Philip did not take it to heart. “It’s okay. I don’t care about such things. I want to take a look at that place. “We sell valuable items in this store, so I don’t trust anyone else to take care of it. If that’s the case, it's better to close the shop for a few days before I return from that place,” Philip said easily with a smile on his face. Alton said worriedly, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. That place is notorious for being dangerous. Even the most powerful people found it difficult to escape from the sea safely. “You have to go through the sea area to reach the mysterious island, but no one has managed that feat so far. Even the well-known expert simply entered the island by chance without going through the sea.” Alton heard that the expert was lucky enough to arrive at the island. If Philip wanted to take on the challenge, the best outcome would be a safe retreat while the worst outcome would be to disappear at sea. He thought the second outcome was more likely t
“I have a student in Cosmo City. You can go with Alton and find my student there. Hand this item to him and join him. I'll head to Cosmo City when I return from that place.” Indeed, Orbit City was too small for Philip and his group. More importantly, most major forces here had been obliterated. Bijou Parlor was all quiet, and the mayor had developed his forces, weakening the power of the Larson family in secret. The mayor should be able to take over the whole city before long. In Philip’s opinion, it was just a matter of time. Philip looked forward to the mayor’s accomplishment. Since the mayor was eager to become stronger, he definitely had his abilities. Everyone's eyes lit up. Granite did not think that Philip would accept his allegiance. In his opinion, Philip was a mysterious person. It would be best if Philip was willing to accept him. Alton was the happiest, smiling brightly. He never expected that Philip would choose to go to Cosmo City. Although his city wa
Philip smiled and said, “Noelle, I think you should go with them and meet up with the little guy. Let the mayor help you open a store in the business district and sell whatever the kid made.” At first, Philip wanted to bring Noelle with him, but he had another idea now. Since Bijou Parlor would come after him, Philip did not intend to let them off either. They could try to take him on. He refused to believe that Bijou Parlor would be stronger than him. The best pill they could produce was at level seven while the pills his students could make were much better than that. The alchemy theory and method used here were completely different from the ones Philip used, so their best pill meant nothing to him! Noelle was excited about this arrangement. It was no easy task to explore the island with Philip and the guys. Noelle preferred to mess around. “Don’t worry, leave this to me! I can handle it easily!” Noelle smiled brightly. She had already thought of how to confront the o
“That’s great. Since we’ll be a family from now on, you may dispense with the formalities. Just go with Noelle and listen to her arrangements. “Bijou Parlor will definitely come after us sooner or later, so you need to improve your strength. Take this and level up!” Now that they had joined him, Philip handed them several pills without further ado. “These pills will help you level up.” Philp handed Noelle some body reconstructing potions. “After you arrive in Cosmo City, let them use this. They can only put up a good fight after they level up.” Philip knew that he had to develop a certain force. Whether he had to struggle to survive on this continent or that conniving and intriguing continent, Philip had to find his own large-scale force and develop it to deal with turncoats. No one else knew what the potions were used for, but Noelle smiled brightly. Noelle had been tortured miserably by this potion. All of them had soaked in this potion and experienced the pain of despair
“Don’t worry, Philip. We’ll make sure to do this successfully!” Granite said with a smile. He wanted to become stronger too. Alton, Cosmo, and Oz looked at them enviously. They knew that these potions were hard to come by. Maybe they could never find the chance to get a potion like that in this lifetime. “We plan to set off early tomorrow morning. Will you join us?” Alton invited them. Everyone looked at Granite. Although Philip handed an important task to Noelle, Granite was responsible for most things. This team belonged to Granite, so Philip would not intervene. He simply asked Noelle to set up a store as quickly as possible. Granite saw everyone’s expectant looks and realized Philip’s intention. Philip did not see him as a subordinate at his disposal but as a comrade. Philip would seek his consent if there was a problem. It felt great to be respected. Philip was curious to see Granite’s decision. In his opinion, Granite would never choose to follow Alton. However, most
If this pill could be mass-produced, they could easily develop their own force. This opportunity was hard to come by. Thus, Alton kept a close eye on Rhea to confirm if the pill was the real deal. Before this, Alton would definitely think it was fake and gloss things over with Philip. After all, certain things had to be seen to be believed. Now that someone was testing the pill in front of him, he had to watch closely. Sure enough, Rhea quickly felt her body heating up before she leveled up. Rhea was quite talented to level up so quickly, but the others were not aware of this. Alton and his party were dumbfounded at this scene. How could such an amazing pill exist? The others took the pill without hesitation, smiling brightly as they reveled in the pills' effects. Seeing their rapid improvement in strength, Alton was excited. Alton wanted the pill too, but he knew Philip had no intention of giving it to him. They had no ties to each other, so there was no need for Philip to giv
According to their investigation, although the store sold similar pills, the effects were not as good as the ones they saw earlier. Reality proved that Philip had better versions on hand. These pills would cause a great sensation out on the market. Alton could already imagine what would happen if he took those pills. Seeing how easily Philip gave them the pills, there must be no side effects. If the pills had side effects, he would not have given the pills to them so easily. Alton had many ideas about the pills and wondered if he could get one. “Let’s talk to him. It’d be best if he could sell us those pills,” Cosmo said. Although Cosmo longed for a pill, he wanted to get it through the proper channels. After all, he had not been in contact with anyone for many years, so his thinking was quite immature. Alton and Oz were different. They were used to seeing schemes and conspiracies. To them, it was normal to resort to underhanded methods. “Maybe we can approach him for the pil
No practitioner could resist the temptation of those pills. Cosmo had been in a coma for a long time, so his desire for such things was not that extreme—unlike Alton. Alton and Oz were not as talented as Cosmo. It was difficult to improve their strength. They could benefit greatly from Philip’s pills. “I think we should just threaten Philip. He’s going to sell those pills anyway. Why not give everything to us?” Oz suggested. He was under the impression that Philip was nothing more than met the eye. Alton nodded. As the mayor of a city, he was still calm. “Let’s not act rashly for the time being. After Granite and the others arrive, we can find his student and threaten him.” Alton’s idea was better. Since Philip’s student was in Cosmo City, Philip would go there too. It would be perfect to use this student to threaten Philip! Alton smiled brightly, excited by the thought of forming his own force. The guards of the city belonged to the royal family. Alton had no force of his
“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
