Bane was excited to get hold of a pill. He thanked Philip and ate the pill. The next second, he felt good all over. “My word, this is simply awesome. I’ve never felt so comfortable in my life, not even when I was at my peak during my younger years!” Bane marveled. He drank a cup of tea and found that it seemed more effective. “This tea can purify your energy. Although your body has returned to its peak, your energy hasn’t. As you know, the stronger your practice level, the purer your energy is. This tea can rectify many problems,” Philip explained with a smile. Bane was excited to hear that. Although there were only two leaves in this cup of tea, he knew its value. “I’ll sell a limited quantity of tea every day, only 25 grams.” After speaking, Philip pointed to Lyle, who was packing the eye-catching tea leaves on the side. The tea leaves were individually packed in an exquisite box. “You simply need one tea leaf if you’re making it for yourself. Two tea leaves are ove
“Shopkeeper, you’re simply awesome to be able to fix everything with just one pill. Our ailments have been bugging us for a long time!” Monty was more familiar with Philip, so he walked in and thanked Philip. As soon as he walked into the store, he was almost immersed in a refreshing and comforting fragrance. “What’s that smell? It smells like tea. I feel as if my soul has been purified with just one whiff.” Hearing that, everyone walked into the store and made a pleasant discovery. They felt as if their energy had increased with just one whiff. Bane quickly concealed his cup. He felt embarrassed to let anyone see that he had such a good thing. However, they knew each other so well that they immediately caught Bane's movements. “Hehe, stop hiding it. If you have any treasures, take them out and share them with us.” Monty stepped forward and grabbed the cup from his hand. Bane said in embarrassment, “Hey, I was just drinking a cup of tea from this store. It’s pretty good.
After much deliberation, Bane finally decided to buy everything. After all, it was good for his health. At most, he could take it once a week. Everyone noticed Bane's actions. They rushed over and found that the tea leaves in Bane's cup were the same as the ones for sale. “I want to buy it!” “Say, Old Clarke, don’t think of taking everything for yourself!” “How could you keep this treasure to yourself, you selfish old man!” Everyone complained, and Bane finally divided the tea leaves according to the number of people. Everyone agreed on a time to buy the tea leaves again. “Your purchasing power is so strong that I've decided to sell it once a week. You can come again next week.” Philip smiled helplessly. He was flattered that they flocked to buy it despite the high price. Soon, the old men left the store excitedly with their purchases. Everyone was shocked by their appearance. The onlookers never thought that these well-respected old men would buy something from this st
Lyle was annoyed by their arrogance. There was no need to slander them if they could not afford it. Besides, those well-respected old men bought their pills and ate them in front of everyone. Were they poisoned? Lyle was annoyed by these people who spoke without thinking and said with disdain, “If you don’t know anything, stop shooting your mouths off or you’ll get it later.” Lyle shut the door in the faces of these ignorant people. At this time, they received the latest news. The guilds would be recruiting new members. The guilds would conduct a test every five years and recruit people with talents. Hence, this duration was very important. Many people would try their best to look for ways to practice. Some people were not very talented but could be admitted by exception if they were strong enough. Some people were mediocre and wanted to use their ability to join the guild and change their destiny. It was great news for all practitioners. Philip and the others felt very
It was more difficult for an ordinary family to get a practice technique, which was mostly passed down in families or guilds. Even millions of energy stones might not necessarily get them one. Only a very lucky ordinary family might get one by chance. No one here knew if they were talented, but everyone was confident and believed that the guild would recruit them. Other than major guilds, some smaller guilds were recruiting too. At worst, they could lower their expectations and choose an ordinary guild. Some people stood at Philip’s doorstep while waiting for the guilds to arrive and naturally saw the prices marked in Philip’s store. Although the store was not officially open for business yet, they could see the price tags through the crack in the door. “Look, this must be a shady store. The prices are so high. What pills would cost millions?!” “Yeah, and the tea leaves are sold by piece. Isn’t it ridiculous?” The people waiting in line had nothing better to do and started
“Look, those people don't even dare to defend themselves. They must be indirectly admitting that they're running an illegal business.” Everyone mocked endlessly while Lyle and the others sat watching in silence. They could tell the talents of these people at a glance. None of them were highly talented, so they could only end up as external members even if they were recruited by a guild. Most of them would probably fail the selection. After all, they had poor talents and a weak foundation, so they could not contribute much to the guild. Philip could already imagine the outcome of these arrogant people if they joined a guild. They would act humbly in front of other guild members but take a drastic change once they returned to the secular world. They were the type of people Philip hated most. Very soon, members of the major guilds arrived and set up their respective booths. People lined up at various booths to undergo the test. Many people were very confident in themselves.
