Mushroom Man

Chapter 320 One month has passed, the construction is complete
Dragon Palace.

A month later...

"Did you hear that?"

"The human mushroom master that Princess Miaoyin brought back is actually a quasi-master of alchemy!"

"Hmph, so what? Our Dragon Palace has more powerful alchemists than those humans."

"That's right, our Dragon Palace's mushroom refiners are just as good, we don't need that human mushroom refiner to come here and act like a big shot."

"But... the rewards for mushroom refining in our Dragon Palace are far too high, completely incomparable to those of human mushroom refiners."

"That human mushroom master is not only skilled in mushroom refining, no less than the mushroom refining masters of our Dragon Palace, but also offers a very low price."

"Yes, recently most of my friends have gone to the human mushroom masters to refine mushrooms."

"Traitors, they're all traitors! These guys have definitely been deceived by that human mushroom master."

“That human mushroom master came to our Dragon Palace and tried to win over our hearts; he must have ill intentions.”

"How hateful! Princess Miaoyin and Lord Silver Dragon King have both been bewitched by that human brat."

"If this continues, that human brat will soon steal all the limelight from us dragon people."

"Just wait, Lord Golden Dragon King will be returning to the palace soon, that kid won't be able to cause trouble for much longer..."

Such conversations have been frequently heard throughout the Dragon Palace during this period.

The dragon-man mushroom masters were either envious or jealous.

They talked incessantly about Wu Liang, who had been the talk of the town in the Dragon Palace recently.

That's right!

During this month, Wu Liang was the center of attention at the Dragon Palace.

Perhaps it was because the news of Ao Miaoyin's dedication in getting mushroom-making jobs for Wu Liang spread...

As a result, in a short time, most of the Dragonman Mushroom Masters knew about Wu Liang, a Mushroom Master who cultivated the Dao.

A human mushroom master, at a young age, has already reached the level of a quasi-master in the Dao of Refining, and can easily refine the vast majority of third-level mushrooms.

Such extraordinary talent instantly aroused the curiosity of the dragon people.

Dragon people have always admired and worshipped the strong.

Wu Liang's exceptional talent in alchemy clearly indicates that he is a powerful figure in some respect.

Therefore, when this news spread, many dragon people came to Wu Liang to refine mushrooms.

Some of them had never seen a human mushroom master before, and they sought out Wu Liang to refine mushrooms out of curiosity.

Some acted maliciously, deliberately trying to find fault and make things difficult for Wu Liang.

Others were dragon-human mushroom refiners who wanted to learn from and see how skilled humans were at mushroom refining.

At the same time, there are also dragon-human suitors who are simply after Ao Miaoyin and want to use this opportunity to get closer to Princess Miaoyin.

And all the dragon people who came to find Wu Liang to refine mushrooms were almost all impressed by Wu Liang's mushroom refining skills during this period.

Compared to the mushroom refiners of the Dragon Palace...

Not only is the price extremely low, requiring only the most insignificant mushroom beast corpse, but the success rate is also extremely high.

It's almost always a one-time success, rarely requiring a second attempt, which greatly reduces the waste of mushroom materials.

These two advantages combined instantly allowed Wu Liang to take over the jobs of most of the mushroom refiners in the Dragon Palace.

For Dragonman Mushroom Masters, exchanging mushroom beasts that they could easily hunt in the ocean for mushroom Refining Masters to refine mushrooms for them was an incredibly profitable deal.

Moreover, Wu Liang was not greedy for mushroom materials at all; he would complete the task in one go if he could, which was extremely efficient.

In this situation, unless the Dragonman Mushroom Masters are crazy, they would ignore Wu Liang and choose a Mushroom Master who charges exorbitant prices.

In the past month, Wu Liang has changed many dragon people's views on the human race simply by refining mushrooms.

However, a large number of Dragonman Mushroom Masters still harbor prejudice and hatred towards humans.

That's why there are so many dragon people in the Dragon Palace who don't like Wu Liang and are talking about him a lot.

At this moment...

Dragon Palace Mushroom Room.

This place was cleaned up by Ao Miaoyin specifically for Wu Liang to refine mushrooms.

This place is very secluded and soundproof.

Inside the mushroom room, the candlelight flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

A pool of blood gushed out, radiating a dazzling red glow.

In no time, the red light dissipated, the blood congealed, and a third-stage bloodline mushroom grew.

Only then did a cold, indifferent voice emerge from the dark corner of the mushroom room.

"I never imagined that it would take two failed attempts to refine a Blood-Clad Mushroom before I finally succeeded."

"It seems that the frequent mushroom cultivation lately has made me a bit too tired."

Wu Liang slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was expressionless, with a hint of weariness in his eyes.

However, the source of his weariness was not because of making mushrooms for those dragon people.

During this period, when those dragon people came to ask him to refine mushrooms, he basically acted as a hands-off manager, leaving the refining to Yan Zhaodi.

That's right!

This is why his success rate in refining mushrooms was so high, and why he impressed other dragon-human mushroom refiners.

Meanwhile, Wu Liang himself was busy refining Blood Path Mushrooms and focusing on building his own methods.

Over the past month...

Wu Liang's harvest can only be described as overflowing.

Not only did it improve most of its own structure, but it also made a lot of profit by processing mushrooms for the dragon people.

Admittedly, he made mushrooms for the dragon people ostensibly to repay a debt of gratitude.

The rewards they received were very low, but little by little, and through secret deductions, they still made a considerable profit. It can only be said that the Dao of cultivation truly lived up to its reputation as an extremely profitable school of thought.

