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
Alton was startled by Noelle’s caution. He did not expect Noelle to be so sensitive. However, it was good that the person in charge of such a magnificent store was so vigilant. Alton knew that his sudden visit was very abrupt, so he quickly introduced himself, “I’m from the neighboring city, but I’m afraid that I can't reveal my identity. I’m here to visit Mr. Lindell. I wonder if you can introduce us?” Alton’s identity was quite special, so he could not state it openly. Many people wanted to kill him. Everything would be over if he was exposed. Noelle looked at him with a smile. Judging from his air of superiority, he had to be a high-ranking official. Noelle’s analysis was right, but she did not comment. “I’m really sorry, but you’re a step too late. Mr. Lindell just announced his seclusion. He didn’t mention how long he’ll be away, so I can't help you.” Although the man’s attitude was quite good, Noelle was unable to help him. Interrupting a practitioner’s secl
“Do you have a solution?” Alton was almost grasping at straws right now. He only wished he could spend all his wealth to save his son. Cosmo was the only descendant he had. If anything happened to him, all that fortune would be for nothing. If possible, Alton would gladly exchange all his wealth for the opportunity to treat his son. Noelle casually handed a pill to Alton. “500 energy stones.” She extended a hand to Alton. This pill was sure to cure any sickness easily, unless the other party was cursed. Noelle thought this pill should be the most suitable for Cosmo. This pill was highly sought after. Alton asked in puzzlement, “Do you want to sell me this pill?” Alton thought about it and finally understood her meaning. Noelle nodded, saying evenly, “This pill can cure many diseases. You can give it a try.” She was not about to display its effects. If Alton doubted her, then he did not have to buy it. The people who bought pills from Treasure House had to tr
“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
