Mushroom Man

As Wu Liang pondered the matter, he thought of Yan Zhaodi.

As the ancestor of the Yan family, Yan Zhaodi possessed a large amount of Daoist knowledge.

That little guy might just have a way to crack the black-and-white mushroom.

Of course, even if Yan Zhaodi didn't have the means to crack the black-and-white mushroom, he could still obtain it through Yan Wuxin.

Yan Wuxin is a specialist in Taoism and has already become a fourth-level Taoism master. His achievements in Taoism have surpassed those of Yan Zhaodi.

Once Bai Xiaosheng captures Yan Wuxin, he can throw him into the River of Forgotten Lands for a fresh rinse and obtain his lifelong accumulation of Daoist knowledge.

With his newfound knowledge of Taoism, he would naturally be confident that he could decipher the written message.

"Young master, do you have any fourth-grade relic mushrooms?"

Wu Liang collected his thoughts and asked a question, his tone filled with anticipation.

Since Young Master Zhenlong had agreed to let him have any fourth-rank mushroom he wanted, he would naturally make good use of it.

The most desired four-turn mushroom right now is undoubtedly the four-turn Shari mushroom.

If he could obtain the fourth-grade relic mushroom from Young Master Zhenlong, and add it to the fourth-grade relic mushroom in Bai Xiaosheng's possession...

Then he could directly reach the peak of the fourth stage in a very short time and plot to reach the fifth stage!
When that time comes, Wu Liang will repair the Demon Suppression Tower and be able to roam freely across the four continents. Without immortals appearing, he will be invincible!
"Uh... a fourth-tier relic mushroom?"

Young Master Zhenlong seemed not to have expected that Wu Liang's appetite was so large.

When they open their mouths, it's absolutely terrifying.

If he had a fourth-stage relic mushroom, he would have kept it for himself long ago; why would he think of giving it to an outsider?

"Brother Wu is too kind..."

"Although my Zhenlong Merchant Caravan is a large and wealthy family, I have never even seen a treasure like a fourth-grade relic mushroom before."

"But Brother Wu, rest assured, I can use my connections to do my best to search for it for you."

Young Master Zhenlong gave an awkward smile and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang shook his head.

It was within his expectations that the Zhenlong caravan couldn't produce a fourth-grade Relic Mushroom.

There's absolutely no need to use the entire Zhenlong caravan and the Zhenlong young master's connections to search for fourth-grade relic mushrooms.

After all, even if they really found a level 4 Relic Mushroom, they wouldn't give such a good thing to an outsider.

"Fine, if there's no such thing, then forget it..."

Wu Liang sighed and waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing his appearance, Young Master Zhenlong's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, and he asked, "Brother Wu, are you troubled by the need to improve your cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang noticed that Young Master Zhenlong seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words, and his heart stirred.

He sighed, feigning distress, and said, "Young master is indeed exceptionally intelligent, to be honest..."

"Although I have remarkable skills, my aptitude is poor, and it is extremely difficult for me to improve my cultivation. It is like one hurdle after another."

"That's why I've been eyeing the fourth-stage relic mushroom..."

Upon hearing this, a look of "as expected" flashed across Young Master Zhenlong's face.

He chuckled lightly, gently shook his folding fan, and said, "So Brother Wu is troubled by this. I had no idea what it was!"

"Brother Wu, don't be discouraged. In the mushroom world, there are many other mushrooms that can immediately improve one's cultivation level, besides the Relic Mushroom."

"Oh?" Wu Liang feigned surprise and immediately looked at Young Master Zhenlong with burning eyes.

Young Master Zhenlong nodded slightly and said slowly, "Brother Wu, you may not know this, but I recently obtained a mushroom recipe by chance. This recipe records a four-stage mushroom called the 'Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom'."

"It is said that this mushroom recipe was created by a certain demon. It was originally just a three-stage human-beast burial mushroom. Later, after continuous improvement by later generations, it became the four-stage human-beast reunion mushroom."

"The Fourth-Rank Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom can transform a mushroom master's Crimson Gold True Qi into Black-Red True Qi, raising a Fourth-Rank mushroom master to a minor realm."

"However, this mushroom has a flaw: once it is used, the mushroom master's qualifications will decline."

"Brother Wu's aptitude is already low, so even if it declines, it shouldn't matter much."

Young Master Zhenlong spoke eloquently, but paused at this point.

He looked around, deliberately lowered his voice, and said, "To refine this mushroom, we need dozens of kinds of mushroom materials."

"The two most important mushroom materials are humans and animals."

"This person needs to use a mother and daughter as materials, the higher the quality of the mother and daughter, the better, and the daughter must be a virgin."

"These beasts refer to animal-taming fungi, such as bear-taming mushrooms, wolf-taming mushrooms, fish-taming mushrooms, and so on..."

"At that time, let the wild beasts devour the mother and daughter, and then we can refine the Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom."

"I have been eyeing this mushroom for a long time. I ordered people to collect suitable mother and daughter mushroom materials long ago, but unfortunately there has been no progress."

"Not long ago, the Chaotic Star Gambling House informed me that there was a mother and daughter in the family of a man surnamed Zhuo who met the requirements."

"If Brother Wu wants this mushroom to improve his cultivation, I can reluctantly part with it and give you this Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang narrowed his eyes.

Human-Animal Reunion Mushroom?
This is a good thing...

Of course, he would never use this kind of mushroom to improve his cultivation level.

After all, he is now a top-tier talent. Using this method to improve his cultivation is putting the cart before the horse and wasting his potential.

If his aptitude is really lowered, affecting his ascension to immortality, that would be a real problem!

If he really wanted to use such evil and heretical methods to quickly improve his cultivation, why would he have waited until now?

It should be noted that in the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, there were quite a few fungi like this that could rapidly increase cultivation level.

Products like Blood Offering Mushroom and Blood Sacrifice Mushroom can do this.

However, just because Wu Liang can't use the Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom doesn't mean his subordinates can't.

Iron Slave, Su Jiu'er, Madam Hong, and even Yan Zhaodi, who later possessed Yan Wuxin's body, could all use this Human-Beast Reunion Mushroom.

Their aptitudes aren't particularly good, so forcibly raising them by a small level would undoubtedly be a profitable deal.

However, the mother and daughter mushroom materials needed to refine this mushroom are...

Wu Liang's eyes were deep and mysterious, a strange meaning flashing in them.

At this moment, he knew perfectly well that the mother and daughter that Young Master Zhenlong was referring to were none other than Song Jinlian and Tao'er.

Clearly, the senior executives did not reveal to Young Master Zhenlong that he was introduced by Zhuo Buqun.

Otherwise, Young Master Zhenlong would never have told him this news.

Only then did Wu Liang understand...

Why is Zhuo Buqun so determined to sell Song Jinlian and Tao'er to Luanxing Gambling House?

It turns out that a powerful figure like Young Master Zhenlong has taken a liking to this mother and daughter, wanting to use them for mushroom refining! (End of Chapter)
