Original Celadon

Lu Shuang felt as if she was in a river, her whole body wrapped in water, bringing a cool feeling in the hot summer.

He felt that his limbs and bones were stronger than before, and his whole body was much lighter. When he calmed down, he seemed to hear the sound of water flowing in the air.

The food preparation team brought a large bowl of noodles, some braised beef and a poached egg in the lunch box. Shen Nong put the lunch box on the small table outside, and looked at the bed in the inner room. Seeing that the person was awake and looked silly, he smiled and said, "Come out and eat noodles."

Lu Shuang quickly climbed out of bed and ran out the door, saying excitedly, "It worked! It worked, teacher!"

Shen Nong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Lu Shuang address him, remembering that this was what he had said to Lu Shuang when she was injured by the giant tree. If successful, he could teach Lu Shuang how to use this power. Not as a priest, but as a teacher.

"You still remember it." Shen Nong took the noodles out of the food box, placed the chopsticks, and raised his chin slightly to signal Lu Shuang to eat the noodles quickly.

"I remember everything the teacher said." Lu Shuang called him teacher cheerfully. Shen Nong was moved when he heard this familiar yet strange way of addressing him. Hey, teacher... I don't know if his teacher is doing well in the StarCraft.

Lu Shuang was starving. The intense pain from the pain was extremely exhausting. He hadn't eaten a single bite of food for the entire morning. He wolfed down the noodles, swallowing them without even chewing them twice.

Shen Nong didn't say any useless words to persuade him to eat slowly. Saying these things to someone who is very hungry is useless and just a waste of words.

It didn't take long for Lu Shuang to finish a big bowl of noodles, and drank up all the soup. He put down the bowl, looked at Shen Nong's half-smile, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Do you want me to get you some more?" Shen Nong asked.

Lu Shuang waved his hands. Noodles were a rare commodity, so he didn't dare to eat more. "No need, priest. I'm full."

"Let's get down to business." Shen Nong walked to the wooden table and sat down. The sun was shining brightly, but it was still a bit cool sitting under the shade of the tree. "Tomorrow I will leave for a marginal tribe. I have asked Mao Yun to be the deputy chief. If there is anything in the tribe, you can discuss it with Hu Xiao, Mao Yun and the other two. If you encounter a big matter that you are undecided about, go find Shen San."

Shen Nong wanted the three of them to grow up slowly and be able to take charge of things on their own earlier, but he was also afraid that they had no experience. If Shen San stayed, if anything really happened, Shen San could communicate with him in time on the system platform.

Lu Shuang nodded happily, "Okay, Priest!"

Shen Nong saw how straightforward he was, and he was not unwilling at all. He thought of the last time this guy was injured, and thought he was going to be selected as a candidate, and he was crying and saying that he couldn't compete with Tu Dong.

"Why didn't you say we couldn't compete with Rabbit Winter this time?"

"Priest, you still remember it." Lu Shuang chuckled, a little embarrassed, "Before, it was because I was injured and Tu Dong was taking care of me. At that time, I always felt uncomfortable when I argued with Tu Dong."

Shen Nong waved his hand, "Okay, come here and teach you some methods on how to control and guide the power in your body."

When the effect of the marrow cleansing pill wore off, Shen Nong checked Lu Shuang's body. He confirmed that the spirit core in Lu Shuang's body had awakened and that she was a water-type supernatural being.

The way of training and using superpowers is the same for psychics. The only difference is that they develop their own attack or defense methods based on the characteristics of each different superpower.

Shen Nong taught Lu Shuang some basic methods of practicing and using supernatural powers, and asked Lu Shuang to practice well while in the tribe.

Lu Shuang's special ability has just awakened, and the most powerful thing she can do is to direct the water in the bucket into a small upward stream, but it can't last long.

Therefore, Shen Nong was not worried that Lu Shuang would lose control of her abilities and hurt herself or others.

"Priest! Priest!" An urgent shout came from the stairs, mixed with the sound of footsteps on the stairs, and soon reached the door.

Shen Nong let Lu Shuang feel it herself first, and then let the orcs outside in.

Shi Lin pushed the door open and walked in. He was sweating profusely, his face and neck were red, and he was panting heavily. He excitedly handed the things in his hand forward, "Priest, I burned it out!"

Shen Nong took the item from Shi Xia's hand. He extended his slender fingertips and gently stroked it. The smooth touch was real. Celadon, the most primitive celadon. Unlike the exquisite white porcelain, it was yellowish, simple and heavy.

Shi Lin loves to study pottery making and is very good at learning from experience. The tribe has collected black pottery, gray pottery and red pottery. Different firing techniques and different clays can produce pottery of different colors. He is always looking for soil everywhere, and he will dig it up and make pottery when he finds suitable soil. During the period of rebuilding the tribe, Shi Xia used the newly dug soil to make gray-white pottery.

At that time, he showed it to Shen Nong, who guessed that perhaps Shi Xia had dug up clay suitable for firing porcelain. This is the color of the clay after firing.

After the system detected the ingredients, Shen Nong's guess was confirmed. With porcelain clay, pottery can be upgraded to porcelain. Shen Nong told Shi Lin the formula of lime glaze, and asked Shi Xia from the production team to upgrade the slow-wheel pottery cart to a fast-wheel pottery cart. The speed is increased, and the fast rotation speed can also make the final shape of the vessel look better.

