Mushroom Man

"Ah, that's it..."

When Wu Liang heard that the executive's words were not intended to win him over as a guest advisor to the Zhenlong Merchant Caravan, he immediately gave an embarrassed smile.

To be honest, he really thought that the senior executives wanted him to become a guest advisor and gamble for that so-called young master.

Unexpectedly, they didn't even recognize my abilities...

Of course, this is normal, since the identity he assumed was not something that could be considered respectable.

But in this case, it might actually be a good thing?

Wu Liang's eyes darted around, and he immediately smiled and said, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's just asking me to help recommend a guest advisor."

"No problem, no problem, it's just a small matter and not worth mentioning."

"I recently made a good friend who is very powerful and is currently short of silver."

“If the Zhenlong Caravan can afford the payment, my friend would be very happy to help the Zhenlong Caravan.”

Upon hearing this, the senior executive was overjoyed and quickly chimed in, saying, "That's excellent, excellent indeed!"

"Our Zhenlong caravan may not have much else, but we have no shortage of silver. You don't need to worry about the reward at all."

"Next, I will have to trouble Fellow Daoist Zhuo to take care of things."

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo has been a great help to our Zhenlong Merchant Caravan. If you need anything in the future, just let us know."

"Our Zhenlong Caravan will never mistreat Fellow Daoist Zhuo..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang chuckled softly and nodded in satisfaction.

If the plan goes smoothly, he will likely be treated unfairly, no matter who is wronged.

At that time, Wu Liang was the one who did business with the Zhenlong Caravan selling bubble fish, and he was also the one who became a guest retainer of the Zhenlong Caravan.

He could also use this opportunity, under the guise of being exceptional, to earn two referral rewards.

This move can be described as getting three benefits from one fish, with one person enjoying three portions of the profits.

The poor executive is still completely unaware of what happened; he was sold out and is now helping to count the money, and even has to thank the person who did it...

Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but let a barely perceptible smile appear on his lips.

It just goes to show that human faces are ever-changing and human hearts are unpredictable.

The combined power of these two signature moves of the Formless Celestial Venerables gives him an immense amount of room to maneuver.

With just these two killer moves, he was able to fool the world and make everyone run around in circles.

The two killer moves combined are so powerful that they can defy the heavens. If one last person were to join them, the entire world of reason and instability would be at stake...

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and thoughtful as he suppressed his thoughts and stopped overthinking.

He chatted casually with the executives for a few minutes, then paid 10,000 taels of silver to collect all the mushrooms, mushroom materials, fine wine, and eyeballs.

In addition, before leaving, Wu Liang sold some of his less important resources to the Zhenlong Caravan.

These resources included many mushrooms and mushroom substrates that he could not use.

Such as...

Anger, death, alcohol, and a host of other respiratory fungi.

Once upon a time, Wu Liang was a Qi Dao Mushroom Master.

It's a pity that he already possesses the more powerful Blood Path and Universe Path. If he were to stubbornly delve into the Qi Path, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

Today, he rarely uses the mushrooms of the Qi-based school.

Some of these airway mushrooms are even rare mushrooms, and you can't buy them even if you want to.

Once it's sold, anyone would feel reluctant.

However reluctant he was, Wu Liang would not keep these mushrooms, which were no longer keeping up with his pace, as a burden. Keeping these useless mushrooms on him would only increase his feeding burden.

Therefore, the best option was to replace it with silver water and continue to contribute to his cultivation path.

However, Wu Liang still had some sense of propriety; he didn't sell all the extremely scarce mushrooms at once.

For example, the Fetal Mushroom still has some value to him, possibly related to future construction, so it was preserved.

In addition to the airway mushrooms, Wu Liang also sold the soul-path mushrooms he obtained from 'Alan' to the Zhenlong Caravan.

Most of these soul-path mushrooms were taken from the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Formation.

Wu Liang kept only a portion for future refining of Blood Demon Corpses, and replaced the rest with silver water.

As for mushroom materials, he sold the nurture materials he obtained from Bajiaoshan and Longgong.

Wu Liang did not intend to practice the Slave Path school, so the Slave Path materials were not very useful to him, and silver water was obviously more suitable instead.

These miscellaneous items, once sold, amounted to a total of over five thousand drops of silver liquid.

If you include the five thousand drops of silver water he had previously requisitioned from Zhou Zilun, he still had a total of ten thousand drops of silver water on him.

This amount of silver is far from enough for a wealthy cultivator like Wu Liang.

Fortunately, he was confident that he could multiply the silver several times over in a short period of time.

As Wu Liang stepped out of the Zhenlong caravan, the sky was already gradually darkening.

He stopped wandering around and bought some food before following the lead back to Zhuo Buqun's home.

The Zhuo family's residence is located near the Chaotic Star Gambling House; it's a small courtyard of moderate size.

As soon as Wu Liang opened the courtyard gate, he saw a woman in a purple dress leading a little girl and carrying large and small bags, seemingly about to leave.

When the woman in the purple dress saw Wu Liang return, her face turned deathly pale.

The little girl with pigtails, who looked innocent and cute, hid behind the woman in the purple dress in fear.

"Where are you all going?"

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the mother and daughter.

The woman in the purple dress was very nervous and stammered, "Tao, Tao'er is hungry, let's buy some food."

"Oh? Buying food?" Wu Liang glanced at the bags and luggage on their bodies.

The woman in the purple dress noticed his gaze and nervously hid her package, but this was clearly a self-deceptive act.

Surprisingly, Wu Liang didn't seem to care about it.

He nodded, then lifted the food in his hand and spoke in a gentle tone.

"So it's because Tao'er is hungry. In that case, you don't need to go out."

"When I came back, I bought some roast chicken, honey, and dried fruit for you and your daughter."

Upon hearing this, the woman in the purple dress was greatly shocked, her mouth slightly agape, speechless for a long time.

This, what's the situation?
The sun comes out in the west?

Or perhaps she was dreaming?

The woman in the purple dress had initially thought that this beast, who happened to return just as they had run away from home, was going to be a disaster.

After all, based on her understanding of this little beast, she was certain that he had brought the child back to sell Tao'er to pay off his debts.

Unexpectedly, the little beast not only didn't bring the children back, but also didn't fly into a rage when he saw they were about to run away from home.

Even more surprisingly, this little beast seemed to have a change of heart and brought them food... (End of Chapter)
