Chapter 350 - Dressing Up

~Zonggg~

Lin Mu was practicing with a long sword currently. The sword was rather oddly shaped and it took Lin Mu quite a while to get used to. The blade of the sword was wider at the base near the handle and stayed like that for about one third of the length before becoming narrower.

The widest part of the blade was about four fingers wide and the narrow part was two fingers wide. The blade was also about six feet long, which was taller than Lin Mu. The only weapon that Lin Mu had in his storage longer than this were a few spears and lances.

Lin Mu felt that this sword was a bit unwieldy but was getting used to it. He practiced for a few more minutes before stopping.

"That should be enough for today..." Lin Mu said before setting down under the spirit apple tree. He looked up at it and felt as if it had become a bit more vibrant.

"Did it grow a little bit? Hmm, perhaps not in height, but it has definitely become a little broader." Lin Mu said after checking it.

Pushing this thought to the back of his mind, he practiced the Nameless technique of the lost immortal. Even if he had reached his goal, Lin Mu did not really want to fully stop practicing the technique. He was still not at the limit and wondered what things were still hidden.

According to senior Xukong, the Lost immortal who created the technique was a great cultivator who should be stronger than even immortals. So considering that, this technique should be useful for him for quite a long time.

From what Lin Mu had learned, a lot of cultivation techniques were limited in the realm that a cultivator could reach with them. Their classification was similar to that of the spirit weapons and according to their grades could be used by cultivators of that level and could let them reach that level.

For example, a low tier spirit grade cultivation technique would allow one to reach the core condensation realm at most. A mid tier spirit grade cultivation technique up to nascent soul realm, high tier till Dao shell realm and finally peak tier till the Dao treading realm.

As for the immortal ascension realm, senior Xukong told Lin Mu that it didn’t really need a cultivation technique to reach and it depended more on the cultivator’s luck and comprehension.

Lin Mu had asked Senior Xukong what grade his cultivation technique would be, to which he simply said one thing- I don’t know. The nine divine heart sutras were like the nameless technique of the lost immortal, they had never been practiced before and thus there was nothing to compare it with.

Besides, they were still doubtful whether it could even be classified as a full fledged cultivation technique or an auxiliary one.

Finally, before falling deep into sleep, Lin Mu went through all the things that had happened that day and the plans of the next day.

The sunlight shined through the window as a gentle breeze blew, ruffling the curtains. Lin Mu woke up and stretched his body before walking outside. He could hear someone talking in the yard.

~Slide~

The door of the room opened and Lin Mu entered the yard. There he saw the servant talking with two men. Lin Mu didn’t know who they were, but seeing that they were allowed entry freely like this, they must have belonged to the Hei corps.

"Ah, good morning, master. You came at the right time, Lord Hei has sent some gifts for you." The servant spoke.

Lin Mu looked at the packages that were kept on the stone table.

"What’s in them?" Lin Mu questioned.

"Why don’t you open and take a look," The servant said with a smile.

Lin Mu nodded and started opening the packages. Inside, he found a set of luxurious brocade robes. They were dark blue and had gold embroidery. In the other package was a silver coronet along with a Jade ribbed fan. Lin Mu could tell these were all the clothes of an aristocrat.

"So lord Hei wants me to wear these for the banquet?" Lin Mu asked.

To be honest, Lin Mu wasn’t really feeling the appeal of these clothes. While they looked luxurious and were identity symbols, to him they were too gaudy. He preferred the more simpler clothes that he wore and felt that they were more comfortable.

"Yes, the Lord said that these would help match your identity. He said that since you have made a fake persona, he will present you as his friend from another kingdom." The man who had come to deliver these said.

Lin Mu nodded and understood the reason behind this.

"That makes sense. I’ll wear them then." Lin Mu replied.

The two men bade him farewell before leaving the courtyard.

"I’ll take these inside master, the banquet will be starting at 8pm tonight so you have quite some time till then." The servant said before asking, "Will you be going out?"

"No," Lin Mu shook his head. "Not today, I’ll stay here. Just tell me when it’s time to leave. I believe Lord Hei will be accompanying me?"

"Yes, Lord Hei will be coming with the carriage." The servant replied.

Lin Mu nodded and returned inside. He cultivated while the servant got the breakfast ready. Lin Mu felt that he was at least able to enjoy some good food while he was here. Then he was reminded of Little shrubby.

"Perhaps I should have brought him too. Then he would have been able to taste these dishes too..." Lin Mu muttered to himself as he finished the breakfast.

He sensed his connection with little shrubby and while there was no communication with Little Shrubby, Lin Mu could still feel that it was as strong as before. He spent the rest of the day in cultivation, and it was soon time for the banquet.

"Master, the carriage will be here soon, you should get ready." The servant informed.

Lin Mu nodded his head and entered his room to wear all the clothes and accessories. While he was able to wear the robes and shoes with no problem, it was still difficult for him to wear the silver coronet as his hair was a bit short for it.

~Sigh~

"I give up, this won’t work." Lin Mu said before an idea appeared to him.

Lin Mu withdrew an item from his ring. It was a long metallic curving pin. This was actually one of the weapons that were included in the Thousand armament blade scripture. He had not practiced it till now and it was going to be used as an ornament now.

Lin Mu put his hair in a bun before using the pin to lock it in place.

~Clack~Clack~Clack~

The sound of cantering horses came from outside, and Lin Mu knew the carriage was here.

"Master, Lord Hei is here." The servant announced.

Lin Mu left the courtyard and saw the large carriage that was pulled by four white horses. The character for ’Hei’ was carved on its sides and lanterns hung from its four corners.

~Sigh~

"Let’s go..."
