After dealing with the matters of those two hundred plus people, Su Bai hastily ate some dried meat and began to research the other type of Shaman Bone Tablet.
He spread open the Animal Hide Scroll and carefully reviewed the text on it, realising he only had the Divination Shaman Bone Tablet left to make.
To make the Tribe grow stronger, hunt more prey, and not be bullied when exchanging for linen at the market, he needed to quickly make the other types of Shaman Bone Tablets.
When Su Bai previously looked at the Collapsing Vertigo Technique, he found that it would take about three days to learn, so every night when everyone was asleep, he would study the Collapsing Vertigo Technique.
He spread the Animal Hide scroll on the table, using stones to hold down two edges, and began to ponder.
There were two Ferocious Beast Drawings on the Animal Hide scroll, one was a Ferocious Beast that looked like a Fish with a giant mouth and one eye. The other one looked like a wild Horse with oversized ears.
Besides the two Ferocious Beast Drawings, there was also a plant. Apart from these, there were some texts recording the formula for materials, methods of acquisition, and so on.
It was not much different from the style of the previous Healing Shaman Bone Tablet, the only difference being the materials.
Su Bai had memorised all these materials in his mind before setting out for the Spotted Deer Market. At that time, besides exchanging linen for dried meat, the other goal was to exchange for materials to make Shaman Bone Tablets.
*Gulp…* Su Bai took a sip of water, rubbed his hands, and thought to himself, [I wonder if this Shaman Bone Tablet sculpting will go smoothly?]
He recalled that when making the Shaman Bone Tablet last time. It consumed quite a bit of his Shaman Power, and that was only for the Healing Shaman Bone Tablet. This time, it was for a Divination Shaman Bone Tablet. The two were different, so the consumption of Shaman Power would certainly be different too.
Like last time, Su Bai took out the Beast Fur Brush, the bowl made from Ferocious Beast Skull, as well as the pestle, Red Tooth Knife, and so on. The overall materials needed were similar to last time.
He first washed the Beast Bone with Shaman Power, then took out a thin piece of charcoal and drew the Shaman Runes for the Collapsing Vertigo Technique on the Beast Bone, which was an eye.
“This is quite hard, unlike last time,” Su Bai muttered to himself.
This time, the Shaman Rune was an eye.
After more than half an hour, he finished drawing on one piece of Beast Bone, at the same speed as when he first drew the Healing Shaman Bone Tablet.
*Fuuuuu…* Su Bai blew away the charcoal dust from the Beast Bone, squinting as he examined his masterpiece. He spoke with some dissatisfaction, “It’s all crooked. What’s made from this will definitely not be effective.”
With that, he wiped off the sketch on the Beast Bone with animal skin and picked up the charcoal to continue drawing the outlines.
Twenty minutes later, Su Bai completed the drawing again. This time, he drew faster than the first time, and what was drawn was decent.
He picked up the Red Tooth Knife. Frowning, he began to carefully carve on the Beast Bone step by step. Each step was carved with additional care, and as his hand moved and the knife fell, bone shavings fell off, bit by bit, onto the table.
Half an hour later, Su Bai looked at the Beast Bone in his hand and bitterly smiled, “Making one Bone Tablet is really not easy.”
Su Bai took a sip of water and saw the fox eared girl quietly sewing linen clothes in the corner of the Teepee, while the horned girl had gone back after finishing dinner.
He refocused his attention on the Beast Bone in his hand. He dusted off the debris on the table, and looked at the scroll again.
Su Bai squinted and looked for a good while. Although he had memorised it, to be absolutely sure, he still looked again. He muttered to himself, “Twelve drops of blood from a Single Eyed Gaping Fish, four strands of hair from a Large Ear Mustang, and a section of Vein Grass’s stem.”
Following the records on the Animal Hide, he rummaged through the bag he brought back from the Spotted Deer Market and quickly found these few items.
Several things were placed on the table. The Beast Bone Bottle contained the blood of the Single Eyed Gaping Fish, which was left by the Old Shaman. The other two items were exchanged from the Spotted Deer Market.
“Excellent. Everything had been prepared. Time to start mixing,” Su Bai shook his wrists.
“One section of Vein Grass’s stem,” Su Bai talked to himself as he picked up the Vein Grass and plucked out a section of its stem, placing it in the bowl-like Ferocious Beast Skull.
The appearance of Vein Grass was just like Human blood vessels, a long, red stem with distinct nodes, so it was easy to denote what a section was.
He then found the hair of the Large Ear Mustang. He counted out four strands and also put them in the Ferocious Beast Skull.
However, he was curious whether this formula was really that strict. After all, the hair of Ferocious Beasts varied in length. What if the three strands were all of different lengths? What should be done then?
He shook his head, not delving too deeply into it, and pulled out the bone stopper to start dripping the Ferocious Beast Blood into the bowl.
“One drop, two drops, three drops…” Su Bai put the bone stopper back and looked at the materials in the bowl, sighing in relief and muttering, “Finally finished mixing.”
The subsequent changes were the same as last time. All the materials began to mix together, but this time, the colour was blood red, looking particularly eerie.
Although it was not Su Bai’s first time seeing this, he was still taken aback. He marvelled inside, [This is really like doing a chemistry experiment. Each mixture brings a different surprise.]
He dipped the Beast Fur Brush into the Ferocious Beast Skull. This time it was different. The emitted light was no longer a faint crystalline green, but a dark blue with a hint of black. This colour spread to the Beast Fur Brush.
Su Bai could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, murmuring softly, “It seems like the colours emitted by different Shaman Techniques are different.”
“It’s not my first time making a Shaman Bone Tablet. So, I shouldn’t be making any mistakes.” He lifted the brush and began to trace the outline drawn on the Beast Bone. With his previous experience, he was no longer nervous. He managed to complete it smoothly in one stroke.
“Perfect!” Su Bai nodded with satisfaction, put down the Beast Fur Brush and stared at the Bone Tablet in his hand.
The eye Shaman Rune on the Beast Bone was still emitting a dark blue colour with a hint of black, similar to last time, with a slight warmth to it.
