Have you been waiting for me?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, dear guest. Her Highness, the princess has given me the order to assist you in anything you need,\" the girl said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Yu Ming, you can call me Brother Yu,\" Alex said. \"How old are you, Shurin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am 18 years old,\" Shurin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah, really?\" Alex was surprised. \"But you look so young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have lived in the palace for a long time, so I started cultivating from a young age. As such, I ended up looking younger than I really am,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Alex nodded as he heard her. He quickly sensed her cultivation base and was surprised to see that she was on the very of breaking through to the True realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything you would like me to do?\" the girl asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex thought for a second and quickly pulled out a talisman to write down something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are a list of ingredients. Can you get me as many as you can? You can find me in the guild after you've collected them,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right away, brother Yu,\" the girl said and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex left the palace too. He made his way towards the center of the city where the guilds were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Still as packed as ever,' he thought as he looked at the guild. Since it hadn't even been a week since the Formation competition, the city was still packed full of people waiting for the Teleportation platforms to be open before they could leave back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, at that time, they were busy roaming the streets and visiting different locations, including the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the guild was massive, so it could easily house the many people that were there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex looked around for a bit, taking in the guild's image as he would be working here for the next 2 years or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the guild, Alex made his way to the mission board and looked around for something to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he did, a new mission popped up for an interesting pill. \"A pill to increase someone's libido?\" he chuckled a little, but he was interested in the recipe himself. He was interested in every new recipe he came across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex took the mission despite it only requiring a 30% Harmony pill and looked for other missions to take. As he searched, he found another mission regarding an antidote and decided to take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he couldn't. \"Huh? I can't take two missions at once?\" he was a little surprised. That hadn't been the case back in DawnSpring city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is it because this is a capital? I will have to ask the staff later,' Alex thought and pulled out his badge from the mission board. As he was about to leave, a hand landed on his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\" a voice spoke to him. Alex turned around and saw a man in his 30s with a thick beard as well as a True Earth badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How may I help you, brother?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just take a mission regarding a libido pill?\" the man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Alex said, a little surprised the man noticed. 'Can other people check what mission I took?' he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was meant for me. Why did you take it?\" the man said in an angry voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It didn't have your name on it,\" Alex said. Usually, if someone wanted a specific alchemist to make them something, they would make sure to name the alchemist in the mission so that only he could take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that's… goddammit! He was supposed to put my name on it,\" the man said. \"Can you return the mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh… no, I will have to pay a fine,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just a little fine. What does it matter?\" the man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to pay the fine in my stead then?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, yeah, whatever,\" the man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex shrugged and went on to return to the mission. However, when he did, the mission board gave him a rather weird prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Forfeiting this Mission will cost you a fine of 460 True Spirit stones-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?\" Alex said as he looked at the pill. It only asked for a single pill, then why was it asking for 460 spirit stones? It wasn't like he already got the ingredients and wasted it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's asking for 460 True Spirit stones. Give it to me before I cancel it,\" Alex said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" the man said in an exaggerated tone. \"How could it— shit! It must be… arghh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? What do you want me to do?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man deliberated for a moment but couldn't say anything. 460 was a lot of Spirit stones that he couldn't force someone to pay and couldn't bring it out himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alchemist Tang!\" A relatively angry voice spoke from behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex turned around to see a man in a purple robe look at the middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That robe… is that the same one as the little girl from earlier?' Alex wondered when he saw the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you still out here? You should be making my pill,\" the man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, brother Lu, there's been a little problem,\" the man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What problem?\" the purple-robed man asked and the man named Tang explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So? Just pay the fee and make my pill,\" the man said. \"You, forfeit the pill right now. I'm in a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, give me the spirit stones then. Besides, What are you in a hurry for with such a pill in the middle of the day?\" Alex asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! Do you know who I am?\" the man shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you shouldn't talk back with him,\" the man whispered to Alex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed and shook his head. \"I'll just go make your pill then. It will be faster that way,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I don't like you. You will not be making my pill,\" the Lu man said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dammit! Pay me the spirit stones then,\" Alex said angrily. He was starting to get frustrated too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You dare talk back to me, I will—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Yu,\" A voice came from far away as Shurin came running towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh hey, what's up?\" Alex asked her as she gave a weird eye towards the Lu man before running up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's the ingredients you requested for,\" Shurin Gave it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So quickly?\" Alex asked as he looked through the ingredients. There were indeed a lot of the ingredients he asked for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was a request by you, brother Yu. I will have to do it fast no matter how,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't need to be so serious about it. Think of me as a friend,\" Alex said and looked at their robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you guys from the same sect or something? I thought you worked in the royal family,\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are disciples of the Royal family,\" Shurin said. \"That makes me wonder, Uncle Lu, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I'm just…\" he couldn't answer since the answer was so embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, did the princess give you an order too?\" Shurin asked with bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The princess… what?\" the man named Lu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The princess. She didn't tell you to meet with brother Yu?\" Shurin gave a confused look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um… which princess are we talking about? Your mother?\" the man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess Xuemi,\" Shurin said. \"Did she not send you for Brother Yu? He's her guest. Or rather, he's the Emperor's guest and is working under her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" the man was shocked like he heard the name of god. \"Is this… true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" Shurin gave a weird expression. \"Did you not know? Why else would you be bothering brother Yu at this time then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… I'm sorry, brother Yu,\" the man suddenly fell to the ground in a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's happening?\" Shurin asked Alex. Alex explained the best he could without saying anything… unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? A high fee for forfeit?\" the girl's face suddenly got angry. \"Uncle Lu, are you abusing the royal family's privilege in the guild?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I...\"  the man couldn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will tell my mother about this today,\" Shurin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, no, please,\" the man started pleading but Alex only shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'm off to make pills. You guys do whatever you think is right,\" he said and left.\u003C\u002Fp>",1402,"2026-05-29T03:37:27.223Z","2026-06-01T04:29:05.147Z",1,"novelbin.me","248c42d63e0ae38443052d7260a5dce679f8d0d673d957bcafeffa9798e7d9b4","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-722","eternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-chapter-720",3577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-of-alchemy-cover.jpg"]
