Mushroom Man

Chapter 261 Five Flying Zombies, Golden Rooster Meets Relatives

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Gu Zhenren noticed the change in Wu Liang's tone and immediately became serious, no longer saying anything more.

Before long, at Wu Liang's instruction, he handed over his White Bone Corpse Demon inheritance.

As is well known, the Zombie Transformation School has five major flying zombies, each with a formidable reputation.

These five flying zombies are Blood Demon Corpse, White Bone Corpse Demon, Five Plague Zombies, Nightmare Corpse Zombie, and Asura Corpse King.

The White Bone Corpse Demon of Bone True Man and the Blood Ghost Heavenly Corpse of Ink Doctor Corpse are among these five flying zombies.

White Bone Corpse Demon Gundam 5th Rank.

Because he lacked fourth-level jumping zombie mushrooms and fifth-level flying zombie mushrooms, Bone Master could only refine third-level corpse bone zombies.

If you have a fourth-level jumping zombie mushroom, you can refine a fourth-level skeleton corpse.

Similarly, if you have a Rank 5 Flying Zombie Mushroom, you can refine it into a Rank 5 Flying Zombie White Bone Corpse Demon!

However, this is not the limit!
Based on an ancient incomplete recipe for the Drought Demon Mushroom, Bone Master once deduced a method for refining bones that would not dissolve.

If the mushroom recipe is correct, the White Bone Corpse Demon has a good chance of continuing its cultivation until it can glimpse the wonders of immortality.

Of course, the fact that his bones wouldn't dissolve is a matter of great importance to Bone Immortal. Whether he could ascend to immortality in his zombie form in the future is something that cannot be easily revealed.

Although in his view, Wu Liang, as a disciple of an immortal, had a limitless future, even if he knew about the Undying Bone, he probably wouldn't take such a crooked path.

but……

As the saying goes, caution is the best policy; it's better to be safe than sorry.

Therefore, he kept his guard up and did not reveal the matter of the incorruptible bones to Wu Liang.

It only provided the methods for refining the three: the White Bone Corpse Demon, the White Bone Corpse, and the Corpse Bone Zombie.

However, this was more than enough for Wu Liang.

"A skeleton..."

After digesting the inheritance of the White Bone Corpse Demon, Wu Liang stroked his chin, lost in thought.

He now possesses a four-turn jumping mushroom.

If one wants to refine a corpse, a fourth-stage white bone corpse is undoubtedly the most suitable.

To create a fourth-level skeleton corpse, one must find a place to nurture the corpse.

In addition, we also need to use Corpse Mushroom, Death Mushroom, White Bone Mushroom, etc. as auxiliary materials.

A corpse-raising site is easy to arrange...

After all, this Soul-Soothing Ridge is more than enough to be a place for raising corpses.

The only tricky part is finding mushrooms like the Corpse Mushroom.

"Corpse Qi Mushroom and White Bone Mushroom are relatively easy to deal with; Master Bone definitely has them."

"As for Death Aura Mushrooms, I only have second-tier ones on hand, while a third-tier Death Aura Mushroom is needed to refine the White Bone Corpse."

"To refine the Death Aura Mushroom, it is undoubtedly necessary to collect a large amount of Death Aura."

"The death energy I have now has long been exhausted on the White Horn leader."

"What should I do now..."

Wu Liang frowned, lost in thought.

After a short while, he seemed to have thought of something, and his brows gradually relaxed.

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked up at Jinji Mountain and the sea of ​​red spider lilies.

I almost forgot, this is the blessed land of the Soul Path Mushroom Immortal, how could it be lacking in death energy?

The Soul-Destroying Ridge alone contains a large amount of death energy.

However, since this place is intended to be a place for raising corpses, collecting the death energy here is not a wise choice.

If the death energy in the corpse-raising ground is depleted, something bad will definitely happen.

If that's the case, why not visit the other two places in this blessed land of Tsukasa Village?

I imagine that Golden Rooster Mountain and the Sea of ​​Red Spider Lilies must be teeming with lifelessness.

Wu Liang, thinking of this, had no intention of delaying.

He immediately invited Bone Immortal to go with him to Golden Rooster Mountain and the Sea of ​​Red Spider Lilies.

Time is of the essence.

He has very little time left to live; he must act quickly...

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Inside a teahouse in the Western Regions.

The scholar-like man, dressed as a know-it-all, leisurely sipped his tea.

Just then, one of his men came to report.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the reclusive old immortal has agreed to your request and is willing to escort you to the North Sea."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng put down his teacup and breathed a sigh of relief.

"They finally agreed."

"If it weren't for the fact that my ancestors still had some influence, I'm afraid it would be quite difficult to persuade the immortals."

Bai Xiaosheng was deeply moved.

His ancestors were Taoist immortals who believed in the Pure Land of Buddhism and left behind many good things, including the Demon-Slaying List.

As for something like the Demon-Slaying List, a mere mortal mushroom master like him certainly couldn't keep it; he could only hand it over to the Buddhist sect for safekeeping.

However, as the nominal master of the Demon-Slaying List, the Buddhist sect did not act so blatantly, still retaining some negligible control over him.

It is precisely because of this that he can only control the Demon-Slaying List and the control over updating the text that Bai Xiaosheng has gradually risen to where he is today.

Furthermore, because he worked for the Buddhist community, he has accumulated a considerable network of connections over the years.

Now, he, the successor of the Formless One, is able to connect with the immortals.

The legacy of their ancestors and the connections they've built up over the years undoubtedly proved invaluable.

"I was able to rely on the immortals to escape the Western Regions and go to the North Sea. I was already very lucky. Ordinary people could never do such a thing."

