“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
Philip followed behind Neon. He was invited by Neon, so he had to follow him. He had no idea what was going on in Neon’s family, but since Neon had made a humble request, he could not sit idly by. After the two entered the door, they saw a man with a potbelly and a good-looking young man. Another haggard old man lay on the bed. The young man resembled Neon, so Philip guessed he was Neon’s brother. “Did I not say that no one is allowed to enter?” the young man said unhappily. “Nero Bell, don't think that you can do anything just because you’re my elder brother. Why do you have to save people behind closed doors? Do you really think the doctors you hire are great?” Neon snapped. The man with a pot belly stood aside unhappily with a few pills in hand. “Mr. Nero, what’s going on? Did you hire another doctor? This is a disrespect to me! If that’s the case, don’t blame me for not treating the patient!” The man was an alchemist and claimed to be Declan's apprentice. Now that t
Neon mocked. The man with a pot belly said smugly, “My teacher is Declan Lindell, someone beyond your reach in this lifetime!” Neon frowned. He could not verify this. He had no way to retrieve the list of scammers or he could easily expose the other party. However, Philip could not bear the excitement anymore. “Wait, who did you say your teacher is?” Philip could not accept someone tarnishing his apprentice’s reputation. He could tell at a glance that the other party had no exotic fire at all. It was common knowledge that people without exotic fire could not make pills. This person was bad enough for bragging, but now that his apprentice was involved, Philip could not let him be. “I just mentioned it, didn’t I? Who are you to speak to me?” The fat man was very arrogant and did not take Philip seriously. Philip smiled and nudged Neon. “In that case, go ahead and treat the old master. Let’s see what you can do.” That guy was so arrogant that Philip planned to ask his
Everyone panicked and rushed forward to help the old man up. At this moment, Nero and Neon noticed that the old man was no longer breathing. They were shocked and angry at this development. “What's going on? Why did he die all of a sudden?” Neon asked his brother angrily, flabbergasted by this outcome. Although the old man had always been unconscious, he was still alive. He could not accept this sudden turn of events. Neon stepped forward to hit the fat man, who avoided him nimbly. He stood in the corner and looked at the old man nervously. Philip saw the panic in his eyes. “How did this happen? I’ve never encountered any problems with this pill before,” the fat man muttered in disbelief, wondering why this happened. “You’re nothing but a fraud!” Neon wanted to kill him. Philip walked forward. He helped the old man up and stuffed a pill into his mouth. Nero wanted to stop Philip, but it was too late. Neon stopped chasing the fat guy and hurried back to the old man's
Everyone looked up blankly. Neon and Nero were ecstatic to see Declan, but the fat guy looked at him blankly, clearly not recognizing this old man. “It's great that you're here. Can you help us examine our father?” Neon rushed forward and brought Declan over warmly. Declan calmed down at Neon’s approach and followed him to the old man without any comment. “Please examine the old sir's condition. This buddy of mine just gave him a pill, and his condition has returned to normal for the time being,” Neon explained everything that had just happened. “I see. Since he has taken a pill, what else is there to examine? He has been cured for sure,” Declan said earnestly. The fat guy said, “That’s ridiculous. How can he recover after taking a pill? Do you think it’s a miracle pill? If a pill is really that useful, the old man wouldn’t have gone into shock after eating the pill I gave him!” Seeing his reaction, Philip stood up and said, “Whose apprentice did you say you were?” Phil
Although Neon was from a big family and had an immature mentality due to his pampered upbringing, he was ruthless and decisive. It would be a big mistake to think that it would be easy to fool him because he was young and naïve. The fat man was stunned to hear Declan's identity. “How is it possible? The top alchemist has gone missing. Why did this old man suddenly appear?” The fat man scowled. It would be over if it was the truth. “Cut the crap and catch hold of him. I want to teach him a good lesson!” Neon said fiercely. Nero pinned the fat man to the floor furiously. Philip sighed and turned his attention to the old man. After his treatment, the old man returned to normal and purged all the dirty blood in him. The floor was covered in black blood and dead bugs, a ghastly sight. The old man slowly woke up. He glanced around weakly, looking for his family members. Neon ran over and looked at him with great concern. “Dad, you’re finally awake!” Neon said excitedly.
