After reading it through and having enough of an understanding, Su Bai concluded. [Divination Shaman Techniques are actually an application of Mental Energy.]
The Collapsing Vertigo Technique could make people fall into a state of unconsciousness. As for how long the effect could last, he would only know after learning it.
If the Old Shaman knew about this, he would surely come back to life to strangle Su Bai. Other Shamans needed at least thirty days to learn a Shaman Technique, but for Su Bai, it only took one to three days. Yet, he still had the audacity to think it was too slow.
Going to other Tribes to trade, especially trading linen, would surely attract the attention of others. It would provoke greed. If he did not prepare more means, he might be swallowed up by the other Tribes.
Su Bai did not want to be a fat sheep, waiting for his predator to eat him. He wanted to be the tiger pretending to be a pig. At the very least, have some power to intimidate others.
He carefully put away the three Animal Hide Scrolls of Shaman Techniques. They would now be ready to be passed onto the next Shaman in the future.
“The only one I know now is the Curing Technique. Let’s start by making Shaman Bone Tablets for it,” Su Bai picked out the Animal Hide Scroll recording how to make Shaman Bone Tablets.
He spread the Animal Hide Scroll on the stone table. It was twice as long as the one recording Shaman Techniques. It was filled with Shaman Scripture and some diagrams.
“There are even diagrams, what kind of Ferocious Beast is in this drawing?” Su Bai glanced over it roughly and found that the Animal Hide Scroll had simple drawings of a Ferocious Beast and two plants.
“The size of the engraved Shaman Runes determines the flow of Shaman Power.”
“If any material in the formula exceeds the proportions it will lead to a series of consequences such as Shaman Power not being able to be retained, or becoming stuck, or delayed activation of the Shaman Techniques, etc…”
“When injecting materials into the Shaman Runes, Shaman Power must be infused. The whole process must be completed in one go to successfully make a Shaman Bone Tablet.”
He pinched the bridge of his nose between his eyes to relieve his eye fatigue. When he put his hand down, he saw a cup of water on the corner of the stone table, not knowing when it had been placed there.
*Gulp…* Su Bai drank the water, his eyes looking towards the corner of the Teepee, where he saw Yu Ying combing Yan Hua’s hair.
He finished the water and put down the wooden cup. He turned his attention back to making Shaman Bone Tablets. He took out the three Shaman Bone Tablets left by the Old Shaman from the box.
Each Shaman Bone Tablet was as big as a palm. They were engraved with a complex Shaman Runes. Some looked like a leafless tree; some looked like an eye; some looked like a pair of bull horns.
Having just learned the three Shaman Techniques, Su Bai immediately recognized the representative Shaman Rune patterns of the three Techniques.
The Shaman Bone Tablet with the leafless tree Shaman Rune pattern engraved on it was the Curing Technique.
The Shaman Bone Tablet with the eye Shaman Rune pattern was engraved with the Collapsing Vertigo Technique.
The Shaman Bone Tablet with the bull horn Shaman Rune pattern was engraved with the Strength Enhancement Technique.
“These Shaman Bone Tablets are really big,” Su Bai played with the Shaman Bone Tablets. He imagined himself hanging a dozen Shaman Bone Tablets on his body. Surely no one would dare to provoke him if he did so.
“Let’s try making one,” Su Bai rummaged through the box and quickly found what he wanted, laying everything out on the stone table.
There were about ten items in total:
Seven smoothly polished animal bones, each about the size of a palm.
A small, smooth Red Tooth Knife made from the teeth of an unknown Ferocious Beast.
A brush made from the white hair of an unknown Ferocious Beast.
A small bowl made from the skull of an unknown Ferocious Beast, with a row of animal teeth inlaid around the edge.
Four scales from an unknown Ferocious Beast.
Eight dried unknown plants.
A very rough piece of tree bark.
The last item was Ferocious Beast Blood. It was in a bottle, made of animal bone. The stopper was also made of polished animal bone.
Looking at the items on the table, Su Bai felt like an evil wizard from Earth’s Middle Ages, as if he was about to perform an evil ritual.
He shook his head to clear away these random thoughts and picked up the prepared animal bone. Following the method recorded on the Shaman Bone Tablet, he first injected the animal bone with Shaman Power to test the quality of the Ferocious Beast Bone. If it could not even contain his Shaman Power, it would not be suitable for making Shaman Bone Tablets.
“Regularly nourishing the animal bone with Shaman Power will make the resulting Shaman Bone Tablet more powerful,” Su Bai remembered what was recorded on the Animal Hide Scroll.
Looking at the bone in his hand, he could not feel any Shaman Power in it. It was just a processed piece of Ferocious Beast Bone.
“There’s no time to nourish the animal bones now,” Su Bai only had three days to prepare. He needed to make as many Shaman Bone Tablets as possible.
In the future, when he had time, he would slowly nourish the animal bones and make some high quality Shaman Bone Tablets.
