Mushroom Man

Chapter 297 A Minor Shock, A Broom Star!
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy!"

Bone Master noticed this scene instantly.

His face lit up with joy, and he immediately shouted out.

Wu De, also known as Wu Liang, seemed to be unaccustomed to this physical body, and his reactions were extremely slow.

It took him a long while to come to his senses.

"I am alive..."

Wu Liang muttered to himself, blinked, and his face regained its radiance.

His resurrection and possession of Wu De's body were so smooth that he could hardly believe it, and it all felt somewhat unreal.

If he hadn't already been able to feel the vibrant life force emanating from his new body, it would have been completely real.

He probably thought he was lost on the road to the underworld, and that it was all just an illusion.

"This feeling is good, very good..."

Wu Liang stretched out his fair palm, feeling the vigorous vitality and abundant lifespan, and a spirited smile appeared on his face.

This body is infinitely better than his old, withered, and decaying body, which was nearing the end of its lifespan.

Although this body, which was forcibly awakened and restored to activity due to the effects of the separation of the nine clans, was severely depleted.

But these trivial matters were of no concern to Wu Liang.

Given some time, he can replenish the deficiencies in this body at any time using blood-based methods.

Apart from having a second-grade aptitude and a cultivation level of only mid-stage second rank, Wu De's physical body is basically without any other flaws.

In Wu Liang's view, these two defects were not a problem at all and could be resolved at any time.

First, there's the aptitude of a Grade B Dantian, something he had already prepared for.

The reason Wu Liang refined the Blood Skull Mushroom was to sacrifice his old body to create a new one, thereby regaining his first-class aptitude.

This is one of the reasons why he deliberately left his old body behind.

As for cultivation level, that goes without saying...

For Wu Liang, dropping his cultivation level to the middle stage of the second stage could be considered a good thing in some ways.

After all, if he wanted to restore his cultivation, it would only take him less than a day to return to the third level.

Don't forget, Wu Liang still has two second-stage relic mushrooms that he hasn't used yet.

Originally, this was obtained through a special transaction between the eldest and second young masters in order to refine the Tai Sui Mushroom.

However, nowadays, using it to restore one's cultivation level is clearly more important than using it to refine Tai Sui mushrooms.

Moreover, Wu Liang's cultivation level has been raised again, from the middle stage of the second rank to the third rank. He might even stimulate Jian Shouqing, thus gaining at least three or four hidden secrets for free.

This is the most important thing for him!
That's why, to some extent, this can be considered a good thing.

If this is feasible, Wu Liang could even lower his cultivation level and repeatedly improve it to obtain the secrets of the "Seeing Hands Blue" skill for free.

Wu Liang was lost in thought, but he quickly regained his composure and focused on the present moment.

He shook his head, trying to adjust to his new body, and tried to stand up.

Bone Master wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by his hand.

Wu Liang tried four or five times before he slowly stood up.

"It seems that it will take some time before I can fully adapt to this body."

He stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang should have been able to adapt to his new body after absorbing Wu De's soul.

The reason for this effect is entirely due to his soul, which was so severely damaged that it is now being nurtured in a flea.

In other words, Wu Liang's soul was not completely integrated into this physical body, but rather existed through the body controlled by the Soul-Swallowing Flea.

This is precisely why it leads to difficulty in adapting and slow reaction.

Solving this problem is actually quite simple...

He only needs to spend some time restoring his shattered soul to its original state and resolving any hidden dangers.

At that time, he will no longer need the soul-possessing flea. He will only need to detach from it and completely integrate into his physical body to achieve perfect unity of body and soul.

However, this is clearly not the time to worry about these things.

Whether it's restoring one's aptitude and cultivation level, or resolving hidden dangers in the soul, these issues must be addressed only after everything has settled down.

Now, his plan to escape this predicament is only one step away from completion.

And this final link...

Without a doubt, it is about confronting Zhuge Huowang head-on and pursuing freedom!
Thinking of this, Wu Liang reached out and beckoned, saying, "Gu Lai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Six-Turn Immortal Mushroom in his old body saw the blue mushroom and flew out without hesitation.

'What!!!'

'The special envoy actually possesses a magical mushroom!'

Upon witnessing this scene, Bone Immortal was deeply shocked.

The green mushroom only recognizes Wu Liang, and like a love mushroom, it is inseparable from him.

Even though Wu Liang had died once, and his soul was tainted by the aura of the underworld, severing the connection with his old body, he could still recognize him.

Wu Liang then simply shouted once and directly entered his body, taking root in his dantian.

"What are you standing there for? Return all my mushrooms!"

Wu Liang did not shy away from mentioning Gu Zhenren.

After all, if everything goes smoothly, this guy will be spending a long time in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Therefore, even if they find out something they shouldn't know, there's no need to worry about anything being hidden.

"okay!"

Bone Master was completely unaware of this and quickly recovered from the shock of seeing the blue hand.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately returned all the mushrooms that Wu Liang had entrusted to him.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Liang used the aura of the immortal mushrooms exhaled by the green mushroom to refine all the mushrooms in an instant.

To Master Gu, this scene was truly like that of a celestial being.

This kind of shock is no less than facing the Mushroom Fairy directly.

Wu Liang did not waste his breath explaining back and forth.

At his command, Bone Master relaxed his mind and took him into the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

After Wu Liang finished doing all this, he immediately looked up at the sky with a deep gaze. Didn't that guy think he was the reincarnation of some formless celestial being?
Alright, then he'll make them understand what the price will be for underestimating a 'reincarnation of a Venerable One'.

