Paco had no feelings for Lilian, who was arrogant and domineering. She even asked him to bring his monster beasts to join the Harrod family. Paco had given up his last shred of compassion for Lilian. He would not have kept in touch with Lilian if not for his useless son. Now that his son was dead, he wanted to cut off all ties. If Philip’s resources had not caught his attention, he would have left already. He had no intention of taking revenge for his useless son at all. Terence did not inherit any monster beast genes and looked more human, which displeased Paco. Terence could not even transform into a monster beast, which showed how useless he was. If Terence had the bloodline of a monster beast, his practice speed would have been astonishingly fast. He would have been able to level up to such an extent that no one could touch him. However, he was no good and simply an embarrassment to Paco. Paco could not hold his head high with this son. Now that Terence was dead
Due to her lowly status, many other guilds did not treat Lilian well either. Lilian felt inferior enough because of that. Unexpectedly, Philip treated her the same way. Was she such a pushover that everyone could take advantage of? Lilian’s expression changed rapidly. She was too angry for words. Philip saw her face so clearly that he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. “Wow, this woman’s face can change color!” Philip joked. It was his first time seeing such animated expressions on a woman’s face. Lilian’s face had flushed so red that it almost turned purple. “You killed my son. I have to settle the score with you,” Lilian said through gritted teeth, wishing she could kill Philip. Philip looked unfamiliar, so he was probably not from a big guild. Lilian believed that he should not know about her status in the Harrod family. As a member of the Harrod family, she could use this fact to threaten Philip. Philip knew she was here for revenge but had no idea
The pills given by Philip were so amazing that Elmer could not afford to get angry even if he wanted to. “Patriarch, have you gone mad?” Lilian was so angry that she had forgotten her position. If Elmer did not seek justice on her behalf, she had to forget about this vengeance. Before Elmer could criticize Lilian, the host announced that the auction had begun. This auction was very different from others. They did not even have a list of items. No one knew what would happen next. It was a mysterious auction, indeed. Everyone sat in confusion, staring at the host on the stage eagerly. It was quite bizarre for the Harrod family to organize an auction like this. “Say, you don’t even have an auction list for us. What are we supposed to expect?” someone in the crowd finally complained. They felt the Harrod family was too hasty in holding this auction, and the fees incurred were not low. Everyone felt very unhappy after spending a huge sum of money to attend such a useless
The onlookers were not stupid and knew that the changes happened after they smelled the herbal fragrance. After everyone realized the pill's effect, Elmer kept the pill in a bottle. He looked at everyone smugly as if he could not wait to brag about it. Everyone scowled, feeling that he was up to no good. When Elmer put away the pill, they immediately felt everything returning to normal. The ability to automatically absorb the surrounding energy was gone. The energy recovery also stopped. They had returned to a state of energy deprivation. Feeling the changes in their bodies, everyone seemed troubled. “Patriarch Harrod, can you show us the pill again?” someone suggested. Everyone looked at Elmer expectantly. They wanted to smell the pill again as they were amazed by its effects. Just a whiff could produce such changes in their bodies. What would happen if they ate it? “Did you show us this pill because it’s for sale? If that’s the case, I'm willing to pay a pre
Everyone stared at Elmer eagerly. They could not wait to get their hands on the pill. “Stop talking and get on with the auction!” “That’s right. Hurry up and state the price. I’ll buy it no matter how much it costs!” Everyone knew this thing could save their lives and would buy it no matter how expensive it was. However, it was not that easy to get it with so many forces around. “We've prepared five different types of pills with two pills each,” the host announced calmly, but he was panicking inwardly. He had no idea that the patriarch would be auctioning such a precious pill. As a member of the Harrod family, he did not know that the patriarch had such a treasure. He wondered why the pill was put up for auction instead of using it within the family, but someone in his position had no right to ask questions. He could only do the job assigned to him. Hearing that there were two pills of each kind up for auction, everyone became excited. Everyone smiled brightly and
The two energy replenishment pills were quickly sold at very high prices. Philip looked at the list and saw that one of the buyers was the Pill Guild. The Pill Guild was indeed very wealthy to spend so many emerald stones to buy an ordinary pill. Other pills with different effects were also auctioned off one after another, seemingly very popular with the crowd. Philip only accepted emerald stones for this auction, and some hoarders clearly gained the upper hand. Those who did not prepare enough emerald stones were very regretful. Surprisingly, the Pill Guild managed to get five pills, accounting for half of the total. They were very wealthy, indeed. Other guilds had to think twice about spending so much money, but not the Pill Guild. They bought one of each type and left the remaining for the others to fight over. After the auction, Philip got his wish and received a lot of money. The auction ended, but no one left. They wanted to get to know Philip. Everyone kn
Philip made it very clear, and everyone frowned. If the Pill Guild had not interrupted, the others would have forgotten their extreme move of buying five pills. “Hehe, the Pill Guild is quite over the top!” “They kept saying that we should oppose this, but they bought five pills under our noses!” Everyone’s taunts sounded very harsh in the ears of an elder of the Pill Guild. He threw up blood and fell to the ground. Philip went too far. The members of the Pill Guild turned their heads away at the harsh criticisms. Although it was not to the extent that they would throw up blood in anger, they were members of the Pill Guild, after all. They would be uneasy if the Pill Guild came under scrutiny. However, that was indeed the case. They had taken half of the pills, leaving no options for the other families. Nonetheless, the families did not dare to criticize the Pill Guild either. They knew that such pills were far and few between. They still had to rely on the Pill
Maurice’s anger was quickly replaced by a bright smile. He knew that Philip could not escape his clutches. Philip noticed his rapid change of expression and felt exasperated. This guy had to be out of his mind. Philip knew exactly what Maurice was thinking. Since he had the guts for it, Philip had nothing to fear either. “I know you’re making preparations to enter the secular world. In that case, let us meet there.” Philip waved to everyone and turned around to leave. Then, he noticed a woman staring at him. This woman's eyes were full of anger as if she wanted to rip him into pieces. Philip frowned in confusion. He did not recognize this woman with average looks. As Philip turned to leave, everyone pondered over his words. They were practitioners of high status. They left the Harrod family's compound in a flash without any hesitation. Now that Philip had promised to start selling his pills, they had to raise money quickly. Everyone wanted to buy his pills.
“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
