“You don't have to worry about that. Just let me know if you’re willing to work with me,” Niffler said arrogantly. “Let me think about it.” Philip did not agree immediately. This was risky business. Although Philip was not afraid, he was unwilling to take risks for others. Niffler allowed half a day for Philip to think about it before leaving the store. Philip smiled as Niffler left. He was curious about Niffler.… While Cosmo City was in chaos, Alton made an exciting announcement. He took the initiative to hold a large-scale pill-making contest, seemingly wanting to boost the morale of his citizens. The reward was very impressive. As news spread, Philip heard about it. He was surprised by the reward given by the other party. “Not bad. This guy actually has sunflower seeds.” Philip was amazed. This sunflower was quite extraordinary, not at all like the sunflowers in his original world. This flower was oriented toward the sun, grew only in extremely hot places, and had

With a bright smile on his face, the guard respectfully handed something to Philip. “Mr. Clarke, our mayor wants to invite you to be a judge for the pill-making contest. May I know if you're free?” The guard handed a fancy invitation card to Philip. Philip did not refuse. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the alchemists in this world. “Tell your mayor that I agree. I’ll be there on time,” Philip said casually and sent the guard away. The guard nodded solemnly and sneaked a peek inside the store. After confirming that there was nothing for sale, he left in disappointment. The guard wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could buy something, but the shelves were empty. Cosmo City was quite well known. When the pill-making contest was announced, the news spread like wildfire. Almost all the surrounding cities knew about it, and their young and promising alchemists could not wait to go to Cosmo City with their luggage. The sunflower seed was very ent

Everyone gathered in the square, and outsiders stayed comfortably in nearby inns. Alton grinned brightly at the tax records during this time. Outsiders had to spend money on food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation. This event greatly boosted the economy of Cosmo City. Besides that, it gave the Cod family some breathing room while they were on the brink of collapse. While the Cod family took a breather, Alton raked in a fortune. As a judge, Philip visited the venue on the eve of the contest. Just as he got familiar with the venue and was ready to leave, he heard someone grumbling next to him. “Why are these people so excited over this contest? They even forced me to come here so many days in advance!” Philip glanced over curiously upon hearing this childish voice. He saw a very young kid. The kid acted quite maturely, with his hands behind his back as he complained, “It’s just a small contest, nothing worth worrying about. Winning first place is a walk in the p
The First Heir Chapter 5272
Philip could not deny that the kid was capable. After examining the pill in his hand, Philip thought the kid was pretty good. Although inferior to his students, he should be one of the best on this continent. Philip had never heard of this kid, but he forgot about the matter when he went home. The next day, all the contestants gathered at the square. The square was very crowded, and everyone looked forward to the start of the contest. As for the contestants, they looked at the ordinary practitioners in disdain.Practitioners were divided into different categories. Ordinary practitioners were only good at fighting, the lowest level of practitioners. Practitioners with skills, like them, were different. Alchemists and weaponsmiths had a distinguished status, enjoying preferential treatment no matter where they went. More importantly, they earned a lot of money and were quite powerful. Other than a possible slight disadvantage at combat, other aspects could be made up with pills
The First Heir Chapter 5273
The practitioners seemed very curious about these stories. They listened with great interest and exclaimed in surprise from time to time. Custard and the other kid were disdainful and seemed impatient. After some time, Alton finally stopped. Philip was almost dozing off. Alton’s speech was better than a hypnotic spell, putting Philip to sleep easily. “Okay, the level-five alchemist that everyone has been waiting for has arrived. I hope everyone can do their best and see if you can catch the eye of this alchemist! Maybe you guys will have a chance to become his apprentice!” Alton's words caused a stir, and everyone whispered in excitement. Everyone wanted the chance to become an alchemist’s apprentice. They listened so seriously just now because they wanted to leave a good impression on the other party. However, Chaplin didn't pay attention to the crowd because he was focused on Philip. Chaplin had never seen such an arrogant man in his life. Philip was the first person wh

Philip was very modest and did not brag about himself. After all, empty talk was quite unnecessary. Lyle was quite excited to hear Philip’s introduction. He actually felt that Philip was quite to his liking. “Oh, I see.” Chaplin looked down on Philip even more because he did not even dare to say anything about himself. Alton chuckled inwardly. This progress was within his expectations. Alton was aware of Chaplin’s character and knew that Philip would never compromise with him. The interaction between these two people would definitely result in sparks, and Alton could take advantage of the situation and reap some benefits from it. “Well, I think we can put this aside. Let’s start the contest!” At Alton’s command, the contestants went on stage.Alton had prepared all the pill furnaces and herbs for the contest. “Each person will receive two sets of materials. Failure will result in disqualification.” Alton announced the rules of the contest, which were clearly quite la
The First Heir Chapter 5275
Custard could easily make more than 50 pills from one set of materials, which was simply unheard of, so he chose to keep ten pills and hid the rest. He quickly finished using up two sets of materials, leaving 15 pills. Although Custard kept a low profile, he still attracted Chaplin’s attention. He thought that this boy's movements were smooth and fluid, very proper indeed. Chaplin even gained some enlightenment as he watched Custard’s pill-making process. However, the enlightenment was not very profound, so he looked forward to interacting with Custard in private. Time quickly came to an end, and many people were forced to withdraw from the contest. They stood next to their furnaces with remorse and anger. Two sets of materials were simply insufficient. Their failure rate was usually quite high, so this requirement was too steep for them. Pill-making was an expensive business, so ordinary families could hardly support the growth of an alchemist. “Okay, let the remaining
The First Heir Chapter 5276
Chaplin paused the progress of the contest and beckoned to Lyle excitedly. Lyle was surprised by this development. He merely made ten pills. “What are you doing? It's scary.” Chaplin's attitude was quite bizarre, and Lyle frowned in dissatisfaction. However, Chaplin was unfazed and accepted Lyle’s admonishment. He had to take this practitioner with great talent under his wing. Most practitioners who wanted to join him were not very talented, so Chaplin never took them seriously. Now that a great talent had finally appeared in front of him, Chaplin’s attitude was completely different. Chaplin spoke to Lyle cautiously, trying to trick Lyle into joining him. However, Lyle never played by the rules. Meanwhile, Philip simply watched without a word. He knew that Lyle would never give in to Chaplin. Sure enough, Lyle sighed impatiently upon hearing Chaplin’s suggestion. “Are you sick? This contest has not reached its end, but you interrupted it so abruptly. Do you even respect

“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
The First Heir Chapter 6315
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
