Mushroom Man

Chapter 317 Planning and Construction, the Demon Prince's Fame

Wu Liang collected his thoughts and stopped thinking about random things.

He dismissed the Iron Slave who had been guarding him the whole time with a random excuse.

Afterwards, Wu Liang decided to go up to the ninth floor to take a look.

There is not only the Bone Immortal there, but also his preserved old body.

Now that he has returned to the third stage, he can use the Seven Fragrance Wine Mushroom and the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom to forcefully activate the Blood Skull Mushroom, drain his old body, and restore his Grade A aptitude.

However, just to be on the safe side, he does not plan to restore his aptitude through the Blood Skull Mushroom right now.

There is only one old body...

If using the Blood Skull Mushroom fails to restore his aptitude to Grade A, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, Wu Liang planned to first refine some Blood Path Mushrooms that could assist Blood Skull Mushrooms in plundering talent.

Only after ensuring everything is foolproof should the qualifications be genuinely restored.

Before that, he first had to ensure that his old body could remain active.

At least they won't rot and stink over time, turning into skeletons.

After all, if it really rots into bones, the Blood Skull Mushroom will no longer be able to help him plunder bloodlines.

About three to five breaths later...

Wu Liang moved and arrived at the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Because of the blood pool, the air here is filled with a foul, fishy smell.

However, the blood in the blood pool has now been completely consumed due to the previous mushroom refining.

Only a layer of flesh and blood remained, still lying at the bottom of the pool.

All of this flesh and blood was extracted from the Soul-Destroying Mushroom by Wu Liang using Blood-Destroying Mushrooms from the Soul-Destroying Ridge.

Now, Bone Immortal lay there listlessly.

A skeleton lay amidst a pile of rotten flesh; the sight was truly unbearable to look at.

"Your Majesty the Special Envoy..."

"You've finally arrived! I wonder how your resurrection is progressing?"

Bone Master sensed Wu Liang's aura and reacted instantly.

He quickly jumped into the blood pool, approached, and respectfully asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, "Of course everything went smoothly, otherwise would you still be able to see me?"

“My master was very satisfied with my possession of his body and even praised you, saying that you are loyal and have great potential.”

As soon as this statement came out...

The ghostly flames flickered in Bone Master's eye sockets, clearly indicating that he was quite pleased with it.

"Now my master has sent me out of the blessed land of the tomb, and is preparing to continue to advance the great plan of the Holy Sect."

"You should rest and recuperate here during this time to ensure you are in good condition."

"It won't be long before we need you again."

"If you perform exceptionally well, my master might just grant you a chance to ascend to immortality."

Wu Liang spoke calmly, his words flowing effortlessly.

Bone Immortal was indeed thrilled after eating the large pancake.

He quickly and respectfully replied, "Your Excellency, please rest assured. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will certainly do my best to solve your problems."

"Now I am a fourth-level White Bone Corpse, and I have recovered some of my strength from when I was alive."

"If we encounter someone like the White Horn Leader again, I can't say I can easily handle him, but at the very least I can protect the Special Envoy."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, having already gained a general understanding of Bone Master's current strength.

He didn't chat much with Master Gu, just made a few casual remarks and offered some empty promises before sending him away.

Then, Wu Liang retrieved his old body.

He used the same trick again, employing Healing Mushrooms and Life Mushrooms to briefly maintain the vitality of his old body.

However, this is just a delaying tactic...

Over time, the old body will lose its vitality and blood, thus losing its value as a result of being plundered by the Blood Skull Mushroom.

Therefore, he had to refine all the required blood fungus as soon as possible during this period.

However, if one wants to refine Blood Path Mushrooms, the remaining Blood Food Mushroom materials are far from enough.

"It's time to further optimize the blood pool..."

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he immediately took out the blood-path mushroom left by Wu De from his dantian.

Besides the Bloodstained Mushroom, which has already been refined into a Blood Flesh Mushroom, there are four second-stage Blood Path Mushrooms.

They are: Blood Mushroom, Blood Drop Mushroom, Blood Eye Mushroom, and Blood Water Mushroom.

These second-stage Blood Path Mushrooms are no longer of much use to Wu Liang; they can all be used as materials to refine the Blood Path Mushrooms he desires.

Blood Mushroom can be combined with Wind Mushroom to become Fishy Wind Mushroom.

Blood Droplet Mushroom can be made by combining Blood Food Mushroom materials and Waterway School's Great Rain Mushroom to create a third-stage Blood Rain Mushroom.

In this way, a bloody and deadly attack can be constructed.

In the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, bloody and deadly moves were extremely common in the hands of the Blood Path Mushroom Master.

The Blood River Ancestor further developed the Bloody Storm technique, turning it into one of his five signature killing moves.

The original bloodshed was merely a method of killing in a wide area.

After being improved by the Blood River Ancestor, it has become an extremely terrifying killing move on the battlefield.

Battlefield killing moves are often techniques at the level of Mushroom Immortals. Mushroom Immortals who can develop battlefield killing moves are all exceptionally talented individuals.

The so-called battlefield killing move is actually a type of killing move that Mushroom Immortal developed by simulating blessed lands and grottoes.

By unleashing a battlefield killing move, a special environment can be created that can not only affect the enemy but also amplify one's own power.

Therefore, this battlefield killing move has also earned the name of "quasi-blessed land".

Although Wu Liang, at the Mushroom Master level, cannot truly construct a complete set of battlefield killing moves, he can still simulate some of their power.

Therefore, he was determined to refine these two mushrooms, "Blood and Rain."

As for the blood-eyed mushroom...

