Mushroom Man

Chapter 88 My name is Mo Ren, Zhuge Huowang (Subscribe)
"The residual soul of Doctor Mo?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang glanced at the remnant soul with some surprise.

He didn't expect that Chief Wu would bring him such a surprise.

Doctor Mo has many secrets. If we can use this remnant soul, we can get a glimpse of the secrets of the Holy Church.

For him, it was a great help.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang immediately looked at the head of the Wu clan.

"Chief Wu, I don't have any Soul Dao Mushrooms on me. Do you have any Soul Searching Mushrooms I could borrow?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Wu chuckled and said, "What are you talking about, Special Envoy?"

"It is a great honor for me to be able to help the Special Envoy."

"These Soul Dao Mushrooms of this old man were all given to me by the Holy Church. They originally belonged to the Special Envoy. Why would I need to borrow them?"

After Chief Wu finished speaking, he took out a mushroom.

This mushroom has three turns and looks scary, like an ink-shaped toadstool.

"I happen to have a Soul-Searching Mushroom here, but it's only at the third level."

"Although it is possible to search for the memories contained within the soul, there are many limitations. The memories obtained are usually incomplete and very messy."

"Moreover, if used excessively, it will cause the soul and spirit to become mixed up, and the mind will become confused, which is extremely harmful to oneself."

"The special envoy has not practiced the soul path. If you use this mushroom rashly, your soul will inevitably feel uncomfortable."

"Why don't I do the job and search your soul for you..."

Before Chief Wu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wu Liang with a wave of his hand.

"It doesn't matter."

"It's just a remnant soul. It won't have any impact on me."

Wu Liang certainly knew that he had no foundation in the way of souls, and that rashly searching souls might be risky.

But even so, he couldn't let Chief Wu search his soul.

What if something appeared in Doctor Mo's memory that contradicted what he had said before? Wouldn't that expose him directly?

By then, if Chief Wu finds out that he, the Holy Religion's special envoy, is fake, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Liang might become a remnant soul under the soul-binding chains.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang took the Soul-Searching Mushroom without hesitation and refined it in an instant in front of Chief Wu.

Upon seeing this, Chief Wu became even more respectful and quickly handed over Doctor Mo's remaining soul.

"Third turn..."

Wu Liang took a barely perceptible breath and activated the Soul-Searching Mushroom.

In an instant, the long river of true energy in his dantian began to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

Wu Liang was nervous, fearing that he would not be able to activate the Soul-Searching Mushroom due to insufficient true energy, and thus reveal his true identity in front of Clan Leader Wu.

Fortunately, after the long river of true energy dropped by 80%, it finally stopped.

Seeing this, Wu Liang remained calm on the surface, but felt relieved in his heart.

Fortunately, he has a first-class Dantian, and his cultivation has reached the high level of the second turn.

Otherwise, without taking the silver water, he really wouldn't be able to activate the third-level mushroom.

But even so, the third-level soul-searching mushroom still consumed 80% of his true energy. It was truly terrifying.

No wonder those mushroom masters, even if they have enough silver on hand to buy high-transformation mushrooms, rarely buy them in advance.

If this happened in a life-and-death fight, and he used up all his energy in order to activate the high-transformation mushrooms, he would probably be on the verge of death.

Wu Liang gathered his thoughts and grabbed Doctor Mo's remaining soul.

"Om-"

At this moment, scattered fragments of memories began to flood into his mind!
……

My name is Mo Ren.

My neighbors in the village usually affectionately call me Doctor Mo.

I am a famous doctor in the surrounding area. Whenever there are any difficult or complicated diseases in the village, they will choose to come to me for diagnosis and treatment.

Thanks to this skill, I have lived for most of my life without having to worry about food and clothing.

But no one knows that I have another dream in my heart.

A dream of becoming a mushroom master, or even a mushroom fairy!

It’s a pity that opening up the Dantian is far beyond the reach of mortals like us.

Even if I save up all the change in my life, it would not be enough to buy the opportunity to open up my Dantian.

I thought I would spend my whole life in this village, living an ordinary life.

Unexpectedly, one day, an injured mushroom master appeared on the grassland where the village was located.

I knew the opportunity had come, so I approached him and used the ancestral ointment to heal his wounds.

Later, the mushroom master learned about my ambition.

He did not despise my age. Instead, he accepted me as his disciple and opened up my Dantian.

My qualifications are not high, only Grade C, but with the help of my master, my practice is going smoothly.

My master took me out of the village, into the vast grassland, and into the Western Regions.

And it was then that I realized that my master was no simple person.

It turns out that he is a member of the Holy Church who is not tolerated by the entire mushroom world.

The reason why he ended up in our village was because he obtained a formless inheritance and was hunted by someone.

And the name of my master is... Zhuge Huowang.

Because of my master, I naturally joined the Holy Church and lived a life where everyone was calling for my death.

I often wonder, is the life I am living now really what I want?

What I want to be is the high and mighty mushroom master.

Instead of being a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.

But now that things have come to this, it's too late to regret.

I can only go down this path until the end, hoping that one day I can become a mushroom fairy and escape this life of hiding from people.

However, fate plays tricks on people...

