Philip was not interested in prying into their clan affairs. He simply exchanged some pleasantries before turning to the main topic without wasting more time. “I heard that elf water plays an important role in purifying someone’s body and changing one’s foundation. As you know, humans are not gods, so it’s difficult for us to live here. I want to see if the elf water can change our genes.” Akash seemed conflicted when he heard that they were indeed humans. He was skeptical about Philip's identity as a human being before this because he could not believe that humans could escape from that place. Hence, he was a little shocked by Philip’s admittance. “How did you humans escape from that place?” Akash was very curious to find out how they left safely. “We didn't escape from that prison. We came to this world through breaking the space barrier, so we’re fundamentally different from the humans you know.” Akash was dumbfounded to hear Philip’s background. The fact that they could
“These are ten drops of elf water, considered priceless. I’d never give this to another person so easily.” Akash was quite generous to Philip. He knew that Philip was a good person and worthy of a good relationship. “So, this is elf water.” Philip picked up the small bottle for a closer look and was pleasantly surprised. He could feel his body reacting to the elf water. His body needed a lot of elf water, definitely more than ten drops. “It’s quite valuable. May I ask if you plan to sell it? I can make a deal with you,” Philip said with a smile. Elf water was valuable but not rare. The elves owned an elf tree that produced the elf water. Akash smiled brightly at Philip’s reaction. “Since you want the deal, state your offer. I have high standards.” Akash was certain that Philip could not offer anything good, but Philip handed him some pills. Philip made the pills himself, so the quality could be guaranteed. “Give these pills a try. I believe they can be of great help to th
Akash knew how valuable Philip's pills were. It would be great if he could get more. In comparison, he felt that elf water paled in contrast. Elf water made no difference to gods like them. It could enhance their strength at most but not as much as imagined. There was a limit to how much each person could use, so they could not use it to enhance their strength forever. Other than those who needed purification, they did not need elf water at all. It would be best if they could trade it with Philip. “I can trade as much as you want. I’ll offer 100 drops of elf water for one of these pills. What do you think?” Philip was surprised by Akash’s forthright manner. “Although elf water is important, it doesn't play a big role for us, so it’s best if we can use it in exchange for something more useful.” Philip nodded at his explanation. Indeed, this deal was mutually beneficial. Akash was worried that Philip would not have many pills, but he was surprised to see Philip taking out h
“Are you talking about that tree monster? It’s female, of course. I had a hard time capturing it. You've taken the tree monster away, haven’t you? Why ask me this question? Just ask it if you want to find out. I believe it’ll answer you.” Black Rabbit grimaced in pain as Philip pulled his ears. He was puzzled and wondered why Philip suddenly asked him this question. Rabbit smiled and almost applauded. “So, do you want to consider my proposal? You have to believe that I’ll never hurt you. I can definitely negotiate this deal with her.” Philip nodded and took Rabbit into Verge Tower so that he could have a good chat with the tree monster. The tree monster and the water monster were enjoying various wonderful resources in Verge Tower. They were very excited about the rich energy and saw a lot of pills too. Philip’s students tossed their failed products in here, and Philip never bothered about them because he had no use for them anyway. The pills were usually used as nutrient
“I’m here for the tree monster. We're at the place where the elves live, and we found a huge male tree, a powerful one. Are you interested? Just look at how good our welfare is. Joining Philip can also solve your marriage issue. Do you think other people will care about a little tree monster like you?” The tree monster was clearly taken aback upon hearing this. “Are you talking about the divine elf tree? How did you manage to persuade him?” The tree monster was stunned. In its opinion, the elf tree was a sacred existence. Just like Prince Charming, who every woman dreamed of but could not get, the elf tree was a force to be reckoned with. Rabbit nodded. He had reached a consensus with that tree after a good chat. “You may choose not to trust me, but you can always trust our boss!” Rabbit patted his chest and mentioned Philip. He knew that these two would trust Philip no matter what. Sure enough, the tree monster became excited and quickly agreed with a bright smile.