They thought that by confining him to the blessed land, they could render him helpless and allow him to be slaughtered at their mercy.

joke!

Now it's time to give Zhuge Huowang a little shock...

……

Yuan Tu Temple.

After a few rounds of drinks, Zhuge Huowang and Mei Daoren had already started to put their arms around each other's shoulders and address each other as brothers.

"Fellow Daoist, you are truly a kindred spirit to me."

"Here, this cup is a toast to you."

The Taoist priest grinned, raised his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Huowang couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

'It's been a long time since I've encountered such an easily fooled mushroom fairy.'

'This person is quite to my liking; perhaps I can find an opportunity to lure him into the Holy Cult and have him contribute to its glory.'

With his mind racing, he ignored the occasional glances from the demonic mushroom immortals and immediately drank cup after cup with the moldy Taoist.

The poor Taoist priest was completely unaware of this.

The way he was seen with his arm around Zhuge Huowang led the group of Beihai Demonic Immortals to secretly label him as having ties to the Holy Sect.

This is exactly the result that Zhuge Huowang wanted to see.

After all, the Holy Church has a terrible reputation, so if they want to recruit people, this kind of despicable method is the most effective.

However, what Zhuge Huowang didn't know was...

Compared to his ulterior motives, the Taoist priest also had his share of petty schemes.

'Hehe, this fellow Daoist is truly fair-skinned, making one's heart flutter.'

'This is the first mushroom fairy who has not disliked my appearance and has taken the initiative to approach me.'

'It's a pity that getting close to me often leads to misfortune.'

'I reckon this fellow Daoist will soon be in big trouble.'

'But that's fine too. I can then play the hero and win the heart of this handsome man.'

The Taoist priest remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was worried about Zhuge Huowang's health.

At this moment, he was already plotting how to obtain Zhuge Huowang.

Zhuge Huowang was completely unaware of all of this.

He was even more unaware that the Taoist's natal mushroom was actually a mushroom of bad luck.

Those who refine the Mushroom of Misfortune will be plagued by bad luck and become exceptionally unfortunate throughout their lives.

Furthermore, bad luck can be contagious, bringing misfortune to others.

That's why the Taoist priest Mei gave himself such an unpleasant Taoist name.

He was like a jinx; whoever got close to him would be doomed.

At this moment, if someone possessed the ability to observe fortune, they would see wisps of black smoke rising from the pillar of fortune above Zhuge Huowang's head...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Both Mei Daoren and Zhuge Huowang showed signs of drunkenness on their faces.

The wine and spirits served at the banquet hosted by the Ancestor Yuan Tu were naturally no ordinary items.

These wines are all brewed from certain blood-path immortal ingredients through the digestive system.

Therefore, even immortals, if they indulge in drinking, will become so drunk that they lose consciousness.

Fortunately, both Zhuge Huowang and Mei Daoren knew their limits.

Once they felt tipsy, they immediately stopped drinking and toasting.

The main event of this banquet has yet to begin.

If you drink yourself into unconsciousness at this point, you'll be at a huge loss.

The main event that all the immortals were waiting for was actually presenting gifts to celebrate the birthday.

However, simply offering gifts to celebrate a birthday is not enough to make the immortals value it so much.

The most important aspect behind the birthday celebration and the gifts offered is the attitude of the Old Ancestor Yuan Tu towards everyone.

Of course, only mushroom immortals from various forces, like Zhuge Huowang, cared so much about the attitude of Ancestor Yuan Tu.

Rogue cultivators like Mei Daoren were merely offering birthday gifts in hopes of receiving a random reward from Ancestor Yuan Tu.

For this reason, as the banquet drew to a close, Zhuge Huowang and the others did not rush to present their birthday gifts.

Only the rogue cultivators, including the Taoist Master Mei, stood up one after another, respectfully offering birthday gifts in an attempt to please Ancestor Yuan Tu.

"This junior thanks Ancestor Yuan Tu for his kind hospitality."

"Knowing that today is Ancestor Yuan Tu's birthday, I have specially prepared a flesh lotus flower. I hope Ancestor will not find it offensive..."

When it was the turn of the Moldy Daoist, he did not hesitate to take out a Blood Dao Immortal Herb and offer it to the Yuan Tu Ancestor.

Among the group of rogue cultivators, his birthday gift wasn't particularly impressive, but the fact that he specifically chose the Blood Path showed that he had put thought into it.

The aged Yuan Tu Ancestor slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at the moldy Taoist, and then said, "Not bad, reward him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rakshasa female immortal under his command smiled and rewarded the Unlucky Taoist with a piece of immortal material for improving one's luck.

Clearly, Ancestor Yuan Tu recognized the style of the Fate Daoist, which is why he specially bestowed upon him the Immortal Material of Fortune.

The Unlucky Taoist made a huge profit by exchanging a Blood Dao Immortal Material for an extremely rare Fortune Dao Immortal Material.

The Taoist priest thanked the Ancestor Yuan Tu with a delighted smile, then looked at Zhuge Huowang with a grin.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm quite lucky. Now it's up to you..."

As he spoke, the Taoist priest winked and made faces at Zhuge Huowang.

Zhuge Huowang chuckled, just about to say something.

At that moment, he had a sudden realization.

It turns out it was that little guy 'Wu De' who sent the message.

"Master, your disciple has finished cutting down the tree and prepared the birthday gifts, which are ready for your perusal at any time..."
