Everyone rushed toward Clementine in a hurry, but with the ropes pulling them, their movements were somewhat hindered. “How stupid! These life-saving tools will bring harm to you instead!” Philip waved his hand calmly in the water, and the ropes binding them broke. Instantly, they forgot all about Philip. They tried to swim upward in a panic, but there was no buoyancy in the water. They could not move an inch even if they tried their best. Everyone's level was not high, and they could only stay in the water for about half an hour at most. They would die if they could not find a way out of here within half an hour. They were already in the water, so their panic was not as violent, unlike those who drowned after falling into the water by accident. “You still have 20 minutes. You should figure out how to survive.” Philip calmly looked down at everyone. He knew that they had no way to resist at all. The man who instigated the others just now was the most panicked. He wa
Everyone followed the arrogant man’s example and begged Philip for mercy. However, Philip remained indifferent and instead paced back and forth around Clementine. He sensed the resources at the bottom of the pond to find something he wanted. To his disappointment, he found nothing useful despite his careful search. “What a barren land.” Philip sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to check on Clementine, her eyes lit up, and she looked very animated. Philip felt that she had become a very beautiful woman. Her eyes had also changed from brown to blue. Seeing this scene, Philip knew that she had successfully received the heritage. He was surprised to find that she had received the merfolk heritage. Everyone was excited at Clementine’s success. They cautiously approached Philip, begging him to spare their lives. “Hey man, we know we were wrong. Please spare our lives!” “If you spare us, we’ll follow you from now on!” “I have some rare treasures that I can trade f
Philip collected many things and was about to leave when the others started panicking. Those who wanted to freeload became anxious and begged Philip to spare them. Many people who tried to hide the best things for themselves were also abandoned by Philip. Although Philip wanted those things in exchange for their lives, it did not mean he was willing to settle for trash. Philip would not give them a chance if they could not provide anything of value. More importantly, everyone only had one chance. If they missed it, Philip would not give them a second chance. “You must live an honest life. If you want to survive, you have to give up something of equal value. Offering such worthless pills is just an insult to yourself.” Philip pointed to the useless pills in someone’s hand and sighed helplessly. These pills with low efficacy might be useful for ordinary practitioners like them, but they were no more than jelly beans to Philip. In fact, they were even less significant than
They were teammates, after all, and getting a heritage was the luckiest thing possible. After observing Clementine, Montel rushed forward and grabbed Philip. “Philip, you must get a heritage for me too. Look at how powerful she has become! It’d be a disgrace for you if I didn’t get one too!” In their earlier interaction, Montel knew that Aslan had received a heritage too. In that case, he was the only one among the three without a heritage! He had no right to follow Philip with his strength. Philip laughed at Montel. “Don’t worry, I won’t forget you when I find a suitable heritage next time. The underwater heritage was a beautiful mermaid. Do you want to become a mermaid?” Philip said smilingly. The underwater heritage was indeed not suitable for Montel. Montel excitedly stepped forward and hugged Philip. “I knew you were the best, Philip. Let’s go and find a heritage!” Montel could not wait to set off immediately, and Noelle seemed expectant too. However, Noelle
However, Philip was not someone who would take advantage of others. Of course, that rule only applied to those he had a good impression of. He did not state his request but patted Noelle on the shoulder. “In that case, you can owe me three requests. Don’t worry, they’ll be within your ability,” Philip said. He could not think of something on such short notice. The only thing he wanted now was to find the Clarke family and seek revenge. However, Rome was not built in one day, and Philip knew it. Besides, he needed Noelle’s intel too, so it made sense to ask Noelle to work for him. Noelle was a member of the Trove Guild. He had never thought of recruiting her. However, only someone of her status might be able to get more information about the Clarke family. Nevertheless, this was not a good place to talk. Philip planned to wait until they were out of the secret realm before asking Noelle about Kronos and the Clarke family. Noelle was pleasantly surprised to hear Philip’
Aslan had to stand on guard against Noelle in case she did anything to Philip. Noelle was surprised when she saw that Philip was about to make pills. She was even more horrified to see Philip using such a precious herb to make pills. “D-Do you know how to make pills? And with such a precious herb too? Aren't you afraid of wasting it?” Noelle felt her heart skipping a beat as Philip tossed the herb into the cauldron. Aslan became more wary at Noelle’s words, ready to get rid of this greedy woman. Noelle felt his caution and seemed embarrassed. This guy was too defensive against her. Philip’s movements became faster. He soon used up one herb. Philip carefully planted the remaining herbs in his space with Robust Soil. He believed that he would get a good harvest soon. Noelle was dumbfounded at Philip’s smooth and fluid movements. Although she was quite knowledgeable in her own right, she had never seen such a powerful pill-making technique. Most people would lock t