This mushroom could be upgraded into a third-tier mushroom called Blood Flower Cylinder by finding some Illusionary Mushroom materials. Blood Flower Cylinder is a modified mushroom that grants the mushroom master's eyes the ability to detect and influence others using illusions.

This mushroom, when paired with false mushrooms or dummy mushrooms, might have a surprisingly good effect.

The final Blood Mushroom is of utmost importance.

The natal mushroom of the Blood River Ancestor during his time as a mushroom master was actually the Blood Water Mushroom.

Therefore, Wu Liang was extremely knowledgeable about this mushroom and knew clearly the subsequent refinement path of this mushroom.

The second-stage Bloodwater Mushroom can be upgraded all the way to the third-stage Blood Pool Mushroom, the fourth-stage Blood Spring Mushroom, and the fifth-stage Blood Lake Mushroom.

Blood Lake Mushroom can be further refined into a Rank 6 Blood River Mushroom.

Although I don't know if the Six-Turn Blood River Mushroom has already been refined by someone else in the mushroom world today, I still have to try and refine this mushroom all the way up.

Moreover, the Blood Pool Mushroom, refined from the Blood Mushroom, is of particular help to him at present.

The Blood Pool Mushroom's function is to transform into a blood pool, accumulating blood.

The blood pool grows larger by absorbing the blood of living beings.

The more blood there is, the greater the benefit the blood pool provides to the mushroom master.

The most basic is the Bloodstream Mushroom Master, who can use the Blood Pool to refine mushrooms, effectively increasing the success rate of improvement.

At the same time, Blood Pool Mushroom has the ability to transform living beings and even Bloodway Mushroom materials into blood.

Therefore, it can also be used as a core fungus to unleash a series of deadly moves that require blood.

Such as making false accusations, causing rivers of blood to flow, etc...

This is somewhat similar to how the Qi Dao Mushroom Master and Mushroom Immortal can use Qi Dao mushroom materials to unleash deadly moves.

"go with!"

Wu Liang remained expressionless and gave a soft shout.

The next moment, he threw the Blood Mushroom into the dried-up blood pool.

He used the herb-based mushroom cultivation method, using blood mushroom substrate as soil, to grow blood mushrooms.

Drops of silvery water fell from the sky like a torrential downpour, irrigating the blood mushrooms.

With the insight of a master of blood cultivation, Wu Liang began refining the Blood Pool Mushroom with ease.

And it was while he was preparing the mushrooms...

the other side.

Wind Cliff Island.

This uninvited island near the Dragon Palace has welcomed an unexpected guest.

A dark, heavy cloud descended silently from the sky.

A sinister man dressed in a black robe slowly revealed himself.

With a single step, he appeared like a ghost in the cave where Morobi had once searched for the Wind Mushroom.

At this moment, Morobi was no longer visible in the cave.

Clearly, after so much time, Morobi, who had been robbed by Wu Liang, had already left and continued searching for the other mushrooms.

"Hehehe, it seems Mr. Zhuge, you're a step too late."

"Now that almost two days have passed, the Celestial Venerable must have already left this place."

"No, no, although that kid is the reincarnation of a Celestial Venerable, he has just possessed Wu De's body, and his cultivation is still low, only at the second level."

"With such cultivation, even with the greatest skills, it is absolutely impossible to use them easily."

“Under these circumstances, the child certainly couldn’t have gone far; he must still be in the vicinity.”

"And right now, that kid definitely wouldn't dare go to any populated areas; he's probably hiding somewhere in the shadows."

The man was talking to himself, reciting his own words.

Clearly, this person was none other than Zhuge Huowang, who had just finished dealing with the matter of Yuan Tu Laozu joining the sect and had secretly come to find Wu Liang.

The reason he said that Wu Liang didn't dare to go to populated areas, but instead found some secluded corner to hide in...

It was precisely because Wu Liang had become famous in Beihai, and even in the entire mushroom industry.

Almost all human mushroom masters and mushroom immortals, as long as they are well-informed, know Wu Liang.

This is all thanks to Zhuge Huowang, who claimed that Yuan Tu Laozu was the reincarnation of Wuxiang Tianzun at his birthday banquet.

The emergence of the Yuan Tu Ancestor has already attracted widespread attention.

Countless eyes are fixed on Shura Island.

As a result, during his birthday banquet, a mortal mushroom master who seemed to be the reincarnation of a celestial being suddenly appeared.

Moreover, it has the endorsement of Zhuge Huowang, a holy immortal, and Yuan Tu Laozu, an eighth-level demonic mushroom master.

Such an astonishing event naturally caused a stir throughout the four continents and nine heavens.

Based on the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free"...

Now, the Yellow Court, Buddhism, and Taoism in the Nine Heavens have jointly issued a decree to exterminate the demon.

Wu Liang's name has now risen to tenth place on the Demon Slayer List.

The title of "Little Demon" was changed to "Demon Child," signifying the continuation of the title of the Formless Demon Lord.

The top ten on the Demon Slayer List are basically all heinous demons who have wreaked havoc on the four continents and nine heavens.

Logically speaking, Wu Liang, as the 'reincarnation of the Celestial Venerable,' should definitely be ranked too low.

However, the news that Wu Liang is the reincarnation of the 'Formless Celestial Venerable' comes from a group of demonic villains, so its credibility is questionable.

That's why it only ranked tenth.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Wu Liang to directly top the list and become famous throughout the four continents and nine heavens.

At the same time, Zhuge Huowang suddenly frowned.

"Weird..."

"How can we find that kid? We can't find him anywhere."

"Could it be that the kid isn't around here?"

"No, no, it feels more like something is covering him up..."
