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
The First Heir Chapter 5277
Custard’s initial plan was to put one more pill than Lyle, but he placed more by mistake, so he was sure to win this round. After all, he was the last contestant, so no one else could surpass him. Chaplin stared at Custard in disbelief and anticipation. He hardly saw any pill-making geniuses, but he bumped into three today. The girl was pretty good but lacking in comparison to the two boys. Custard, the last contestant, was simply incredible. “Custard Clarke?” Chaplin read the name aloud and wondered why he had such a strange name. “Sorry, there was a mistake. It's Gustard Clarke." Custard chose his name because of Philip, so he did not want others to call him by this name. Chaplin nodded at the sight of the more normal name. “This name is very unusual and seems quite domineering, very suitable for pill-making. Why don't you join me as my apprentice? I can take your pill-making achievements to the next level.” Philip laughed at Chaplin’s bragging and thought something was

“What do we do with him?” Carlos asked. He wanted to skin the hooded man alive. Rabbit bared his teeth. “Kill him! Take off his clothes and hang him outside for everyone to see!” At this time, Alain finally noticed the commotion on this side. They were very noisy, so everyone kept looking over, trying to see what happened. Alain saw a familiar man lying on the ground. “What’s going on?” He walked over for a closer look and saw the hooded man! “What’s this? How could this happen?” Alain was dumbfounded. The onlookers had been watching, so they knew the situation. “What happened?” Alain asked in agony, wondering what happened. A kind onlooker explained, “Oh, don’t you know? That rabbit knocked the hooded man out!” Alain was taken aback by that remark. “How is that possible?” Alain was full of disbelief and thought someone had done something behind the scenes. Although he knew that the rabbit was powerful, he did not think it was strong enough to deal with the hooded

“You went too far! I’m well-respected wherever I go. How dare you treat me as a pet?” Although Rabbit had lost his memories after turning into an inanimate puppet, he could still deduce what had happened from Philip’s remarks. The hooded man was embarrassed to hear a rabbit reprimanding him. “If I can take you as my pet, that’s just a testament to my ability. If Philip couldn’t control you, what’s the big deal if I took you for my own?” The hooded man had always seen Rabbit as a pet, never a friend. Rabbit’s only purpose was to entertain him and fight for him. “Philip, leave this guy to me.” Rabbit was eager to take care of this guy. Carlos glared at the hooded man, certain that he had never seen him before. The hooded man also turned his attention to Carlos. From the match earlier, he knew that Carlos was from the Celestial Palace. In that case, he would have no reservations. He wanted to get to know someone from the Celestial Palace anyway. He ignored Philip and Rabbit
The First Heir Chapter 6324
“What?” Carlos suddenly felt that maybe that rabbit in the hooded man's arms was Philip’s pet. “Stay here. I’ll take a closer look. I have a feeling that the guy is more than meets the eye. I think he was the one sneaking around my house.” After saying this, Philip walked over briskly. He had never seen such an arrogant thief. The guy was bold enough to appear in public after stealing someone’s rabbit. “Did you steal that rabbit from me?” Philip approached that man and asked solemnly without beating about the bush. The hooded man was taken aback by Philip's direct approach. “When did you appear behind me?” The hooded man was horrified to know that someone had snuck up behind him without his knowledge. It was as if Philip was immaterial. Feeling Philip's strength, the hooded man dared not say another word. He thought he was undefeatable, which was why he decided to watch the fun in person, but he got careless. “Are you saying that this rabbit belongs to you? Why don’t you

Jeff sneered at this scene and knew that it was time for payback. He did not plan to kill Hogster at first. After all, he was the young heir of a guild and represented the Hexa Guild. However, Hogster had pissed him off thoroughly. He had to kill Hogster at all costs. Thinking of this, Jeff raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Hogster. With that, everything was over. Alain closed his eyes at this scene. He shook his head in helpless agony. Due to the technique that he practiced, he could not have another child. Although he had been working hard to groom Hogster over the years, he had not stopped trying to get another child either. However, none of the women could get pregnant! Hogster was his only child so far. Unfortunately, his only son was dead. Under Jeff’s attack, he turned into dust and vanished without a trace! “How did things turn out this way?” Alain aged drastically all of a sudden and looked very haggard. The hooded man watched the scene warily, shocked

“What's going on? What drug did he take? It’s so powerful!” Jeff exclaimed in horror. All his attacks were ineffective, so what about Hogster’s attacks? At this time, Hogster attacked Jeff. His invincible mode would only last a few minutes. He had to seize the opportunity to take Jeff down. However, Hogster was not worried at all. In his opinion, dealing with Jeff was just a matter of seconds. “Go to hell!” Hogster made his move. He launched a killing move without holding back at all. Jeff was no match for Hogster at all. He was sent flying and fell to the ground miserably. Everyone looked at him with pity. Jeff spat a mouthful of blood and looked at Hogster in horror. Hogster had become so strong that he was no match for him at all. “Hehe, is that all you can take?” Hogster sneered. He was about to kill Jeff when the latter took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it. It was the same pill he had taken earlier. Sure enough, Jeff was back to normal after taking

“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