Aslan was excited beyond words. It was the first time Aslan had seen Philip making pills. He could tell that Philip was a professional by his speed and movements. “Philip, you’re amazing. Why are you such a professional at making pills?” Aslan was overjoyed to serve such a powerful alchemist. In that case, he would never have to worry about pills again. As a monster beast, Aslan had a longing for pills. It was perfect to be bound to an alchemist now! Philip shook his head at Aslan’s compliment. “I'm not a professional alchemist. It’s just something I picked up when I had nothing to do.” Philip was very humble and had no intention of claiming credit at all. Only Philip knew that he learned all these techniques from books. Philip would flip through these books during his spare time, and the contents would just rush into his head. With his talent, he mastered these things very quickly without any practice. Everyone thought Philip was simply bragging. How could
In the end, Aslan eagerly stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth. Powerful energy poured into his body, and he turned into his original form. Everyone was dumbfounded to see that Aslan was a lion. Although Montel thought that Aslan seemed a little strange and also wondered about his name, he did not expect that Aslan was not human. Aslan did not care that he was exposed. He was bathed in energy and felt good all over. The pills certainly lived up to his expectations. After all, they were top-quality pills made from the most precious herbs. They healed all his ruptured veins. Even his sturdy physical body became stronger. Half an hour later, Aslan's body flashed with golden light, and he transformed back into his human form. Noelle stared at Aslan with surprise and mixed emotions. Aslan was a lion! Noelle was well-informed and knew that Aslan was most likely the legendary monster beast. However, such demi-humans were always very proud, not to mention that the li
“Wow, I feel so good as if I just had a massage.” Jeff praised Philip in his mind. After taking the pill, he recovered instantly. Even the ailments he had been suffering from in the past were healed. He was in such good shape that he could face Hogster with no problem. He even felt that he could resist Hogster’s attack this time. Philip nodded. Jeff was quite good. He had thought that Jeff was already defeated and would not even be able to move. However, Jeff forced himself to take out a pill and swallowed it. “He’s quite good at persevering and has a bright future. You can consider grooming him,” Philip said to Jamie. Jamie was surprised to hear such a high assessment from Philip. Jamie attached great importance to Philip's suggestion. Since Philip said so, he would develop Jeff properly. “Aren’t you very full of yourself? Keep going.” Jeff rushed forward and started beating Hogster up. Hogster was already dying and could not put up a fight at all. “Stop!” Hogste
The Hexa Guild had lost the earlier match, so Hogster was upset about it. Their guild should be undefeatable. They should have made a name for themselves by now, but everything was ruined. Although Hogster did not know why the Celestial Palace was so powerful, he had a feeling that they were cheating. “I’m the pride of the Hexa Guild while you’re just an ordinary member. Don't even think about resisting me,” Hogster said calmly, clearly looking down on Jeff. Of course, Jeff was not to be outdone. “My favorite hobby is to beat someone while they're down. Your guild's reputation is so bad anyway. Why bother holding on to it?” His remark struck the Hexa Guild’s sore spot, and all the members scowled at him. Indeed, the Hexa Guild had a very bad reputation. They could only recruit ordinary people who could not join other guilds but yearned to practice. “Hehe, cut the crap. We’ll know the outcome after a fight!” After saying this, Hogster charged at Jeff with a weapon in han
It would do the Hexa Guild no good to keep Vanna alive, so they would not allow it to happen. Although the members of the Hexa Guild were angry, they quickly cheered up. There would be several matches with the Celestial Palace to go. They could not lose their fighting spirit because of this trivial matter. “Let’s see how powerful the Celestial Palace is. I refuse to believe that we’re no match for them.” Hogster decided to take the stage because the upcoming opponent was just an ordinary member of the Celestial Palace. They were not very strong. In his opinion, an ordinary member could not be very strong. It would be easy to win this match, and it would save him a lot of trouble too. It would be bad if he faced a dark horse like the previous match. The hooded man saw the performance of the Celestial Palace and was surprised by their extraordinary strength. However, he did not notice anything unusual. He simply thought that it was their usual strength. Since they were so str
