Mushroom Man

Chapter 213 The Black Beauty Takes a Bath, Let's Take a Bath Together
"Ahhh!"

"Master, what happened?"

"Why is there such a loud commotion all of a sudden? Could it be that the Demon Suppression Tower is about to collapse?"

Perhaps it was because Wu Liang's punch had caused too much of a commotion.

Yan Zhaodi, who was focused on cultivating mushrooms, was disturbed and ruined one of the mushrooms.

For a moment, Yan Zhaodi thought that this dilapidated tower was about to collapse again, just like last time.

She was terrified and quickly ran over with Madam Hong and the Third Young Master.

"Uh……"

Looking at their expressions, Wu Liang couldn't help but touch his nose.

He hadn't expected that his move would cause such a commotion.

If he were to take the shot again, he might not be able to do it.

After all, he didn't have the same method as Morobi, which could trigger the beast power phantom with 100% certainty.

His attack just now was able to trigger the white elephant phantom entirely because he had just refined the white elephant giant mushroom, and his heart was surging with emotion, which led to this performance.

"It's nothing, I was just testing one of my mushrooms."

"How many mushrooms in the basin has Zhao Di cultivated so far?"

Wu Liang remained expressionless and subtly changed the subject.

"Well……"

"Time was too short. Even with Xiao Hong and her mistress helping out, Zhao Di could only refine about ten mushrooms in one pot."

When Yan Zhaodi heard that it wasn't the Demon Suppression Tower that was about to collapse, she breathed a sigh of relief and showed more than ten mushrooms from the rotating basin.

Wu Liang was quite satisfied with this.

A dozen or so mushrooms in a basin are certainly not enough for him to control the mushroom masters of the entire Black Horn tribe.

However, Yan Zhaodi managed to cultivate so many pots of mushrooms in just about a day.

So, given a little more time, it shouldn't take long for her to develop a mushroom powerful enough to control all the Blackhorn Mushroom Masters.

That's right!

It had only been about a day since Wu Liang refined the Muscle Mushroom and the White Elephant Giant Mushroom.

Yan Zhaodi is a genius among geniuses for being able to refine so many first-stage mushrooms in such a short time; she is truly a model worker.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that Yan Zhaodi is no longer human, but a beast.

The beasts of E's beasts are tireless, need no sleep, and neither drink nor eat; they are born like cattle and horses.

The artificial mushroom beast created by the Formless Celestial Venerable naturally possesses its own mysteries.

This is why Yan Zhaodi was able to work at maximum efficiency in a short period of time, doing the work of several people.

"Okay, very good..."

"Zhao Di did a good job, keep up the good work."

"These mushrooms are far from enough. Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Wu Liang stroked Yan Zhaodi's head, showering her with praise.

Yan Zhaodi was quite pleased with this, and she squinted her eyes comfortably and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, Zhao Di will continue to work hard and will definitely not let Master down!"

Wu Liang smiled and put away the dozen or so mushrooms in the rotating basin.

He chatted casually with Yan Zhaodi for a few minutes, then dismissed her and continued refining mushrooms for himself.

After doing all this, Wu Liang lingered inside the Demon Suppression Tower for a while longer.

However, he did not do nothing; instead, he took this opportunity to refine his true energy using the Seven-Fragrance Wine Mushroom.

A long river of pale golden true energy surged and churned ceaselessly.

The spiced mushrooms are soaked in the wine and then swirl around.

With each rotation, the river of true energy becomes one degree purer.

Strands of shimmering, golden true energy gradually replaced the pale golden true energy.

It took Wu Liang a full half-day to transform all of his initial stage three-stage true qi into intermediate stage three-stage true qi.

The whole process went very smoothly and naturally.

There were no unusual phenomena; it seemed rather ordinary.

But that's quite normal...

After all, Wu Liang hadn't actually entered the middle stage of the third rank; he had just condensed his true qi to the middle stage of the third rank ahead of time.

His dantian remained unchanged at fifteen mu in size.

However, the improvement of true qi often translates to an improvement in strength.

Wu Liang's cultivation level may not have changed, but his strength is now vastly different from before.

He is now capable of taking on four or five of his former selves.

"Tsk..."

Wu Liang stood still and waited for a moment, but he did not see Jian Shouqing unleash his power.

He shook his head regretfully and pondered to himself.

"It seems that simply refining true qi cannot actively stimulate the See-Hand Beast to reveal its secrets."

"Only by truly improving one's cultivation can one stimulate the 'Seeing Hand Blue' and unleash its great power."

"I don't know what the principle is, but the herb-like creature has been getting lazier and lazier lately."

"In the past, I would occasionally reveal some secrets, but now only when my cultivation has improved will I be able to shake my hand a couple of times."

"This can't go on. I need to find some time to figure out how to actively provoke the Blue-eyed Bone..."

Wu Liang collected his thoughts and silently withdrew from the Demon Suppression Tower.

……

Blackhorn Tribe.

In a secluded corner.

Wu Liang patted off non-existent dust from his body and put away the Formless Token.

With a thought, he wanted to activate the Human Faceless Form to transform into the appearance of the High Priest.

However, when he activated the Human Face Impermanence Technique, he inexplicably felt a sense of stagnation.

This feeling of stagnation is indescribable and inexplicable.

