Mushroom Man

Chapter 342 Despicable and Shameless, Making a Comeback
mean!

If one word were to describe Wu Liang, then only the word "despicable" would be most fitting.

It can only be said that there was a reason why those dragon people had such a deep prejudice against him.

He is indeed a treacherous, cunning, cold-blooded, and despicable fellow.

However, Wu Liang himself did not think there was anything wrong with it.

The mean is the pass of the mean, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble.

He is currently surrounded by enemies, and is still struggling to survive in this ruthless mushroom world. At this time, trying to be noble will only lead to his quicker demise.

Since he didn't want to die, he could only let others die in order to fulfill his own ambitions and gain greater power.

In fact, neither Ao Miaoyin nor any of the dragon people in the Dragon Palace had ever offended Wu Liang.

But in order to go further, he had no choice but to make things difficult for these dragon people.

Unbeknownst to him, Wu Liang had become the very thing he once hated.

At this point, he was essentially no different from Abbot Shanren back then; both of them were willing to do anything for themselves.

can only say……

Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.

Given Wu Liang's situation in the mushroom industry, being a good person won't get him far; only by being a troublemaker can he go further.

"Huang'er..."

"Killing her to provoke Ao Miaoyin would not be difficult for me."

"The real challenge lies in when to let her die, how to let her die, and how to avoid suspicion after she dies."

Wu Liang squinted, pondering this to himself.

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts and ideas surged within me.

As he said...

With Wu Liang's current abilities, killing a severely injured Huang'er without anyone noticing would be incredibly easy.

If it were before, when Huang'er was still Ao Miaoyin's personal maid, killing her might have been a bit troublesome for Wu Liang.

After all, as Ao Miaoyin's personal maid, Huang'er would definitely spend a long time by Ao Miaoyin's side, living in the princess's palace.

The princess's palace was impregnable; who knows how many layers of protection were secretly employed?

In this situation, if one were to make a move against the princess in her palace, it might trigger some kind of punishment, thereby attracting the Silver Dragon King.

Fortunately, Huang'er had brought this upon herself, and at this very moment, she angered Ao Miaoyin.

Now, she is no longer her personal maid, and has been expelled from the princess's palace.

Therefore, killing Huang'er was not much more difficult for Wu Liang than crushing an ant.

However, the Dragon Palace is currently overly sensitive because of him, a human mushroom master.

We need to think carefully before deciding to kill Huang'er.

Otherwise, one careless move could attract the attention of the Golden Dragon King.

"If we want to throw this Dragon Palace into chaos, we must find a way to deal with the Golden Dragon King."

"Otherwise, the existence of the Golden Dragon King is too much of a threat to me, and I would be somewhat constrained in whatever I do."

Wu Liang's face was cold and sinister; he had already decided to kill the Golden Dragon King.

Without a doubt, the Golden Dragon King was the biggest obstacle to his plot to seize the Dragon Palace.

However, getting rid of the Golden Dragon King is easier said than done.

The Golden Dragon King is someone who can be compared to Abbot Shanren.

With his peak fifth-stage cultivation, even if Wu Liang used all his underhanded and dangerous tricks, it would probably be difficult to have any effect on him.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is vulnerable.

"Stripping away the nine clans might have some effect..."

Wu Liang seemed to have thought of something, and his mind immediately stirred.

The next moment, bright red blood beads instantly seeped from the surface of his blood-stained clothes.

These blood beads all came from Prince Ao Tang.

When Wu Liang fought with him, he secretly used the Blood-Clad Mushroom to absorb the foul blood vomited by Prince Ao Tang.

With the blood of Prince Ao Tang, Wu Liang could use the Nine Clans Separation technique at any time to remotely curse and kill the Golden Dragon King, if he so desired.

However, the impact may not be as great as imagined.

After all, this killer move is only at the third level.

To think that one could kill the Golden Dragon King with this move is nothing short of wishful thinking.

"It seems that this matter needs to be considered more carefully and we should wait for a better opportunity."

"But before that, the Righteous Qi Mushroom must be refined."

"If we can refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom, everything will become much easier."

Wu Liang temporarily suppressed his murderous intent and instead focused his thoughts on refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

For him, the Righteous Mushroom is both a test and an opportunity.

However, even with the Golden Dragon King providing the mushroom materials, it is still quite difficult to refine this mushroom.

Leaving aside Wu Liang's temperament and whether he can refine this mushroom, his cultivation level and Dao cultivation realm alone are probably insufficient to refine this fourth-rank mushroom.

He was able to refine the fourth-level Blood Skull Mushroom because he had reached the level of a Blood Dao Master.

Furthermore, he possesses the memories of the Blood River Ancestor refining Blood Skull Mushrooms multiple times, and can use the Blood Pool to assist in refining Blood Path Mushrooms.

A combination of factors allowed him to refine the Blood Skull Mushroom. Even so, it took him more than half a month.

This shows just how ridiculously difficult it is to refine fourth-level mushrooms.

Wu Liang possesses the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, so he doesn't need to worry about insufficient true qi, but his cultivation level is a major weakness.

