Mushroom Man

Twenty days later...

"let's start."

Wu Liang spoke calmly, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

Upon hearing this, the expressionless Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly and consciously relaxed.

Wu Liang did not hesitate at all, taking advantage of the ever-changing nature of human nature!
The next moment, Bai Xiaosheng, who had been cold and indifferent, gradually changed his expression, turning from cold to gentle.

It won’t take long…

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have become a different person, transforming into a handsome scholar with a smiling face that gave people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Clearly, under the influence of the unpredictable nature of human nature, Bai Xiaosheng had by this time become a truly benevolent person.

The reason it went so smoothly without any obstacles was entirely due to the events of those twenty days...

Wu Liang would occasionally use the unpredictable nature of human nature to distort Bai Xiaosheng's mind.

Now, Bai Xiaosheng has already been molded into the shape he desires, so changing him is naturally easy and effortless.

"Prepare to refine the mushrooms..." Wu Liang ordered in a cold voice, then took out the mushroom materials that the Golden Dragon King had prepared for him earlier.

However, at this critical juncture, the 'kind-hearted' Bai Xiaosheng indeed began to have a relapse.

He hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but advise, "Main body, I don't think we need to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom anymore."

"Even if we manage to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom and repair the Demon Suppression Tower, what then?"

"They are nothing more than brave and violent, relying on the Demon Suppression Tower to commit even more unforgivable crimes."

"We've already made too many mistakes; we can't afford to make the same ones again."

"Let's turn back, our main body. If we continue like this, it won't end well..."

Bai Xiaosheng's words were spoken with great earnestness and concern.

Wu Liang, however, remained unmoved by this and was even more grateful that he hadn't used himself to test the fickle nature of human nature.

Otherwise, if he were to become like this, he might as well just kill himself.

What do you mean by "stop cultivating righteous qi mushrooms"?

If he doesn't refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom, how will he repair the Demon Suppression Tower?

Without the Demon-Suppressing Tower, how could he possess sufficient self-protection capabilities in this cannibalistic world, allowing him to ascend to immortality?

As for whether he will use the repaired Demon-Suppressing Tower for some evil purpose, that's a matter for the future...

And what good would it do even if you did it?
He never needed to explain his actions to anyone.

If Wu Liang were to actively commit evil deeds, such as murder, arson, or plunder, it would certainly be profitable.

If there's profit to be made, why care about whether it's good or bad?

What matters most to him is what he can gain; as for the deaths of others, what does that have to do with him?
"trouble……"

Wu Liang glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, then his mind stirred.

The next moment, one of the thoughts that had been planted in Bai Xiaosheng's mind beforehand using the Thought-Turning Mushroom shattered.

Bai Xiaosheng originally wanted to offer some more advice, but he shut his mouth under the influence of this thought.

He stopped talking and began to diligently prepare the mushrooms according to Wu Liang's instructions.

The process of refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom is actually not that difficult.

The real challenge in cultivating Zhengqi mushrooms lies in the fact that the mushroom growers who require them must have a kind heart.

Wu Liang has now fulfilled this condition through various means.

Next, refining the Righteous Qi Mushroom will be a piece of cake.

It's just a single fourth-level mushroom, but now that two Dao Refining Masters have taken action, how could it possibly fail?

That's right!

In order to refine the Righteous Qi Mushroom, not only Wu Liang took action, but Yan Zhaodi also joined in.

Wu Liang and Yan Zhaodi are both masters of alchemy, but they have different inclinations. In terms of actual alchemy skills, Yan Zhaodi is superior to Wu Liang.

Now that the two of them have joined forces to refine a mushroom, it's truly like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Master, now is the time!"

Yan Zhaodi stared intently and successfully used the earth-refining method to generate a halo of light, within which some kind of fungus seemed to be slowly taking shape.

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang did not hesitate and immediately used his thoughts to take over Bai Xiaosheng.

The 'All-Knowing Scholar' immediately channeled his true energy into the halo of light and then added various kinds of mushrooms.

In an instant, the halo, which was originally only the size of an egg, grew rapidly and continued to expand.

About an incense stick later...

Just as Bai Xiaosheng's true energy was about to run out, the aura finally stabilized.

There were no surprises, no twists and turns; everything seemed to happen naturally.

Wu Liang nodded slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation as he gazed at the halo of light.

Within the halo of light, a perfectly square mushroom slowly took shape.

Once formed, it exudes a righteous aura that spreads outwards.

Wu Liang frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

He could clearly sense that the righteous mushroom seemed to be rejecting him.

In contrast, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have no particular reaction to this, which was obviously due to the unpredictable nature of human nature that made him immune to the suppression brought by this righteousness.

Surprisingly, Yan Zhaodi was also affected to some extent, but her situation was much better than Wu Liang's.

But upon closer reflection, this is quite normal...

Yan Zhaodi was indeed a simple and kind child at first, with no sense of good or evil.

Yan Zhaodi, in this situation, would undoubtedly not be targeted by the Righteous Mushroom.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black."

As Yan Zhaodi continued to spend time with Wu Liang, the little girl's thoughts had unknowingly begun to gravitate towards him.

Now, Yan Zhaodi can no longer be considered a good child; she can only be considered a bad child who has been led astray by Wu Liang.

At the very least, it would have been very difficult for Yan Zhaodi, who initially made the mushrooms, to do so.

But right now, she's willing to use living people to refine mushrooms for her master, Wu Liang...

This demonstrates just how significant Wu Liang's influence was on Yan Zhaodi.

"Humph!"

"What right or wrong? I only believe in power."

Seeing that the Righteous Mushroom was actually rejecting him, Wu Liang couldn't help but sneer.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Righteous Mushroom flew over involuntarily.

However, once the Righteous Mushroom fell into his hands, it immediately unleashed an even stronger repulsion!
A powerful aura of righteousness surged toward Wu Liang, seemingly intent on suppressing him.

Wu Liang merely raised his eyes slightly and saw a wisp of Shouqing's aura spread out.

Under the suppression of the Green-Headed Broom, the Righteous Mushroom instantly turned on its own like flipping a book, trembling like a quail, and was obediently refined by Wu Liang in an instant!
Even the most righteous person will be helpless in the face of oppression by power...

So now, the fourth-tier Righteous Qi Mushroom is yours!
Wu Liang immediately removed the "unpredictable human nature" from Bai Xiaosheng to prevent the guy from causing any more trouble.

The once gentle-looking Bai Xiaosheng then reverted to his expressionless Sima-like face.

After doing all this, Wu Liang had a sudden thought and immediately threw out the Righteous Qi Mushroom he had just obtained.

The righteous mushroom spun around and gradually merged with the Demon-Suppressing Tower...

"The Demon-Suppressing Tower...emerge!" (End of Chapter)
