Mushroom Man

Chapter 220 Scattering Beans to Create Soldiers, Yellow Turban Warriors

"what?!"

"It's only been one day..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhaodi's face fell.

She really hasn't stopped for a moment these days.

Refining mushrooms is extremely taxing on one's energy and spirit, and she is the master, the only mushroom refiner she can rely on.

The Third Young Master and Madam Hong couldn't offer much help.

Under these circumstances, Yan Zhaodi was practically constantly refining mushrooms every day.

If she weren't now in the form of a mushroom beast, she probably would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

"Zhao Di, thank you for your hard work..."

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary treatment."

"Once you get through this period and I arrive in Beihai, things should be easier for you."

Seeing Yan Zhaodi in this state, Wu Liang felt a pang of pity.

However, this reluctance vanished in an instant, not even lasting a single breath.

Given the current situation, he must seize every opportunity to improve himself and cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.

There are still a lot of mushrooms that have not been processed yet, so how can Yan Zhaodi be lazy?

Thinking about the future, we have no choice but to make Yan Zhaodi suffer...

"Ok!"

"Zhao Di has it easy!"

“Since Master is in such a hurry to refine mushrooms, then Zhao Di won’t rest. Anyway, once Master arrives at the North Sea, Zhao Di will have plenty of time to rest, hehe…”

Yan Zhaodi was quite pleased with Wu Liang's words of comfort and immediately perked up.

It's just one day, so I might as well not take a break.

The owner must have encountered danger while out there because he was in such urgent need of mushroom processing.

At this time, she doesn't mind the hardship; as long as her master can overcome the crisis, she is not afraid of any hardship or fatigue.

Anyway, there's plenty of time. If you want to rest and relax, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

However, what Yan Zhaodi didn't know was...

Wu Liang's claim that you'll be able to relax once you get to Beihai is blatant lying.

Once he reached Beihai, he was temporarily safe.

Without a doubt, I'll definitely be farming mushrooms to replenish my resources.

At that time, Yan Zhaodi will no longer have a good life.

However, Wu Liang would naturally not say these words to Yan Zhaodi.

After all, if you don't even give them a glimmer of hope, even the most loyal subordinates will turn against you because their future looks bleak.

"Oh, by the way, have you finished processing the male mushrooms in the basin?"

Wu Liang seemed to remember something and immediately asked.

Yan Zhaodi chuckled and held out her little hand to Wu Liang, revealing two mushrooms.

“Master, Zhao Di was already crafted for you a long time ago!”

"Of these two mushrooms, one is the male mushroom from the second rotating basin, which is specifically used to restrain the female mushroom."

"With this mushroom, the owner no longer needs to worry about someone using the mother mushroom to manipulate other people who have planted mushrooms in their pots, thereby harming the owner!"

"As for the other one, it was the Warrior Mushroom that Zhao Di made after she had refined enough mushrooms in the pot, using the remaining Slave Dao mushroom materials."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang showed his approval.

He was generous with his praise and encouragement to Yan Zhaodi before accepting the two mushrooms.

The male mushrooms in the basin need no further explanation.

This was his trump card to ensure he had a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances and to guard against Morobi's betrayal.

Of course, if possible, Wu Liang hoped he would never need to use this mushroom.

As for the other Hercules Mushroom, Wu Liang was quite familiar with it.

Hercules mushrooms originated from the Wu family's four generations of inheritance.

When Wu Liang entered the Wu family's mushroom room to select mushrooms, he had seen this mushroom.

The second-stage Warrior Mushroom is evolved from the first-stage Bean Mushroom.

A single turn of the Bean Mushroom can cause the beans scattered by the mushroom master to grow into humanoid puppets.

Often used as a target by mushroom growers to test the power of mushrooms, it has a similar effect to the scarecrow mushroom, posing no threat to the grower and rendering him unable to move.

When the Bean Mushroom is upgraded to the second level and becomes the Warrior Mushroom, its effects undergo a dramatic change.

The second-stage Warrior Mushroom allows the Mushroom Master to scatter beans to create soldiers, turning bean people into warriors capable of easily killing an ordinary person.

If it continues to be refined, it will become a Yellow Turban Warrior Mushroom at the third level.

The Three-Turn Yellow Turban Warrior Mushroom can transform a weak warrior who can only kill ordinary people into a powerful warrior with a yellow turban on his head and bulging muscles.

The strength of these Yellow Turban warriors can fluctuate depending on the quality of the beans they consume.

However, even the worst Yellow Turban Warrior has the ability to kill a first-level Mushroom Master.

And it is said that further up there are fourth-ranked golden-armored warriors who protect the Dharma and subdue demons, possessing immense strength.

However, there is no record of the fourth-stage Golden Armor Warrior Mushroom in the Wu family's fourth-stage inheritance.

This Nudao mushroom, which can turn beans into soldiers, was bought by Chief Wu from a peddler from the East when he traveled with a merchant caravan in his early years.

It seems that the fourth-tier Golden Armor Warrior Mushroom can only be found in the Eastern Lands.

However, Wu Liang did not want to focus on the path of slavery, nor did he want to spend too much energy on it.

The Path of Slavery requires the cultivation of the Path of Soul, which is far too energy-consuming for him, and the mutual repulsion of Dao traces makes it a thankless task.

So, the second-turn Hercules mushroom and the third-turn Yellow Turban Hercules mushroom were enough for him.

Unlike other enslaved mushrooms, Hercules mushrooms do not need to enslave mushroom beasts.

