Philip shook his head helplessly. He had no idea what his current level on this continent was. “I made this pill. Maybe you can estimate my current level with this.” Philip tossed the problem to Mr. Lindell and handed over a pill. As a pill fanatic, Mr. Lindell swallowed the pill in one gulp. He just wanted to please Philip and maybe learn a few tricks from him. Although he did not know Philip’s level, his pill-making mastery had to be higher than his. Most of the pills Mr. Lindell made were given to the royal family. A small portion was sold to Bijou Parlor, and another portion was sold to wealthy casual practitioners. He knew that Bijou Parlor not only bought his pills but also kept a lookout for other treasures in various places. Sometimes, they would find some ancient pills that attracted Mr. Lindell’s attention. It was true that Bijou Parlor often brought surprises to people, but it could not hold a candle to Treasure House. “This pill!” Mr. Lindell savored
As a pill fanatic, Mr. Lindell had always dreamed of achieving great heights in this field. Others felt that he was already at the peak, but he knew that it was far from enough. Everything was just the beginning. Philip’s pill was nothing less than an elixir. Just one whiff and Mr. Lindell was totally captivated. Mr. Lindell wished he could grab hold of Philip and acknowledge him. On second thought, however, his family had nothing to do with Philip. How could he acknowledge Philip as one of his own? After much deliberation, he knelt to Philip. Philip was confused by his actions. What was this guy doing? The man in black was shocked and wanted to help Mr. Lindell up but stopped at the look in Mr. Lindell's eyes. Mr. Lindell was kneeling in front of Philip so humbly. Outsiders would definitely be shocked at this scene. No one could imagine Mr. Lindell on his knees. As a high-ranking alchemist, even the ruler of this continent had to give him some slack. An alc
It was easy for an ordinary practitioner to give up their practice, but Mr. Lindell was the top alchemist on this continent. If he gave up his knowledge, there was no guarantee he could make a comeback. Mr. Lindell was worried when he saw Philip’s hesitance. He did not want to give up this opportunity. “Please teach me the knowledge of making pills. I’m willing to pay any price!” Mr. Lindell burst into tears. He was obsessed with this field. Philip sighed. “If you want to learn my method of making pills, you have to forget everything you've learned! It’s no different from asking you to give up all your past achievements! Do you think you can accept that?” Philip asked sternly. No normal person could accept this, let alone Mr. Lindell, who was already in a high position. He would be doomed if he turned into an ordinary practitioner. The man in black was nervous. He knew his master's character and was afraid that Mr. Lindell would agree. Mr. Lindell thought about it a
Maybe in another continent, practice resources were scarcer than in this place. Philip was simply lucky enough to find good things wherever he went. As the chosen one, he had to be different somehow. Mr. Lindell took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. It was too late for the man in black to stop him. The man in black looked at Mr. Lindell nervously. He heard Philip’s introduction of the pill but doubted if the pill would really cause partial amnesia. What if the pill was highly toxic? Fortunately, Mr. Lindell's silence did not last long. He quickly returned to normal and lowered his stature to Philip. “I do feel that I've lost part of my memory, and my life feels empty.” Mr. Lindell laughed at himself. He had spent most of his life making and studying pills. Losing this part of his memory was equivalent to losing most of his life. Philip had not considered this. Since Mr. Lindell had erased part of his memory according to his request, Philip would not treat
After sitting here for a while and not seeing any reaction from his master, the man in black even suspected that Philip had killed him. He would have done something drastic if Mr. Lindell had not been breathing evenly. Just when everyone was about to leave, Mr. Lindell suddenly opened his eyes. He had digested the knowledge that Philip had given him for now. Although not proficient yet, he understood some basic concepts. At this rate, he was no longer a novice in making pills. He knelt in front of Philip with sincerity and gratitude. “Teacher, thank you for imparting to me the knowledge of making pills. I’m very grateful for your help!” Mr. Lindell lowered his head to Philip again. He knew that Philip was no different than a god. This superficial knowledge alone was enough for him to digest for a while. As long as he mastered everything, he believed that he would surpass his previous achievements. He would have a chance to become a top alchemist if he learned so
People in second-tier cities were more arrogant and generally looked down on people in third-tier cities. That was the rule. Just like how the residents of Imperial City would despise everyone, the same held true between cities. The son of Cosmo City's mayor, Alton Kean, was seriously ill, but no one knew his condition. He had approached numerous doctors, including traveling physicians, but his son’s condition got no better, even getting worse instead. “What should I do?” he muttered under his breath, glancing at his son lying on the bed from time to time. His wife would occasionally wipe her tears quietly on the bedside. His wife was so worried about their son that her hair had turned gray. “I tried everything I could to contact Mr. Lindell just to hear that he’s going into seclusion. I don’t know how long that’s going to take!” Alton stammered anxiously. Although he was happy that Mr. Lindell wanted to improve himself, his son was in critical condition and needed urge
