Everyone was shocked by Philip’s words. As reclusive practitioners, they thought they were quite knowledgeable, but no one had heard of such pills before. “C-Can you sell these pills?” Denzel smiled brightly, ready to fawn over Philip. Philip glanced at the eagle in the distance. The moment he saw the eagle, he knew that something was wrong with it. “Of course. As the person in charge of the arena, I’m willing to present one to you. It’s extremely difficult to make this pill, so it’s very precious. It’ll probably take a long time before I can make the next one,” Philip said ruefully and handed a pill to Denzel. His acting was quite good, which displayed his reluctance to part with it. Only Philip knew that he had added various poisons to this pill. This pill could indeed restore one’s energy, but taking it was equivalent to taking hundreds of poisons. One after another, it would all start to take effect within a month. The victim would be tortured to death. Philip had
Denzel looked at Philip resentfully and said, “You can stay here while I make a move. I’ll make other arrangements for you when I have time.” Since Philip had agreed to join him, Denzel was not in a hurry. His priority now was to take care of the pill. As Denzel left quickly, other spectators followed suit. They knew that they had to act fast. Paco followed Denzel and watched the surroundings carefully. “Many people are on the way. You need to watch out,” Paco reminded him softly. Philip and Fennel took a camouflage pill and chased after them. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big commotion. Sure enough, when they caught up, Denzel was already surrounded by many people. The eagle that was perched on his shoulder was staring at everyone fixedly. “Hehe, Denzel, why don’t you hand over the pill quickly? You’re not worthy of having it!” an old man said. He had gray hair and acted with an air of superiority, putting pressure on Denzel with hos
Thinking of this, Denzel's attitude grew more arrogant. “If you dare to force me, I’ll eat this pill and no one will get it in the end!” Denzel played tough, making it difficult for the others. Stealing was not a problem, but they were afraid that Denzel would destroy the pill in his anger. “If you really want this pill, why don’t you look for the person who made it? That young man has agreed to join us and will serve the Harrod family from now on! If we produce this pill again in the future, we can consider selling it at a high price, and you can just buy it when the time comes.” Denzel chuckled. He wanted to use his wit to convince everyone. “Harmony is the best policy!” Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. They knew that the best option was to find the young man who made the pill, but who knew if he was the one who made it? If he was just bragging, what should they do? Since there was an existing pill here, everyone wanted to get their hands on it first. “Wh
The news quickly spread among everyone present. Even Philip and Fennel overheard the whole story, which was quite exciting. Denzel and Paco scowled darkly. “I won’t allow you to speak of my sister like that!” Denzel threw fireballs at everyone, but the fireballs were not very powerful and could only serve as a deterrent. The old man laughed even more loudly at Denzel’s words. “Oh, is that disgraceful woman your sister? The Harrod family is very kind for not kicking her out of the family yet!” The old man almost fell to the ground from laughing so much. Paco was furious at this scene. He did not care if someone laughed at the Harrod family, but these people were insulting him. So what if he was a monster beast? “Are you saying that you look down on monster beasts?” Paco said with a cold killing intent. Feeling the overwhelming murderous intent, everyone stopped laughing. The old man felt his strength and became serious. He could feel that the other party was re
As Denzel and Paco were lost in anxiety, Rick smiled as he escaped. Although Rick did not take action, he had a powerful technique that allowed him to make a swap. He could steal anything even under Paco’s nose. Rick carefully put the pill into a box he had already prepared. Members of the Pill Guild had their unique way of storing pills. He had to hurry back to the guild. He had to inform the elders of the guild about this magical pill. To prevent Paco from chasing after him, Rick ran as fast as he could back to the guild with his Earth Traversing Technique. When he arrived, the elders were having tea with the guild leader. They noticed his miserable state and frowned. “I've told you many times to pay attention to your image when you’re outside. As a senior member of the Pill Guild, you represent us wherever you go!” The First Elder, Oscar, said angrily. Rick was none other than his student. Seeing the wretched look on his usually elegant and obedient student,
First Elder Oscar wanted to speak up on Rick’s behalf at first, but he felt embarrassed after seeing the jelly bean presented. He wished he could stuff his head into the ground if there was a hole right now. Rick saw everyone's reactions and read their thoughts. “Don't get me wrong. This pill is perfectly made!” At first, Rick also thought it was a jelly bean with nothing special about it. However, he witnessed how Philip had quickly recovered from his injuries and restored his energy after taking the pill. It was enough to prove that this pill was genuine. With only one pill in hand, he could not prove it to them. The only choice was for the leader to study it. Seeing Rick’s excitement, Oscar hesitated. He felt that he could trust Rick. “Leader, why don’t we study the pill?” Oscar suggested nervously. Although he also thought it was a jelly bean, he chose to believe his student in the end. Rick looked at Oscar gratefully and smiled brightly. “Thank you, tea
Rick nodded with certainty, and the leader scowled. He did not expect to hear Denzel Harrod's name. Denzel was nothing special, but the Harrod family was difficult to mess with. It was not that easy to steal someone from the Harrod family. “Also, the monster beast son-in-law of the Harrod family is back. I almost got killed by him just now!” Rick felt a lingering fear. He did his fair share in mocking Paco. If he had been more conspicuous, he would have met the same fate as the old man. The leader's expression became more serious. After much deliberation, he decided to talk to the Harrod family in person. “I’ll arrange a time to meet with the Harrod family. I hope there’s nothing wrong with your information.” The leader sighed and decided to talk to them in person. Now that the Harrod family had taken the lead in acquiring the pill maker, the Pill Guild had lost the head start. In that case, the leader could only take a step back and find a way to talk to them.
