Philip walked past a clinic and glanced inside. It was the most luxurious store he had ever seen in Imperial City, obviously expensive at a glance. More importantly, although it was expensive, there was no lack of visitors. Everyone sat in discomfort, waiting to see the doctor. Philip was amazed by this scene. He turned around and was about to walk away when someone stopped him. The man stood in front of Philip and handed a queue number to him. “Bro, please help me with my queue for the time being. My stomach is killing me!” he groaned in pain to Philip and put a few energy stones in Philip's hand. Clearly, he was asking Philip to queue up for him. Philip was surprised to hear a practitioner suffering from diarrhea. He would be a laughingstock if word of it got out. Seeing his earnest approach, however, Philip helped him with the queue without a word. He had nothing to do anyway, so doing a good deed was not bad. The man soon returned and apologized to Philip with a smile
“You must be a miracle doctor! I can’t believe that I have a miracle doctor standing in front of me! You’re amazing!” He took out some money and stuffed it into Philip's hand excitedly. Philip was startled by his enthusiasm and felt a little embarrassed. “You’re welcome. This is nothing. Keep the money. I’m just here for a look.” Philip returned the money to the other party and turned to leave. At this moment, however, a ferocious-looking man stood in front of Philip and stopped him from leaving. “What’s up?” Philip scowled at the hostile man. The man who wanted to give Philip some money stood gaping, but his high spirits took a fall because he recognized the other man. “Hey dude, there’s no conflict between us. You don’t have to stop him,” the man who suffered from diarrhea said awkwardly. He felt sorry for landing Philip in trouble. “I’m sorry, buddy. Find a chance to run away. Don’t stay here anymore. This guy is out to get you!” After saying that in a low voic
The young man was holding a handful of herbs and looked like a doctor here. “Why is it so noisy outside? Don’t you know that we have to keep quiet? Go away if you don’t want to see a doctor!” His attitude was very arrogant, and he looked so young that most people would not think he was a doctor. The onlookers were very excited at the sight of the young man and started waving their hands, trying to grab his attention. However, the young man arrogantly ignored them. The young man stared at Philip condescendingly and fidgeted with the herbs in his hands. “So, you’re the troublemaker. Get out of here and stop affecting our business.” Philip simply wanted to take a look before leaving, but these people were so arrogant that he changed his mind. “Why should I leave just because you want me to?” Philip said with a smile and picked up some money that fell to the ground. The money belonged to him, and he was not about to leave it for these losers. Hearing that, both the youn
On the other hand, no one knew Philip. He was simply an unknown person who appeared out of nowhere, so no one thought highly of him. The patients in Philip’s group lamented their bad luck but fortunately, Neon said that he would take responsibility for them. “The patients in your team don’t have to pay for the treatment, and if their ailment persists, they can come back to me anytime and I’ll treat them for free.” Neon said that on purpose to stimulate Philip. He glanced at Philip provocatively, hoping to see his anger. However, he was sorely disappointed. Philip simply sat aside waiting for the challenge to begin without intending to be angry. Neon snorted coldly, and someone announced the start of the challenge. Philip glanced at the patient in front of him and immediately figured out his condition. “Eat this.” Philip handed the other party a pill made by the kids at home. Only one pill was needed to cure most ailments. Every patient here was suffering immensely. They
Philip sat aside and looked at Neon, looking like a victor mocking him. Neon glanced at Philip in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him. However, reality proved otherwise. All of the patients were alive and well without any injuries or discomfort. Seeing this scene, Neon sighed at his unexpected defeat. Everyone knew that he was a miracle doctor, so it was embarrassing to lose to someone. “Impossible. How could I lose?” Neon muttered under his breath. At this time, the burly guard stepped forward and said, “Dr. Bell, I saw him giving pills to his patients. Something must be wrong with the pills!” The man was very annoying and tried to make things difficult for Philip. He complained about Philip, thinking he could land Philip in trouble. Neon said to Philip curiously, “The pill my guard mentioned, can you show it to me?” Although Neon was devastated over his defeat, he was still rational. “I don’t mind showing it to you, but don’t
Neon gave the guard a reassuring look and savored the pill carefully. The pill melted in his mouth, and the taste was impeccable. The energy in the pill rapidly flowed into his internal organs, repairing his whole body. In fact, Neon was facing some issues. He encountered an incident when he was in his teens, so he could only maintain the appearance of a teenager. He felt very uncomfortable with this childish appearance. Thus, Neon chose to take a back seat and treat patients. Although most people would not ridicule his height and would only compliment his skills, he was worried about not finding a girlfriend. When he took the pill, a sudden change came over Neon. His dwarflike stature grew taller very quickly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. Neon’s young and tender face also became more mature. Philip was not used to this sight but had to admit that Neon had become more mature. “This pill can actually unclog my veins and meridians. It’s amazing!” Neon yell
“I studied medicine because I wanted to treat myself, but after practicing medicine for so many years, I never succeeded. “A doctor can't heal himself. This saying makes sense.” Neon was full of emotions. All his hard work over the years was no match for a random pill given by others. Likewise, he realized the value of Philip’s pill, which Philip had given out dozens of earlier. “Are you an alchemist?” Neon looked at Philip expectantly. He was acquainted with an alchemist in Imperial City, but the other party could not make a pill to cure him. If Philip was really that good, he had to be friends with him. “Of course, I made these pills myself. I’m here just to take a look.” Philip made no secret of his achievements and admitted everything openly. Neon almost went crazy. He pulled Philip into the corner to make a personal request. Philip was curious about Neon’s sneaky actions. This guy was still a kid, after all. “I have a request. My family member is seriously il
