Mushroom Man

Chapter 309 The Secret of Freebies, Past Events of the Boundary Wall

"Five-turn Wind-Powered Mushroom..."

Wu Liang flipped his hand and revealed the Wind Power Mushroom that had been refined.

He raised an eyebrow, seemingly not expecting that Morobi would have such an opportunity, finding a Wind Mushroom with a rank of five so easily.

It's important to know that the Wind-shroom can be an excellent building block, whether it's used for wind tunnels or force.

It can only be said that he truly deserves the title of True Martial Demon-Slaying Body; he is indeed blessed by heaven.

Of course, compared to him, she seems to be a step behind.

After all, he picked the peach without lifting a finger, which can be considered a kind of natural advantage.

However, he found this rather strange...

Logically speaking, since he was reborn through possession, his luck had already plummeted to rock bottom.

In this situation, he shouldn't have approached the mushrooms who were offering themselves to him.

Those who can attract mushrooms to come to them are mostly people with abundant luck, or those with innate Dao bodies or even extraordinary individuals, beings who possess innate Dao traces.

Wu Liang's new body had neither wind nor power traces, so it made no sense that it would attract this wind mushroom.

"Could it be that I am naturally compatible with Morobi, and that she brings me good fortune?"

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why I always receive unexpected benefits whenever I encounter Morobi."

"I was incredibly lucky back in the White Horn Tribe, where I obtained the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom and the All-Out Effort Mushroom."

"Now that Wind Mushroom has come to me on its own initiative, it's possible that Morobi has actually boosted my luck."

Wu Liang stroked his chin, completely baffled by this.

The school of thought on fortune is very mysterious, and many things about it are difficult to explain.

However, in the mushroom world, luck is not an abstract concept, but a real thing.

That's why he had this wild idea, this sudden thought that Morobi had some kind of auspicious characteristics.

Of course, the reality is not like that...

In fact, there are only two reasons why Wind Mushroom took the initiative to leave the cave through Wu Liang.

Firstly, influenced by its wild will, the Wind Mushroom instinctively did not want to be refined by humans and wanted to escape from that cliff cave.

Secondly, the Wind-Powered Mushroom and the Dragon Elephant Cave are inextricably linked.

By sheer coincidence, Wu Liang possessed both the River-Turning Power Mushroom and the White Elephant Giant Power Mushroom.

These two mushrooms are the prerequisites for training the Dragon Elephant Giant Mushroom.

In a sense, Wu Liang is equivalent to half of the successor of the Dragon and Elephant lineage.

It was precisely because of these intricate connections that Wind Mushroom was able to hitch a ride with Wu Liang to escape the cave.

However, he had just escaped one danger only to fall into another, and in the end, it was Wu Liang who benefited.

"Oh well, these mushrooms are free, might as well take them."

Wu Liang accepted the mushroom without any qualms.

Even if he doesn't use a level 5 mushroom, he can sell it to someone else later to exchange for the resources he needs.

As for this mushroom that appeared out of nowhere, could it have been planted with some kind of magic?

Wu Liang was not worried about this.

After all, having been refined by the 'Seeing Hand Green', if it truly possessed any special abilities, it would probably have already vanished under the oppressive aura of the Immortal Mushroom.

"Next, I will restore my cultivation to the third level."

"Otherwise, with only a second-stage cultivation level, one would be too restricted in doing anything."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang sat cross-legged and immediately took out two second-turn relic mushrooms.

Now he has possessed Wu De's body and inherited his cultivation level of the second stage.

Two Relic Mushrooms are enough to get him to the peak of the second stage.

Both Wu Liang and Blood River Ancestor broke through the second stage of the shackles several times.

Therefore, for him, advancing from the peak of the second rank to the third rank was easier than drinking water, and he had no worries at all.

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he immediately looked inward at himself.

Now, because he possessed Wu De's body, his dantian has dropped from Grade A to Grade B.

Even so, a Grade B dantian is still many times better than his original Grade D dantian.

It's important to know that the upper limit of a Grade B Dantian is a fifth-level Mushroom Master, while a Grade D Dantian, no matter how hard one tries, can only reach the first or second level at most.

The second-grade dantian was filled with fertile soil, which was also the most suitable black soil for growing mushrooms.

However, compared to the soil of a top-grade dantian, its color is much lighter.

At the same time, the quality of true qi is not as pure and abundant as that of a first-grade dantian.

If the true qi of a first-grade dantian is to be described as a mighty, ever-flowing river.

Then the true qi in a second-grade dantian is like a winding stream, which cannot even cover the entire dantian.

However, this was enough for Wu Liang. At least, there were no insurmountable obstacles in getting from the second to the third turn.

"thump!"

A second-stage relic mushroom fell into the silvery stream of true energy and was instantly refined.

The stream of true energy expanded and grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fertile land, which was originally only six acres in size, suddenly grew to eight acres in size.

Wu Liang's aura trembled slightly, and he had successfully completed the second stage of advanced rank!

He took a deep breath and effortlessly suppressed the aura fluctuations caused by his breakthrough, without alerting anyone. Just as he was preparing to press on and continue refining the relic mushroom, aiming to reach the peak of the second stage...

"Om-"

The Bodhi seed rooted in the center of the dantian suddenly swayed slightly, emitting a dazzling indigo halo.

"Good, good, just as I expected..."

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang's eyes lit up.

After a drop in cultivation level, a subsequent rise in it actually stimulates the See Hand Blue again.

