Mushroom Man

"The most urgent task right now is to refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom as soon as possible so that we can leave this place of trouble sooner."

"The Palace Master's return date is uncertain; we must not allow him to block the Dragon Palace."

Wu Liang suppressed his distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about irrelevant things.

With a sudden thought, he turned back to the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

At this moment, Master Gu had already settled the group of dragon people, waiting for him to use them for mushroom refining.

Seeing this, Wu Liang nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Without hesitation, he immediately selected ten dragonmen who were still in good spirits and threw them straight into the blood pool.

The blood pool can refine these dragonmen, removing unnecessary impurities and leaving only their essence blood for use in mushroom refining.

After Wu Liang finished doing all this, he waved his hand and threw a large amount of blood mushroom materials into the pool to boil.

In a short while, the blood pool churned with crimson boiling water, and a rich, bloody aroma, along with the heat, spread in all directions.

However, this is not the end!

What Wu Liang is doing now is merely the preparatory work for refining Dragon Blood Mushrooms.

The refining of fourth-stage mushrooms is far more complex than that of second- or third-stage mushrooms.

For ordinary second- or third-stage mushrooms, simply prepare the mushroom materials, refine the mushrooms, and infuse them with true energy to complete the process.

If Wu Liang wants to refine the Dragon Blood Mushroom, he must stay in the Blood Pool for the next few days.

At specific times, specific mushroom materials and fungi must be added, allowing no room for error.

More importantly, although he only needs to refine one Dragon Blood Mushroom, he actually needs to refine a total of seven mushrooms.

Each mushroom needs to be refined according to the recipe and gradually synthesized in order to produce Dragon Blood Mushroom.

For example, Wu Liang first needs to refine two first-stage mushrooms: Fish Blood Mushroom and Snake Blood Mushroom.

Then, refine the Fish Blood Mushroom into a second-stage Dragon Fish Blood Mushroom, and refine the Snake Blood Mushroom into a second-stage Horned Snake Blood Mushroom.

The two can be combined to obtain the Three-Turn Dragon Blood Mushroom.

Then, one must take deer antlers, camel heads, rabbit eyes, snake necks, clam bellies, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, ox ears, and other transformative materials to refine the Three-Turn Dragon-Shaped Mushroom.

Three-stage Dragon Blood Mushrooms and three-stage Dragon Shape Mushrooms, along with more than ten Dragon People and nine kinds of slave-path mushroom materials, are combined and refined when the dragon's roar sounds. Only then can a four-stage Dragon Blood Mushroom be refined.

The whole process is extremely complex and tedious. If a mistake is made in the middle, it has to be started all over again, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

It's easy to imagine just how terrifying the resources are required to refine a fourth-level mushroom.

Fortunately, Wu Liang doesn't need to worry about the consumption of these resources; the Silver Dragon King will handle it.

Even so, refining dragon blood mushrooms is by no means a task that can be accomplished in just two days.

For an ordinary cultivator, it would take at least ten days to half a month to complete this.

Wu Liang was confident that he could complete the process within two days, relying entirely on two major advantages.

Firstly, his mastery of the Blood Refining Method, combined with Blood Pool Mushrooms and Blood Refining Mushrooms, allows him to eliminate most of the tedious steps.

Secondly, with Gu Zhenren assisting him, he can help out.

It should be noted that Bone Master was once a genuine fifth-level mushroom master.

Although he is now a zombie, he is more agile than Yan Zhaodi because he refines his true energy with Tianyuan Lingzhi mushroom and silver water.

He is more than capable of assisting with mushroom refining and can also solve many problems related to mushroom refining.

Under these circumstances, it's not a big deal for Wu Liang to refine a fourth-grade Dragon Blood Mushroom in two days.

Unfortunately, Blood Pool Mushroom and Blood Refining Mushroom only have three upgrades.

If he can find the time in the future, he can upgrade both of these mushrooms to the fourth level.

It is estimated that refining fourth-level bloodline mushrooms such as Dragon Blood Mushroom will be even more convenient.

