Lyle tested his talent and smiled smugly because he knew he would win the bet. The talent testing device was very advanced. It could test a practitioner’s talent by pouring some energy into it, while an ordinary person had to do it with a drop of blood. The best talent would be indicated by a golden light, which was the highest it could go. The first batch of troublemakers had very poor talents, and their results were almost embarrassing to look at. Some of them even displayed a black light, which was simply a disgrace. However, they were not ashamed of it. After all, they were ordinary people with little ability, so they were not disappointed. It was just a pity that they could never become a practitioner. It would be great if they could win something from Lyle, so they were happy at that thought. “Although we’re not talented, it’s not to the point of being embarrassing. I believe that we’re much better than you!” “That's right. My result was pink, which is pretty good. I
For a while, all the major guilds bickered, eager to grab hold of Lyle. The people who initiated the bet were dumbfounded and shocked by Lyle’s powerful talent. It was fine if his talent was ordinary, but it was obviously not the case. The guilds were not fools. They would never pay such a high price to recruit an ordinary guy. Lyle simply turned to the people who bet against him. “Don’t we have a bet? Is it time to settle the score?” Lyle pointed to the things piled up on the side with a bright smile. They belonged to him now. “I’ll take these so-called heirlooms of yours, but to be honest, I’m not interested in them at all. It’s good enough if I can sell them as scrap.” Lyle mocked them on top of taking their things, which was downright annoying. However, they did not dare to say anything in the face of Lyle's great talent. They could only sigh and let Lyle take their things. “In that case, we can only accept our defeat, but do you need any helpers? All of us can…”
The small guilds chose to give up but not the large guilds. They tried to persuade Lyle. “Even if you have a teacher, he won’t be as professional as the guilds. You have to believe that a guild can provide a better practice system and make you more powerful!” “Why don’t you consider the Pill Guild? We're the biggest pill producer and can give you a bright future.” People from all the major guilds eagerly promoted themselves. Even though Lyle had rejected them, they refused to back down and doubled their efforts. Lyle was getting impatient and annoyed by these persistent people. “I’m sorry, but I’m really not interested in this area. You’re welcome to buy things in our store, but you can forget about recruiting me. This store belongs to my teacher, so please stop doing this.” After saying this, Lyle turned around and returned to the store gallantly. He had no intention of joining these guilds anyway. At this moment, the device that tested Lyle's talent exploded, maybe beca
People from the Pill Guild were full of disdain. In their opinion, Philip was dispensable and could be dealt with easily. Philip did not know that he had been targeted for no reason. He thought they would give up. After all, Lyle had turned them down. No one should persist so shamelessly. However, he underestimated the power of a genius. A genius like Lyle was highly sought after. “Philip, I think these people are planning something at the door. Do you think they’ll attack our store?” “Hehe, if they dare to attack our store, I’ll kill them!” Lyle and Aslan chatted at the door. They regarded this store as their home. Anyone who dared to destroy their property would be dead. Philip shrugged nonchalantly. “They can do whatever they want. Their actions have nothing to do with me. Maybe they just want to cause trouble.” Philip made himself a pot of tea. These guild members always did what they wanted, so he did not take them seriously. It was getting late, so Philip closed
More and more people queued up for the test the next day. Among them, a man entered Philip's store and bought the cheapest pill after much deliberation, which cost him three million energy stones. Philip was baffled by this transaction that happened out of the blue because no one else was willing to enter his store other than the old men who were his regular customers. Obviously, someone was trying to tarnish his reputation outside, which was why his business became so bad. When Philip was about to close his business in the afternoon, someone turned up at the door. Some people surrounded Philip’s store in disdain as if they were going to cause trouble. Aslan moved closer. He did not know what they were trying to do, but he sensed their hostility. “Who are you? What are you doing?” Aslan glared at them impatiently. They tossed something at Philip fearlessly. “Something happened to our people after taking your pill! We want an explanation!” Philip frowned when he saw the
The energy stones were marked with the Pill Guild’s logo, so they had to belong to the Pill Guild. In that case, these people had to be from the Pill Guild. Philip smiled without a word. He did not have to waste his effort in investigating the matter now. Everything was right in front of him. The members of other major guilds gathered around. They noticed the conflict and wanted to watch the fun. “I wanted to check out this store today, but I’m surprised to see this scene. Is this store running an illegal business?” “Selling a problematic pill can be quite serious. I’d advise everyone to stay away from this store in case anything happens to you!” The onlookers spoke arrogantly without any consideration for Philip. They just wanted to humiliate Philip. “Who are you? Why do you say that our pills are problematic? Are your pills better?” Aslan retorted. In his opinion, nothing would be better than Philip’s pills. The onlookers reacted with disdain at Aslan’s remarks. “Of c
Philip smiled, waiting for the other party to reveal their ultimate objective. The people from the Pill Guild were taken aback by Philip's indifference. After much deliberation, the first speaker finally decided to extend an invitation to Lyle. “You must be Lyle. As you can see, they're not good people. Why don't you join us? The Pill Guild has a good reputation and will never harm others.” The person from the Pill Guild smiled brightly, trying to use the guild to influence Lyle. “My name is Dwight Canning, and you can call me Dwight. We’ll be a family after you join the guild.” Hearing that, Lyle burst out laughing at that ridiculous remark. “Say, Dwight, you think too highly of yourself. As I said, I won’t join any guilds. I don’t care about your lousy guilds at all, do you understand?” After saying that, Lyle sat on a stool leisurely. Dwight felt very angry at Lyle’s uncaring attitude. He wished he could take this guy to the guild by force. He would have done so if L
Dwight did not realize that Lyle was so powerful. He thought that Lyle was just talented, but he was so strong as well. He might become an official member very quickly if he joined the guild. “Haha, you’re really ignorant. You can enjoy a better life if you join our guild, and you'll have more than what you have here!” Dwight scrambled up miserably, rubbing the sore spot where he was kicked. The pain in his chest where he was kicked just now spread all over his body. He felt like he had been insulted. It was a disgrace that a dignified member of the Pill Guild was humiliated like this. “You've seen my strength. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my teacher’s knowledge. If I can defeat you, it shows that the Pill Guild is full of losers!” Lyle said harshly. Dwight was furious. He wanted to ask someone to attack Lyle but gave up after recalling his strength. In consideration of their strength, it would be embarrassing if they were defeated again. He could not guarantee th
“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
