Mushroom Man

Chapter 312 Plotting to Transform into a Dragon, Refining Mushrooms to Repay Kindness

"interesting……"

After digesting this secret, Wu Liang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow with interest.

Who would have thought that Princess Miaoyin was not the Silver Dragon King's biological daughter?

The Silver Dragon King really kept his secrets well.

If the dragons of the Dragon Palace, who are filled with hatred and prejudice against humans, were to find out about this, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"No wonder the Silver Dragon King has such goodwill towards the human race."

"So it turns out there was such a long-ago story back then."

Wu Liang's expression turned strange when he thought of this.

If Ruo Ao Miaoyin was Xie Boya's daughter, then her real name should be Xie Miaoyin.

It's unclear whether Ao Miaoyin herself knew about this matter.

Of course, whether he knew it or not, this secret seemed to have little to do with him.

Wu Liang couldn't possibly use this matter to blackmail the Silver Dragon King.

After all, the Silver Dragon King is a peak fifth-level mushroom master. If you anger him, his fate will definitely not be good.

Moreover, this does not align with Wu Liang's plan to develop steadily.

The secret revealed by the blue-handed man was of little help to Wu Liang.

Only the so-called Dragon Transformation Method interested him quite a bit.

"Transformation into a dragon after birth, from a human into a different race of dragon people..."

"I never imagined that such methods existed in this world."

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he seemed to be pondering this.

Dragon people are born with the Dao of Slavery. Although they are not as good as the nine innate Dao bodies of the human race, they still have a significant advantage over the first-grade dantian when they cultivate a specific school of thought.

If a slave-spirited mushroom master masters the method of transforming into a dragon, he can transform from a human into a dragon. His future path will surely be smooth sailing.

However, all of this is predicated on the person being able to tolerate the dangers that come with being a dragon.

Unfortunately……

Wu Liang had no intention of cultivating the Path of Slavery, even though his own soul had already reached the level of a thousand souls.

Currently, whether it's the Blood Path or the Universe Path that he might obtain in his search for the Blessed Land of Freedom, the prospects for development are much longer than those for the Slave Path.

Under these circumstances, he would naturally not be foolish enough to switch cultivation methods haphazardly and half-heartedly pursue the path of slavery.

Therefore, this so-called acquired dragon transformation method was not of much help to him.

However, this did not prevent Wu Liang from coveting this law.

After all, if one were to master the Acquired Dragon Transformation Method, even if not for personal use, using it as a means to cultivate Dragon-human mushrooms would seem like a good idea.

That's right!

When Wu Liang learned that there was such a thing as the Acquired Dragon Transformation Method in this world, his first thought was that it could be used to cultivate dragon-human mushrooms.

Dragon people, these extraordinary beings, are treasures from head to toe.

Its skin and flesh can be used as raw materials for making nude mushrooms.

Dragon horns, dragon tails, dragon eyes, dragon scales, and other unique and wondrous features of dragon people can be used as materials for transforming mushrooms and refining mushrooms related to dragons.

It should be noted that in the mushroom world, most mushroom beasts related to dragons are at least at the fourth rank.

Obtaining dragon-related mushroom materials from it is no easy task.

The relatively weaker dragon people would undoubtedly serve as a perfect replacement.

As for blood, it can be used to refine Dragon Blood Mushrooms, and soul can be used to refine Dragon Soul Mushrooms. Without exception, these are all rare mushrooms.

If Wu Liang can obtain the Acquired Dragon Transformation Method and ascend to immortality, he can raise a dragon-human race within his own blessed land, and the benefits will be beyond imagination.

Moreover, according to the memories of the Blood River Ancestor...

Even among the Mushroom Immortals, the existence of extraordinary individuals is a form of high value.

Not to mention the Dragon People, who are already a relatively rare group among the Nine Extraordinary People, and are generally more valuable.

"This is a way to make a fortune..."

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and unfathomable, his mind filled with inhuman and utterly depraved thoughts.

If he could truly cultivate a group of dragon people, its value would be no less than that of a wonder.

However, he also knew that such a means of transforming a human into a dragon was not something that could be obtained easily.

If he intends to covet the Acquired Dragon Transformation Technique in the Silver Dragon King's possession, he will probably need to plan ahead.

"Perhaps we can start with Ao Miaoyin."

"That girl is rather naive and easily deceived."

"With just a little guidance, gaining their trust and even their favor is not difficult at all."

Wu Liang had one idea after another.

And it was at this moment...

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Then they heard footsteps outside the door.

Wu Liang's expression shifted slightly. Thanks to the eavesdropping mushroom, he easily knew who the visitor was.

"Young Master Wu, is this a convenient time?"

"Miaoyin brought you some food..."

Ao Miaoyin's gentle and soothing voice rang out from outside the door.

Wu Liang silently estimated the time and realized that he had unknowingly cultivated for four or five hours.

He stood up, then smiled and put on the mask called appearance again.

"Miss Miaoyin, please come in..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Miaoyin, who was outside the door, led Huang'er in with a reluctant expression.

Huang'er held a bowl of hot soup in her hands, pouting as she placed it on the table.

