Mushroom Man

Chapter 281 Bai Lai Goes Mad, Borrowing the Formless Token
"Brother Bai..."

Hua Youque opened his mouth, wanting to continue the conversation and find out more about that Mushroom Master.

However, before he could say anything, Bai Lai immediately interrupted him.

"Who is your Brother Bai? Who are you trying to get close to?"

"If you're going to call someone, call them Master Bai!"

Ever since Bai Zi was captured by the sword monk, he has become extremely irritable, for reasons unknown.

If it were before, Bai Lai would never have made such a fuss and offended these Wuxiang disciples.

But now, perhaps because he felt he could not escape from the sword monk's clutches and that his life was nearing its end.

Under these circumstances, Bai Lai naturally wouldn't hold back his anger any longer.

Now, all he wants is to vent his frustrations and express his anger before he dies.

That's why he started to speak without restraint, saying whatever came to mind without any hesitation.

Hua Youque, of course, was unaware of this, wondering what Bai Lai was up to.

After being insulted time and again, even though Hua Youque was extremely good at maintaining his composure, he still couldn't help but feel a bit angry.

As the saying goes, even a clay figure has a bit of fire in it, let alone a flawed flower.

His gaze turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

This person has already found a way to die.

'Don't let me find out where this guy is, or I'll make sure he sees how powerful my master, the Unlucky Taoist, is.'

"Not talking? Pretending to be mute?"

"What? You look down on your Master Bai?"

"Weren't you very talkative just now?"

"Could it be that he feels guilty?"

"As expected, you must be that damned Mushroom Master."

"Aaaaah, give me back my Heavenly Origin Lingzhi Mushroom, you bastard!"

Bai Lai acted like a shrewish countrywoman, throwing a tantrum and showing no demeanor whatsoever as a mushroom master.

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed, constantly talking about Mushroom Master and Heavenly Origin Lingzhi Mushroom, which annoyed everyone.

In no time, the once sophisticated scam gathering was turned into a mess.

Who could have imagined that the Wuxiang disciples, who are now the talk of the town and enjoy unparalleled fame, are no different from those vulgar mortals?

If we were to ask who among the crowd was not influenced by Bai Lai, it would only be Wu Liang.

Wu Liang came with a mission this time.

He wouldn't waste his time on something that came for nothing, given his grand plan to escape this predicament.

"Master Wu..."

"Borrow your Formless Decree for a moment."

suddenly!

Wu Liang suddenly spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and revealed his all-out effort in front of everyone.

Wu Liang did not explain why he needed to borrow the Wuxiang Order; everything seemed so abrupt.

Those who understand will naturally understand, while those who don't will only be confused by such a simple sentence.

as predicted……

When everyone heard Wu Liang suddenly speak up and ask to borrow the Wuxiang Token, they were all stunned.

What is the Formless Order?
That is the most important thing to them, the inheritors of the Formless lineage.

Without the Wuxiang Order, one is no longer a Wuxiang successor.

Moreover, the Wuxiang Order is related to the Wuxiang Treasure Vault, which is their greatest opportunity as Wuxiang successors.

How could something like this be lent out just because of one person's word?
What if they borrow and never repay? Wouldn't that mean they're out of the game?

Honestly, if it were them, and someone suddenly asked to borrow the Wuxiang Token, they would definitely not even think twice and would just consider the person a joke.

Then everyone came to their senses, and their first thought was that this person had probably lost his mind and was daydreaming.

But no one expected...

Just then, a slightly hoarse and low female voice suddenly rang out.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you."

This statement brought a brief silence to the scam.

The next moment, everyone gasped in shock, utterly stunned.

No matter how hard they tried, they never imagined that someone would actually be willing to hand over the Formless Token.

Who are these two guys? Do they really trust each other that much?
Master Wu...

Wait, Master Wu?

Bai Lai, who had been shouting and babbling incessantly, was drawn in by the commotion of the two.

When he heard the name "Martial Master" and sensed the familiarity between the two men, he was immediately invigorated!
"Oh, so that's where you two were!"

"Master Wu, Master Gu, you two are a pair of treacherous people who don't keep their word."

"Damn it, don't think that just because you've put on a facade, changed your voice, or donned a disguise, I won't recognize you."

"Aaaaaah, give me back my Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom!"

Bai Lai recognized Wu Liang and Morobi, and was instantly furious, jumping up and down and cursing.

However, at this moment, neither Wu Liang nor Morobi had any intention of paying attention to this clown.

Morobi didn't even glance at Bailai.

In front of everyone, she threw her Wuxiang Token to Wu Liang without hesitation.

Some may wonder why Morobi would be willing to lend such a crucial item as the Formless Token to Wu Liang without a second thought.

Did she really trust Wu Liang that much? No, not at all...

The truth is, Morobi had no choice but to trust Wu Liang, as she had no room to refuse.

