Crown Prince Feng Shun put forth the task and waited for everyone to respond. After all, they couldn't decide halfheartedly and needed everyone's approval since this was not a simple beast to kill.
"I'm up for it." Lin Mu answered first. "It'll not only give us a good amount of Credits, it'll also allow us to test our capabilities." He added.
"I agree." Monk Hushu answered next. "Though we'll have to be wary since this Chimeric Beast seems to display some intelligence." He cautioned.
"As long as we take the right care, it should be fine." Daoist Chu agreed as well. "Plus, we might just get a good sample from this Chimeric Beast that can help us track the others. My tracking array gets better the more kinds of sample are added to it. The stronger the better." He revealed.
"What should we call it, though? We do need a name for it." Ziran spoke.
"We can just call it a Cyclopean Chimeric beast. That seems to be the one characteristic that stands out the most." Lin Mu suggested.
"Hmm… that works." Crown Prince Feng Shun and Lady Kang didn't mind.
One by one, the others started to agree as well and though that this was a better Chimeric Beast to fight as pared to the multi headed beast that Qiao De had seen far to the north. While that might be a Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal realm chimeric beast, it was bigger than other beasts. The Cyclopean Chimeric Beast also had a more 'humanoid' structure which means that they could predict its movements better than one with an unorthodox body type.
After all, multiple heads meant that it could attack in all directions and would also see every attack ing towards it. pared to that, the Cyclopean Chimeric Beast seemed to have an obvious disadvantage.
Of course, they weren't so naïve as to think that it would be weak just because of that. They simply bet on the fact that they would have a better time adapting to a body style they were used to battling against. Plus, even if things went south, they had a few trump cards they could use to solve it.
"It'll give us a good opportunity to test our capabilities." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated. "If things bee problematic, I can always use the Imperial Might Talisman… though I'd prefer not to use it." His words brought a bit of confidence to the group.
"You might not have to use that either." Crown Princess Shang responded. "What Daoist Mu Lin is making is probably enough to kill it too." She added.
"Oh? What are you making?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked, feeling interested. "And is that also why you're only wearing pants?" he said, raising a single brow.
It was at this moment, Lin Mu realized, one very important fact.
He had entirely forgotten that he had walked out in the same way he was working.
"Ah! I forgot to switch it back!" Lin Mu said, controlling the Silver Mirage Circlet and returning the 'illusion' of clothes.
~SHUA~
His body was covered in black robes again, which seemed to materialize out of thin air.
~chuckle~
Several chuckles could be heard in the room as they saw a rare occasion where Lin Mu would lose his posure.
"You seriously didn't realized you weren't wearing clothes?" Crown Princess Shang asked, feeling interested.
The others didn't actually mind him not wearing a shirt as it was a mon thing for a lot of cultivators, especially body cultivators, to be shirtless. Even other cultivators, such as Monk Hushu often wore clothes that were rather light and didn't fully cover the torso.
But it was still surprising that Lin Mu had switched up his look like this.
"Well, I usually just use my Circlet to maintain my clothes." Lin Mu answered. "So the feeling is the same." He added.
"Wait… So you're not wearing clothes even normally?" Min Ju looked a bit stunned.
"I do, but I just maintain an illusion with the circlet. My clothes get destroyed rather often, so the illusion helps. They got burned away back in the forge, and since I needed to focus a lot, I simply dispelled the illusion." Lin Mu explained.
While the group found it a bit strange, they couldn't find fault in it.
"Anyway." Ziran decided to bring the topic back on the line. "Daoist Mu Lin is making weapon that will help kill the Chimeric Plants. If it can kill that, I'm sure it'll kill a Seventh Tribulation Stage being, too." He explained.
"Really?" Lady Kang hadn't expected Lin Mu to have had that level of success. "It isn't plete." Lin Mu replied. "Plus, it is something that can only be used once." He added.
"An arrow?" Monk Hushu easily guessed.
"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head. "And I need all of your help in pleting it." He requested.
"Our help? I don't know about the others, but I certainly do not have any skill in Weapon Refinement or Forging." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated.
"Likewise. I only do the selling, not the making." Qiao De said as well.
"It is relatively simple. I just need your Qi to power an array. I will handle the rest." Lin Mu said before giving them an explanation of what he had been making.
After all, it was not a simple thing, and they needed to understand the unique conditions of it. But after they had heard it all, they were throughly impressed by Lin Mu's work.
"Marvelous! Absolutely Marvelous!" Qiao De exclaimed. "Daoist Mu Lin, make me a few inferior versions of these arrows and I assure you I'll make you tens of millions of Immortal stones for each!" his inner merchant couldn't help but jump at the opportunity.
"Indeed. Something that can kill a Seventh Tribulation Stage Immortal realm being can almost be classified as a Peak Grade Immortal Weapon." Lady Kang's eyes also shone with great interest.
While they understood the arrow tips were limited, they knew there could be substituted in one or the other way.
