Mushroom Man

Three days later...

The ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Wu Liang sat cross-legged beside the blood pool, his aura steadily rising as he progressed.

As a genius with top-tier aptitude, the bottleneck at the fourth level was nothing to him.

After this period of refinement, the bottleneck has been largely eliminated.

Next, all he needs to do is break through the bottleneck in one go, and his cultivation will naturally advance to the fourth level.

"It's now!"

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and his mind stirred.

In an instant, the golden river of true energy roared and surged toward the invisible barrier that trapped the dantian.

For a moment, the cracking and shattering sounds were incessant.

The flow of true qi is consumed in an extremely large way during this process.

In no time, less than 30% remained.

Wu Liang frowned slightly and immediately took out the silver water to refine it, helping his true energy break through the bottleneck.

One hundred drops, two hundred drops...

He consumed over a thousand drops of silver water, and his newly replenished true energy river was now free of any worries.

Just listen to a "bang"!
The river of true energy, like a five-clawed golden dragon, suddenly broke through the bottleneck.

In an instant, Wu Liang's aura suddenly trembled, and a unique pressure belonging to a fourth-level mushroom master slowly spread out.

The golden, dazzling river of true energy also underwent a tremendous transformation at this moment.

In this process, the River of True Qi gradually became purer and slowly developed a viscous texture.

At the same time, the originally golden and dazzling color was tinged with a touch of crimson.

As everyone knows, the true energy of a fourth-level mushroom master is called Crimson Gold True Energy.

A single strand of crimson gold true energy is comparable to dozens or even hundreds of strands of golden true energy.

The difference between the two is incomparable; they are worlds apart.

This is one of the reasons why Wu Liang said that once he reaches the fourth level, his strength will increase dramatically.

The Crimson Gold True Qi can help him, and he no longer needs to worry about not being able to activate the fourth-stage killing move, which is called "The Unpredictable Manifestation of the Heart," due to insufficient True Qi.

Now that Wu Liang can unleash his full power and unleash all sorts of deadly moves, his improvement in strength is no small matter.

If you were to compare him at the fourth level with him at the peak of the third level, you could have a fight between them.

At the fourth level, he could probably beat his former self so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

It should be noted that at the peak of the third rank, he was already able to compete with some fourth rank mushroom masters.

Now that he has advanced to the fourth stage, even if it is only the initial stage of the fourth stage, there are probably very few people among his peers who can rival him.

What is the essence of Mushroom Fairy?

This is the essence of Mushroom Fairy!
Wu Liang possesses the Blood River Ancestor's thousand-year memories. If even the Mushroom Master cannot suppress him, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

However, we can't say for sure...

After all, Wu Liang wasn't the only prodigy among the Mushroom Masters.

The world of mushrooms is so vast, there are always some people who possess the same level of expertise as mushroom immortals, or who are simply exceptionally talented geniuses.

Those with innate Dao bodies like Morobi, as long as their talent isn't too bad, can suppress the same-transformation mushroom masters.

Such people are often referred to as the chosen ones.

Of course, Wu Liang's current strength should be considered top-tier among all the fourth-tier geniuses in the Mushroom World.

Wu Liang's thoughts raced, but he quickly put aside these distractions and gathered his thoughts.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he focused his attention back on his dantian.

At this moment, as he broke through to the fourth level, the fertile land, which was originally thirty acres in size, also experienced a surge in value.

Thirty-four mu, thirty-six mu... The soil, which had turned a dark reddish-brown color, finally stopped expanding when it reached a size of forty mu.

During the Mushroom Master era, most mortals didn't really care about the size of their dantian.

After all, compared to the actual quality of true qi, the size of the dantian is really not something that can be said to have any substantial benefits.

At most, the larger the dantian, the more mushrooms it can hold.

However, most ordinary mushroom masters only have a dozen or so mushrooms on their bodies, so they don't need such a large dantian at all.

In this situation, many ordinary mushroom masters naturally no longer pay attention to the size of their dantian.

However, Wu Liang, who possesses the memories of the Blood River for a thousand years, clearly understands just how important the size of the dantian is.

It can be said that the size of the dantian is directly related to one's potential after ascending to immortality.

The larger the dantian, the more human energy can emerge when one ascends to immortality.

Weather, earth energy, and human energy are all crucial for a mushroom master's ascension to immortality; none can be lacking.

Weather and earth's energy both come from the outside world and are influenced by the location.

Popularity, on the other hand, originates from the mushroom maker themselves, and the amount of popularity depends on the mushroom maker's own potential and foundation.

Because Wu Liang clearly understood the importance of the size of the dantian, he would spend a lot of time nourishing the dantian after each breakthrough.

This action was solely for the purpose of accumulating more popularity when he ascends to immortality in the future.

If he hadn't focused on building a strong foundation and frequently nurtured his dantian, it's likely his dantian wouldn't have grown so impressively.

"Hard work pays off..."

"I have finally reached the fourth stage of cultivation..."

Wu Liang looked wistful and couldn't help but sigh.

Once upon a time, when he was just a junior mushroom grower at level one or two, how pathetic he was when facing a level four mushroom grower.

The nun, the martial artist, the leader of the White Horned Clan—any one of them could crush him like an ant.

But now that he has advanced to the fourth level...

His former formidable enemies are no longer enough to move him.

If he were to face Master Wen and the others again, he could probably kill them all with a flick of his finger and a few killing moves.

Unbeknownst to him, he had become someone who could dominate a region.

The entire process took only a year.

In just one year, Wu Liang has grown to his current level, which is quite fast.

Even those with innate Dao bodies might not be able to match his speed.

All of this is thanks to the relic mushrooms he refined along the way.

Of course, his ability to possess so many Shari Mushrooms is also due to his own efforts.

It's possible that someone else could have achieved what he has today.

"Om-"

Just as Wu Liang was secretly lamenting the hardships he had endured along the way, the familiar tinnitus sound arrived as expected.

Wu Liang was already used to this, and his attention immediately fell on the green amaranth.

As his cultivation reached the fourth level, the Azure Hand began to gradually recover, its surface shrouded in azure light and imbued with immortal energy.

This is the Bodhi seed, which has never received adequate feeding.

Otherwise, once fully revived, Wu Liang's dantian might collapse on the spot because it couldn't withstand the immortal mushroom.

Wu Liang's mind raced, and his expression grew more serious.

"It seems that I cannot slack off in my cultivation; I must work even faster in the future."

"I must ascend to immortality before the 'Seeing Hand Blue' fully recovers..." (End of Chapter)
