The First Heir Chapter 5270
With a bright smile on his face, the guard respectfully handed something to Philip. “Mr. Clarke, our mayor wants to invite you to be a judge for the pill-making contest. May I know if you're free?” The guard handed a fancy invitation card to Philip. Philip did not refuse. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the alchemists in this world. “Tell your mayor that I agree. I’ll be there on time,” Philip said casually and sent the guard away. The guard nodded solemnly and sneaked a peek inside the store. After confirming that there was nothing for sale, he left in disappointment. The guard wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could buy something, but the shelves were empty. Cosmo City was quite well known. When the pill-making contest was announced, the news spread like wildfire. Almost all the surrounding cities knew about it, and their young and promising alchemists could not wait to go to Cosmo City with their luggage. The sunflower seed was very ent

Everyone gathered in the square, and outsiders stayed comfortably in nearby inns. Alton grinned brightly at the tax records during this time. Outsiders had to spend money on food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. This event greatly boosted the economy of Cosmo City. Besides that, it gave the Cod family some breathing room while they were on the brink of collapse. While the Cod family took a breather, Alton raked in a fortune. As a judge, Philip visited the venue on the eve of the contest. Just as he got familiar with the venue and was ready to leave, he heard someone grumbling next to him. “Why are these people so excited over this contest? They even forced me to come here so many days in advance!” Philip glanced over curiously upon hearing this childish voice. He saw a very young kid. The kid acted quite maturely, with his hands behind his back as he complained, “It’s just a small contest, nothing worth worrying about. Winning first place is a walk in the p
The First Heir Chapter 5272
Philip could not deny that the kid was capable. After examining the pill in his hand, Philip thought the kid was pretty good. Although inferior to his students, he should be one of the best on this continent. Philip had never heard of this kid, but he forgot about the matter when he went home. The next day, all the contestants gathered at the square. The square was very crowded, and everyone looked forward to the start of the contest. As for the contestants, they looked at the ordinary practitioners in disdain.Practitioners were divided into different categories. Ordinary practitioners were only good at fighting, the lowest level of practitioners. Practitioners with skills, like them, were different. Alchemists and weaponsmiths had a distinguished status, enjoying preferential treatment no matter where they went. More importantly, they earned a lot of money and were quite powerful. Other than a possible slight disadvantage at combat, other aspects could be made up with pills

The practitioners seemed very curious about these stories. They listened with great interest and exclaimed in surprise from time to time. Custard and the other kid were disdainful and seemed impatient. After some time, Alton finally stopped. Philip was almost dozing off. Alton’s speech was better than a hypnotic spell, putting Philip to sleep easily. “Okay, the level-five alchemist that everyone has been waiting for has arrived. I hope everyone can do their best and see if you can catch the eye of this alchemist! Maybe you guys will have a chance to become his apprentice!” Alton's words caused a stir, and everyone whispered in excitement. Everyone wanted the chance to become an alchemist’s apprentice. They listened so seriously just now because they wanted to leave a good impression on the other party. However, Chaplin didn't pay attention to the crowd because he was focused on Philip. Chaplin had never seen such an arrogant man in his life. Philip was the first person wh

Philip was very modest and did not brag about himself. After all, empty talk was quite unnecessary. Lyle was quite excited to hear Philip’s introduction. He actually felt that Philip was quite to his liking. “Oh, I see.” Chaplin looked down on Philip even more because he did not even dare to say anything about himself. Alton chuckled inwardly. This progress was within his expectations. Alton was aware of Chaplin’s character and knew that Philip would never compromise with him. The interaction between these two people would definitely result in sparks, and Alton could take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits from it. “Well, I think we can put this aside. Let’s start the contest!” At Alton’s command, the contestants went on stage.Alton had prepared all the pill furnaces and herbs for the contest. “Each person will receive two sets of materials. Failure will result in disqualification.” Alton announced the rules of the contest, which were clearly quite la
The First Heir Chapter 5275
Custard could easily make more than 50 pills from one set of materials, which was simply unheard of, so he chose to keep ten pills and hid the rest. He quickly finished using up two sets of materials, leaving 15 pills. Although Custard kept a low profile, he still attracted Chaplin’s attention. He thought that this boy's movements were smooth and fluid, very proper indeed. Chaplin even gained some enlightenment as he watched Custard’s pill-making process. However, the enlightenment was not very profound, so he looked forward to interacting with Custard in private. Time quickly came to an end, and many people were forced to withdraw from the contest. They stood next to their furnaces with remorse and anger. Two sets of materials were simply insufficient. Their failure rate was usually quite high, so this requirement was too steep for them. Pill-making was an expensive business, so ordinary families could hardly support the growth of an alchemist. “Okay, let the remaining
The First Heir Chapter 5276
Chaplin paused the progress of the contest and beckoned to Lyle excitedly. Lyle was surprised by this development. He merely made ten pills. “What are you doing? It's scary.” Chaplin's attitude was quite bizarre, and Lyle frowned in dissatisfaction. However, Chaplin was unfazed and accepted Lyle’s admonishment. He had to take this practitioner with great talent under his wing. Most practitioners who wanted to join him were not very talented, so Chaplin never took them seriously. Now that a great talent had finally appeared in front of him, Chaplin’s attitude was completely different. Chaplin spoke to Lyle cautiously, trying to trick Lyle into joining him. However, Lyle never played by the rules. Meanwhile, Philip simply watched without a word. He knew that Lyle would never give in to Chaplin. Sure enough, Lyle sighed impatiently upon hearing Chaplin’s suggestion. “Are you sick? This contest has not reached its end, but you interrupted it so abruptly. Do you even respect
The First Heir Chapter 5277
Custard’s initial plan was to put one more pill than Lyle, but he placed more by mistake, so he was sure to win this round. After all, he was the last contestant, so no one else could surpass him. Chaplin stared at Custard in disbelief and anticipation. He hardly saw any pill-making geniuses, but he bumped into three today. The girl was pretty good but lacking in comparison to the two boys. Custard, the last contestant, was simply incredible. “Custard Clarke?” Chaplin read the name aloud and wondered why he had such a strange name. “Sorry, there was a mistake. It's Gustard Clarke." Custard chose his name because of Philip, so he did not want others to call him by this name. Chaplin nodded at the sight of the more normal name. “This name is very unusual and seems quite domineering, very suitable for pill-making. Why don't you join me as my apprentice? I can take your pill-making achievements to the next level.” Philip laughed at Chaplin’s bragging and thought something was