However, even after all the preparations were completed, the porcelain was still not successfully fired.

After many failures and experience in firing pottery, Shilin guessed that it was due to the temperature. He tried many ways to raise the temperature in the kiln, and after many failures, he finally succeeded this time!

Shen Nong placed the celadon on the table. He knew how difficult it was to successfully fire a piece of porcelain with porcelain clay under the current conditions. Shen Nong asked some more details and confirmed that this porcelain could not be mass-produced for the time being. The reason was very simple. Shilin had no way to control the temperature. When to add firewood, when to increase the temperature, and when to keep warm, they could not accurately judge because they did not have enough experience.

The yield rate of wood-fired kilns is low, less than half. But at least the tribe has mastered this skill, and now it only takes time to accumulate experience.

When Shi Lin left, Shen Nong mentioned that he could try using pine wood to make porcelain. Rosin has a moisturizing effect on porcelain, and porcelain made from pine wood is more moist and subtle than other porcelain.

..

This trip to the marginal tribe was for trading, and in order to hurry up, Shen Nong decided to go by air instead of by land. He talked to Shen Yi on the system platform and asked him to find Yu Ji to hire some orcs from the Yu tribe to help him transport the goods.

The orcs of the Yu tribe arrived early, and the matter of the General Ze guard was temporarily handed over to Tu Feng. Although Tu Feng was a level 6 orc, he had been a member of the Wood tribe hunting team from the beginning, and had been trained longer than the Water tribe and Wushan tribe that merged later.

Ze saw that Tu Feng had also reached the critical point, and was only one step away from advancing. When they left, Ze, Hu Xiao, and Mao Yun told them to compete with Tu Feng more often, which would help them quickly break through the critical point and advance.

In order to reach the marginal tribe quickly, apart from Ze, only the Yu tribe followed with the goods for trading. When Shen Nong selected the nearest flight route according to the map, the priests of the nine tribes on the marginal tribe side also gathered together.

"Do you think the orcs from the Wood Tribe will come?"

"Maybe. It won't do any good for a big tribe like them to cheat us."

"Of course they will come. I asked the orcs of our Stone Tribe to pick up a lot of beautiful green stones. We even cleared a cave to store them. They are now filling up half the cave. If they don't come, what will happen to the green stones in most of the caves in our tribe?"

"Even if the Wood Tribe didn't come, your Stone Tribe has also gained a lot of good things. If we had known earlier, our Creek Tribe would have brought those white stones over last time. If the Wood Tribe's priests also like white stones, then our Creek Tribe could have exchanged some things for them."

When the Stone Tribe priest heard this, he immediately felt that the green stone of his tribe was threatened. "What's so beautiful about the white stone of your Creek Tribe? Even if our Stone Tribe's green stone can't compare, we still have the golden stone. That is more beautiful than anything else. If the orcs from the Wood Tribe come and see it, they will definitely like it."

The priest of the Xi tribe fell silent. What they said was true. The golden stone was indeed very beautiful. It sparkled in the sun, as if it could glow.

"What should we do? Among the nine tribes, only the Stone Tribe, Mulberry Tribe, Flower Tribe, Tree Tribe and Wood Tribe have trade. How are we, the remaining five tribes going to live in the future?" sighed the priest of the Creek Tribe.

As soon as he finished speaking, the priest of the Stone Tribe was stared at by priests from several other tribes, who blamed him for what he had just said.

Shu Guo coughed lightly and said, "Priest of the Stone Tribe, don't forget that we gathered together this time to find a solution for the five tribes that did not trade with the Wood Tribe."

The other eight tribes all respected the Tree Tribe, which guarded the sacred tree. Although Shuguo was young, her words carried a lot of weight.

The Stone Tribe priest lowered his head, regretting what he had just said.

"After the five tribes return, find out everything you think is rare or that only your tribe has. You can also ask the orcs in the gathering team if they have found anything they haven't seen near the tribe. If so, collect them all and wait for the orcs from the Wood Tribe to come, and then our four tribes will show them.

Some things we think are insignificant, but the Wood Tribe priests value them very much, such as the stones of the Stone Tribe. So, don’t think that things are useless just because they are everywhere. Perhaps in the eyes of the Wood Tribe priests, these things can be exchanged for more animal skins and pickled meat. "

Seeing that the five priests who had not traded were in better spirits, Shu Guo continued, "We, the nine marginal tribes, have always helped each other. The sacred tree is watching us. It will not allow any tribe to watch another tribe perish, so don't worry even if you don't find anything to trade with the Wood Tribe."

The last sentence made the other three priests who had transactions with the Mu tribe sober up a lot, and also reassured the five tribal priests who had no transactions with the Mu tribe.

That's right, the sacred tree will watch over them. Since the emergence of the nine marginal tribes, they have always been in the same boat.

The priests of the tribes surrounding the Mu tribe finally made up their minds to quietly go to the priest of the Mu tribe to discuss the matter of becoming a subordinate of the Mu tribe.

As a result, they arrived at an unlucky time and were unable to enter the gate of the Wood Tribe. They only heard from the Wood Tribe orcs, "The priest is not here."

Hu Xiao and the other two also knew about this, but they had no say in the matter. So Lu Shuang ran to tell Shen San, and then Shen Nong knew about it right after.

But it was useless for him to know now, as he couldn't fly back halfway, so he could only let the priests wait.
