Arcain Pasteur, male, half-elf, is nineteen years old, the fourth generation descendant of the Pasteur school of alchemy.

According to legend, it was his ancestors who fermented and made the first piece of cheese in human history, and it can be verified that the origin of the Pasteur school was his great-grandfather Krahoth Pasteur.

Krahoth Pasteur believed that there was a great spirit that ran through the world that controlled the decomposition activities of various tiny organisms and maintained the operation of the world. He called it "eternal ash". Through his thinking about "eternal ash", he developed a unique alchemy technique and applied it in aspects related to fermentation and medical care, becoming a respectable alchemist.

However, as an important branch of the ancient forest druids, the Pasteur family has always inherited the druid profession. For the druids who advocate "respect, fear, and obey nature", the alchemist who distorts nature with the power of magic is simply a heresy that should be killed. The Pasteur family, who betrayed the druid's noble belief, was severely criticized by the "Beast Judge" Bady Brista, the great druid, and had to move frequently to avoid his pursuit.

Not long ago, Akane's father Tevera Pasteur had an accident during the experiment. Not only was he seriously injured, but the "rotten sea" of spore forests that had been used to hide for a long time was also destroyed and his whereabouts were exposed. Faced with the beast judge who came, Tevera had no choice but to surrender, and was sentenced to freeze and freeze into the ancient glacier. Unless his descendants make great contributions to the forest, or if the forest encounters a huge crisis, they need his strength, otherwise they will be frozen in it forever and cannot be freed.

Tevera knew that he was the target of the Great Druid's tracking. He could not escape, so before being arrested, his son Akane was arranged to escape early and go to join his friend Master Trean, whom he met when he was young. Who knew that Master Trean had passed away long ago? If Master had not mentioned the Pasteur family before his death, he had told Wendy to have the opportunity to help Yishen, he would have died in a confused manner in the sea of ​​flowers outside the magic tower that seemed beautiful but was actually full of dangers.

"This man is very talented." Wendy emphasized to Sui Xiong, "very talented, the alchemy passed down by his family has unique mysteries, which are completely different from the orthodox alchemy I understand. I think for you, he will definitely be a right-hand man."

Sui Xiong curiously met Akane. Although this half-elf is nearly twenty years old, she looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, very young and quite short. Standing with the Slime girl, she is not much taller than her. There is no way to do so. As a mixed-race child, this kind of "developmental delay" often appears in the half-elf. Even if his mind is similar to that of an adult, his appearance is like a child. According to Wendy's estimate, it will take at least fifty years before he can grow into an adult.

Although his father was arrested and executed, Akane did not hate the Beast Judge. He was still young and simple. He wanted to make great achievements as soon as possible and persuade the Great Druid to recognize the Pasteur school so that his father could be released.

"My Majesty of the Great Void, I beg you to take me in. I will serve you with my alchemy. I believe it will be helpful to you." Akain said politely, "Of course, if you need it, I can fight for you as a druid. But fighting is not my specialty, and I am much weaker in this regard than those professional combat masters."

Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing. His church is so short of staff now. How can he be picky? Not to mention that Arcain is an alchemy master who can be praised by Wendy. It's too late to welcome such talents.

"Then Master Arcain, I want to ask, what kind of alchemy are you best at?" he asked with a smile, "Pharmaceutical enchantment or material conversion"

"All these can be done." A little confident appeared on Akain's tender face. "The Pasteur school has developed alchemy with them as the main tool through the research and use of microorganisms that can be called bacteria or fungi. The methods I use are different from those of ordinary alchemists. Basically, I can do everything others can do."

Sui Xiong was overjoyed and asked: "So can you develop drugs?"

"Of course," Akane answered confidently, adding, "but the Pasteur school technology is not compatible with the classic school technology of Master Trean. If I were asked to assist Miss Wendy, I would probably help you."

Sui Xiong was stunned and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He thought that with the help of Arcain, Wendy's speed of studying longevity potion would be greatly enhanced, and perhaps it would not take long to develop this potion. However, he did not expect that this would be the case.

He pondered: What should this alchemist who is good at using bacteria and fungi do to make it fully utilize it?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly felt inspired and asked, "You said you are good at researching and using fungi."

"So that's it."

"So, do you know mushrooms?" Sui Xiong asked with interest, "Mushrooms are also a kind of fungus."

Arcain nodded: "Yes, mushrooms are one of the most common fungi in our lives. They have six large branches, seventy-nine common subspecies, most of which are highly toxic. Only fourteen are truly non-toxic and can be eaten with confidence, namely "

"Stop, stop, stop," Sui Xiong hurriedly stopped his explanation and asked bluntly, "Do you know there are mushrooms that can grow in the Ashes Forest in the Northwest?"

