Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

Chapter 573 Teach Me

"Cousin Tao, I\'m sure you will be alright. If what young Yu Ming has said is accurate, you will just have to not try to provoke the beasts," the emperor said.

\'Cousin?\' Alex wondered why the emperor was calling him that. \'Is this Fu family the same as the royal Fu family?\'

"I understand, cousin," Fu Tao said. "But my fear still remains. I watched a lot of the people who entered with me get torn to shreds by the strong beasts."

"Although I believe they were the first ones to provoke the beasts, it still causes me quite a bit of discomfort knowing that they can kill us at any time."

"Given that we have to travel for nearly a week\'s worth of time without stopping anywhere, it will be hard to stay unnoticed," the man said.

"So we will have to sneak in quietly," the girl said.

"Sneaking is just impossible. Entrance through the teleportation platforms shines a bright light in all directions on top of making a noise. Also, the palace will immediately learn about the intruders the moment we enter."

"Our process should not be to sneak in, rather enter politely. If you sneak, they might consider you to have a bad intention," Ning said.

The man nodded when he heard that, but then he rose his eyebrows. "We? Are you planning to go in there again, young brother?" Fu Tao asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "As I mentioned, my beast is still in there. I intend to take him back."

"Uhh… isn\'t the cat in the palace with the saints?" the emperor asked.

"What? If that is so then we can\'t take you with us, young brother," Fu Tao said.

"I don\'t expect you to help me save my cat. I only ask you that you let me get in with you," Alex said.

"I… don\'t know, that still sounds quite dangerous. We are afraid of the trouble coming back to us," the man said.

Alex sighed. That was understandable. He would have perhaps done the same thing in the man\'s situation as well.

"Then how about this," Alex said. "Can you teach me how to open the teleportation platform? I will go in a week after you guys. By then, you should have already left the realm, right?"

The man fell into thought. "Yeah, that should be possible," he said. "If you are willing to wait at least a week, then I am willing to teach you the method to open the formation as well."

Alex\'s eyes shined. "Thank you, brother Tao," he said.

"Alright, that should be enough for today. Will you leave tomorrow then, cousin Tao?" the Emperor asked.

"Yes, I want to go back as soon as possible," the man said.

The two of them left, and so did the princess. Only the princess and the Emperor remained.

"I didn\'t think you would be wanting to go there too," the emperor said.

"I need to," Alex said.

"Alright, Wuying will show you to a guest room. Since you will be likely staying for an entire week, make yourself at home," the emperor said.

"Yes," Alex said. "By the way, your majesty. I… have a small request."

"Request? Go on, if it is possible, I will grant it," he said.

"Will it be possible for you to ask senior Lai to meet me?" Alex asked.

"Lai Qing?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Yes," Alex said. "I want to know if he has any knowledge about pills that would help regrow my arm."

"Ah, yes. You should be concerned about that as well. I will send him a message. As for when he will come, I don\'t know myself," the Emperor said.

"As long as you send him a message, I am fine with that," Alex said.

"Alright, I will do so," The emperor said.

Alex left with the princess and went along with her to his guest room. However, it didn\'t seem like the princess intended to bring him there as she brought him someplace else.

Alex looked around awkwardly as the passing maids and servants looked at him curiously.

\'Where are we going?\' he wondered.

They went past a set of hallways before reaching a section of the palace that seemed to not have that many people working there.

The Princess walked up to a room that was guarded by 2 black-robed figures and asked that she be let in.

The guards opened the door and she walked in with Alex in tow.

"Aunt Mixie, look who is here," she said in a loud voice as she walked in.

"Little Wuying, you need to stop shouting while inside," A man said as he walked out of the inner section of the massive room.

"Second Uncle, where is aunt?" she asked.

"I\'m here, child. I heard you the first time," a woman that looked to be in her late 20s arrived in front of them. She wore a red dress with long flowing hair.

Alex looked at the woman. Although her skin color had changed quite a lot, her face still remained the same.

"Aunt Mixie, I brought him to meet you," the princess said.

The husband-wife looked at Alex, but they wouldn\'t recognize him no matter what.

"Who is this young man? Certainly not your…" the uncle said.

"Stop thinking stupid things uncle. He is the one that helped cure Aunt," the princess said.

"Oh, OH," the two of them finally realized who they were looking at.

"Young man, you must be Yu Ming then. I am Fu Zemin, the second High prince of the empire," the man introduced himself.

"Greetings, your highness," Alex bowed towards the both of them.

"You need not bow towards us, child. You saved my life. I, Rei Mixie, bow towards you," the woman bowed slightly towards Alex.

"Ah, you don\'t have to do that, your highness," Alex said. "I am just glad to see that you are doing fine."

Seeing a person, whose cultivation base was in the True Emperor realm bowing in front of him made Alex feel quite awkward.

The two couples happily asked questions to Alex, who answered as well as he could. They showed a genuine smile towards him and were really kind people.

Alex couldn\'t help but wonder how such a family could produce someone like Zexi.

After a while, the princess finally took him to his guest room. Alex went into the grand guest room that would make anyone feel jealous regarding the royals.

Alex closed the door and went on to cultivate. He decided to not cultivate his yang technique while he was in the palace and instead went with the Yin technique to reduce the yang his body was naturally producing.

After a whole night of cultivation, Alex woke up in the morning. He went out and met up with the people that were ready to leave.

"You\'re here, young brother," Fu Tao said. "Let us go then. Finally, we can return back home."
