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.
The First Heir Chapter 5288
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

“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
The First Heir Chapter 6305
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
The First Heir Chapter 6303
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
The First Heir Chapter 6301
“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
The First Heir Chapter 6299
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
The First Heir Chapter 6298
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