Arcain was stunned, thought carefully for a long time, and said with some uncertainty: "There should be some such mushrooms in theory."

"What is theoretical?" Sui Xiong asked in confusion.

"Mushrooms are something that is very good at adapting to the environment. As far as I know, there are mushrooms growing in the Shadow World and the Necropolis. Although the Ashes Forest did not have a type of mushroom that I had in the past, those mushrooms that can grow well in the Shadow World and the Necropolis must also grow well in the Ashes Forest."

Sui Xiong laughed, this is really good news

"So. Do you have any collection of these mushrooms?"

"Of course, the Pasteur school has collected almost all known mushroom species in the world in the space passed down from generation to generation. Although the sea of ​​volatility used to cultivate new varieties is no longer there, the cultivation of new varieties is greatly hindered. But it doesn't take much time to find the right one from known varieties."

So Sui Xiong handed over this task to Akane and asked him to find mushrooms that could reproduce in the Ashes Forest as soon as possible.

Of course, such a work cannot be completed in the Trean Magic Tower, so Sui Xiong had to spend his energy to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation array and connect Akane to the Ashes Forest.

Unexpectedly, because he lived in the warm ancient forest all year round, Akane was completely unacceptable to the cold weather in the north. As soon as he arrived at the Ashes Forest, he was so cold that Akane was still very ill. Fortunately, even though Sui Xiong was weak, there was no problem in treating the disease, which avoided the tragic ending of this senior intellectual who died before he could even shine.

In order to allow Akane to live a good life and to provide him with a stable research environment, Sui Xiong talked with him in detail and helped him build a simple "magic tower".

This "magic tower" is actually a basement with a total of five floors. The building part on the ground is mainly used to pile up some unimportant debris. The first floor of the basement is the place where consumables are used, the second floor is the reception room, the third floor is the living room, and the fourth and fifth floors are the alchemy workshops that integrate research and cultivation.

Compared to the cold on the ground, the underground is obviously much warmer. After reaching the third floor of the underground, even the cold-fearing Arcain can live more comfortably, and even does not require additional warming measures.

As for the four or five floors underground, a powerful purification array is separated. The inside of the purification array is completely isolated from negative energy and is used to cultivate ordinary mushrooms. It is also used to ensure the safety of daily life. The fifth floor located outside the purification array is used to cultivate mushrooms that can grow in a strong negative energy environment and complete the work delivered by Sui Xiong.

Arcain's research efficiency was indeed good. About a week later, he found mushrooms that could grow normally in a strong negative energy environment in the Ashes Forest.

Unfortunately, this mushroom is like warmth and cold, just like almost all mushrooms in the world. If you want them to grow normally, you need a very warm environment.

"Warming is not a problem, it's nothing more than digging the basement or artificial heating, it's very simple." After receiving the notice, Sui Xiong immediately rushed to Akane's alchemy workshop. Looking at the black mushrooms growing vigorously in the negative energy environment on the fifth floor of the underground, he smiled with satisfaction.

After laughing, he asked again: "How does this mushroom taste?"

Arcain was stunned and asked in surprise after a while: "You want to eat it."

"Of course I have to eat it." Sui Xiong asked for his own sake, "Why don't you plant it for the sake of eating?"

Arcain was stunned: "Isn't it to make poison?"

"How fresh, it takes so much energy to create poison. I am so bored that I can do this."

Facing Sui Xiong, who seemed puzzled, seemed to be natural to eat mushrooms, and it was ridiculous to use mushrooms to make poison, Akane felt that his brain, which had always claimed to be smart, was not enough. It took him a while to sort out his thoughts before his mind became clear again.

"Your Majesty, why do you think that this kind of thing that grows up in a negative energy environment is practical?" His voice became louder involuntarily, "It is poisonous and very toxic."

Sui Xiong suddenly lost interest and waved his tentacles lazily: "If you can't eat it, what's the point of eating mushrooms I want."

"How can there be edible mushrooms growing in a negative energy environment in the world?" Arcain's face turned red, as if he was insulted. "Are you looking for happiness with me?"

Seeing that he was angry, Sui Xiong felt a little embarrassed, smiled embarrassedly, and explained to him.

"You want to find edible mushrooms that can reproduce in the ashes forest so that believers can farm." Akane blinked and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't understand Sui Xiong's strange ideas, "Mushroom Field"

"Yes, the mushroom field." Sui Xiong nodded repeatedly, "Who said that only rice and vegetables can be grown in the fields, so it is okay to grow mushrooms?"
