Chapter 52: Chapter 42 Tier Three Wizard Robe i
Translator: 549690339
People gathered into teams, treading along the small paths in the jungle, slowly moving forward.
The total number was close to a thousand.
Xu Mu and his companions were among them.
They were only at the outskirts of the jungle now, not having to worry about attracting the attention of monster beasts. It was not time to split up yet, and people were still huddled together.
“Flower… Transform…!”
Compared to the confusion and uncertainty of people for their future and path ahead, Little Ling’er, who was entering the jungle for the first time, was almost crazy with joy.
She reached out for grass, picked flowers, gripped a handful of leaves and even wished she could fly after the butterflies she saw!
Her joy and happiness removed a touch of sorrow from the crowd.
It was midsummer now. The jungle was extremely hot and humid with people not even walking for long before cultivators who had weaker abilities started sweating profusely, needing to find a spot to sit and rest.
“All right! I almost forgot about this!”
Watching Yingying’s forehead drip sweat, Xu Mu suddenly remembered, and subsequently pulled two vestment robes from his storage bag.
One blue!
One purple!
All these tier-three robes were made from spirit worm silk and golden thread, with more than a dozen formations engraved on them, such as the most common Dust Avoidance, Spirit Gathering, Heart Calming, Sweet Rain, Wind Resistance, Wishful, Body Protection, etc.
Among them, Heart Calming Array and Sweet Rain Array both had a cooling effect.
However, the most precious was the Body Protection Array, which passively triggered a tier-three Body Protection Skill when the wearer was in danger.
For low-level cultivators, this Body Protection Skill could be a life-saver. For high-level cultivators, by the time they needed to trigger the robe’s Body Protection Skill, they were basically on the verge of death.
Therefore, the robes were more for comfort and for showing one’s identity for high-level cultivators.
Just like luxury goods in the former world which were not of much practical use.
After all, the material restrictions of the robes make it difficult to engrave powerful arrays.
Xu Mu took out the robe, of course, to give to Yingying.
And of course, for himself too!
These robes were taken by him, he didn’t dare to wear them before, but now it didn’t matter.
“Ying Er, which one do you like?”
Is this for me?”
Looking at the two robes emitting a faint magical aura, like fairy clothes, Yingying was so excited that she was almost shooting beams out of her eyes.
“Of course it’s for you! If you’re not satisfied, I have more!” Xu Mu laughed.
“I’m satisfied! I’m satisfied!”
Yingying nodded repeatedly.
She hesitated and decided on the purple one.
A person is defined by clothing, just like a Buddha shining in gold!
Once Yingying put on the robe, she was immediately radiant with a spirit aura circling around her.
A few people around her were envious.
That was a tier-three robe!
At least five medium-grade spirit stones – they wouldn’t be able to afford it even if they sold themselves.
Lan Shijin, who was considered rich, was wearing only a tier-one robe, unwilling to wear a tier-two.
As for Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren, they couldn’t and wouldn’t dare to wear them.
In fact, if it weren’t for the safety of Yingying, Xu Mu wouldn’t take out a tier-three robe, which was a rather peacocky move.
But there was no choice, as they were in the jungle now. Danger could strike from anywhere. With this robe, Yingying would be much safer.
The robe also had a Pest-Repelling Array, saving a lot of trouble.
Of course, if anyone dared to covet it, he wouldn’t mind some extra profit.
The robe had an automatic size adjusting array system, so there would be no issue with fitting.
Yingying put on the purple robe, and Xu Mu subsequently put the other blue robe on himself.
Never having worn a robe before, Xu Mu immediately felt extraordinary.
Clear breeze swirling around him, faint spiritual energy automatically infused into his body, making him feel relaxed.
“This should be the effect of the Spirit Gathering and Heart Calming Arrays! Not only is it comfortable to wear, it probably also boosts cultivation, indeed a luxury!”
Xu Mu suddenly regretted not wearing it sooner.
Little Ling’er was very fond of their new clothes, touching them with her little hands.
Unfortunately, she was too young. No matter how the array adjusted, she couldn’t wear it.
Considering the journey ahead, Xu Mu took out several tier one vestment robes and handed them to the others in the team.
