Mushroom Man

Chapter 100: Gathering together to inherit, the abbot catches the turtle! (Please subscribe to the latest update)
"Special Envoy, what is this beast that looks like neither a human nor a rabbit?"

At this moment, Chief Wu's gaze fell on Yan Zhaodi.

Such a strange appearance instantly piqued his interest.

"It's just a mushroom beast named 'Er'."

"I have used a little trick to take it as my slave."

Wu Liang slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and spoke in a calm tone.

Just at this time, Yan Zhaodi completed the refining of blood rage mushrooms and blood-sucking mushrooms.

She skipped and handed the mushrooms to Wu Liang, then glared at Chief Wu fiercely.

Obviously, Chief Wu's word "beast" made her quite unhappy.

When Chief Wu saw that Yan Zhaodi, a mushroom beast, could actually refine mushrooms and seemed to understand human language, he couldn't help but look surprised.

As a fourth-rank mushroom master who started out as a slave, what kind of mushroom beasts, big and small, hasn't he seen?

But he had never seen such an intelligent mushroom beast that could refine mushrooms.

Looking across the four continents, mushroom beasts like these are probably extremely rare.

"Congratulations to the Special Envoy for being able to subdue such a rare and exotic beast."

"It really opened my eyes..."

Chief Wu had a look of envy on his face and spoke respectfully, flattering Wu Liang.

"That's all. This kind of beast can only survive in the Nine-Story Bronze Pagoda. It's part of the Wuxiang inheritance."

"Once they leave this place, the beasts will disappear."

Wu Liang calmly put away the two mushrooms and then shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the envy on Chief Wu’s face instantly disappeared.

A slave beast that cannot be taken away is useless no matter how strange it is.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the third floor."

"There are quite a few of these beasts out there. If Chief Wu is interested, you can catch a few and play with them."

Wu Liang patted Yan Zhaodi, used the Heart Voice Mushroom to order her to guard this place, and then walked towards the third floor.

When Chief Wu heard that they were going to the third floor, he hurriedly followed.

They walked up the spiral staircase and soon arrived at the door to the third floor.

The three-layer door was covered with cracks, revealing a hideous gap.

Obviously, this was caused by the previous Wuxiang will forcibly breaking the door.

"hiss……"

When Chief Wu saw the cracks on the door, he couldn't help but gasp.

They had previously attacked the nine-story bronze tower and knew how difficult it was to create such a crack.

At that time, hundreds of mushroom masters, plus three fourth-level mushroom masters and one fifth-level mushroom master, were able to barely open the bronze door.

The door in front of him was obviously broken down by someone.

Chief Wu could even imagine how horrific the methods of the person who destroyed the door would be.

"Before you arrived, I went in to take a look and accidentally broke the door."

"You and I will just go in..."

Wu Liang remained calm, neither blushing nor nervous, and lightly took the credit for Wuxiang Will on himself.

As he spoke, he squeezed in through the gap.

When Chief Wu heard this, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.

The only one who can set foot here now is the special envoy.

If he hadn't forced the goal, who else could it have been?

It can't be that Wuxiang Yizhi is stealing from his own company and smashing his own door for no reason, right?

Chief Wu followed Wu Liang happily, feeling more confident.

With the special envoy here today, he is determined to obtain this Wuxiang inheritance!
After a while...

Wu Liang and Chief Wu walked through the bronze door and entered the third floor.

Hundreds of lifelike stone statues come into view.

Wu Liang revisited his old place and felt familiar with the route.

His eyes immediately fell on the old beast that had once made him lose face.

"Clan Leader Wu, the highest level of the Devil Beasts here is only rank four. Even a rank four Devil Beast is only as powerful as a rank three Mushroom Master."

"Such a weak little fellow, Clan Leader Wu shouldn't need my help, right?"

Wu Liang looked indifferent and turned to look at Chief Wu.

Chief Wu laughed heartily and said, "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you are certainly underestimating me."

"Why would you intervene against a mere group of rank three beasts?"

"If I can't even deal with them, what's the point of seeking immortal fate? I might as well go home and have a shower and sleep."

really……

If you can't even deal with these guys, then I, who made a mistake, should go back to bed.

A thought flashed through Wu Liang's mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

He was inspired and was about to touch the stone statue of the old beast to wake it up.

But at this moment...

"Ok?"

Wu Liang suddenly uttered a doubtful sound, as if he had discovered something.

There was a pile of rubble scattered on the ground not far from the stone statue of the old beast.

