Mushroom Man

Chapter 219 The best in the world, incomparable to any mushroom

"Well……"

"Why do I feel that my talent and aptitude in the Blood Path are higher than that in the Qi Path, which I have been cultivating from beginning to end?"

"Could it be that I'm also a genius of the Blood Path?"

Wu Liang rubbed his chin, his expression strange.

His achievements in the art of qi cultivation were merely the prototypes of two completely insignificant killing moves: the River of Sword Qi and the Great Annihilation Life and Death Sword Qi.

They all have fancy names, but they actually have no technical merit whatsoever.

But the bloodstream is different...

Wu Liang's development of the Blood Path has reached a level comparable to that of ordinary Blood Path Masters.

First, it was based on the scapegoat killing method of slavery, and then it was improved to specifically target the sharing of hardships among relatives.

Later, based on the foundation of sharing weal and woe, he devised a killing move to curse and kill his own blood relatives by sacrificing them to the heavens.

This is really...

Anyone who becomes his relative is truly cursed.

Wu Liang shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"The killer move has been conceived, but it still needs to be refined."

"First of all, this killing move is too low-level. The blood fungus it contains is basically only at the second stage."

"A second-tier killing move is far too weak; it's very likely it won't be able to kill my relative directly."

Wu Liang was well aware of this; he only had one chance!
If the curse fails to kill the villain on the first try, the villain may realize what's happening, and the consequences could be dire.

Therefore, Wu Liang had to perfect this killing move to its fullest extent, at least to the third level, before he could use it effectively.

Perfecting this killing move and upgrading it to the third level is not difficult for him.

After all, without exception, every mushroom Wu Liang used to construct this killing move had a recipe for further refinement.

If he wanted, he could cooperate with Yan Zhaodi at any time to refine these mushrooms.

But before that...

"I need to have the Third Young Master use this killing move to test whether it works on the White Horn leader."

Wu Liang nodded slightly and gave a sinister smile.

That's right!

The reason he refined so many second-tier bloodline mushrooms was not actually for himself, but for the Third Young Master!

Wu Liang is a level 3 mushroom master, so level 2 mushrooms are no longer of much use to him.

Its only use might be for training subordinates.

Now, after being cleansed by the River of Oblivion and brainwashed by Yan Zhaodi, Madam Hong and the Third Young Master are loyal enough to be of use.

It would be a waste to keep them locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower indefinitely.

Moreover, neither of these two guys has any talent for cultivating the Dao.

Even with the guidance of the Daoist master Yan Zhaodi, these two failed to become Daoist apprentices.

Wu Liang's plan to cultivate a group of Dao Refining Mushroom Masters has obviously fallen through without him even realizing it.

Since that's the case, with the idea of ​​making use of waste, he decided to train these two guys into assassins specifically to protect him.

When training assassins, there's no need to consider their future prospects; the only concern is how to quickly equip them with a certain level of combat capability.

Of all the schools of thought, the Blood Path is undoubtedly the most suitable for them.

Firstly, the Blood Path is a school of thought that excels at quick production, and both the mushrooms and the mushroom materials are very cheap.

Furthermore, it can also make use of Abbot Shanren's fourth-stage bloodline inheritance and the memory inheritance of Blood River Ancestor.

The reason Wu Liang has never given up on the Blood Path is because of the Blood Path inheritances he has.

If he were to train assassins to cultivate the Blood Path in the future, he could then focus his efforts on other schools of thought.

"My previous conversation with Morobi taught me about the mutual repulsion of Dao traces."

"Until I resolve the issue of mutual exclusion of Dao traces, I can only try to minimize the number of different schools of cultivation."

As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

"The Blood Path is good, but the Blood Path inheritances I've obtained are all highly problematic. If I make it my main cultivation path, I'll definitely fall into a trap in the future..."

Wu Liang lowered his eyelids, his eyes gleaming.

After learning about the mutual repulsion of Dao traces, he realized that he had to simplify his teachings and abandon some schools of thought.

The first school of martial arts he abandoned was the Blood Path!
In fact, logically speaking, the most suitable school of thought for him right now is undoubtedly the Blood Path.

After all, the bloodline inheritance he possesses is the most complete among all inheritances.

At the Mushroom Master stage, one receives the fourth-stage Blood Path inheritance from Abbot Shanren.

During the Mushroom Immortal stage, he was supported by fragments of Blood River Ancestor's memories.

It can be said that as long as Wu Liang cultivates the Blood Path, it is very likely that he will become a Blood Path Immortal by relying on the memory fragments of the Blood River Ancestor.

However, the pitfalls involved were simply too great, forcing him to abandon the Blood Path.

Wu Liang is now a Blood Path apprentice, and his perspective is quite different from when he was in Zhaodi Town.

He could clearly see that there were huge problems with Abbot Shanren's fourth-stage bloodline inheritance.

He obtained this fourth-stage bloodline inheritance from Abbot Shanren's underground secret cave.

However, upon closer inspection, this bloodline inheritance appears strange in many ways.

In that book, all the mushrooms and even the most lethal techniques recorded were, without exception, quick methods of preparation.

If Wu Liang were to construct the Blood Path Mushroom according to Abbot Shanren's legacy, he would only become the shape Abbot Shanren wanted him to take, leaving behind various hidden dangers.