“If my test result proves that I’m highly talented, don’t you have to compensate me with something?” Lyle wanted to bet with them. On second thought, however, these people had nothing to stake on. They were so poor that they could not afford anything. There was really no point in betting with them. After much deliberation, Lyle decided to give up. It was not necessary to dwell on it. “Hehe, I think you’re just scared. Who said we don’t have good things? We have our traveling funds and family heirlooms with us!” “I brought a lot of treasures from home. My family prepared these weapons and pills for me!” “We can bet our treasures against you. I refuse to believe that you’re better than us!” Everyone mocked Lyle and regarded him as a braggart. Lyle was indifferent to their reaction because they were not worth his attention. However, these people refused to give up and incited others who failed the test to harass the store. Lyle was in a difficult position. He wanted to sto
Lyle tested his talent and smiled smugly because he knew he would win the bet. The talent testing device was very advanced. It could test a practitioner’s talent by pouring some energy into it, while an ordinary person had to do it with a drop of blood. The best talent would be indicated by a golden light, which was the highest it could go. The first batch of troublemakers had very poor talents, and their results were almost embarrassing to look at. Some of them even displayed a black light, which was simply a disgrace. However, they were not ashamed of it. After all, they were ordinary people with little ability, so they were not disappointed. It was just a pity that they could never become a practitioner. It would be great if they could win something from Lyle, so they were happy at that thought. “Although we’re not talented, it’s not to the point of being embarrassing. I believe that we’re much better than you!” “That's right. My result was pink, which is pretty good. I
“I’m surprised that you’re such a devoted lover, but are you sure there’s nothing fishy about it? Humans usually look down on other races. Why would they propose a political marriage?” Lyle expressed his doubts over this matter. There had to be something strange about this. They might suffer a great blow if they rashly opposed the Swift family, but they couldn’t let the Swift family bully the woman of Loony’s dreams either. “I know it’s strange, but I’ve confirmed that the other party is indeed my lover.” They discussed at length but simply could not determine if this was a fraud.… On the other hand, members of the Swift family gathered happily as if there was something worth celebrating. “Are you sure we can trick Loony into coming over with this?” An ugly man looked at Drake with both curiosity and expectation. Drake nodded, excited at the thought that Loony would soon fall into the trap according to his plan. “You have to believe that he’s a man of loyalty and faith,
“Speaking of demons, I recall something. Before Rabbit's father died, he had a relic that he wanted to pass down to Rabbit. It was supposedly a valuable treasure that all demons would fight for.” Everyone was startled to hear that. “Something left by my father? Why have I never heard of it? Tell me the details!” Rabbit’s nonchalance was quickly replaced by anxiety. He had always attached great importance to news of his father. He had lost his memory, so he could not remember many things. He had no impression of his father either, which made him sad. “I don't know what your father left for you, but he was very adamant about giving it to you. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain at the time. Although it was said to be a treasure, I always thought it was just a gimmick.” Black Rabbit had always thought that Rabbit's father was an unreliable rabbit. He often used treasures to trick people into helping him. However, the treasures he gave were the real deal, so the rabbits
At Philip’s level, he could easily escape a carefully planned assassination like that. After the woman returned to the safe base in a hurry, a man appeared in front of her unhappily. “Did you fail your mission?” Although he looked unhappy, there was no anger in his voice. The assassin lowered her head and nodded nervously. She knew that death awaited her upon her failed mission. The other party sighed and said nothing. “This mission was issued by the Swift family. Although you failed your mission, they didn’t blame you, so you won’t suffer any repercussions.” The assassin was surprised to hear the man’s words. She escaped a disaster. “Really? That's great. My target this time is a strong, powerful person. We need to be fully prepared if we have to assassinate him again!” The assassin's name was Scorpio, a professional top-notch killer who rarely failed. However, she was defeated by Philip this time. Scorpio felt a lingering fear at the thought of Philip’s terrifying str
Moby was full of disdain for those people who kept bragging about their bloodline. Bloodline was important, but power was more important. It was sickening to see those people looking down on other races based on their bloodline when they were not strong enough to back it up. Everyone had always looked down on the fish creatures because of their bloodline. They had endured it for a long time. Philip’s arrival marked their time to rise. They had to show everyone that bloodline was not the most important factor in determining status. “However, the demons are not so easy to deal with. We have to be prepared for a drawn-out war. If I’m not mistaken, they’ll find ways to mess with us soon.” Philip was interested in the Swift family and wanted to find out more about them. “Normal people can’t get in touch with the Swift family. They've maintained the prosperity of the family despite being imprisoned for a long time, which proves their strong foundation." Loony was wary. He knew
