Having heard of the Second Princess's na and the Peak Grade Immortal weapon she had, Lin Mu was intrigued.
After all, each Peak Grade Immortal weapon had its own weapon spirit and was not easy to handle. And due to having a weapon spirit, the weapon could choose its owner. It was seen in the case of Feng Baxing when he used the Shearing Hurricane Fan and summoned the Great Hurricane Falcon spirit within.
He could only use it due to the special restrictions put on the weapon, and if he went past a certain limit he wouldn't be able to use it anymore.
Feng Baxing's last attempt at summoning the Weapon spirit had basically exceeded that limit and the fan had beco dormant after that. Lin Mu had sensed the change in the fan and knew that it would only awaken when soone strong poured their Qi into it, or if it actually chose a suitable owner.
The choice of an Immortal weapon also depended on the type of weapon it was. Each of the spirits would have its own intelligence as well as a personality.
The Peak grade Immortal weapon would like to have an owner that had a similar or at least compatible personality with it.
For example, a single edged sword that was a peak grade immortal weapon would like soone who had a personality that was straight and staunch, whereas a savage looking peak grade immortal Axe would like an owner that was wild.
There could be exceptions of course, and one such exception could be seen in the case of the Second Princess.
She had been chosen by a Peak Grade immortal weapon which was in the form of claws. It wasn't exactly sothing that would suit her standing and seed rather strange. And yet, the weapon had picked her and not the Crown Prince nor the Emperor.
"Tearing Glass Claws…" Lin Mu muttered, wondering just how they would be.
"Oh yeah, if you intend to go to the south and to the Serene Glass Valley, you might be able to et my second sister too." Crown Prince Feng Shun suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Lin Mu was surprised. "She's there?" he inquired.
"She's married to the current head of the Morning Glory Clan." Crown Prince Feng Shun revealed. "The Morning Glory clan is one of our allies and also supply a lot of Alchemical pills to us."
Lin Mu now understood why the Second Princess was married off to them. Alchemical pills were an important resource for all cultivators, and a clan of alchemists that could supply them in high volu would be of a very high value. As such, making a marriage alliance with them made sense.
"Morning Glory Clan, let see…" Lin Mu browsed the map and quickly found the na. "Oh! It's further south of the Serene Glass Valley."
"Yes, if you wish to, you can pay a visit to the Morning Glory Clan too. Plus, you won't have to travel much as there's a forest between the two powers. You can pick that as a spot to cultivate as well." Crown Prince Feng Shun suggested.
Lin Mu looked at the forest, finding it to be relatively large.
Compared to all the forests that the Crown Prince had suggested to him so far, this was the biggest one.
"Evergreen Pillars Forest," Lin Mu read the na. "Looks like I'll be heading here." He stated.
"Good, I think you'll like the place, it's beautiful. While there are strong beasts there too, I don't think you will have any issues, haha." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
Having picked out the forest, Lin Mu now had other things to attend to.
"When are you going to leave?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.
"Maybe in a couple of days? I'll sort sothing things out here before leaving." Lin Mu answered.
"Alright." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Also, if you are going to be staying at the forest for a year, just head to Morning Glory Clan at the end. I'll co pick you up for the expedition." He suggested.
"That'll work." Lin Mu was pleased with that option. "I'll get going then." He said before leaving the Mansion.
Lin Mu's companions had already gone to rest and he would et them for the last ti before leaving.
For now though, Lin Mu wanted nothing more than to return to the Hundred Fruits Pavilion. After all, he hadn't talked to the Saintess in a while after she had helped him out. Not to ntion, the twin snakes were also waiting for him.
All other things would co after that.
As such, Lin Mu wasted no ti and made his way to the Hundred Fruits Pavilion. On his way there, he sensed the changes in the city.
'The number of people has decreased by quite a bit.' Lin Mu imdiately noticed.
The immortal Qi fluctuations that filled the city had reduced considerably, and the hustle and bustle had llowed out too. He passed by the market on his way and found the streets to be empty enough for a few carts to pass.
'Last ti I was here, it was hard to walk through the crowd and now it's this empty… The visitors really left fast.' Lin Mu noted as he continued to speed through the sky.
He didn't know how long the permission to fly would last and wanted to get to the courtyard before that.
And about twenty minutes later, he landed in front of the courtyard's gates.
~huu~
Lin Mu took a deep breath and walked in, the gates opening up automatically for him.
There, his eyes imdiately searched for the Saintess and the twins.
"There they are…" And sure enough, Lin Mu found them in exactly the place he had hoped them to be.
The Saintess was sitting on her iconic condensed cloud furniture while the twins seed to be practicing their skills in front of her.
Upon seeing them, a sense of peace filled Lin Mu's mind and all his anxiety and stress were washed away.
"Saintess, Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang!" Lin Mu called out.
