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
Maurice merely glanced at Elmer indifferently without a word. Elmer obviously did not know the effects of this pill as well but laughed at him all the same. Maurice would see who was the fool in the end. Elmer scowled at the other party’s disregard. Maurice carefully cut the pill in half, and the scent hit them. Everyone felt a pleasant sensation wash over them. It was as if their old injuries had healed. “What pill is that?” “It’s simply a miracle for a pill to display such effects!” “Can you show us the pill?” Everyone was interested and wanted to take a good look at this pill. The effects might be better if they could get a closer whiff. Maurice smugly waved the pill in the air before putting it into his pocket. He would not share such a precious pill so easily. The pill looked ordinary before it was cut open, but he could analyze the pill's efficacy through its medicinal aroma after he did. As Philip mentioned, the pill could heal someone’s injuries. J
Maurice’s objective was to sow discord between Elmer and Philip so that Philip would join him instead. With that in mind, he took action without further ado. Sure enough, his remark did have some effect. As the head of the Harrod family, Elmer was an arrogant person by birth. He always felt that talents like Philip should belong to the Harrod family. Besides, Denzel was the one who found Philip first, so Philip should rightfully belong to the Harrod family. “Hehe, you’re smart enough not to compete with the Harrod family, and our status can't be underestimated either. Although the Pill Guild is not bad, we’re not afraid of you!” Elmer said triumphantly, completely unaware that he had fallen for Maurice’s trick. The other members of the Harrod family watched helplessly. As rational bystanders, they knew that they should not act tough. Philip was a talented and prideful man at first glance. He would be annoyed if the Harrod family behaved so arrogantly. Even a dumb pers
Philip was surprised at Denzel’s plight too. Although he always thought that Denzel was not very smart, his words were sincere and reasonable. However, not only was Elmer oblivious, but he also attacked his loyal aid. Philip suddenly felt that the standards of Elmer and Maurice were not worth his time. After Elmer dealt with Denzel, he looked at Philip smugly. “I’m not asking for your consent but informing you that you’ll join the Harrod family from now on. We’ll give you the best practice resources and medicinal materials so that you can make pills for us with peace of mind. “If you have a family, you can bring them over. We’re quite flexible about this,” Elmer said with a smile as if he was bestowing a great honor upon Philip. Fennel’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. He never dreamed that this guy could be such an idiot. How did such an idiot lead his family to this current state? Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Maurice smiled brightly. He knew that this matt
Elmer still felt resentful over Philip's refusal to join him, but he knew that his future was over if he offended Philip today. Philip could make all sorts of pills. If Philip came up with something good but Elmer lost the right to buy it, he would be doomed. Philip's words enlightened Elmer. Although Elmer was a reckless man who did not use his brains, he was quite good at sizing up the situation sometimes. Maurice was hoping to see a conflict between Elmer and Philip, but in the next second, Elmer treated Philip with respect instead. Maurice was puzzled and felt it was unfair. Instead of attacking Philip, Elmer treated Philip like he was a distinguished guest. Even as a leader of a guild with an honorable status, Elmer had never treated him that way. How could Elmer do that to Philip? Was this how a family head should behave? Maurice was very unhappy to see that Elmer had returned to his senses. He scowled as he tried to plan his next move. He was not sincere ab
As Maurice fled with his tail tucked between his legs, Elmer smiled triumphantly. Although he was not the cause of it, Elmer did not lose either. “This is the Harrod family's communication token!” Elmer also handed over his family's green token, which Philip accepted. He hoped that more people would do business with him so that not only could he make more money but control various forces as well. “I think you’re a good person. In that case, I’ll hand an important task to you,” Philip said with a smile. He could not create a name for himself on his own. Since the Harrod family wanted to please him, he could make good use of them. “I want to hold a pill auction and appraisal in two days, and I want to leave everything to you. I want everyone in the reclusive world to know about my pills.” Philip gazed at Elmer searingly. He knew that this was not difficult for Elmer. Elmer raised his eyebrows at Philip's words, surprised to learn his wild ambitions. He actually wanted
The Pill Guild knew all about Philip’s pills, so they would never miss such a good opportunity. Hence, they shared the same idea. They wanted to sign up at the last minute so that there would be fewer competitors. Very soon, it was the final hour to purchase tickets. Only a few small families bought tickets. Although some large families had a good relationship with the Harrod family, no one took action. These families sent scouts to the Harrod family to understand the situation, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent. They were told to attend the auction. Who would accept this response? The Harrod family had never held an auction before. How would they know what to do? Due to everyone's distrust, the Harrod family sold very few tickets so far. At the last moment, the Pill Guild signed up. They arranged for some members to purchase the tickets secretly, but the news still leaked. Of course, it was all thanks to the Harrod family. The Harro
