Chapter 100 – Do you want to be the Shaman? (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

It was not only that day. Every day after that, Shao Xuan would find a new roll of Shaman Volumes lying on the stone desk in the corner when he came to the medicine house.

The content varied from the basic picking and processing of medicinal plants, to how to lure and capture the animal-based medicine; from how to process the animals, to how to deal with the plants.

All of that was recorded on the animal skin rolls of the Shaman Volumes. Every time when Shao Xuan read them, he could see a series of real scenes reflected in his eyes.

Because the pictures on the new Shaman Volumes were all connected with each other instead of being individual like before, so when you read them together, you could see real scenes emerging out. Sometimes, Shao Xuan would even feel as if he himself moving, he could more or less sense its texture, the feel, the strength, etc…

The Shaman Volumes were all very precious. Obviously, the Shaman already knew that Shao Xuan could understand the content, since he brought out all those new ones for Shao Xuan to read.

The Shaman…well, you cannot keep any secrets from him.

And, the more and more Shaman Volumes on the stone desk made Shao Xuan have a clear understanding of the Shaman’s attitude.

One day, when Shao Xuan was reading a roll of the Shaman Volumes by the corner, he heard someone running towards the medicine house while shouting, “Gui Ze! The Shaman asked for you! The hunting team has returned!”

There was a smaller house by the medicine house, which the Shaman used to keep the wounded to treat them. Every time when a hunting team returned, they would directly deliver the injured warriors to that smaller house. It was close to the medicine house, so it would save a lot of time to deliver the herbs. The Shaman could just get the herbs from the medicine house when he needed anything.

Gui Ze did not hesitate. She stopped what she had been doing and went to the Shaman directly. As for Shao Xuan…he was not allowed to go inside the treatment room. Anyone who had not been allowed could not enter, in case of disturbing the treatment.

Shao Xuan felt a little sorry. He wanted to see how the Shaman treated the wounded warriors. But all he could do was to sit in the medicine house and wait, since he was prevented from entering the treatment room.

Gui Ze ran back to the medicine house soon after she left, and she grabbed a few packs of herbs to go. After half a minute, there she was again.

“The bitter shagen, the seven forks, the palpus fruit, the heart piercing stem…”

Gui Ze took out some herbs from the stone pots and wooden boxes as she was murmuring the names of the herbs.

Gui Ze did not need a scale to do the mixing. She could just grab a handful of the herbs, and there would be almost no difference in the dosages of several processed drugs. Shao Xuan had watched her do that for days.

Such skill could not be obtained within a short period. Perhaps, the Shaman had been training Gui Ze since her childhood.

All the residents in the tribe assumed that the herb packs were mixed by the Shaman himself. Now it seems that quite a lot of them must be made by Gui Ze.

“Need any help?” asked Shao Xuan.

Gui Ze wanted to refuse at first, but on second thought, she nodded. However, she did not ask Shao Xuan to directly process those herbs, Instead, she asked him to help her carry stuff.

“What’s going on? Lack of herb packs? Are there a lot of wounded warriors this time?” asked Shao Xuan.

“There are nine of them.” Answered Gui Ze.

Of course, only the badly wounded warriors would be sent back first. Nine severely injured warriors… Indeed, the number was unusual, but fortunately, no one was killed.

“There are not enough heart piercing stems. Help me get the box that contains the heart piercing stems.” Gui Ze said in a hurry.

“Alright.”

Shao Xuan had remembered where the different kinds of herbs were located. So, he did not need Gui Ze to tell him, but directly brought back a huge wooden box.

The heart piercing stem belonged to a type of plant from the grassland. It was only the width of a little finger, and had a thin outer layer. On its inside, there was a black thin thread. The layer couldn’t be used, and the inner thin black thread was toxic as well. When processing the heart piercing stem, one had to peel the outer layer and extract the inner thread as well.

Although in a hurry, Gui Ze was well coordinated with her moves.

However, she was still not fast enough.
