Mushroom Man

Chapter 201 The Heavenly Spring of Spiritual Energy: Sudden Wealth (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Brother Mushroom, what's next?"

"Trying to use this rabble to deal with the White Horn leader won't be that easy."

"Now that we have just unified the Blackhorn tribe, the people's hearts are still unsettled."

"They definitely won't agree to be sent to ambush and kill the White Horn leader at this time."

After calming everyone down, Morobi discussed the next steps with Wu Liang.

She frowned, clearly not optimistic about the plan to kill the White Horn leader.

Wu Liang nodded slightly and said calmly, "It's alright, I had anticipated this."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the group of Blackhorn Mushroom Masters who had already dispersed and said confidently, "It's actually very simple to make them obey."

"All we need to do is turn these mushroom masters into our slaves."

“I happen to have a type of mushroom here that can do that.”

"Oh? What kind of mushroom?" Upon hearing this, Morobi's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask.

Wu Liang smiled without saying a word and shook his head.

Seeing this, Morobi pursed her lips and didn't press the matter further.

Asking someone about their mushrooms is a major taboo for mushroom experts!

After all, if others know everything about a mushroom grower's mushrooms, it would be incredibly easy for them to target him.

Wu Liang stepped down from the platform and casually said, "I need a large amount of Nudao mushroom materials."

"Now, it's time for us to take a look at what we've gained this time."

Upon hearing this, Morobi's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but rub her hands together.

"Yes, we've made a fortune this time!"

"Now that I am the leader of Blackhorn, all the resources that the Blackhorn tribe has accumulated over the years are now ours."

"I've never been this rich in my entire life!"

"Let's go, let's go take a look at the mushroom room where the tribe stores mushrooms and mushroom materials."

"Let's get this straight first: the slave resources are yours, and the strength resources are mine!"

Wu Liang had no objection to this and immediately followed Morobi to the Black Horn Mushroom Room.

The Black Horn Mushroom Room stores all the mushrooms and mushroom materials accumulated by the Black Horn tribe.

Of course, those are all tribal resources.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be moved easily.

However, Wu Liang and Morobi didn't care about any of that.

The Black Horn tribe was merely a stepping stone for them to escape the Western Regions, and they would certainly abandon it afterward.

They never intended for long-term development, nor did they ever aspire to become a major or minor leader.

Consequently, Wu Liang and Morobi had no taboos about this and even planned to completely devour the Black Horn tribe.

Not long after...

Wu Liang then went with Morobi to the Black Horned Mushroom Room.

The guards here, seeing the 'High Priest' and the leader, dared not stop them and quickly made way for them.

The mushroom houses of the Black Horn tribe are extremely spacious, nestled in the mountainside, and surrounded by torches, so they are not dark at all.

As soon as Wu Liang and Morobi stepped into this place, they felt the extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The sound of rushing water then reached my ears.

The two seemed to have guessed something, and both looked in the direction of the sound.

Then, in the very center of the mushroom room, there was a spring about 10 feet in size.

The spring water is silvery-white, and the water flows with a gurgling sound, forming a spring that constantly spews out rich spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies were so concentrated that they even turned into mist.

If the mist were to thicken further, it would form a silvery liquid that would fall into the spring below.

This process repeats itself endlessly.

"This……"

"This is actually a spring of spiritual energy from heaven and earth?"

Wu Liang and Morobi exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

The so-called "spiritual spring of heaven and earth" is a natural wonder born from the heavens and earth.

The silver water used by the mushroom master is drawn from the spiritual spring of heaven and earth.

The spiritual springs of heaven and earth are classified into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior.

The lowest grade of spiritual spring water can exist for up to a hundred years.

Once the spiritual energy is exhausted, the spring will dry up.

Even so, a single sip of low-grade spiritual spring water is enough to sustain an entire force.

A medium-grade spiritual spring can exist for a thousand years.

Its interior is brimming with spiritual energy, and its efficiency in producing silver water far exceeds that of lower-grade spiritual springs.

A single mid-grade spiritual spring can often attract the covetous eyes of powerful forces.

The finest spiritual springs can exist for tens of thousands of years.

The amount of silver water produced by this spiritual spring has already exceeded the imagination of ordinary mushroom growers.

Only a powerful force like Buddhism could possess such a sacred spring.

The spiritual spring in front of Wu Liang and Morobi was merely a low-grade spiritual spring.

However, don't underestimate the lower-grade spiritual spring.

You should know that even low-grade spiritual springs are not found everywhere.

At the very least, with Abbot Shanren, a fifth-level mushroom master, presiding over Zhaodi Town, there is no so-called Heavenly Spirit Spring.

Of course, there might be a spiritual spring, but Wu Liang just hasn't seen it.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich this time!"

Morobi could not hide her excitement and murmured to herself.

This was also her first time stepping into the Blackhorn Mushroom Chamber, and the first time she had learned that the Blackhorn tribe actually had a spiritual spring hidden inside.

"Pity……"

"You can't take the spiritual spring with you." "It is said that the Celestial Venerable of Longevity's Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom was made by combining it with the spiritual spring, and it is known as a mobile spiritual spring."

