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.
Even without wanting to, he was starting to reach 70% with good recipes now.
'I should be able to do better if I manage to get my damn body under control,' he thought as he forced the little yang that leaked back into his body.
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.
