Chapter 73： The Secret of the Spirit Mushroom

"Why don't you take the Divine Spirit Mushroom and ask the old witch first."

Although the vigorous mushroom has been proven to be a good thing, Jiang Xuan still feels uneasy and does not want Chishao to try the divine mushroom directly.

"Alright, let's ask."

Chishao nodded, facing the unfamiliar mushrooms, how to be careful.

The two brought three divine mushrooms to the bamboo house where the old witch lived, and told him what happened.

"Divine Mushroom?"

The old witch opened the small animal skin bag and looked at the three red mushrooms inside, feeling very strange.

"I have never seen or heard of this thing in Donghuang."

"However, since the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe said that the Spirit Mushroom can make Wu see the Patronus, it must have some magical effect."

"I'll try it first to see if it's poisonous."

The old witch took out the exquisite gem-level small stone knife and cut a small piece the size of half a fingernail from one of the divine mushrooms.

Afterwards, he put the Divine Spirit Mushroom in his mouth, but did not swallow it.

Jiang Xuan looked at the fierce operation of the old witch, his eyelids jumped involuntarily.

If this mushroom were a highly poisonous thing, if the old witch tried it like this, it wouldn't be poisoned to death, right?

But looking at the old witch's appearance, he is very calm, or in other words, he has no fear at this age.

After a long time, the old witch said to Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao: "This kind of divine mushroom cannot make the witch power grow or become active."

After Chi Shao heard this sentence, she felt a little disappointed.

She also thought that Vigorous Mushrooms could increase the strength of warriors, and this kind of divine mushrooms specially given to witches could increase the witch's power in the body of witches.

"However, it can make people's spirits high, and I now feel a lot more thoughts in my mind than usual."

"In addition, this kind of divine mushroom is not highly poisonous. It should be fine to eat one, but what effect does it have on the witch, you need to eat a little more to determine."

The old witch said calmly: "If you don't mind, I can eat one and try it for you."

According to the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe, this kind of divine mushroom is very precious, otherwise it would not only give three.

Because of this, the old witch did not eat it directly, but first asked Chi Shao and Jiang Xuan for their opinions.

After all, I don't know if I can get this thing again in the future, eat one less and one less.

Jiang Xuan thought for a while and said, "Yes, but it's best to eat it cooked, even if it is poisonous, it can reduce the toxicity a little bit when cooked."

The old witch smiled and said, "You are right, cooking can indeed reduce toxicity."

The fire in the fire pond kept burning day and night. The old witch had two clay pots here, which Jiang Xuan gave him to cook.

The old witch cut a divine mushroom into slices, threw it into a clay pot for making soup, added some water, and put it in the fire pit to burn.

"Goooooooooooo..."

As the pot was heated continuously, the water in it slowly boiled, and the divine mushroom gradually changed from red to light blue in the hot water.

At the same time, a strong fragrance of mushrooms filled the air, making the three people in the bamboo house feel their appetites widened.

Ten minutes later, the old witch felt that the divine mushroom was already cooked, so he found a pottery bowl and used chopsticks to take the divine mushroom out of the pot.

Chopsticks are one of the utensils that the old witch has learned to use after he came to the Vine tribe.

The old witch only had a few teeth, but the divine mushroom was very tender, and after cutting it into pieces, he could easily swallow it.

After he had eaten all the divine mushrooms, he put down the bowls and chopsticks, quietly sat cross-legged on a piece of animal skin, closed his eyes, and felt the effect of the divine mushrooms.

Gradually, Jiang Xuan found that the old witch's eyelids trembled, and then his body trembled.

His expression changed from calm to consternation, and then to surprise, panic, anger, and so on.

He also stretched out his hand forward, mumbled something in his mouth, and even burst into tears.

"This... could it be poisoning? Shall we save him?"

Jiang Xuan was taken aback when he saw the strange behaviors that the old witch showed, and was afraid that the old witch would suddenly be poisoned to death.

Chishao stepped forward, observed the state of the old witch, and said, "There is no bleeding, no foaming at the mouth, and breathing is relatively normal. It should be fine. Don't touch him yet."

Chi Shao had been learning witch doctor from the old witch for a while. Since she said it was fine, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Jiang Xuan could only wait anxiously for the old witch to wake up.

After about an hour, the old witch gradually calmed down.

After another half an hour, the old witch slowly opened his eyes and wiped away the tears that had not dried up from the corners of his eyes.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly asked: "Old man, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

The old witch shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I just saw the former Eagle Tribe, the Eagle God, and many old people. I just got a little emotional."

"Besides, I also saw a magical world. There are many animals and plants flying around in the sky."

The old witch looked at the other two intact divine mushrooms and said, "I think I know why this thing is welcomed by the witch."

"Why?" Jiang Xuan looked at the old witch curiously.

The old witch said slowly: "Because of many tribes, the original patron saint has disappeared, and many witches cannot communicate with God because of this, but they are eager to see God and listen to God's will."

"After eating this kind of divine mushroom, it can let them 'see' God, see a magical world, and let them see some people and things they miss, and make them believe that God has not disappeared, but is only in the another place."

"This is a great encouragement for a witch who has served God all his life."

"Even me, I can't tell whether that magical world is real, or a fictional hallucination of a divine mushroom."

The old witch's mood suddenly became a little depressed: "I hope that world is real. In this case, after my death, my soul may be able to reach that world."

After listening to the old witch, Jiang Xuan finally figured out what this so-called "spirit mushroom" was.

This should be a poisonous mushroom.

After eating this mushroom, people will have hallucinations, see a strange world, and see some people and things in the past.

But Jiang Xuan is not 100% sure, because the world cannot be explained by common sense.

For example, the psychic vine on the stone mountain cannot be explained by common sense.

So Jiang Xuan didn't dare to say that after eating the divine mushroom, the world he saw must be fake, and he could only say that there is a high probability that it was an illusion.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xuan lost interest in the so-called precious divine mushroom.

This thing can only bring a wonderful spiritual experience to people, and it cannot bring substantial help like Dali Mushroom.

However, since the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe said that this kind of thing is very popular with other tribes, then it is possible to save it. If there is a chance, it is also good to exchange some materials with other tribes.

Jiang Xuan thanked the old witch, and then left with Chi Shao with the remaining two divine mushrooms.

Sitting in the empty bamboo house, the old witch couldn't calm down for a long time when he thought about the things he saw when he ate the divine mushroom before...

After returning to the place of residence, Jiang Xuan and Chi Shao discussed it, and then decided to dry the two divine mushrooms for long-term preservation.

As for when it can be used, or whether it can be used, it is not very important. After all, this thing was originally given by the Mountain Turtle Tribe, and the Vine Tribe did not contribute much.
