They might stand a chance to get the item if they used potions in exchange for it. Preston had not come across anything he wanted, so he had not taken his potions out. Philip smiled at Preston’s gesture. He did not intend to take Preston’s stuff. Instead, he planned to hand his things to Preston and ask Preston to bid for the item. “I bid one billion for this item!” While everyone discussed this orb, someone in the audience below suddenly spoke. Everyone looked over curiously and saw an unfamiliar young man. They wondered about the other party’s identity while mobilizing their funds. Normal people would find it impossible to exchange in kind. No one could come up with valuable things in exchange for this item. They could only bid and raise the price. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Cockatrice Orb soared to four billion. This price had exceeded most people’s expectations. It was incredible that these people had so much money to spend lavishly. “It’s
Although these things were valuable, most of them were available on the market, so it would not make any difference at the auction. As for the Stein family's seven billion in funds, Philip had no intention of using them. He could not afford to pay back seven billion. Since he wanted to get the Cockatrice Orb, no one else should pay for it. Philip patted Preston on the shoulder and motioned for him to put the things away. “I don’t need your potions or money. I need you to do me a favor.” Philip smiled. “Take this pill and use your identity to exchange for that item.” Philip knew that the Stein family had a certain status. Anyone who knew anything about reclusive families would not dare to mess with Preston. The best option was to get Preston to face the public. For any pill transactions in the future, the Stein family could also do it on his behalf. Preston became solemn at Philip’s suggestion. He knew that he could not change Philip’s decision. He could only exc
Preston was very outspoken and did not mince his words. Hearing this, displeasure flashed across Sandra's face. In her years of roaming the streets, no one had ever dared to speak to her like this! “What makes you so arrogant? You got your position with Philip’s help too. Could you get in here without Philip?” Sandra scowled at Preston’s loftiness. This guy was just an errand boy. He had no right to speak to her this way! With Sandra's qualifications and abilities, she had no right to know anyone from the Stein family, so it was normal for her to assume that Preston was an errand boy. Preston burst into laughter at Sandra’s words. He did not rush to deny anything. He merely smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’m just an errand boy. As for you, you don’t even stand a chance to ride on other people’s coattails,” Preston retaliated harshly. Philip looked at Sandra coldly with no intention of helping her. Sandra was disappointed in Philip’s indifference. She thought that she
Everyone knew about the amazing lite potion. After taking it, a person’s body would become extremely light. When escaping, one’s running speed would be accelerated many times. It was a definite life-saver. Therefore, the lite potion was a necessary tool for survival. Many people were very interested in this potion and asked if they could purchase it privately. The old man smiled and said, “The Forrest Guild is proficient in making potions, but the lite potion is very costly to make, and the materials are scarce, so we only have five sets. This is the sum of our hard work over the years. Each potion is extremely expensive. "We can consider selling them, but the price will be pretty steep. This time, we plan to use three panax roots and one lite potion in exchange for the Cockatrice Orb.” The elder of the Forrest Guild seemed very proud of his guild. Preston made his appearance at this time. “I have a replenishment pill that can replenish one's energy after taking it. I'm
In Rocco’s opinion, although the Cockatrice Orb was important, he could get it back after getting rid of Philip. There were very few opportunities to exchange for pills, so he could not miss it! “You may auction the other pill. I only want money.” Preston handed both pills to the staff, who presented the Cockatrice Orb to him. Rocco received one of the replenishment pills with trembling hands. He could feel endless energy from this extraordinary pill! At the same time, he was apprehensive about the Stein family. To produce this terrifying pill proved their solid background. He had to avoid Preston and deal with Philip secretly. He would be doomed if Preston discovered his plot. Although he was not afraid of Preston, he must have a lot of pills on hand since his family produced them. Rocco would not have an advantage in a fight, so sneaking up on Philip was the best option. The replenishment pill was quickly put on auction, and the price was soon raised to tens o
Philip had roughly guessed the situation! No wonder no one followed him. It turned out that these people had gotten hold of his information and were waiting in ambush at his home! Philip hastily kicked the house door open and rushed inside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw four people tied up. They were none other than Wynn and the others! Mila was tied up so tightly that her arms were red and chaffed. Martha was sobbing while wiggling on the ground like an earthworm. “You’re finally back.” The leader dressed in black grinned brightly as Philip barged in. He had been waiting here for more than ten minutes. Philip was finally home. Before Philip could question him, a man in a suit walked out from the side. “What took you so long? Did you think we got someone to follow you? How stupid!” That person was none other than Rocco. Philip glared at him furiously, surprised by his viciousness. “No matter what, you shouldn’t have gotten my family members involved.”
Philip did not expect that his daughter would be so bold. “Okay, I promise you that I won’t let them escape.” Rocco clearly heard the conversation between Philip and Mila. He simply sneered at Philip. “Are you kidding me? Your family members are all tied up here. I can kill them with just one order. I have more than a dozen men with me. Do you really think you can kill me?” Philip laughed at Rocco’s arrogance. “Do you think you can leave alive?” Rocco was furious at Philip’s taunt. “Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the Stein family is behind you! I avoided them on purpose this time just to kill you! By the time I silence all of you, this incident will become a cold case!” Philip sneered at Rocco’s words. It was indeed a good plan to silence them. Since Rocco had decided to kill their family of five, why should Philip waste his breath on him? He glanced at the dozen or so subordinates. There were four experts at the peak of the first zon
“What the hell is going on?” Rocco was dumbfounded and in shock. Wynn came to Philip's side and glared daggers at Rocco. Although Charles was an ordinary person, he took a kitchen knife and stood next to Philip. He was all geared up to use it. Philip looked at Rocco with a sneer. He had no intention of letting him leave alive today. Philip was not a kind person. He entered the world of practitioners early on and knew all about the rules. Combined with his experience in the land of the other shore in the past three years, such things were common occurrences to Philip. He had to weed out the grass by its roots. He would never leave any potential danger behind because of his soft-heartedness. Wynn stared at Rocco unhappily. This brazen man actually wanted to kill her whole family! Rocco panicked. As a practitioner in the middle stage of the second zone, he could not resist Philip at all. Philip’s strength was beyond his imagination. No wonder Preston obeyed Philip!
“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
