Fennel had absorbed all the ingredients in the potion, leaving the water in the bathtub clear. After Fennel got dressed, Philip calmly opened the door. He tossed aside the things given by the waiter. The quality of the clothes was not very good, so he had no intention of wearing them. The wound treatment cream was of no use either. “How are you? Do you feel better?” Philip said with a smile, confident in his potion. Fennel nodded. Since this was his first time taking a bath, he clearly felt the changes in his body. “It’d be great if I could do this all the time!” he said from the bottom of his heart. Fennel sensed the improvement. If he could groom some talents with this potion in batches, he would own a large force in no time. A practitioner who could withstand attacks with their physical body was simply unheard of. “Not only has your body gotten stronger, but your energy has also been purified. Your internal organs, muscles, and veins have been fortified,” Philip
Philip was telling Fennel about his pills while stuffing bags of them into his arms. Since Philip made the pills, Fennel simply took them without further hesitation. Fennel was even thinking of locking Philip up just to make pills for him. “The Pill Guild of the reclusive world is worlds apart from the one in the secular world. The healing pills and energy replenishment pills they make are pretty good, but they can't hold one-tenth of a candle to yours!” Fennel was lucky enough to get some of their pills, but they were not very effective and were very expensive. However, the pills were very popular in the practitioner world. Someone was always willing to buy them no matter the price. Even Fennel had bought a lot. After all, injuries would occur anytime, and those pills could at least relieve the pain even if there was not much effect. Sometimes, one could defeat one’s enemy with just this slight advantage. Lacking this slight difference could make one regret for the r
Denzel subconsciously grabbed the thing from the air and saw a pill. “Where did I put that pill just now? I remember…” Philip's voice rang out, and Denzel vanished from the spot. He knew that Philip was looking for this pill. Although Denzel had no idea how the pill landed in his hands, he knew that they were talking about pills earlier. Philip had given Denzel a healing pill, but it was a defective product he made. No one would eat it even if he left it in his space, so he might as well give it away. Denzel was very excited about getting this pill and immediately left the motel. Paco chased after him in confusion, wondering what he was doing. When Denzel reached a safe place, he looked at the pill but found nothing special about it. He could not even tell what pill it was through its scent. Denzel cut the pill into two halves, and a strong herbal smell wafted from them. He finally knew the function of the pill. Before he could do anything, a strong gust of wind
Paco was puzzled and approached Denzel in his human form. “Why have your wounds disappeared? What treasure do you have? Can it resist injuries for you?” Paco asked curiously. Denzel was still throwing up blood earlier, but he had returned to normal. Paco was puzzled and chose to ask Denzel directly. Denzel looked smug and knew that he had Paco in the palm of his hand this time. It was very difficult for monster beasts to get pills, so Paco had to be very interested in the source of this pill. “I just took a pill that can heal my injuries immediately after taking it.” Paco forgot about everything, including the death of his son. “What pill is that? Show it to me!” As a monster beast, he was a battle maniac, so getting injured was commonplace. They often had to fight for territory. Paco always got injured and had to recuperate for a long time after each fight. He could fight until the end if he had pills like that in hand! All territory would be his, and he would be
Denzel felt a little awkward too. He just wanted to give it a try to see if the pill worked. Unexpectedly, the pill was so effective beyond his imagination. He had not wanted to share this information with Paco and just wanted to keep this secret to himself. However, Paco was already in the know, so Denzel had no choice. “You get in touch with him. If he’s willing to produce this pill for me, I can forgive him for killing my son,” Paco said with an air of superiority. No matter what, he was the strongest among monster beasts. He was the overlord whether in the human world or the monster beast world. Hence, he had his pride toward Philip. Even if Philip was good at making pills, it was not enough for Paco to humble himself. Denzel scowled. Paco actually wanted him to beg Philip! That was impossible! He did not want to give up his dignity, but he was scared of Paco’s anger. “Forget it, I should just do my part!” In the end, Denzel decided to obey. After all, t
Denzel seemed embarrassed and laughed as if he wanted to gloss things over. Philip noticed the eagle on Denzel’s shoulder. According to Aslan, monster beasts were usually at odds with humans. Even if they could produce offspring, it did not mean they would live in harmony. Someone like Aslan was quite the odd one out, so Philip did not think it was an ordinary eagle. Based on the eagle's body shape and condition, Philip could tell at a glance that it was a monster beast. In that case, it must be up to no good with Denzel. Philip became serious. He signaled to Fennel, and they stared at the visitors silently. Denzel did not expect the atmosphere to become so solemn. “Well, Philip, I believe you should know who I am,” Denzel said with a smile. Philip stared at Denzel indifferently. He could not forget what had happened at the diner. Philip had given Denzel a defective pill as a test. Philip had poisoned the pill. If Denzel really ate the pill, he would be poisoned b
Philip liked to use the leftovers for a foot bath or to fertilize his plants. He put them to good use. Philip modestly claimed that he could only make one pill every morning. Compared to his normal speed, he thought that this result was slow enough. Besides, he did not want to cause a big commotion either. After all, he was just an ordinary practitioner. He did not want anyone to come after him. “Don't worry, we’ll be happy as long as you can give us one pill a day,” Denzel said with satisfaction. He did not expect things to go so smoothly. He thought this pill was very rare, so it was amazing that Philip could produce one pill a day. Philip would tremble in anger if he knew how much they looked down on him. Making one pill a day was extremely embarrassing. Philip could easily make a pill in a matter of minutes. It was far beyond anything anyone could achieve. “If you give me 30 pills every month, I’ll turn a blind eye to your whereabouts,” Denzel said solemnly.
Although Paco was very strong, he was a monster beast, after all. It was in the nature of a monster beast to be afraid of something. Some monster beasts were afraid of water while some were afraid of fire. Denzel had never known what Paco was afraid of, so he never found a way to subdue him. When Paco saw Philip and Fennel, he started fidgeting, which meant he disliked something about them. Denzel thought of a plan to deal with Paco without any effort on his part and sneered. Everyone was puzzled by his sneer but said nothing. “I can agree to your conditions, but you must give me full access to the arena. I want to challenge all the strong contestants there. Give me access for ten days and I’ll agree to your request after that.” Philip stared fixedly at Denzel. He knew Denzel could make the decision on this. Terence’s death meant nothing, and the Harrod family would not pursue this matter either. Denzel only had to agree to this request to achieve a good working rel
“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