“Shall we take the young sir with us?” Oz asked curiously. Alton shook his head. “Forget it. It’s better that the two of us make the trip. He's in poor health. If he has to go through this, he may not last three months!” Alton perked up, packed some clothes, and set off with Oz. He left the affairs of the city in the good hands of his deputy mayor. His priority now was to cure his son, the source of all his heartache. The three-hour journey was not short. They used a lot of energy along the way to shorten the duration and quickly arrived at Orbit City. The horses were almost exhausted when they finally reached the city gates. Alton could not care less. After settling the horses, he entered the city and went to Bijou Parlor. At this moment, Scarlet was sitting in Bijou Parlor worriedly. After what happened yesterday, on top of the ruined auction, she also lost a large number of customers. Even Figo no longer patronized this place. Figo was completely smitten by N
“I know some information about Mr. Lindell, but I feel uneasy about giving it out so easily,” Scarlet pretended to hesitate. She was thinking of getting some money for that information. Scarlet was broke. In order to pay off her debt as soon as possible, she had to do everything she could to make money. The man in front of her looked like an aristocrat, so Scarlet was sure he had money. “You can have these energy stones.” Alton handed some energy stones to Scarlet impatiently. It was best if he could get the information with money. Scarlet smiled at the sight of the energy stones. “They went to Treasure House, which is the most prominent store in the city center. But that store is involved in some shady business, so I don't know if he fell victim to their scams!” Scarlet did not forget to badmouth her competitor. She knew that she could never outshine Treasure House, but she could badmouth them and leave a bad impression on the other party. After getting the direc
“Foxy was the one controlling the beast stampede earlier. The beasts would've razed this place to the ground if I hadn't stopped them in time.” Philip shook his head helplessly. The fence around Deadly Arena had been flattened during the stampede, enough to prove how terrible the earlier battle was. “But of course!” Foxy nodded smugly. The people here would probably be in bad shape if she had not stopped the attack in time. Philip smiled and shook his head. “This young lady is a force to be reckoned with. She simply had to blow a flute to control all the beasts.""I'm sure that all the guilds will try every means to capture Foxy if they find out about her ability,” Lyle said, envious of her ability. Aslan sighed awkwardly. As a monster beast, he had no ability in other areas at all. He could only use his brawn to intimidate others. As if he felt the difference in strength, Aslan lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say another word. Foxy chatted with everyone happil
Aslan was surprised to see Philip bringing a petite and beautiful woman back all of a sudden. “Hey, Philip, where did you pick up such a beautiful woman? I'm so envious.” “You sure have luck with women, Philip. You picked up such a beautiful woman just by going out. It’d be great if I have such luck too.” Aslan and Lyle started teasing Philip, annoying him so much that he almost knocked them out. “Cut the crap. Her name is Foxy, and she's our new teammate. Come with me, everyone. We need to find a safe place to discuss our next plans.” Philip quickly took everyone away. He looked very excited, obviously looking forward to his next plan. Everyone nodded excitedly at Philip’s appearance. They were also curious, wondering what Philip was going to do. Since the beasts had retreated, everyone returned to the lounge area for a break without further ado. Deadly Arena would also be closed for the day and reopen the next day. The inn Philip chose for them was quite luxurious, an
Since their master was dead, these subordinates had to approach the people of Deadly Arena for help. They would be bullied without a master to take charge. They finally found a chance to join a strong employer. Now that he was dead, everyone was at a loss for what to do. “What? He’s dead? This is too much. Find out who those people are. I don’t care which force they belong to or who they have behind them, we need to wipe them out!” This person was Amos, the second in command of Deadly Arena. He knew how to deal with such provocation. “These people are too bold to touch a member of my family. Everyone knows that our children are powerful and undefeatable on this battlefield.” The second in command was annoyed and not in the mood to deal with this incident. His anger over this matter added to his initial agitation. His subordinates were surprised to see his irritation. “What’s wrong, Amos? Why are you so upset? Are the beasts up to something again?” As the second-in-comma
