Red Umbrella Jade Mushroom.
Shi Hao compared it and sure enough, the mushroom opened like an umbrella, its stem was like jade, nearly transparent, and its cap was as red and bright as fire.
This mushroom was indeed poisonous, but its toxicity could be removed, and once detoxified, it became a top delicacy.
It did have a certain effect on enhancing cultivation, but it was very weak. It had some help for Soul Nurturing, but it was negligible for the Other Shore.
Shi Hao didn’t care, he picked the Red Umbrella Jade Mushroom, planning to make a delicious mushroom soup that evening.
He then searched for another light spot. This time, he didn’t need to climb trees or dig. It was just an ordinary Spiritual Medicine growing on the ground, useful for those in the Physical Refinement Realm, but it had no effect on him.
He picked it anyway, since he had a Spatial Spirit Tool.
Shi Hao continued on, occasionally checking with the Spirit Exploration Compass.
He already had experience; the level of Spiritual Objects was distinguished by the strength of the light spots.
Indeed, the principle of exploration was special aura fluctuations. The stronger the aura, the brighter it appeared, and usually, a strong aura indicated the significance of the Spiritual Objects.
In that case, Shi Hao ignored the dimmer light spots.
“Don’t be too blind,” Su Manman warned. “Ordinary Spiritual Objects can indeed be explored like this, but if it’s a spirit-transformed plant, it can completely conceal its own aura and disguise itself as an ordinary Spiritual Medicine. Some treasures also dim themselves, appearing very ordinary.”
Oh, it can be like this?
Unable to do otherwise, Shi Hao had to investigate every light spot he came across.
In this forest, there were plenty of Spiritual Medicines, mostly of one star, which kept Shi Hao very busy, inspecting each one. What if he really encountered a Ganoderma Spirit? Would he not miss the chance?
Thus, Shi Hao was busy the entire day and almost filled up his Black Spirit Ring.
The harvest could be said to be very surprising, enough to make any Herb Collector die of envy. However, Shi Hao was quite speechless because most of the Spiritual Medicines were of one-star level and were of no help in enhancing his cultivation.
That night, Shi Hao started making the mushroom soup.
He was extremely interested in gourmet food. Apart from practicing, it was his biggest pleasure.
In Yuan Chengmie’s memory, he also found many recipes and cooking techniques. His cooking skills were very impressive. Combined with high-quality ingredients, it made Su Manman’s appetite surge, and she drank three bowls of soup, her belly puffing up.
“I can’t, if I eat anymore my stomach will burst,” Su Manman said while patting her belly, still trying to sip more.
The big yellow dog was also licking happily, then suddenly stopped and began to question its life as a dog.
Hey, I’m a dog, right?
Why do I like to drink soup, and it’s even vegetarian soup?
At night, they set up two tents, one for Shi Hao and one for Su Manman, while the big yellow dog lay outside. Shi Hao left it outside to keep watch.
—As a dog, if it couldn’t even keep watch well, it might as well be slaughtered for a chewing feast.
Fortunately, nothing happened that night.
Early the next morning, Shi Hao was the first to wake up. He held a Spirit Stone and directly extracted the energy from it using the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.
This method of absorption was even more efficient than any Formation, because Formations still needed a process to convert the energy of the Spirit Stone, but the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture did not need that, achieving it in one step.
After he prepared breakfast, Su Manman lazily emerged from her tent.
“Don’t you ever practice?” Shi Hao asked.
“What’s fun about practicing?” Su Manman countered. “Don’t you think it’s a waste to spend your limited life like this?”
Shi Hao couldn’t help but shake his head. This woman had an incredibly profound background. Even the Imperial Fire Pills she casually used had the effect of enhancing cultivation. If she were willing to practice, even a pig could be nurtured into something talented!
Very capricious indeed.
After breakfast, they continued their search.
Sanhe Forest was too vast. To comb through it completely would take months, and besides, Ganoderma Spirits were not fixed in one spot; once they became spirits, they grew legs and could wander anywhere.
Thus, finding one was very challenging.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Hao felt he might have a chance. Otherwise, how could he compete against powerhouses like Other Shore and Self-Observation?
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. While they hadn’t found the Ganoderma Spirit, Shi Hao had reached the limit of the sixth step.
He began to challenge the seventh step. The restraining power of the six Golden Threads couldn’t stop him. With just a bit of time, he easily succeeded.
Inside his Soul Sea, the Soul Seed Puppet had turned a pale purple.
He was very close to the ninth step now.
Shi Hao believed that with the help of the Spirit Exploration Compass, he was very likely to find enough Spiritual Medicine in this forest to propel himself to the ninth step.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but feel motivated.
Continue, continue.
His mindset had also changed; initially, he was here for the Ganoderma Spirit, but now he felt more indifferent. If he could find it, that would be great, but if not, just advancing to the ninth step would make the trip worthwhile.
Su Manman was feeling even better; she was just here for fun. With the Imperial Fire Pill, she wasn’t afraid of any negative effects and dared to go anywhere.
However, three days later, they encountered a ferocious beast of the Other Shore level and hastily fled in a very flustered and clumsy manner.
“Huh?”
After finally shaking off the ferocious beast, Shi Hao subconsciously took out his Spirit Exploration Compass and was surprised to find that there was a blinking light on it, indicating a high-grade Spiritual Object nearby.
He hurriedly followed the map and quickly located the source of the light.
—Su Manman, meanwhile, stayed put, as the chase had left her quite exhausted.

The Spiritual Object was on the ground, visible at first glance.
But it was not a Spiritual Medicine; it was a blood-stained antler.
The blood had not yet coagulated, but it did not give off a stench. Instead, there was a faint scent of medicine, while the antler itself was pitch black and hard as fine iron.
“This is… Black Iron Deer Antler!”
Shi Hao immediately found the relevant information. This was a ferocious beast of the Other Shore level, fond of eating Spiritual Medicine, which explained the medicinal scent in its blood.
This kind of ferocious beast could be used as a Spiritual Medicine equivalent, with tremendous nourishing effects.
“Judging by the markings on the broken antler, this must have been from two Black Iron Deer fighting over territory or mates, with one even having its antler broken off.”
“Hehe, lucky me.”
Black Iron Deer Antlers could be used in medicine, but their effect was somewhat awkward.
Because they cannot enhance cultivation, but most men would like them.
Nourishing Yang.
“Put down what you have in your hands.” Just then, a voice came from off to the side, completely commanding in tone.
Rustle rustle rustle, the leaves shook, and a man in his late twenties wearing white clothes stepped out.
But in this place, unless constantly protected by forceful energy, it was very easy to stain clothes. Such expenditure in a ferocious beast dense primeval forest was obviously foolish.
Therefore, his white clothes were covered with stains.