"Bleeding, mushroom refining..."

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and cold as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately activated the blood pool and began blood refining.

In an instant, blood-red light filled the surroundings, and thick blood mist rose from the boiling blood pool.

The already gloomy and dimly lit ninth floor became even more chilling under this atmosphere. Calling it a den of demons would not be an exaggeration at all.

……

Two days later.

A life-or-death chase unfolded in the Beihai area, near the Mingyue Islands.

However, the two sides in this chase are not ordinary mushroom masters, but celestial mushroom immortals who are above them.

"Eminent Buddhist monks!"

“I am but a rogue cultivator. I am usually cautious and have never committed any murder. I have no enmity with the Pure Heaven Buddhist Kingdom. Why must you try to kill me?”

A Taoist priest, fleeing in a disheveled state, cried out hoarsely to the sky.

His face was covered in deep furrows, and the injuries made it look even more ferocious.

Beneath the blood-stained Taoist robe, his qi was in disarray, clearly indicating that he had been severely injured in the previous entanglement.

As soon as the Taoist finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and used all his strength to activate the three immortal mushrooms...

Exercise mushrooms help them move faster, running mushrooms unblock the flow of magical energy, and walking mushrooms enhance their speed.

In an instant, the Taoist's feet seemed to generate wind, and his formless and intangible luck transformed into clouds, carrying his figure swiftly away into the distance.

And this Taoist priest who is skilled in using fungi is none other than the unlucky Taoist priest who has been having a terrible run of bad luck lately!
"My Buddha is compassionate..."

A powerful Buddhist chant came from behind, piercing through the clouds and reaching the ears of the Taoist priest.

"Please, do not resist any longer..."

"You drank with the demon on Shura Island, that is one sin."

"Leaving the Nine Heavens without permission and lingering in the North Sea are two crimes."

“Concealing a successor without the right path and deviating from the righteous path are the three sins.”

"Tell me, benefactor, what is wrong with us arresting you?"

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly looked back.

A golden lotus flower drifted slowly in from the horizon, following him at a leisurely pace.

On the lotus platform, five eminent Buddhist monks sat, lay down, crossed their legs, or leaned against something.

They stood with their hands clasped together, looking relaxed, occasionally chatting and laughing in hushed tones, completely disregarding the Taoist priest.

In addition, there was another young monk who looked around restlessly, which was out of place with the composure of the senior monks.

Such contempt filled the man with a sense of humiliation.

He gritted his teeth again, channeling the Azure Cloud Immortal Qi within his body, and his escape speed suddenly increased several times.

Just like the mushroom masters, the ethereal aura of mushroom fairies is also divided into different levels.

The sixth-level Mushroom Immortal uses Azure Cloud Immortal Qi, the seventh-level uses Crimson Cloud Immortal Qi, and the eighth-level uses Purple Cloud Immortal Qi.

The Taoist Master Mei had only recently ascended to immortality and was merely a newly promoted sixth-level mushroom immortal, so the azure immortal energy within him was already quite thin.

In their attempt to escape, they managed to deplete two or three tenths of their remaining resources.

Even so, the golden lotus still followed him everywhere.

Regardless of his speed, Jinlian always maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

Clearly, those five Buddhist monks were playing a trick on him.

“Benefactor, we do not wish to commit any more killings.”

On the lotus platform, a white-browed high monk slowly nodded and calmly advised, "If you are willing to wake up in time and hand over the successor of the Formless lineage, we will not treat you with the wrath of Vajra."

"At that time, all you need to do is lay down your butcher's knife and convert to Buddhism. Not only will your past sins be forgiven, but you might even be able to do good deeds in the Pure Heaven Buddhist Kingdom."

Upon hearing these words from the White-Browed Monk, the Taoist's expression changed slightly.

His pace unconsciously slowed down, and his eyes flickered as if he was about to make a move.

But at this moment...

From within the blessed land of the Unlucky Taoist, came the extremely panicked voice of a young man! (End of Chapter)