Clearly, this fourth-stage bloodline inheritance was specially left to Sekong by Abbot Shanren.

However, Wu Liang intercepted it in advance, stealing it before Abbot Shanren could send out the bloodline inheritance.

Of course, although this inheritance has problems, it is still a good way to quickly become a Blood Path Mushroom Master.

Since Wu Liang himself doesn't want to do it, it's perfect for the Third Young Master and Madam Hong to do it.

However, the memories passed down by the Blood River Ancestor were too fragmented.

Unless Wu Liang one day completely digests all of the Blood River Ancestor's memories, his inheritance is not enough to make him switch to cultivating the Blood Path.

Moreover, most of the mushrooms in the Blood River Ancestor's legacy require a large number of talented people to refine.

They readily sacrifice hundreds or thousands of people, creating blood pools and rivers.

In today's world, the righteous path reigns supreme.

If Wu Liang were to actually perform a blood sacrifice, he would undoubtedly be following in the footsteps of the Blood River Ancestor.

Why was the Blood River Ancestor suppressed in the first place? Wasn't it because he sacrificed the people of the area with his blood, thus provoking the Buddhist sect?
"I won't major in the Blood Path, but mastering some Blood Path techniques and occasionally using Blood Path fungi shouldn't be a problem."

"Moreover, even if I wanted to give up the Bloodline Path right now, I would have to wait until the hidden dangers in my bloodline are resolved..."

Wu Liang collected his thoughts, stood up, and prepared to go to the fourth floor to hand over these blood-path mushrooms to the Third Young Master.

Instead of using the Demon Suppression Tower, he chose to teleport himself to the fourth floor.

Instead, they planned to activate the mushrooms to test the speed of combining the Blood-Burning Mushroom and the Breath-Shuffled Mushroom.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang's mind stirred.

The next moment, the third-stage Bloodbath Mushroom and the third-stage Jet Mushroom were activated in succession.

Wu Liang's blood instantly boiled, and blood energy rose around him, turning him into a blood-soaked figure!
He could clearly feel his blood burning fiercely and rapidly draining away!
Wu Liang dared not delay and quickly used the Jet Mushroom to spray a stream of air behind him.

The originally invisible and colorless airflow turned scarlet under the influence of the Blood-Burning Mushroom.

Wu Liang's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, like a jet plane, leaving streaks of blood in mid-air.

In just a few breaths...

Wu Liang then descended from the ninth level all the way to the fourth level, the River of Forgetfulness.

Just hear a loud "boom"!
Wu Liang, who was still unfamiliar with the jet mushroom, fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.

The giant white elephant mushroom and the muscle mushroom gave him a strong body, which caused the ground to be smashed into a large crater.

"call……"

"I never expected that the combination of Jet Mushroom and Blood Mushroom could be so fast."

Wu Liang waved his hand, dispelling the smoke and dust.

He stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be a Fairy Mushroom on the Oddity List, whose effects were somewhat similar to the Jet Mushroom.

This mushroom is called the Qi Escape Mushroom. It is said to be a reverse-processed version of the Famous Mushroom, ranking fifth on the list of extraordinary mushrooms in the world, even higher than the Heavenly Origin Creation Lingzhi.

Of course, this ranking does not mean that the Qi-Dun Mushroom is more powerful than the Tianyuan Creation Lingzhi.

The "List of Extraordinary Mushrooms of Heaven and Earth" ranks mushrooms based primarily on their reputation among the world.

Air Release Mushroom also uses jet propulsion, and in terms of straight-line flight speed alone, it is the fastest in the world, unmatched by any other mushroom.

It is said that one can transform into qi and disappear into the heavens and earth.

The Jet Mushroom and the Air Release Mushroom are so similar. If one day he could refine this mushroom into a Celestial Mushroom, would he be able to obtain the famous Air Release Mushroom?
Wu Liang's thoughts wandered, but he quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea.

"The jet mushroom needs to expel air to move, essentially using air as fuel."

"I wonder what would happen if I used anger, death energy, sword energy, or even blood and corpse energy as fuel for the jet mushroom?"

"Is it a significant increase in speed, or some other effect?"

Wu Liang walked out of the pit he had created, seemingly lost in thought.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have lost too much blood.

His body swayed uncontrollably, his head was spinning, and his face was deathly pale.

"I never imagined that the consumption of Bloodburning Mushrooms would be so terrifying."

"It seems that in the future, when using this mushroom, I will need to pair it with mushrooms that can restore health..."

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he activated the second-stage Blood Regeneration Mushroom.

It didn't take long for his expression to soften.

Meanwhile, Yan Zhaodi, the Third Young Master, and Madam Hong only heard the commotion and arrived late.

When Yan Zhaodi saw Wu Liang, she rushed into his arms without thinking and kept rubbing against him.

"whee……"

"Master, Master, Zhao Di has finished processing all the mushrooms needed in the basin. Can we take a break now?"

As Yan Zhaodi spoke, she looked at Wu Liang with anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

He had originally planned to wait until Yan Zhaodi finished refining the mushrooms in the basin before going to the blood pool on the ninth floor to help refine the blood-path mushrooms.

But looking at it now...

Wu Liang patted Yan Zhaodi's head and said, "Alright, considering how hard you've been working lately..."

"I'll grant you three days' rest, no, one day!"