A girl asked curiously. The bodyguard rolled his eyes. “I don’t know who he is. I thought he was a troublemaker, but he turned out to be an expert!” The bodyguard felt very embarrassed and wished he could bury his head in a hole. Fortunately, no one dwelled on his mistake or he would have been in trouble. Philip did not make things difficult for the bodyguard either. There was no point in messing with a normal human. Neon quickly took Philip back home, treating Philip as a miracle doctor by now. Philip cured him so easily. What else could he be if not a miracle doctor? “Are you a doctor?” Neon asked Philip curiously. Philip shook his head. “I'm just a practitioner who can make pills.” He preferred to keep a low profile. Neon showed a look of realization. “So, you’re just an alchemist.” Neon was relieved to hear that. The status of an alchemist was very high, better than a doctor. Neon would not have become a doctor if he could make pills. Although doctors were h
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
Philip was not afraid at all. He knew that someone would target him, but they were just losers. They might be influential, but they were nothing in his eyes. He did not want to cause trouble, but it did not mean he would let anyone insult him. Philip and the others quickly found a tavern that looked quite high-end. “This place looks interesting.” Philip found the various decorations quite novel and knew it would not be cheap. “I don’t think it’s so easy to find any important information here. Just look at the customers and you’ll know that we’ll spend a bomb,” Carlos marveled at the price tag. Adam looked at the menu curiously and was quickly surprised to see how expensive it was for a pot of tea. “A pot of tea costs thousands of crystals?” Adam almost had a meltdown at the price. “Look at the requirements stated on the menu. Each person has to order a minimum of a pot of tea. Anything less than that and we’re not welcomed.” Adam shook his head helplessly and suddenly
“It’ll take a long time for this little fox to become a human. I think you would've found your other half before that happened.” After exchanging some pleasantries, Philip bade farewell to the shopkeeper and left without further ado. They had to hurry up to find the person Adam was looking for.… Meanwhile, Luther hurried back home unhappily. He never dreamed that he would suffer such humiliation one day. As soon as he returned home, a man greeted him. It was none other than his father, who doted on his son. “What's wrong?” He was surprised to see his son ignoring him. His son was always flashy and arrogant, so his behavior was quite unusual. Luther was in no mood to pay attention to his father. He returned to the room angrily without saying a word. “Guard, what’s going on? Did someone bully my son?” Luther's father, Klein, glared at the guard unhappily, blaming the guard for everything. The guard kneeled in fear and felt sorry for himself. “The young sir was brows
The shopkeeper was clearly relieved by Philip’s remark and direct approach. However, he was also embarrassed by Philip’s bluntness. He smiled at Philip awkwardly as an apology. “Why don’t you recommend a pet for my buddy? It should be a stronger one, preferably a combat type!” Philip glanced at Carlos. He knew that Carlos was too embarrassed to take the initiative. Carlos looked at Philip gratefully, letting out a shy chuckle. The shopkeeper recommended several pets to them. Carlos was dazzled by the sight and wanted them all. Adam looked at the scene with satisfaction. Although he had a high position, he did not have a decent pet either. It was difficult to have a pet in their world. With a wave of his hand, Philip generously bought a pet for each of them. At this time, Philip heard a whine from somewhere. He turned his head curiously and looked for the source of the sound. “What’s that noise?” Philip looked at the shopkeeper in confusion, unable to find the source of
Luther was at a loss for how to react. If the rabbit could speak, it had to be stronger than his pet. Although his pet was very powerful, it was just an ordinary creature that could understand some basic instructions and handle normal interactions. A talking pet was simply to die for. “Wow, how can that monster pet speak? It’s a force to be reckoned with.” Luther was shocked to see a talking pet. It was enviable to have such a powerful monster. Before this, he mocked the rabbit for not having any ability, but the tide had turned. He was almost going crazy with jealousy and wished that he could take the rabbit for himself. “I didn't bring my pet along, so I’m afraid I can’t show it to you. Losers like you don’t deserve to see my pet.” Luther acted full of snobbery and disdain, but he clutched his purse awkwardly. In fact, not only did he bring his pet out, but he had also been ready to show it off at any time. After all, his pet was very powerful and could grow bigger or sma
Philip was annoyed by the guy’s ridicule and simply wanted to keep a distance from him. “I don’t care who you are. I don’t want to pay attention to a loser.” After saying this, Philip could not wait to leave this disgusting place. He felt sick at the sight of the guy’s ugly face. Carlos lost the mood to watch the fun. He shook his head helplessly and turned around to leave. However, that guy was used to getting his way. He did not plan to let them leave in one piece. Anyone who offended him had to die. “Surround him. Don’t let him run away!” The man glared at Philip with disdain, sure that Philip would die. Philip was quickly surrounded by a large group of people. They were angry that Philip dared to go against their boss. “Who are you? Where did you come from? How dare you disobey our boss? Didn't he tell you to stop?” a guard yelled angrily. He was clearly a competent lackey, loudly accusing Philip as if he was going to stand up for his boss. “What are you looking at?
