First Elder Oscar wanted to speak up on Rick’s behalf at first, but he felt embarrassed after seeing the jelly bean presented. He wished he could stuff his head into the ground if there was a hole right now. Rick saw everyone's reactions and read their thoughts. “Don't get me wrong. This pill is perfectly made!” At first, Rick also thought it was a jelly bean with nothing special about it. However, he witnessed how Philip had quickly recovered from his injuries and restored his energy after taking the pill. It was enough to prove that this pill was genuine. With only one pill in hand, he could not prove it to them. The only choice was for the leader to study it. Seeing Rick’s excitement, Oscar hesitated. He felt that he could trust Rick. “Leader, why don’t we study the pill?” Oscar suggested nervously. Although he also thought it was a jelly bean, he chose to believe his student in the end. Rick looked at Oscar gratefully and smiled brightly. “Thank you, tea
Rick nodded with certainty, and the leader scowled. He did not expect to hear Denzel Harrod's name. Denzel was nothing special, but the Harrod family was difficult to mess with. It was not that easy to steal someone from the Harrod family. “Also, the monster beast son-in-law of the Harrod family is back. I almost got killed by him just now!” Rick felt a lingering fear. He did his fair share in mocking Paco. If he had been more conspicuous, he would have met the same fate as the old man. The leader's expression became more serious. After much deliberation, he decided to talk to the Harrod family in person. “I’ll arrange a time to meet with the Harrod family. I hope there’s nothing wrong with your information.” The leader sighed and decided to talk to them in person. Now that the Harrod family had taken the lead in acquiring the pill maker, the Pill Guild had lost the head start. In that case, the leader could only take a step back and find a way to talk to them.
Paco did not have a good impression of the Harrod family. They only saw him as a burden and a disgrace. They never said anything good about him. As the supreme king of the eagle monster beasts, how could he tolerate stupid humans humiliating him like this? If his son were not in the Harrod family, he would have already regarded them as his enemies. “You stay here for now. I'll meet them.” Denzel opened the door solemnly and hurried to the living room. The leader of the Pill Guild had the same status as their family head, so he was sure that the head of the Harrod family would not dare to neglect him. Sure enough, when the leader arrived at the living room, he found that many people were already there. The leader of the Pill Guild and the head of the Harrod family sat drinking tea without speaking. Denzel felt nervous at this scene. Denzel was considered an ordinary family member, so his appearance did not cause any commotion. The leader and family head smiled afte
If they had a conflict, Maurice still stood a chance. If he offered some reasonable terms, he could definitely win over this person. Anyone could be bought over. He just needed to offer the right terms. Maurice smiled brightly at this thought. Elmer was a smart person and immediately knew Maurice was up to no good. If Denzel really found a talent, he would not give up so easily. Elmer smiled awkwardly and said, “Who knows if that’s the truth? Maybe they're making up stories. If there's such a person, why would he join the Harrod family?” Elmer had a point. Although the Harrod family was quite powerful, alchemists would generally not choose to join them. They could develop better in a guild while joining a family would only mean servitude. Hence, alchemists would usually choose to join the Pill Guild. “Nothing is set in stone,” Maurice said with a smile, not backing down. If the Harrod family still wanted to do business with the Pill Guild, they had to compromise.
As the saying went, the grass was always greener on the other side. It was normal for the reclusive world to go to the secular world to seek better development. “We have no control over this, and no one can stop the practitioner world from making a choice,” Fennel said helplessly. He knew that this was a difficult matter to deal with. Once the reclusive world merged with the secular world, all the commoners would suffer. Even the officials would not be able to do anything. There were too many powerful people in the reclusive world with no one to govern them at all. Without the existence of a leader, they would do whatever they wanted. As the two discussed this serious topic, Denzel and Paco found them. Philip did not deliberately hide his tracks, so it was easy to find him. Denzel stood in front of Philip, panting. He was so worried that Philip had escaped and he would be doomed. Philip and Fennel looked at Denzel’s miserable state in puzzlement. Why did this guy
“Since you've mentioned it, I should grant your wish.” Philip chuckled as if this was Fennel’s idea. Fennel was unfazed. This should be the way between them. Philip and Fennel were quickly brought into the hall, where everyone looked at the door expectantly. They were very interested in the alchemist Maurice mentioned. When did such a talented alchemist appear in the reclusive practice world? Everyone was puzzled. By right, the appearance of such a powerful alchemist would definitely cause a big commotion, so this silence was a bit strange. Philip appeared amidst everyone’s anticipation. They were confused at the sight of Philip and Fennel. Did Denzel not go out to fetch the other party? Why did he bring two young men back? Could they be the alchemist’s assistants here to make the welcome arrangements? “Denzel, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring the alchemist’s assistants back with you instead? I told you to invite the alchemist!” Elmer said unhappily. H
As soon as his pills were released, everyone would flock to them. Philip was confident enough to tell everyone his name. As long as he could control the lifeline of the entire practitioner world, he would have the final say. By then, he could also intervene in their actions. This was Philip’s sudden inspiration, which he had not discussed with Fennel yet. Philip winked at Fennel and greeted the head of the Harrod family. “Hello, Patriarch Harrod. I do know how to make pills, and I gave one to Denzel earlier.” Philip was very calm and did not brag about himself. Elmer did not react much, but Maurice was very excited. Maurice ran up to Philip excitedly and held his hands tightly. “Young man, would you be interested in joining the Pill Guild? I’m the leader of the Pill Guild. You can call me Maurice. If you join us, we’ll give you the best and most suitable resources!” Maurice started recruiting Philip. He could tell that Philip was not a liar, Philip had to be the a
Everyone was confused by Elmer’s reasoning. Who cared about Philip’s ambitions and aspirations? They just wanted to know if Philip was really that good. Whether or not Philip was a powerful alchemist, he would not belong to them in the end. He would only end up locked in a cage provided by the Harrod family, where he would enjoy the rest of his life. Maurice was very confident that Philip would choose to join the Pill Guild. “Sorry, I won't join anyone,” Philip said with a smile. Hearing this, the Harrod family and the Pill Guild were shocked. No one expected Philip to say that. Denzel scowled, angry that Philip went back on his words. Paco saw this scene in the tree he was hiding and felt very happy. It was good to see the Harrod family taking a fall! Elmer glanced at Denzel unhappily, disappointed that he did not handle this well. “Denzel, what’s going on?” Elmer asked fiercely, wishing he could kill Denzel. Denzel was frightened by Elmer’s anger and quickly
