Aslan felt a sense of crisis, but he had stopped growing at his age. He could only hope that the boy would not surpass him. As a monster beast, he was full of fighting spirit. Philip ignored their weird thoughts and took everyone to the Guzo Continent. They instantly felt the abundant energy upon entering this land, but Noelle and the others thought it was not as comfortable as the villa. The energy at the villa was more intense. More importantly, the energy had been purified and was of the highest quality. With every breath, they could absorb the energy without processing it further. Unlike the energy here, they had to convert the energy before absorbing it. Hence, they preferred the energy at the villa. Philip went home for a while, so it was already early the next morning when they returned. Philip led them out one after another. He had bought some local clothes for the kids to avoid any misunderstanding. After all, the kids had a separate mission. He did not wan
“Not bad. They almost replicated the design perfectly. I had doubts about the expertise of these people before this!” Aslan praised, amazed at Tory’s reliability. More importantly, they saw a huge backyard with several rooms, obviously accommodation quarters for them. At this moment, Philip bumped into Tory who was here to supervise the work. The workers told him that the renovation had been completed, so he rushed over. Seeing that it would be dawn in two or three hours, Tory felt extremely nervous. This was a major action of great importance. He could not allow any mishap to occur. Tory and Philip smiled at each other with a hint of appreciation. Philip liked efficient people. “I designed the backyard area for you in particular. I heard that you’ve been staying at that inn on the outskirts of the city. That place is very messy, and the location is quite inconvenient. "If you go there in the strange attire everyone has been talking about, you’ll be identified easily,
Tory marveled at this scene. Noelle and Aslan were probably stronger than Shadow, but Tory did not notice any energy fluctuation from them at all. Either the technique they practiced was very powerful or they had a unique method to conceal their strength. Either possibility would be highly sought after on this continent, not to mention the other distant continent. He had no intention of exposing them but merely took note of it. All the more Tory felt that Philip was a very powerful person. With this secret technique, even a weak person could conceal their strength from powerful people. When something was unknown, the other party would become doubtful. People would guess whether this person was weak or strong. In a nutshell, it depended on whether this person could fool others. Aslan and Noelle were so powerful, but they still took orders from Philip, which proved that Philip was definitely extraordinary. Tory said to Philip, “If you start your business tomorrow, I
Everyone was tempted to stop and look at the window in front. “Why is it called Treasure House? Is it a copy of Bijou Parlor?” “I don’t think so. Maybe they just sell the same things.” “Hehe, how could anyone else sell those things? You should know how difficult it is to find those pills and weapons in this world!” No one believed in the authenticity of Treasure House, so they placed bets and decided to enter the store to take a look. As soon as they entered Treasure House, they saw various pills and weapons. However, unlike Bijou Parlor where herbal fragrance filled the store, the smell here was almost non-existent. “I don’t think this place can make it. There are no beautiful attendants at the door, and there's no pill aroma!” A man with a potbelly waved his fan unhappily, already looking down on this place. As a man who appreciated beauty, he valued beautiful attendants. A feast for the eyes was enough to satisfy him. “I've had enough of the shrew at home, so I w
No one dared to compete with Bijou Parlor. This force that had operated for many years all across major cities was not to be trifled with. Rover arrived at Treasure House and glared at the onlookers in disdain. “Why are you so excited over a newly opened store?” A man next to Rover heard his question. He glanced at him and did not recognize Rover. Since they did not know each other, he could speak his mind. “What do you know? The person in charge of Treasure House is very beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful woman in Orbit City!” Rover felt disdainful of the man’s ignorant remarks. In Rover's opinion, Scarlet was the most beautiful woman in the whole continent. Seeing the fanatic looks of these people, Rover decided to squeeze in and take a look. He pushed through the crowd and entered Treasure House. Noelle did not expect that she would cause such a big sensation. More importantly, these people were not interested in the products sold at Treasure House at
Although the pills on display did not exude any aroma, the customers trusted Noelle for some reason. They felt that Noelle only sold the best pills. “How much would this pill cost at Bijou Parlor?” Noelle asked everyone curiously. They quickly replied, “An average pill would cost 300 energy stones. Better ones will be even more expensive!” “Besides, I think the pills they have that cost hundreds of energy stones can’t hold a candle to the one you have!” “Is the pill you have in your hand worth at least a thousand energy stones? No, probably more than that. I think you can put it up for auction!” Noelle nodded upon hearing the comments. It seemed that these defective pills were very valuable! Philip listened calmly on the side. He knew that his pills would be highly sought after but not to this extent. Were the pills sold here really that bad? Philip shook his head and vanished from the spot. As Philip suspected, Orbit City was relatively remote, making it diffic
Rover had achieved his goal. He just had to wait until midnight to meet Philip. No customers visited Bijou Parlor because they were about to go broke. Usually, many people would hang out in Bijou Parlor even if they did not buy anything. It was not only to look at beautiful women but also to increase their knowledge and catch a whiff of pill aroma. However, no one entered the store today. Everyone thought it was a little weird. Scarlet stood at the door, looking out anxiously. Scarlet would normally never stay at the main hall, but the situation today was so unusual that Scarlet was forced to remain at the main hall to solicit customers. Scarlet was puzzled to see everyone hurrying in one direction. She grabbed a passerby and asked curiously, “Where are you going? Is there a great bargain happening over there?” Scarlet's attitude was very bad, making it clear that she was unhappy. The man she stopped was one of her regular customers, but he was hurrying somewhere
The pills sold by Bijou Parlor were usually worth 300 or 400 energy stones. Even a wealthy customer like Figo Larson would only buy a pill worth about 300 energy stones. How could those misers spend so much money to buy an ordinary pill? Scarlet could not figure it out. “Stop bragging. As far as I know, only Bijou Parlor in Imperial City can come up with this! A newly opened store in Orbit City can’t have this!” Scarlet refused to believe Rover and reached out for the pill. She did not believe that someone would spend their life savings to buy a pill. They were not the young sirs of the Larson family. How could they have so much money? Of course, price gouging was not an uncommon practice in this world. Some people would buy pills at a low price and sell them somewhere else to earn the difference. Some people were unable to buy pills while others were able to buy them but were unable to use them due to financial circumstances. As a result, many proxy-buying indust
“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