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, there should have been two stone statues of evil beasts here.

Although he couldn't quite remember whether the two beast stone statues were old or young, male or female, he was certain that the place was not empty.

Wu Liang himself had only fought two black beasts, and he had not yet fought one of them.

But there happened to be two piles of rubble here, which were obviously the traces left by someone who awakened the beast and broke the stone statue.

"The Formless Will let the 'rat' in?"

A cold light flashed in Wu Liang's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

The formless will can open a back door for him, and naturally it can also send others here.

Wu Liang had anticipated this, but he didn't expect Wuxiang Yizhi to be so anxious.

"I don't know which 'rat' Wuxiang Will let in..."

"But I think it shouldn't be Abbot Shanren."

"If it were Abbot Shanren, there's no way he would have just broken two stone statues."

"With his ability, once he enters this place, I'm afraid he can completely penetrate it."

"Therefore, the 'rat' that was released shouldn't be very strong."

Several people's faces flashed through Wu Liang's mind, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Special Envoy?"

"What's wrong with you?"

"Is there something wrong with this place?"

Seeing Wu Liang standing there, not moving for a long time, as if thinking about something, Chief Wu couldn't help but ask.

Wu Liang came back to his senses and said calmly, "It's nothing, I just remembered some trivial things."

After he finished speaking, he placed his palm on the stone statue of the old beast.

"Crack!"

The stone statue shook violently and cracks spread rapidly.

"Chief Wu, let me see your abilities."

Wu Liang let go of his hand and walked to the side leisurely.

Chief Wu was cheered up, knowing that this was a good opportunity to show off in front of the special envoy.

Without hesitation, he activated the Ghost Fire Mushroom and the Yinfeng Mushroom.

In an instant, the wind howled and the ghost fire surged, ready to explode.

"Boom!"

The stone statue suddenly shattered and dust flew everywhere.

The old beast walked out of the smoke and dust and saw Wu Liang at a glance.

Its eyes lit up, and it was about to transform into the appearance of Abbot Shanren again.

However, this time, the situation was different. Before the old beast could transform, or even open its mouth to shout, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp fire came towards it!
"boom!"

The old beast's attention was all on Wu Liang, and he was thinking about how to follow Wuxiang's will and run away to die deliberately.

It never expected that there was a fourth-level mushroom master here.

It was caught off guard and was hit by the ghost fire.

The ghost fire that burns souls fell on the old beast, causing it to suffer excruciating pain.

"Ahhh!"

The old beast screamed miserably, but it was not burned to death by the ghost fire like the eighteen bronze men.

It subconsciously covered its head and ran away, trying to escape the coverage of the will-o'-the-wisp.

In this situation, no one would have thought that this was a fourth-level mushroom beast.

"As the special envoy said, this beast, although it has a fourth-level cultivation, is only as strong as a third-level mushroom master. It is truly weak..."

Chief Wu snorted coldly, and his figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

The old beast had just escaped from the range of the will-o'-the-wisp fire and had no time to catch its breath when it felt a cold breath on the back of its neck.

"Where do you want to go, little guy?"

The old beast was horrified and was about to beg for mercy.

But the next moment...

"Shh!"

The old beast had no power to resist, and its head fell off and rolled to the ground.

Chief Wu slowly appeared, holding a ferocious axe.

"As expected of Chief Wu..."

"I was previously completely defenseless against the old monster, but now, I can't even withstand two attacks from him."

"It seems that there is still a big gap between me and these three family heads who have been immersed in the fourth realm for many years..."

Wu Liang witnessed the whole process, his mind churning with thoughts.

In fact, according to common sense, even if the strength of the fourth-level evil beast is only equivalent to that of the third-level mushroom master, it should not be defeated so miserably.

After all, the gap between the fourth-level mushroom master and the third-level mushroom master is not insurmountable.

Looking across the entire mushroom world, there are many incredibly talented people who can defeat fourth-level mushroom masters with only third-level cultivation.

Even if a fifth-level mushroom master does not have any modified fungi on him, it is not impossible that he would be killed by a first-level mushroom master's sneak attack when he is caught off guard.

The mushroom master has not yet become an immortal, and even if he reaches the fifth level, he is still a mortal.

Therefore, cultivation is not an absolute standard for measuring a mushroom master's strength.

For a mushroom chef, talent is the key.

Although Chief Wu is not a man of extraordinary talent, he has many means and a profound background.