This could reduce many troubles and dangers!
“Friend Xu, this is too precious, I can’t accept!” Zhang Shouren hurriedly rejected.
Even the cheapest tier-one robe required forty to fifty lower-grade spirit stones, which he couldn’t afford.
However, his grandson was reluctant to let go of the robe, longing for such fine clothing since he was a child.
“Just consider them lent to you! Return them to me when we get to the Liyang Sect!” Xu Mu laughed.
I knew I shouldn’t have been polite!
Zhang Shouren groaned internally.
As Xu Mu had put it so, he didn’t postpone it anymore, thinking about repaying him somehow in the future!
Ouyang Ying accepted it generously and immediately put it on.
The weather was too hot and stuffy – the robe was definitely a relief.
Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening declined.
They had their own.
Xu Mu didn’t bother being formal with them. Since they didn’t need his, he took it back.
Their team now wore robes, making them seem sophisticated overnight. The Loose Cultivators traveling with them looked on in awe.
Of course, some were envious, their eyes red-hot.
Like Zhou Chong!
Their team was not far from Xu Mu’s, and Zhou Chong noticed Xu Mu and Ye Yingying wearing tier three vestment robes at a glance.
“Who would have thought that old man had so much money! If 1 had known, 1 would have invited them to join my team. 1 might have scored a robe for myself!” Zhou Chong regretted.
Not that he couldn’t afford a robe with his wealth – he was just reluctant to buy one.
After all, besides from being comfortable to wear, a regular robe didn’t offer much else.
“Brother Zhou, getting a robe is easy!”
A pale cultivator standing nearby made a throat-slitting gesture.
“Cough Cough! We can discuss that later!” Zhou Chong whispered.
On the surface, he hunted monster beasts for a living, but in reality, he also frequently played the role of a thief.
Or to put it another way, any cultivator hunting monster beasts doesn’t mind playing a thief from time to time. For them, it’s all deadly work anyway.
I’ll go contact the others first!” said the white-faced cultivator.
Zhou Chong nodded.
Naturally, it was impossible to undertake such deeds alone.
He was part of a small team who often collaborated!
Furthermore, he knew quite a few others in the same trade, so he could swiftly gather a large group of ruthless rogues if a significant target arose.
To them, the whole team was prey.
As far as the actual number of people who can make it to the Liyang Sect alive is concerned, it’s very few, so rather than leaving these goods for the monster beasts, we might as well take it ourselves!
Zhou Chong isn’t the only one with such a mindset!
The nights here are about to become a lot less peaceful!
Time flew by!
As darkness fell, people scattered into individual groups, each setting up their own camp, setting up tents, preparing to rest.
Since Xu Mu and the others weren’t accustomed to venturing wild or camping, they didn’t prepare any tents.
Fortunately, they had Ouyang Ying!
Not only did he prepare tents, but multiple ones!
In addition, he also brought all types of outdoor supplies.
Though most of it wasn’t useful for him, Xu Mu felt that inviting Ouyang Ying to join their team was a wise decision.
While the current group remained together at the circumference, his value would truly show after they gradually dispersed into the dense woods.
They set up three tents in total: one for Xu Mu’s family of three, one for Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening, and one for Ouyang Ying and his grandson, Zhang Shouren.
They also arranged for two night guards, with Xu Mu on the first half of the night and Lan Shijin on the latter half.
They had no choice but to do this, given that they were the highest-ranked cultivators.
Even though Leng Yuening was also a mid-stage Qi Cultivator, she lacked experience. Xu Mu wasn’t petty enough to quibble about it.
Late at night, Xu Mu detected someone using an Invisibility Technique-like skill within his perception. This person stealthily left their tent, heading off into the distance.
Xu Mu frowned slightly, but decided to ignore it.
After switching shifts with Lan Shijin, he didn’t fall asleep immediately. Remaining somewhat alert, he wasn’t quite used to spending his first night outdoors in the woods.
“Husband!”
“What?”
“I want…”
The silence of the night was deafening in the deserted wilds.
The day quickly passed in a heartbeat.
The next day, as dawn was just breaking, an uproar suddenly erupted in the group.
Someone had died!
More than one person!
