Chapter 1894 Silver Mirage Circlet

Hearing the woman's words, Lin Mu was a bit confused.

"Immaterial? What do you mean?" Lin Mu asked further.

"Well, I think it is easier to just show you." Na Bi said. "Please follow me." 

"Alright," Lin Mu said and went after the woman.

She took him deeper into the floor, where valuable clothes were kept. Lin Mu could see hundreds of mannequins lining the sides, each one wearing different kinds of clothes. The right side had men's clothes, while the left had women's clothes.

But that wasn't all, as Lin Mu could tell the further they went the better the quality became.

Of course, while all the clothes on this floor were of a high quality, it didn't mean there weren't higher quality ones.

Lin Mu used his immortal sense to scan the clothes and could find out information about them in one go.

'Oh? The mannequins actually have all the information about the clothing stored in them.' Lin Mu discovered.

There were clothes that had different kinds of resistances such as being fireproof or cold proof, or had special formations on them that could provide various effects like defensive barriers, emergency offensive skills and even escape techniques all built into them.

Of course, all these clothes were basically at the mid to high grade and were quite valuable. 

And when Lin Mu reached the end of the floor, he started to see armors of various kinds. From skin tight armor that looked like fish skin, all the way to full plate armor that basically turned one into a mobile fortress.

Lin Mu felt tempted to try out a few armors and also test out their durability. But then realized that even if he did get them, they would probably be obsolete once he learned the Longgui Bulwark Armor.

'Though it won't hurt to just check them out…' Lin Mu thought and used his immortal sense to probe them.

With his proficiency in formations, it didn't take much for him to understand the defensive power of the armors.

'They are quite strong… can withstand Fifth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm attacks and perhaps even Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm attacks, but that'll be their limit and they'll break.' Lin Mu analyzed from the formations.

What was more surprising to him though was that the materials used to make the armors were capable of a lot more than that.

'They're lacking due to the formations used…' Lin Mu understood. 

He wondered if this was due to the fact that this was a place specialized in clothes, rather than armors in general.

'I don't think they lack experienced formation masters at least… I've seen plenty of them in the capital city.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

This led him to the conclusion that it wasn't formation masters that they were lacking, but rather good Armor smiths.

'If Jing Wei or Jing Luo had access to the same materials, I'm pretty sure they could make armors that were at least three times better than this.' Lin Mu reckoned.

It made him miss them a bit, and he made a note in his mind to take as many kinds of metals and other materials as he could whenever he visited the Xiaofan world.

While thinking of all this, Lin Mu saw that Na Bi had come to a halt.

They stood in front of a long and narrow platform, on which several boxes were kept. Lin Mu didn't know what they contained and couldn't check either, as the boxes all had protective arrays on them that prevented immortal sense from entering it.

He just waited and let the noblewoman explain.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

"Here we are," Na Bi said before opening one of the boxes.

~shua~

The protection on the box was lifted, and its insides were revealed.

Within it, a red square cushion was placed, on which rested a thin circlet.

The circle looked rather simple, and was of a silver color. It had a circular shape like any other circlet but on its front, there was a V shaped design with two small leaf like motifs jutting from the middle of the shape.

Furthermore, the two branches of the 'V' also curled and were attached to the rest of the circlet[1].

If anyone were to look at the circlet, they would find it rather unassuming. 

It didn't look that valuable either. 

Even if it was made from pure silver, with its size, it wouldn't be that expensive. Of course, that was only if a mortal were looking at it.

For an immortal cultivator though, it was an entirely different object.

"What is this?" Lin Mu asked, unable to even sense the circlet with his Immortal sense.

Even if it was right in front of him, and Lin Mu could guide his immortal sense to 'touch' it, the circlet behaved like air.

His Immortal sense simply passed through it as it did not exist.

"This is the Silver Mirage Circlet." Na Bi introduced. "It is one of the signature inventions of our clan and had been made on demand from the noblewomen of our empire." She added.

"Oh? What does it do?" Lin Mu asked.

"Well, it can basically form the illusion of any clothes you can imagine." Na Bi replied casually.

"That is… quite interesting." Lin Mu was piqued.

"It was originally created because there was a demand from some of our more… 'Fashionable' noblewomen. They wished for clothing that would change on demand and wouldn't need for them to do it themselves.

At first, we simply made robes that could transform, but that came with its own limitations. The number of transformations were limited, and the more of them we added, the higher its price got.

Not to mention, the formations also became more complex, which led to higher chances of failure. Then there was the availability of the materials themselves which led to a logistical issue.

The material needed to make it was Mirror Light Silk. Which is not only expensive, but also a strategic material used in making high grade armors as well as weapons. As such we couldn't just keep on using it to manufacture clothing.

The imperial court wouldn't allow it.

This forced us to innovate further and we finally came up with this." Na Bi explained in depth as if trying to convince Lin Mu fully.

"I see… So can I try it?" Lin Mu asked right away.

"Of course, that's the best way to observe its effects." Na Bi said, picking up the circlet. "Please, allow me." She said bringing the circlet close to Lin Mu.

"Sure," Lin Mu lowered his head slightly, allowing the woman to place it on his head.

The circlet slid on his head easily, and felt like soft silk despite being made of metal. And when it was right in the middle of his forehead, it automatically adjusted its size and fit him snugly.

~shua~

Lin Mu could sense the Circlet trying to form a link with him as whatever restriction that was on it was lifted. He could now sense the circlet with his immortal sense.

"Treat it like any other immortal tool. It will respond to your immortal sense." Na Bi spoke.

"Alright," Lin M did as told and used his immortal sense to link up with the Silver Mirage Circlet.

~humm~

The connection formed almost instantly and was effortless. Some information appeared in Lin Mu's mind, and the method of operating the Silver Mirage Circlet also became apparent to him.

'It's actually a High Grade Immortal tool…' Lin Mu finally understood its quality level.

Something like this was already worth a lot of Immortal stones.

"Now, you should be able to pick one of the designs that is stored within the circlet." Na Bi instructed.

"Yeah, I can see them." Lin Mu said as a few robes appeared in his mind.

He picked one of the styles and let the circlet do its magic.

~SHUA~

In the next second, a wave of energy was released by the Silver Mirage Circlet and Lin Mu's clothes transformed.

From the previous plain brown robes, they turned into three layered robes.

The innermost layer was white in color, while the middle layer was red and had floral patterns on them. Then the outermost layer was black in color, forming an appealing contrast between the three colors.

And on the left side of Lin Mu's chest, a small black broach also appeared. From the broach, a black pearl tassel hung, adding a hint of elegance to the robes.

Na Bi who looked at Lin Mu couldn't help but blush slightly, feeling the change in Lin Mu's entire demeanor.

"The clothes certainly make a man…" Na Bi muttered to herself. "Daoist Mu Lin looks marvelous." She praised before waving her hand.

~shua~ 

A mirror automatically rose from the ground, allowing Lin Mu to take a look himself.

"Hmm… it does look nice." Lin Mu admitted. "Though… You said it can change to any design imaginable, but I only see a limited number of them stored in it." He expressed his doubt.
