Chapter 722 Learning New Things

　　It was evening when Alex left the Alchemy room. During his 6 hours of Alchemy session, he managed to make about 25 high-grade healing pills.

　　He walked outside and saw Shurin waiting at the side of the hall.

　　"Shurin? Why are you still here?" Alex asked.

　　"I\'m waiting for you, brother Yu," she said.

　　"Oh, did you need something?" Alex asked.

　　"No, I\'m just doing my job," She said.

　　"And waiting for me? You don\'t need to do that. I will let you know if I need something, but most of the time I won\'t need anything," Alex said.

　　"No, it\'s my job to go around with you," Shurin said. "That\'s the job her highness the princess gave me."

　　"I see," Alex said. Now that he thought about it, members of royal families went around with guards and the likes everywhere. Maybe this was a similar thing.

　　The two of them walked out of the guild and made their way back toward the palace.

　　"You\'re not a servant, are you?" Alex said.

　　"No," Shurin said. "Did you think I was?"

　　"Well, the princess said she would get me someone so I assumed it would be a servant," Alex said. "But then I heard what you said this afternoon about your mother being a princess, and I thought no one would make a princess a servant."

　　Shurin bowed her head a little in embarrassment. "I… I\'m not a princess," she said.

　　"Eh? You are not? Then what was that about your mother being one?" Alex asked.

　　"My mother is a princess, but I am not one," Shurin said.

　　Alex was still confused, so she explained further. "Everyone that is more than 2 generations away from the main branch is not considered part of the royal family."

　　"My mother\'s grandfather was the brother of the Emperor at that time. Because of that my grandmother and my mother are considered part of the royal family, so they are princesses."

　　"But since I\'m a third-generation, I get no such title," Shurin said. "In fact, if you see someone that wears these colors, you can consider them someone with royal bloodline, but not a royalty."

　　"So the guy from this afternoon, he was…"

　　"His great grandmother was a princess during the same era as my great grandfather," Shurin explained.

　　"I see, I didn\'t realize such a thing would happen. That would mean the royal family technically is huge," Alex said.

　　"You could say that," she said.

　　"And these robes, what are these for?" Alex asked.

　　"These are robes worn by disciples of the royal family," Shurin said.

　　"The Royal family has a sect?" Alex asked.

　　"No, it doesn\'t," Shurin said. "Well, technically it is a sect, but they don\'t call it that since they only accept members with the royal family\'s bloodline that aren\'t royalty anymore."

　　According to Shurin, there were at least a thousand different disciples in the royal family that trained every day. 

　　The place where they trained was beyond the massive mountain behind the palace.

　　"Oh right," Alex said as he brought out something from his bag. "Here, I made this for you."

　　Shurin took what Alex gave her and looked at it. "A pill?" she asked as she opened the pill bottle. Inside was a bluish pill with a vaguely sweet smell.

　　"What is this?" she asked.

　　"It\'s a pill to help you easily enter the True realms," Alex said. "Just eat that before you are to break through and you will enter the True realm for sure."

　　"Woah, really? I\'ve been thinking of getting something like this made," Shurin said. "How much do I need to pay you?"

　　"Pay me? That\'s a gift. You don\'t need to pay me," Alex said.

　　"A-are you sure? I can\'t have you give me something like this. The family will think I took advantage of being with you," Shurin said.

　　"Well, if you can\'t even get something out of an opportunity, what\'s the point of even getting that opportunity?" Alex asked.

　　Shurin thought for a moment before nodding. "Thank you," she said.

　　It didn\'t take them long to get to the palace and Shurin took off with the pills Alex had made for the others.

　　He was very happy with the result he got from those pills, but when he thought of the gruesome wounds those pills could heal, it felt like a huge waste letting someone with minor injuries eat those pills.

　　Those should be left alone for someone with more serious injuries. But what else could he do? He couldn\'t just cut a pill into parts and give those to people.

　　That would ruin a pill.