To use this mushroom, you only need to prepare the beans in advance.

Although the Hercules Mushrooms produce Hercules that can only deal with ordinary people, if their numbers increase, even first or second-level mushroom masters will have to give way.

After all, mushroom masters below the third rank rarely have large-scale offensive methods, and they will also suffer losses when facing a swarm of people. "Indeed, this mushroom is exactly what I want."

"But the second job advancement is still a bit too low, and it's no longer of much use to me."

As Wu Liang finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and turned to look at Madam Hong and the Third Young Master.

His gaze lingered between Madam Hong and the Third Young Master, finally settling on Madam Hong's pretty face.

"Little Red, this mushroom is for you."

"From now on, you will be a servant of the mushroom master. Do not betray my trust. If you slack off in the future, I will not let you off lightly."

Wu Liang nodded slightly and casually tossed the Hercules Mushroom to Madam Red.

That's right!

He plans to train Madam Red into a slave trader!
Lady Red is, after all, a mid-level mushroom master of the second rank.

It would be such a waste to leave it unused.

Now, most of his bloodline resources have been reserved for the Third Young Master, with the intention of training him to become a Bloodline Mushroom Master.

The third young master inherited his bloodline inheritance, leaving only the slavery inheritance, which has not yet been utilized.

After much deliberation, Wu Liang concluded that no one seemed more suitable than Madam Hong to inherit his legacy of slavery.

After all, Madam Hong was a former slave master, and her talent in slavery was quite remarkable.

As you can see, Madam Hong was able to tame the Third Young Master completely. Even after she climbed into the leader's bed, the Third Young Master didn't dare to utter a single word.

This is enough to demonstrate Lady Red's talent in the art of taming people; her strength lies in her ability to train people.

Wu Liang had even thought of the Red Lady's natal mushroom in advance.

Use that Wu family's fourth-generation inheritance, the "licking dog mushroom," which can enslave male dogs and make them willingly give their all!

"Thank you, Father!"

"Hong'er will definitely not let Father down!"

Lady Red looked excited, her voice sweet and affectionate.

She quickly took the second-tier Warrior Mushroom, then glanced triumphantly at the Third Young Master.

Seeing this, the Third Young Master became anxious and looked anxiously at Wu Liang.

"Father, you can't show favoritism!"

"I was the one who arrived first! I am the eldest son, and I am your own son!"

After being cleansed by the River of Forgotten Home, the Third Young Master lost all his memories, but old habits die hard.

His temperament still retains some of his former traits.

Seeing that Lady Hong was getting the benefits, he couldn't sit still any longer and kept trying to win her favor.

"Yes, children, everyone has them."

Wu Liang glanced at him with a half-smile.

Without further ado, he handed over the eight Blood Path Mushrooms he had previously refined to the Third Young Master.

The Third Young Master is also a mid-level second-tier mushroom master. If he can refine all these second-tier bloodline mushrooms, he would be a good piece of the game.

It should be very effective in helping him deal with some small fry, or in using the new killing move he devised to deal with the White Horn leader.

"Thank you, Father!"

The third young master never expected that his father would give him so many mushrooms!
He was beaming with excitement and proudly raised his chin at Madam Red.

Madam Hong snorted coldly, quite displeased.

Wu Liang had no time to deal with this drama of rivals vying for favor.

He gave some casual instructions, left some silver liquid, and told them to hurry up and refine the mushrooms before leaving the Demon Suppression Tower.

……

Blackhorn Tribe.

After leaving the Demon Suppression Tower, Wu Liang immediately headed to the tiger-skin tent where Morobi was located.

Every single Blackhorn Mushroom Master we encountered along the way had a vermilion dot on their forehead.

This situation is strikingly similar to that of the family members who split up back then.

"Morobi does have some tricks up her sleeve..."

"In just three days, all the mushroom growers in the entire Black Horn tribe had their mushrooms planted in pots by her."

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, taking in everything.

He has been spending most of his time refining mushrooms lately.

Therefore, the task of enslaving the Blackhorn Mushroom Master was basically handled by Morobi.

The fact that Morobi was able to forcibly enslave all the Blackhorn Mushroom Masters in such a short time is enough to show just how extraordinary her abilities are.

"High Priest...Greetings, High Priest..."

As before, all the black horn mushroom masters along the way bowed their heads in respect when they saw Wu Liang.

However, compared to before, this group of black horn mushroom masters were clearly somewhat fearful, and there was also a hint of hatred in their eyes.

Clearly, because of the mushrooms planted in the pot, this group of black horn mushroom growers already harbored resentment towards Wu Liang and Morobi.

However, neither Wu Liang nor Morobi cared about this at all.

After all, in their eyes, these Blackhorn Mushroom Masters were nothing more than a bunch of cannon fodder.

Once this matter is resolved, it remains to be seen whether any of these mushroom masters will survive and travel with them to the North Sea.

In this situation, the secret resentment of these black horn mushroom growers is of little concern to them.

Before long, Wu Liang lifted the tiger-skin tent flap and walked inside with practiced ease.

This time, Morobi did not give Wu Liang a good look, as she did not soak in the medicinal bath.

She sat inside the large tent, refining a certain type of powerful mushroom.

Wu Liang found the mushroom quite familiar; it was floating above her chest.

Wu Liang took a closer look and immediately recognized the mushroom.

It turns out this mushroom is none other than the three-turn Horizontal Rush Mushroom she obtained from the Black Horn Mushroom Room!