Paco did not have a good impression of the Harrod family. They only saw him as a burden and a disgrace. They never said anything good about him. As the supreme king of the eagle monster beasts, how could he tolerate stupid humans humiliating him like this? If his son were not in the Harrod family, he would have already regarded them as his enemies. “You stay here for now. I'll meet them.” Denzel opened the door solemnly and hurried to the living room. The leader of the Pill Guild had the same status as their family head, so he was sure that the head of the Harrod family would not dare to neglect him. Sure enough, when the leader arrived at the living room, he found that many people were already there. The leader of the Pill Guild and the head of the Harrod family sat drinking tea without speaking. Denzel felt nervous at this scene. Denzel was considered an ordinary family member, so his appearance did not cause any commotion. The leader and family head smiled afte
“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
“I won’t be joining your guild, but I don’t mind being a spectator. At least I can watch the fun. I know that you’re quite strong, so you don’t need me. As long as nothing unexpected happens, I don’t think you’ll face a problem.” Philip smiled indifferently, quite confident that nothing much would happen. The overall strength of the Celestial Palace had improved significantly, so they really had nothing to worry about. Jamie was relieved to hear that. In that case, he could rest assured.… The guild competition officially kicked off, and everyone was ready to battle it out. The battles were not something that simply required strength to resolve. Occasionally, the competitors required tactics too. As Alain was feeling anxious, his reinforcement finally arrived at the scene. The hooded man turned up with some potions, ready to carry out his task. “Hey, you’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t see you again.” Alain was worried. He knew that he was in a precarious situati
“Father, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” Hogster sat by Alain’s bedside and asked in a panic. Hogster would not have been worried about Alain in the past, but things were different now. They were facing various crises. Without his father to take care of things, they would be doomed. Alain coughed violently and fumbled around for some healing pills before stuffing them into his mouth. The pills were not useful for his injuries but could at least relieve his pain. After Alain took the pills, Hogster hugged him excitedly. “This is great! I thought you were about to drop dead.” Alain almost died in anger over his son’s remark. “Hogster, you have to take part in the competition on behalf of the guild. This is the best chance for you to become stronger. You’ll make a name for yourself if you do this.” Alain held Hogster's hand and placed all his hopes on him. Hearing that, Hogster said awkwardly, “Father, although I’m quite strong, you can’t do this to me! How am I suppose
The rabbit had a very expressive face as if it was watching Alain make a fool of himself. “You’re quite the smooth talker. If you have more words of encouragement, let’s hear them.” Hay dangled from Rabbit's mouth, and he seemed disdainful. Alain seemed conflicted at the sight of Rabbit and felt like he was looking at Philip instead. “Why are you here?” This rabbit was weird, and no one could control it. As far as Alain knew, the rabbit was famous in major cities and good at picking fights. “Of course, I’m here to teach you a lesson. Do you think I traveled this far to buy you a meal?” After saying this, Rabbit jumped up and kicked Alain, who started spitting mouthfuls of blood. Alain was strong in his own right, so there was no way he would be helpless against an attack. However, he simply could not resist Rabbit and could only suffer a beating. The guild members in the surroundings closed their eyes, feeling sorry for their guild leader. No one thought they could win th
It seemed that Alain had overestimated his importance. “Hey, wait a minute. Don't be so hasty. I just want to think about how to make things better. You should know that things are not as simple as you think. If I agree so easily, others might target me.” The hooded man sneered inwardly at Alain’s flattering appearance. He knew that Alain was probably trying to bargain with him. “I thought you wouldn’t consider it, but you seem quite willing to work with us.” The hooded man smiled calmly as if mocking Alain from the bottom of his heart. Although Alain was being ridiculed, he could not say a word. The hooded man held the reins, so Alain had no choice but to obey. “I don’t mind this cooperation, but we need to plan this thoroughly. If you can help my guild to make a comeback in this competition, I can agree to your condition. Since you found me, you should know the trouble my guild is facing right now. Philip and his people are messing with us, and the Celestial Palace is keepi
Alain was a smart man and quickly grasped the key point. It seemed that this man was here to help him. “Tell me what you want. Stop wasting my time. If you’re here to help me, let’s have an open discussion.” Alain was no longer nervous and stared at the other party calmly. Hearing that, the hooded man smiled smugly. “I know that your guild is facing a crisis. I can help you with that. I can get rid of all your problems and also ensure that your guild scores victory. Although I can't guarantee that you’ll win the championship, taking one of the top spots won’t be a problem.” The hooded man spoke calmly as if he was confident that Alain would agree. Sure enough, Alain was expectant to hear this man’s offer to help him. At a moment of crisis, it was every man for himself. Right now, no one was willing to help him or lend a helping hand. Alain thought that this was too much of a coincidence. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want in return?” Alain knew that
