Yang Kai was overjoyed, “Can you find its true body?”
He had previously heard from Pu Bai Xiong that in the Great Ruins Boundary, there were several Holy Medicine that had already taken human form. Yang Kai was also very interested in these Holy Medicine, but he hadn’t expected that he would suddenly enter the territory of a Holy Medicine, and from what Pu Baixiong said, this fog was actually the method of that Holy Medicine!
Such a method was strange and unpredictable, truly extraordinary. He didn’t know what this little mushroom that Pu Baixiong was talking about was, but it had such a strange ability.
“What’s so difficult about that?” Pu Baixiong shook his head, “I often come here to visit her. Old Master, follow me, I’ll bring you to her.”
Leaping to the ground, he rushed forward and disappeared into the fog.
Looking back, he laughed, “Little brat, if you hadn’t entered this place, this Great Pu really wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you. You just had to recklessly enter this place, I’ll teach you a lesson.”
He was the manifestation of a Holy Medicine and had finally obtained his own sentience, so how could he be willing to be captured by Yang Kai? His previous cooperation was just a disguise, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to escape, but now this opportunity had finally come.
“When I go find Little Mushroom, I’ll have her trap you here so you can forget about ever leaving,” Pu Baixiong said proudly, “Trying to compete in wits and courage with Grandpa Pu is simply naive!”
The root transformed into a pair of legs and flew into the fog.
Not long after, he entered a cave and Pu Baixiong called out, “Little Mushroom, are you home?”
There was no response.
Pu Baixiong muttered, “This idiot, could she have fallen asleep again? En, yes, she must have fallen asleep.”
Walking straight into the cave, she soon arrived at the depths of the cave. In the deepest part of the cave, there was a half-foot-tall mushroom that was rooted to a piece of spiritual soil. The mushroom umbrella gently rose and fell, like a living creature slowly breathing. Along with the rise and fall of the mushroom umbrella, countless spores that could not be seen with the naked eye flew out from it, filling the world. It was these spores that formed this illusory fog, causing Yang Kai to unconsciously fall into an illusion, unable to find a way out.
On top of the mushroom umbrella, there was a beautiful flowing light.
Pu Baixiong stepped forward, raised his hand that was formed from roots, and held the Mushroom Umbrella, “Little Mushroom, wake up, there’s something going on here!”
“En?” A lazy voice rang out, and soon after, the pair of big eyes on the mushroom umbrella slowly opened, seemingly still half-asleep. Looking at Pu Baixiong, she closed her eyes and lazily said, “Why are you disturbing my sleep again? Hurry up and leave, I still need to sleep.”
The clear and tender voice belonged to a little girl.
Pu Baixiong raised his hand and hit her hard, causing the mushroom umbrella to shake. “Don’t sleep yet, help me with something.”
The large eyes on the mushroom umbrella suddenly opened again and stared at Pu Baixiong’s back, her eyes filled with terror as she exclaimed, “Pu Baixiong, why did you bring someone in?”
Pu Baixiong was startled and quickly turned his head, only to find that there was no one behind him, “Little girl, what nonsense are you spouting? There’s no one behind me.”
“There’s obviously someone here!” The Mushroom Umbrella cried out, and the half-foot-tall colored mushroom twisted, transforming into the shape of a little girl with a Mushroom Umbrella on her head. She fell to the ground and cried, “It’s over, it’s over, I’m going to be eaten!”
As she cried, the invisible spores flew outwards, and Pu Baixiong said, “Don’t cry, if you cry again, Grandpa Pu won’t be able to bear it. Oh, so many stars!”
“You’re actually able to see me? That’s right, this fog is your ability. Since I’m in this fog, naturally you’ll be able to sense me.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Pu Baixiong like a ghost. Pu Baixiong, whose eyes were filled with stars, turned his head and saw a ripple behind him, revealing Yang Kai’s figure.
At this moment, Yang Kai was removing a thin veil from his body, which was the Shadowless Gauze.
When he had released Pu Baixiong from the Mysterious Small World, Yang Kai had been a bit cautious. The facts had proven that Pu Baixiong’s rebellious nature was truly unreliable. If it weren’t for the fact that he had been following this guy closely, perhaps he really would have been left behind.
“What are you doing here?” Pu Baixiong was shocked, his face turning pale as he laughed foolishly, “It’s not you, it’s definitely not you, this is an illusion, wake up!”
The mushroom couldn’t stop crying, “It’s not an illusion, he’s really here!” Tears streamed down her face, turning into a thick fog before it even landed on the ground.
Pu Baixiong turned his head stiffly and stared at the Mushroom, “It’s not an illusion?”
Yang Kai chuckled.
Pu Baixiong’s roots went soft and he fell to his knees, smiling at Yang Kai while pointing at the mushroom, “Old Master, I found the Holy Medicine for you. This little girl should be quite delicious, you should be able to boil some soup!”
