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

Chaplin could not care less about manners and etiquette now. He even forgot about his reputation as a level-five alchemist. “Are you trying to go against me on purpose? You've stolen everyone I want! Do you really think I’m a pushover?” Chaplin’s accusations frightened all the onlookers. The alchemists who were not selected looked at Philip and Chaplin expectantly. They hoped that Philip could help them become powerful alchemists too. “What a nutcase,” Philip muttered under his breath before turning to Alton. “The contest is over. Can we award the prize now?” The winner was obviously Custard. Alton nodded earnestly. He did not expect things to progress so smoothly. Chaplin really did get into a conflict with Philip. Initially, he was worried that Philip would try to please Chaplin, but Philip’s personality was as direct and unpleasant as ever. “Sure, I’ll present the award right now. The seed will belong to Custard.” Alton reluctantly handed a beautiful box to Cus

If they persevered, Philip would consider taking them as his apprentices. If they failed, the potion would more or less benefit their physical bodies, which was a reward for choosing Philip. As soon as Philip arrived, the two kids reached Treasure House too. They stood panting at the door, looking at Philip expectantly. Lyle was also looking at Philip smugly. “Well? Don't you think I'm very fast? Anyway, I didn't expect you to be a judge. I mistook you for a contestant yesterday!” Lyle said casually. He did not expect Philip to be qualified to be a judge at such a young age. Philip smiled without comment. “Do you want to take the test? Stand here properly!” Custard took a ball from the side. The item looked like a beautiful crystal ball. “This thing can test your talent.” Custard put his hand on the ball to show them. Very soon, Custard's elemental root was displayed. Custard had three elemental roots, which was considered very good. Although Custard could devel

Philip signaled to Aslan and allowed him to explain. “Kids, listen to me. From a normal person’s perspective, a person with a single elemental root will practice at a faster speed, which is considered better, but because you have multiple elemental roots, it’ll take more time for you to develop. “For example, if you have one elemental root, it may take you ten years to reach a certain level while someone with multiple elemental roots will need 30 or 40 years! “So, without enough time and resources to support a talent, having multiple elemental roots is no different from a burden.” Hearing this, the kids realized something. They were excited to hear that they had multiple elemental roots. Lyle smiled brightly. He knew that Philip would not be stingy with resources. “Who are you and where are you from? I want you to tell me the truth. I’ll only accept people with clean backgrounds,” Philip said nonchalantly. He felt that Lyle would not have a special identity, but the gir

Although Poppy respected her teacher very much, she was smart enough to realize that Philip was better. Therefore, Poppy wanted to take advantage of her teacher's absence to join Philip and learn from him. “Is your teacher Mr. Lindell by any chance?” Philip asked curiously. Poppy was shocked. “How do you know that? Yes, you’re right. I don’t know why he went missing.” Poppy was in low spirits. She was still learning, but her teacher disappeared for no reason, and no one knew where he went. Philip laughed at this coincidence. Since Mr. Lindell had acknowledged Philip as his teacher, Poppy could only become his grand-apprentice. “In that case, I'm sorry, but I can't accept you as my apprentice.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Poppy panicked upon hearing that. “Why? I’m telling the truth. I sincerely want to learn from you!” Poppy said anxiously. She did not expect that Philip would refuse to accept her after she told the truth. “The reason is very simple. Your

Lyle simply wanted to live. “What? My teacher has become your apprentice?” Poppy exclaimed, shocked by this coincidence. “Don’t doubt it. I’ll drag him out and show you later. He should be done with his seclusion by now.” Mr. Lindell had been in seclusion for a while, so Philip believed he had thoroughly comprehended the knowledge he had learned. Poppy nodded. She longed to see her teacher again. Although Poppy came from a wealthy family, she had always been studying with her teacher over the years, so their relationship was better than her relationship with anyone else. Poppy had been very sad over her teacher’s mysterious disappearance. Needless to say, Poppy was very happy to hear news of her teacher. “In that case, I should be your grand-apprentice. Greetings, Grandmaster!” Poppy bowed to Philip without hesitation. Philip smiled at her proactiveness. “Poppy, I’ll let your teacher decide your practice arrangements. You may find a room to stay in. He’ll speak to y

Philip took out some herbs, turned them into powder with one shake and tossed them into the furnace. His movements were smooth and natural as if he had done this a million times before. Lyle wanted to applaud. He was completely immersed in Philip’s captivating performance and wished Philip could guide him to experience this pill-making process once. Lyle almost imagined himself being in Philip’s shoes. He was sure he could make a name for himself if he learned such an amazing pill-making technique. “Remember, as an alchemist, you must possess your own flame before you can reach the top or you can only remain as a mediocre alchemist,” Philip reminded Lyle. He was afraid that Lyle would only focus on making pills at home instead of going out for training. He could only have better control over everything when he possessed his own flame. Lyle nodded and took note of Philip’s reminder. He dared not leave his house in the past because he was afraid of attracting trouble in public.

When Philip made pills, he would fully integrate the medicinal power into each pill so that every pill contained full effects. Just that skill alone was worth learning. Custard used the same method as Philip, so every pill he made was highly effective as well. However, Lyle was different. To ensure the quantity of pills during the contest, Lyle did not control the quality, so the potency of each pill was not very good. He could hardly control this situation, so Lyle ignored it and simply thought everyone was in the same boat. However, he realized now that others could do it better! “Your pill-making methods are about the same, forgoing quality to get more quantity, but my method is different. I ensure both quality and quantity, and that’s the difference between us,” Philip said smugly, feeling proud of himself. Lyle felt that his perspective of life had been destroyed. The things he studied in the past had become useless junk. “I really wonder if my pill-making method is