"I wonder how the other disciples of the Formless lineage are doing?"

"If I'm not mistaken, there will likely be quite a few disciples of the Wuxiang lineage absent from the next gathering of swindlers..."

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, clearly not optimistic about the other disciples of the Formless Sect. After all, not everyone could escape the inescapable net like him.
As far as he knew, many of the disciples of the Formless lineage had already been captured by the immortals.

It's estimated that those Wuxiang disciples who fall into the hands of immortals won't have a good ending.

Bai Xiaosheng's mind raced, recalling the news he had received from the Buddhist sect earlier that day...

Three evil figures from the Holy Cult appeared at Bajiao Mountain: Wu Zhenren, Gu Zhenren, and Gu Zhenren.

The White Horn Leader and the Black Horn Leader, two fourth-level mushroom masters, died at the hands of the Holy Church.

According to the Buddhist investigation, these people's purpose was to seize the wandering centipede and leave the Western Regions through the earth's veins.

Clearly, there must be a successor among these three.

"Earth veins..."

“During the previous scam, a woman mentioned the earth veins, so that person must be one of these three.”

"Among these three, only the Martial Immortal Morobi is a woman, and her identity is self-evident."

"As for the Mushroom Master and the Bone Master, there are no additional clues. They should be mushroom masters from the Holy Sect."

With just a thought, Bai Xiaosheng uncovered the secrets of a successor of the Wuxiang lineage.

As far as he knew, the earth veins, this route to escape the Western Regions, had already been noticed by the immortals in the heavens.

If this Morobi truly is walking on the earth's veins, it's likely we'll never see her again in the next scam.

In his mind, Bai Xiaosheng silently crossed out the name of Morobi.

"Besides Morobi, there's also Bailai, who seems to be nearing death as well."

"Today, someone saw a sword monk near the boundary wall capturing a young man and fighting fiercely with the Holy Sect Immortal Zhuge Huowang."

"Based on the portrait on the Demon Slayer List, it has been confirmed that the young man is Bai Lai, the successor of Wuxiang."

"In such a short period of time, two of the eight successors of the Formless lineage have already been eliminated."

"So these successors of the Formless lineage don't seem so impressive after all..."

Thinking of this, Bai Xiaosheng's confidence grew even stronger.

For him, the fewer the successors of the Formless lineage, the better, and ideally they should all be mediocre people.

In this way, he would have a greater chance of being able to enjoy the Void Treasury all to himself.

However, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to realize something soon, and his inflated confidence subsided.

"We cannot underestimate the other successors of the Formless lineage..."

"After all, not everyone is like Morobi and Bailai, those two mediocre people who have already been eliminated."

"You should know that among the successors of the Formless lineage, there is also a little devil named Wu Liang who was able to kill a fifth-level mushroom master with only a second-level cultivation."

Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of apprehension flashing in them.

"This guy is no ordinary person!"

"Ever since the commotion in Zhaodi Town, this person has vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air."

"The others who have no successor have all revealed some traces, but this person has disappeared without a trace."

"I wonder where this little devil Wu Liang went, managing to evade the Buddhist sect's thorough search..."

……

Tomb Village, a blessed land.

Wu Liang and Gu Zhenren, relying on the Calm Mushroom, once again safely passed through the Whispering Forest.

The whispering forest, the underworld, has buried countless people, and the aura of death is equally thick there.

So along the way, Wu Liang used the Death Mushroom to consume a lot of death energy.

However, this amount of death energy is far from enough to refine the Death Energy Mushroom.

Therefore, Wu Liang and Gu Zhenren had no choice but to continue searching for the death energy and exploring the blessed land.

Before long, they saw the Golden Rooster Mountain that the madmen had mentioned earlier...

Jinji Mountain has two towering peaks, and the rooster's beak is like an iron hook, pecking at people's souls.

The ridge of Jinji Mountain is steep, and you have to climb it step by step, just like climbing from the back of a rooster to its comb, to reach the top of the mountain.

Faintly, one could still hear the crowing of roosters coming from the mountains.

Wu Liang gazed at Jinji Mountain, not daring to venture into it rashly, lest he suffer the same danger as he had at Xiaohun Ridge.

Third turn—peeking at the mushrooms!

The next moment, Wu Liang's eyes became furtive.

The scene of Jinji Mountain appeared before his eyes.

There seems to be human habitation on Jinji Mountain...

The land there has been cultivated into fertile fields, where various kinds of mushrooms are grown.

These mushrooms, each with a different number of turns, emitted a faint, shimmering light.

Among them, Wu Liang even saw immortal materials that he had only heard of before but had never seen before!
What are the materials for immortality?

Mushroom masters need mushroom materials to refine mushrooms, while immortals need immortal materials to refine immortal mushrooms.

Rare and precious materials are often found only in wondrous places.

The magical herbs planted on Golden Rooster Mountain are golden, gleaming wheat plants laden with fruit.

Its surface is brimming with Daoist essence, seemingly some kind of immortal material for the Daoist path.

However, such divine materials seem to be merely fodder for the soul beasts on Golden Rooster Mountain.

That's right!

A group of spirit beasts live on Golden Rooster Mountain.

These spirit beasts resemble golden roosters, proud and majestic.

They vary in number of revolutions; there are at least a thousand fifth-revolution golden rooster soul beasts, too many to count.

As for whether there were any sixth-level immortal soul beasts among them, Wu Liang had no idea.

Before he could even take a closer look, his attention was drawn to someone he never expected to be there...

The man was busy in the field, pulling weeds and feeding the chickens, thoroughly enjoying himself.

And this person was none other than...

"Wu De?"