“Wah!” The mushroom cried even harder, cursing as she cried, “Stinky grapes, you actually brought people here to harm me. If I had known this would happen, I would have killed you!”
Saying so, she pounced forward and began punching and kicking Pu Baixiong.
Pu Baixiong naturally resisted, the two transformed Holy Medicine were fighting in front of Yang Kai, and after a while, their face became swollen. However, these two Holy Medicine were still moving out of the cave, seemingly about to pass by Yang Kai.
Yang Kai bent down and grabbed them one by one.
Pu Baixiong sniffed and turned his head to the side, his expression indifferent.
However, the mushroom simply stared at Yang Kai with its mouth aggrieved.
“It’s just like the real thing,” Yang Kai looked at the two Holy Medicine in his hands and suddenly shouted, “Break!”
In his left eye, the Life's Exterminator Demon Eye shone brightly as the vision in front of him distorted. The two Holy Medicine he was holding in his hand suddenly transformed into two hard and cold stones.
Everything he saw just now was an illusion!
At the same time, at the entrance of the cave, Pu Baixiong and the mushroom were stealthily fleeing like thieves. At this moment, they turned around and saw Yang Kai looking at them with a smile.
Mushroom screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Pu Baixiong shouted, “Split up!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his roots flew out.
“Condense!” Yang Kai activated his Space Laws, causing the space around him to solidify and Pu Baixiong to freeze in place, leaving only his eyes rolling around.
“Impressive!” Yang Kai clasped his hands behind his back and walked towards the two Holy Medicine step by step. When he was walking through this fog, he wasn’t sure of its exact nature and had accidentally stumbled upon it. Later on, when he learned that this fog had the ability to create illusions, he had focused his attention on activating the Soul Warming Lotus to clear his mind. If not for this, he wouldn’t have been able to follow Pu Baixiong all the way here, much less breaks this mushroom’s illusion.
Even an ordinary Open Heaven Stage master would find it difficult to resist such a technique. As expected of a transform shape Holy Medicine born from the Unaging Land, it was truly extraordinary.
“No more than three, Grape, you’re courting death,” Yang Kai sneered.
Reaching out, he grabbed Pu Baixiong and stared at the grape on his head, his eyes flashing.
Pu Baixiong’s face went pale, “Old master, I won’t dare do it again.”
“These words sound familiar!”
Pu Baixiong raised his finger and swore to the heavens, “This time, it’s true. This lowly one will be obedient from now on and follow Old Master.”
“If something similar happens again…”
“You cook me!” Pu Baixiong said seriously.
Yang Kai nodded and placed him on his shoulder before turning to look at the mushroom with a pleasant expression, “You want to become a pot of mushroom soup…”
Mushroom quickly said, “I’ll also follow Master and serve him!”
Yang Kai praised, “This child is worth teaching!”
Mushroom smiled through her tears.
After a few simple questions, he realized that this mushroom in front of him was formed from Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom. The Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom had no other effects, but its ability to create illusions was second to none. If one accidentally ate a piece of it, they could fall into an illusion forever, unable to extricate themselves from it. After the Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom took form, this ability was infinitely magnified. She was addicted to sleeping and instinctively released it in her sleep, creating such a large area of fog.
Yang Kai bent down, picked up the mushroom, placed it on his other shoulder, and walked out.
This fog was formed from the spores released by the Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom. It could confuse most living creatures, but it couldn’t confuse a Holy Medicine like Pu Baixiong. That was why the Grapes were able to accurately find the place where the Mushroom were sleeping. Now that they were leaving, the Mushroom naturally had to withdraw this fog.
As they moved forward, the fog around them became thinner, transforming into countless spores that once again poured into the mushroom’s body.
When Yang Kai walked out of the fog region with the two Holy Medicine, he looked back and saw that the fog had disappeared.
Inside the fog, hundreds and thousands of cultivators were lying unconscious on the ground. It was obvious that they had accidentally entered this region and fallen into an illusion.
Now that the fog had been lifted, it wouldn’t be long before they woke up. Strictly speaking, Yang Kai had saved their lives, otherwise they would have died here.
Letting Pu Baixiong lead the way to find the Innate Fruit Tree, Yang Kai sped along.
A few days after the Unaging Land opened, more than two hundred thousand people poured into this place, but although there were many opportunities here, the dangers were also great. Just the number of cultivators who had died in the colorful passage was more than ten thousand. All of them had been ambushed and killed, let alone inside.
For example, the dandelions that protected the Grapes Yang Kai had encountered, the strange swamp, and the mist from the Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom were all fatal existences.
However, nothing in this world could compare to this place. Great opportunities meant great danger, and when a cultivator grew up, which one of them didn’t overcome many obstacles?
If one wasn’t careful, countless people would die, and only those with great destiny could reach the peak.
A few days later, as they passed by a certain place, the Grape suddenly asked, “Old Master, not far from here, there is another Holy Medicine that is similar to Little Mushroom and myself. Does Old Master want to take it?”
