Mushroom Man

Chapter 37: The Master's Pressure, First Attempt

“As long as you have a goal in mind, you can endure loneliness and pain.”

"As long as there is passion in your heart, it will not be hidden by the cold night."

Wu Liang was nitpicking over his words and muttering softly.

He seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes flickering.

"The Great Sun Lord used the fire mushroom to ignite his passion, regain his purpose, and dispel his loneliness."

"So how can I follow suit?"

"Could I also get a fire mushroom?"

Wu Liang frowned and thought hard for a long time, but was unable to understand the true meaning.

Fire mushrooms are easy to find, but the fire mushroom in the Mushroom Man Legend is impossible to find even if you want to.

What's more, can fire mushrooms really dispel mushroom poison?
Wu Liang closed the Mushroom Man Biography for the time being, and was skeptical about it.

But right now, it seems that he has no other choice but to try them one by one.

In this case, it is better to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang made a prompt decision, put on his monk's robe, and went to the Buddha Treasure Pavilion.

"Sekong is here, but what mushrooms are you missing?"

When Elder Fobao saw him coming, he quickly stood up to greet him.

Wu Liang nodded slightly when he heard this and said casually, "The mushrooms I picked last time were just okay, but the methods were still a little lacking."

"This time I came here, intending to improve my methods."

Upon hearing this, Elder Fobao looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he spoke in a low voice.

"Sekong, do you know..."

"When the abbot returned this morning, what else did he do besides summoning the monks who were skilled in refining mushrooms?"

Ok?
When Wu Liang heard this, he felt puzzled. He didn't know what the elder Fobao's intention was in telling him this.

How could he know what the abbot did when he came back this morning?

Wu Liang frowned slightly, then said, "I haven't noticed it..."

"If you have something to say, Elder, why not say it?"

Elder Fobao smiled cheerfully, and then said these words in an inexplicable tone.

"The abbot came back this morning and was very concerned about you, Sekong."

"I sent someone to ask you this morning about your recent studies, Sekong, and how your cultivation was going. What mushrooms did you choose?"

"But don't worry, Sekong. I'm very tight-lipped. I just made up a few lies and got away with it."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang frowned and pretended to be confused.

"What do you mean, elder?"

"The abbot asked, so he asked. I haven't done anything wrong, so why would he hide it?"

Elder Fobao did not comment and shook his head.

"Sekong, it's not like you don't understand the abbot's suspicion."

"Whenever he senses something is wrong, he becomes suspicious and overthinks things."

"Master Wen has already told me that the real Sekong is dead, and you are the helper she invited from the Buddhist sect."

"We are all family, why hide anything?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Liang's face instantly turned cold.

He glanced at Elder Fobao and then said, "Elder, it's better to say less about this. Be careful that there are ears and the news leaks out."

"Since the elder can keep the abbot secret for me, that's perfect."

"It just so happens that I need to pick some mushrooms, but it's inconvenient to let the abbot know, so I'll trouble you, elder."

"Hey, you..." Elder Fobao stroked his beard and was about to say something.

However, before he could say anything, Wu Liang had already walked into the Buddhist Treasure Pavilion and plunged into the mushroom field. "What a great Nun Wen!"

Wu Liang strolled among the mushroom fields with a gloomy expression.

He really didn't expect that Master Wen would be so ruthless.

He just didn't reply to her for one day, and this guy actually revealed his affairs to others.

This move is really hateful. They are sure that he will not fight to the death!

Wu Liang's eyes flickered. He knew that it was because he had not given an answer yet, which had revealed his cowardice, and that was why the other party acted so recklessly.

Elder Fobao came to tell him all this today, it must have been Master Wen who secretly instructed him to do so.

The purpose is to put pressure on him and give him a warning.

"no……"

"If this continues, the nun will definitely spread this matter everywhere."

"For now, let's assume she only told her own followers."

"But if I fail to act according to her wishes, I'm afraid that more people will know about this..."

Wu Liang's eyes flickered, and he decisively gave up his previous idea of ​​delaying Master Wen.

Within three to five days at the latest, he must find a way to solve the big problem of Master Wen.

He took a deep breath and put the matter aside for the time being, planning to think about it carefully after returning.

It won’t take long…

Wu Liang walked out of the Buddhist Treasure Pavilion with several mushrooms in his arms.

Most of these mushrooms are closely related to fire channels and are used to act as fire mushrooms.

He didn't know which specific mushroom could burn away his loneliness like the Great Sun Lord, so he had to cast a wide net and try them one by one.

Among them, Wu Liang also specially selected two mushrooms based on the content of the Mushroom Man's Biography.

They are the second-level Passion Mushroom and the second-level Vision Mushroom.

The effect of passion mushroom is very simple, which is to make people passionate about something and not be short-lived in doing things.

The Eye Mushroom is a reconnaissance mushroom, and it is the means he chose to discover mushroom poison.

After all, if you can't even detect your own loneliness, how can you solve it?
"I hope it helps..."

Wu Liang suppressed his thoughts and did not return to the meditation room immediately. Instead, he took the opportunity to go to the Sutra Library.

Previously in the Wu Family School, he had learned very little.

Now that he has entered the Temple of Childbirth and become the abbot's son, how could he waste this opportunity?
"As a mushroom master, if you want to go further, you must at least learn a thing or two about the Dao of Refining."

"Otherwise, even if I get a rare mushroom recipe, but can't refine it due to my lack of skills, it would be a bit ridiculous."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately borrowed seven or eight notebooks from the Sutra Library.

Most of these notebooks were related to mushroom refining, and there were also one or two miscellaneous books on constructing killing moves and local travel notes.

As the saying goes, you can never have too much knowledge.

What he lacks most right now are these basics, so he will naturally learn as much as he can, as he never knows when they may come in handy.

Before he knew it, it was already noon when Wu Liang returned to the Zen room.

After a quick lunch, he refined all the mushrooms and began to prepare to cure the mushroom poison in his body.

"First of all, the eyes..."

Wu Liang's mind moved, and he took the lead in activating the Vision Mushroom.

In an instant, his eyes brightened and scanned the surroundings as if they were real.

Wherever his eyes passed, even the smallest speck of dust could not escape his sight.

Wu Liang looked at himself, but the expected mushroom poison did not appear.

However, he did not give up, but immediately activated the second mushroom... the Passion Mushroom.
