Mushroom Man

at the same time……

'That fifth-level dragon man is gone?'

'Ah Hong' and 'Ah Lan' were guarding outside the palace when they noticed the rainbow light of the Golden Dragon King's departure, and their eyes flickered slightly.

What exactly happened inside?

'If our senses are correct, it looks like a fight has broken out.'

'Could it be that these dragon people are not a united front, but rather at odds with each other?'

Ah Hong seemed to be deep in thought, and made a bold guess.

'Ah Lan' seemed uninterested in this, and with a flick of his eye, he conveyed his thoughts.

'Alright, stop guessing. It has nothing to do with you or me anyway.'

The more we get involved in the affairs of the Dragon People, the more likely we are to be swept up by fate and become hopelessly entangled in it.

"We only have one goal: to find a way to capture that brat Wu Liang and bring him back to our main body."

'Ah Hong' rolled her eyes, which, combined with the beautiful face of the dragon maid, gave her a rather charming and alluring air.

"Easier said than done. Wu Liang is already a third-level Mushroom Master, and after all, he is the reincarnation of the Formless Celestial Venerable."

'He must have a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve; he should not be regarded as an ordinary third-tier mushroom master.'

'The dragon girl we've possessed is merely a second-tier mushroom master, pitifully weak.'

'With just these two fragments of our souls, there's absolutely no way we can capture Wu Liang by force.'

'Alan' is one with it, so it naturally understands this principle.

Her eyes were deep and unfathomable as she looked up at the ethereal sky.

'Then let's find a way to destroy the mirage!'

'This mirage has a huge impact on us; it not only isolates us from the outside world, but it can even block the transmission of information.'

"With a mirage blocking our way, neither you nor I can convey the exact location of Wu Liang to the three thousand divided souls guarding outside, nor to the original body."

'Currently, neither the main body nor the three thousand divided souls know that Wu Liang is truly here.'

'Furthermore, they had no idea that this Dragon Palace might very well be the place where the dragon rose to power, as described in the fable.'

"If we delay any longer, the three thousand divided souls guarding outside might mistakenly think something has happened to us and rashly invite our main bodies to do something to the Dragon Palace, which would be unwise."

"Therefore, you and I must destroy the mirage as soon as possible so that the three thousand fragments of his soul can capture Wu Liang."

'With three thousand soul fragments, comparable to the Mushroom Immortal's strength, capturing Wu Liang shouldn't be a problem.'

'Once we have Wu Liang, we can immediately withdraw and avoid being drawn into this vortex of fate.'

'Ah Lan' and 'Ah Hong' exchanged a glance, their thoughts racing.

In a very short time, the two completed their communication and reached an agreement.

On a whim, they decided to split up.

The evil spirit 'Ah Hong' is in charge of gathering information and trying to destroy the mirage.

Meanwhile, the benevolent spirit 'Alan' stayed behind in the palace to monitor Wu Liang's movements, lest the boy cause any trouble.

But at this moment...

Unbeknownst to them, Wu Liang was no longer in the palace.

……

"here it is?"

Wu Liang frowned and looked around.

He was now surrounded by a starry sky.

That's right, it's the 'starry sky'!
As far as the eye can see, there are countless stars.

The moment he regained consciousness after being sent out of the palace by the Silver Dragon King, he appeared here.

There is no up, down, left, or right here; there is no time or space; only twinkling points of light like stars.

These points of light are of various colors, sizes, and colors, creating a dazzling array.

Out of curiosity, Wu Liang casually grabbed a ball of light into his hand.

In an instant, a piece of information flooded into his mind: 【Food Heritage: Nine-Eyed Wine Mushroom】

[Take two Rank 3 Seven-Fragrance Wine Mushrooms, and combine them with the eyes of nine Rank 3 Mushroom Beasts to refine them...]

"The recipe for the Four-Turned Nine-Eyed Wine Mushroom!"

Wu Liang's mind was stirred, and his eyes gleamed.

By this point, he was perfectly clear about where he was.

Without a doubt, this must be the most mysterious treasure trove of the Dragon Palace.

I didn't expect the Silver Dragon King to be so kind as to teleport him here directly.

Wu Liang gazed at the starry sky and gasped almost imperceptibly.

If all these stars are inheritances from mushrooms, that would be a bit of an exaggeration.

The sheer wealth of this Dragon Palace treasury alone is probably comparable to any top power in the four continents.

I wonder if there is any inheritance at the level of a Mushroom Immortal in this treasure vault.

If there is a lineage at the level of a Mushroom Immortal, wouldn't he be set for life?

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang was immediately filled with greed, a desire to possess all the inheritances here.

And it was at this moment...

The human heart mushroom in the dantian swayed slightly.

'No, something's not right!'

Wu Liang seemed to realize something, and through the Human Heart Mushroom, he sensed his own human heart, which seemed to have been influenced by something, thus becoming greedy.

He became more vigilant, but remained outwardly calm, silently releasing the mushroom recipe from his hand.

The mushrooms transformed back into countless points of light, dotting the vast sea of ​​stars.

He had memorized the recipe for the Nine-Eyed Wine Mushroom, so putting it back wouldn't be a big deal.

Wu Liang tried hard to restrain himself, and quickly sat down cross-legged, no longer looking at the starry sky.

But the greed in his heart continued to fester and grow wildly.

In the past, Wu Liang would have been helpless against him, but now things are different...

Then Wu Liang's mind stirred, and he silently activated the Calm Mushroom and the Cold-Blooded Mushroom.

Under the influence of these two mushrooms, his restless mind gradually calmed down, and his greed vanished without a trace.
Wu Liang remained expressionless and indifferent, ignoring the allure of the stars.

'It seems this is going to be a test...'

'If I'm not mistaken, the Silver Dragon King should be secretly observing my every move right now.'

'If I don't perform well, the good image I've painstakingly cultivated will immediately vanish.'

'Tests are everywhere. The Silver Dragon King doesn't fully trust me. I'll have to be more careful from now on.'

"Fortunately, I obtained Xiao Chusheng's Human Heart Mushroom. The timely warning from the Human Heart Mushroom saved me from being poisoned."

'Otherwise, driven by greed, I would surely reveal my true nature and recklessly plunder the Dragon Palace's treasures.'

'The consequences would be unimaginable...'

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He really hadn't expected that the Silver Dragon King would actually play a trick on him by entrapment.

However, judging from the current situation, he is clearly the one with the better skills.

Wu Liang closed his eyes and silently waited for the Silver Dragon King to appear.

He waited for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Just as Wu Liang had predicted...

The Silver Dragon King was indeed hiding in the shadows, carefully observing Wu Liang.

Seeing that the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed, and that Wu Liang was still not blinded by greed, the Silver Dragon King nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

The next moment, the figure of the Silver Dragon King appeared beside Wu Liang.

"Young friend Wu, you've kept me waiting..." (End of Chapter)