　　He needed to find other ways to heal a— 

　　"That\'s right!" Alex thought. "I completely forgot about them."

　　Alex quickly returned to his room and locked the doors before throwing everything in one of his storage bags into the bed.

　　What came out of the bags were multiple vials and talismans. Alex quickly opened one of the vials and looked inside it.

　　There were medicinal pastes in there.

　　\'It hasn\'t gone bad right?\' he thought and started looking at the talismans that were full of recipes for the medicinal pastes.

　　Once he realized that he could easily gather the ingredients, he decided to venture out into the art of medicinal paste making.

　　\'Well that alone might not help either,\' Alex thought. He would have to do something concurrently to that to make it extra effective.

　　After a whole night of cultivation, early next morning, Alex went to find the princess.

　　The princess was out in the garden with another princess that Alex only saw today.

　　"Little brother Yu, meet my sister Xianzi," the princess said introducing the younger, but almost as pretty princess opposite to her.

　　"Greetings, princess Xianzi," Alex greeted her, who greeted him back.

　　After a few friendly conversations, Alex turned to princess Xumei and told her that he planned to stop making pills in the batch for now and wanted to try out medicinal pastes.

　　"What\'s medicinal pastes?" the princess asked.

　　"Oh, it\'s like this," Alex brought out a vial from his storage and quickly explained everything he knew about it until now.

　　"You don\'t need to eat expensive pills to heal yourself, and even the most talentless person can make them since the recipe is so simple," Alex said.

　　The princess was intrigued. "Anyone can make them?" she asked.

　　"Yes," Alex said. 

　　"Can I make them?" she asked again.

　　"I would think so," Alex said with a confused look. "But you\'re a princess. Would you want to make this?" 

　　"I make poisons all the time," the princess said. "These are nothing."

　　"Poisons? Ah, right. I forgot for a second there," Alex said as he remembered that the Royal Family Wei was known for the poison arts.

　　"So, can you teach me?" she asked.

　　"I will have to practice for myself first, but I don\'t see why I won\'t be able to teach you," he said.

　　"Great! Tell Shurin whatever you need. She will get it to you," the princess said.

　　"Thank you," Alex said. "Also, I wanted something else princess."

　　"What do you want? Just ask me," the princess said.

　　"I was wondering if there were books or journals regarding medical knowledge from a physician or doctor," Alex said. 

　　"Um, there should be some in the royal archives. Have Shurin take you there this afternoon," the princess said.

　　"Thank you, princess," Alex said. "I will be off then."

　　Alex couldn\'t go very far away before he found Shurin waiting for him outside the garden. He told her what he needed, and after taking him to the Royal archives, she left to get his stuff.

　　Alex entered the massive room in the palace that was the royal archives. It was just a single room full of books, but it had so many books that he could likely not finish reading in even a hundred years.

　　There were already a few people inside who gave him a weird look for his lack of guard or royal outfit. Still, since he managed to get in, no one bothered him at all, and continued with their study.

　　Alex started searching for the books he wanted to read about. It didn\'t take him long to find one about general diseases and illnesses.

　　He took the book out and started reading it slowly. Most of the information in the book was something he had already read before. Still, he finished it all just in case there was more information.

　　Once he was done, he went to find another book and read them too.

　　After a few hours, Alex left the library with about 3 books worth of knowledge in his mind that he needed to process for a bit.

　　Shurin gave him the ingredients he needed after he left, and Alex made his way to the Alchemy guild.

　　Alex tried telling Shurin that she didn\'t need to follow him all the time, but she was adamant that she follow the orders of the princess.

　　\'I will have to talk with the princess about this,\' he thought and made a mental note.

　　Once at the Alchemy guild, Alex made a few pills to start off and then started making some more healing pills for a few hours.

　　Only after that did he finally take out the ingredients he had ordered as well as the mortar and pestle he needed.

　　It was time to make some medicinal pastes.
