Chapter 1893  Shock And Awe Shopping

Lin Mu dismissed the Four Faceted Nebula and sent it back into his Dantian.

There it turned formless and disappeared into nothingness. If others were to pry and look into Lin Mu's Dantian, they would be unable to tell that he even had a Spatial Dao Embryo inside. The ability of the Four Faceted Nebula to hide was simply impeccable.

"I think you should wake up now," Xukong spoke. "You intended to leave in a couple of days, right?" he asked.

"Oh, right!" Lin Mu realized. "It's nearly been two days!" he had spent a longer time in the Sleepscape than expected due to the breakthroughs.

While he obviously didn't regret it, he still wished to keep a schedule to follow.

"Let's get going then, we still have to get a few things before we leave the capital city." Lin Mu said and closed his eyes.

~SHUA~

He opened his eyes in the real world and stood up from the bed.

~Creak~

He slid open the door of his bedroom and appeared in the open courtyard. "Saintess?" Lin Mu called out, not seeing her.

"I'll be back in a bit. You get your things in order first." Her voice was heard in Lin Mu's ears.

"Alright, I'll go out to buy some things." Lin Mu said and left the courtyard.

He didn't know where the Saintess was but reckoned she was probably cultivating.

'She did say she had exhausted quite a lot of her energy in helping me. Perhaps she is also recuperating that.' Lin Mu thought, which was right.

High above the Capital City, the Saintess was on one of the many asteroids that circled the Rust Sky World. Her body was surrounded by clouds on which she floated and a handful of light specs were also present.

These light specks entered the runes on her palms and disappeared within them.

The Saintess's eyes were closed as she answered Lin Mu, but she opened them after she finished absorbing all the light specs.

'This will be enough for emergencies. But I'll gather more along the way.' The Saintess thought, looking at the runes on her hand. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

Due to being in an Immortal world, she couldn't just use Celestial Qi like she normally could. She had to use it in a restrained manner so as to not affect the world and its limitations. This made it very inefficient as well as exhaustive to do so.

Of course, she could always unleash her own Celestial Qi but that would be breaking the rules of not just the Immortal world but also the Immortal court.

It would make things bothersome for the Saintess and make it too troublesome to handle later. She would much rather avoid something like that. She didn't particularly fear them, but the paperwork and nagging they would give her would be too much.

"Hmm… is he going shopping?" The Saintess's gaze zoomed over to the ground and quickly spotted Lin Mu.

He went around the market with Little Shrubby on his shoulder and a mask on his face.

It was necessary since he had become a winner of the Tournament of the Four Guardians and as such would cause people to stop him. He didn't want to be bothered and took the precaution. This made his work much easier and he could go around buying all the things he needed much easier.

Most of the things he got were either ingredients that Little Shrubby wanted to get before they left the city, as well as a few herbs that he had been wanting to test out. In addition to that, Lin Mu also bought more maps and information about as many places as he could get. He bought more Herb and fruit compendiums as well as jade slips full of information about rare materials.

He looked through all the shops, trying to find as much obscure information as he could as well as maps. Lin Mu even bought maps that claimed to be of hidden treasures and sacred lands.

While he knew they were highly likely to be fake, he knew he could combine that with other information to form a better map and probably figure out more things.

After all, rumors had a source too.

"Now for the final buy." Lin Mu stopped in front of a clothing store.

'Golden Butterfly Raiments' The sign board read.

The shop was about ten stories tall and looked more like a small palace than a clothing store. It had sections for different kinds of clothes and fulfilled the needs for all kinds of cultivators. Whether they be immortal or not, they could all find something they wanted here.

Right from basic robes to immortal treasure robes, one could find everything here.

It was THE biggest clothing store in the Capital city and was also the most luxurious.

"Time to get some favorable treatment." Lin Mu muttered and took off his mask.

Now that he had finished most of his shopping, he didn't have a need for the mask. Plus in a shop like this, it was better to have a good reputation as it would allow him access to better items that others wouldn't get.

Not to mention, he would also get exponentially better service.

When he took off the mask, no one noticed.

Lin Mu even walked into the shop with ease. It wasn't until he actually talked to a clerk that they noticed him.

"Hi, I'd like to buy some immortal robes." Lin Mu spoke to the nearest clerk.

"Of course sir, what kind of—" The clerk was speaking in a practiced manner when he finally realized who he was speaking to.

His words got stuck in his throat and his eyes went wide.

"D-Daoist… Mu Lin!" The Clerk almost stumbled.

"Yes?" Lin Mu replied casually.

The clerk forcibly controlled his expression and turned up his hospitality to the max.

"Welcome esteemed guest!" He said at the top of his lungs. "Please come with me, I'll take you to our top floor. We cannot dishonor someone like you, with just this level of service."

This was more than enough for the other customers and staff to notice.

~HUMM~

In the next moment, music started playing all of a sudden and tens of people descended from the stairs playing multiple instruments.

Even Lin Mu was taken aback, as he hadn't expected something like this.

"Please," The clerk bowed his head and gestured for Lin Mu to follow him.

"Sure, let's go." Lin Mu followed after the man while the people chattered behind him.

All of them had recognized Lin Mu and were shocked that he had appeared here. But then they understood that it was somewhat normal for a winner to come buy some robes for himself.

Lin Mu ignored the words of the people and went to the top floor of the shop.

Upon reaching there, he saw a beautiful woman standing there.

She looked to be in her early thirties and was dressed in long pink robes. She had a golden coronet holding up her hair, while tasseled silver earrings adorned her ears.

'A Noble?' it didn't take much for Lin Mu to figure out her standing. 'That crest… one of the families of the Imperial Court?' He saw a crest embroidered on her sleeve.

Lin Mu went through the noble families he had read about in the Dao Wind empire and identified which one the woman belonged to.

'The Na clan.' Lin Mu remembered.

"Welcome, Daoist Mu Lin." The Woman cupped her hands. "I am Na Bi, the owner of this establishment and also the First Daughter of the Na clan." She introduced herself.

"Greetings, Miss Na Bi." Lin Mu too cupped his hands in greeting. "I've heard of the Na clan. Your father is the current Minister of Commerce, in the Imperial Court, right?" He inquired.

"Ah yes, Daoist Mu Lin is right." Na Bi smiled in contentment. "So, what would someone like you want from us today?" she asked.

"I'd like some Immortal Robes… preferably ones that have some level of defense and can repair themselves." Lin Mu stated.

"Ah, like the ones you are wearing right now." The woman's eyes quickly picked up on it.

"Yes, but maybe more resilient." Lin Mu added. "These ones are good… but cannot take stronger attacks." Na Bi smiled in response before speaking, "As much as I'd like to offer you something, I do not think there are any self repairing immortal robes that can withstand an attack from a Fifth Tribulation Stage immortal and stay intact." She knew about the fight that Lin Mu was referencing.

"But… there is something else I can offer you. It isn't exactly a conventional robe, though." She added.

"Oh?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"I've seen Daoist Mu Lin's fights, and as such, know that you have high defensive capabilities, right? As such, I don't think you need robes that are specialized in defense. Instead of that, how about I give you something that is… Immaterial." She spoke, catching Lin Mu's attention.
