Chapter 540 - The Cultivation World Is on the Brink of Destruction, and You Guys Are Making Sky Outfit Set?!
At this moment, on Purple Cloud Peak in the Heavenly Academy.
The whole mountaintop seemed to have been engulfed in an extremely grim presence.
It seemed like even the air froze. The whole summit and the sky above it were covered by all kinds of restriction arrays.
Even grandmasters with great cultivation strength couldn’t enter this place without making a noise.
In the mountain was an elegant cottage, and fresh herb fragrance floated in the air in the courtyard.
A white-haired old man looking to be about 50 years old sat inside the courtyard cross-legged. He slowly opened his eyes, but his face was still pale.
“Do you feel better?”
“Thank you…” The old man sitting cross-legged snapped back to reality. “Several years passed, and you have obtained tremendous growth in cultivation strength, Old Academy Master!”
While nodding, Gu Tingyun said, “Tell me what you saw in that place. Even you guys couldn’t handle it?”
“I…” The pale-faced old man was about to speak but stopped; he looked around warily as if he were afraid of being overheard.
“Don’t worry.” Gu Tingyu said, “I’ve protected this place with restriction arrays; no one can eavesdrop on us.”
Immediately, he whispered something into Gu Tingyun’s ear about the Sky Relic that contained many ancient secrets.
Gu Tingyun nodded slightly, and the trigram tokens in his hands dropped onto the desk before him. Right now, he looked even more grim.
“Academy Master, how is it…”
“I used my life energy to make a prophecy for the future of the cultivation world of the Spiritual State; I got Kan, the sixth trigram which means an ominous future…”
“Alas…” He sighed slightly. After making this prediction, he looked even older, as fragile as the last bit of flame on a candle in the wind.
…
Although the attributes and properties of rare outfits were only a bit higher than ordinary high-level outfits, the set bonus were quite eye-catching after the outfit set was completed.
Although they had only a few attributes that could be used in battles, a whole outfit set could form a special wind-style magic spell which could increase the movement speed of the wearers in the cities and non-battle zones by 70%.
At first glance, this magic attribute seemed not so useful. After all, everyone focused on battle-related equipment and things. If this spell could only be used inside cities instead of in battles, what use did it have?
However, the truth was that this magic spell could bring the users great convenience. In the huge cities such as West Coast and Hendon Myre, when the players took a short journey to finish some missions, go to trading halls, or head to the dojo, they wouldn’t ride on carriages for such short trips.
Besides, the carriages weren’t available all the time; and it wasn’t plausible to travel to the carriage station for each trip.
With this bonus magic spell attached to the outfits, the users could mover much faster, making it a great aid in daily life and travel.
On the other hand, such rare outfits obviously looked different from the ordinary ones.
Different from the imposing, heavy, and masculine armor for male players, the female outfits were tight-fitting and smooth-lined, looking grander and prettier than ordinary clothes.
They could even change colors automatically with different subclasses. The outfits for the mistress was black.
While walking on the streets in West Coast, this female priest’s outfit gave her a higher status. The passersby kept looking at her, and the bullet comments flooded the screen in the livestream room.
[Great!]
[So dashing!]
[I’m envious!]
[Rich person! Awesome!]
[Are you walking on wind? You can move so swiftly?!]
“…”
Reading the bullet comments in the livestream room, this woman felt good even though she had emptied her pockets for it.
It seems worthwhile… she thought.
Even though the effects were only a pile of data, for some reason, she thought it was worthwhile.
“Aren’t you going to make a set of this, huh, Sky Outfit Set?” Seeing that her companion was still dressed in the ordinary outfit, she thought it brought down their status.
She urged him to make some new outfits too.
…
As an ancient cultivator who was enjoying the last years of his life, Gu Tingyun didn’t have much to do and thus came to the shop quite early each day.
But lately, he came into the shop quite late. In the last couple of days, he hadn’t come at all.
These days were most crucial since most players were doing awakening missions.
However, today, Gu Tingyun came quite late, and he brought with him a pale-faced, sick-looking old man.
Some new faces came with this old man; the people in the shop never saw them before.
“Old Academy Master… why did you bring us to this place?!” The pale-faced old man looked around the shop in bafflement.
Soon, he saw several familiar figures.
“Ugh? Isn’t that Elder Yu?!”
“That person looks like… the Tang Family Master?!”
The people who came with him talked among themselves in puzzlement.
“Ugh?! What’s happening?! How come there are so many disciples of the Qingqiu Family over there?!”
“People of the Xuanyuan Family are here too?!”
“Isn’t that Xuanyuan Qianjun, the elder of the Xuanyuan Family?!”
“Vice Academy Master Xiao… Old Academy Master… This is…?!”
Vice Academy Master Xiao moved forward curiously.
He saw the Heavenly Academy’s Vice Academy Master Zhang, who was Yue Bai’s master and the most powerful warrior in the Heavenly Academy.
On his screen was a young man wearing a long white robe and sporting long hair; he was a Nen Master, a subclass of male fighters.
At this moment, he wasn’t in a dungeon. While holding a spiritual artifact that looked like a small box, he was tossing pieces of clothes into it.
Sometimes, his face darkened and twitched, and sometimes he laughed smugly.
“Brother Zhang, what are you doing here?!”
“I’m making the Sky Outfit!” Zhang Hao answered casually while putting another piece of clothing into the box.
Soon, the spiritual box disappeared, and it was replaced by an extremely luxurious and elegant long robe.
“Hahahaha!” Zhang Hao laughed and stood up from his seat. His voice was loud enough for everyone in the internet café to hear, “Success! I have the Sky Outfit Set too!”
Then, the Tang Family Master sitting next to him howled, “How come I still need one piece to complete the Sky Outfit Set? How come it’s so difficult?!”
Vice Academy Master Xiao’s pale face fell instantly. The cultivation world is going to die, and you guys are focused on making this so-called Sky Outfit Set?!
“Old Academy Master!” Vice Academy Master Xiao suppressed his fury and turned to Gu Tingyu.
Gu Tingyun stared at Zhang Hao’s screen with his old eyes. “Are these the new outfits in the shop?!”
“Nether Realm Sky Outfit Set?! The attribute and properties…?!”
“Hurry! Show me how to make them!”
The people behind him exchanged a look and then stared at the scene with blank minds. Why are we here?!
Didn’t the Old Academy Master take us here to find a solution?! What’s happening?!
