Mushroom Man

Wu Liang's silver reserves are more than some fourth-level mushroom masters.

Having plundered the Blackhorn tribe, he still possesses over 80,000 taels of silver that he has yet to use.

This amount of silver is enough for him to squander at will, allowing him to live a carefree life under the mirage for a while.

Of course, this doesn't even include the silver water produced daily by the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom.

The Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom is like a small, mobile spiritual spring. Wu Liang has a spiritual spring to supply himself, so simply isolating himself from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough to deplete him.

However, it's impossible to say that the mirage had absolutely no effect on Wu Liang.

After all, if Wu Liang used all that silver liquid on his body, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.

He hasn't spent the money yet, simply because he hasn't found the opportunity.

If all this silver were spent on restoring true energy, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss.

"Um……"

"We need to find a way to break the mirage, otherwise this dragging on will only result in mutual destruction."

"If I can take control of the Dragon Palace in the future, all the silver that the Dragon Palace is currently consuming will be my money."

Wu Liang frowned as he thought of this.

Compared to him, Xiao Chusheng was clearly more panicked.

Wu Liang doesn't need to worry about the issue of true qi, but Xiao Chusheng is different.

He had negotiated with the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King several times, and his true energy was already running low.

Now, having to constantly maintain the filthy mushrooms only adds to the pressure brought by the true energy.

The reason he has been able to hold on until now is that he has already been consuming silver water to refine true energy.

In this situation, the Golden Dragon King caused the Dragon Palace to disappear into a mirage, isolating it from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This undoubtedly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Xiao Chusheng's true energy was only going out and not coming in, and the silver water would soon be exhausted.

At that time, he will only face certain death.

When Xiao Chusheng thought of this, his face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

In his fear and anxiety, he then remembered that he could rely on the Holy Church's special envoy.

"Your Excellency, help!"

"That damned Golden Dragon King is trying to trap and kill us alive!"

"I don't have enough silver in my body, and I'm afraid I won't last long. At the latest, my silver will be completely used up in less than three days."

"I implore Your Excellency to find a way to save my life, even if it's just to lend me a little silver."

Xiao Chusheng, with a mournful face, hurriedly spoke up.

He knew perfectly well that the only person who could save him at this moment was this unknown Holy See envoy.

At this critical juncture, worrying about the reputation of the Holy Church or whether they are plotting against us is meaningless; preserving our lives is the only priority.

"I do have some silver on hand..."

Wu Liang spoke softly, and his words immediately caught Xiao Chusheng's eye.

However, he quickly changed his tone and poured cold water on Xiao Chusheng from head to toe.

"However, I am not some saint who would give you silver water to save your life for no reason."

"Now that the Dragon Palace has vanished into a mirage, even I have been greatly affected."

"I don't even have enough silver to use, so I certainly won't share any with you."

Wu Liang's words were merciless, yet reasonable.

If he had given the silver water to Xiao Chusheng so easily, Xiao Chusheng would have suspected what this Holy Church envoy was plotting against him.

"Your Majesty the Special Envoy..."

Xiao Chusheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue crying and say something.

However, Wu Liang quickly interrupted him.

"I will not give you silver, but I can show you a way to survive."

"However, if we take this approach, we might not have enough time for you to hide here and recuperate."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chusheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What method is it?"

Wu Liang spoke calmly and unhurriedly: "Do you see that dragon bell in the sky?"

"Both the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were able to create mirages through that dragon bell."

"Go and destroy that dragon bell, and the mirage will naturally collapse on its own."

"At that time, not only will we not need to worry about the issue of true energy, but we can even take the opportunity to escape from this Dragon Palace..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chusheng, who had initially thought the special envoy had some special means to save his life, couldn't help but freeze.

He looked bewildered and pointed to himself.

"Me? Go destroy the dragon's coffin?"

"Your Excellency, you're not joking, are you?"

"In this state, let alone ruining my health, I'm afraid I'll have trouble even walking."

"Now the Golden Dragon King is constantly patrolling the Dragon Palace in the heavens. If any junior dares to show his face, he will die. How could he possibly get close to the Dragon King..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang remained unmoved and coldly replied, "If you want to live, this is the only way."

"If we don't destroy the Dragon's Decay, we'll be trapped and killed by the Golden Dragon King sooner or later."

"However, it is indeed a bit too much to ask you to destroy the dragon's coffin by yourself."

"I can command the skeleton to join you in destroying the dragon's clock."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chusheng frowned and said, "Your Excellency, your Bone Corpse is only at the fourth level." "I am severely injured, my strength is less than one-hundredth of what it used to be. Even with your Bone Corpse, there is absolutely no way we could have damaged the Dragon Bell under the noses of those two Dragon Kings..."

"You don't need to worry about that. I will personally take action to lure away the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King," Wu Liang said calmly.