What this means is naturally self-evident.

To some extent, he has already mastered the means to actively utilize the "seeing hand blue" technique.

However, the price to be stimulated in this way is to fall from the current level and then rise back up.

This was undoubtedly too much for Wu Liang, who wished he could split his time in half to improve his cultivation.

Unless he has a large number of Shari-shrooms to consume, he can't afford to play like this at all.

Of course, even if he doesn't have the resources right now, he can still rely on his fallen cultivation level to obtain the secrets of the See Hand Blue.

Just based on the current situation, being able to reclaim three or four hidden treasures from the mid-second stage to the third stage for free is enough for him to reap a considerable reward.

Just as Wu Liang was pondering this matter, the herb "See Hand Blue" had already taken effect.

In an instant, a beautiful, dreamlike scene slowly appeared.

Little figures suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

They chattered and began to speak, "Listen to me, listen to me..."

"The Four Symbols Boundary Wall that currently covers the four continents and nine heavens is said to be a Nine-Turn Killing Move jointly created by the legendary immortal Zhao Longxiang and Zhenwu Tianzun."

"The existence of the Four Symbols Boundary Wall is to separate immortals and mortals, reduce the fighting between the mushroom masters of the four continents, and prevent the world from being ravaged by death again."

"To give the four continents and nine heavens, which have experienced darkness and turmoil one after another, a chance to breathe and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

What kind of secret is this?
These were no longer secrets to him after he inherited the memories of the Blood River Ancestor.

Could you tell me something he doesn't know?

Perhaps they heard his thoughts, for those chattering 'little people' did indeed begin to reveal secrets that were not quite what he knew.

"What the world doesn't know..."

"In fact, the function of the Four Symbols Boundary Wall is far more than these; it is also an important pillar supporting the Four Continents and the Nine Heavens."

“In the era of Zhenwu Tianzun, a major event occurred that caused the Four Continents and the Nine Heavens to lose their support.”

"If we do not take action to save them, the four continents will collide with the nine heavens, eventually causing unimaginable chaos, leading to the coexistence of immortals and mortals, and constant natural and man-made disasters."

"In order to reverse all of this, Zhenwu Tianzun, guided by destiny, accepted a critical mission and, together with the Daoist Zhao Longxiang, created the Four Symbols Boundary Wall, a deadly move."

"They traveled across the four continents and found the ancient legendary mushroom beast 'Fang Xiang'."

"'Fangxiang' has feet in the east, west, south, and north, and is the ancestor of all elephant-shaped mushroom beasts, hence it is also known as the myriad elephants."

“Zhenwu Tianzun cut off the four limbs of ‘Fangxiang’ and used the Four Symbols Boundary Wall to support the four continents and the nine heavens.”

"However, even so, the Four Symbols Boundary Walls lacked the strength to sustain the Four Continents and Nine Heavens for long."

"Later, Zhao Longxiang followed his destiny, sacrificed himself, and offered up the Dragon Elephant Grotto to merge into the Four Symbols Boundary Wall."

"From then on, every time the Dragon Elephant Grotto Heaven survives a calamity or even a catastrophe, the Four Symbols Boundary Wall will become more and more solid."

"That's why the four continents and nine heavens finally achieved complete stability."

"However, life is unpredictable..."

“A thousand years ago, there was a mushroom master named Chen Bo who learned about the Dragon Elephant Grotto from some unknown source.”

"He began to study the Four Symbols Boundary Walls, and with Wind-shroom, Earth-shroom, Fire-shroom, and Water-shroom as the core mushrooms, he developed a killer move that allows one to freely pass through the boundary walls without being affected."

"This person thus entered the Four Symbols Boundary Wall and found the Dragon Elephant Grotto Heaven."

"Unfortunately, Zhao Longxiang left behind the Dragon Elephant Grotto-heaven without ever intending for his descendants to inherit it."

"Therefore, the celestial spirits of Dragon Elephant Grotto Heaven presented an extremely difficult condition..."

"To inherit the Dragon Elephant Grotto, one must be a successor of True Martial Heavenly Venerable or a successor of Zhao Longxiang."

"The successor of Zhenwu Tianzun is naturally the Zhenwu Demon-Subduing Body."

"Whether the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body has appeared or not is another matter. Even if it has appeared, it is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought at all."

"As for Zhao Longxiang's successors, there's no need to say more."

"Zhao Longxiang left no legacy before his death, so naturally there was no question of a successor."

"The fifth-level mushroom master named Chen Bo returned empty-handed and failed to obtain this great opportunity."

“He was quite unwilling to accept this, so he wrote down the treasure map and left it as a legacy, hoping that future generations would have the opportunity to inherit the Dragon Elephant Cave one day, so that he would have no regrets.”

"But what he didn't know was..."

"Because he entered and exited the Dragon Elephant Grotto, a small gap actually appeared between the Dragon Elephant Grotto and the Four Symbols Boundary Wall."

"And this gap causes a portion of the energy to leak into the Southern Wilderness every time the Dragon Elephant Grotto-Heaven faces a calamity or even a catastrophe..."

The shaking of the blue needles came to an abrupt end, and the thousands of 'little people' disappeared without a trace.

This was the first time Wu Liang had ever learned of such a massive amount of information in a secret!
It took him a long time to come to his senses before he couldn't help but murmur aloud.

"The Southern Wilderness was suddenly struck by a major natural disaster a while ago, could it be that..."
