My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 680 Yang Min Searches for His Father (4)

【Parasitic Mushroom】

【Mushroom Essence】

[Rank: Fairy Mushroom]

【Attribute: Space】

[Ability 1 - Warp: Can activate Warp Mushrooms to enter other unlocked Legendary Realms and become part of the story background of that world without feeling abrupt. Can also warp back to the Mushroom World (Usable times: 3/10)]

[Ability 2 - Anchor Point: By consuming a certain amount of Mushroom Power, a spatial anchor point can be left in any world. After activation, one can travel to the spatial anchor point.]

[Ability 3 - Rift: You can consume mushroom energy to create a certain number of spatial rifts.]

[Ability 4 - Parasitism: The Leap Mushroom will continuously absorb the host's blood and spiritual energy to improve its own rank. The more it uses, the more it absorbs. Once the host dies completely, it will directly escape into the void to find the next host, until it ascends to immortality.]

This mushroom serves as proof of entry and exit between the mushroom world and the outside world.

You mastered supreme spatial magic without any effort, but what was the price?

"Grass!"

Yang Genshuo directly cursed!

"What kind of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao storyline is this?!"

No, this is nowhere near as good as Xiao Yan and Yao Lao!
Because the purpose of this [Leap Mushroom] is only to ascend itself, it doesn't care about Yang Zhu's life or death at all. Once Yang Zhu dies, it will continue to look for the next host and continue to absorb!

At this moment, Yang Genshuo suddenly understood all the phenomena that he had not noticed before!
The first time I encountered the Leap Mushroom was because of the white light shining down from the sky.

After they reached the summit, Yang Zhu couldn't resist slipping his hand into the hole. The leap mushroom then extended its filaments, bound itself to the host, and parasitized his body.

"A Celestial-level Mushroom Spirit that binds itself directly without any taming is inherently problematic!"

"At the time, I thought I was just incredibly lucky and got lucky because I was chosen by heaven. Turns out I was being targeted all along."

Moreover, the binding method of the Leap Mushroom is different from other mushroom spirits. The Leap Mushroom directly burrows into the heart, which is equivalent to taking over Yang Zhu's physical body. He is not a martial artist in the Nirvana Realm. If his heart explodes, even a god cannot save him.

For the Warp-shroom's teleportation ability to activate, it needs to plunder the lives of other mushroom sprites.
All these characteristics demonstrate that the Leap Mushroom is not a good thing; it is a kind of mushroom spirit that survives by enticing, absorbing, and parasitizing.
"Actually, there were signs all along."

Yang Genshuo sighed.

But at this moment, he had no way to deal with the Leap Mushroom.

This thing has already burrowed into Yang Zhu's heart and dantian. If it is forcibly driven away, Yang Genshuo believes that Yang Zhu will die a terrible death.

At this moment, Yang Zhu was still enthusiastically trying out his new ability.

swoosh~
With a flick of his finger, a pitch-black spatial rift appeared, revealing nothingness within. Yang Zhu threw in several spells, but no sound was made; it was as if he had been transported into another dimension, and everything vanished.

"Hehe~ Ancestor, this is useful. If I open a spatial rift next to me when the enemy attacks me, he can't attack me. Or I can open a spatial rift behind him, push him in and then close it. Wouldn't that directly eliminate my enemy?"

"This anchor point seems to consume a lot of mushroom energy, so let's not use it for now, but it'll definitely be very useful!"

"Spatial magic is truly amazing! Ancestor? Ancestor, why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing the happy Yang Zhu, Yang Genshuo sighed and did not tell him about being parasitized.

So what if you're parasitized?

Even if he knew, he could only choose to embrace the [Leap Mushroom], because it was Yang Zhu's only way to escape.

"Master Yang, remember this: in the future, do not use the power of the Warp Mushroom unless absolutely necessary."

"Oh, so should I still go to that world to cultivate?"

"Let's go! We have to go. The Warp Mushroom is no longer weak, and all its abilities have been restored. It might be able to lead us to other worlds. Next, let's feed the Warp Mushroom well and then set off."

"Then I'll continue to find mushroom essence to feed it."

"Just find the common mushrooms; right now, all we need is quantity."

"Okay, there are plenty of common mushrooms. I know several gathering places for common mushrooms. With the clone, I can catch them very quickly."

Yang Zhuxing went to catch mushrooms.

After overcoming its weakness, the Leap Mushroom not only allowed Yang to be parasitized, but also demonstrated its full capabilities.

Not only have they gained two extraordinary abilities, [Anchor Point] and [Rift], but their [Jump] ability has also been greatly improved, increasing from 3 times to 10 times. After replenishing their mushroom power, they can fly 10 times, which is very convenient.

Otherwise, Yang Zhu would have to use one skill every time he went out, saving one for when he returned home. In reality, he only had one chance to use the skill, which was very limited.

It's much better now.

Most importantly, Yang Genshuo wanted to see if the current Leap Mushroom could take Yang Zhu to other places, no longer limited to the world of the Gongyang Immortal Clan.