“This is my soul branch. If you take it and plant it, I’ll grow up in no time. During this time, I’ll have to depend on your boss.” Rabbit nodded and left with the branch. The elf tree would not last long without its soul and would wither after three or five days at most. Philip had no idea what Rabbit had done. He was still negotiating with Akash, taking out various things to trade with the other party. Akash was quite eager about the things in Philip's hand. He simply could not control himself from spending money, wishing he could get everything from Philip’s hands. “How did you end up with so many treasures? Humans are an amazing race, indeed. Have you ever thought of rescuing the imprisoned people?” Akash asked curiously during the transaction. After all, it would make sense for Philip to rescue his own kind. Philip shook his head calmly. He was not that free. “They have nothing to do with me. Why should I save them? To satisfy my hero complex? I don’t need anyone t
“You’re welcome. In that case, I hope we can meet again.” Akash got many good things from Philip, including some precious tea leaves. The elves were not used to drinking tea, but they were full of praise after coming into contact with the tea leaves. “I look forward to doing business with you again. Remember to give us a discount if you have other good things next time!” Akash sent Philip and his people out with a bright smile on his face. He felt he had made a fortune this time. However, the volume of this transaction was quite big and almost exhausted all his reserves. Akash was full of excitement as he looked at his empty elf water reserves. The current situation was not a problem. They would get more very soon. Elves could live eternally. They could wait for centuries for the next batch of elf water. Thinking of this, Akash came to the elf tree and greeted him with a smile, “My lord, I hope you can put some effort into producing more elf water. We've received many ama
The elf tree stopped talking after that. He knew that the elves were not that powerful. They would definitely need help if they faced any problems. Philip was their best choice. If the elves ever sought help from Philip, the elf tree would put in some good words for them and at least try to persuade Philip to help them. Akash remembered the elf tree’s every word, and he was glad that he kept Philip's contact information. He trusted the elf tree very much. Since the tree told him to find Philip when he encountered trouble, it proved that Philip was a very trustworthy person. “I never thought that I’d have to work with humans in the end!” Akash said helplessly. He knew that all creatures in the world of the gods hated humans, but they were his last resort. “It’s okay. He’s no ordinary human. His ideas and ideals are better than most. Maybe he’d be willing to help me.”… Meanwhile, Philip sneezed on his way back. He felt that someone had ideas about him. “What’s going on? W
“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
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
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
Rabbit was sunbathing in the yard and had no idea what was going on. He had a feeling that someone was setting him up, but he was powerless to resist. “Rabbit.” Philip calmly summoned Rabbit with no indication of his thoughts. Rabbit approached hesitantly and stared at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “Since you know that the Hexa Guild has declared war on us, we can't just sit and wait for things to happen. We have to show them how powerful we are.” Rabbit quickly understood Philip’s meaning. He wanted Rabbit to fight. Rabbit sighed and agreed. After everything Philip had done for him, it was time for Rabbit to take the stage. Philip wanted Rabbit to deal with the other party and do it in a humiliating way to show them that they were beneath a rabbit. “Okay, I know what I should do. Just sit and watch.” Everyone in Petal City knew that Rabbit was Philip's pet, so his actions represented everything. All the guilds kept an eye on the situation as Rabbit w
Philip shrugged at Jamie’s words. “It's just a small matter. Whether you accept the challenge or not, it's not a big deal.” Every guild had to safeguard their dignity. They had to accept the challenge or they would be seen as cowards. Philip smiled. No matter what they decided, he had a bold idea. Jamie nodded thoughtfully at Philip’s words. After some deliberation, he said goodbye to Philip. He knew what he should do. Not long after Jamie left, the news that the Celestial Palace accepted the challenge spread. They adopted a tough stance, criticizing the actions of the Hexa Guild. All the major guilds knew what was going on, but they were surprised that the Celestial Palace was brave enough to make everything public, which was no different from exposing the other party’s crimes. The Hexa Guild finally revealed their true colors. The members were ashamed of being part of the Hexa Guild. The members of the Hexa Guild knew about Lincoln's stance and were worried, wondering
Alain would be doomed if Lincoln ignored him. “No way!” Alain panicked, horrified at this development. The whole guild might be at stake if Lincoln was unwilling to help him. “I've decided not to get involved in this case anymore. Deal with the mess you created yourself. Don’t expect my help.” Lincoln was very decisive about ignoring Alain. Hearing that, everyone was in despair. “Grandmaster, don’t do this to me!” Alain knew that he was doomed. He wanted to persuade Lincoln to help him, but it seemed hopeless. Lincoln waved his hand and turned away, unwilling to lay his eyes on Alain again. In his opinion, the biggest mistake was choosing such a person as the guild leader. It did not make sense for a guild to turn out this way. If Dennis had been in charge, everything would have been different. Left in the room, Hogster and Alain looked at each other, at a loss for what to do. They had thought that Lincoln would solve the problem for them, so they just did whatever th
Alain rushed over to Lincoln to boast about his plan. He knew that Lincoln would be proud of him after hearing it. However, Alain got a slap on his face before he could even speak. He stared at Lincoln blankly, wondering what just happened. “Why did you hit me?” Alain felt embarrassed and sorry for himself. After all, Hogster and many other guild members were around. At his age, it was unacceptable to be slapped in public for no reason. The onlookers backed away in fear, avoiding eye contact with Lincoln. The murderous gaze in Lincoln’s eyes was terrifying. “Why did I hit you? Don't you know why?” Lincoln trembled in anger at Alain’s reaction. This guy had no idea what he did wrong. “I saw Philip just now.” Lincoln stared at Alain, trying to read his thoughts. However, Alain was startled and confused. “In that case, you should've seen how scared he was. That’s what he gets for offending our guild!” Alain was excited and smug at the thought of Philip being scared out of hi
Although everyone was confused, they knew that despite his arrogance, Rabbit would not accuse someone for no reason. “I went out for a walk just now, and everyone is talking about the Hexa Guild declaring war on the Celestial Palace and Philip!” Hearing that, Lincoln nearly passed out. Since everyone was talking about it, it had to be true. He never dreamed that something like this would happen right after he left. “Old man, you need to tell us what’s going on. How dare you pretend to be a nice person in front of my boss? You must be tired of living!” Rabbit was very angry at this hypocrite and wanted to yell at him. Lincoln grimaced and shook his head. He had no idea what was going on either. “I'm really sorry. Let me get to the bottom of this. If everything is true, I owe you and the Celestial Palace an explanation!” After learning about the whole incident, Lincoln knew that the Hexa Guild was at fault for everything. He felt embarrassed by this. “Sure, I’ll wait for your
