Following.

Desert underground, Black City.

On the corner of the street.

A mortal looked at Su Xing, with a hint of greed in his eyes: "Shangxian, as long as I eat this 'crystal mushroom', will you really give me a spirit stone?" ”

"Hmm."

Su Xing patted the storage bag on his waist, took out the 'flesh and blood mushroom' and the spirit stone together, and replied: "But I said in advance, the mushroom in my hand is a new variety, and it is difficult to say whether something will happen if you eat it, so this matter is risky." ”

Is it risky....

The man glanced at the pale red mushroom in Su Xing's hand, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

In fact, he also knew very well in his heart that Su Xing would send out a spirit stone for him to try, which meant that this must not be an ordinary mushroom.

The other party was looking for him to test drugs.

But there is no way, the temptation of a spirit stone is too great.

The mortal analyzed: "This is indeed a bit different, but more than 100,000 people in the entire Black City basically eat this mushroom every day, and no one has seen any accidents." ”

When this person said this, he was not only responding to Su Xing, but also persuading himself.

After thinking about it for a long time.

Thinking that he still had a wife and children at home, this man gritted his teeth, took the 'flesh and blood mushroom', and then swallowed it.

"How does it feel?" Su Xing looked expectant.

The mortal said timidly, "I eat it, it seems to be a little harder than the ordinary 'crystal mushroom'..."

When the 'flesh mushroom' matures, it will crystallize and gradually transform into a spirit stone vein, which is normal to be a little harder than ordinary mushrooms.

Su Xing continued: "I'm not asking you about the taste, I'm asking if you feel physically?" ”

"Do you feel...."

The mortal pondered for a moment, and replied truthfully: "It seems that I haven't eaten much!" ”

"You...."

Hearing the mortal's answer, Su Xing was speechless.

He was just about to continue saying something, but he saw that the mortal in front of him suddenly fell to his knees, and his body quickly twitched.

It's broken.

Could it be that this mushroom is really poisonous?

Su Xing hurriedly asked, "How are you now?" Isn't that mushroom poisonous? ”

"It's not poison...."

The mortal had a distorted expression, as if he was trying to endure something.

After holding it for a long time, he replied: "After I ate the mushroom, I heard a voice talking in my ear, and I felt so uncomfortable. ”

Got a sound?

Su Xing was puzzled: "What voice, what is it saying in your head?" ”

"I only heard one word." The mortal lay on the ground, clutching his head, as if trying to drive the voice away.

"What word?" Su Xing asked.

"Spirit!"

When the mortal man said the word 'spirit', he seemed to be enchanted.

With a look of relief on his face, he laughed wildly for no reason: "Oh hey hey hey...."

"What are you laughing at all of a sudden?"

Su Xing took a step back, his face full of jealousy.

The mortal didn't respond to Su Xing directly, but just fell straight to the ground and muttered, "I can't describe it, I can obviously feel it, but I can't describe it..."

"I can't describe it!"

in the house.

After the mortal roared, he tilted his head to reveal a strange expression, and died violently on the spot.

A few seconds later, countless new 'flesh mushrooms' were born from the surface of the opponent's body one after another.

This state of death....

Su Xing, who was observing the whole process on the side, already had a general understanding of the 'flesh and blood mushroom' in his heart:

Not all dead people will grow 'flesh mushrooms' from their bodies.

To do this, a person must be made to swallow the 'flesh mushroom' of their infancy before they die.

From this point of view, the human body is equivalent to the breeding ground for the cultivation of these 'flesh mushrooms'.

Swallowing a mushroom is equivalent to 'planting the seed of a mushroom'.

As for why the celestials are not affected....

Perhaps, this has something to do with the physique of the celestial people.

Or, the celestials have mastered certain ways to avoid the negative effects of mushrooms.

On the corner of the street.

Su Xing looked around and saw that no one paid attention to him, so he took the spirit stone from the mortal body and left this place in a hurry.

In order to further test the characteristics of the 'flesh mushroom', Su Xing came to the mine again, planning to find a Qi cultivation monk to try.

He leaned in front of the monk who was shy and had few days left, and lowered his voice: "Fellow Daoist, can you do me a favor?" ”

"No, I'm busy mining."

"It doesn't take much time."

As Su Xing spoke, he took out the Life Elixir and the 'Flesh and Blood Mushroom' from the storage bag.

He tempted: "As long as you are willing to eat this mushroom, I will give you the life medicine." ”

"Huh?"

The impoverished monk looked suspicious, apparently not believing that such a good thing could happen.

He glanced at the mushroom in Su Xing's hand and said cautiously: "Why is your mushroom blood-red?" ”

"This is a new breed, and eating it can enhance people's physique."

Su Xing explained: "However, I can't guarantee whether this mushroom will be poisonous or not, so I need someone to try it." ”

From the outside, there is no difference between the 'Flesh and Blood Mushroom' and the 'Crystal Mushroom' commonly eaten by the residents of the Black City.

Therefore, the poor monk did not think much of it: "If you want me to try it, you must give me three more pieces.... No, four spirit stones! ”

"This...."

Su Xing pretended to be entangled.

After a long time, he said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll add four more spirit stones!" ”

"Don't go back."

Seeing Su Xing take out the spirit stone from the storage bag, the poor monk immediately grabbed it in his hand and swallowed the 'flesh and blood mushroom' in one gulp.

Not much.

Su Xing looked forward to it: "Do you feel anything?" ”

"It doesn't feel good...."

The impoverished monk looked horrified: "After eating this mushroom, how can I feel that someone is always talking in my ear?" ”

It seems that after swallowing the 'flesh mushroom', the poor monk seems to have the same symptoms as the mortal.

It's just that in comparison, monks are not as serious as mortals.

While the other party was still conscious, Su Xing hurriedly asked, "What did that person say?" ”

"I can't hear clearly."

The poor monk said, "I can't even describe who that man is, I can only hear one word of it." ”

"It's a 'spirit', isn't it?"

"So you ate this mushroom too?"

Seeing that Su Xing said the content of the whispered voice in one mouthful, the poor monk breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you are okay now, then I will be relieved." ”

Su Xing patted the other party on the shoulder, and said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, no matter how strange this mushroom is, it won't eat the dead, it's just a new variety." ”

"So, this life pill and spirit stone are all mine?"

"Yes, it's all yours." As a lifespan medicine dealer, the wealthy Su Xing didn't care about this little bit of spirit stone.

To be on the safe side, after that, Su Xing secretly found a few monks and tried a small part of the 'flesh mushroom'.

As a result, the feedback he received was very uniform: apart from the whispering sound in his ears, these 'flesh mushrooms' were not too harmful to the human body.

In this way, Su Xing was completely relieved.

Half a day later.

When the work in the mine was over, Su Xing returned to the house by himself, took out the remaining 'flesh mushrooms', and tried to bite them.

Soon, a burst of whispers sounded in Su Xing's ears.

"Coffee, click, click, boom, ah.... Boom, boom, boom, boom...."

These whispers are chaotic and irregular, and cannot be described in human language.

In this whisper, the only thing Su Xing could hear clearly was the extremely standard pronunciation of the word 'Ling'.

Furthermore.

At the moment when the word 'spirit' sounded, an extremely familiar figure appeared in front of Su Xing's eyes.

I don't know why.

The more Su Xing looked at it, the more he felt that this figure had an indescribable resemblance to Morotian's indescribable creature 'Shou'.
