Philip smiled and said, “Noelle, I think you should go with them and meet up with the little guy. Let the mayor help you open a store in the business district and sell whatever the kid made.” At first, Philip wanted to bring Noelle with him, but he had another idea now. Since Bijou Parlor would come after him, Philip did not intend to let them off either. They could try to take him on. He refused to believe that Bijou Parlor would be stronger than him. The best pill they could produce was at level seven while the pills his students could make were much better than that. The alchemy theory and method used here were completely different from the ones Philip used, so their best pill meant nothing to him! Noelle was excited about this arrangement. It was no easy task to explore the island with Philip and the guys. Noelle preferred to mess around. “Don’t worry, leave this to me! I can handle it easily!” Noelle smiled brightly. She had already thought of how to confront the o
“That’s great. Since we’ll be a family from now on, you may dispense with the formalities. Just go with Noelle and listen to her arrangements. “Bijou Parlor will definitely come after us sooner or later, so you need to improve your strength. Take this and level up!” Now that they had joined him, Philip handed them several pills without further ado. “These pills will help you level up.” Philp handed Noelle some body reconstructing potions. “After you arrive in Cosmo City, let them use this. They can only put up a good fight after they level up.” Philip knew that he had to develop a certain force. Whether he had to struggle to survive on this continent or that conniving and intriguing continent, Philip had to find his own large-scale force and develop it to deal with turncoats. No one else knew what the potions were used for, but Noelle smiled brightly. Noelle had been tortured miserably by this potion. All of them had soaked in this potion and experienced the pain of despair
“Don’t worry, Philip. We’ll make sure to do this successfully!” Granite said with a smile. He wanted to become stronger too. Alton, Cosmo, and Oz looked at them enviously. They knew that these potions were hard to come by. Maybe they could never find the chance to get a potion like that in this lifetime. “We plan to set off early tomorrow morning. Will you join us?” Alton invited them. Everyone looked at Granite. Although Philip handed an important task to Noelle, Granite was responsible for most things. This team belonged to Granite, so Philip would not intervene. He simply asked Noelle to set up a store as quickly as possible. Granite saw everyone’s expectant looks and realized Philip’s intention. Philip did not see him as a subordinate at his disposal but as a comrade. Philip would seek his consent if there was a problem. It felt great to be respected. Philip was curious to see Granite’s decision. In his opinion, Granite would never choose to follow Alton. However, most
If this pill could be mass-produced, they could easily develop their own force. This opportunity was hard to come by. Thus, Alton kept a close eye on Rhea to confirm if the pill was the real deal. Before this, Alton would definitely think it was fake and gloss things over with Philip. After all, certain things had to be seen to be believed. Now that someone was testing the pill in front of him, he had to watch closely. Sure enough, Rhea quickly felt her body heating up before she leveled up. Rhea was quite talented to level up so quickly, but the others were not aware of this. Alton and his party were dumbfounded at this scene. How could such an amazing pill exist? The others took the pill without hesitation, smiling brightly as they reveled in the pills' effects. Seeing their rapid improvement in strength, Alton was excited. Alton wanted the pill too, but he knew Philip had no intention of giving it to him. They had no ties to each other, so there was no need for Philip to giv
According to their investigation, although the store sold similar pills, the effects were not as good as the ones they saw earlier. Reality proved that Philip had better versions on hand. These pills would cause a great sensation out on the market. Alton could already imagine what would happen if he took those pills. Seeing how easily Philip gave them the pills, there must be no side effects. If the pills had side effects, he would not have given the pills to them so easily. Alton had many ideas about the pills and wondered if he could get one. “Let’s talk to him. It’d be best if he could sell us those pills,” Cosmo said. Although Cosmo longed for a pill, he wanted to get it through the proper channels. After all, he had not been in contact with anyone for many years, so his thinking was quite immature. Alton and Oz were different. They were used to seeing schemes and conspiracies. To them, it was normal to resort to underhanded methods. “Maybe we can approach him for the pil
No practitioner could resist the temptation of those pills. Cosmo had been in a coma for a long time, so his desire for such things was not that extreme—unlike Alton. Alton and Oz were not as talented as Cosmo. It was difficult to improve their strength. They could benefit greatly from Philip’s pills. “I think we should just threaten Philip. He’s going to sell those pills anyway. Why not give everything to us?” Oz suggested. He was under the impression that Philip was nothing more than met the eye. Alton nodded. As the mayor of a city, he was still calm. “Let’s not act rashly for the time being. After Granite and the others arrive, we can find his student and threaten him.” Alton’s idea was better. Since Philip’s student was in Cosmo City, Philip would go there too. It would be perfect to use this student to threaten Philip! Alton smiled brightly, excited by the thought of forming his own force. The guards of the city belonged to the royal family. Alton had no force of his
Meanwhile, Philip had no idea someone was plotting against him. Since he dared to display his pills in front of everyone, he had nothing to fear. He simply wanted to boost Granite’s confidence. He knew that Granite and his team were willing to follow him because they believed in him. In that case, he had to let them know that their trust was correct. Philip planned to head to Cosmo City next. It was important for Alton to realize his strength too. If Alton was smart, he would not do anything in secret. If he was stupid, Philip had nothing to fear either. After all, he had many people under his command. Philip and the others packed their things, made plans for the next step, and were ready to set off early the next morning. Granite and his team did not make much use of Philip’s accommodation. They were just spending one night, and there was no need to take up so much space. The five of them squeezed on one bed comfortably. “Granite, is it really okay for us to level up so quic
Granite thought that his teammates were so innocent. “You silly goose! Do you think he won’t be tempted by the pills? Philip has no intention of giving them anything, so they can only watch helplessly! What if they use us to threaten Philip?” Granite was a very experienced hunter with a thorough understanding of human nature. He knew that nothing was scarier than human beings. Although Alton seemed like a kind father and a nice person, that did not mean he was good. Every man for himself. That proverb held true. In order to improve himself, Alton was likely to use them to threaten Philip. “We need to reach Cosmo City safely and improve our strength so that Philip can stop worrying about us!” Everyone nodded solemnly. This order was simple enough. “Don’t worry, we’ll do as we’re told and not cause trouble.” Everyone chatted until they fell asleep.… Early the next morning, Philip and Aslan embarked on their journey. The direction given to them was pretty clear. Phil
“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
