Chapter 71 Elemental Mushroom

　　They were at a sand dune two kilometers away from the campsite.

　　Sain and Lena came here to investigate and gather information for their mission, assigned by their big senior brother Zoro.

　　Luckily, someone was covering for them, making their task much easier.

　　Zoro, a low-key person, was a qualified magician and the main person in charge of setting up the portal generator.

　　He assigned them some safe and easy tasks, which was not a problem for Sain and Lena.

　　It had been fifteen days since Sain arrived at the campsite, and he was gradually adapting to the lifestyle there.

　　Magicians were ultimately humans and social animals.

　　Sain was not at the level of burying himself in the laboratory for years, like some of the other apprentices.

　　Having other apprentices around made Sain feel better, at least he wasn't as lonely.

　　Sain recorded the relevant information in his crystal ball and quickly signaled Lena to return to the campsite.

　　This yellow sand world was not without danger.

　　The harsh environment and extreme natural disasters were enough to make these dark magic apprentices suffer.

　　In the past fifteen days, Sain was fortunate enough to witness a huge sandstorm from a distance.

　　Although the center of the sandstorm was far from their campsite, the overwhelming and tearing sensation was enough to make anyone feel insignificant.

　　Sain was not sure if a formal Dark Magician could withstand such a terrifying storm, but he assumed it would not be easy.

　　Through Senior Sister Faye and Lena's mouths, Sain learned that two months before he arrived at the campsite, they had encountered a smaller sandstorm at close range.

　　Two advanced apprentices who were close by were swept away, and their fate was unknown.

　　Other apprentices were also injured.

　　This dangerous environment was not suitable for ordinary people.

　　Lena, his girlfriend, still had that cold and unapproachable appearance.

　　Apart from occasionally showing subtle emotional changes that were unique to her in front of Sain, Lena seemed like a transparent person most of the time.

　　After returning to the campsite with Lena, Sain first went to submit the task to the senior brother, then arrived at a tent on the east side of the campsite with Lena.

　　The tent was smaller than the one Sain and his team stayed in, and only one apprentice lived inside.

　　"Advanced apprentice Modi, I want to learn the process of making Elemental Mushrooms from you, and this is the price I am willing to pay."

　　After walking into the tent, Sain said to the apprentice sitting in the middle of the tent, holding a jar and mixing some green liquid.

　　This was an advanced apprentice who appeared to be somewhat old and it was unclear how old he actually was.

　　At the Dark Magic Academy, this advanced apprentice was not well-known.

　　However, after coming to the Yellow Sand World, this apprentice became one of the objects that all apprentices in the camp had to pay attention to.

　　Because he and several other apprentices who mastered plant-based magic jointly undertook the food supply in the camp.

　　In addition to the Elemental Mushrooms mentioned by Sain, the apprentice also mastered another planting technique called the Seven Citrus Breadfruit Tree.

　　But the latter was rumored to be his most core magical knowledge, which was almost impossible to be leaked, so Sain set his target on Elemental Mushrooms.

　　Different people have different views on the matter of making food.

　　Sain felt that this skill could be useful no matter where he went in the future, so he wanted to master it.

　　For Senior Sister Faye or Senior Brother Zoro, they thought that mastering the cultivation methods of these magical plants was not significant.

　　In fact, mastering the production of Nutrient Potion, coupled with the carrying capacity of the space ring, was sufficient to solve most food problems.

　　Like Sain, there were many Dark Magic Apprentices who suddenly had the idea of ​​learning a magical plant-making skill.

　　However, since the few apprentices who could provide food in the camp were mostly Advanced apprentices, there was no strong buying and selling for the time being.

　　Sain had also observed and analyzed several other types of magic plants, and ultimately chose the elemental mushroom in Modi's hands because this magic plant could be induced without specific seeds.

　　It only required water, elemental energy, and some specific techniques to induce growth, making it more convenient than other magic plants.

　　As Sain finished speaking, two low-level magic props were pushed towards Modi.

　　Both of these low-level magic props were related to plant-based equipment, and the Advanced apprentice Modi in front of them should be able to make use of them.

　　"Oh? It seems my unlucky Junior Apprentice has fallen here. I wonder if he was swallowed by the yellow sand or..."

　　Modi chuckled, his eyes fixed on Sain.

　　"When I found him, he was already a corpse," Sain said calmly.

　　Modi nodded, not pursuing the cause of his unlucky Junior Apprentice's death.

　　After collecting the two low-level magic props whose elemental power had dissipated and needed to be re-enchanted, Modi immediately added, "It's not enough!"

　　After a moment of contemplation, Sain took out a Magic short wand and about three hundred Black Gold pieces.

　　The Magic short wand was obtained by Sain from the Intermediate apprentice Mali, and the origins of those Black Gold pieces were diverse.

　　This time, the Advanced apprentice Modi carefully examined the little masterpiece in the Intermediate magic prop before nodding in satisfaction.

　　He then swept the Black Gold on the table back under his control and said, "Not bad, now you can get the recipe for making elemental mushrooms from me."

　　"Of course, if you're willing to pay a little more, I can also give you some cultivation tips for magic plants. Hehehe..."

　　the Advanced apprentice Modi chuckled hoarsely.

　　After leaving Advanced apprentice Modi, Sain and Lena walked towards their tent where they lived.

　　Half a month had passed since Sain arrived, and the camp was now much livelier than when he first got there.

　　Nearly twenty Intermediate apprentices had arrived at the camp.

　　And during this time, new apprentices arrived from time to time.

　　After Sain's batch of Intermediate apprentices, it seemed that the official Dark Magicians had sent over other Intermediate apprentices.

　　It was unclear whether the low-level and remaining Entry-level apprentices would be sent over by those Dark Magicians.

　　Also, Sain wondered how Bosch and Merry were doing.

　　"The process of making Elemental Mushrooms isn't complicated. Do you want to try my cooking tonight?" Sain asked Lena.

　　"Sure," Lena replied.

　　"Do you want to learn how to cultivate this magical plant? I think the cultivation technique could be useful," Sain suggested, adding a filler word.

　　Unlike Sain's Senior Brother and Senior Sister, Lena had a different perspective on things.

　　Upon hearing Sain's suggestion, Lena thought for a moment and nodded her head in agreement: "Okay."