“Young Master Wu, this is a soul-nourishing soup that your father specially asked Miaoyin to prepare for you after he learned about your situation.”

"This soup has a certain effect on nourishing the soul, and I think it can be of some help to Young Master Wu." Ao Miaoyin smiled slightly and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang showed gratitude and said with a embarrassed tone, "This, Silver Dragon King and Miss Miaoyin, truly leave me at a loss for words."

"Not only did you save me, you also have to help me recover from my injuries."

"I am but a mere human mushroom master, how could I possibly deserve such treatment from the Dragon Palace?"

"No, no, Miss Miaoyin, please leave this Soul Nourishing Soup for the dragon brothers in the Dragon Palace."

Ao Miaoyin seemed to see through Wu Liang's pride, which prevented him from accepting this condescending offer.

She smiled gently and shook her head.

"Young Master Wu, there's no need to take it to heart."

"My father is known for his benevolence and kindness, treating everyone equally regardless of their cultivation level."

“A bowl of soul-nourishing soup is nothing; to my father, it’s just a way to make a good connection.”

"If Young Master Wu does not accept it, it will make Father King think that he has neglected his guest."

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible strange look flashed across Wu Liang's face.

He was used to the deceit, intrigue, and scheming in the mushroom industry.

Now, suddenly encountering such a kind-hearted person, he was truly not used to it.

If he hadn't been able to see that Ao Miaoyin meant him no harm, he probably would have suspected that these dragon people were plotting something against him.

"Enough, enough..."

"I'm afraid I can never repay the kindness of the Silver Dragon King and Miss Miaoyin in this lifetime."

Wu Liang feigned helplessness and stopped refusing.

Ao Miaoyin couldn't help but chuckle at his joke, covering her mouth and smiling softly.

Just then, she suddenly blinked her azure dragon eyes, as if she had seen something.

"what?"

"Young Master Wu, what is your cultivation level?"

Ao Miaoyin looked surprised and spoke up.

In just four or five hours, Wu Liang advanced from the middle stage of the second stage to the initial stage of the third stage.

The dramatic change in his cultivation level before and after would inevitably prompt anyone who came to ask him about it.

Fortunately, Wu Liang had already prepared his explanation.

He gave a wry smile and said, "Miss Miaoyin, you may not know this, but I am originally a third-level mushroom master."

"Previously, I was injured and somewhat wary of Miss Miaoyin, so I deliberately used concealment methods to hide my weakness."

"Now that I trust Miss Miaoyin and know she is a kind girl, I have stopped hiding my true intentions..."

When Ao Miaoyin heard Wu Liang say that she was a kind girl, her face immediately turned red, and she spoke softly.

"I see. Those powerful dragon-man mushroom masters in the Dragon Palace are actually just as cautious as Young Master Wu when they go out, so Miaoyin can understand."

After Ao Miaoyin finished speaking, she seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Not wanting to make small talk and be impolite, she immediately said, "Young Master Wu, please drink this Soul-Nourishing Soup while it's still hot."

"It's getting late, Miaoyin and Huang'er should go back to rest too."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang quickly said, "Wait, I actually have something else I'd like to ask Miss Miaoyin for help with."

Ao Miaoyin, who was about to leave, immediately stopped and looked over with some curiosity.

Huang'er, on the other hand, was already showing obvious impatience.

If the princess hadn't just reprimanded her, she probably would have already said something unpleasant.

Wu Liang didn't keep them in suspense and immediately said, "To be honest..."

"I have received so many favors from the Dragon Palace, I would feel really bad if I didn't express my gratitude."

“I am not someone who eats for free, nor am I the kind of person who accepts favors without expecting anything in return.”

"Therefore, I intend to do my part, within my power, to take on some mushroom refining work for the Dragon Palace, in order to repay the kindness of the Silver Dragon King and Miss Miaoyin."

As soon as this statement came out...

Huang'er, who already disliked Wu Liang, could no longer hold back and immediately sneered, saying, "Refining mushrooms?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"We have so many dragon-man mushroom masters in our Dragon Palace who are skilled in mushroom refining that we can't even count them on two hands."

"I'll repay the debt with mushrooms!"

"You should just stay put and live off her..."

"Huang'er!" Upon hearing this, Ao Miaoyin immediately scolded Huang'er.

Seeing this, Huang'er shut her mouth.

Wu Liang glanced at Huang'er almost imperceptibly, silently making a mental note of it.

"Since Young Master Wu specifically mentioned mushroom refining, he must have some confidence in it."

"I wonder if Young Master Wu is a cultivator who has reached the miscellaneous realm of Apprentice in the Dao of Refining?"

After scolding Huang'er, Ao Miaoyin looked at Wu Liang with a face full of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

Upon seeing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Ao Miaoyin's eyes.

Isn't he a Refining Mushroom Master who has reached the Refining Apprentice level?

Where did Young Master Wu get the confidence to say he would repay the debt of gratitude with mushrooms?

Just as she was quite puzzled and couldn't figure it out...

Wu Liang spoke up.

He nodded slightly, his tone confident, and said softly, "Miss Miaoyin, you've misunderstood."

"I am not a Dao Refining Apprentice, but I am more powerful than a Dao Refining Apprentice..."