Philip shook his head. It was too late to develop their force now. Half a month was not enough for them to reassemble their people. “We have the elves and fish creatures on our side, so we won’t face such a tough time, but the demons can employ some weird tricks,” Loony analyzed the situation like a lame strategist with a calm smile on his face. Seeing his dodgy appearance, Philip suddenly wondered if he was really as reliable as he imagined. The voodoo technique Loony learned was indeed powerful, and the demons were proficient in voodoo too, so Loony was the key to dealing with them. “Their dirty methods are endless. I can't wait to get my book back from them. I wonder what they've gleaned from it." Loony was very upset that his book had fallen into their hands. He felt that his book had been sullied by them. “I don’t think you can get the book back from them again. If I had mastered the book, I would've destroyed it to prevent anyone from using it again.” Lyle shook his hea
Although the demons active in the outside world were nothing worth mentioning and could be defeated easily, Drake knew that the true old elites were still hiding behind the scenes. No one would be afraid of the demons when the true gods were still around, but the true gods had been destroyed. Drake enjoyed the massage from his maids while he was lost in his memories. He recalled the battle ten thousand years ago. Ten thousand years ago, the true gods captured all the humans. Being new to this world, the humans did not know much about the true gods, so the latter took advantage of it. Due to the same reason, they fell miserably. Despite that, the humans also put up a tough fight and successfully sealed the true gods, resulting in a draw with both parties sealing each other. As all the powerful true gods had been sealed, some weaker parties created many so-called true gods to ease everyone’s worries. These true gods were meant to deceive the people, so Drake was not worried abo
The messenger said tentatively, “Philip is nothing but a small potato. Although he made the headlines now, he’s nothing much to shout about. We don't have to go to great lengths for him.” In fact, he looked down on Philip in his heart. After interacting with Philip face-to-face, he thought that Philip was only worthy of having a small force of his own. “You've wasted your years with me. Philip gives me a very special feeling. He’s different from other reckless young men. He’s a force to be reckoned with. At least, he’s my type. It has only been such a short time since he arrived in the world of the gods but he rose to the occasion so quickly. It’s inseparable from his personality and ability.” The messenger showed a sign of disapproval as if they should not think too highly of Philip. “We should take him down as soon as possible because of his ability to avoid any trouble. He may pose a certain threat to us if he’s allowed to develop further.” In his opinion, anyone who might
The messenger seemed surprised. Maybe he did not expect someone to refuse this treasure. “I won’t do anything for you if you don’t make things clear,” Philip said seriously, and everyone nodded. Everyone knew Philip’s character. Although everyone was tempted by the treasure offered by the other party, they knew better than to accept it. Seeing Philip’s tough attitude, the messenger shook his head helplessly and finally changed his tone. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll speak my mind. Philip Clarke, you can’t survive in this world without a backer. I believe someone of your level can understand what I mean.” Seeing the other party's sudden change in attitude, Philip sneered. He had finally exposed his true colors. Now, Philip wanted to find out their true purpose. “My master thinks highly of you. Although your individual strength is important, you’ll only end up dead or face endless troubles without a strong backer to support you.” The messenger turned and lef
Philip looked at the pill given by the other party. He was not interested in the pill but wanted to find out what the other party was up to. “My master told me to give you this pill. He knows that you’re injured. You can recover very well with this pill.” Everyone was angry upon hearing this. Since the other party knew that Philip was injured, they probably sent the killer. “You guys are shameless! You found a killer to attack Philip, and now, you want to use a pill to act as a good person. You're playing good cop, bad cop! People of the Swift family are always so disgusting. After being locked up for thousands of years, you still can't change your ways and still do such shameful things.” Loony’s obvious disdain eased everyone’s frustration, but they wanted to find out what was going on with this Swift family. “This is a misunderstanding. We have nothing to do with it. We just know who wants to deal with Philip, but we have no right to expose the other party at our level, so
