Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy

they sat in their line.

”Please line up here in a different file.
You will be buying your pastes from her and I will only be treating patients from now on, ” Alex said.

The people who had left the original line immediately got onto a new queue.
While the one that remained regretfully went to the back of the new line.

Alex started treating the patients soon while Shurin helped sell the pastes.
After that, the day went smoothly.

Guyang, despite being punished to be here, didn ’t shy away from the work he did and did it as well as he could.
Being from a big family, he was a proud man and would masterfully do what he was made to do.

A few days passed and the clinic got more popular.
Fortunately for Alex, once the people who had been walking around with their wounds for ages were healed, there were not many new patients despite the vastness of the capital.

Even if there were a good number of injured or sick that appeared every day, they would simply buy the paste instead of going to get treatment.

As such, Alex got a bit more free time during the day.
During such free time, he started making more and more pastes to reach the demand of the customers.

Spirit stones gushed in like water from an open dam, but so did the stress.
Every day, Alex focused his time on either treating the wounded or creating pastes.

At night, he once again used his free time to make more pastes.
Soon, that became his daily routine.

His only relief came when the weekend arrived and he was finally free to do whatever he wanted.

During those days, Alex simply went to libraries and read up on new things, or stayed in his room and cultivated.

Perhaps it was because of the stress, or perhaps he was simply not getting enough time to deal with it, Alex ’s yang body flared once more and was getting hotter and hotter.

He needed some yin treasures to deal with it, but he had none right now.
Since Yin treasures were quite rare, to begin with, he would need to send someone to an auction.

Fortunately, the Royal palace always had people go in place of others to buy items from the auction house, so Alex had the princess buy something for him too.

The next week went fine for Alex, but the stress one increasing on him.

One of these days, Shen Jing showed up for training, but Alex had no time at all.

”You became a healer, huh? Suits you quite a bit, ” Shen Jing said.

”Brother Shen, can we move our schedule to the week ’s end? I don ’t have the time to train at all, ” Alex said.

”I ’m afraid I can ’t do that, ” Shen Jing said.
”I ’m on quite a tight schedule too.
I only have today as a free day to train you for the next few weeks. ”

”But I can ’t… ” Alex was a little saddened.

”No worries, I will just take Pearl.
Besides, you won ’t make any real progress until you break through, ” Shen Jing said.

”Right, ” Alex said.
”He needed to do that too. ”

”Well, don ’t kill yourself trying to take care of others.
You need to take care of yourself too, ” Shen Jing said.

After that, he left with Pearl to train and didn ’t return until it was late evening.

The next few weeks went by the same, but slowly Alex started to feel more and more overwhelmed with all the work.

On one of the free days, he sat down to relax in the garden when Princess Xumei arrived by his side and sat down.

”You ’re a busy man, little brother, ” she said.
”It is getting hard to get a hold of you. ”

”I ’m sorry, I ’ve been really busy, ” Alex said.
”Did you want something? ”

”Actually, yes, ” the princess said.
”Have you kept any track of time at all? How long you ’ve been here? ”

Alex thought for a moment and he shook his head.
The days were bleeding into each other.

”It ’s been over 3 months, ” the princess said.
”You know what that means right? ”

Alex thought for a second and lost the color on his face again.
”You are running out of the pills and pastes, aren ’t you? ”
