Mushroom Man

Chapter 180 Bone Master, Mushroom Master, Martial Master?
"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Morobi immediately became interested.

She had long harbored resentment towards the high priest.

Now that she has the chance to kill that high priest, she'll definitely lend a hand.

"Why three more days? Didn't you say the sooner the better?"

"Why don't we make our move tonight and launch a night raid on that old man's tent, catching him completely off guard?"

Morobi was eager to try, completely forgetting that she was not in good condition and was injured.

Wu Liang shook his head and said calmly, "The closer we get to this point, the less we need to rush..."

“If we want to conquer the Blackhorn tribe, killing the high priest alone is meaningless.”

"The reason I have to wait three days is that I still need to make some preparations."

"Three days later, Miss Morobi can summon the High Priest in the name of the leader."

"At that time, with the help of my methods, I will make sure that high priest dies without knowing why."

Upon hearing this, Morobi nodded thoughtfully.

She was quite convinced by Wu Liang's methods of change.

It should be noted that Wu Liang is still using the identity of the Third Young Master.

It was obviously fake, but she just couldn't see through it.

This shows just how terrifying the "faceless" killing move truly is.

Keep in mind that this is only a killing move at the level of a Mushroom Master.

If Wu Liang were to one day manage to gather all the immortal mushrooms with ever-changing human faces, he might actually have a chance to recreate some of the ever-changing power of the Formless Celestial Venerable.

"Is there anything else I need to do in these three days?"

Morobi never owes anyone a favor.

Wu Liang intends to help her take the position of leader of Black Horn, so if she does nothing, wouldn't she be benefiting for nothing?

Since it's a collaboration, it should look like a collaboration.

"I need Miss Morobi to provide some insignificant resources in the next few days."

"I plan to refine some mushrooms to increase my chances of dealing with the White Horn Leader later."

Wu Liang thought for a moment, then spoke up.

After hearing this, Morobi gave him a somewhat amused look.

"Oh? Resources?"

"You, a disciple of a holy immortal, would lack resources?"

Wu Liang remained expressionless and casually replied, "My master is busy dealing with the celestial beings and cannot deliver the resources to me for the time being."

“Since Miss Morobi is now the adopted daughter of the Black Horn leader, a few resources should be no problem for her.”

Morobi neither agreed nor disagreed, nor did she know whether she believed it or not.

"I can still mobilize some resources."

"But when the time comes, how will I hand it over to you? You can't possibly sneak into this place every time, can you?"

Wu Liang thought for a moment, then said, "We can have someone deliver it to Old Huangya. I will then have Tie Nu go and receive the resources."

It's no secret that the Third Young Master has a third-level puppet, Iron Slave.

However, Morobi did not expect that the Iron Slave would also fall into this guy's hands.

So it seems that besides the third-level hairy zombie named Bone Master, this guy also has a third-level human puppet in his possession.

This guy is really something, being able to command two third-tier combatants with only a second-tier cultivation level.

This guy might actually be a disciple of some holy immortal...

Morobi gave Wu Liang a deep look, her expression growing increasingly excited.

With a wave of her hand, she secured the resources.

"Alright, I'll take this job."

"By the way, I still don't know your name or how to address you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang glanced at Bone Master without leaving a trace, then smiled faintly and said, "A mere title is nothing to mention."

"However, if Miss Morobi wants someone to call her by name, she can call me... Mushroom Immortal."

Wu Liang naturally dared not reveal his real name, so he casually made up a name, put the Bone Immortal into the black coffin, and left the secret room without looking back.

Morobi watched his departing figure, narrowed her eyes slightly, and murmured to herself.

"Bone Master, Mushroom Master?"

"Interesting. Could this be some new name that the Holy Church has come up with?"

"If that's the case, then if I were to use the Holy Sect's name in the future, could I also call myself... Martial Master?"

……

The sun was rising in the east; it was early morning.

After much effort, Wu Liang finally managed to quietly leave the Black Horn Tribe.

He glanced back at the Blackhorn tribe, his expression indifferent.

"Although there were some setbacks during this night raid on the Blackhorn tribe, it went relatively smoothly overall."

"At the very least, we've managed to get this successor of the Formless lineage onto the boat for now."

"Next, it depends on whether our ship can brave the wind and waves, break through the blockade, and sail to the North Sea."

Wu Liang pondered to himself, quite confident in his abilities.

After all, in his view, with the Black Horn leader dead, only the White Horn leader, who was nearing the end of his life, remained in the entire Eight Horn Mountain.

Under these circumstances, barring any unforeseen circumstances, acquiring a level 4 Mushroom Master is difficult, but not impossible.

Wu Liang already has Iron Slave and Bone Immortal, and now with the addition of Morobi, that makes three third-tier combatants.

If he could find another way to control the mushroom masters of the Black Horn and White Horn tribes right under the White Horn chief's nose...