"Although the silver water produced is not as good as that of a low-grade spiritual spring, it is convenient and can be used at any time."

"Although the Spirit Spring Silver Water has a high yield, it is only suitable for powerful factions, not for us mushroom masters who need to flee for our lives."

Wu Liang shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

Upon hearing this, Morobi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"You should be content!"

“We cannot move the spirit spring, but we can retrieve all the silver water from it.”

"The silver stored here is at least over 100,000."

"If we kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and simply destroy this spiritual spring, we might be able to extract even more silver water."

More than 100,000 silver coins...

Wu Liang remained outwardly calm, maintaining the demeanor expected of a disciple of an immortal, but his heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time he had ever seen so much silver.

With so much silver, he probably won't lack silver even after he reaches the fourth level of cultivation.
"Let's see if there are any other treasures."

Wu Liang pretended to be calm and did not rush to retrieve the silver water.

The sacred spring is most susceptible to pollution, and the silvery water within it is no exception.

If they want to retrieve the silver water, they need to hire a mushroom master from the Black Horn tribe who specializes in retrieving silver water.

The spring is right there, and since we can't grow legs to run away, there's no rush.

Morobi had no objection to this.

After struggling to look away from the spiritual spring, she and Wu Liang wandered around the mushroom room, taking stock of the resources.

As is well known, the Black Horn and White Horn tribes practiced both physical strength and slavery.

People of high status, such as young masters, usually cultivate the path of slavery.

Ordinary tribal mushroom masters, on the other hand, focus more on cultivating physical strength.

Therefore, the mushroom room contained a considerable amount of both high-quality and low-quality mushroom materials.

There were items with names and items without names, a dazzling array.

There are also some relatively common Soul Path mushroom materials here, such as Ghost Face Flower and Grave Grass.

Clearly, these Soul Path mushroom materials are all used to refine Soul Path mushrooms, which are used to enhance the soul foundation of Slave Path mushroom masters.

As the saying goes, soul and slave are inseparable. If a slave master wants to control more slave beasts, a strong foundation of soul is essential.

Wu Liang was worried about not having a place to increase his spiritual foundation.

Now, in this Blackhorn tribe, perhaps my wish will come true.

With this in mind, Wu Liang quickly turned his attention to the mushroom field inside the mushroom house.

A mushroom field is a plot of land artificially cultivated by mushroom growers, mimicking the dantian (energy center) of the body, to support the growth of mushrooms.

There are about ten acres of mushroom fields here, all surrounding the Lingquan spring.

These mushroom fields are planted with mushrooms of varying sizes.

The closer the mushrooms are to the Spirit Spring, the higher their rarity and the higher their rank.

Wu Liang and Morobi immediately focused their attention on the mushrooms near the spiritual spring.

But once you look, you'll be shocked!
On the one-acre mushroom field near the spiritual spring, there were a full twenty mushrooms!
There are three four-turn mushrooms, five three-turn mushrooms, and twelve two-turn mushrooms!
Without exception, all of these mushrooms are relatively rare, and each one has its own unique characteristics.

The mushrooms that first caught their attention were naturally the two level-four mushrooms.

These two four-stage mushrooms...

It was pitch black, growing crookedly, as if it had rotted and was infested with maggots.

It's about the size of a human head, plump and white, with its mushroom cap shaped like the Chinese character "囧" (jiǒng).

"That is……"

"A four-turn Jumping Zombie Mushroom, a four-turn Creeper Mushroom?"

Morobi recognized the two four-turn mushrooms at a glance.

The Jumping Mushroom, needless to say, is an evolved form of the Hairy Mushroom.

Abbot Shanren used a hairy mushroom to disguise himself as a jumping mushroom, which is how he tricked Master Gu.

The moment Wu Liang saw this mushroom, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This is truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly".

Unexpectedly, he found the Jumping Zombie Mushroom, which even Bone Immortal had been searching for but could not obtain, here.

If he could obtain this mushroom, he might consider transforming into a hopping zombie to prolong his life.

Clearly, this Jumping Zombie Mushroom was prepared for himself by the Blackhorn leader.

However, before he could refine the mushroom, he died at the hands of Morobi.

Wu Liang suppressed his distracting thoughts and shifted his gaze to another Creeper Mushroom.

This mushroom is just as rare as the Jumping Mushroom.

This mushroom is a power mushroom; its effect is that the more severely injured the mushroom master is, the deeper the pain they feel, the greater the strength they can unleash.

It looks simple, but it's actually a mushroom that gets stronger with each battle.

This mushroom is somewhat similar to the Bloodbath Mushroom, which becomes stronger the more blood the mushroom master bleeds.

If Wu Liang can obtain this mushroom and refine the Blood Battle Mushroom in the future, they might be able to combine them and unleash an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

But unfortunately...

The resources here are not exclusive to Wu Liang.

These two mushrooms are clearly meant to be shared equally between the two of them.

"Brother Mushroom, which one do you prefer?"

Morobi was very generous and waved her hand, intending to let Wu Liang choose first.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang stroked his chin, having made his choice.

He didn't stand on ceremony and calmly said, "I'll choose this one..."
