Mushroom Man

Chapter 184 Relic Mushroom, Rich Woman Mushroom (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Take less? !
Twenty thousand silver coins!!!

Upon hearing Lady Red's words, both young masters' faces twitched uncontrollably.

Has their third brother gone mad?
Asking for the moon like an eagle isn't that outrageous, is it?
Ten thousand silver coins can buy a level 4 mushroom.

You should know that their old man, the White Horn Leader, could count the number of fourth-tier mushrooms on two hands.

Even a fourth-level mushroom master would have to grit their teeth and suffer a huge loss if they had to spend 20,000 silver coins in one go.

My third brother is really daring!
They are currently only young masters; they haven't yet taken the position of leader.

Of course, even if they were to become the leader, they would never spend 20,000 silver coins to buy a three-turn hairy zombie.

Ten thousand taels of silver might be something I could borrow from here and there, and if I gritted my teeth, I could just buy it.

With 20,000 silver coins, they could beg and plead with a fourth-level rogue cultivator for help, so why would they need any Mao Jiang?

Even if this hairy zombie is extraordinary, possessing the peak of the third stage, it's still not worth 20,000 silver coins.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"Sister-in-law, you know that no matter how wealthy I am, I can't afford to squander money like this."

"If I could easily pull out 20,000 taels of silver, I wouldn't need to buy a three-turn hairy zombie."

Without a second thought, the young master waved his hands repeatedly.

Seeing this, the second young master remained silent, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, his third brother's exorbitant demands were actually a good thing.

After all, his wealth was not as great as his elder brother's.

Trying to compete with the eldest brother for the Mao Jiang is basically a losing proposition.

As long as the eldest brother can't afford to buy a hamster, then it's a good thing for him.

"Oops~"

"I haven't finished speaking, elder brother and second brother, please don't be in such a hurry~"

Seeing the two of them like this, Lady Red couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

“My husband said that if we can’t come up with 20,000 taels of silver, we can use something else instead.”

Something else?

The eldest son raised an eyebrow and said, "What does Third Brother want? Tell me quickly, Sister-in-law."

Lady Red didn't keep them in suspense; she simply said, "Relic Mushroom."

“My husband said that we can use sarira mushrooms instead of silver water.”

Upon hearing this, both the eldest and second young masters couldn't help but frown.

The third brother actually wants the relic mushroom?
Could it be that he's still harboring wicked intentions and wants to use this to improve his cultivation and compete for the leadership position?

"Damn it, if I had something as good as the Relic Mushroom, I would have used it myself long ago. Why would it be my third brother's turn?"

The eldest son cursed and swore, feeling that his third brother seemed to have lost his mind and was being far too unrealistic.

Lady Red shook her head and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood."

“My husband doesn’t want the three-stage Relic Mushrooms, but rather the relatively cheaper one-stage and two-stage Relic Mushrooms.”

After she finished speaking, the expressions of the two young masters softened slightly.

It turns out to be a first or second-stage Relic Mushroom, which is acceptable.

Three-turned sarira mushrooms are expensive, and there are mostly no buyers; nobody would even consider selling them to someone else.

After all, the two brothers are now at the third level of cultivation.

If there really were a three-stage relic mushroom, I would have enjoyed it long ago.

While first and second-tier Relic Mushrooms are equally rare and expensive, they are not unavailable for purchase; they are simply usually sold at a premium.

If they haven't misjudged the situation, hasn't their third brother already reached the peak of the second stage?
With the third brother's cultivation level, the second-stage relic mushroom was already useless, let alone the first-stage relic mushroom.

What does he want these first and second-generation relic mushrooms for?

The young master was completely baffled and simply stopped thinking about it.

"First and second-grade relic mushrooms are no problem."

"I wonder how many Relic Mushrooms Third Brother wants?"

Lady Red smiled and held up two fingers, speaking softly: "Two first-stage Relic Mushrooms, two second-stage Relic Mushrooms, plus five thousand silver water."

This time, compared to the previous terrifying 20,000 silver coins, it's barely reasonable.

After all, on paper, these Relic Mushrooms plus Silver Water only cost less than seven or eight thousand Silver Water in total.

However, one should not judge things by appearances alone.

After all, Shari-shrooms can't be bought with just silver; they can't be measured in actual silver.

Even if an ordinary independent mushroom cultivator has silver water, they may not be able to find a way to buy relic mushrooms.

Some caravans do sell sarira mushrooms, but they are almost all pre-ordered and monopolized by local forces.

Ordinary people have absolutely no access to sari mushrooms.

As you may recall, when Wu Liang was in Zhaodi Town, only the Songzi Temple and the three families were able to produce relic mushrooms.

Of course, just because ordinary people can't buy sarira mushrooms doesn't mean that the White Horn Tribe can't buy them.

As a prominent local force in Bajiao Mountain, the Baijiao tribe would certainly have some stock of things like the Relic Mushroom.

As the third young master who was not favored, Wu Liang naturally didn't even need to think about getting the Relic Mushroom.

But the eldest son is different. As the eldest son of the White Horn leader, mobilizing a few Relic Mushrooms is no problem for him.

As for the second young master, if he wants the Relic Mushroom, he will have to spend a lot of silver to buy it, which is really not worth it.

Therefore, when the second young master heard that he was going to use the Relic Mushroom to exchange for the Hairy Zombie, his face turned extremely ugly.

