Unaware of the fact that Mui had already managed to break through to the Sixth Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm only a few weeks since he had left her to train by herself, Xuan Hao had managed to pick up the third fragment of the scroll of trials and was currently making his way towards the location of the final fragment.
On the way, he already started to seriously consider how to deal with the immortal mushroom when he ended up facing it later.
After all, he was still around three or so hours away from reaching it, while the immortal mushrooms he had encountered so far should be less than two hours away from reaching a realm comparable to the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm. Meaning that it looked like he wouldn't be able to avoid a fight with the immortal mushroom guarding the final fragment of the scroll of trials.
mushroom stem tentacles! :O
