Mushroom Man

Chapter 256 Taking stock of the spoils, utterly uninteresting.

Go all out, mushroom!
The sole purpose of this mushroom is to allow the mushroom grower to fully utilize their abilities.

For those Mushroom Masters who cultivate the Beast Power style, they can create Beast Power Phantoms with 100% accuracy.

Without a doubt, in the hands of a master mushroom master, the All-Out Mushroom is no less powerful than the Heavenly Origin Lingzhi Mushroom, and may even be superior.

The reason why Morobi was so powerful was that she was able to fight against a fourth-level mushroom master with her peak third-level cultivation. Her all-out efforts were indispensable.

Now that this mushroom is in Wu Liang's hands, it might just shine and make a difference.

Imagine if Wu Liang were to one day emulate the legendary immortal Zhao Longxiang and refine 365 Divine Elephant Suppressing Mushrooms.

At that time, they will go all out to refine the mushroom into a celestial mushroom, and you can imagine how terrifying it will be.

With a single punch, 365 divine elephants appeared, destroying the heavens and the earth, covering the sky with their single hand, suppressing all enemies in the world with absolute power.

Clearly, going all out symbolizes a smooth and successful path.

but……

Wu Liang toyed with the All-Out Mushroom, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

If you want to focus all your efforts on mushrooms and embark on this smooth path to success, you must master the art of strength.

Furthermore, because the Dao traces are mutually exclusive, he also has to give up the cultivation of other schools.

At present, he has only refined a White Elephant Giant Mushroom, and the problem of mutual repulsion of Dao traces has already begun to emerge.

If one continues to focus on physical strength, refining the body and processing various beast-power mushrooms, the problem of mutual repulsion between Dao traces will likely become increasingly serious.

Who knows, by then, Wu Liang might not even be able to control the Human Face Impermanence at will.

This was, without a doubt, unacceptable to him.

The importance of the fact that human faces are ever-changing is self-evident.

This is his strongest killing move; even though its construction is not yet perfect, it can still fool a fifth-level mushroom master.

How could he easily give up such a deadly move?

And that's not all...

Even if Wu Liang were willing to give up his intangible human form and instead focus on physical strength, he might not be that strong and would certainly not be as good as Morobi.

After all, he didn't have a complete inheritance of power at all.

While relying solely on the "All-Out Mushroom" might allow him to achieve some success in strength, it is ultimately too one-dimensional and insufficient to qualify him as a prodigy.

Moreover, to develop the Power Style with the All-Out Mushroom as its core, Wu Liang must refine the All-Out Mushroom.

Putting that aside for now, the All-Out Mushroom has become extinct, the recipe for it has been lost, and there is no further method for its refinement.

Even if Wu Liang could rely on Yan Zhaodi to deduce the subsequent mushroom recipe,

To avoid failure and damage to the mushroom, he would definitely put all his efforts into cultivating this one and only seedling into his natal mushroom.

As everyone knows, if the mushroom ascension fails, only the native mushroom will remain undamaged.

This is one of the reasons why Morobi chose the All-Out Mushroom as her natal mushroom.

But for Wu Liang, this was something that was difficult to accomplish.

After all, his natal mushroom is the sixth-rank immortal mushroom, the Bodhi Seedless Mushroom, which cannot be easily replaced.

At least for now, he cannot influence the Blue-and-White Mushroom, nor can he change his natal mushroom.

In conclusion, while going all out is certainly good, it doesn't seem to have as much effect on Wu Liang as one might imagine.

Wu Liang cultivated his strength solely to compensate for his weaknesses.

Before he learned about the mutual repulsion of Dao traces, he was quite envious of Morobi's all-out effort.

But now that we know about the mutual repulsion of Dao traces, this all-out effort technique in his hands will probably only be useful at the third stage of transformation...

"The easier something is to obtain, the less we know how to cherish it."

"Before I got the All-Out Mushroom, I was incredibly excited about it, but now that I have it, it's kind of boring..."

Wu Liang chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing that he had indeed been a bit greedy.

They want everything, but are still not satisfied after getting it.

He shook his head and silently resolved that he must correct this greedy habit in the future, otherwise he might suffer the consequences one day.

Wu Liang put away the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom and the All-Out Effort Mushroom, and turned his attention to the Eavesdropping Mushroom, the Peeping Mushroom, the Forcibly Taken Mushroom, and the Robbing Mushroom.

Without exception, all four mushrooms were stolen mushrooms.

Compared to the airway mushrooms he discarded, these pilfering mushrooms were undoubtedly more valuable.

After all, in the mushroom world, smuggling is rare, mushrooms are scarce, and smuggled mushrooms are seldom seen on the market.

Wu Liang, on the other hand, has now obtained four stolen mushrooms in one fell swoop, making a huge profit!
"Eavesdropping mushrooms and peeping mushrooms are both third-tier reconnaissance mushrooms."

"One can eavesdrop on sounds within a certain range, and the other can peek at things within a certain range."

"It also has strong concealment and is difficult to be detected."

"At the same time, if there are mushroom masters, they can communicate using mushrooms like the Messenger Mushroom, and they can also eavesdrop using the Eavesdropping Mushroom."

"Compared to odor-detecting mushrooms, these two mushrooms are less effective at detection, but they may be surprisingly effective in certain special circumstances."

Wu Liang was quite satisfied with the two mushrooms.

