Mushroom Man

Listen to me, listen to me...

One by one, lively little figures emerged from all directions.

The scene was bizarre and fantastical, like a dream.

Wu Liang nodded slightly. Although he was already used to this, he couldn't help but feel a little curious and doubtful...

If his previous guess was correct, the "Green Hand" mushroom should be a Dream Immortal Mushroom that feeds on dreams.

But if it's the Dream Immortal Mushroom, then what are these little people?
Why does the blue-eyed man always reveal secrets through these little figures?

If it's simply about revealing secrets, you could present it to him in the form of a dream, right?
Wu Liang was completely baffled by this, so he had no choice but to keep it to himself for the time being, to decipher it later.

He casually picked up a small figure and listened intently to its secrets...

【do you know? 】

An old man with a white beard at the Chaotic Star Gambling House possesses a stone the size of a palm.

Judging from its appearance, this stone is extremely poor quality; it's impossible for it to contain any fungi.

So the white-bearded old man stuffed the stone under the table as scrap, and it became a table cushion.

However, what the white-bearded old man didn't know was that the stone he used to prop up the table actually had a significant history and contained hidden secrets.

Over 30,000 years ago, for reasons unknown, the Celestial Venerable Wuxiang sealed two precious jades, one square and one round, inside stones, scattering them throughout the world.

Throughout the world, few know the true purpose of the precious jade.

[And within the stone that the white-bearded old man obtained, one of the two precious jades was sealed...]

After the little figure finished babbling and revealing its secret, it naturally vanished into nothingness.

"Luanxing Gambling House, the old man with the white beard, and Baoyu?"

After digesting this secret, Wu Liang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

He truly hadn't expected that something on Chaotic Star Island would be connected to the Formless Celestial Venerable.

What kind of precious jade could make the Formless Celestial Venerable personally seal it away and deliberately scatter it throughout the world?

"Could it be that the opportunity that Bai Xiaosheng is looking for is this so-called precious jade?"

Wu Liang was quick-witted and understood immediately, instantly associating the story with Bai Xiaosheng.

He had previously suspected that Bai Xiaosheng's lingering on Chaotic Star Island, unwilling to leave, was because he was plotting something.

Now that I see it, I know he was right!
That all-knowing scholar is most likely searching for that so-called precious jade.

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
Bai Xiaosheng is also one of the successors of Wuxiang. Perhaps he obtained some unknown secrets in the Wuxiang inheritance, which is why he came to find Baoyu.

But what exactly is the wonderful use of that precious jade?

The precious jade that could make Bai Xiaosheng, the successor of Wuxiang, risk his life and stay in one place for a long time to find it must be something extraordinary.

One square, one circle, the formless celestial being...

Wu Liang frowned slightly, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had heard of it somewhere before.

At his level of cultivation, he naturally wouldn't mistake this feeling for some kind of illusion.

So he calmed himself down and, without hesitation, used the Calm-Up Mushroom and the Cold-Blooded Mushroom to force himself to think about why he had this familiar feeling.

Before long, Wu Liang seemed to have thought of something, but he was still somewhat uncertain.

"Two precious jade pieces, one square and one round, could this be the one I'm thinking of?"

Wu Liang murmured to himself, and memories from the Blood River Ancestor unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

In the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, he once drank and chatted with the Refining Heaven Ancestor.

Perhaps the Celestial Refining Ancestor was drunk, because during their casual conversation, he revealed that he had a past connection with the Formless Celestial Venerable. Among other things, he mentioned two objects called the Azure Jade, one square and one round.

According to the Old Ancestor of Refining Heaven, as long as someone brings him these two precious jades, he can refine two immortal mushrooms for them free of charge.

This promise is valid for life; even after he dies and becomes a spirit of the earth, he will keep his promise.

When the Blood River Ancestor heard about this, he was filled with envy and coveted the Green Grass Jade.

Unfortunately, the Azure Jade was in the hands of the Formless Celestial Venerable, and no matter how much the Blood River Ancestor coveted it, it was to no avail.

Now, more than 30,000 years later, Wu Liang unexpectedly encountered a hidden opportunity that seemed to be the Azure Jade...

Of course, whether the jade described in the "Seeing Hand Jade" is actually the Qingmao Jade is still unknown.

However, regardless of the circumstances, now that he knew about this matter, Wu Liang would certainly not sit idly by.

Whether or not Baoyu is the Green Jade, it is enough to show that he must have something extraordinary about him.

How could he just hand over such a good thing and let that all-knowing scholar get such a benefit for nothing?
At this time, Bai Xiaosheng was unaware that the Qingmao Baoyu he longed for had already been targeted by Wu Liang.

"Looks like I need to make a trip to the Chaotic Star Casino as soon as possible."

"Although judging from Bai Xiaosheng's current movements, this guy probably hasn't discovered the jade yet, but it's better to be safe than sorry."

"After we leave this place, let's go to the Chaotic Star Gambling House as soon as possible and get that old man with the white beard's stone back."

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang restrained his breathing and stood up.

However, he did not leave the Demon Suppression Tower immediately, but instead moved to the fourth floor.

Wu Liang summoned Yan Zhaodi, Tie Nu, and others to inspect the results of their work over the past period.

That's right, it's the result.

During the three days that Wu Liang advanced to the fourth level, they were not allowed to be idle.

He assigned many tasks to everyone, more or less.

First is Yan Zhaodi...

Wu Liang had already handed over all the resources he had obtained from the Zhenlong caravan to her, ordering her to refine mushrooms for him.

As for Zhao Di, she seems to have adapted completely to the days of high-intensity mushroom cultivation.

In just three days, he refined another fourth-level mushroom for Wu Liang.

However, although it is called refining, it is actually just upgrading, so the difficulty has been greatly reduced.

As for the mushrooms that Zhao Di refined for Wu Liangsheng, they were the fourth-stage appearance mushrooms!

The appearance mushroom, the false appearance mushroom, the image mushroom, and the myriad forms of mushrooms are all core mushrooms that construct the ever-changing human face.

However, since these mushrooms were mostly at the third stage of transformation, the effect of the "unpredictable human face" was still somewhat unsatisfactory.

Now that Wu Liang has advanced to the fourth level, he will naturally upgrade his "Unpredictable Human Face" move to a fourth-level killing move as well.

The first step in this upgraded killing move is naturally to upgrade the existing mushrooms to the fourth level.

After much deliberation, Wu Liang chose to prioritize upgrading the appearance mushroom.

When the Appearance Mushroom is upgraded to the fourth level, its concealment ability becomes even more mysterious.

Now, as long as Wu Liang puts on a facade, even if a fifth-level mushroom master uses any tricks, it's unlikely they'll be able to detect anything amiss.

Moreover, the term "phenomenal mushroom" is not limited to specific things.

Some abstract things are also within the influence of the appearance mushroom.

Such as memories, emotions, thoughts, etc... (End of this chapter)