At that time, we can unite everyone's strength to surround and kill the White Horn leader who is disrespectful to his elders and plays with his daughter-in-law, making him feel betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

If this series of plans succeeds, Wu Liang can't imagine what kind of future that White Horn leader will have. He's not like Abbot Shanren, who can single-handedly fight against hundreds of mushroom masters in Zhaodi Town.

While a level 4 Mushroom Master is strong, it's not ridiculously strong.

Wu Liang has killed fourth-level mushroom masters before.

Don't you know that Master Wen once died at his hands?

Although Master Wen was merely a Taoist hermit who was not skilled in warfare, and although she was already nearing the end of her life due to Abbot Shanren's influence.

But no matter what, they still died at his hands.

Therefore, the fourth job advancement is not scary, and this advantage is in my hands!
Wu Liang withdrew his gaze, his confidence growing even stronger.

Soon, he quietly returned to the White Horn tribe and went back to his tiger-skin tent.

Only then did Wu Liang open the black coffin and release Bone Master once again.

"Senior Bone, were you injured in the battle just now?"

Wu Liang looked concerned and spoke up.

Currently, his greatest fighting force is this Bone Immortal, who by chance fell into his hands.

If anything were to happen to him, it would undoubtedly affect his plan to escape the Western Regions.

Although Morobi is now an ally, she is, after all, a proud and arrogant successor of the Wuxiang lineage, and it is impossible for her to be at his beck and call at all times.

If it weren't for Master Gu keeping him in check, he couldn't guarantee that he could control that belligerent and tyrannical madwoman.

"cough……"

"Your Excellency, I am fine."

"It's just that the body was injured and needs to be recuperated for a few days."

Master Gu coughed and waved his hand.

However, after he finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject and sighed.

"The only troublesome thing is that my dantian is shattered and my true qi cannot be regenerated."

"And I have stored three portions of true energy in the bones of this corpse using the Qi-absorbing mushroom. Basically, each time I use it, it's one less."

"The fight I just had with that girl consumed a portion of my true energy."

"These two remaining portions of true energy may not be enough for Your Excellency to deal with the White Horned Leader..."

Breath-absorbing mushroom.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

No wonder Master Bone was still able to unleash a killing move even with his dantian shattered and unable to generate true qi to power the mushrooms.

It turns out that it was thanks to this airway fungus.

The Qi-absorbing mushroom is at least level 3 and is extremely precious; it is a consumable mushroom.

The sole purpose of this mushroom is to contain and seal away true energy for future use.

However, under normal circumstances, the Qi-absorbing mushroom can only seal about 30% of the true energy, and the mushroom will perish after it is used up.

For most mushroom growers, it's usually a bit of a waste of money, but it can be surprisingly effective in certain situations.

Such as the current situation of Bone Master, whose dantian is broken and unable to generate true qi.

"Only two units of true energy are left...?"

Wu Liang pondered to himself, not believing it at all.

He didn't believe that Master Gu would so easily reveal his secrets.

However, the fact that his dantian was shattered is undeniable.

Without the ability to generate true energy, one would be hampered and powerless to unleash various killing moves or even fungi.

In this state, Bone True Man is indeed difficult to deal with the fourth-level Mushroom Master White Horn Leader.

"Unfortunately, my master never told me how to repair the mushroom master's dantian."

"Does Senior Bone have a way to restore the dantian and regenerate true qi?"

Wu Liang shook his head with some regret, then looked at Master Gu and asked.

Master Gu gave a bitter smile and said, "As far as I know, once the dantian is shattered, it is almost irreversible and there is no way to recover it."

"This is the price to pay for surviving, escaping death, and becoming a zombie, an alien species."

"Once a Mushroom Master becomes a zombie, his dantian will irreversibly become a death zone and gradually shatter."

"There may be a way to restore the dantian in the world, but it's not something a mortal like me can easily find..."

Master Gu was deeply moved, his face showing a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang couldn't help but frown.

really……

You gain something, and you lose something else.

Becoming a zombie may allow one to temporarily escape death, but it will also cause one to lose the most important foundation of a mushroom master... the dantian.

Without the dantian, a person loses the potential to continue to rise.

If Wu Liang wanted to take the path of turning a zombie into a corpse to prolong his life, the first-class dantian that he had painstakingly acquired would undoubtedly be destroyed in an instant.

Whether it will turn into a blood corpse in the future remains to be seen.

Ok?
and many more……

Dove occupying magpie's nest?

Suddenly, Wu Liang seemed to have thought of something.

If he were to become a zombie and then seize another's body, could he regain his dantian?
The original magpie's nest was, after all, just an ordinary mushroom house, and it couldn't plunder lifespan.

Even though Wu Liang had previously usurped the power of the Void, his lifespan was still the same as the remaining lifespan from his previous unrestrained use of the Deceitful Mushroom.

As a mere mortal mushroom house, the fact that the Magpie's Nest could plunder talent and bloodline is already defying the heavens. It is entirely due to the Venerable One's methods that it possesses such great power.

However, if Wu Liang were to possess a Fairy Mushroom House, would it be possible for him to steal lifespans?
