The First Heir Chapter 5274
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

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

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

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

“Buddy, you have a point. Someone like him who doesn’t respect others doesn’t deserve any respect in return either!” The two started chatting happily. Seeing this, Chaplin was furious. Others simply watched in silence. They knew Chaplin’s identity. Although they were angry at Chaplin's disregard, no one dared to say a word. Chaplin had been ignoring their presence, even verbally humiliating them. So what if he could not produce so many pills? They had no right to be so arrogant! Although they were angry, they could only choose to timidly avoid this powerful existence. Many people were unfazed and still hoped to become Chaplin’s servant. After all, working for a level-five alchemist was something to be proud of. Only Lyle and Custard were nonchalant. “Okay, let’s allow Philip to say a few words. What do you think of everyone's performance and these two arrogant newcomers?” Seeing that things were not optimistic, Alton tried to shift the attention to Philip. After a

Custard was unhappy to hear everyone speaking ill of his mentor. He stepped forward and said, “Stop making wild guesses. Philip is my mentor. There’s no point in saying anything else.” Everyone was stunned to hear that. With that confirmation, it meant that Philip was much better than that level-five alchemist. Chaplin scowled darkly, surprised to hear that Custard was Philip's apprentice. He was furious when he realized that Philip did not say a word when he invited Custard to become his apprentice. Philip did it on purpose to embarrass him. The more Chaplin thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could kill Philip. Lyle, on the other hand, had a different thought. In his opinion, Custard was very strong, and his ability had exceeded his expectations. At least, Lyle believed that he could not surpass Custard easily. After much deliberation, Chaplin decided to focus on Lyle. “Lyle, don't tell me you’re Philip's apprentice too,” Chaplin said to Lyle cau
The First Heir Chapter 5280
“Besides, a status as the first apprentice of a level-five alchemist is more than anyone can hope for.” Although Chaplin had accepted many students over the years, they were merely students in name. Only the best people could get the title of his apprentice. The position of first apprentice had always been vacant. After all, he wanted to reserve this position for the most talented genius. Sure enough, he met this genius today. “I see, that sounds really exciting!” Lyle said with a smile. Just when Chaplin thought Lyle was going to say yes, Lyle turned to Philip. “I want to become your apprentice. Will you accept me?” Lyle looked at Philip expectantly as if waiting for his decision.Philip, who was watching the excitement, was stunned. He did not expect the focus to be on him now. “What are you saying? Isn’t Chaplin going to accept you as his apprentice?” Philip was confused. This guy was causing him so much trouble when he had nothing to do with this. Philip could alre
The First Heir Chapter 5281
Lyle's talent could be considered weak among Custard's siblings. He would even be seen as a hindrance to them. Custard vaguely remembered that the brother with the poorest talent made 20 pills with one set of materials in one go, but he was ridiculed by the others for such a bad record. Therefore, Lyle was nothing worth mentioning, and Custard was not keen about having him join them at all. “But I don’t have any plans of accepting another apprentice. Even if I did, I don’t have time to teach him,” Philip said helplessly. Indeed, Philip was so busy at both ends that he had no time to teach a newcomer. Even the people under him could not spare the time. Lyle had learned alchemy and had his own method of making pills. Thus, Philip had to make him forget everything and instill new knowledge in him. The whole process was very lengthy, and Philip had no time to waste. “Name your conditions. I can do whatever you want,” Lyle said anxiously, afraid that Philip would not change his
