Mushroom Man

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Wu Liang stood in the crowd not far away, watching the group of Star Palace Mushroom Masters who had failed to find them, and couldn't help but sneer.

He had thought these so-called Star Palace Mushroom Masters would have some skills, but they turned out to be nothing but good-for-nothings.

He merely used the appearance mushroom to conceal his true intentions, which left these guys helpless.

It seems he overestimated the strength of the Star Palace.

From this perspective, as long as the Star Palace Elder doesn't come out, no one on the entire Chaotic Star Island should be able to threaten him.

"Very good, the effect of the fourth-stage Spectrum Mushroom is even better than I expected."

"If that's the case, then I can finally let loose and have some fun."

Wu Liang's lips curled up slightly, no longer paying attention to those Star Palace Mushroom Masters.

He immediately turned and disappeared into the crowd, leaving quietly.

As for the fox-eared boy, he was too cumbersome to always carry around.

So Wu Liang found a secluded spot and stuffed it into the Demon Suppression Tower, intending to deal with it properly later.

"This harvest has been quite substantial..."

"Not only did they obtain the precious jade, but they also passed the troublesome Yan Wuxin to Bai Xiaosheng."

Wu Liang's eyes flickered slightly as he pondered to himself.

In fact, his initial idea was to directly kill Bai Xiaosheng and seize his Wuxiang Token.

Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes, and these successors of the Formless lineage are simply too difficult to kill.

If we don't wear down their luck, crush their arrogance, and deplete their backup plans, it will be very difficult to kill them.

Therefore, he had no choice but to change his mind and settle for using Bai Xiaosheng to his advantage.

If Bai Xiaosheng and Yan Wuxin were to fight, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely win in the end.

Although both are Daoist mushroom masters, Bai Xiaosheng is, after all, the successor of Wuxiang, belonging to the category of geniuses.

Even if someone is exceptionally gifted, they can never match the wisdom and resourcefulness of a man who lacks integrity.

Therefore, it won't be long before Wu Liang is able to resolve the problem of Yan Wuxin without much effort.

As for whether Bai Xiaosheng would have any ulterior motives after capturing Yan Wuxin, he was not worried about that.

After all, he had the precious jade that Bai Xiaosheng needed.

Without obtaining the jade, Bai Xiaosheng would never have considered playing any underhanded tricks.

Of course, even if Bai Xiaosheng disobeys, Wu Liang has ways to deal with him.

Even during their back-and-forth battle, Wu Liang had already prepared a backup plan, secretly collecting Bai Xiaosheng's blood.

Now, if he wanted to, he could use the Nine Clans Separation technique to take Bai Xiaosheng's life at any time.

Of course, this is on the premise that Bai Xiaosheng has no more means to bring the dead back to life.

If that guy has any other tricks up his sleeve, Wu Liang won't be able to do anything about it.

unless……

Wu Liang was able to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom and repair the Demon Suppression Tower.

With the Demon Suppression Tower by his side, he wouldn't need to worry about resurrection; he could simply suppress it.

"Hmm...it seems that the repair of the Demon Suppression Tower should be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

"It would be best to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom within the next few days."

"The help a mushroom shed provides to a mushroom grower is truly immense."

"If I had been able to activate the Demon Suppression Tower just now, why would I have needed to worry about Bai Xiaosheng's Jade Plate?"

Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but shake his head.

In terms of raw strength, even two all-knowing scholars might not be able to defeat him.

This is not to say that Bai Xiaosheng is incompetent; on the contrary, his strength is actually outstanding among the successors of the Wuxiang lineage. Having cultivated both Daoist principles and swordsmanship, he should be at a similar level to Xiao Chusheng.

The reason he looked so weak was entirely because he had encountered Wu Liang.

It's not that he's too weak, but that Wu Liang is too strong right now.

At this moment, even if it were Xiao Chusheng at his peak facing Wu Liang, his fate would probably not be much better.

Even so, Wu Liang was still helpless against Bai Xiaosheng, who possessed the Falling Jade Plate, and could not forcibly kill him.

This demonstrates just how significant the improvement a mushroom shed can bring to a mushroom grower.

It can be said that mushroom masters with Fan Guwu and those without Fan Guwu are completely different.

Fortunately, Wu Liang also had a mortal mushroom house, and it was even a top-tier mortal mushroom house like the Demon Suppression Tower.

If he can repair the Demon Suppression Tower, he will be able to rival the Golden Dragon King, who possesses the Dragon Bell, once he reaches the fifth level.

At that time, we will be invincible, and that's not just talk.

"To refine the Righteousness Mushroom, I need to use the fickle nature of human nature to change my mind."

"Even though I can now fully grasp the unpredictable nature of human nature, I still don't have much confidence in it."

"If something goes wrong and I suddenly become a different person because of my kindness, that would be a real problem."

"Therefore, before that, I had to come up with a backup plan to eliminate this potential threat."

Wu Liang had many thoughts on this, but for the time being, he couldn't come up with a better solution.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the Zhenlong caravan once again.

Wu Liang had no choice but to temporarily suppress his thoughts and transform into Zhuo Buqun's appearance to meet with that senior executive.

About an incense stick later...

The senior executive greeted them with a broad smile and great enthusiasm.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, you've finally arrived!"

"What about the matter I asked you to do for me last time?"

The senior executives had been eagerly waiting and got straight to the point upon meeting, discussing the cooperation.

Wu Liang came here for this very purpose, so naturally he wouldn't waste time chatting about trivial matters.

"As you have entrusted me, I have discussed this matter in detail with Elder Shangxing."

"The elder of Shangxing is quite interested in this and wants me to schedule a time with the senior management so that he can discuss the specific details of the cooperation with your caravan in person."

Wu Liang cupped his hands in greeting and spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the senior executive was overjoyed and laughed heartily.

"Good, good, good, as expected of Fellow Daoist Zhuo. If this transaction can be settled, Fellow Daoist Zhuo will deserve the greatest credit."

"If that's the case, let's set the date for the Golden Pavilion at noon tomorrow."

“Our young master will be there at that time.”

Wu Liang readily agreed.

Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Speaking of your young master, I remember that the senior executive said last time that he was short of a guest retainer as a bodyguard?"

“I happened to be talking about this with my friend yesterday, and my friend wants to give it a try.”

"I wonder if the senior management needs to make arrangements now?"

Upon hearing this, the executives' faces lit up with even greater joy.

He hadn't expected that this gambling addict would be so reliable.

Not only did they successfully persuade the elders of Shangxing, but they even recruited a guest advisor for their Zhenlong Merchant Caravan, which was truly a double blessing!
"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Zhuo is truly my lucky star!"

"Perfect! Then let's invite Fellow Daoist Zhuo's friend to the Golden Pavilion for a chat tomorrow!" (End of Chapter)
