Chapter 1949 A Spatial Tool For Xiao Yang
Now that the two Head Elders were satisfied with the payment, the Flash Cleave Axe officially belonged to Xiao Yang.
"We'll be able to explore further with these. There's even a chance we'll be able to improve upon the Peak Grade Immortal weapons of the future." Head Elder Heng spoke.
"I hope that you all have great progress." Lin Mu replied.
It was at this time, that Head Elder Dajian had a thought while looking at Xiao Yang.
"Do you know how Xiao Yang is going to keep the Flash Cleave Axe though?" Head Elder Dajian asked. "Since it is bound to him, you won't be able to keep it in your own Spatial Storage." He added.
Hearing that, Lin Mu realized that he had missed this.
"Oh yeah… he won't be able to keep it with him otherwise." Lin Mu understood. "Xiao Yang will need a Spatial storage tool too." He spoke.
Little Shrubby had his own Spatial Storage tool too, which he used to keep all the ingredients as well as any tools he might need for cooking. For him, Lin Mu had simply modified a belt spatial storage tool to be used as a collar.
Most of the time, it couldn't even be seen as it was buried under Little Shrubby's thick fur.
"If you don't have one, I think we can give you one." Head Elder Dajian offered. "Though I'll have to check if we have one that can fit Xiao Yang."
Lin Mu nodded his head, knowing that most Spatial Storage tools might not be suitable for the snake due to his body. He didn't have any limbs or fingers, which made it hard to wear most of the common Spatial Storage tools.
"I would be grateful if you can give us one. It doesn't have to be of a high quality, just enough to store the Flash Cleave Axe." Lin Mu replied. "I intend to make a Spatial Storage tool for them later on anyways." He added.
Since Lin Mu wanted to make a personal one, Head Elder Dajian didn't mind.
"Come on, I'll bring you to the Immortal tool pavilion." Head Elder Dajian spoke.
"And I'll go settle things with the juniors. They don't know we've solved the problem and might still be alarmed." Head Elder Heng added.
~shua~
Head Elder Heng lifted the lock down on the forge and reverted the formation arrays to their normal state.
"Yeah, that is necessary." Head Elder Dajian agreed. "I'll take Daoist Mu Lin then."
"Alright." Lin Mu agreed and left the forge with the elder.
Upon exiting, Lin Mu saw that the surroundings were all empty. The people who had been here had all retreated, likely due to the lock down that the Forge was put under.
~hiss~
Xiao Yang flew alongside them while holding onto the Flash Cleave Axe. Right now they didn't exactly have a way to put it away, so the snake had to carry it along. Though for him, the weight wasn't much, plus he got to see a new location.
He looked around in interest, finding everything rather novel.
Head Elder Dajian noticed this too, finding the snake rather different.
"Daoist Mu Lin… May I ask what kind of beast is Xiao Yang?" He questioned feeling curious.
He had tried to go over the beasts that he knew in his mind but couldn't identify him. Even if the Head Elder might not be an expert on beasts, it didn't mean that he didn't know them. Plus being a weapon forger meant that he had to be familiar with all kinds of materials and their sources, many of which came from beasts.
And yet, his thousands of years of experience were not enough for him to tell what kind of snake Xiao Yang was.
'A snake beast that can use the Yang Dao… I can't remember any.' He thought to himself.
"He's a mutant hybrid." Lin Mu replied. "Xiao Yang was born from the union between a Fire Fang Snake and a Black Water snake." He stated the truth.
"Oh?" this time the Head Elder recognized the names. "But aren't those spirit beasts? Xiao Yang is… far stronger than that." He felt confused.
"There were special circumstances to his birth. And the mother snake had also consumed some powerful resources which led to this." Lin Mu explained enough without giving away too much. "Basically he is a miracle."
"I see… It can be said your fortune is really good." Head Elder Dajian couldn't help but say.
"Indeed. I consider it a blessing to be with them." Lin Mu said while rubbing the head of Xiao Yang who closed his eyes in enjoyment.
"You certainly are a person of many talents. A strong cultivator, and formation master, along with having insights in weapon forging, and you're even a Beast Tamer." Head Elder Dajian praised while a strange look appeared on his face.
Lin Mu didn't notice it at first, but then he heard the Head Elder speak again.
"Say… Do you wish to take a wife… or wives any time soon?" Head Elder Dajian threw a bomb.
~cough~
"Ahem, um sorry?" Lin Mu was taken aback, almost stumbling.
"For someone of your talents, you should have many suitors. Why not have a few wives and a hundred children?" Head Elder Dajian asked.
"Uhhh…" Lin Mu didn't know how to answer that.
Seeing the speechless youth, Head Elder Dajian's grandfather brain ran fast.
"Why not have a wife from our Serene Glass Valley? I'm sure we can find you a suitable match." Head Elder Dajian suddenly offered. "I have fifty nine great grand Daughters and eighteen Granddaughters that are unmarried and should be your match." He said with a wide toothy smile.
Lin Mu felt his mind going blank without even chanting the Severing Heart Sutra.
"Head Elder!" Thankfully, the silence was interrupted by another person. "You're back!"
Lin Mu saw that it was a member of the Chang'an clan.
"We have a guest that I need to show the Immortal Tool Pavilion to." Head Elder Dajian stated.
