If Novak was a decent person, he would not go upstairs without the owner’s permission, especially when he was not allowed. Novak agreed cheerfully and acted as if he had lost his way. After saying goodbye to Preston, he entered the washroom. He had to play the part and continue with his act, but he kept replaying Preston’s words in his mind. Why did he tell him not to go upstairs? If it was just an ordinary storeroom, why was no one allowed in there? Novak was curious about Philip and wanted to know how Philip obtained the stone. …While Philip had time, he accompanied Mila to read and write and taught her some new pill and weapon-making skills. Wynn watched them with a smile on her face. She had been longing to see this. Wynn heard the conversation just now and knew they would be facing a war of the century before long. This war was related to the safety of the whole ancestral land! If they lost, the whole ancestral land would be in danger. Wynn was worried and scar
After running around for a while, Elijah failed to convince anyone. Even if they knew a crisis was imminent, they wanted the biggest profit for their force. Elijah almost went crazy when he realized their thoughts. He had not encountered this situation when he did this with his teacher a century ago! Back then, everyone was very protective of their homeland and immediately stood united against extraterrestrial invaders. On the contrary, people nowadays were very self-centered, with no comparison at all. In desperation, Elijah had no choice but to return to the villa. Since Philip was also at the villa, he deactivated the formation. He did not have time to make extra tokens for everyone. Martha had been hiding in her room, trying to avoid Philip. She knew it would be over once Philip found out about it. Fortunately, Philip seemed very busy and had no time to pay attention to her at all. While everyone was about to have dinner, Elijah dragged himself home tiredly. Philip qu
Philip could set a rule that anyone who wanted to purchase his pills had to take part in the war. In this way, all the forces, large or small, would be forced to take part. Philip's words aroused Elijah's curiosity. He looked at Philip in puzzlement but hesitated to ask. In the end, he simply nodded and started eating. Since Philip was so confident that he could handle everything, Elijah would forget his worries for now and wait for tomorrow.… The next day arrived. Elijah got up early and sat on the couch waiting for Philip. He was surprised to find many kids doing morning exercises. He thought it was a routine morning exercise like the ones in school, but he later discovered that the kids were absorbing the energy in the surroundings. It was simply amazing. Some of the stronger kids had reached the seventh zone while the weaker ones were at the peak of the sixth zone. After the morning exercise of absorbing energy, they took out their alchemy furnaces and medicinal materia
The pills made by the kids were perfectly round, simply surreal. There had to be an expert alchemist in the villa or they could never have groomed such outstanding students. More importantly, each student had a storage ring! Elijah’s eyes almost popped out from this shocking scene. A storage ring was a rare item. Even Elijah only owned a storage bag. He could not figure out how the gap between practitioners could be so huge. Mistral Temple could be considered a relatively wealthy force, but they could hardly flaunt their wealth like this. Thus, Elijah started to wonder about Philip’s background. Philip smiled at Elijah’s nervous reaction. “Just call me Philip!” Philip did not put on airs. He did not think these things were worth mentioning. He simply wanted Elijah to know what he was capable of. Elijah was surprised by Philip's humble attitude but simply nodded. “I can hardly wait to visit the guilds now. What are you going to give me?” Elijah glanced at Philip doubtf
Philip made a cup for Elijah and invited him to drink. Elijah put the box away respectfully and took a sip of tea. His eyes widened. Even as a centenarian, he had never seen such a top-quality spiritual tea! Elijah's eyes flickered in astonishment. Philip was simply amazing to come up with this tea. “They should know what to do,” Philip said. These people would realize many things after seeing the pill. Philip could not force them to take part in the war, but he felt they would make the right choice if they were smart. If they refused to join in, they would have to fight alone when the extraterrestrial creatures invaded. It would be a nightmare if they could not receive any reinforcements in that situation. On the other hand, they could gain friendly troops and such an amazing pill by taking part in the war. Normal people should know what to do. After taking several sips of the delicious spiritual tea, Elijah lost no time and went out with his clergy members again. The
The leader of the Avine Guild could have considered reaching an agreement with Elijah but decided to give up when he saw no benefit in doing so. Others would laugh at him if they found out he had reached an agreement with Elijah for nothing. He smiled as he looked at the box handed over by Elijah. The exquisite box was extraordinary at a glance. As he reached out for the box, Elijah shrank back. “Please don’t touch it. Let me show you.” Elijah opened the box and presented the pill in front of the other party. The leader of the Avine Guild glanced at the box nonchalantly, but his attention was quickly attracted. It was that pill! Although he had no idea what pill it was, he could easily tell from the round shape and lack of aroma that it was a pill made by Philip. Any pill made by Philip was enough to prove its value. “What’s this pill?” the leader asked, immediately toning down his attitude. Elijah was surprised by his change of attitude and became more confident. “Th
Elijah thought what he had seen and heard yesterday was nothing but a dream. The other party was very arrogant and even kicked him out of the guild yesterday, but his attitude took a complete turn today. “Here, let me make you a pot of tea and have a nice chat.” The guild leader waved his hand as a signal for the attendant to pour tea. Elijah shook his head and said, “That’s okay. I can't give you this pill yet. That person will hand it to you personally when you join the war.” Elijah stood up and was about to leave. Ever since he tasted Philip’s tea, nothing else could whet his appetite. Elijah only wanted another sip of Philip's spiritual tea. That tea was definitely of great benefit to him. After just a few sips, he could feel the clarity of his mind and improvement in his practice. Any other tea he drank now would only be tasteless and wasteful. Besides, he had other things to do and had no time to waste here. “I need to contact the other guilds and won’t take any m
