1895 A Satisfying Buy

Lin Mu didn't know if Na Bi's words were wrong or if there was something else that he was missing.

"Ah, the designs you see in it are the ones we have stored. If you wish, we can add more to them." The noblewoman replied. "Also, since you are a Formation master too, you should have no issues in adding them yourself too." She added.

"I see…" Lin Mu replied feeling content.

"The Silver Mirage Circlet creates active Qi flow around your body, which simulates the feeling of clothes. As such, even if someone uses their immortal sense, they would still think you are wearing clothes that are visible to them. In reality, you could be wearing anything underneath. 

Though… it is best you have some clothes on as it is easier for the Silver Mirage Circlet to work that way. While it works even without any clothes, the consumption of immortal Qi will be higher." Na Bi explained.

"Yeah, I can sense the drain on my Immortal Qi." Lin Mu felt his immortal Qi being drawn into the circlet and then being used to create an illusion of different styled robes. 

Right now it was more like, the immortal Qi was flowing down his actual robes and then bouncing out in a pattern such that it generated the appearance of the illusory robes that he seemed to be wearing. This had a lower consumption since the circlet could simply use the preexisting robes as a base.

But if Lin Mu was not wearing any clothing, it would have to spend extra energy generating the Qi flow to give a 'physical' aspect to the illusory clothes. The Qi flow generated would be higher and as such the consumption would also increase.

"The immortal Qi demand is also why not many noblewomen use this often. While there have been several sales, they only use the Silver Mirage Circlet when there are occasions that demand it. After all, not everyone would like a constant drain on their Immortal Qi stores." Na Bi stated.

Lin Mu could understand this as it was indeed a valid concern for most cultivators. Not everyone was like Lin Mu, whose passive absorption rate of Immortal Qi was higher than the consumption rate of the Silver Mirage Circlet. As such, he could continually wear it and he would still have a net positive gain to his Immortal Qi.

In fact, if the extra immortal Qi drain took up just a fraction of his passive absorption rate. It was small enough that Lin Mu could ignore it entirely.

This alone was more than enough for Lin Mu to be fully convinced.

"I'll take it." Lin Mu stated. "How much will it be?" he asked.

"800 High Grade Immortal Stones." Na Bi said with a smile. 

To most immortals, this would be a crazy price to pay for an immortal tool that merely created the illusion of clothes and provided no protection. After all, they could buy enough clothes to last thousands of years just by using a single High Grade immortal stone. 

Rather than spending it on something like this, they would rather buy a useful immortal tool that could increase their power.

But for Lin Mu, who had a unique problem and had plenty of funds, this was a non issue.

"Here you go," Lin Mu easily took out 800 High Grade Immortal stones and handed them to the woman.

"Thank you," Na Bi didn't even need to count them and stored them away. "Is there anything else you would like?" she asked.

"Hmm… What other items are there?" Lin Mu asked, eyeing the other boxes.

"Ah… I don't think you would find these useful for you." Na Bi replied, but still went to open them. 

With all the boxes open, Lin Mu finally took a look at what was inside them. 

He could see jewelry of various kinds, from necklaces, pendants, earrings, and anklets all the way to elaborate full torso covering jewelry that was hard to describe.

"It is mostly just jewelry with various effects. They are made complimentary with some of our signature designer clothes and have different effects. But they are mostly for vanity and are beautifying in general." Na Bi explained.

"Ah, I see… yeah they won't be useful for me." Lin Mu agreed. 

The thought of getting some for the Saintess did cross his mind, but then they were quickly wiped out by his common sense. Why would he give something like jewelry to the Saintess which she could very easily afford? Or possibly had much better quality ones.

It might even be insulting to give something like this.

As such, Lin Mu decided to take his leave.

"Thank you for the recommendation." Lin Mu spoke.

"Please come again, Daoist Mu Lin. Our establishment shall always be welcoming to you." Na Bi said while cupping her fists.

With that, Lin Mu put on his mask and went downstairs.

Now that his robes had changed, and the mask was on, no one could recognize him. As such, he easily left the Golden Butterfly Raiments and entered the street.

Lin Mu brought Little Shrubby out again and the two casually strolled through the streets, enjoying the sights for one last time. After all, they probably won't be returning here for a long while. 

They had already bought all the things they needed, and as such didn't stop anywhere. And an hour later, they were back at the Hundred Fruits Pavilion.

It was around 11 PM at night, and the Saintess was still not there. 

'I guess she's still busy. Though it doesn't matter, she can reach us in a short time anyways.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 

"Should I make something?" Little Shrubby asked.

"Hmm… perhaps something light tonight." Lin Mu said and looked at all the fruit trees. "Maybe some dessert?" he suggested.

"Alright!" Little Shrubby replied. "I'll pluck all the fruits since we won't be here after this." He added.

"Sure." Lin Mu didn't mind that since the entire courtyard was for them anyway and they could use it as they deemed fit.