On the battlefield, Aslan was puzzled by the beasts’ sudden retreat. “Maybe the beasts are scared shitless by our strong combat power and decided to give up.” “You got that right. I killed several of them at once and looked really cool.” “But I have a feeling that the beasts this year are much stronger and have greater potential.” Everyone spoke excitedly. The people who killed many beasts had returned for their rewards. They thought highly of the rewards and could not wait to take all the treasures of Deadly Arena.… “Can you control the beasts from a distance?” Philip asked curiously. Foxy nodded. “I can control these beasts no matter where I am. It’s my individual talent.” Since everything went as planned, Philip pondered what to do next. “You should come with me. I’ll tell you about my next plan in detail.” Philip decided to bring Foxy into Deadly Arena. Foxy nodded seriously. She trusted Philip very much and never doubted him at all. He felt a little embarra
This young lady was finally strong enough to protect the beasts. “The grudge between me and those people runs so deep that I’ll never forgive them, so you can forget about it. You look like a good person, so I won’t make things difficult for you. You should leave this dreadful place at once.” Philip smiled helplessly at her words. “Don't worry, I don't like the people from Deadly Arena either, and I have a grudge against them too. In fact, everything happened because of them, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you want to restore this mysterious island to a place where the beasts can live in peace, you should work with me.” These people were not easy to deal with. Although Philip could deal with them with his strength, he would have to pay a price for it. It would be best if he had help. Philip had many ideas. “I’m surprised that you have a grudge against them too. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let’s talk about this.” The woman smiled excitedly. “My name is Foxy. I
Seeing the woman’s horror, Philip scratched his head awkwardly. He did not expect that her reaction would be so intense. “Don't worry, I'm not a good person.” After saying that, Philip sat down nonchalantly as if he was not worried about this powerful woman. Seeing Philip’s disregard for her, the woman was so angry that she could barely speak.“As you can see, I’m one of those humans,” Philip introduced himself. Philip had nothing to hide. His identity was no secret. “So, you’re one of those disgusting humans. You look quite strong. Since you found me, I’ll accept my fate. Just kill me if you want. There’s no need to insult me any further.” This woman was quite interesting. She jerked her chin up as if she was ready to let Philip kill her. Philip sighed at her reaction. Why was someone so eager to die? “I don’t want to kill you. I’m just curious about you. I just arrived at Deadly Arena recently,” Philip said to the other party sincerely. He was very curious about the
“You’re right, someone is controlling these beasts behind the scenes. Although I don’t know if the culprit is a powerful beast or a guild, they're not to be trifled with.” Philip did not hide this information but asked his men to take action. Since they were already here, they had to ensure their safety. No one would be exempted if anything happened. “You can join in the fight, but don’t try too hard. Just kill a few beasts and wait until I get to the bottom of this,” Philip said to his people. He was afraid that his men would work too hard but end up with nothing. Everyone nodded solemnly at Philip’s instructions. They quickly joined the battlefield and casually swung their weapons around, killing the arrogant beasts. Due to their strength, they easily crushed the beasts without much effort. As the fight reached its peak, Philip observed the source of the beast stampede. “Do you see that? The beasts are coming from that direction, and they’re clearly well-organized and d
Philip noticed the change and frowned at the mysterious man, whose expression changed drastically. “This is bad. I’ve never heard this alarm before.” After saying this, he invited Philip to go with him to Deadly Arena to find out what happened. They arrived at Deadly Arena and saw everyone staring ahead nervously as if waiting for someone to speak. Philip’s guild members noticed his return and approached him nervously. Aslan ran up to Philip worriedly. “Philip, I asked around and found something wrong. Deadly Arena is a dangerous place because it’s situated next to the beast forest. This situation has happened from time to time in the past, but no one was bothered. They’d even organize teams to hunt the beasts and Deadly Arena would provide rewards for this.” Philip roughly understood the situation from Aslan’s explanation. Since Deadly Arena had been managing this place for so long, they had taken responsibility for the safety issue. Once the beasts appeared, they would ensu
Argent thought he had come up with a good plan to set Philip up, but he was the fool who was kept in the dark in the end. Philip smiled at Argent’s angry departure and invited the mysterious man to his room. Although Philip chatted with him earlier, he did not know much about him. Philip could tell that the man had concealed his true appearance. Philip was curious to see what would happen. The mysterious man noticed Philip’s anticipation but simply stared at him in silence. Philip wanted to know his identity and purpose for coming here. “I really think highly of you. It’d be best if you could join me.” He knew that Philip would not give in so easily, so his rationality told him to give up. “It’s impossible for me to join you, but I’m curious about your situation. I believe you have a grudge against that guy or you wouldn’t resent him so much.” Philip smiled at the guy. He knew that the grudge between the two was very deep. The mysterious man was surprised that Philip
