Mushroom Man

Chapter 5: Grab it and refine it in an instant
Well known.

Most of the Wu family members are slave mushroom masters.

Therefore, among the clan's mushroom room, the most complex ones are the Nudao mushrooms.

There's a powerful mushroom that can turn beans into soldiers...

There are shrooms that can parasitize others...

There are dog-licking mushrooms that enslave male dogs and make them willingly give...

There is also the Wu family’s famous labor mushroom, which forces people to serve and provide unpaid labor.

Later, it can even be cultivated into corvée mushrooms, military service mushrooms, etc.

But Wu Liang was not very interested in these.

"Most of the slave mushroom masters are very resource-intensive."

"And the Wu family's slave tradition is basically controlled by the Zong family."

"If I focus on the path of slavery, I will inevitably become the family's cattle and horses in exchange for resources and subsequent mushrooms."

"This is also one of the reasons why most branch mushroom masters are willing to obey the main family."

Wu Liang stroked his chin, and in a short while, he cleared the slave path from his mind.

He thought about it and finally decided on the style he wanted to focus on next... Qidao!
For him, Qidao is relatively a panacea and can be coordinated with various schools of thought.

Moreover, in this world, although Qidao cannot be said to be prosperous, it is also a long-lasting school of thought.

Most mushroom materials and resources can be found in the market.

This is extremely important to Wu Liang. After all, he doesn't want to be trapped in the Wu family for the rest of his life. He must go out and find his way home no matter what.

"Although the Airway Mushroom Master is mediocre and nothing stands out, this very fact becomes its advantage."

"It's better to be moderate than to be strangled. I have the ability to see the green hand, and I will be able to find all kinds of resources in the future."

"Only Qi Dao can help me coordinate various schools and digest the various resources I have obtained."

Wu Liang's mind moved, and his eyes were fixed on the sword energy mushroom and the fetal energy mushroom.

The Sword Qi Mushroom is mainly used for killing, and can make up for his lack of killing means.

However, this mushroom is not that rare and can still be bought in the town’s market.

"Let's choose the Fetal Mushroom and the Wine Mushroom..."

"The Fetal Qi Mushroom can help me cultivate my vital energy, and its effects are relatively versatile."

"In the future, it can be cultivated into a second-level mother gas mushroom, giving birth to various kinds of gas, and used to perform gas channel mushrooms."

"And the wine mushrooms can improve the quality of my true qi, slightly improve my qualifications, and allow me to cultivate to the second level without any obstacles."

After Wu Liang made up his mind, he asked someone to get the two mushrooms and then left.

"It's time to go to the town's market..."

"The Fetal Qi Mushroom is easy to grow, as it only requires nourishing with true Qi, but the Wine Mushroom requires fine wine to be watered."

"Luckily, my foolish cousin gave me some change, so after paying for the medicine, there was still some left."

"I think it can be used to buy a few jars of fine wine for ordinary people to drink. It should be enough to get by for a few days."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang did not rush home.

While it was still early, he hurried to find the clan elder who was in charge of entry and exit of the clan land and made an application. Only then was he allowed to leave the clan land and go to the town market.

At the same time, on the other side...

Temple of Childbirth.

The temple is located on a high mountain, overlooking the entire Zhaodi Town.

This place is very popular, with people coming and going to burn incense and worship Buddha.

In a Zen room somewhere.

An old monk wearing a cassock and with a kind face was beating a wooden fish with his eyes slightly closed.

"Master."

Wu Xingzhe stood aside and spoke respectfully.

"I have visited all three families and asked many people who have had contact with Sekong, but I have not received any information about his whereabouts."

"According to the three families, after Sekong came down the mountain, he went to the Yan family, the Wang family, and finally stayed at the Wu family before he disappeared."

"But I went to the Wu family and asked around, but didn't get any useful information. I only know that Sekong was drunk and went to the town."

Wu Xingzhe lowered his head and told the old monk every detail of the information he had gathered. After the old monk, Abbot Shanren, finished his report, the wooden fish he was constantly beating suddenly stopped.

"stupid!"

Abbot Shanren, who had a kind face, suddenly spoke in a cold voice.

If the people of Zhaodi Town saw this scene, they would be shocked.

You should know that Abbot Shanren is a well-known philanthropist. Not only is he kind, but he also has a big heart and often helps people in distress.

But it was this person who actually cursed at me.

"Zhaodi Town is full of three mushroom masters, and there are disciples from my temple. If my son really disappeared in the town, he would have been found long ago."

"You just believe whatever others say. When will your brain become more clear?"

Abbot Shanren had an indifferent expression and a tone that was somewhat disappointed.

"Master means..."

"Did those mushroom masters from the Wu family lie and deceive their disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xingzhe couldn't help but scratch his head.

"No."

"Perhaps it's not just the Wu family. The Wang and Yan families may have lied as well."

"These three families are in the same boat. If my son's disappearance was really caused by one of them, it would be natural for them to lie to each other."

Abbot Shanren shook his head when he said this.

"However, I am more inclined to believe that this was done privately by a mushroom master."

"After all, the three family heads have always had close ties with my temple. There is no reason for them to offend me."

When Wu Xingzhe heard this, the little guy who had left a deep impression on him came to his mind.

If he were to ask who among the three mushroom chefs was the most suspicious, he could only think of Wu Liang.

It’s a pity that the guy’s words are so leaky. Although he has the motive, he has no ability. It’s really hard to confirm whether it is him.

"Master, this time it was my fault that I failed to bring back Sekong."

"Master, please give me the Repentance Mushroom. This time, I will conduct a thorough investigation and find the culprit behind this."

Wu Xingzhe spoke in a muffled voice and suggested visiting the three families again.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Abbot Shanren raised his hand to stop him.

"inappropriate."

"Without solid evidence, rashly using the confession mushroom to interrogate the three mushroom masters would have a very negative impact."

"If we can really get something out of this, it would be fine. But if we can't get the truth out of this, how can the three family heads just let it go?"

"Even rabbits will bite when cornered, let alone these cunning people."

Abbot Shanren paused when he spoke here.

"I have already made up my mind about this matter..."

"It just so happens that your Junior Sister Wen has just returned from a lecture and is already in town. We'll let her take charge of this matter."

"Since my son's life lamp is still there, I think the villain behind this is hesitant and doesn't dare to kill him rashly."

"My son must be under house arrest now. You just need to keep an eye on the mushroom masters who come in and out of Zhaodi Town and don't let the thief behind this go away."

When Wu Xingzhe heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Junior Sister Wen is back?"

"Okay, okay. With her investigating this matter, I think it won't take long before she can find the culprit behind this and bring him back to Sekong."

"Disciple will go down immediately and personally guard the town entrance. I will not let any suspicious person escape."

After he finished speaking, he took his leave and left the Zen room.

Abbot Shanren had a gloomy look in his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Sekong is an old monk. Fortunately, I have worked hard for many years to cultivate the seeds, and now I have finally obtained a first-class Dantian."

“It was right before my eyes that I could enjoy it, but it disappeared without a trace.”

"Who on earth is this blind little thief who dares to ruin my plans at this critical juncture?"

"If I knew who you were, I would tear your tendons and skin you alive, and have a thousand people hammer you to death, only then would I be able to relieve the hatred in my heart..."
