Element Mushroom
This is a sand dune two kilometers from the camp. →
After receiving the relevant mission from their senior brother Zorro, Saine and Lina came here to investigate and record the relevant information.
Having someone backing you up makes everything much easier.
Although Senior Brother Zorro is a low-key person, as a Quasi-Magician and especially as the main person in charge of setting up the Coordinate Generator, it is not a problem for him to arrange some easy and safe tasks for Saine and the others.
Fifteen days have passed since Saine arrived at the camp.
Gradually, Saine adapted to life in the camp.
Mage are, after all, human beings, and social creatures.
Saine is not at the level where he would bury himself in the laboratory for years or even longer.
With other apprentices around, Saine felt much better; at least he wouldn't be so lonely.
The Crystal Ball in my hand records relevant information.
After taking in the surrounding environment, Saine called out to Lina and quickly returned towards the camp.
This Yellow Sand World is not without danger.
The harsh environment and extreme natural disasters were enough to make these Black Wizard Apprentice suffer greatly.
Over the past fifteen days, Saine had the privilege of witnessing a massive sandstorm from a distance.
Although the center of the sandstorm was quite far from their camp, the overwhelming oppression and tearing sensation were enough to make anyone realize their own insignificance. →
Saine wasn't sure if a fully-fledged Black Magician could withstand such a terrifying storm, but he figured it wouldn't be easy.
Through his senior sisters Fei'er and Lina, Saine learned that two months before he arrived at the camp, the camp had experienced a relatively small sandstorm at close range.
Two Advanced Apprentice who were standing close by were swept away on the spot, their fate unknown.
Other apprentices were also injured; such a dangerous environment is not suitable for ordinary people.
His girlfriend, Lina, remained as cold and Keep Away From Strangers ever.
Aside from occasionally revealing a subtle change in her emotions in front of Saine, Lina is almost invisible most of the time.
After returning to the camp with Lina, Saine first went to submit the mission to his senior brother, and then arrived at a tent on the east side of the camp with Lina.
This tent was smaller than the one where Saine and the others lived, and only one apprentice lived in it.
"Advanced Apprentice Modi, I would like to learn the process of making Element Mushroom from you. This is the price I am willing to pay," Saine said to the apprentice sitting in the middle of the tent, who was holding a jar and mixing some kind of green liquid.
This is a Advanced Apprentice who looks rather old; it's unclear how old he is exactly. →
At the Black Wizard Academy, this Advanced Apprentice was not well-known.
But after arriving in the Yellow Sand World, this apprentice became one of the most important people that all the apprentices in the camp had to pay attention to.
He and several other apprentices who had mastered Plant Element magic shared the responsibility of supplying food to the camp.
Besides the Element Mushroom mentioned by Saine, the other party also possesses a cultivation technique called the Citron Breadfruit Tree.
However, the latter is said to be the opponent's most core magical knowledge, which is almost impossible to pass on to outsiders, so Saine set his sights on the Element Mushroom.
Different people have different opinions on food preparation.
Saine felt that this skill would be useful no matter where he went in the future, so he wanted to master it.
As for Senior Sister Fei'er and Senior Brother Zorro, they felt that mastering the cultivation methods of this magical plant was not very meaningful.
In fact, mastering the methods of making Nutrient Potion, coupled with the storage function of the Space Ring, is enough to solve the food problem in most situations.
The situation of being trapped in Yellow Sand World is a very rare exception.
Like Saine, there are quite a few Black Wizard Apprentice who, on a whim, try to master the craft of creating magical plants.
However, since the few apprentices who can provide food in the camp are mostly Advanced Apprentice, forced buying and selling has not yet occurred.
Saine had also observed and analyzed several other magical plants, but ultimately chose the Element Mushroom in Modi's hands because this magical plant did not require specific seeds to grow.
It only requires water, elemental energy, and some specific techniques to be cultivated, making it more convenient than other magical plants.
As Saine finished speaking, Saine pushed two Low-Level Magic Item in front of him.
Both of these Low-Level Magic Item are Plant Element- related equipment, and this Advanced Apprentice Modi, should be able to use them.
"Oh? It seems my unfortunate junior brother has perished here. I wonder if he was swallowed up by the yellow sand."
"Or..." Modi chuckled softly, his eyes fixed on Saine.
"When I found him, he was already a dried-up corpse," Saine said calmly.
Modi nodded, not pursuing the cause of his unfortunate junior's death any further.
After gathering the two low-level magical items, whose Element Power had dissipated and needed to be re-enchanted, in front of him, he immediately added, "Not enough!"
After a moment's hesitation, Saine took out a Magic Short Staff and about three hundred pieces of Black Gold.
The Magic Short Staff was obtained by Saine from the Intermediate Apprentice Mali, while the origins of the Black Gold were varied.
This time, after carefully examining this minor gem among the Intermediate Magic Item, the Advanced Apprentice Modi nodded in satisfaction.
He casually tossed the Black Gold on the table in front of him back under his body and said, "Not bad, now you can learn the craft of making Element Mushroom from me."
"Of course, if you're willing to pay a higher price, I can give you another set of cultivation tips for magical plants, hehehe..." Advanced Apprentice Modi chuckled hoarsely.
After leaving the Advanced Apprentice Modi, Saine and Lina headed towards their tent.
Half a month has passed, and the camp is now much more lively than when Saine first arrived.
Nearly twenty Intermediate Apprentice arrived at the camp one after another.
And during this time, new apprentices would arrive here from time to time.
Following the group of Intermediate Apprentice like Saine, it seems that the Formal Black Wizard have sent over other Intermediate Apprentice as well.
I wonder if the low-level apprentices and the few remaining Entry-Level Apprentice will be thrown over by those Black Magician.
I wonder how Fatty Baus and Merri are doing now.
"The process of making Element Mushroom isn't complicated. Would you like to try my cooking tonight?" Saine asked Lina beside him.
"Okay," Lina replied.
"Would you like to learn this too? I think the cultivation techniques for magical plants are quite useful," Saine asked, carefully choosing his words.
Lina's perspective on things is unlike that of Saine's senior brothers and sisters.
Faced with Saine's suggestion, Lina only hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying, "Okay."