With a sudden thought, he immediately activated the two mushrooms that were used for eavesdropping and peeping.

In an instant, his ears twitched, and he heard the sounds of Yan Zhaodi digging a grave for the Third Young Master several feet away.

The next moment, he blinked and saw the Bone Immortal on the ninth floor, absorbing the corpse energy in the blood pool.

The entire process was extremely secretive; neither Yan Zhaodi nor Gu Zhenren noticed, while Wu Liang was secretly eavesdropping and watching from the side. "Good, very good."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, put away the eavesdropping mushroom and the peeping mushroom, and turned his attention to the forcibly taking mushroom and the plundering mushroom.

Compared to eavesdropping or peeping, this kind of espionage mushroom is more like a detective espionage tactic.

"Stealing mushrooms" and "plundering mushrooms" are truly thieving mushrooms, specifically designed to steal other people's mushrooms.

The first step is to use the third turn to forcefully extract mushrooms.

This mushroom can be forcibly ingested from the mushroom growers and even the mushroom animals.

However, there are many limitations. The higher the target's rotation level, the more difficult the process becomes, and the more true energy is consumed.

If the attempt to seize the mushroom fails, the mushroom master will suffer a backlash.

Normally, it can only be activated on targets that have lost consciousness or the ability to act.

Of course, even so, this mushroom was of great use to Wu Liang.

With this mushroom, Wu Liang gained the ability to extract the mushrooms from other mushroom masters.

The mushroom masters that Wu Liang had previously defeated were mostly wasted because they lacked the means to seize the mushrooms.

However, now that we have this Mushroom, we should have another way to obtain mushrooms when we capture enemies in the future.

As for the third-stage Mushroom Stealing, its function is almost the same as Mushroom Stealing, which is to steal the mushrooms from the target.

However, Mushroom Stealing works on targets that are unconscious or incapacitated, while Mushroom Stealing works on the opposite.

To seize a mushroom, the target must be fully aware of their surroundings. Once the mushroom master activates the mushroom, they can engage in a battle of wills with the target.

As we all know, the process of refining mushrooms is the will of the mushroom master, which is to eliminate the wild nature of the mushrooms.

The "Seize the Mushroom" ability grants the mushroom master the power to compete with others for control of the mushrooms, to replace the will left by others on the mushrooms with their own will, and to forcibly refine it.

During this process, as long as the mushroom master can suppress the target's will, the target will not be able to self-destruct, which is extremely domineering.

However, while this mushroom is highly effective, it also has many limitations.

If a mushroom master fails to resist the opponent's will and fails to seize the opponent's mushrooms, they will inevitably suffer a backlash.

As the saying goes, "Trying to steal a chicken only results in losing the rice instead."

Whether it's stealing or robbing, it's an extremely risky process.

When you try to steal someone else's mushrooms, you must be prepared to suffer a backlash if you fail.

"Unfortunately, the one-eyed man we captured after the auction has already been used as material for refining blood-path mushrooms."

"Otherwise, I'd really like to try using the 'Forced Mushroom' to see if I can snatch that mushroom that guy uses to launch the Moon Blade..."

Wu Liang murmured to himself, feeling a pang of regret.

However, as long as he is alive, he will eventually find an opportunity to try the mushrooms.

He didn't dwell on it too much and quickly put the two mushrooms away.

Now, most of the spoils from the battle against the White Horn Tribe have been tallied, leaving only the last mushroom...

Fourth Transformation - Wind-Riding Mushroom!

Wu Liang stroked the mushroom, his eyes narrowing slightly.

This mushroom's movement speed was previously demonstrated by the White Horn Leader.

The White Horn leader was able to remain invincible precisely because of this mushroom.

If Wu Liang and his companions hadn't come up with the quick thinking to use the narrow and enclosed environment of the mushroom cave to restrict the movement of the Wind-Riding Mushroom, the outcome might have been uncertain.

"Right now, for me, the cost-effectiveness of a level 4 Windwalker is not as good as that of a level 3 Jetshroom."

"If I were to activate the fourth-level Wind-Riding Mushroom, my true energy would be completely depleted in an instant. I can only save it as a trump card for escaping in the future..."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

It was supposed to be a trump card for escaping, but in the current situation, it seems utterly useless.

Even if the speed of a fourth-stage Wind-Riding Mushroom is fast, can it still outrun an immortal?
"My days are numbered..."

Wu Liang slowly stood up, gazing at the shimmering Wangxiang River with a melancholy look in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that his lifespan was rapidly slipping away.

As is well known, the flow of time within the Immortal Paradise is different from that in the outside world.

Wu Liang had no idea exactly how much faster or slower it would be.

All he knew was that when he attacked the White Horn tribe, there were only four days left before the deception was to begin.

He has already spent a day in the blessed land, but according to the feedback from the Wuxiang Order, the remaining time has not changed at all.

This shows that time in the outside world may not even have passed in a day.

in this case……

If Wu Liang were to remain in this blessed land where time flows so rapidly, he might very well die here from exhaustion of his lifespan in just a few days outside.

Therefore, the most urgent task at present is to find a way to leave this blessed land as soon as possible.

At the same time, we should also begin to prepare methods to prolong life, so as not to die here before we have a chance to leave this blessed land due to lifespan issues.

"This blessed land is the elixir field of immortals."

"I am but a mortal mushroom grower, and my understanding of this blessed land is limited to this; I know very little..."