The inheritance of the fourth-level slave path and the fourth-level soul path, plus the resources of the entire Wu family for him to suck blood, made him a first-class among the fourth-level mushroom masters.

In this situation, killing a beast that is not good at killing is naturally a piece of cake.

"Mr. Special Envoy, I have accomplished your mission."

Chief Wu put away the ghost axe mushroom, nodded and bowed, grinning.

"Very good, it seems that a mere beast can't do anything to Chief Wu."

"It's just right. Killing them one by one is too troublesome. Next, Chief Wu will finish off all these little guys in one go."

Wu Liang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and while strolling in the garden, he touched the stone statue again.

But this time, he awakened seven evil beasts!

"Eh?"

"Special Envoy, wait a minute..."

Upon hearing this, Chief Wu's expression changed slightly.

He opened his mouth quickly, wanting to say something.

However, before he could finish his words, the stone statue of the seven-headed beast suddenly exploded.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose up and gravel flew everywhere.

In the smoke and dust, seven pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly opened and stared at Chief Wu!

……

the other side.

Outside the nine-story bronze tower.

"Fang, Abbot?"

"Why are you here..."

The monks who were in charge of guarding the bronze door spoke haltingly and tremblingly.

Abbot Shanren was seen standing with his hands behind his back, staring at the nine-story bronze pagoda.

Patriarch Wang, Patriarch Yan, Yan Wuxin and others followed him like quails.

If the mushroom masters from the Yan and Wang families saw such a weird scene, they would be shocked.

"Is my son Sekong in there?"

Abbot Shanren glanced at the monks with a cold tone.

When the monks saw the abbot's appearance, they thought that Sekong had made another big mistake, which made the abbot furious.

They were afraid that the abbot would vent his anger on them, so they rushed to speak.

"Return to the abbot. Senior Brother Sekong is in there now. He should be supervising those Taoist mushroom refiners in refining mushrooms."

"I heard that Senior Brother Sekong asked them to refine the Thousand Forms Mushroom today, no matter what."

"There has been no movement so far. I guess he's still worrying about it inside."

"It's good that you're still inside." Abbot Shanren sneered when he heard this.

He glanced at Yan Wuxin and then said, "I heard that you gave my son Sekong a mushroom recipe?"

Yan Wuxin's breathing stagnated and he lowered his head slightly.

"Reporting to the abbot, this junior has gained the favor of the Formless Will, and the various mushrooms I derived are now useless."

"So I thought of giving it to Master Sekong, to openly strengthen the relationship between the Yan family and the Songzi Temple..."

Yan Wuxin concealed nothing, slightly embellished his plan, and revealed it all.

Upon hearing this, Abbot Shanren looked at Patriarch Yan meaningfully.

"Chief Yan, your 'darling son' is much smarter than my son Sekong."

"You've really taught me well. You even had the guts to plot against my fertility temple."

Clan leader Yan had cold sweat on his forehead, but he pretended to be calm and turned around to scold Yan Wuxin.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"

"Who gave you the courage to show off your skills in front of the abbot?"

After Patriarch Yan finished speaking, he immediately looked at the abbot with a wry smile.

"Abbot, please understand. This matter was not instructed by me. It was my own decision. It has nothing to do with the Yan family."

"My wicked son lost his mother when he was young. I have neglected to discipline him and spoiled him."

"That's why he developed this kind of ignorant and naive personality."

"Don't worry, Abbot. When I return, I will teach him a lesson and make him understand that even if he plots against someone else, he can never plot against you..."

After hearing what Patriarch Yan said, he was extremely servile and almost kowtowing to apologize.

Seeing this scene, the king's eyes flashed with suspicion.

He thought he was already wary enough of the abbot, but he didn't expect that Patriarch Yan was even more afraid than him!
The abbot is indeed scary, but he wouldn't let a fourth-level mushroom master humble himself like that, right?

At the same time, Yan Wuxin had a complicated expression when he heard his father's words.

He understood that his father's move was to force the Yan family to distance themselves from him and let him bear the blame for offending the abbot alone.

In this way, even if the abbot blames him, he will probably only blame him and not the Yan family.

And because he was favored by the Wuxiang Will, even if he offended the abbot, it would not be a big deal in the short term.

Yan Wuxin knew it very well, but he still felt a little sad.

"Ha ha……"

Abbot Shanren took in the expressions of the two men and sneered.

He said no more and stepped into the nine-story bronze tower.

"Okay, my son 'Sekong' is still waiting inside."

"I can't wait to get close to my son and play the game of catching the turtle in the jar..."
