Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San to fight Gangzi

Chapter 54 Moonlight Mushroom

"Alright, our target is the Moonshroom."

Xiao Lin's lips curled into a slight smile: "I know where it is?"

"Moonlight Giant Mushroom?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this, as they had never heard of such a soul beast before.

Even Xiao Wu, a soul beast in human form, had never heard of her.

"The Moon-shroom is a large blue mushroom that absorbs moonlight. Its umbrella-shaped cap is very soft and bouncy, and it is said to store the essence of the moon inside."

"This kind of soul beast can only appear in clear waters that can absorb moonlight. Once it encounters an enemy, it will spray out the essence of moonlight along with its spores."

"The attacked enemy will gain a large amount of life force in an instant and lose interest in it, so it is very suitable as a soul ring for healing-type soul masters."

Xiao Lin paused for a moment: "However, the only pity is that even though this kind of soul beast has moonlight essence that makes enemies uninterested, it is still difficult for it to survive. So recently, I haven't seen anyone obtain a Moonlight Giant Mushroom soul ring."

"Sometimes, powerful spirit beasts don't intend to harm the Moonlight Giant Mushroom, but their unintentional actions can still make the Moonlight Giant Mushroom's survival environment difficult."

"Furthermore, the moonlight in a small pond is insufficient for the Moonlight Sprite to reproduce. Only when the Moonlight Sprite dies will the moonlight essence that bursts from its body activate some spores at the bottom of the water, allowing new Moonlight Sprites to grow."

Xiao Lin shook his head. This kind of soul beast, like the giant panda in Xiao Lin's previous life, was a species that brought itself to the brink of death.

Upon hearing Xiao Lin's introduction, everyone present was astonished by his knowledge, as he even knew such things.

"But, according to what you're saying, even if the Moonlight Giant Mushroom is extremely rare, it should be remembered by Soul Masters because of its powerful vitality, so how come no one knows about it?"

Su Yuntao was puzzled. It would be one thing if these soul beasts were hunted to extinction, but how could they be forgotten?

"That's not the reason. The Moonlight Mushroom itself doesn't have the ability to make people forget. It's just that all the Soul Masters who have come into contact with the Moonlight Mushroom are slightly addicted and don't want to tell others."

"The powerful vitality of that moonlight essence is already worthy of being used as a precious medicinal material. Which soul master would be willing to give it up?"

"And it is precisely this powerful vitality that has brought the Moonshroom to the brink of extinction."

"Imagine a soul beast coming into contact with the Moonlight Giant Mushroom in order to gain stronger vitality, while the Moonlight Giant Mushroom uses up the moonlight essence it has painstakingly collected time and time again in order to save its life."

"Does the Moonlight Mushroom still have any cultivation? Adding fuel to the fire will only make it bigger."

Xiao Lin felt very sorry for the Moonlight Giant Mushroom's situation. In fact, this kind of soul beast should stay in the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

There were no low-level soul beasts there, only the Azure Bull Python, the king of the forest, and a few ferocious beasts.

The ferocious beasts and the Azure Bull Pythons are not powerful enough to be interested in the Moonlight Giant Mushroom. Unless it's unintentional, the Moonlight Giant Mushroom can at least reproduce there, and it might even reach the level of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Of course, whether those ferocious beasts are willing to let the Moonlight Mushroom live in is another matter entirely.

"According to what you're saying, Brother Lin, it's hard to say whether that giant moon mushroom is still around."

Xiao Wu tilted her head, a hint of regret on her face.

I wonder if this kind of mushroom tastes good?

Xiao Lin nodded firmly: "I saw it in a travelogue from 50 years ago. When the author recorded it, he confirmed that the cultivation level of the Moonlight Giant Mushroom was probably around four hundred years."

"Right now, we don't know the situation of the soul beasts in the Soul Hunting Forest, or whether the Moonlight Giant Mushroom is still alive."

"If she's alive and her cultivation is still declining, she'd be perfect for Sister Gui to have as her first spirit ring."

"Perhaps it will awaken a soul skill related to the essence of moonlight, or perhaps it will even evolve the Osmanthus Martial Soul into the Moon Osmanthus."

"In short, when you absorb the spirit ring, Sister Gui, you must believe that you are a food-type spirit master and silently recite the spirit incantation."

"If you don't know the Soul Incantation, Sister Gui, you can refer to a Soul Incantation like 'I Have a Bunch of Laurel Flowers'."

"You must firmly believe that you are a food-type Soul Master, and silently repeat it in your heart."

Xiao Lin was afraid that Sister Gui wouldn't understand, so he reminded her repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xiao Gui clenched her fists, trying to encourage herself.

After hearing Xiao Lin's words, Tang San also felt a little regretful.

No wonder Xiao Lin didn't recommend this soul beast to him; if the soul beast he absorbed his first soul ring from was the Moonlight Giant Mushroom.

It's unlikely that you can only absorb a soul beast that's two or three hundred years old. You know, the soul power cultivation of a soul ring can help a soul master level up quickly.

If he had absorbed the Moonlight Mushroom's spirit ring, he might have only reached level 11 at that time, and if he had awakened the spirit ring that emitted moonlight, he would have been finished.

His vitality will increase, but the increase in the strength of his martial soul will be very limited.

Moreover, the vitality of the Moonlight Giant Mushroom comes from absorbing the essence of moonlight, not from the spirit beast itself. What if it doesn't increase his vitality?

This soul skill is a light-type soul skill, capable of shooting out the essence of life and the essence of moonlight, which made Tang San feel inexplicably exhausted.

If a spirit beast can cause one's cultivation to regress, then wouldn't an ordinary Blue Silver Grass spirit master be completely drained?

One soul skill consumes most of his soul power?

Perhaps only someone like Sister Gui, with her numerous and scattered Osmanthus Martial Souls, is suited to the Soul Skills bestowed by this kind of Soul Beast.

If more patients need treatment, should we give them more osmanthus flowers?

With this thought in mind, Tang San gained a new appreciation for Xiao Lin's wisdom.

As the saying goes, reading a book doesn't mean you've learned it, and learning it doesn't mean you can apply the knowledge effectively.

Yu Xiaogang knows a lot about spirit beasts, but he's just not good at finding suitable spirit rings for Blue Silver Grass.

If Yu Xiaogang wasn't interested in Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, but only in Tang San's early combat power...

As for the other Shrek Academy members' choice of spirit rings, Yu Xiaogang's decision can be described as a complete mess.

For example, Ma Hongjun uses all his soul skills as if he were a turret-type soul master, without considering his mobility and vitality as a phoenix.

If Xiao Lin had awakened the Phoenix Martial Soul, he would definitely only have given himself abilities like Extreme Vitality and Extreme Fire.

Vitality inherits the divine position of the God of Life, and Ultimate Fire inherits the divine position of the God of Destruction.

"Now that you mention it, I know where this giant moon mushroom is."

At this moment, Su Yuntao suddenly realized that he had thought of a suitable habitat for the Moonlight Giant Mushroom.

"If Xiao Gui chooses this soul beast, I'll talk to Brother Wang and then I'll lead the way," Su Yuntao said.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Xiao Gui nodded, having made up her mind.

At that moment, Tang San secretly glanced at Xiao Lin.

Is it really that simple and easy to switch to a food-type Soul Master?
