Mushroom Man

"Senior Silver Dragon King, you've finally arrived."

"I wonder what about Senior Golden Dragon King..."

Wu Liang opened his eyes and asked in a concerned tone.

The Silver Dragon King shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the Golden Dragon King shouldn't do anything to you again anytime soon."

He was not lying when he said that...

With the Palace Master about to return to the Dragon Palace, the Golden Dragon King will certainly not launch another major attack at this critical juncture.

He has now told the Golden Dragon King that he will protect this child.

In this situation, as long as this child doesn't linger in front of him, the Golden Dragon King won't completely break off relations.

After all, once the Palace Master returns, everything will be resolved easily. There's no need to cause internal strife and unnecessary trouble due to momentary impulses.

"Young friend Wu, this is the Dragon Palace Treasure Vault."

"Why didn't you select the mushrooms you needed beforehand, young friend Wu?"

The Silver Dragon King looked at the starry sky, his tone tinged with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang snorted inwardly.

You're just putting on an act. If I hadn't noticed something was off, you probably wouldn't be behaving like this.

Wu Liang inwardly grumbled, but outwardly showed no sign of it.

He feigned shame, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "This place is a sacred site of the Dragon Palace. As an outsider, how dare I take mushrooms without permission?"

"Moreover, I am also afraid that I might be tempted by greed and take something I shouldn't have."

"To be honest, I just accidentally learned the recipe for a four-stage mushroom."

"At that time, I almost couldn't contain myself and wanted to take all the inheritance here."

"Fortunately, my parents taught me from a young age not to take other people's things without permission, which has allowed me to uphold my principles..."

Wu Liang did not hide the fact that he had once harbored greedy thoughts.

After all, no one is perfect, and most people have greed.

If he were faced with a dazzling array of treasures from the Dragon Palace and felt no greed whatsoever, it would seem rather abnormal.

Moreover, needless to say, this greed was the work of the Silver Dragon King.

If he doesn't react at all, the consequences are predictable...

As it turned out, Wu Liang's honesty was absolutely correct.

Looking at the deeply remorseful Wu Liang, the Silver Dragon King's admiration grew even stronger.

He smiled and patted Wu Liang's head, speaking in a kind and amiable elder's tone, "I knew I hadn't misjudged young friend Wu."

"You are an honest and good child..."

"You are indeed quite different from most human mushroom masters in that you can maintain your integrity amidst greed."

"As a reward for your honesty, the recipe for the Nine-Eyed Wine Mushroom that you obtained earlier is yours."

"Not only that, I also grant you the special privilege of choosing one more mushroom or heirloom from this Dragon Palace treasury that you desire."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang was taken aback.

He snapped out of his daze and quickly waved his hand in refusal.

“Senior Silver Dragon King, I will use this opportunity on mushrooms that can help deduce the mushroom recipe.”

"As for the rest, this junior dares not even dream of it..."

Upon hearing this, the Silver Dragon King was greatly pleased and laughed heartily, saying, "I told you to choose, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Don't worry, the opportunity I'm giving you doesn't include the mushrooms needed to deduce the mushroom recipe."

"The purpose of deriving the mushroom prescription was to help me cure Miaoyin. I should bear all the costs. Why should you waste this opportunity?"

Wu Liang opened his mouth after hearing this, seemingly still wanting to decline. However, before he could speak, the Silver Dragon King waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, I mean what I say. Young friend Wu, you should think it over carefully and decide what kind of mushrooms or inheritance you want to choose."

Seeing this, Wu Liang smiled helplessly.

He looked grateful and said respectfully, "Then this junior will respectfully accept your offer. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Silver Dragon King."

"I'll think about it carefully..."

As Wu Liang spoke, he turned his gaze to the glittering starry sky.

This time, the Silver Dragon King granted him an extra opportunity to choose from the Dragon Palace's treasure vault, which was truly beyond his expectations.

I never expected the Silver Dragon King to be so generous to him.

Looks like I'll have to go easy on the Silver Dragon King next time...

Wu Liang smiled to himself, then began to seriously consider how to make use of this extra opportunity to choose his chance.

For him, in the long run, choosing to inherit is definitely much better than choosing mushrooms.

After all, a legacy may contain several mushroom recipes and secret techniques, making it far more valuable than a single mushroom.

However, there is a drawback to choosing to inherit the legacy, namely that it cannot be quickly converted into immediate combat power.

Having the heritage is one thing, but without the resources, you can't cultivate mushrooms; they'll just sit there collecting dust.

Wu Liang possesses so much inheritance that he can't possibly use it all, and he has no shortage of so-called inheritance.

In terms of bloodline, he possesses the thousand-year-old memories of the Blood River Ancestor.

Their achievements in the bloodline have far surpassed those of the Dragon Palace.

Otherwise, the Silver Dragon King wouldn't have been stumped by a single Dragon Blood Mushroom.

Besides the Blood Path, he also possesses the Power Path, Universe Path, Transformation Path, Slave Path, and Soul Path, among others.

With the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Mushroom as its strength, it can later plot to conquer the Dragon Elephant Grotto Heaven; there is no need to develop strength at present.

Yu Dao possesses the memories of Ren Nixing and Xiao Chusheng, and can later plot to seize the Blissful Land on Beiming Island. There is no need to go to unnecessary trouble to obtain additional Yu Dao inheritance there.

Needless to say, he possesses the inheritance of the Formless Dao. What other inheritance of the Dao of Transformation in the world can compare to the inheritance of the Formless Dao?

Moreover, Wu Liang has no intention of following the path of change, and has no need to inherit this school's legacy.

As for the Path of Slavery and the Path of Souls, they come from Chief Wu, and we might consider exploring them in the future.

However, even if he wanted to obtain the inheritance of these two schools, there was absolutely no need for him to do so through the Dragon Palace.

He could easily use the River of Forgotten Home to retrieve Chief Wu's memories and obtain the inheritance he received from the Holy Church.

Of course, besides these, the Dragon Palace also possesses many other inheritances that have become extinct or are extremely rare in the mushroom world.

Such as the inheritance of the way of eating, the inheritance of the way of dreaming...

However, while Wu Liang was interested in these schools of thought, he wouldn't let them disrupt his future plans.

After much deliberation, he immediately ruled out the option of inheritance.

Wu Liang stroked his chin, thinking for the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

The Silver Dragon King knew that this opportunity must be extremely important for this young man.

So he wasn't in a hurry and just waited quietly, looking every bit like a reliable elder.

Fortunately, Wu Liang didn't keep the Silver Dragon King waiting for too long.

Wu Liang's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and he tentatively asked a question.

"Senior Silver Dragon King..."

"I wonder if this Dragon Palace treasury contains any legendary longevity mushrooms that can extend one's lifespan?" (End of Chapter)
