Mushroom Man

"It's been a year..."

"I have been in Beihai for some time now."

"When will I be able to avenge my family and restore the Yan family's glory?"

Yan Wuxin looked lost and sighed.

She came to the North Sea for two reasons: first, she heard that Wu Liang, the successor of the Wuxiang lineage, was likely also in the North Sea; second, she wanted to use the North Sea as a route to the Eastern Lands.

According to her father, the Yan family's ancestral home was in the east.

The original patriarch of the Yan family had a premonition that the family might one day rise again, make a comeback, and return to their hometown in glory...

Therefore, in the ancestral land of the Yan family in the East, the ancestor of the Yan family had hidden away many resources, wealth and even inheritances that were inconvenient to move.

However, looking at it now, it's clear that the Yan family patriarch's premonition was wrong.

The Yan family not only failed to make a comeback, but to some extent, their lineage has even died out.

After all, Yan Wuxin was just a young woman, not a male descendant of the Yan family, and therefore unable to carry on the family line.

Of course, nothing is absolute...

The world of mushrooms is full of wonders; anything is possible.

Yan Wuxin had already made up his mind. Once he returned to the Eastern Land, he would find a way to locate the last remaining treasure of the Yan family and exchange it for the resources he needed.

In exchange for this, she could obtain a humane mushroom capable of reproducing on its own, thus preserving the Yan family line.

Under Huang Ting's rule, not only is the land culture thriving, but the human culture is also flourishing, so satisfying her request should not be difficult.

As for why he wandered around Chaotic Star Island without any faith, the reason was quite simple.

It's simply a matter of lacking silver and the travel expenses to the East...

As Yan Wuxin thought about this, his eyes gradually hardened.

"To accomplish great things, one must first endure hardship and toil."

"Though I have always been untrustworthy in my life, I will always keep my word in revitalizing the Yan family and avenging our grievances!"

……

"A promise made must be kept, and a word spoken must be followed..."

"This guy has a thick skin..."

After leaving the one-man show, Wu Liang glanced back, his expression inscrutable, his tone sarcastic.

He still remembered what Yan Wuxin had said when he had entrapped him and betrayed him.

What do you mean by "I am untrustworthy"? It means "I am untrustworthy in my words".

Looking back now, it's quite amusing.

"Yan Wuxin has become Yan Bixing. His appearance hasn't changed much, and his mind seems to be almost the same as before. There's been no progress whatsoever."

"There's absolutely no need to take any risks to deal with her."

"Let's find an opportunity to get rid of her while we're at it, and keep her as a body for Yan Zhaodi..."

Wu Liang withdrew his gaze, and as his thoughts raced, he began to formulate a plan against Yan Wuxin.

So, while Zhou Zilun was seeing him off, he took the opportunity to give him a few special instructions.

He ordered him to keep a close eye on Yan Wuxin's movements and report back to him as soon as he had any news.

Just to be on the safe side, Wu Liang reinforced Zhou Zilun's ideological seal.

Zhou Zilun became even more fanatical as a result, turning into a mindless 'believer' who blindly devoted himself to his faith.

Faced with the instructions of this special envoy, Zhou Zilun dared not neglect them and repeatedly assured him that he would keep a close eye on Yan Wuxin.

Seeing this, Wu Liang left satisfied.

After leaving the one-man show, he went straight to the Chaotic Star Casino without saying a word.

Wu Liang had not forgotten what his most important purpose was in coming to the island.

Yan Wuxin was just an unexpected surprise; what truly concerned him was the piece of green jade hidden inside the Chaotic Star Gambling House.

About an incense stick later...

Wu Liang soon arrived at the Chaotic Star Gambling House. However, this time, he did not use the face of 'Zhuo Buqun', but the face of an old man.

The reason he changed his appearance was because he didn't want to run into 'acquaintances' or even 'creditors' at the Chaotic Star Casino.

As a notorious gambler, Zhuo Buqun must know quite a few people from Luanxing Gambling House.

Even within the chaotic gambling den, there might be someone who is his creditor.

Under these circumstances, Wu Liang, with Zhuo Buqun's face, swaggering into the Chaotic Star Gambling House would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

"Newly arrived top-quality stone, don't miss it!"

"Fellow Daoists, Chaotic Star Gambling House has gone out of business! That bastard manager ran off with his sister-in-law! In order to get our wages back, we've decided to have a clearance sale on all the gambling stones! First come, first served!"

One by one, the vendors selling stones set up stalls, shouting and earnestly promoting their rough stones.

All sorts of bizarre hawking cries filled the air for a while.

Wu Liangru, like any ordinary old man, mingled with the crowd with his hands behind his back, going back and forth between various jade gambling stalls.

He squinted, carefully examining each stall owner in the Chaotic Star Gambling House, trying to find the white-bearded old man that Jian Shouqing had mentioned.

But after searching for a long time, he still found nothing.

Of course, this doesn't mean he didn't find the white-bearded old man.

On the contrary, Wu Liang not only found the white-bearded old man, but he found more than one.

And that's where the problem lies...

The only secret revealed by the jade pendant is that the person who possesses the precious jade is an old man with a white beard.

The Chaotic Star Casino is a mixed bag, with no fewer than a hundred old men with white beards alone!
In this situation, how could Wu Liang possibly distinguish which one was the old man that Jian Shouqing was pointing to?
"Looks like we'll have to resort to the crude method..."

Wu Liang sighed and then began to check each one one by one.

He would visit every stall set up by the white-bearded old man, looking for any table stones that might be used as stepping stones.

His search took him the entire morning.

This explains why, within the Chaotic Star Gambling House, there are countless people like him who only look and don't buy.

Otherwise, it would have attracted attention long ago.

"How strange, how could it not be there?"

Wu Liang looked surprised and wondered to himself.

He has now almost explored the entire Chaotic Star Gambling House, but he still hasn't found the stone that contains the precious jade.

Logically speaking, the information revealed by Jian Shouqing shouldn't be wrong.

But why has he searched for so long without any results?

"No wonder that guy Bai Xiaosheng has lingered here for so long but still hasn't found that opportunity."

"Even I, someone who knows exactly where Baoyu is hiding, have such a hard time finding him, let alone that guy."

"Where exactly did the problem lie..."

Wu Liang stroked his chin, completely baffled by this.

He silently surveyed the noisy and chaotic Star Gambling House, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

And it was at that moment that he suddenly noticed something!
The Chaotic Star Casino appears to be extremely large from the outside, but once inside, it seems rather crowded.

This feeling is as if someone has hidden a part of this space.

An outsider might not even realize it.

But Wu Liang can now be considered a Yu Dao Mushroom Master.

He was extremely sensitive to changes in the space, but he hadn't noticed them earlier because his attention was entirely focused on the stall.

But now, after careful observation, he has finally discovered some clues.

At that moment, Wu Liang's eyes lit up instantly, and a guess arose spontaneously.

"This Chaotic Star Gambling House is a hidden gem; it's very likely that another secret gambling house is hidden there!" (End of Chapter)