No matter how hard a C-level Dantian tries, without a method to improve their aptitude, they'll never be able to ascend to immortality. I'm stuck at the third level, unable to advance even a fraction.

I was unwilling to give up, so I found a master.

I know that my master once received a formless inheritance.

And his formless inheritance just happened to contain a good recipe for improving one's aptitude.

So I knelt on the ground and asked the master for a prescription.

However, the master ignored me and was unwilling to give me the prescription no matter how much I begged.

I felt resentful about this and thought that the master only cared about himself and not his apprentice.

He only had the Holy Religion in his heart and only wanted to ascend to immortality.

And I was just a source of entertainment for him to relieve his fatigue during the journey.

In this situation, a bold idea came to my mind.

Finally, one day.

My master is preparing to ascend to become an immortal.

Because of the Wuxiang inheritance, my master is preparing to ascend to the Hun Tian opened up by Wuxiang Tianzun.

That day, my master suffered a heavenly calamity.

Various natural and man-made disasters followed one after another.

All mushroom masters from a thousand miles around gathered together, no matter they were from the righteous or evil ways, they all wanted to kill him and take away the immortal opportunity of inheriting the Wuxiang inheritance.

I took advantage of my master's imprisonment to betray him and the Holy Church.

I tried every possible way to steal my master's inheritance.

It’s a pity that the inheritance I stole did not include the formless inheritance that my master obtained.

Among them were only the Blood Path, the Soul Path, the Poison Path, three parts of the Five-Transformation inheritance, and an incomplete recipe for the Immortal Mushroom.

And that magic mushroom recipe undoubtedly became my life-saving straw.

The fairy mushroom recorded on it is called Tai Sui Mushroom.

Once you eat this mushroom, you will have great luck in a short period of time.

If someone provokes someone who eats this mushroom, he will be in trouble and everything will go wrong.

As the saying goes, when Tai Sui sits above your head, there will be no joy but perhaps disaster.

If I can refine this mushroom, even if I can't refine the immortal mushroom, but can only refine the ordinary mushroom, I can still hope to stand out from the crowd, ascend to heaven in one step, and become an immortal.

But I know very well that if my master gets to know about this, I will surely die.

So, I took the inheritance, hid my identity, and fled as far away as I could.

Later, I heard that my master successfully ascended to heaven and became a mushroom immortal.

When I heard the news, I felt relieved.

This is because once the mushroom master ascends to become an immortal and enters the ninth heaven, he cannot easily descend to the mortal world.

As we all know, there is a boundary wall between the four continents, called the Four Symbols Boundary Wall.

However, what the world does not know is that these four-element boundary walls also exist in the sky.

The Four Symbols Boundary Wall is like a cover, covering the four continents.

If the mushroom fairy enters the four continents from the ninth heaven, it will be affected.

Of course, I don’t know what the specific impact is.

But judging from the fact that there are very few mushroom fairies walking around in the four continents, it shouldn't be that small.

However, I did not let my guard down because of this. Instead, I became more cautious.

I fled to a place called Zhaodi Town and lived there under an assumed name.

During the day, I am a doctor who saves lives in town.

Heitian, I am a demon who is willing to kill people to make mushrooms.

In order to collect all the mushroom materials on the mushroom square, I often fought with mushroom masters and even mushroom beasts, risking my life.

But even so, with my level of cultivation, I am still unable to collect all the mushroom ingredients for the Immortal Mushroom Recipe.

In this situation, I looked for a powerful independent cultivator.

I tried every possible way, using various inheritances as bait to make him believe that I could introduce him to the Holy Church.

I reached a cooperation with him and worked together to search for mushroom materials in order to refine the Tai Sui mushroom.

But unfortunately, even with the addition of that independent cultivator, progress is still very slow.

Later, while searching for mushroom materials, the wandering cultivator obtained the method of possessing another's body from somewhere unknown.

As a result, he began to think about taking over the body of the kind-hearted abbot in the town.

If he could take over the body of Abbot Shanren and inherit the Songzi Temple.

By then, the difficulty of gathering all the mushroom materials needed to refine the fifth-level Tai Sui mushroom will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

So I conspired with him and set up a trap.

He pretended to be a seriously injured mushroom master and took advantage of Abbot Shanren's kindness to lure the wolf into the house. They became good friends who could talk about anything.

The abbot completely let down his guard against him and often invited him to visit the temple.

After going there a few times, he got to know all the trivial matters in the temple.

He felt the time was right, so on a dark and windy night, he took over the abbot's body...

……

"Om-"

A sharp tinnitus suddenly sounded.

Wu Liang was originally immersed in the memories of Doctor Mo and couldn't extricate himself.

However, along with the tinnitus, he suddenly felt a splitting headache.

In this situation, Wu Liang had to stop searching his soul and withdraw from his memory.

"Um……"

Wu Liang groaned barely perceptibly, suppressed his dizziness, and opened his eyes.

It was not until this moment that he discovered that Doctor Mo's remaining soul was on the verge of collapse.

Just listen to a "bang"!
The remaining soul of Doctor Mo could not withstand the influence of the soul-searching mushroom, and exploded into stars on the spot, and his soul was shattered!
