Not many people would consume pills on this continent. In fact, talented young people were prohibited from taking pills. After all, the residues could not be removed and would continue to accumulate inside the body. As for these soldiers, they ate a lot of pills because they had to maintain their physical strength and fight. They also took a lot of pills after fighting to treat their illnesses. Over time, their health deteriorated, and even the best alchemist could not help them. Even the best alchemist could not resolve the problem of the residue, which worried them. The pill Monty took earlier was different. After so many years of taking pills, he could clearly tell whether Philip's pill was effective. Philip's pill melted in his mouth and tasted wonderful. He did not have to absorb the pill before the effects reached his internal organs. Moreover, he did not sense any residue at all! Without any residue, there was no need to worry about side effects. After taking the p
“Everyone, you may stop worrying. I have something good here!” Several old men gathered together, and all of them looked troubled. One of their comrades might die in a few days! All of them had a few years to live, but one of the comrades had a shorter life span. This person was the most seriously injured back then. He sacrificed a lot and took a lot of pills. He only had a few days left to live now. He might suffer a relapse from his old injuries and die in a day or two. Everyone was angry when they saw Monty entering with a smile on his face. “What’s wrong with you? Our comrade is dying, but you dare to watch the fun with a smile on your face?!” “You’re simply heartless. I've misjudged you!” “Indeed, weren’t you out looking for a cure? Why did you return so soon? Have you found a cure?” Everyone’s comments expressed their dissatisfaction with Monty's attitude. After all, they were very worried about their comrade, but Monty was so blatant, which was very annoying.
“What are you waiting for? Take out the pill quickly. Don’t let our comrade die!” “That’s right, I can’t believe that you’re lucky enough to find a cure. Is it from a new store?” Everyone knew that Monty had gone to all the pill stores and tried various pills to save himself and others. Since he had the best health among them, he was the guinea pig. As a result, his health deteriorated to the point of being critical. Everyone was excited. Any little effect would be considered good enough. Monty took out the pill, and everyone was excited to see the exquisite box. “That’s great. Give him the pill. Let’s hope he returns to normal!” Everyone was expectant, hoping their comrade could be cured. “Don’t doubt it. You can take a closer look to see if I’ve returned to normal!” Monty released his energy to show everyone that he was well and his strength had improved significantly. At this time, everyone realized the difference in Monty. After careful observation, they discovere
“This is simply amazing. What’s going on? Did you take the pill too?” “It’s awesome that one pill can have such an effect. I can’t believe it.” “No matter what, let's give it a try. We can try other methods if this doesn’t work!” They stuffed the pill into the mouth of the old man lying on the bed. Everyone wanted to help him absorb the pill, but the pill simply melted in his mouth. It surged into his internal organs and spread to his limbs at a speed visible to the naked eye. “What’s going on?” Everyone was sick of saying this. They watched dumbfounded, at a loss for words. They had never seen such a powerful pill before. A few minutes later, they examined the old man and found that he had returned to normal. The bedridden old man slowly opened his eyes. He was surprised that he could wake up. “Wasn’t I in a coma? Why am I awake? Have I died but you guys died earlier than me? It’s good that we can meet in paradise again!” He wiped away his tears as he spoke. His form
Everyone respectfully called the old man Twine, who was a great contributor to Solstice City. Solstice City was so orderly because they established the rules. These old men were powerful and righteous, so they set various rules. Without them, the rules would not have been enforced, and the residents would not have been able to live and work in peace. Twine Barr examined himself and found something amazing. “This is wonderful. I've returned to normal. Even my old injuries are gone!” Although he was always a serious person, he was shouting in excitement now. After so many years, he regarded himself as a walking corpse and waited to die in bed. He never thought that he would return to normal one day, and he even felt well enough to fight again. “I've returned to my peak condition when I was young. I have nothing to fear even if I have to fight for three days and three nights! I think I can continue to practice too!” Twine smacked his thigh with pride and excitement.
“When I was bedridden back then, I vowed that I’d try to achieve the next level once I could continue practicing again. Now that I’ve recovered and restored my ability to practice again, I can't miss such a good opportunity!” Thinking of this, Twine turned to Monty. “Where did you get that pill from? Who's the talented genius who made the pill?” Twine was in a frenzy and could not wait to meet this amazing genius. “Someone with that ability must be about the same age as us. We can have a good chat over some good food and wine.” Twine asked his maids to make preparations. He was not short of good food and wine. Monty sighed helplessly. Twine was very impatient and did not give him the chance to say anything at all. “Don’t be hasty. Let me tell you about the situation first.” Monty told the group about Philip, which surprised them. His age alone was baffling enough. It was shocking to hear that he was a young man in his 20s. Everyone thought Monty was joking, including Tw
“What's going on? What time is it? Why is the store closed so early? This unprofessionalism is outrageous!” “That's right. Old men like us came all the way to buy some pills to try, but they're closed for the day. Are they serious about doing business?” They had weathered a fair bit of storm, so everyone treated them with respect. They had come in person but were greeted with closed doors, so they were not happy about it. More importantly, they thought they had finally found a cure for their old ailments. However, since they could not buy a pill, that was not going to happen. Philip and the others heard the commotion and felt exasperated by their impatience. Philip told Lyle to handle them. He was the youngest and usually spoke with tact, so he should handle this group of old men quite well. Lyle nodded and walked out with disdain. “Gentlemen, please stop knocking on the door. We're closed for the day!” Lyle said helplessly. Aslan did not have a good impression of these o
No one believed that Philip was the owner of this store, so they simply treated him as an ignorant fool. “You'd better open the door for us or you’ll face some consequences you cannot afford to pay,” the well-dressed old man said with disdain. “Didn’t you hear what my employee said? We can’t accommodate so many people at once. Besides, you didn’t ask us to prepare any pills for you. Where am I supposed to find so many pills at such short notice?” Philip said in a huff. “Besides, we've mentioned that we’ll be open for business one hour each day. You can buy it tomorrow.” Philip closed the door after saying that, making his stance clear. Everyone was agitated at Philip’s arrogance. At this moment, Monty appeared next to Philip. “I’m sorry. These people are used to getting their way by force, so they look pretty imposing. I already told them not to bother you, but they still turned up. Don't worry, I’ll advise them to return during your business hours.” Monty awkwardly tri
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
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
