sure to practice hard and don’t let us down,” Alain said grandly, sending the other party away. He knew that this person was nothing but a loser. The guild member who was the test subject had no idea how pathetic he was. Instead, he looked at Alain with excitement and gratitude. Hogster swallowed the potion without hesitation. He quickly felt the changes in his body as if he had become very powerful in just a few seconds. Hogster looked at the hooded man in surprise. He never thought that he could become so strong. “Wow, this is amazing!” Hogster was shocked by this unexpected outcome. His lack of self-esteem was quickly replaced with brimming confidence, and he even had the urge to mess with Philip. In his opinion, Philip was nothing special. Now
“Don’t worry, I mean no harm. That thing is quite good.” The silly member took the potion nervously and looked at Alain expectantly. “Sir, I think I’m getting stronger!” The silly guy showed off his strength excitedly. Alain stepped forward and examined the guild member curiously. Sure enough, his strength had increased. Alain found the increase in strength quite incredible. Moreover, he did not find any side effects on the other party, which was the most surprising. This potion was amazing beyond anyone’s imagination! Alain was very excited and wished he could take it too. “I believe you should know the value of this potion. Just win the competition and stop worrying about the rest.” Alain and the hooded man stepped aside to discuss offering the boys and girls. Hogster was taken aback to hear them. The two quickly reached an agreement as they knew how unethical this transaction was. “Father, you actually agreed to his request! Aren't you afraid that it’ll be expose
By taking the potion, a person could increase their overall strength, and there would be no side effects. It was a miracle potion, indeed. Alain was stunned to hear that. He felt that the hooded man was bragging. How could there be such an amazing potion? “Are you serious? It can’t be that simple.” Alain took the potion from the other party and sized it up, wondering if he should trust this thing. “If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. I don’t mind. You have many people under your command anyway. You can choose to use them as a test subject.” The hooded man was quite cold and aloof in both his actions and speech. Alain nervously clenched the potion tightly. “In that case, I’ll give it a try. Let me find someone.” Alain did not fully trust the hooded man’s words. In his opinion, it was better to play it safe. Who knew if anything would happen? He was nervous about giving something like this to his precious son. At this time, a guild member who was not highly valu