“This is interesting.” The hooded man glanced at the people discussing this matter and felt expectant. He could not wait to meet Philip. On the other hand, Philip was watching the competition and had no idea what was going on. “Oh, I see, you’re the young lady of the Celestial Palace. I thought you were very powerful, but this is all there is to you.” Vanna’s opponent was an ugly woman who was very upset with her beautiful appearance. Vanna looked at her mockingly. “The outcome has yet to be determined. I don’t think you’re any better either.” After saying this, Vanna looked at the other party, waiting for her to make the first move. The ugly woman was furious at Vanna’s provocation. “Very well. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let me show you what I’m capable of!” After saying this, she attacked Vanna as if she were ready to get rid of her. She had received an order from the guild leader to deal with Vanna properly. The Hexa Guild had initially planned to qu
The Hexa Guild also claimed that they would kill anyone from the Celestial Palace. Although upset, no one dared to say anything in the face of the other party’s strength. It would be embarrassing if they could not live up to their claims if they retorted now. Moreover, the battle was a matter of life and death. Everyone was risking their lives. The Celestial Palace had the confidence to face the Hexa Guild now. They believed that they could turn the situation around with their strength or at least show them what they could do. There would be a battle between the two parties in the afternoon, which was the best time to show off their strength. The young lady of the Celestial Palace would be the one contending. After improving her strength, Vanna was full of confidence and vowed to give her opponent a fatal blow or at least let them know how powerful she was. Ronan was nervous. He was not worried about his wife but worried that the Hexa Guild would take things too far. Those
It could be considered returning the favor. Jamie shook his head helplessly. He knew Philip’s kind intentions, but this matter was not so simple. “I know that your wine can improve someone’s strength, but it’s no help to us right now!” The overall strength of the Hexa Guild had increased so much that it went beyond anyone’s comprehension. Carlos turned up at this time. He wanted to talk to Philip about this matter, but Jamie beat him to it. “My friends just told me that the Hexa Guild is hellbent on dealing with everyone, not only us. Anyone up against them will be killed. They must be insane to face any guilds without fear!” Philip was intrigued. They could not be so confident for no reason. They must have encountered an opportunity. “Maybe they encountered an opportunity. I can't be sure about this, but I can at least provide you something to ensure that nothing happens to your people.” After saying this, Philip handed Jamie some pills. Philip was very confident about
It was very suspicious that a bunch of losers became so strong all of a sudden. “Philip, don’t you think something is wrong? I have a feeling that the Hexa Guild did something,” Jamie asked bluntly with mixed feelings about it. There was clearly something wrong with the Hexa Guild. Philip nodded. He had been watching the competition carefully. He could see that these people’s strength had just been improved, and their foundation was not very stable. “Don't think too much. There is a problem with them, and it’s not small either. From the looks of it, they must've taken something that can quickly improve their strength. However, their skills and combat experience can't keep up, so they can only barely manage it.” Philip shook his head helplessly. At this rate, even the members of the Celestial Palace would suffer. Moreover, the Hexa Guild held a big grudge against the Celestial Palace. Once they met, it would definitely be a life-and-death battle. “What should we do? All th
“You should prepare for the competition.” Philip turned and left after saying that. Everyone felt angry at his domineering appearance. Some people had ideas about Philip. “Which guild does Philip belong to?” a man with a sinister face asked angrily. He wanted to know which guild Philip belonged to so that he could go all out to target Philip's guild. Others shook their heads. No one knew much about Philip. At this time, a spy from the Hexa Guild stepped forward. He looked at the man flatteringly and provided all the information he knew. “Philip doesn't belong to any guild, but he’s an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace!” The fact that Philip became an honorary elder of the Celestial Palace had not been made public. Only people keeping a close eye on the Celestial Palace knew about it. The Hexa Guild had always wanted to deal with the Celestial Palace, so they had been keeping a close eye on the latter. They knew all the minor details. The man scowled as if he did
“I can explore the secret realm on your behalf, but why do you think she’d appear there?” Although Philip could not figure it out, maybe the old monk had his reason for saying that. “I’ll explore the secret realm after the guild competition is over. If I can find the woman you’re looking for, I’ll think of a way.” In fact, Philip would rather take the old monk with him. He did not know what the woman looked like, so it was better for the old monk to do it himself. “Sure!” The old monk smiled brightly, surprised that Philip would agree so decisively. The secret realm was full of dangers. He knew that he should not let others take risks for him, but Philip did not ask any questions and even agreed to his request without any hesitation. “I’ll think about it and see if I can find a way to bring you in,” Philip said off-handedly. He still preferred to bring the old monk with him. The old monk was dumbfounded and thought he had heard it wrongly. “What?” The old monk gaped at
