Chapter 165 - 125: Astonishing Mutated Mushroom_3
"Suddenly soaring to mid-air over ten meters, spinning like a top, it’s too bizarre. If seen by others, they should find it quite astonishing."
"As long as it’s powerful enough."
Ye Hanjun affirmed:
"Your trip to the Yellow Mud Swamp has yielded good results already."
"Don’t slack off in the journey upcoming, the earlier you reach the perfection of Clay Body, the better prepared you will be to compete with the strongest ones in the North Campus District."
"Yes!"
Su Mei displayed a look of longing, responded with anticipation.
...
Half an hour later, the battlefield had been swept clean.
The most valuable materials were specifically stored by Ye Hanjun in the Dimensional Space Bag number two, to be sold when they return to Canghai Pavilion.
"Swoosh―"
The Blood-Sucking Dagger cut through the insect web, several panicked Stone Spotted Ants started to flee frantically.
Ye Hanjun was casually following behind, Su Mei and Pink Ostrich were on his right wing, and Li Jingming was on his left.
And behind Li Jingming was the Ghost-Faced Moth carrying the Mud Blade Mantis in flight.
Although this Mud Blade Mantis enjoyed the Sweet Slime, its taste buds were in a state of bliss.
But at this stage, there was always the probability of it rebelling against its master or running away. Thus, it was impossible to let it roam free.
Luckily, this large mantis only looked big, its weight was not different from that of an adult man.
The Ghost-Faced Moth holding it in flight did not feel particularly strained, it only needed to closely monitor the insect net binding. As long as it reminded its master to replace the net before the energy had dissipated, there wouldn’t be a problem."
"Clay...clay..."
The Mud Blade Mantis had wings, but it had lost its freedom, it was a bit scared and a bit dazed.
Even if it exhausted its mind, it didn’t know what these strange beings wanted to do with it.
Thus, it was overwhelmingly oppressed by the innate sense of crisis, the naturally intelligent creature was willing to think, but eventually accepted helplessly and powerlessly.
"Master Han, why are we following these Stone Spotted Ants?" Su Mei asked curiously.
"The Stone Spotted Ants live in the swamp area, but they like to eat plants."
"Near their nests, we might find the mushrooms I am looking for."
Ye Hanjun was fully focused, as he evaded dangerous mud traps at times, and summoned Huazhu to slay beasts that appeared at others.
When necessary, he would even scare away predators in the sky. Otherwise, if these Stone Spotted Ants were to die before getting home, the plan would fall through.
"Master Han, is this a Stiff Mushroom?"
Half a day later, the ground was slightly dry. Who could have expected such wonders in a place covered in swamp mud?
Su Mei pointed at the wind-dried sludge cave, a look of surprise in her eyes.
The white mushrooms seen everywhere inside looked very dense, there should be hundreds of them.
"No, this is the Intelligence Reduction Mushroom."
Ye Hanjun shook his head: "The toxicity of this mushroom isn’t strong, but if ingested in large amounts, it can dissolve fat. Many weight-loss elixirs use it as a raw material."
"Huh? The legendary Intelligence Reduction Mushroom looks like this?"
Su Mei had obviously heard of it, but hadn’t been able to connect the name with the object.
Upon hearing Master Han’s explanation, she finally understood and carefully observed this fat-reducing mushroom, taking a mental note of its appearance.
"Master Han, is this the Stiff Mushroom?"
On the other hand, Li Jingming found a mushroom growing on the wall.
The mushroom was also white, but the stipe was a bit shorter and the margins of the gill appeared to be wave-like.
"No, this is an Intelligence Reduction Mushroom, a mutated variety of the Fat-Reduction Mushroom."
Ye Hanjun craned his neck to look directly at the mushroom for a while before shaking his head again.
"Huh?"
Su Mei was startled, as was Li Jingming.
"Haven’t you heard that long-term use of weight-loss drugs can often lead to accidents?"
With a calm demeanor, Ye Hanjun imparted knowledge:
"These mushrooms growing in clusters look similar, causing easy confusion."
"Even professional herb collectors could make a wrong judgment."
"If even the final elixir maker did not notice the anomaly and used the Intelligence Reduction Mushroom as a Fat-Reduction Mushroom, if the dosage is small it’s fine, if the dosage is large, the consumer’s brain nerves will be severely damaged, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they could turn into a fool overnight."
"That’s terrifying..."
Su Mei shrunk her neck in fear.
Every girl has a desire to be beautiful.
Although as a Patron, more than half have good figures, those who should be slender are slender, and those who should be plump are plump.
But there always are some low periods, body shape out of form.
At this time, they indeed could use drugs to quickly adjust their bodies.
But... reducing fat, reducing wisdom.
A difference of one word, but as different as chalk and cheese!
This was the first time Su Mei heard that even weight loss pills had such a deceptive trap!
"As long as it is not confused and used to harm normal people, this mushroom has a high value."
"Because some Patrons, under the situation where there are no other alternatives, choose to use a special method of Ascending Evolution."
"For instance, sacrificing wisdom to pursue a breakthrough in their rank, this Intelligence Reduction Mushroom is often one of the auxiliary materials."
Swirling his dagger in a dance, Ye Hanjun dug out the white mushroom, root and all, and carefully placed it into the medicine box.
"Also, this black and white one is the ’Sauce Mushroom’, suitable as a seasoning, so let’s collect a few."
"This yellow and white one is the ’Ginger Juice Mushroom’, eating it has a warming effect, which can resist wind and cold."
"This flat and pointed one is the ’Pulp Paper Mushroom’, it is one of the raw materials for making Spirit Cloth Scrolls..."
...
One after another, Ye Hanjun led the two disciples, identifying various types of mushrooms.
Even Li Jingming was somewhat overwhelmed, the gene pool of the Fat-Reduction Mushroom was robust, the effect of so many mutated varieties of mushrooms was not the same at all.