For Morobi, giving her all to the mushroom was far more important than the Formless Order.

She relies almost entirely on her all-out efforts to achieve her goals.

Without giving it her all, all her previous efforts would have been in vain.

If we were to rebuild the methods, it would require a lot of effort and time.

This was something that Morobi could never accept.

It was the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body that brought it success, and it was also the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body that brought it down.

Although the innate Dao body is wondrous beyond description, it is not tolerated by the will of Heaven, and throughout history, few people with a Dao body have become immortals.

The vast majority of those with innate Dao bodies will die young.

The reason lies in the excessively rapid growth of the true qi of the innate Dao body, which puts immense pressure on the dantian.

This is both a benefit and a drawback.

The advantage is that her true energy is increasing every moment, which makes Morobi's cultivation progress extremely fast. As long as she is alive, she can improve her cultivation.

The downside is that as the true qi grows endlessly, it will bring unimaginable pressure to the dantian.

Ultimately, the dantian will become overwhelmed and explode on the spot, causing the person to die from the explosion.

Of course, a breakthrough in cultivation can alleviate the pressure on the dantian to some extent.

However, this method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and it may even exacerbate the problem by making the internal energy worse.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more unstable one's physical body becomes, and one may explode and die at any time.

For this reason, Morobi used some means to solidify her dantian and suppress her true qi, thus temporarily keeping herself at the peak of the third stage.

However, as time went on, she became increasingly powerless and found it difficult to suppress the loosening of her cultivation.

In this situation, Morobi simply did not have the extra time to focus on rebuilding methods.

She absolutely has to get back the All-Out Mushroom!
Only in this way could Morobi use the beast power phantom to suppress her dantian and prevent herself from exploding when she was forced to become a fourth-level mushroom master.

That's right!

Going all out is not only about her combat strength, but also about her life.

Because Morobi's method of suppressing the dantian and preventing the body from exploding requires her to go all out.

Only then did she seem so concerned about losing the mushroom she had given her all to.

Compared to her all-out effort towards mushrooms, the Wuxiang Order was clearly not that important to her.

Indeed, the formless command represents the lineage of the Venerable One.

Losing the Wuxiang Order means losing one's status as the successor of Wuxiang.

But in Morobi's eyes, none of these things were as important as her own life.

As long as Morobi is alive, her achievements, given her Daoist body, may not be inferior to those who possess the lineage of Venerable Ones.

Therefore, for Morobi, whether or not she had the opportunity of the Formless Treasure Vault was not that important, at least not as important as her life at the moment.

Moreover, even if she hands over the Wuxiang Token, she may not necessarily lose her identity as the successor of Wuxiang, nor the opportunity to access the Wuxiang Treasure Vault.

What if Wu Liang keeps his promise and it really is just a loan?

Others might not know, but she knew very well that Wu Liang was a true 'disciple of an immortal'.

Such a being wouldn't deceive a mere mortal like her.

Moreover, if this guy really wanted the Wuxiang Token in her possession, there was absolutely no need for him to go through all this trouble.

He could have his master take action and snatch it directly from her.

Morobi didn't believe that the immortal would be unable to find her after letting her go.

That's why, after weighing the pros and cons, she made a very decisive decision and agreed to Wu Liang's seemingly unreasonable request without hesitation.

"very good……"

Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, Wu Liang accepted the Wuxiang Token and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he wasn't very confident about exchanging all his efforts for the Wuxiang Token.

After all, he wasn't entirely clear on just how important going all out was to Morobi.

He was merely using his status as a disciple of the immortal to gamble that Morobi would agree to his request.

If Morobi didn't agree, he was even prepared to take out the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom to exchange for the Formless Token from Bai.

The Formless Order is a crucial part of his grand plan to escape his predicament.

If none of these options work, then he will have no choice but to risk his life and try to deceive Zhuge Huowang.

Good thing...

Things were going even more smoothly than he had imagined.

Wu Liang felt somewhat relieved and, keeping his promise, casually returned the All-Out Mushroom, which he had wanted to use but couldn't, to Morobi.

Morobi eagerly accepted the mushroom, fearing that Wu Liang might go back on his word, and thus her tense nerves finally relaxed.

Having gone to great lengths to recover the mushroom, she, like Wu Liang, breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it's because they lost the Formless Token that they no longer qualify to enter the scam...

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Morobi's figure was rapidly fading away.

In an instant, the scene before Morobi's eyes returned to that dilapidated pirate ship.

She gazed at the ebb and flow of the tide and the surging waves of the sea, forcibly suppressing the anxiety and uncertainty she felt from losing the Wuxiang Command.

"if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate."

"Brother Mushroom, you are a disciple of an immortal, the man who beat me once."

"I hope you keep your word and it really is just a loan."

"Otherwise, if you force me out of the game using such methods, I won't respect you..."
