Mushroom Man

Air-transparent mushroom?
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

If this mushroom is indeed worth 20,000 taels of silver as Xiao Chusheng said, it seems like it's not a bad deal at all.

The Teleport Mushroom can transform attacks and mushrooms that originally had a very small range of effect into attacks that can be cast from a distance.

This single function alone is enough to make it comparable to the Skybreaker Mushroom.

Xiao Chusheng was willing to exchange this mushroom for silver water, which clearly showed that he had gone to great lengths.

Of course, if you put yourself in their shoes, you can understand why they did this.

After all, if he were to casually grab another mushroom to fool Wu Liang, he might only end up with 10,000 silver coins.

While 10,000 silver coins could relieve his immediate crisis, it wouldn't allow him to regain his full strength.

Once the operation begins, his strength will not have recovered, and he may very well lose his life here.

In this situation, maintaining a small-farmer mentality is clearly inappropriate.

For this reason, after much hesitation, Xiao Chusheng finally decided to exchange the Space-Trapping Mushroom, a rare mushroom that was of little use to him but was actually no worse than the Space-Breaking Mushroom, for Silver Water.

"The 'air-transfer mushroom'?"

"Indeed, this mushroom is just what I wanted."

Wu Liang could distinguish between good and bad, so naturally he wouldn't refuse such mushrooms.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chusheng was about to ask how to begin the transaction.

Unexpectedly, a rustling sound rang out the next moment.

"not good!"

Xiao Chusheng's expression changed drastically, thinking that he had been exposed and attracted the dragon people.

However, just as he was about to reveal himself and make his escape...

A ferocious and terrifying golden centipede, covered in serrated teeth and with a dark gold body, immediately came into view.

"Don't panic, this is my serrated golden centipede."

"It was specially sent to deliver the silver water to you; those two mushrooms of yours are for it..."

Wu Liang spoke calmly and promptly.

It turns out that he knew from the very beginning that the deal would go through.

Therefore, he sent out the sawtooth golden centipede early on, carrying enough silver water, to wait at Xiao Chusheng's hiding place.

Now that the deal is done, it's time for the Sawtooth Golden Centipede to make its appearance.

As for why Wu Liang didn't let the bloodsucking mosquitoes and flies reveal themselves and instead had them pass on to Yin Shui and the mushrooms, the reason is actually quite simple.

They simply didn't want to expose their blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies so early.

As long as Xiao Chusheng doesn't discover the blood-sucking mosquitoes, his life will remain in Xiao Chusheng's hands.

"I see……"

"Why didn't you say so sooner, Your Excellency? I was so frightened that I thought I was going to be killed."

Xiao Chusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was just a false alarm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately threw out the Spatial Mushroom and the Replacement Mushroom together, handing them to the Sawtooth Centipede.

The serrated golden centipede caught the two mushrooms in its mouth, and then handed the two porcelain bottles, each containing ten thousand taels of silver, to Xiao Chusheng.

Xiao Chusheng visibly felt much more relaxed after receiving the silver water.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the sawtooth centipede had already turned its head and left silently.

"Alright, I have important matters to attend to."

"Take good care of yourself these next two days and wait for my news."

"Remember, this is your only chance to live. Don't let me down."

Wu Liang got what he was supposed to get, and there was nothing more to be gained.

After he finished speaking, his voice disappeared without a trace from Xiao Chusheng's heart.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chusheng, regardless of whether the other person could see it or not, quickly and respectfully bowed.

About an incense stick later, he stopped smiling, and a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

'hateful!'

'If I weren't severely injured and trapped here, why would I need to feign compliance with them?'

'This person took advantage of my misfortune, exchanging two of my level-four mushrooms for 20,000 silver coins. He's utterly despicable!' 'If I manage to get out of here alive, I will definitely find a chance to get my revenge.'

Xiao Chusheng obtained the life-saving silver water, but he felt no gratitude towards Wu Liang; instead, he was filled with resentment.

How could he, the future Xuanhuang Great Celestial Venerable, be willing to suffer such humiliation?

Just as Xiao Chusheng was mentally cursing the so-called Holy Church envoy...

suddenly!

Xiao Chusheng seemed to sense something, and his expression changed drastically!

'How...how is this possible?'

'My consciousness, which I left on the Displacement and Spam-shrooms, was erased so quickly?'

'Those are two level-four mushrooms. Even a level-five mushroom master couldn't possibly refine them so quickly, right?'

Xiao Chusheng was greatly shocked, clearly sensing that the two fourth-level mushrooms had now been completely refined.

Keep in mind that less than an incense stick's time has passed since the sawtooth centipede left with the two mushrooms.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, after leaving the serrated golden centipede and returning to the Holy Church's envoy, there shouldn't be much time left.

Could it be that the Holy Church envoy refined two fourth-level mushrooms in an instant?
To achieve this, one must possess either the skills of an immortal or profound methods of cultivation.

Either of these points is enough to prove that this Holy See envoy is no ordinary person.

Looking at it this way, his previous suspicions were completely unnecessary.

How could a mushroom master who can refine fourth-rank mushrooms in an instant be a weakling? He should at least be a fifth-rank mushroom master!

"hiss!"

Upon realizing this, Xiao Chusheng gasped in shock.

He had originally planned to use his will left on those two mushrooms to quietly make some small moves before they could be refined.

For example, by using his tracking methods, we can find the person's hiding place by following his will and completely confirm his identity.

In this way, if anything unexpected happens, such as if this person goes back on their word and cheats them, they can take the opportunity to fight back to the death.

But looking at it now...

Fortunately, he was worried that the guy was still watching him, so he didn't have time to take action.

Otherwise, if things were exposed, he would probably have to make an enemy of another fifth-level mushroom master.

……

Meanwhile, at Peach Blossom Residence.

Wu Liang was unaware that his act of refining two fourth-rank mushrooms in an instant had intimidated Xiao Chusheng.

At this moment, he was chewing on a blade of grass, with his legs crossed, playing with the Displacement Mushroom and the Teleportation Mushroom, looking quite relaxed.

"Two thousand silver coins were exchanged for two level-four mushrooms, and this silver coin was also used to ensure that the main character of this great show could perform as scheduled in two days."

"Looking at it this way, I've really hit the jackpot this time..."

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes and sneered repeatedly.

Perhaps because he was experimenting with the mushrooms, he didn't care about the consumption of the silver solution.

Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he immediately activated the Spatial Mushroom.

The next moment, he flicked his fingers and released a wisp of life.

Under the influence of the teleportation mushroom, this wisp of life appeared thousands of feet away and landed on a coral.

The coral, infused with this vitality, immediately became full of life.

Wu Liang raised an eyebrow, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, and murmured to himself in a strange tone.

"What a wonderful teleportation mushroom! It can turn the 'life mushroom,' which was originally unable to be used remotely, into a mushroom that can be used from thousands of feet away."

"If the Angry Mushroom is like this, then what if it were used on the Blood Hand Asura Seal, the Illusion Mushroom, and the two mushrooms of forceful acquisition...?"

Wu Liang seemed to be deep in thought, and one idea after another came to mind regarding the development of this mushroom.

Suddenly, he felt even more confident about the show that would happen in two days.

"Heh, I have this mushroom that allows me to perform magic from a distance."

"Even if the Silver Dragon King lays down a net of unimaginable traps, what does it matter?" (End of Chapter)
