Walker Of The Worlds-Chapter 1950 Shameless Oldies

Lin Mu felt incredibly grateful to the person who had met them at the entrance of the Immortal Tool Pavilion.

'Huuu~ that was… more stressful than the tournament…' Lin Mu thought inwardly.

He hadn't expected that the old man would suddenly be offering something like this. It wasn't the first time Lin Mu was experiencing this, but the Head Elder was utterly shameless with the offer.

"What do you expect from the Head Elder of a clan? Haha, it is normal for oldies like him to think of his clan and to add suitable seedlings to grow it." Xukong laughed at Lin Mu's situation.

"Senior…" Lin Mu could only smile wryly.

Xukong never left a chance to tease him about this. He would even come out of his cultivation just to say this.

All this time, he had been silent and only now did he announce his presence.

'If Head Elder Dajian is an oldie, then doesn't that mean Senior Xukong is the same too?' Lin Mu thought.

"I heard that," Xukong said in a plain tone making Lin Mu gulp.

"Just a stray thought." Lin Mu said and went silent.

"Though… he isn't wrong you know?" Xukong continued.

"Huh?" Lin Mu raised his brows.

"The world of cultivation is harsh and filled with solitude. This can often lead to bad outcomes and one can develop heart demons. Having a few companions and family is important and can help one keep their hearts stable." Xukong explained.

"Besides, it isn't unusual for most cultivators to have hundreds if not thousands of descendants. Many even consider it better to spread your children around many worlds so that your bloodline has the best chance to survive.

After all, one of the common threats one could get from an enemy is the extermination of one's bloodline. While hopefully never happen, it is best to have backup options." Xukong gave a perspective of the Jianghu.

Lin Mu listened to it silently and thought about it.

"Even if you don't marry someone. I think there will be more than enough clans willing to give you their women as concubines. Leaving a few heirs here and there is normal." Xukong continued further.

"Uh… I think I'll wait until I'm older." Lin Mu decided to stop the senior there.

He was now sure that Xukong was like Head Elder Dajian too and would ask him to have offspring as well.

"I'm sure the women Head Elder Dajian is offering are all still older than me." Lin Mu replied. "I'll wait a hundred years or so first." He added.

"Hmm… you are twenty eight, so I guess you do have time," Xukong replied, surprising Lin Mu a bit.

"Twenty eight? Aren't I twenty seven?" Lin Mu raised a brow. "I still have two months or so to go."

"I guess the difference in time made you lose track. You turned Twenty Eight last week." Xukong clarified.

"I didn't… realize." Lin Mu was very surprised.

"Get used to it. As you travel to different worlds and realms, the time discrepancy will make things even worse. After all, different worlds have different lengths of days and years.

A year in some worlds is centuries in others. Most cultivators even ignore counting individual years after a while. At the most, they count their age in centuries." Xukong stated, showing Lin Mu another aspect of being a cultivator.

This was something he should have normally learned on his own, but because of how fast he had progressed to the Immortal realm, Lin Mu hadn't had the chance to experience it. And since he didn't experience it, he didn't come to a realization on his own either.

"Here we are." The Chang'an Clan member who was guarding the Immortal Pavilion finally brought them to its front.

"I can take it from here," head Elder Dajian spoke.

"Of course, Head Elder." The junior cupped his hand and took his leave.

Normally he was supposed to register the names of those who arrived and supervise them. But who was he to do that when the Head Elder himself was here.

There was no need for him to do that, as it would just be overstepping his duties.

"Come, we have to go to the sixth floor." Head Elder Dajian said and entered the pavilion.

The pavilion was about three hundred meters wide and equally as long. It had ten floors, at the top of which Lin Mu saw a large signboard of the Chang'an clan.

The pavilion was located at a rocky outcrop at the side of the peak, and as such could be seen from afar. Thus the sign board stood out, allowing everyone to know who this place belonged to.

Upon entering, Lin Mu saw a mostly empty hall.

There was a large desk in the center, along with a long register on it. But other than that, there was nothing else in this hall.

~shua~

Head Elder Dajian waved his finger at the register, causing it to automatically flip open. The brush that was kept next to it also flew up, and started writing on the register.

"We can go up now." Head Elder said, having skipped most of the formalities with one flick of his finger.

'Guess being the Head Elder does come with a lot of privileges.' Lin Mu thought.

The two went to the second floor, where Lin Mu saw tools that were barely considered Immortal tools. Or rather, they could be considered defective products that were likely made by the juniors of the clan.

On the third floor, Lin Mu saw Low Grade Immortal tools, that left much to be desired. The fourth floor finally had proper low grade Immortal tools, while the fifth floor also had Low Grade Immortal tools but of better quality.

Then they finally reached their destination which was the sixth floor which contained Mid Grade Immortal tools.

"Here we are." Head Elder Dajian said before accessing the formations on this floor. "Give me a moment to find something suitable, after which we can talk about your marriage prospects" He added, unnerving Lin Mu once more.