After sensing the power of this weapon, Novak wanted to throw away all his existing weapons. Only this weapon was worthy of being called a weapon! The things they had been using were no more dangerous than a broomstick compared to this! Novak’s mind raced. He wanted to steal these things. This place was a storeroom filled with various weapons. No one would notice if he stole a few. He stuffed the weapon into his pocket. He simply wanted to steal one at first, but when Novak was about to leave, he was surprised to find various pieces of armor on the side. “Gosh, I have to have one of these. My safety will be guaranteed with such good protective armor! These shoes are not bad either. They can increase my speed after putting them on.” Novak exclaimed as he walked and could not conceal it anymore. He could hide some small weapons in his pocket, but there was no room for large items such as armor and shoes. He pondered and decided to take the things back to his room. When he o
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
“The truth is that I have a favor to ask of you, but I’m afraid of overstepping the line, so…” The old monk knew that his action was inappropriate, so he was conflicted and wondered how he should ask for Philip’s help. Philip was interested upon hearing that the old monk needed a favor. He wanted to know what stumped him. With his strength and status, the old monk should be omnipotent. “Feel free to speak your mind. If I can handle it, I don’t mind lending a helping hand.” Philip would not help for no reason. If the other party was willing to pay the price, he would not refuse. The old monk was excited to hear Philip’s agreement. “I have the location of a secret realm. I tried to enter it once, but the secret realm told me that I couldn’t enter it,” the old monk said with regret. “There should be a lot of good things in this secret realm, so I’m very disappointed that I can't enter and explore it. I was told that only people from other worlds could enter this secret realm.
“Since that’s your request, I’ll oblige.” Philip flew up the stage and quickly landed next to the old monk. Everyone was jealous to see Philip forging a connection with the old monk. Many people at the scene recognized Philip and knew who he was. “Look, isn't that Philip? I can’t believe that the old monk is so interested in Philip. It seems that we can’t take Philip lightly.” “I always thought Philip was a loser, but maybe I’m mistaken.” “He’s on very good terms with the Celestial Palace. Why would you think he was a loser?” Everyone discussed this topic with great interest. Carlos was quite close to Philip, so he felt proud to hear those comments. He knew that everyone was just jealous of Philip. The old monk stretched out his hand and invited Philip to go to his room. Philip nodded at his indication. “You look like a newcomer. Sure enough, the younger generation is taking over the world. For someone at your age to reach this level, you’re certainly a force to be
No one had ever seen the old monk, so they did not know what he was like. Philip and his party soon arrived at Zenith, which looked very grand just like a palace. The large arena in the middle was crowded with people. Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to pay homage to this legendary old monk. Some people had seen the old monk and heard his lecture in the past. They felt that they had benefited from it, so they arrived early this time to grab a good spot. Others had never seen the old monk, but they knew they would benefit from his lecture about practice. Philip and Carlos squeezed into the middle of the crowd and found seats. Philip was very curious about the old monk and could not wait to see him. Soon, the old monk appeared in front of everyone. He looked very impressive. Seeing his attire, Philip felt that this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. His clothes were very expensive, not something anyone could afford. It was not only in reference to the pr
Rabbit was attacked by the spell before he could react. He stood on the spot blankly, wondering what was going on. Rabbit tried to move when he felt that something was wrong with him. He seemed to have lost control of his body and could not move. “You have no say in this matter. Since you left with me, it means that you've agreed to follow me.” The hooded man was calm. He did not think that Rabbit could escape his clutches easily. After all, the piece of yellow paper was not an ordinary item. He had gone to great lengths to get it. He could control the rabbit’s mind and body fearlessly with that piece of yellow paper. Over time, the rabbit would eventually become his puppet. The hooded man was very excited to think that he would have a powerful helper. Rabbit lost his senses and had no idea what happened. Subconsciously, Rabbit wanted to resist, but he could not for some reason. He could only stand and wait for orders. “Hey, bring me a glass of water,” the hooded man said
“I sense a familiar vibe from you. Where are you from?” Rabbit asked curiously. He had a feeling that this man did not belong to this world. He felt familiar. The man stared at Rabbit while thinking about how to take it away. “I have many secrets. Do you want to know more? Come with me, then. I can give you a good life and help you quickly level up. You can become the best rabbit in existence and stand at the top of this world!” Rabbit hopped over and nodded excitedly. He knew that this person was mysterious and weird, so he wanted to find out more. The hooded man was shocked that this rabbit was dumb enough to leave with him. However, he did not reveal his smugness and just held the rabbit in his arms devoutly. He never thought that he could have such a powerful pet. Thinking of this, he decided to do something to make this rabbit his own. This rabbit had developed intelligence, so it would not agree to become his pet so easily. Rabbit was just leaving with him, but being
