After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"Boss, what material is this cloth made of?"
This was the first time Lin Xue had ever seen such a soft fabric. She didn't know what kind of fabric it was, but it looked a bit like soft gauze, so she could only ask.
"This is silk made from the silk spun by celestial silkworms. It costs 100 low-grade spirit stones per foot!"
The boss didn't waste any words, directly stating the product category and then the price.
"Boss, what's the use of this silkworm silk?"
Lin Xue held the silk in her hand and compared it. It felt quite comfortable to the touch, and although it was cool, it didn't make her feel cold.
"Silk can insulate against both cold and heat. Clothes made from it have a built-in temperature-regulating effect. Whether you are in a cold or hot place, you can feel the most comfortable sensation!"
"Moreover, this Heavenly Silkworm Silk is made from the silk spun by Heavenly Silkworms raised by the Southern Ming Clan. It is impervious to water and fire, and its defensive properties are very strong. Ordinary magical artifacts can hardly break through its defenses!"
Seeing that Lin Xue was not deterred by the price of 100 low-grade spirit stones, the shopkeeper explained in more detail.
"Boss, do you have any ready-made clothes here?"
Lin Xue knew that the methods for sewing a robe and sewing ordinary clothes were different. If she tried to sew a robe using the same methods as for ordinary clothes, the ordinary silk threads would probably burst as soon as she put it on.
The person wearing the clothes will be the one who makes a fool of themselves.
"I don't have any ready-made clothes here, but if you two need them, I can introduce you to a tailor!"
"His skill in sewing robes is unparalleled in the cultivation world; everyone in our Green Mountain City knows his name!"
I believe the boss knows the tailor Lin Xue, but what he said afterward is definitely nonsense. If she were really that famous, who would take on such a small business?
However, both of them kept the matter to themselves, and Lin Xue directly asked the boss to recommend the tailor to her.
No sooner had Lin Xue finished speaking than a burly man, eight feet tall, walked over to her, his fingers almost as thick as Lin Xue's wrist.
"Hello, I'm the tailor the boss mentioned. How many robes do you need made, and what size are they for?"
"If you need to sew a robe that can be resized, you'll need to buy two or more times the amount of fabric, and the processing fees are also quite expensive!"
When the big man rushed over, Lin Xue and Chu Xuan were both visibly startled.
In their minds, the tailor was either a woman or a thin male cultivator.
I wonder what it would be like to see such a burly man, eight feet tall and eight feet wide, sewing clothes.
"This one~ ah!"
Lin Xue opened her mouth and immediately bit her cheek, which shows just how shocked she was.
"Young lady, don't be surprised. Who says only old women can be tailors!"
Seeing Lin Xue's behavior, the man knew what she was thinking, but he didn't care.
"Uncle Tailor, I don't have that many spirit stones right now. Could you help me calculate how much material is needed to make ordinary robes for two adult men?"
"His build is about the same as my senior brother's, although my master is a bit taller!"
It would be fine if she didn't spend spirit stones, but once she did, Lin Xue felt she was running out of money.
No wonder his master was so keen on earning spirit stones. Sure enough, when it came to robes and magical artifacts, the spirit stones just flowed away like water.
Moreover, despite the boss's boasting, this silkworm silk is actually just the most common material for robes in the cultivation world.
"It's just adding a little length to the clothes, right? That's easy!"
"Brother, how about we charge 2,000 low-grade spirit stones for the two robes, including the labor and material costs?"
The tailor's eyes seemed to be inside Lin Xue's pockets, emptying them in an instant.
However, one has to buy a robe sooner or later. The disciple robes issued by the sect only have one outer robe, while the inner robes are made of ordinary cloth.
The robes he made himself were entirely made of silkworm silk, inside and out.
The feeling of wearing them and the function they serve are also different.
"Junior sister, you should make it for yourself first, I'm not in a hurry!"
Upon hearing that Lin Xue wanted to make it for him and his master first, Chu Xuan immediately spoke up.
How can this be?
If Master finds out, won't he accuse him of bullying his junior sister?
"It's alright, I'll make one for Master and my senior brother first. If you like it, I'll make one for myself later!"
“You two have almost reached the end of your growth spurts, and you won’t grow more than a few centimeters. But I’m different. I’m still growing, so the robes I’m making will definitely be the kind that can be changed size at will!”
"So senior brother, you don't need to be so polite with me. My clothes will definitely be more expensive than yours!"
It was precisely because of the care these two, master and apprentice, had given her that Lin Xue was willing to treat them well.
On ordinary days, her master and senior brothers would send her almost all the good things they had.
Lin Xue also continued to uphold the original owner's wishes, being selfish and self-serving.
However, given her own ability, Lin Xue still maintains that everyone has a heart, and if someone is kind to her, she shouldn't be too stingy.
Furthermore, in Lin Xue's mind, selfishness means doing anything that benefits oneself.
Taking care of those who are good to you is also within the realm of selfishness.
In the end, Chu Xuan couldn't persuade Lin Xue otherwise.
Lin Xue paid half of the spirit stones as a deposit, and then sat in front of the stall owner's stall waiting for the uncle to make the robe.
The tailor didn't go far. He found a quiet place, took out the tools he needed from his storage bag, and began to make the garment with practiced ease.
Lin Xue watched from afar and discovered that the tailor's skills were actually quite good.
The silk thread he used was not the kind that could be seen in the mortal world, and during the sewing process, he would occasionally infuse it with magic to outline the formation.
Although neither of Lin Xue's two outfits needed to change size, the other party continued to infuse them with magic and sew up array patterns.
It's easy to imagine that the craftsmanship of this robe is truly extraordinary, far beyond what ordinary people can comprehend.
At this moment, Lin Xue was quite impressed. No wonder they charged so many spirit stones. Making clothes wasn't just physically demanding; it also required mental effort and a considerable amount of spiritual energy!
"Senior brother, you wait here, I'll go check out the stalls up ahead!"
After watching for a while, Lin Xue lost interest.
She never liked things like female factory workers; she was just curious before, but now she's starting to understand the basics. However, without a proper teacher, watching is pointless; she can't really learn anything from observing.
That's why the tailor makes them so openly; he's not afraid of anyone stealing his techniques.
"good!"
Chu Xuan moved to a different position to make sure he could see his junior sister at all times before he felt at ease.
