Mushroom Man

"Longevity mushroom?"

The Silver Dragon King was taken aback at first, but then his expression turned extremely strange after he realized what was happening.

You little rascal!

You really dare to say that!

Longevity mushrooms are something even he wouldn't dare dream of, yet you're talking about them right off the bat. Do you think the Dragon Palace is a sucker?
The Silver Dragon King coughed twice and said irritably, "Young friend Wu, you should choose another one."

"The Dragon Palace Treasury does indeed contain longevity mushrooms, but I have no authority to access them."

"Only the Palace Master has the authority to mobilize the Longevity Mushroom. I've never even seen what a Longevity Mushroom looks like in my entire life..."

Not a buddy?

There really are longevity mushrooms in the Dragon Palace?

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang raised an eyebrow.

Actually, when he asked about the longevity mushroom, he just wanted to take the opportunity to ask, and he didn't really have any wild ideas or intend to ask for any longevity mushroom.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that the Dragon Palace would never casually give away such a precious longevity mushroom to an outsider.

'I didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise...'

'It seems I absolutely must have this Dragon Palace.'

As Wu Liang's thoughts raced, his resolve to seize the Dragon Palace and become its master grew stronger.

However, now is clearly not the time to think about these things.

Wu Liang feigned embarrassment, scratched his head awkwardly, and then said, "I'm sorry, I've only heard of longevity mushrooms, I didn't expect them to be so precious."

"If that's the case, then this junior will choose a... 4th-tier Relic Mushroom!"

Wu Liang revealed his true objective by showing his dagger in the enigmatic map.

That's right!

What Wu Liang really wanted wasn't the Longevity Mushroom, but the Relic Mushroom!
For him, the mushrooms were not as useful as he had imagined.

After all, he had only recently possessed Wu De's body and still had plenty of lifespan left, so there was no need for him to waste his opportunity.

Even if he obtains the Longevity Mushroom, he will only use it to refine the Second Dantian Mushroom in the future, or to trade with others.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually better to choose a sari mushroom.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Shari Mushroom can bring Wu Liang a real boost.

He is currently a mid-level third-tier mushroom master and will soon be promoted to a high-level third-tier mushroom master.

At that time, by using a three-turn Relic Mushroom, you can immediately achieve the peak of three turns.

With just a little time and practice, he could easily achieve the initial stage of the fourth rank.

If he could obtain a fourth-rank relic mushroom, he could easily advance to the middle stage of the fourth rank in a short period of time.

Even Morobi, who possesses the True Martial Demon-Slaying Body, might not be able to match his speed of progress.

Moreover, by improving his cultivation, he can also obtain the secrets revealed by the hermit.

From the intermediate stage of the third rank to the intermediate stage of the fourth rank, he can obtain four secrets, the value of which is immeasurable.

In this situation, the choice becomes obvious.

Moreover, even if he doesn't use the Relic Mushroom on himself, he can save it to refine the Second Dantian Mushroom or the Tai Sui Mushroom.

Both the second Dantian mushroom and the Tai Sui mushroom require the use of four-turn relic mushrooms.

Therefore, Wu Liang chose the sari mushroom, knowing he wouldn't lose out no matter what.

only……

If you directly ask for the fourth-tier relic mushroom, the Silver Dragon King is very likely to refuse.

After all, a single fourth-rank relic mushroom can directly elevate a fourth-rank dragon-man mushroom master to a higher realm.

Such extremely precious resources would require careful consideration even for a place as large as the Dragon Palace; it certainly wouldn't be easily bestowed upon an outsider.

Fortunately, Wu Liang was aware of this, which is why he asked for the longevity mushrooms.

This move was solely for the purpose of setting the stage for the Shari-mushroom. First, they made an exorbitant demand, and then they asked for the Shari-mushroom, which is inferior to the Shou-mushroom.

The Silver Dragon King has already refused him once, and for the sake of his pride, he will most likely not refuse his request again.

as predicted……

The Silver Dragon King frowned, seemingly hesitant.

Are you sure you want to choose the fourth-tier Relic Mushroom?

"With your current cultivation level of only mid-stage third rank, you probably won't need a fourth-rank relic mushroom for the time being, right?"

"I must give you a piece of advice: sometimes it's not about the mushroom having the highest possible scalar count, but rather about finding the mushroom that best suits your needs."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head firmly and then said, "I naturally understand what Senior Silver Dragon King has to say."

"However, I have my reasons for making this choice."

"To be honest, I already possess a three-stage relic mushroom."

"As long as I cultivate diligently for a period of time, I will soon be able to reach the fourth level, so there is no need to worry about not being able to use it."

"I am aware that my cultivation is low and I wish to become as strong as possible, so I humbly request Senior Silver Dragon King to grant my request."

Wu Liang had already said all that, so how could the Silver Dragon King refuse?

The Silver Dragon King gave Wu Liang a deep look, seemingly surprised that this boy actually possessed a three-turn relic mushroom.

Previously, this person only said that he was a rogue mushroom master from the North Sea.

However, how could a mere rogue cultivator obtain such a treasure as a three-turn relic mushroom?

He knew all too well that the rogue cultivators of the North Sea were all dirt poor.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked becoming pirates, plundering others and begging for food everywhere.

Moreover, when this child first entered the Dragon Palace, his cultivation level was only at the second stage.

Only a month or two has passed, and this child has already reached the middle stage of the third stage of cultivation.

He hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now, upon reflection, he realized that such a rapid pace of progress was simply astonishing.

This shows that this person is definitely not as simple as he claims.

But no matter what, none of this has anything to do with him.

He might have cared about this a lot in the past, and might even have questioned Wu Liang about it.

However, for him now, what secrets this child might hold is not important.

The important question is whether this child harbors malicious intentions and whether his feelings for Miaoyin are genuine.

Once he could confirm these two points, he could confidently entrust Miaoyin to this boy.

As for the secret this child was hiding, the Silver Dragon King didn't care; on the contrary, he was happy to see it happen.

After all, this means that this child is not simple, and most likely he will still be able to protect Miaoyin after leaving the Dragon Palace.

This was more than enough for the Silver Dragon King.

"Very well, since young friend Wu insists on this, then I will grant your wish."

"I hope that after obtaining this fourth-level relic mushroom, young friend Wu will strive to cultivate and become a fourth-level mushroom master as soon as possible."

The Silver Dragon King smiled helplessly, reached out and grabbed the distant point of light.

When he opened his palm, the four-turn relic mushroom, shimmering with a purple-gold halo, came into view.

If Wu Liang can reach the fourth level and his cultivation level improves rapidly, it will be a good thing for him.

A fourth-level strength is enough to protect Miaoyin's personal safety.

That is why he bestowed the four-turn relic mushroom upon Wu Liang.

If it were anyone else, daring to make such an outrageous demand for a fourth-grade relic mushroom, he would have already rejected them.

Wu Liang accepted the four-turn relic mushroom, his smile genuine and sincere.

"Many thanks to Senior Silver Dragon King for your kindness..." (End of Chapter)
