Feeling the warmth in his palm, Zhou Mu was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
Then, he carefully tucked it into his pocket.
It felt like holding a priceless treasure.
Although the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was indeed precious, for Zhou Mu, what he treasured was not the Ganoderma lucidum itself, but the remarkable improvement that Xiao Jiu could bring after eating it.
This is the most precious thing.
With that thought in mind, he hurriedly went out through the passageway.
As for the so-called Six Sons' Upper Armor Diagram, let it remain buried in the dust. For Zhou Mu now, the most important thing is to hand over this Ganoderma lucidum to Xiao Jiu.
Not long after leaving the deep mountain area, they saw a group of people standing at the crossroads. The leader, dressed in brown, kept looking around, seemingly doing nothing. Behind him, several people followed with obsequious expressions, nodding and bowing to whatever the leader said.
The man seemed to enjoy the flattery, a smile appearing on his face.
Originally, Zhou Mu had nothing to do with it. Those people were standing on the east side, while Qingyun Peak was on the west side. After Zhou Mu came out, he went straight to the west.
The man in brown clothes saw Zhou Mu and assumed he was just a country farmer, so he didn't pay him any attention. But when he looked at the compass needle in his palm pointing in Zhou Mu's direction, he was taken aback.
He then squinted at Zhou Mu's back and asked, "Does that guy have some kind of treasure?"
Even he himself seemed a little insecure in his tone.
However, he spent a lot of money to have this compass blessed by a master, so it shouldn't be wrong.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go, stop him for me."
Upon seeing this, Du San, Wang Wu, and the others bowed and scraped before darting out. Their movements were incredibly agile. Du San reached Zhou Mu first, reaching out to stop him, and said, "Please wait, sir. My young master wishes to get to know you."
Zhou Mu's brows furrowed instantly.
He subconsciously hugged the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in his arms tighter.
He said coldly, "I don't know any young master of your family."
As he spoke, he prepared to bypass Du San.
At this moment, Wang Wu also ran over. In comparison, he seemed much more arrogant. He grabbed Zhou Mu and shouted, "You think you're so great? Can't you see my young master wants to see you? Stop running!"
His arm was suddenly pulled, and the movement was quite large. Zhou Mu was caught off guard, and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum fell from his arms.
The aroma of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum immediately wafted out.
Du San and Wang Wu were standing close by. Upon seeing this, Wang Wu's face immediately revealed a greedy look, and his eyes almost popped out. Du San, on the other hand, was more restrained and did not show it as obviously.
"Cough cough!"
Suddenly a cough was heard.
Behind them, Gu Yun, who had been walking slowly and deliberately, quickened her pace.
Seeing Zhou Mu about to go see Lingzhi, he quickly said loudly, "Stand still."
Zhou Mu was taken aback.
By the time he realized what was happening, Gu Yun had already walked up to him, picked up the Ganoderma lucidum right in front of him, and then openly put it into the small box before finally putting it into his own pocket.
Zhou Mu was so skilled at these movements that he began to doubt whose Ganoderma lucidum it really was.
When Du San and Wang Wu saw Gu Yun arrive, they also changed their expressions. Wang Wu, in particular, immediately stood beside Gu Yun, bowed, and had a fawning smile on his face.
He could be as obsequious as he wanted.
It's almost as if it's etched into their bones, perfectly natural.
"Young Master, this Ganoderma lucidum looks quite good, at least a hundred years old. You should cherish it. If you refine it properly, your cultivation level can be raised by at least one level."
Wang Wu was indeed a man of great experience; he recognized the effects of Ganoderma lucidum at a glance.
After all, there are quite a few people these days who use fake Ganoderma lucidum to impersonate real Ganoderma lucidum, and the average person can't easily tell the difference.
What Wang Wu didn't expect was that he would find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, which is almost extinct in the market, here. He could guess that it was pretty close to the truth.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yun's eyes lit up.
He naturally knew it was a good thing.
But when he heard Wang Wu say that, he immediately became excited.
"So, does this mean there's hope for breaking through to the Immortal Realm?"
Beyond the Dao Palace Realm lies the realm of immortals and mortals.
Although there is only one difference in realm, there is a vast gap between them.
It is no exaggeration to say that out of ten Dao Palace Realm cultivators, only one can advance to the Immortal Realm.
Because this realm is a transformative experience.
The Dao Palace belongs to the five realms of the mortal world, while above that are the realms of immortals and mortals, transcending the mortal realm.
The five realms of immortals and mortals are the three realms of the supreme sages.
Sages are the true masters of this world.
Wang Wu seemed to realize he had made a boastful promise and became somewhat hesitant.
After all, he had personally experienced the difficulty of breaking through the Immortal-Mortal Realm.
Even with a constant supply of pills, he still narrowly escaped death several times. In the end, Heaven took pity on him and spared his life.
Just as he was about to refuse, he saw that Du San, with whom he had always been at odds, already had a mocking expression on his face.
It seemed like they were mocking him.
His expression froze for a moment, then he immediately patted his chest and said, "Young Master, please rest assured, as long as I personally refine the Ganoderma lucidum, breaking through will not be a problem."
Gu Yun smiled with satisfaction and said, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. As long as you can break through, you can choose any spiritual weapon from the sect's treasury."
He paused, then added, "No upper limit."
With just a few words, Wang Wu's enthusiasm was aroused.
