Douluo, my martial soul is a mushroom

Chapter 75: Journey to the North

Mycelium decomposes the corpses of plants, animals, and insects to obtain soul power. After acquiring the properties of the elements, it can transform natural elements to a certain extent to obtain soul power. Since it contains light elements, mycelium can carry out an alternative "photosynthesis" like plants, and assume part of the responsibilities of a "producer" on the basis of a "decomposer".

In other words, the mycelium accumulates soul power by accelerating the natural cycle, and then accelerates the accumulation through the cluster effect, ultimately providing Chi Ping with "infinite soul power".

The "infinite soul power" of the mycelium is not truly infinite, but the supply exceeds Chi Ping's consumption, so Chi Ping "can't use it up".

But for the tree of life, the soul power provided by the mycelium is not rejected. It is like a baby crying for food, and it can eat any amount.

……

One month after the Nine Tests of Life began, in the main hall of the Prince’s Mansion.

"Are you going?"

Sitting in the main seat, Xue Qinghe felt a tightness in his heart.

Chi Ping sat in the guest seat, nodded, and said: "The tree of life requires too much energy, and Tiandou City cannot meet its needs. Before it sprouts, I need to travel around the continent."

Mycelium accelerates the natural cycle as a decomposer to obtain soul power, but the amount of organic matter available for mycelium to accelerate the cycle in a place is limited, and there are other organisms that need it to survive. Excessive demands will disrupt the balance of nature.

This is not what Chi Ping wants.

Fortunately, the mycelium has now spread throughout the Tiandou Empire, so Chi Ping does not have to be limited to collecting soul power in one place.

Xue Qinghe took a shallow breath and smiled, "Then I wish you a safe journey?"

Chi Ping narrowed his eyes, "What's with that expression? It's not like I'll never come back to Tiandou City again."

Xue Qinghe put on a mean face and snorted, "Am I afraid that you won't come back? I'm afraid that my five level 5 soul guides will be wasted!"

He asked again, "When do we leave?"

"In a few days, I will complete the functions of the sandbox for you and leave. After that, I will write to you every month and send you the research results."

"Tell me before you go."

"of course."

……

Among the five provinces controlled by the Tiandou Empire, the northernmost one is the Northern Province. The north of the Northern Province is the Far North which is frozen all year round and dead silent with no one in it.

The Frozen Forest is a coniferous forest between the Northern Province and the Far North, and is seldom visited by humans.

Because it is backed by the Far North, it is also the second largest soul beast gathering place on the continent after the Star Dou Great Forest. However, due to the environment and the attributes of the soul beasts, it is basically the cold attribute soul masters who come here to obtain soul rings.

Outside the Frozen Forest there is a soul hunting town called Hanlin Town.

"call!"

He walked into a pub, exhaled a cloud of white mist, shook his body, and shook off snowflakes all over the ground.

It’s always snowing in Hanlin Town. Even though it’s April now, you’ll turn into a snowman if you walk outside for ten minutes.

The "snowman" pulled back the scarf from his face, revealing himself to be Chi Ping.

Chi Ping walked to a small table and sat down. He knocked on the table to attract the waiter's attention and shouted, "Waiter! A plate of white meat, a plate of grilled sausages, and a pot of hot water! Dipping sauce and spicy."

"Wait a minute, little brother. I'll be there soon!"

There were many guests in the pub, and everyone was drinking and chatting, making it very lively. But even so, the waiter's suona-like loud voice was very clear.

Soon, the waiter brought two plates of meat, a small dish of dipping sauce and a pot of hot water to Chi Ping's small table.

These meats are prepared in advance. When guests come, they are cut, steamed or boiled, and served in a few minutes.

"Enjoy your meal, little brother!"

Ikehira nodded, "Thank you."

Since the Far North is far from human habitation, Chi Ping did not disguise himself too much, but just covered the divine pattern on his forehead. Seeing Chi Ping's kindness, the young man asked, "Would you like to try our specialty Qinglin wine?"

Chi Ping's heart moved. How could he not drink when he came to the north?
And he is 20 years old this year, which is old enough to drink.

“What are the characteristics of this wine?”

The waiter introduced with a smile, "This Qinglin wine is a special wine developed by our store owner. It is made with pine balls from the frozen forest as the main material, supplemented with vanilla roots under the snow. It tastes cool and refreshing, has an endless aftertaste, and warms the body and strengthens the body.

There is one thing, this wine has a strong aftereffect, and only guests with a high alcohol tolerance can drink it. "

"Give me a small cup. Um...use the smallest cup."

"okay!"

After a while, the waiter brought the smallest glass filled with Qinglin wine to Chi Ping.

Chi Ping took a small sip and his cheeks turned red.

"It's a good wine, but it's also really strong!"

"Young man, are you from out of town?" A sturdy man who looked like an older brother sat down opposite Chi Ping as if he was familiar with the place.

Chi Ping nodded, "I came from the south."

The elder brother laughed and said, "I told you, there is no northerner who can't drink! What are you doing all the way to this far north?"

Chi Ping looked at the big brother and noticed several inquiring glances. He knew that the other party was here to question him.

"Go to the Frozen Forest to get the spirit ring."

Big Brother thought to himself, as expected.

——He can still run outside alone in this weather. After entering the door, he doesn’t seem to be shivering from the cold. He has a calm temperament and his strength is definitely not bad.

"Brother, I am also considered a local elder. How many soul rings have you obtained? Do you want me to find a team for you? The Frozen Forest is not an easy place to deal with. It will be easier to hunt souls with a local team."

Chi Ping shook his head and refused with a smile: "I am here to obtain the sixth spirit ring, but I am afraid that not many teams can help me."

The elder brother nodded and said in sudden realization, "I see. You are young and promising."

Chi Ping felt his gaze withdrawn, smiled slightly in his heart, and called the waiter to order a large glass of Qinglin wine and placed it in front of the elder brother. "I am a newcomer, so it is inevitable that I have ignored some rules. I wonder if you are willing to explain them to me?"

The big brother drank the Qinglin wine in one gulp and burped with satisfaction.

"Then I, Old Zhang, will tell you about it!"

From customs and human nature to the distribution of soul beasts, Big Brother knows everything.

Chi Ping nodded as he ate the meat, but it was unclear how much he had heard.

Half an hour later, Chi Ping paid the bill and left the tavern.

According to what Big Brother said, they quickly found a hotel, went in, paid the bill and booked a room.

"Xiao Ao and Rongrong passed away two months ago. What a pity..."

Chi Ping chose to go north, not only for geographical reasons, but also because he wanted to see Oscar and Ning Rongrong.

When he was in Tiandou City, Chi Ping could not take the initiative to contact his companions because he did not want to cause trouble for them. Now that he was far away from Wuhun City, he could see the situation of his companions with his own eyes.

With a sigh, Chi Ping took out a knife-shaped soul guide covered with mycelium.

This is the third level 6 soul guide he has analyzed, and he analyzes one every six months on average.

"Energy concentration... circulation... compression... this is another kind of inscription. I'll write it down first..."
