Chapter 1951 Spatial Storage Gemstone And Chang'an Clan

The relief that Lin Mu had felt a minute ago was nowhere to be found once he heard the words of the Head Elder.

It was clear that the old man was not going to give up on getting him setting him up just now.

'Guess I'll have to talk to him after this… Though convincing old people isn't easy.' Lin Mu thought to himself. He watched as the Head Elder continued his search for a suitable Spatial Storage tool. Lin Mu looked around as well, observing the thousands of Immortal tools that were kept on the floor.

The Sixth Floor of the Immortal Tool Pavilion had a Mid Grade Immortal tools here and as such the Spatial Storage tools here should be of a decent quality too. 'There's over three hundred of them too…' Unlike the Head Elder, Lin Mu didn't need the formation array to tell how many or what Spatial storage tools were here.

A single look from with Spatial perception was enough for him to identify each and every spatial tool that was located in the hall along with their capacities.

'Hmm, though finding one that is compatible with beasts isn't as easy.' Lin Mu realized as the individual formations on each of the spatial storage tools varied greatly. 'Though I supposed I can determine them according to the physical on each of the spatial storage tools varied greatly. 'Though I supposed I can determine them according to the physical compatibility.' He reckoned.

Lin Mu ignored the bigger Spatial Storage tools like, pouches, bags, bracelet, and necklaces. This only left him with Spatial Storage rings, and a few unconventional ones that he found interesting.

'Huh… a gemstone as a Spatial Storage tool?' Lin Mu saw several of those kept in a show case.

It was a rather strange choice as the gemstone was bare and wasn't set in any ornament which was usually how they were kept. After all, in their current form, it was a bit inconvenient to use them. Losing them would also be easy as they wouldn't be properly equipped. Just holding them wasn't exactly and option either.

'Or perhaps these are for mass storage?' Lin Mu wondered.

Multiple of these Spatial Storage Gemstones could fit in a small pouch, and would be big enough to carry a lot of goods at once. 'Hmm, it would certainly save on the materials and work needed to make a full sized ring or other such tool. Guess it does make sense for that.' Lin Mu understood.

"Ah! Here it is." Just as Lin Mu had finished checking the gemstones out, Head Elder Dajian seemed to have finished finding the right tool too.

Much to Lin Mu's surprise, the Head Elder walked to the same showcase that he had been watching and picked up one of the gemstones.

It was a simple golden garnet and had a smooth round surface.

"This should be compatible for Xiao Yang. It is an forehead gem, that also functions as a Spatial Storage tool." Head Elder Dajian showed. "These are quite popular with the younger women and girls." He added.

"Oh, now I see that." Lin Mu had almost forgotten that women too wore bare gemstones as decorations on their foreheads. He had seen several women wearing them but he hadn't thought that they would be a Spatial Storage tools too.

"Try it on." Head Elder Dajian picked up the gemstone from the small cushion it was kept on and handed it to Lin Mu. "Once he binds to it, the gemstone should automatically attach to him." He explained.

"Here you go, Xiao Yang." Lin Mu let the snake link up with the gemstone.

Since it was his first time using a Spatial Storage tool, it took a bit of practice but a couple minutes later, Xiao Yang quickly managed to bind the gemstone to himself.

~shua~

The gemstone flew up from Lin Mu's hand and stuck onto Xiao Yang's forehead. It attached right above the black spot on his head.

~HUM~

The gemstone faintly glowed and the Flash Cleave Axe disappeared inside it.

"It works!" Xiao Yang said with excitement.

"Try bringing it out again." Lin Mu spoke. "Sense the Flash Cleave Axe inside the gemstone and will it to appear." He instructed.

~shua~

Xiao Yang felt the presence and quickly withdrew the Flash Cleave Axe.

"Perfect." Lin Mu said seeing that the beast had no difficulties in controlling the Spatial Storage Gem. "How much is this, Head elder?" he asked the old man.

"You don't have to pay for it. Consider it a gift from the Chang'an Clan." Head Elder Dajian said with a chuckle.

"Ah, thank you." Lin Mu said while Xiao Yang also responded with a cordial hiss.

"Now then, time to move onto the important matters." Head Elder Dajian said with a hint of excitement.

Seeing his expression Lin Mu quickly understood what the man was meaning.

'Here we go…' Lin Mu knew there was no escaping it easily.

"Let's go to the Main hall. We can talk there and I'll also have some of my great granddaughters and granddaughters to meet you." Head Elder Dajian stated.

"Uhh, about that…" Lin Mu wanted to stop the man but he was much more experienced in matters like this and did not let Lin Mu get in a word.

"Plus, it is time for dinner anyways. You can join us of tonight. Head Elder Heng has hoarded you for quite a few days already." Head Elder Dajian spoke. "It is time for the Chang'an clan to show you some hospitality." He added.

'I guess I may as well eat.' Lin Mu wasn't going to be one to deny a free meal.

That was all it took for him to tolerate the old man's offer. He could listen to him and simply reject at the end. It wasn't like he could do anything without his permission anyways.

"Alright." Lin Mu replied and went along the old man.

A few minutes later they were at the main hall of the Chang'an clan. It was much larger than the Shuijing clan and had many more people sitting in it.

'I have a bad feeling about this…' Lin Mu's premonition turned out to be correct as the Head Elder didn't just invite him for a dinner.

With how large the hall was, even a normal dinner turned into a full blow banquet. Later on Lin Mu learned that this was normal for the Chang'an clan.

They had a lot of people and often had dinner together. At the very least, it happened once a week, depending on whether the Head Elder was free or not. In the main hall, only the major members of the clan were allowed to have dinner, but even then this number went beyond a thousand.

It turned out that Head Elder Dajian had way too many family members than he had told Lin Mu. The great grand daughters and grand daughters that he had mentioned were only the single ones. There were many more that were already married and had descendants of their own.

And this was just the female side. The male side was even bigger, with the Head Elder having about two hundred grandson and over five hundred great grandsons.

And these great grandchildren had kids of their own too.

Lin Mu was lucky that most of these descendent's were not present in the hall and were spread around in the five peak of the Chang'an clan. For the dinner, the Head elder had only invited the older members of the clan and the women he wanted to set up with Lin Mu.

Lin Mu tried to focus on the food which was really good, but would get interrupted by the women one by one. To avoid being rude, he had to make a few customary exchanges and managed to dodge at the start.

But later on the women became clingy too and wouldn't leave. At this point, Lin Mu brought out his trump card. He called out Little Shrubby and let the women gush over him, letting him eat in peace.

The women were busy cooing over Little Shrubby and were feeding him food, allowing him to enjoy as well.

At the end, Lin Mu somehow managed to reject Head Elder Dajian and avoided getting set up.

Head Elder Heng also arrived, 'rescuing' him and whisking him away to safety.

"Phew~ I didn't think it would get this intense." Lin Mu said while relaxing at the Eight Whorl peak.

"The Chang'an clan is one to focus on the growth of the clan through numbers. There's a reason why they've managed to become the head clan in the Serene Glass Valley." Head Elder Heng said while sipping the Pixie Leaf tea.

"It does work though I suppose. With so many descendants, there is bound to be a few talented ones and even the sheer numbers are enough to strengthen the clan." Lin Mu agreed.

"Considering that the total number of members in the Chang'an clan is already at over fifty thousand. Their power has certainly been solidified."
