Under the moonlight, the Teepees looked as if they were covered with a silver veil.
*Chirp chirp…*
*Howl howl…*
Occasional animal calls echoed through the primitive forest, which does not disturb the inherent tranquillity of the night.
*Crackle crackle…*
The fire in the earth kiln of the Flame Dragon Tribe was burning vigorously, its orange glow illuminating the otherwise dark Tribe.
Su Bai was eating dinner in his Teepee, already feeling excited about the ceramics that would be fired tomorrow. Every step from selecting the clay to moulding and glazing had been done with utmost care. So, if there were any issues with the fired ceramics, it would be quite perplexing.
“Shaman, the fire outside is still burning. There shouldn’t be any problems, right?” Yu Ying asked worriedly.
Even in the Main Teepee, they could hear the crackling of the flames outside, and the fox eared girl was still a bit concerned.
“It’s fine, there will be no major issue. Just have someone keep an eye on it.” Su Bai put down his wooden bowl.
“Okay…” The worry on Yu Ying’s face dissipated.
Su Bai got up and returned to the wooden table, taking out materials to continue making Shaman Bone Tablets.
Besides making Shaman Bone Tablets, he also needed to prepare the next lesson for the children. Counting the days, the young ones should have reflected and digested what was previously taught. Now, it was time to learn something different.
As Su Bai watched the fox eared girl take the bowls and chopsticks out to wash, he summoned the Attribute Panel in his mind.
| [Attribute Panel]
Host: Su Bai Stamina: 3.8 (Ordinary person 1) Strength: 3.7 (Ordinary person 1) Speed: 3.4 (Ordinary person 1) Mental Energy: 14.1 (Ordinary person 1) Shaman Power: 50 (50/100) Totem: Flame Dragon Profession: Junior Shaman, Author Skills: Curing Technique LV.1 (92/100), Space (1 cubic metre) Description: You have escaped the sub-healthy state of an ordinary person and become a Shaman with extraordinary power. Please remember your original aspiration. |
[The Curing Technique is almost ready to level up.] Su Bai commented after looking at the Attribute Panel. He was quite eager to see what changes would occur when a skill got upgraded to Level 2. After all, the current Level 1 Curing Technique was still a bit weak.
Like in Mai Mang’s case last time, it took three uses of the Curing Technique to cure his wound. Su Bai wondered if at Level 2, it would be able to heal up such a wound in one go. However, these were just his thoughts. The true effects would only be known when it reached Level 2.
[I’ll experiment with it in a couple of days.] Su Bai dismissed the Attribute Panel.
“Shaman, do you want to take a bath first? The hot water is ready.” Yu Ying brought in the washed wooden bowls and chopsticks.
Su Bai smiled, setting aside his thoughts and softly said, “En, help me get my linen clothes.”
…
*Coo coo…*
“Chirp chirp…*
In the morning, as the bird calls grew louder, the Flame Dragon Tribe welcomed a new day.
Su Bai slowly opened his black eyes and, noticing that the fox eared girl was not in the Teepee, he called out in his mind, [System, check in and open the Assistance Package.]
<Ding! Congratulations Host, check in successful!>
<Ding! Congratulations, Host has received Low Grade Assistance: one pack of 200 tissues.>
Su Bai suddenly sat up straight, weighing the pack of tissues in his hand, celebrating in his mind, [Tissues!? Finally!]
He had been hoping to get a pack or half a pack of tissues every day. After all, it was very inconvenient without tissues when eating or using the toilet.
Wiping the mouth after eating was manageable, he could use linen cloth, and then wash it to reuse it. However, using the toilet had been quite troublesome for Su Bai. Using a wooden stick or dry grass every day was quite uncomfortable. So, right now, this pack of tissues was truly a luxury item in the Tribe. They would need to use them sparingly. At least, before they could make their own tissues!
“Shaman, you’re up?” Yu Ying lifted the Teepee’s door flap and walked in.
“Yeah. Let’s have breakfast. After that, we’ll go see how the ceramics turned out.” Su Bai said after getting up.
Yu Ying put down the wooden bucket in her hand and said. “Shaman, I just came back from watering the field, and I saw the earth kiln is still smoking.”
“Good, then let’s quickly eat.” Su Bai’s face was full of anticipation.
Su Bai and Yu Ying quickly finished their breakfast and left the Teepee, heading towards the earth kiln.
With his hands behind his back, Su Bai arrived in front of the earth kiln that was still emitting wisps of black smoke. Even before getting close, he could feel the heat. Due to the scorching Sun of this season, combined with the heat from the earth kiln, he started sweating in no time.
Yu Ying wiped the sweat from her forehead and handed Su Bai a square piece of linen cloth, softly saying, “Shaman, wipe your sweat.”
Su Bai took the linen cloth and wiped his sweat, then instructed, “Have someone take out the ceramics. It’s time.”
“Yes.” Ru eagerly responded. He had barely slept the entire night, keeping watch over the earth kiln with the others. All night he had been anxious and excited, just hoping to see the finished ceramics soon. So, despite having barely closed his eyes to sleep last night, he now looked very energetic.
About ten minutes later, the stone door of the earth kiln was opened, and the ceramics were taken out one by one.
Su Bai quickened his pace and went over, squatting down to examine the freshly removed ceramics.
The corners of his mouth instantly curved into a perfect arc of happiness as he said. “We succeeded.”
Although the fired ceramics could not be called snow-white and flawless, they were free from any cracks and there was no peeling.
For the first attempt at making ceramics, it could be said to be excellent. The overall colour of the ceramic bowls and jars was a pale yellow. Furthermore, although pale yellow, the colour was evenly distributed, and the ceramics themselves were undamaged.
Ru was very excited, crowding on the other side to look at the fired ceramics, momentarily too excited to speak.
Yu Ying was the same. Her pink eyes fixed on those pale yellow ceramics. Her soft and cute face was full of amazement.
“Shaman, did we really succeed?” Ru was so surprised he could hardly believe it, constantly patting his head as if to make sure he was not dreaming.
Su Bai picked up a ceramic bowl, smiling, “We succeeded. It’s a great success.”
The appearance of the ceramics was not as delicate and refined as those made on Earth, but their size, colour, and quality were quite good.
Moreover, in this primitive era, these ceramics were top-tier luxury items.
“That’s great, Shaman… Shaman’s hard work… hasn’t… hasn’t been in vain.” Ru was so excited he started to stutter.
“Your efforts contributed to this too. From now on, the production of ceramics will be entrusted to you. You must be careful and always take this task seriously. There cannot be any slackening in its production.” Su Bai solemnly instructed.
“Rest assured, Shaman, I will be very careful,” Ru nodded repeatedly, excitement evident on his face.