He spoke with confidence, seemingly quite certain of his abilities.

"At that time, you only need to wait for the message and take the opportunity to break the bell."

“This…” Xiao Chusheng hesitated.

He always felt that the plan was far too rudimentary and seemed unreliable in every way.

Moreover, he had no idea how capable this special envoy really was.

This person claims to be able to lure away the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. Is it really possible to lure them away?
If something goes wrong, he might lose his life there.

However, at this critical juncture, he seems to have no choice but to trust this Holy Church envoy.

Continuing to linger here will only lead to a slow death; exhausting one's true energy will also lead to certain death.

Going out and taking a chance might just offer a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chusheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Alright, since the special envoy was able to lure away the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, then this junior has the courage to risk his life and give it a try."

"I wonder when Your Excellency plans to implement the plan. I hope I can squeeze out all the silver in advance and accumulate some true energy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang's inner voice echoed through his heart.

"I will find a way to lure away the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King within three days."

"At that time, I hope you will not disappoint me and thus miss this opportunity..."

When Xiao Chusheng heard that it would take three days, he couldn't help but frown.

Three days...

The silver he had left could only last for three days.

Once the silver runs out, he will be like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

At that time, in order to survive, no matter how unwilling he was, or if he had any other ulterior motives, he would have no choice but to obey orders and go to destroy the dragon.

Obviously, this guy did it on purpose!
Xiao Chusheng wasn't foolish enough to think that luring away the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King would really take three days of planning.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chusheng felt a chill run down his spine.

However, he was already in a difficult position and could not back down. Even though he knew that the special envoy was plotting against him, he could only pretend not to know.

After all, if he really revealed these things, they could simply ignore him and let him fend for himself.

Xiao Chusheng suppressed his distracting thoughts, forced a smile, and said respectfully, "Alright, three days it is."

"Then this junior will await your good news, Your Excellency."

"At that time, I will only await the Special Envoy's order, and I will immediately go to shatter the dragon's bell and break the mirage..."

Xiao Chusheng finished speaking, but there was no response for a long time.

It was clearly the 'Special Envoy' who had disconnected the Heart-Speaking Mushroom in order to conserve his true energy.

……

Peach Blossom Residence.

Wu Liang slowly opened his eyes, severing the connection between the Peeping Mushroom and the Heart-to-Heart Mushroom, leaving only the Eavesdropping Mushroom to constantly monitor Xiao Chusheng.

Since true energy cannot be restored now, each time the mushrooms are activated, silver water is consumed, so naturally, we should conserve it as much as possible.

“Xiao Chusheng…”

"This child has too many tricks up his sleeve; he's not as easily fooled as Bone Immortal and Morobi."

"Now they seem to trust me, the Holy Church's special envoy, and obey my every word, but in reality, it's just because they are in a dangerous situation and forced by circumstances that they have no choice but to pretend to be friendly with me."

"This boy probably didn't fully believe my claim of being a member of the Holy Church, so he's really hard to control."

"It seems that it will not be possible to subdue this child and use him for my own purposes without bloodshed, just like Morobi did."

"Very well, if that's the case, this man has already made his way to death."

"When the time is right, I'll make this brat die a horrible death..."

As Wu Liang's thoughts raced, he had already sentenced Xiao Chusheng to death in his heart.

His expression was cold, his eyes flickered slightly, and he fell on Wu Xiangling.

Huang'er and the other dragon people are currently waiting for his favor inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

Although most of these dragon people are old, weak, sick, or disabled, they are still invaluable dragon people mushroom materials.

Now that it's in his hands, he'll naturally have to deal with it properly.

He was still short of a few mushrooms for his later plans, so he decided to use these dragonmen as practice subjects.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang did not immediately enter the Demon Suppression Tower.

Now, the Golden Dragon King's spirit remains ever-present, tirelessly watching over the Dragon Palace like a third eye.

If that guy glances this way and finds he's disappeared, then we'll be in big trouble.

Therefore, Wu Liang was not stingy with silver in this regard.

He immediately refined a hundred drops of silver water, stirred his true energy, and used the Blood Shadow Mushroom as the core, with the Illusion Mushroom, the Appearance Mushroom, the Thousand Forms Mushroom, and the Hundred Forms Mushroom as branches, to create a Blood Shadow Body.

The Blood Shadow was lifelike, and apart from not being able to activate the mushrooms and lacking intelligence, it was basically no different from him.

Leaving a blood-red shadow here to mislead the Golden Dragon King, as long as he doesn't deliberately use the mushrooms to identify it, he shouldn't be able to discover anything.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this.

After he finished doing all that, a thought suddenly struck him.

The next moment, Wu Liang's figure disappeared into the Demon Suppression Tower.

For a moment, only the blood-red figure with a faint smile remained, shaking his head as he studied the mushroom recipe... (End of Chapter)