Besides the Leap Mushroom, Yang now has another usable Heavenly-grade mushroom essence—the Fertility Mushroom.

"Theoretically speaking, if used properly, this thing is equivalent to a magic mushroom."

Yang Genshuo originally wanted to breed a small Leap Mushroom directly, but when he saw the true form of the Leap Mushroom—the Parasitic Mushroom—he felt upset.

"However, the Fertility Mushroom also has a [Modification] ability. I wonder if we can modify the Jumping Mushrooms it breeds."

[Modification: When a Fertility Mushroom is breeding a mushroom sprite, it can devour another mushroom sprite, thereby altering its ability to breed mushroom sprites. After using this ability, the devoured mushroom sprite will directly become nutrients for the Fertility Mushroom.]

"Breed a small Leap Mushroom, and then use another Mushroom Spirit to change the small Leap Mushroom's abilities. It's similar to the combination of attributes in the Mythical Beast Palu."

However, it's uncertain whether it's feasible, since this "modification" ability doesn't guarantee that it can be modified into the desired ability.

If the [Warp] ability is removed, the [Warp Mushroom] will lose a powerful ability, which would be a real problem.

"Should we change it or not?"

"If it's not changed, it's at least usable, but it will be constantly drained of blood and spiritual energy, which is like having a permanent negative buff, but it will gain three spatial abilities."

"If we change it, there's a chance it will work, but there's also a chance it will be ruined. If we change both [Leap] and [Anchor Point], those two spatial divine skills, and remove them, but keep [Parasitism], then it will be truly useless."

Mushroom spirits are not intelligent beings and cannot communicate with each other.

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Genshuo finally slammed his hand on the table.

"Screw it! If it's ruined, it's ruined, but we can't let Yang Min get sucked dry by this thing!"

If it is successfully cultivated, Yang Genshuo will definitely give it to Yang Min; there is no doubt about that.

Yang Min's abilities and character are both commendable.

He needs to master spatial magic to find Yang Feng.

The Yang family has no inheritance of spatial magic, so if they want to master it, they must take the evil path.

Now that the decision has been made to transform it, the mushroom spirit that was devoured must make a choice.

"If we can get a powerful ability to replace [Parasitism], then the newly cultivated Jump-shroom will become even more powerful! Surpassing this parasitic Jump-shroom."

"And even if we fail and lose this less important [Rift] ability, we can still use it by replacing it with a more powerful one. At worst, we can give it to someone else instead of Yang Min."

After cursing, Yang Genshuo thought for a while and felt that even with the negative effects, the ability of the Leap Mushroom was still quite worthwhile.

Use it sparingly, don't let it drain you dry.

Which mushroom extract should we use?

Yang Genshuo glanced at the mushroom essence that Yang Min was currently carrying.

【Entangling Mushroom (Common Grade)】, 【Enchanting Mushroom (Earth Grade)】, 【Inspiration Mushroom (Earth Grade)】, 【Running Mushroom (Earth Grade)】.

Besides the Leap Mushroom and the Fertility Mushroom, there are only these four mushroom spirits.

There are a lot of these, a total of 20 Entangling Mushrooms, which can form something like an exoskeleton. They can also be used as food for Warp Mushrooms in critical situations, making them cost-effective mushrooms. All three of their abilities are quite average.

“Pass.”

The Enchantress Mushroom has three abilities: [charm, disguise, and self-destruct].

"Charm is quite useful. Master Yang used this ability to capture mushroom spirits and low-level spirit beasts. But the other two are too weak. It's like having nothing at all."

The other two abilities of the Enchantress were too weak, so it was eliminated.

"As for the Inspiration Mushroom, it cannot be eaten." The Inspiration Mushroom has three main abilities: [Sensing], [Comprehension], and [Body Tempering II].

This is a support mushroom spirit that can actively increase Yang Zhu's spiritual range and ability to see through disguises. It can also increase Yang Zhu's comprehension ability. Most importantly, its [Body Tempering II] skill directly increases the character's stats.

[Body Tempering II: Passively increases Comprehension, Comprehension +10.]

This is a prestigious passive attribute!
As long as this mushroom is inside Yang's body, it can maintain [Comprehension +10], which is quite useful!

Yang Zhu was already extremely talented, and after acquiring the Inspiration Mushroom, his cultivation became even smoother. He could master the spells in the [Light Codex] after just a few repetitions.

It's definitely not edible.

Yang Genshuo even wanted Yang Zhu to catch a few more [Inspiration Mushrooms] so that they could be used by other members of the Yang family.

"This mushroom spirit has all three of its abilities quite good, but it's not suitable for consumption."

As for our old friend, the [Running Mushroom], although it's an advanced version of the Earth-level Mushroom Spirit, its abilities are just so-so. It's good for running around and finding mushroom spirits, but don't expect much else.

However, Yang really likes the [Running Mushroom], probably because his first mushroom spirit was a Running Mushroom. There's a sentimental factor involved.