The man was flabbergasted that his secret had been exposed. “If you don’t tell the truth, your family may be affected in the future. If I’m not mistaken, your family members have been impacted to a certain extent,” Philip said calmly. He had seen through everything. Philip knew quite a lot about this legendary secret technique. Neon and Nero looked at their father, who did not look too good. The two of them said in unison, “Dad, you should tell us or we may be implicated. Besides, it sounds like someone is out to get you. I guess that person won't let you go.” They were very concerned about their father's health. He probably would not be able to withstand it if the other party attacked him again. Everyone scowled at the thought of this. Philip sighed. He could not do anything if the old man refused to say it. The man struggled for a long time and finally decided. “Back then, I went to the South Cloud Region, also known as South City.” Philip sat on a stool and prepared
“You must be referring to the lark people. What do you want with them? They're not to be trifled with. You’ll be in trouble if you mess with them.” Everyone was delighted to hear about the lark people. It was great that someone knew something. Adam was very excited to find a clue as soon as they arrived. He had thought it would take a lot of effort to find something, but reality proved otherwise. “The lark people can be regarded as the overlords here. You can find out about them easily. I'm just an ordinary old woman, so I can't tell you too much. You should approach other people if you want to find out more. Maybe you can find a storyteller. I’m sure they can tell you some very important information.” The old lady was clearly unwilling to disclose anything, so everyone was disappointed. In that case, they could not force her. “Thank you very much. At least you gave us an inkling about what to do. We wouldn’t know so many things if it weren't for you.” Adam thanked the old
“I heard that her family is quite complicated. They seem quite troublesome.” Hearing that, everyone wondered what Adam meant. It seemed that he would face problems in pursuing a relationship with this woman. Carlos looked at Adam awkwardly and sighed. “It doesn't matter. We don’t have to worry about that. Let's just take things one step at a time.” Rabbit calmly drifted around with Philip, feeling quite good. “What's there to worry about? I say the old monk has nothing better to do than worry about trivial matters. It’d be embarrassing if so many of us couldn’t bring a woman back.” Until now, Rabbit felt that the other party was just an ordinary woman, so he did not think that there was anything to worry about. They quickly joined the line to enter the city. To Philip's surprise, there was no entrance fee at all. Moreover, their appearance and attire looked no different from the others. Philip and his friends calmly entered the place, and Philip stood on guard. He had a
Philip felt helpless at the sight of this vast starry sky and suddenly felt that maybe coming here was not the right choice. They arrived without knowing anything about this place, so they might encounter various dangers. “I’m curious about the woman you've been looking for. She must be quite extraordinary,” Philip said curiously, baffled about this matter. Hearing that, Adam shook his head helplessly. He was really clueless about everything. “I only know that I can come here and find her with the key. I don’t even know where she is. We can only search aimlessly in this starry sky.” Philip was dumbfounded by Adam’s incompetence. “I thought we’d be teleported to her home or a fixed location, so I don’t know what’s the deal with this. I have a feeling that I’ve been tricked.” Adam sighed helplessly. “Let's just wander around. I’m sure we can find something somehow,” Carlos comforted Adam, but he was not optimistic about it either. He knew that they probably could not find the
Adam had to reevaluate Philip’s strength. He used to think that Philip was simply the best of his generation. Although powerful, he was not invincible. However, the ability to change certain orders and rules was not something that just anyone had. It would not be far-fetched to call Philip the chosen one favored by the heavens. Philip told Carlos to bury Bryce before forgetting about him. Carlos quickly handled his affairs, packed his bags, and got ready to set off with Philip. Adam also waited for Philip without much luggage on hand. Philip stuffed Rabbit into the Verge Tower space. He had to bring Rabbit along with him or the latter would be up to no good. “Rabbit, stay in Verge Tower and stop bothering me.” Rabbit was upset to hear that he had to stay in Verge Tower but still felt happy that Philip was willing to take him along. “Next, the two of you need to relax. I’ll wrap you with my energy. Don't try to resist or you’ll only end up hurting yourself,” Philip said.