He knew perfectly well that he had no chance with the hairy zombie and it would eventually fall into his older brother's hands.

"Hahaha……"

"This is so true!"

"I remember there were exactly three Shari-shrooms in the tribe, but we were missing one second-stage Shari-shroom."

"I'll send someone to the wealthy merchant caravan to buy one to make up for it." The young master laughed heartily, waved his hand, and summoned the mushroom master to fetch the relic mushroom.

He then took out a three-turn mushroom, which was pure white like jade and shaped like a plump, smiling old woman.

When Lady Red saw this mushroom, her eyes lit up.

Could this be the Rich Woman Mushroom?

The so-called "rich lady mushroom" is actually a type of mushroom called a "mushroom master," a logistical mushroom specifically used for storing mercury.

For mushroom growers, although gourds can also be used to store liquid silver, they cannot be stored for a long time due to the risk of evaporation, and they are also extremely inconvenient.

With the Rich Mushroom, you can store a large amount of silver liquid on your person, even tens of millions of drops, without worrying about whether the silver liquid will evaporate.

It's an essential money box for the wealthy.

Furthermore, the Rich Mushroom does not require special feeding; simply store silver water inside.

The plumper the "rich lady mushroom," the more silver it contains.

However, if there is no silver income for a long time, the rich woman mushroom will become thinner and thinner until she starves to death.

"Sister-in-law, quickly take out the silver gourd. I'll give you the five thousand silver coins first."

The eldest young master was impatient and wanted to finalize the ownership of the third-turn fur zombie, fearing that the second young master would compete with him for it.

As he spoke, he prepared to extract the silver liquid from the rich woman's mushroom.

"Big brother, don't rush!"

"I've been whispering sweet nothings in his ear for so long, and I finally managed to get that damned guy to give up the Eight-Cornered Saint Fighting and agree to sell the Three-Turn Hairy Zombie."

"Even if I haven't done anything outstanding, I've certainly put in the effort. Why doesn't my elder brother show some appreciation and reward me?"

Lady Red frowned, pouted, and looked aggrieved.

Upon seeing this, the eldest son grinned, his eyes burning with desire as he looked his younger brother and sister-in-law up and down.

"Haha, it's my fault for being so forgetful. I should really reward my brother and sister-in-law."

"Why don't we go to the couch..."

Clearly, the young master has misunderstood something.

Lady Red rolled her eyes in anger, gritted her teeth, and stomped her feet.

"Big brother~"

"What kind of reward is this?"

"Is that a reward for my elder brother, or a reward for me?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest son chuckled awkwardly and asked, "Then, sister-in-law, what kind of reward do you want?"

'Madam Red' didn't stand on ceremony. She pointed at the rich mushroom in his hand, blinked, and spoke in a sweet voice.

"Big brother, do you want this rich lady mushroom?"

"This mushroom, in both its shape and function, is quite a good match for me."

"I wonder if my elder brother would be so kind as to bestow this mushroom upon me?"

Upon hearing this, the young master was taken aback and hesitated.

Rich mushrooms are not cheap.

Despite its seemingly simple function of storing silver, it is actually a rare and precious mushroom.

On the market, it sells for five hundred silver coins, making it an extremely rare item.

This was a gift from the old man, and he was really reluctant to give it to this slut.

But at that moment, the young master saw the expectant look on Madam Red's face.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, gritted his teeth, and said, "Since my sister-in-law likes it, then take it."

"However, if your sister-in-law is free these next few days, she must come over in the evenings and have some fun with her older brother."

With a hint of reluctance, the young master took out the silver liquid from the rich woman's mushroom, leaving only five thousand silver liquid inside.

In an instant, the once plump and chubby mushroom became shriveled, and its ever-smiling appearance drooped.

After the young master finished doing all this, he handed the Rich Woman Mushroom over to 'Madam Red'.

Lady Red took the rich woman's mushroom and immediately beamed with joy.

Faced with the young master's request for intimacy, he readily agreed.

Before long, a mushroom master presented four relic mushrooms.

Without even glancing at them, the young master handed them all over to 'Madam Red', his face immediately showing anticipation.

'Madam Red' covered her mouth and chuckled, then took out the Corpse-Driving Mushroom.

"Brother, this is the corpse-driving mushroom that controls this third-turn hairy zombie."

"With your cultivation at the third-stage advanced level, it should only take you one or two days to refine this mushroom."

"This humble servant here congratulates you in advance, elder brother, on conquering the Eight-Cornered Saint and ascending to the position of leader!"

The young master took the corpse-driving mushroom, his face beaming with joy, and he grinned, "Hahaha, my sister-in-law has such a sweet tongue."

"Now that I have this three-turn hairy zombie, I'll see who can stop me!"

"The position of chieftain of the Holy Horn Tribe belongs to none other than me!"

The young master was full of vigor and confidence.

Upon seeing this, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the second young master.

Without Mao Jiang's elder brother, he wouldn't know how to cope.

This time, with Mao Jiang on his side, his chances of becoming the leader are completely over.

The second young master was devastated. He made up an excuse and left, not wanting to see his elder brother's arrogant face again.

Meanwhile, after receiving the silver water and mushrooms, 'Madam Red' also took her leave.

The young master, who was in high spirits, was even planning to keep 'Madam Red' and try out a new game of taking turns feeding her.

Unfortunately, Lady Red didn't even give him a chance to say something and ask him to stay before she left in a hurry...
