54 Fabrics (1/2)

They left the shop and headed for the next house. This house was filled with clothes, furniture, cutlery, and other things that one could need for everyday living.

This was, fortunately, the next shop they had been looking for. As they entered, they looked around with eyes filled with wonder before they moved towards the clothes area.

Xue Wei looked at the fabrics and sighed in praise. They had all kinds of colors and patterns. From embroidery of flowers, phoenixes, dragons, to all kinds of mythical beasts, they had plenty of options.

There was every kind of pattern, and the fabrics were all of the highest quality. Some of them had embroideries made from pure gold and silver; others had the clothes weaved from various kinds of silk. There was even silk produced by Primordial Beasts! That was the silk from the Thunder Spider. A spider that would make a spider net at the top of trees and soak its body in thunder, which made its silk much more durable and carry traces of lightning.

There was also another kind of silk made from a Primordial Beast, but it carried traces of immortality and was as expensive as a treasured weapon, and hence not easily accessible to people.

The Thunder Spider made many nets everywhere in the forests, and coming across it was not too rare, but the silk made from the Immortal Larvae was something completely different.

The Immortal Larvae was a Primordial Beast with traces of immortality. As long as it had energy in its body, it was impossible to kill, and the silk it spun was also impossible to break for ordinary weapons.

This fabric was without a doubt the most expensive of all the fabrics present, but there was also the medium ranked fabrics that had been created from Fierce Beasts, before one went to the low-grade materials made from mortal beasts.

Everything that Xue Wei had been wearing so far had been created from mortal beasts. It was the finest quality that one could get, but it was after all still made from mortal beasts. As a result, it had no effect during battles. It could be penetrated by any weapon, and it held no extra power or abilities.

”This is so expensive!” Luo Zhirou said with shock as she looked at the fabrics in front of her. Although they had just sold hundreds of beast cores, they could not afford clothes made from the Thunder Spider's silk.

The middle-ranked clothes that were made from the silk of Fierce Beasts were more affordable, but even this made Luo Zhirou's and Shen Mu's hearts sting with pain.

”Well, we have been invited to the palace for a banquet,” Shen Mu said as he grit his teeth. ”I will not be happy if I am not looking dashing! This little amount of money, I will earn it again one day.”

With Shen Mu having said this, Luo Zhirou seemed to have agreed as she nodded her head. Xue Wei also agreed that it was a great investment, but his reasoning was a bit different.

”Although we are going to the banquet, these are clothes that will prove beneficial to us in the future,” he said with a slight chuckle.

”Look at this fabric. It is made from the silk of a Blazing Flame Spider. It has an inherited flame within and has some resistance to fire. Even if you were to enter a burning house, your body would not catch on fire, and you would not even be able to feel any discomfort.”

”Although this is useful in battle, I am more interested in the inherited flame. If you insert some of your Qi into the clothes, you can even make the clothes sprout fire out of nothing. Having fireballs appearing in the middle of a fight can be of great use!”

The fabric that Xue Wei held in his hands was red like blood, and on it was golden embroidery of a dragon.

”I will be taking this,” he decided straight away and turned to look for an attendant. Here, the fabric had still not been turned into clothing, as every piece of clothing was tailor-made, but it could be finished within half a day as they had tailors waiting at the back of the store, spending all their time sewing clothes for the customers.

”I want this,” Luo Zhirou had also made a decision on what fabric she wished to wear. It was a blue fabric with a pattern of water lotuses made from a Water Lotus Larvae. It had its name because, although it was a Fierce Beast, it was usually found amongst the water lotuses in the wild.

This fabric had a gentle nature of water, and if one injected energy into the fabric, one could summon water globs just like the fireballs of the fabric Xue Wei had picked.

At the same time, it was very sturdy and had a high amount of defense. When it came to what element was best suited for defense, it was without doubt water and earth. Water was formless, able to both defend and attack, and this fabric had a beautiful balance of both.

”I will take this then,” Shen Mu made a decision too as he took a black fabric. There were no embroideries on it so far, but the material had a beautiful sheen to it, and when he ordered it made he was likely to also ask for embroideries around the edges, just simple borders to make it lively.

This black fabric was the most expensive one of the three. It was made from a Void Larvae, a Fierce Beast that was skilled in hiding in the cracks of the world. It was even capable of splitting the void and teleporting away, which made capturing it incredibly difficult, and finding its silk even more so.

Seeing that all three of them had already found the fabric that they wished to purchase, three attendants came to their aid.

”Please follow me,” all of them said in unison as they each picked a roll of fabric and started walking towards the back of the shop.
