Alex couldn't wait to take all of the mushrooms that were there. There were hundreds of them scattered around the tree and even further around the forest which was giving him an incredible sense of happiness.
Now, even if he hadn't improved the ingredients itself, he could still make a pill that could most likely bring forth the pill clouds.
"I should be leaving quick, so I can't waste my time anymore," he thought and grabbed the closest mushroom to pick it. However, just as he grabbed it, the mushroom suddenly turned murky white in color and adopted patches of yellow and black all over it.
Alex stepped backward in surprise. "What the hell?" he thought. "Why did it suddenly change color?"
He understood that the mushroom could copy energy from other ingredients, but that should have been it right? Could it copy from a cultivator as well after coming into contact with them?
