Old Mushroom's face flushed, and he lowered his head in frustration. Yeah! In front of this classmate with tremendous spiritual power, he was indeed weak. What qualifications did he have to be someone else's Shikigami?

"Okay, stand up first. Isn't it uncomfortable to talk to me while kneeling like this?" Lan Ziye felt a little soft-hearted when he saw the pitiful look of the old man.

Old Mushroom hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up. He couldn't figure out his classmate's temper, so in order not to upset this life-saving straw, he chose to obey.

Seeing Old Mushroom stand up, Lan Ziye's expression softened a little. What she hated most was those people who would kneel down at every turn and would not get up if they didn't agree. This was unreasonable and forced.

This old mushroom is quite sensible!

"Tell me first, what's the matter with going to the second floor of Changpu Mountain?" Lan Ziye asked patiently.

Old Mushroom quickly replied honestly: "The first floor of Changpu Mountain is protected by the magic circle of Lanxuan Academy. The monsters on the first floor cannot enter the second floor. Similarly, the powerful monster generals on the second and third floors cannot enter the first floor. This is also the premise for Lanxuan Academy to ensure that the monsters here can survive. The second floor is completely different from the first floor. The monsters on the second floor are not raised by Lanxuan Academy. They can practice freely and become monsters, monster generals, and even reach the level of monster kings! Although survival is difficult, at least they live by their own ability!" When he said this, Old Mushroom looked longing.

After saying this, he was silent for a moment, then the old mushroom said sadly, "Although I know that monsters like us who have only cultivated in the greenhouse and have never experienced bloody battles have no fighting power at all and are simply no match for those monster generals on the second floor, and I might die at the hands of those powerful monster generals as soon as I enter the second floor, but... I still want to try again!"

Lan Ziye thought for a moment and said, "What are you good at?"

Old Mushroom was stunned, not knowing what Lan Ziye meant by this.

"If you want me to take you in, you must at least have one skill that you can show off!" Lan Ziye raised his eyelids and looked at Old Mushroom and said lightly.

Old Mushroom was overjoyed. Lan Ziye was clearly accepting him! He finally didn't have to die!

Old Mushroom thought hard for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Does recognizing herbs count? Does being able to... poison and detoxify count?"

Lan Ziye's eyes lit up. Well, that's great! It would be even better if he could know some medical skills.

Thinking of this, Lan Ziye asked.

The old mushroom looked bewildered and said, "I'm afraid I don't know any medicine!" He paused and continued, "We mushrooms are born with poisonous constitutions. We are poisonous creatures, so we know more about poisons than ordinary creatures. Besides, we have a leisurely life on this Calamus Mountain, and I study herbs when I have free time! A few years ago, I was obsessed with herbs. I would volunteer to let those students capture me and help them complete their tasks. The condition was that they would get me some books on herbal pharmacology from outside! Over the years, many students knew about this. Some students even took the initiative to bring me books on medicine to deliberately lure me out! I wanted their books, so of course I had to take the bait!"

Lan Ziye: ...How come Lan Rongrong didn’t find out about this news?

"Over the years, the feeling that I will break through to become a demon general has become stronger and stronger. I am afraid that I will suddenly break through, so I dare not show up again!" said Old Mushroom.

If his precious grandson had not offended someone he shouldn't have offended today, he would never have come out!