"This won't work either. None of the four types of mushroom essences I have are suitable for breeding together with the Leap Mushroom."

We need to catch another good one.

Yang Genshuo instructed Yang Zhu to continue searching for mushroom spirits after fully charging the Leap Mushroom.

After thinking for a while, he asked Yang Min for something.

[Divine Skill: Flying Book]

swoosh~
A spatial rift opened beside Yang Zhu, and a stream of purple light flew out and landed in Yang Zhu's hand.

"Ancestor, what is this...?"

Yang Zhu held a stone, not knowing its purpose.

"This is a good thing your uncle found in the legendary land. Take it with you, it will do you good."

[Luck Stone]

[Rank: Earth-level Rare Treasure]

[Attribute: None]

[A stone once played with by a chosen one of destiny gradually absorbed his fortune and became a rare treasure. If it were in his hands, it could unleash tremendous power.]

The person carrying this treasure will receive +10 luck.

Yang Min intended to use this item to find his father, Yang Feng, but for now, it is temporarily lent to Master Yang.

"Ten points of luck might give me a slight edge in terms of chance."

While Yang Zhu continued to roam the mushroom world, Yang Min had a new target.

Yang Min always felt that his mother was hiding something from him.

'Ten years have passed, why has my mother never once thought of going out to look for my father?'

This is not normal.

Even though Yang Qiangwei and Yang Feng often argued back then because of their differing ideals, Yang Feng eventually left the Sky Garden Dynasty and went to the Lingmiao Continent alone.

But their childhood sweetheart bond and unwavering commitment to each other are something that nothing can destroy.

'I will definitely find a way to figure it out.'

'Heavenly Mystery Sect, here I come!'

Yang Min's figure soared through the air, his eyes shining with unwavering determination!

Since Yang Fushuo's network of connections couldn't find any more information about Yang Feng, it would be difficult for him to find anything more useful. But there was one place that could definitely provide him with clues.

Tianji Sect!
This sect is responsible for predicting major events in the world.

The ancestor once said that the Heavenly Mystery Sect possesses a supreme treasure, the Heavenly Mystery Shuttle Token, which allows one to traverse countless worlds.

He wanted to use this thing to try and see if he could enter the world where his father had once stayed and bring Yang Feng back.

At the same time, he also remembered his ancestor's instructions.

"I hope to see Grandpa Yang Qiang at the Heavenly Mystery Sect."

Call ~
Yang Min's figure transformed into a white streak of light, flying straight to the snow-capped mountain where Yang Qiang had become his disciple years ago.

three days later.

Yang Min arrived at the summit of the snow-capped mountain, felt the faint spatial fluctuations in front of him, and knelt down directly.

"Disciple Yang Min requests an audience with the seniors of the Heavenly Mystery Sect!"

After a long while, no one responded.

"Disciple Yang Min requests an audience with the seniors of the Heavenly Mystery Sect!"

Yang Min just kept kneeling like that.
Yang Genshuo sighed after seeing this.

"I wonder if the people from the Heavenly Mystery Sect will let Yang Min in."

This path was conceived by Yang Min, but whether it will succeed is anyone's guess.

The Heavenly Mystery Sect acts unpredictably; we can only wait and see.

Meanwhile, in the City of Light.

Li Minsi has finally completed the creation of a wood-based spiritual land in an open space within the city, which she controlled to condense the mutated Tree of Life.

Furthermore, they utilized the spiritual plant techniques learned by Li Minsi, as well as numerous treasures for assistance.

This extremely special spiritual land has a spiritual energy concentration as high as 1000!

The ground is constantly gushing out spiritual liquid!

A seed of a wild grass was blown by the wind and instantly gained sentience, becoming a king of wild grasses.
Li Minsi held a blood-red rice stalk in both hands and solemnly planted it.

In an instant, the rice ears took root, and the spiritual sap seeping from the ground was absorbed.

A burst of brilliance, and it grows wildly!
"This is a sacred sanctuary created just for you. Grow well here, and we look forward to the day you awaken your sentience."

Li Minsi smiled slightly, then looked up at the sky and said:

“Ancestor, I have planted the Blood Rice Ear. On this spiritual land, it can grow at a speed more than ten times faster, and the fruit can be harvested in 10 years.”

"well-done."

Yang Genshuo was very satisfied with Li Minsi's spiritual plant cultivation skills, which had surpassed the achievements of her father, Li Fan.

This plant was also obtained from a legendary place.

Blood Rice Ear

[A Treasure of Heaven and Earth]

[Rank: Heavenly]

【Attribute: Wood】

The farmers, having been exploited by the post station along the way, guarded this hard-won grain. This single ear of rice, representing the culmination of the hard work of countless farmers, would grow into a fruit that could enhance wood-type attributes. Consuming it directly would grant a large amount of merit and a small amount of luck.

[Planted and growing]

Yang Genshuo needs this fruit that can improve his wood-type aptitude.

"As various wondrous treasures appear, my aptitude will also increase."

With nothing else to do, Yang Genshuo fast-forwarded.