He used to be able to change as he pleased and do whatever he wanted.

For some reason, he always seemed a bit awkward when changing his appearance these days. This time, it took Wu Liang about two breaths to successfully activate the Human Faceless Form and transform into the appearance of the High Priest.

"Ok?"

"what's the situation?"

Wu Liang frowned, his expression darkening.

He examined himself carefully but found that he had not been affected by any magic.

The human face is ever-changing, and it's still the same as before, just those few mushrooms.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang's cultivation has now reached the initial stage of the third level, and his true qi has been refined to the middle stage of the third level.

They should be even more adept at using the deadly move of making people's faces unpredictable.

Why now...

Wu Liang was completely baffled by this and could only suppress his doubts for the time being.

"Human faces are ever-changing, but they are the foundation of my life, and I must not make any mistakes."

"I need to find a time to figure out why there is a feeling of stagnation when I activate the killing move."

Wu Liang was filled with thoughts and worries.

Fortunately, nowadays, the only problem with stimulating facial expressions is a slight stiffness, but the effect is not affected.

Wu Liang quickly calmed down and walked out of the place with a normal expression, heading straight for Morobi's tent.

"High Priest... High Priest, greetings..."

Along the way, many black horn mushroom growers greeted him respectfully.

Meanwhile, many of the high priest's former confidants, seeing him disappear for a day, finally reappeared in public.

They all crowded around, wanting to ask about the matter of giving up their seat that day.

However, Wu Liang had no intention of wasting his breath arguing with these guys.

What does it matter if he's a confidant or not? Once the mushrooms in the basin are properly prepared, all the mushroom masters in the entire Black Horn tribe will be his confidants.

Therefore, Wu Liang simply made a few casual remarks about having his own arrangements when facing this group of so-called confidants, and then dismissed them.

"It seems that Morobi has done a good job of calming down these mushroom masters in the past day or so."

"Surprisingly, nothing went wrong..."

Wu Liang subtly observed the demeanor of the black horn mushroom masters who had passed by.

These black horn mushroom masters did not cause a great disturbance because of their leader's death.

On the contrary, these guys all had smiles on their faces and looked even more energetic than when the leader was there.

Clearly, during this period, Morobi spent a lot of silver and resources to appease these Blackhorn Mushroom Masters and distributed a lot of mushrooms.

Otherwise, how could these black horn mushroom growers be so obedient?

Wu Liang shook his head, fully aware of the situation.

Not long after...

Wu Liang arrived at Morobi's tiger-skin tent.

Before he could speak, Morobi's voice came from inside.

"come in."

Clearly, the commotion caused by the high priest outside had also reached her ears.

Wu Liang, with a natural expression, lifted the curtain and went inside.

His gaze swept across the room and he saw Morobi taking a bath!

That's right!

He was taking a shower!
Inside the dimly lit tent, steam rose and a large wooden tub was placed.

The wooden barrel was filled with a milky white liquid, which looked like the milk of some kind of mushroom or animal.

Rose petals floated on the water, releasing a fragrant aroma.

Morobi's body, slightly darker than bronze, was submerged in water, making it impossible to see anything except her head.

"Hey mushroom, don't just stand there, come and soak in the water with me."

Morobi is very outspoken and says surprising things!

Despite being a woman, she acted as if she were a man, shamelessly inviting Wu Liang to take a bath together.

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Morobi, isn't this inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Morobi knew perfectly well what Wu Liang had misunderstood.

She rolled her eyes and gave a disdainful smile.

"I don't care about the difference between men and women. It's just a matter of having a few more or fewer pieces of meat. Why are you pretending to be such a proper person, Brother Mushroom?"

"Men should be more decisive. Why are you dawdling like a woman?"

"You're lucky that I invited you over for a bath."

Morobi raised her chin and looked at Wu Liang with a half-smile.

"This is a medicinal bath that I prepared by spending thousands of silver coins, using various powerful mushrooms and the milk of a three-turn mushroom beast."

"I invited you to take a medicinal bath because I noticed that you seem to have improved your strength techniques recently."

"This medicinal bath can relieve physical fatigue and eliminate the fatigue and hidden injuries left over from the use of modified mushrooms."

"This is a rare and precious item. Brother Mushroom, are you coming or not?"

obviously……

Morobi had already figured it out; Wu Liang had used some kind of modified fungus to refine his physical body.

While her words seemed to be an invitation for Wu Liang to soak in a medicinal bath, they actually contained a hidden intention to test him.

Modified mushrooms can also be categorized into high-conversion, low-conversion, and strong-conversion varieties.

Only by forcibly refining high-level modified mushrooms, such as the White Elephant Giant Strength Mushroom, can a mushroom master's body become fatigued and suffer any hidden injuries.

Morobi's actions were clearly a test to see what level of modified mushrooms Wu Liang had used.

only……

Wu Liang frowned almost imperceptibly, a thought flashing through his mind.

How did this guy know that he had used modified mushrooms on him?

Now he has transformed into a high priest, without revealing at all that he has refined his physical body using the White Elephant Giant Mushroom.

Logically speaking, since the appearance of a human face is not fixed and has the function of a recognizable mushroom, this guy shouldn't be able to tell.

Could it be because of her True Martial Demon-Slaying Body?
