Chapter 156 The Queen's Wardrobe
Zhao Mu could not dissuade the empress and could only agree reluctantly.
Taking out the airship, Zhao Mu helped the empress onto the airship and began their journey.
The empress wrapped herself in a coat and curled up in the cabin of the airship. No one knew what she was thinking.
Flying at lightning speed, Zhao Mu flew towards the southeast for thousands of miles. When it was close to evening, he encountered a rather large city. He then stopped and planned to enter the city to buy some supplies and ask for directions.
He only had the map of the Demon Forest and was not familiar with the territory of the human race. He also did not know the exact location of the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
However, the Sword Immortal Pavilion was one of the five sacred lands of the human race. Even ordinary people would have heard of it and it should not be difficult to obtain information.
"Empress, let's enter the city to rest. I see that you are tired."
The empress only nodded and did not say anything.
Zhao Mu thought that she was being cold and did not mind. He flew the airship directly into the city and landed in front of the most prosperous restaurant in the city.
"Welcome, Immortal Master!"
Although it was not a rare thing for a cultivator to come to a mortal city, the owner of the restaurant still eagerly ran out with a group of waiters to welcome him.
Zhao Mu threw a bag of gold to the innkeeper and instructed, "I want your best guest room. Prepare some food and warm two pots of wine."
"Alright, Immortal Master, please take a seat. I will go and arrange everything for you."
Zhao Mu nodded and was about to invite the empress to enter the restaurant when he saw that she was still sitting on the airship. Her eyebrows were knitted and she seemed to be in pain.
Zhao Mu quickly went forward to check on her. When he touched her hand, he knew that something was wrong.
It was so cold.
It was as if there was no temperature at all.
Zhao Mu immediately activated his spiritual power and wrapped a strand of heat around the empress's body. Only then did he see her expression become slightly better.
Only then did Zhao Mu realize that the empress was not sick. She was simply cold.
The airship did not have any protective measures. After all, cultivators were not afraid of the cold wind at high altitudes. However, the empress had no strength at all. After flying with him for an entire day, her entire body was probably numb from the cold.
Fortunately, her physical body was quite tough. If she was an ordinary person, she would have been frozen into a block of ice long ago.
"It's a mistake, a mistake. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will build a roof over the airship tomorrow. I guarantee that you won't get cold again."
Zhao Mu said awkwardly.
The empress looked up at Zhao Mu with difficulty, but she didn't blame him. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "It's not your fault. I'm useless and have implicated you."
"Empress, you're exaggerating."
When the empress's body temperature returned to normal, Zhao Mu helped her up and walked into the restaurant.
At this time, the manager had already arranged everything. He eagerly brought the two of them to the guest room on the top floor of the restaurant.
The environment was not bad and the space was quite spacious. There was already food on the table and it smelled quite good.
"Please enjoy your meal, Immortal Master. I won't disturb you any further. Just shout if you have any instructions. I'll be at your service at any time."
"Go."
After the manager left, Zhao Mu closed the doors and windows. Then, he casually threw out a pile of spirit stones and scattered them in the corners of the room. In the blink of an eye, he had set up several layers of formations.
At the same time, Zhao Mu slightly emitted the power of the scorching sun to make the room warm and comfortable.
Unexpectedly, the empress started coughing violently.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't think it through."
Given the empress's current physical condition, she definitely wouldn't be able to withstand this sudden change in temperature. She might even catch a cold.
The empress looked rather speechless.
"I didn't expect that a dignified Tribulation Stage expert like me would actually catch a cold because of a change in temperature."
With that, she took off a storage ring on her hand and handed it to Zhao Mu. "I can't use my spiritual power right now, so I can't open this storage ring. Help me open it and take out a few sets of clothes and pills."
"Alright."
Zhao Mu took the storage ring and immediately injected his spiritual power into it.
The space in the storage ring wasn't big, but it was filled with a dazzling array of clothes and dresses. There were also all kinds of hairpins, accessories, and rouge. They were all things that girls would use.
Even though the empress could already be considered as a fairy without any makeup, no girl would refuse to dress herself up to look better.
Zhao Mu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Good heavens, there were countless of different styles of dresses. There were even some skimpy little dresses that the empress would probably wear in private.
Tsk tsk.
Her taste was pretty good.
The empress seemed to have sensed that Zhao Mu was looking at something and immediately said, "Don't look and touch."
Zhao Mu was caught red-handed and smiled awkwardly. He then followed the empress's instructions and took out a few sets of clothes that could resist the cold. They were all high-quality treasures. They didn't look thick, but they were definitely good at keeping people warm.
However, Zhao Mu said, "Empress, you can't use your spiritual power right now. No matter how useful these treasures are, they won't be effective on your body. You have to wear more and wear thicker clothes."
The empress thought about it and agreed. "Then help me take out a few more sets."
Zhao Mu nodded.
In addition, according to the empress's instructions, he took out a few boxes that contained spiritual medicine for her.
After taking the pills, the empress began to meditate and recuperate.
Zhao Mu went out to find the shopkeeper and asked him for information.
Soon, Zhao Mu obtained some useful information.
This place was called the Chiye Kingdom. This city was the capital of the Chiye Kingdom. The entire Chiye Kingdom belonged to a cultivation faction called the Earth Spirit Sect.
Zhao Mu didn't care about a small sect that didn't make the cut. However, what was interesting was that the sect master of the Earth Spirit Sect was actually an outer sect disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion.
If he wanted to know more about the Sword Immortal Pavilion, he was the most suitable person.
After Zhao Mu found out the exact location of the Earth Spirit Sect from the shopkeeper, he immediately set off.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Mu saw the entrance of the Earth Spirit sect.
The surroundings were picturesque with verdant hills and limpid waters. It could be considered a place with good feng shui.
Of course, it was nothing compared to the Saint Prime Devil Sect.
With a sweep of his soul, Zhao Mu discovered that there were around a hundred cultivators in the Earth Spirit sect.
Among them, the strongest was only at the early Nascent Soul stage.
There were only a few Core Formation cultivators.
The rest were at Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment.
For a sect, it was indeed a little shabby.
"Where is the sect master of the Earth Spirit Sect?"
Zhao Mu was too lazy to enter. He stood outside the mountain gate and shouted.
As soon as the presence of a Soul Transformation expert was revealed, the cultivators of the Earth Spirit sect paled in fright.
Not long after, a Nascent Soul cultivator with a broad sword on his back arrived.
When that person saw Zhao Mu, he didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly bowed and greeted, "I am the sect master of the Earth Spirit Sect, Wan Yan. Greetings, senior. May I know what instructions you have for me?"
"I heard that your cultivation came from the Sword Immortal Pavilion. I believe you should have a good understanding of the Sword Immortal Pavilion. I have been cultivating in seclusion for many years. Now that I have come out of seclusion, I want to find a sect to train in. I am interested in the Sword Immortal Pavilion. I want you to tell me everything you know about the Sword Immortal Pavilion."
After saying that, Zhao Mu directly threw a bag of Spirit Stones over as the fee for buying the information.
