Mushroom Man

"There's definitely something wrong with those two dragon maids..."

Wu Liang's face was ashen, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

During this period, he would often run into 'Ah Lan' by chance.

One or two times might be explained by coincidence.

If this happens one or two times in a row, then it can't be explained by coincidence.

Adding to the malice that Renxin Gu sensed, it was clear that these two dragon maids must have some kind of scheme against him.

The fact that 'Ah Lan' frequently appeared near him suggests that she might be spying on him.

The only thing that remains uncertain is who instructed these two dragon maids to harbor such strong malice towards him.

"Ah Hong and Ah Lan's masters are Ao Miaoyin and the Silver Dragon King."

"Could it be that the Silver Dragon King gave them some instructions?"

"No, that's not right..."

Upon considering this, Wu Liang shook his head and decisively rejected the conjecture.

The Silver Dragon King harbored no ill will towards him and even needed him to deduce the mushroom recipe, so it was impossible for him to harm him.

If the Silver Dragon King wanted to monitor him, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.

With the Silver Dragon King's methods, he could control his movements at any time without needing any maids.

If it weren't for the Silver Dragon King, who else in the Dragon Palace would want to harm him?
Golden Dragon King?

Wu Liang frowned. At first glance, the Golden Dragon King was indeed the most suspicious.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know that, given the Golden Dragon King's personality, he would never make such a secret surveillance arrangement.

The Golden Dragon King was arrogant and domineering.

If they wanted to monitor him or harm him, they wouldn't need to send these dragon maids.

"Not the Golden Dragon King, not the Silver Dragon King..."

"Could it be that these two dragon maids acted on their own initiative, and because of my human identity, they harbor ill will towards me?"

Wu Liang rubbed his chin; this guess did have some possibility.

However, upon closer examination, it makes no sense at all.

Ah Hong and Ah Lan, these two dragon maids, were only mushroom masters at the second level of cultivation.

They have neither status nor power, so how dare they plot against him?
Moreover, the Silver Dragon King has already made it clear that he is safe. No matter how much Ah Hong and Ah Lan hate humans, they shouldn't risk their masters' wrath by secretly coming to monitor him, right?

Looking at it this way, there must be a mastermind behind these two dragon maids whose background is unknown.

The mastermind behind this is very likely a dragon-man mushroom master in the Dragon Palace who hates humans.

Aside from that, Wu Liang couldn't think of any other possibilities for the time being.

"It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you."

"It's easy to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."

"These two maids are too malicious towards me; they will surely harm me in the future."

"To avoid affecting my plans, I must find a way to get rid of these guys as soon as possible."

As Wu Liang's thoughts raced, a flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

At this point, he had made up his mind to find an opportunity to get rid of these two rather strange dragon maids.

If circumstances allowed, he even wanted to perform a soul search on the two of them and then follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it all.

Only by wiping out all these guys can we prevent problems before they occur.

But before that...

"It's time to prepare to break through to the peak of the third rank."

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly as he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind for the time being.

During this period, he had adjusted himself to his best condition, and his dantian had reached its limit after being nourished by true qi.

He could start breaking through from the middle stage of the third rank to the high stage of the third rank whenever he wanted, and then use the relic mushroom to reach the peak of the third rank.

Once he reaches the peak of the third stage, his strength will experience a leap forward.

At that time, given the quality of the true qi in Wu Liangjia's dantian, stimulating some fourth-level mushrooms should not be a problem. In this way, he can take advantage of the fickle nature of human nature, change his own mindset, and truly begin refining righteous qi mushrooms.

Wu Liang, having thought of this, no longer hesitated and immediately created a blood shadow.

The next moment, under the effect of the impermanent human face, the blood shadow instantly transformed into Wu Liang's appearance.

Wu Liang, whose appearance is ever-changing, is unrecognizable from any angle.

Wu Liang was very satisfied with this, and with a thought, he entered the Demon Suppression Tower.

……

The fourth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Yan Zhaodi was covered in sweat, frowning as she pondered something.

Yan Zhaodi's eyes lit up the moment Wu Liang appeared.

"Master, you've finally arrived!"

"The mushroom recipe that you previously instructed Zhao Di to deduce has now been almost completed. Please take a look, Master."

Yan Zhaodi hopped over and then took out a mushroom recipe and handed it to Wu Liang.

"Very good, well done."

Wu Liang smiled and patted Yan Zhaodi's head, wiping the sweat from her forehead before taking the mushroom recipe.

Yan Zhaodi blushed at her master's actions, and her toes involuntarily clenched together.

Oh, how embarrassing!

'It feels like Master has gone back to how he used to be, suddenly becoming so gentle...'

Yan Zhaodi shook her head, not daring to let her mind wander.

She blushed and mumbled a few words in a low voice.

“It’s all Zhaodi’s duty; the master deserves the most credit.”

"If it weren't for the mushrooms provided by the master, allowing Zhao Di to use her diligent study and practice to deduce the mushroom recipe, she wouldn't have progressed so quickly..."

That's right!

Ever since Wu Liang collected all the mushrooms he needed for his arduous training from the Dragon Palace Treasury, he immediately handed them over to Yan Zhaodi.

During this period, Yan Zhaodi has been diligently studying and practicing, racking her brains every day to deduce the recipe for mushrooms.

"You silly girl, I don't need the mushroom recipe much, there's no need to go to such lengths."

"Go and get some rest. We'll need you to refine the mushrooms later."

Wu Liang took out a box of desserts that he had specially obtained from the Dragon Girl's maid and handed it to Yan Zhaodi.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhaodi beamed with joy, accepted the dessert, and skipped off to enjoy it.

Wu Liang couldn't help but smile.

He's such a good kid who never grows up. Not only is he easy to fool, but he can also tirelessly make mushrooms and deduce mushroom recipes for him.

Even if you offered him a magic mushroom in exchange for such a top-quality beast, he probably wouldn't agree.

Wu Liang shook his head, his gaze then falling on the mushroom recipe that Yan Zhaodi had painstakingly derived over the past few days.

The writing on the mushroom square was crooked and messy, like a child's scribbles.

Clearly, it was quite difficult for Yan Zhaodi to write the prescription in her beastly form.

Fortunately, although the handwriting is ugly, it does not affect the legibility of the writing.

Then, on the mushroom recipe, there was a clear record of the method for refining a four-stage mushroom called the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede.

Without a doubt, this is another refining method for the Sawtooth Golden Centipede, besides the Electric-toothed Killer Centipede.

In the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, this path of refinement could ultimately be refined into a Six-Turn Thousand-Eyed Golden Centipede Immortal Mushroom, possessing immense potential.

Wu Liang asked Yan Zhaodi to deduce the mushroom formula based on the incomplete formula he knew, in order to further enhance the Serrated Golden Centipede.

Once the Serrated Golden Centipede is refined into the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede, he might even dare to go toe-to-toe with a Fourth-Rank Mushroom Master.

This shows just how terrifying the Multi-Eyed Golden Centipede truly is… (End of Chapter)