The Righteous Mushroom school belongs to the categories of Humanity and Qi.

Of these two schools, Wu Liang at most has a Qi Dao apprentice, but this is of little help in refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

In this situation, it seems that Wu Liang has no choice but to ask Yan Zhaodi, a master of alchemy, to help him refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

However, don't forget...

Yan Zhaodi is now without a human body, only the body of a mushroom beast, and she does not yet have any matching cultivation mushrooms available.

In this state, Yan Zhaodi was completely unable to exert the abilities expected of a Daoist master, and her Daoist cultivation techniques were reduced to less than one-tenth.

She might have no problem refining some level 3 mushrooms, but refining level 4 mushrooms is really asking too much of her.

It can only be said that the test given by the Golden Dragon King was dauntingly difficult, clearly designed to make things difficult for Wu Liang.
This is one of the reasons why the Silver Dragon King never had any hope that Wu Liang could refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

At this moment, at first glance, Wu Liang seemed to have no way to deal with the situation.

However, since he dared to accept this test, he must have had the confidence and reasons to do so.

The fourth-stage Righteousness Mushroom is a prerequisite for the fifth-stage Justice Mushroom.

And the Justice Mushroom is the absolute core of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Replenishing the Justice Mushroom will allow Wu Liang to truly unleash the power of the Demon Suppression Tower as a top-tier mortal mushroom house.

Even if we settle for second best and temporarily replace the Justice Mushroom with the Righteous Mushroom, the Demon Suppression Tower can still regain some of its power.

Once the Demon Suppression Tower regains some of its power, Wu Liang will truly have a trump card to save his life.

Therefore, he was determined to cultivate the Righteous Mushroom no matter what, and was determined to obtain it.

Wu Liang already had a clue as to how to obtain the Righteousness Mushroom, which gave him confidence.

His methods were nothing more than three...

Firstly, since we can't refine it, we should try to get a righteous mushroom from outside the Dragon Palace.

Of course, this depends on him, not the Silver Dragon King, otherwise there is a risk of being discovered by the Golden Dragon King.

Since Wu Liang is in the Dragon Palace, the only way he could obtain the Righteous Qi Mushrooms from the outside world is undoubtedly through a scam.

He still has one more opportunity to stage a scam.

If done properly, it is not impossible to obtain the Righteous Qi Mushroom through the transmission of the Formless lineage.

Secondly, the reason he can't refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom right now, excluding issues with his temperament, is that his cultivation level is insufficient.

Wu Liang's current Dao Refining Realm has improved after so many days of refining mushrooms and gradually digesting the Dao Refining Realm of the Blood River Ancestor.

He has indeed reached the level of a quasi-master in the Dao of Refining.

The only difference between being a master of alchemy and being a master is a lack of practical experience.

By simply refining more mushrooms and absorbing more of the Blood River Ancestor's cultivation memories, one can naturally break through to the Master level.

At that time, if Wu Liang were to further enhance his cultivation to the fourth level, he would undoubtedly have the possibility of refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

Thirdly, find a way to provide Yan Zhaodi with a physical body to help her escape her predicament and restore her identity as a Daoist mushroom master.

In this way, Yan Zhaodi, with her simple and honest nature, could easily refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom.

However, this third method was undoubtedly more difficult for him.

To restore Yan Zhaodi to her human form, before the Demon Suppression Tower is fully repaired, the only option is to use a clever trick to free her.

This requires the use of possession techniques...

Wu Liang's soul has now recovered most of its strength and no longer needs to rely on the Soul-Binding Flea to carry his soul.

In this situation, he could use the Soul-Snatching Flea on Yan Zhaodi to help her possess another body.

However, the method of possession is too risky, and Yan Zhaodi's soul foundation is insufficient. If things go wrong, something unexpected might happen, and she might die.

Yan Zhaodi is of great importance to him and will be an indispensable asset in the future.

Even if he becomes a mushroom immortal, Yan Zhaodi can still provide him with great help in his cultivation. It would be too much of a pity if he died on this path.

Therefore, Wu Liang is unlikely to consider taking the risk unless there is a better solution.

Wu Liang's eyes flickered, and he silently ruled out the third method.

The remaining two methods can be tried simultaneously.

"A scam can be launched at any time, so there's no need to rush."

"As for the Refining Dao Master and the fourth-level cultivation, those can be prepared for now..."

After pondering for a moment, Wu Liang decided to improve his cultivation level first.

Although his cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the third level, he has already possessed the quality of true qi at the middle stage of the third level due to the Seven Fragrance Wine Mushroom.

Furthermore, after a month of nurturing his dantian, the bottleneck of the middle stage of the third revolution has become as thin as a cicada's wing, and he can start to break through at any time.

If that's the case, when else should we break through if not now?
Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately waved his hand.

Then the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom manifested, appearing above his head, spinning around and emitting a silvery glow.

Wu Liang bathed in the silver water, sat cross-legged, and began to break through his bottleneck without saying a word...

And at the same time, on the other side.

On the turbulent sea, the Black Pot appeared and disappeared, making a comeback once again.

Behind the Black Pot, a large ship could be faintly seen following closely behind...