“I have other important things to do. Don't worry. I’ll be back soon, so make sure you work hard during this time. I’ve given you all the pills you need. Whether you can make full use of them depends on you.” In Philip’s opinion, the Hexa Guild could not do anything anymore, so there was no worry about them. After much deliberation, Jamie nodded. Philip did not belong to his guild, so he could hardly stop Philip from leaving. Moreover, Philip’s pill supply was already a great help to them. It would be annoying if Jamie asked for more. “No problem. Where are you going next? Do you need my help? I’ll do my best to help you.” The Celestial Palace was powerful enough for Jamie to say such things. Philip shook his head. He would be traveling with Adam next, and his strength was incredible. It was best for them to leave together. “It’s okay. I have everything prepared. Just do your best in the competition and don’t allow the Hexa Guild to take the upper hand.” Now that the Cele
“He lost his family when their enemies sought revenge while he was very young, so he's quite pitiful in a way.” Philip was not concerned about it. The life story of a loser had nothing to do with him. Moreover, Bryce was clearly up to no good. Getting to know him was a waste of time. “I found all the information he researched. To be honest, I’d think highly of him if he weren't up to no good.” Rabbit waved his paw smugly. He had looked through Bryce’s things and knew exactly what he had researched. Philip looked at a bottle of potion and could tell everything at a glance. “He’s a genius, indeed, but there’s no saving someone with bad intentions.” Philip shook his head helplessly. Bryce could only blame his bad luck for encountering them today. Carlos quickly took care of Bryce. There was no point in keeping such an evil villain. There was no need to be charitable in this situation. Adam looked at the room and sighed helplessly at Bryce’s unfortunate end. Although he had
Philip was curious about this situation. Since he could not get any information from the stubborn hooded man, he would find out indirectly. “That’s enough. Take him away. He has no value to us anyway. It's better to send him away.,” Philip said with disdain and did not take him seriously at all. The hooded man was shocked to hear that Philip was sending him away. He was nervous and afraid that Philip would do something to him. Although he was selfish and unreasonable, he was also a coward and afraid of death. Everyone sighed helplessly at his mournful wails. Adam closed his eyes, unwilling to get involved. Seeing this, Philip believed that Adam was unwilling to pay attention to his nephew, but he was still curious. If they were closely related, why would this guy's family sever all ties with Adam? It was advantageous to be on good terms with Adam. Not only would they receive guidance on practice, but they could also listen to his lectures from time to time. For example,
Philip and the old monk greeted each other happily as if they were old friends. Carlos was surprised to see Philip on such good terms with the high and mighty old monk. This was something he had never even dared to dream about. It was unbelievable that he could sit and drink happily with the old monk one day. “Let me introduce my friends.” Philip calmly introduced everyone around him, ignoring Carlos’ anxiety. Carlos stood up when he saw the old monk. “Hello, my name is Carlos. I admire you very much. I never thought that I'd be able to meet you one day. It’s my honor.” Carlos was happy and excited to get more perks than the guild leader. The old monk was quite friendly. After greeting Carlos with a smile, he looked at Philip curiously, wondering what he was up to. “I want to find out if you know someone.” After saying this, Philip asked Carlos to bring the hooded man out. The guy was tied up tightly and looked pitiful. More importantly, his clothes had been stripped off,
The hooded man woke up very soon, and he could not believe that Philip caught him. “What's going on? How did you catch me? This is impossible.” He was very confident in himself and knew that no one could catch him so easily, but reality had just proven him wrong. He had no choice but to believe it. “What's impossible? You underestimate me too much!” Rabbit snapped furiously. “What’s your name?” Philip stared at the man curiously. He had a feeling that this person was the same as the old monk. “Rabbit, call the old monk over. I want to speak to him. He may not know you, so you need to tell him who you are.” After interrogating this man, Philip wanted to speak to the old monk and find out his opinion about this hooded man. Since the two gave him the same feeling, they had to be connected somehow. Rabbit hopped over to find the old monk. He knew that the old monk was the best referral for this matter because he was very powerful and knowledgeable. The old monk was resting