These days, when the dragon people come to ask him to refine mushrooms, they all present him with the corpse of a mushroom beast.

Most of these mushroom-like creatures are dragon fish that inhabit the vicinity of the Dragon Palace.

Thanks to Yan Zhaodi's tireless efforts in cultivating mushrooms day and night, she had accumulated nearly thirty mushroom beast corpses for him.

The number of turns varies, but most are two or three turns of arowana.

Wu Liang fed all the dragonfish to the Blood Eater Mushroom and Blood Pool Mushroom in exchange for a large amount of Blood Path Mushroom material.

It was precisely because of these Blood Path Mushroom materials that he was able to refine a nearly perfect Blood Path structure.

And this doesn't even take into account the profits from Wu Liang secretly withholding mushroom materials.

However, this is because most of the mushrooms that the dragon people want to refine are slave-path mushrooms and waterway mushrooms.

Therefore, Wu Liang would secretly withhold resources that only interested him, and deliberately tell people that the mushroom refining process had failed, etc.

In the end, Wu Liang didn't actually manage to retain much of the resources.

Most of the resources he withheld were materials needed for the Blood Path Mushrooms he wanted to refine.

Therefore, the real highlight is still the blood-path mushrooms he has refined during this period.

"Shu~"

Wu Liang reached out and took the newly refined three-stage Blood Cloak Mushroom into his pocket.

His eyes flashed, and he immediately activated the Blood-Clad Mushroom.

The next moment, Wu Liang's tattered fox fur cloak was instantly covered in a layer of blood.

In no time at all, the viscous blood transformed into a crimson brocade robe with dragon patterns.

At first glance, it is very eye-catching, with dragon patterns all over the clothes, which is quite in line with the environment of the Dragon Palace.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.

After changing into this blood-stained outfit, Wu Liang's overall demeanor was even more impressive than before.

However, don't be fooled by the appearance of this blood-covered mushroom. The effects of this blood-covered mushroom are not just about looking good.

Blood-cloth mushrooms were a type of defensive mushroom that was prevalent in the bloodstream during the Middle Ages.

The purpose of this mushroom is to clothe the mushroom grower in a layer of blood.

And as long as there is a large supply of fresh blood, this blood-stained garment can be restored in the blink of an eye, even if it is damaged.

Furthermore, with ample blood, it is difficult to break through their defenses with attacks of the same level.

It can be considered one of the few outstanding defensive mushrooms among the blood mushrooms.

Furthermore, the Blood-Clad Mushroom can be further refined into a fourth-tier Blood Robe Mushroom, and even a Blood Armor Mushroom, Blood Armored Mushroom, and so on.

The reason Wu Liang refined this mushroom...

Firstly, it is to make up for its own shortcomings in defense.

Previously, he had almost no defense; once hit by a deadly move, he would shatter upon contact.

With the Blood-Clad Mushroom, defense and survival are no longer his weaknesses.

Secondly, Bloodcloth Mushroom can be perfectly paired with Blood Pool Mushroom to form the prototype of a killer move.

As previously mentioned, Bloodcloth Mushrooms are highly dependent on blood; the more blood they have, the better their defensive capabilities become.

The Blood Pond Mushroom's function is to provide a large amount of blood.

Now that Wu Liang has thrown a large number of mushroom beast corpses into the blood pool, the pool is now full of blood.

Combined with these two factors, Bloodcloth Mushroom can definitely be considered a top-tier defensive mushroom at level three.

Furthermore, if paired with fungi such as blood-sucking mushrooms, Wu Liang could ensure that the blood-cloth mushrooms could thrive indefinitely.

Wu Liang's defensive skills are now sufficient for the fourth rank.

As for other aspects...

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he immediately waved his hand.

In an instant, all the blood-path mushrooms that had been refined during this period appeared before my eyes.

Without exception, all of these mushrooms were three-times matured, and roughly speaking, there were as many as eight or nine of them.

First, there are the previously mentioned Blood Mushroom and Blood Rain Mushroom.

Wu Liang went to great lengths to refine these two mushrooms.

He deliberately withheld some of the dragon people's mushroom-refining materials, which was how he managed to gather the Great Wind Mushroom needed to refine the Blood Rain Mushroom and the Great Rain Mushroom needed to refine the Blood Rain Mushroom.

The benefits of these two mushrooms are self-evident.

With the Blood-Scented Mushroom and the Blood Rain Mushroom, he would be no weaker than other mushroom masters of the same level in combat, relying solely on these two mushrooms.

Back then, Abbot Shanren once displayed his divine power in the Demon Suppression Tower by relying on his bloody methods.

This is the Blood Path, the most prestigious of the five strongest killing styles in the Mushroom Realm.

It is worth mentioning that……

Perhaps because of the Dragon Palace, no one cultivates the Illusionary Path.

Therefore, the planned three-stage Blood Flower Cylinder could only be abandoned in the womb, and they would have to wait for another opportunity to refine it.

However, failing to refine the Blood Flower Tube did not have a significant impact on Wu Liang.

After all, in his build, the third-tier Blood Flower Cylinder was just icing on the cake.

Wu Liang's gaze shifted, sweeping over the Blood Wind Mushroom and the Blood Rain Mushroom.

Finally, his gaze settled on the remaining eight third-stage bloodline mushrooms.

And these blood fungi are...

Blood-drinking mushroom, Blood-transforming mushroom, Blood Shadow mushroom, Blood Torture mushroom, Hybrid mushroom, Blood-washed mushroom, Blood-refined mushroom, Cold-blooded mushroom.
