Mushroom Man

Chaotic Star Island.

Wu Liang quietly arrived on the island, and before anyone knew it, his appearance had been changed to that of 'Zhuo Buqun'.

His mind stirred, and his blood-stained clothes suddenly trembled.

He, who was originally soaking wet, instantly looked brand new, and you couldn't tell at all that he had just been in the sea.

"It will still take some time for the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom to absorb the mid-grade spiritual spring water."

"Next, we just need to leave it to Master Bone to watch over."

"However, I need to think of a way to cover for Master Bone during this period..."

As Wu Liang walked towards the one-man show, he pondered to himself.

The mid-grade spiritual spring is of utmost importance!

The abundance of resources and the richness of the spiritual spring on Chaotic Star Island must be partly due to the presence of mid-grade spiritual spring water.

It is conceivable that once the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom absorbs the mid-grade spiritual spring, Chaotic Star Island will be greatly affected.

It is estimated that by then, it will cause quite a stir, thus attracting the attention of the Star Palace.

To prevent any accidents from happening, he had to find a way to cover up the disappearance of the mid-grade spiritual spring.

Wu Liang frowned and pondered deeply, but for a moment he couldn't come up with a solution.

He had no choice but to keep it to himself for the time being and think about it more carefully later.

If there really isn't a good solution, he'll probably have no choice but to leave Chaotic Star Island with Ao Miaoyin as soon as the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom drains the spiritual spring.

Wu Liang collected his thoughts and quickly arrived at the one-man hall.

Zhou Zilun stood at the door, looking out onto the street, seemingly waiting specifically for Wu Liang.

When he saw Wu Liang, his eyes lit up and he quickly waved.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but did not rush over.

He immediately sensed the imprint of thought in Zhou Zilun's mind.

Once he confirmed that the thought imprint had not changed, he calmly walked over.

"Your Excellency, Master Yan has been waiting for you upstairs for quite some time..."

Zhou Zilun lowered his voice and spoke.

If someone didn't know him, they might really mistake him for a spy from the Holy Cult.

Wu Liang nodded calmly and immediately followed Zhou Zilun to the second floor of the One-Man Hall.

He glanced over and saw the so-called Master Yan.

Master Yan had wrapped himself up tightly, concealing himself entirely within a black robe.

If one had not already learned from Zhou Zilun that this person was a woman, it is unlikely that one could have determined the gender from appearance alone.

Yan Bixing was sitting in the main seat drinking tea. When he saw Wu Liang, he didn't show any reaction and didn't even raise his eyes.

Clearly, this guy doesn't take 'Zhuo Buqun', the Star Palace Enforcer Mushroom Master, seriously.

Wu Liang narrowed his eyes, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

He walked over and sat down opposite him, then said indifferently, "Are you the manager of this one-man show?"

"That guy surnamed Zhou should have already told you my purpose."

"Tell me, how much silver can you lend me..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bixing put down his teacup and slowly extended five fingers.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver?" Wu Liang feigned surprise.

“No, it’s five thousand silver coins.” Yan Bixing’s voice was cold and his tone indifferent.

Hmm? This sound...

Wu Liang frowned almost imperceptibly, feeling that the woman's voice sounded strangely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

That's why he didn't even focus on the mention of five thousand silver coins. His sudden silence seemed to cause Yan Bixing to misunderstand something.

She gave a light hum and explained calmly, "I have already heard about Fellow Daoist Zhuo's reputation."

"You now owe a total of 36,800 drops of silver to all the silver shops and gambling dens on the island."

"With Fellow Daoist Zhuo's abilities, repaying this silver water is already extremely difficult."

"Therefore, in order to prevent Fellow Daoist Zhuo from being unable to repay the silver water, I can only lend you a maximum of five thousand silver water."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a loud "bang"!
Wu Liang slammed his fist on the table and stood up, looking furious. He said, "Five thousand taels of silver? Are you trying to fetch a beggar?"

"Five thousand silver coins isn't even enough for me to gamble a few rounds. Why would I need to come all the way here to borrow that little bit of silver from you?"

He always keeps his word, and seeing this, his brow furrowed slightly.

She thought for a moment, and was about to say something, but Wu Liang interrupted her.

"Manager Yan, I came here to support your Yiyan Hall, which is why I'm borrowing silver from you."

"A mere 30,000 silver coins? You don't think I came here because I was desperate, do you?"

Wu Liang crossed his arms and spoke arrogantly.

He raised his head and continued, "Think it over carefully. I am a Star Palace Enforcer Mushroom Master."

"The Star Elder of the Star Palace is my backer."

"With this connection, how much silver do I owe that I can't pay back?"

"I just couldn't resist the urge to gamble big at the Chaotic Star Casino, so I came to borrow some silver from you."

"Hurry up and be quick, lend me a few tens of thousands of silver coins, I guarantee I can pay it back."

"If you're still worried, I can choose to swear a solemn oath."

Wu Liang looked completely unconcerned, not only bringing up the elders of Shangxing, but even suggesting that they could swear a solemn oath.

It's important to understand that a poisonous oath is completely different from a vow.

The binding force of oaths is low, and there are no punitive measures. At best, it can make the other party aware of the breach of contract immediately.

Unlike poisonous oaths, which have strong binding force.

If anyone breaches the oath, they will suffer the consequences according to its contents.

as predicted……

Upon hearing this, his attitude of always keeping his word indeed changed.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally relented.

"Fifty thousand silver coins, agreed upon with my killer move, a promise, and bound by a poisonous oath mushroom."

"In addition, you also need to get the Star Elder to be your guarantor."

What is a guarantor?
The so-called guarantor is actually someone who, if Wu Liang fails to repay the silver, allows Yiyantang to seek repayment from Elder Shangxing.

However, Wu Liang rejected the request without even thinking about it.

Whether the Upper Star Elder will agree to this matter is another matter. First of all, he is currently just an imposter and it is impossible for him to take the initiative to go to that Upper Star Elder.

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, no guarantor needed," Wu Liang bargained, his tone resolute.

It seemed as if he would immediately turn and leave if they disagreed.

Fortunately, Yan Bixing offered a guarantor, but only to lower the price. He didn't really intend to alarm the elder of the Upper Star for a little money.

"Deal made, swear an oath..."

As always, he kept his word until this moment, when he finally raised his head slightly, revealing his delicate and beautiful face.

Wu Liang glanced at it subconsciously, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

How could this possibly be her?!

Wasn't this guy already dead? (End of Chapter)
