Mushroom Man

Is there a serious problem with the mushroom material used to refine Dragon Blood Mushroom?

Seeing Wu Liang's appearance, the Silver Dragon King knew perfectly well that the last ingredient was likely something he couldn't accept.

Otherwise, why would this boy be so hesitant and afraid to even tell him what the main ingredient is?

Upon thinking of this, the joy on the Silver Dragon King's face vanished completely.

He took a deep breath, then looked at Wu Liang and spoke.

"Young friend Wu, just tell me what this last main ingredient is."

"Ever since I learned that the Dragon Blood Mushroom was a blood-path mushroom, I was mentally prepared for this."

"After all, the vast majority of blood fungi require mushroom substrate that is devoid of humanity."

"As long as Miaoyin can live a healthy life, I, the King, can abandon all principles and buy the corresponding Blood Path Mushroom materials from those Demonic Mushroom Masters for you..."

As the Silver Dragon King said, he had actually been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

He's not some clueless idiot.

Now that they know that Dragon Blood Mushroom is a blood-path mushroom, how could they have unrealistic ideas that refining this mushroom would not require any sacrifice?

Although the Silver Dragon King was an indecisive, weak, and overly kind-hearted man, he was willing to go against his conscience, abandon his morality, and break his bottom line for the sake of his daughter's life.

This can be seen from the fact that he was willing to fight the Golden Dragon King and defy the laws of the Dragon Palace for Wu Liang.

In fact, long ago, the Silver Dragon King had already secretly colluded with the Demonic Mushroom Master in order to find the recipe for the Dragon Blood Mushroom.

To some extent, Wu Liang's actions in leading the Golden Dragon King to suspect the Silver Dragon King of colluding with the human race were actually a lucky accident that revealed the truth.

That's why he was speechless and didn't try to explain when the Golden Dragon King questioned the Silver Dragon King about whether he was colluding with humans.

The way the Silver Dragon King colluded with the human demonic mushroom masters was by using a certain type of cosmic mushroom for resource trading.

The Demonic Mushroom Master provided him with clues about Dragon Blood Mushrooms, as well as various kinds of Blood Path Mushroom materials, while he provided the Demonic Mushroom Master with rare resources such as Dragon Fish.

The Silver Dragon King was able to recognize at a glance that Wu Liang might be a Blood Path Mushroom Master.

It was precisely because he had dealt with the Demonic Mushroom Master many times that he was already extremely familiar with the Blood Path.

Furthermore, he had previously planned to buy a Righteous Qi Mushroom for Wu Liang to use in dealing with the Golden Dragon King, because he had a way to deceive the Golden Dragon King and trade with human mushroom masters outside the region.

It can be said that the Silver Dragon King is the most deeply hidden figure in the Dragon Palace.

On the surface, he seems to be a kind-hearted person, but in reality, he is a traitor who betrayed the interests of the Dragon Palace and was involved with the Demonic Mushroom Master.

“Senior Silver Dragon King…” Wu Liang sighed, and seeing this, he no longer concealed anything.

"The final main ingredient for Dragon Blood Mushrooms requires living dragon people as the mushroom substrate."

“The Dragon Blood Mushroom that Miss Miaoyin previously consumed was equivalent to the lives of at least ten dragon people.”

"The price is considerable. Even if Senior Silver Dragon King has a way to buy Blood Path Mushrooms, how can these dragon people buy them?"

As soon as Wu Liang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room plummeted.

No one expected that the Dragon Blood Mushroom would use dragon people as its substrate.

The unconscious Ao Miaoyin heard everything.

With her kind heart, she couldn't accept that the dragon blood mushrooms she consumed were made from the lives of dragon people.

Ao Miaoyin wanted to open her eyes and wake up so that her father and Young Master Wu would no longer allow the dragon people to be harmed in order to save her.

If her life required the lives of other dragons to be saved, she would rather die quietly.

Otherwise, she feared she would never be able to forgive herself. However, no matter how hard she tried, her body wouldn't obey her commands; she couldn't even shout out to dissuade her father from giving up on her.

Only Wu Liang sensed something and felt the feedback from the Human Heart Mushroom, glancing almost imperceptibly at Ao Miaoyin.

He seemed to be deep in thought before focusing his attention on the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King fell silent after hearing that dragonmen would be used to refine mushrooms.

'The main ingredient of Dragon Blood Mushroom is actually a dragonman...'

'Yes, dragon blood mushroom, dragon blood mushroom, what else would dragon people use?'

'It's ridiculous that I never thought of that.'

The Silver Dragon King's thoughts flashed by, and he gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Actually, you can't blame him. You never thought that Dragon Blood Mushrooms would require Dragon People as materials.

The only one to blame is the being who bestowed upon him the Dragon Transformation Technique, who deliberately concealed the matter of the Dragon Blood Mushroom.

As the Silver Dragon King recalled this, his thoughts drifted back to decades ago...

At that time, he had just adopted Ao Miaoyin and was struggling with how to settle down with the daughter of his old friend.

Just as he was racking his brains for a solution... a senior colleague suddenly appeared!
The senior claimed to be Indra, an immortal who happened to be passing by and accidentally discovered his affair with Xie Boya.

Seeing his deep sense of loyalty and righteousness, Indra bestowed upon him a great opportunity.

This opportunity is precisely the so-called Dragon Transformation Method!
When the Silver Dragon King heard about the Dragon Transformation Technique, he was immediately astonished and believed it to be true.

With the help of Indra, he successfully transformed Ao Miaoyin from a human into a dragon-human using the Dragon Transformation and Mushroom Refining Technique.

However, unexpected events followed one after another...

The Dragon Transformation Technique bestowed by Indra is essentially about treating humans as fungi and refining them into fungi called Dragon People.

This method may seem fine, but it actually poses a great hidden danger.

First of all, whether human or extraordinary, they are all living beings in this world.

Although all living beings in the world, like mushrooms, are born from mushroom people, they are different from one another.

Living beings are not fungi, and fungi are not living beings; each has its own irreplaceable qualities.

Otherwise, the mushroom maker who pioneered the mushroom world wouldn't have gone to the trouble of sacrificing himself to create 'human beings' after creating mushrooms.

To completely transform a 'human' into a mushroom would undoubtedly result in the loss of the 'human's' uniqueness, including emotions and even consciousness.

This led to problems with Ao Miaoyin's emotions and consciousness after she was transformed into a dragon-human mushroom.

Once she becomes emotionally agitated, Ao Miaoyin's self-awareness as a 'human being' will be partially lost.

However, that's not all. After all, if that were all, the Silver Dragon King had countless ways to solve the problem.

The truly fatal hidden danger lies in the fact that Ao Miaoyin, as a Dragon Mushroom, needs to be fed!

If you want to feed Dragonman Mushroom, the only option is Dragon Blood Mushroom; you cannot use Silver Water as a substitute.

If it is not fed for a long time, Ao Miaoyin will gradually weaken like an ordinary mushroom and eventually wither and die.

This……

This is the real truth behind Ao Miaoyin's so-called incurable illness! (End of Chapter)
