After Yao Zhi finished taking stock of the medicinal herbs, she stood up and said to Bai Ruanruan, "Clan Chief Ruanruan, you all rest here for a while. I'll go to Awakening Lake to fetch some lake water. It needs to be added to the Awakening Potion, and we've already used up the previous amount."
Bai Ruanruan asked enthusiastically, "Should we take a few clansmen with us and bring back more?"
Yao Zhi thought about it for a moment, and since the lake water could be released anyway, she nodded in agreement.
Yao Zhi led three little beastmen of the Medicine Rabbit Clan, each carrying a large jar, out of the courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, he ran into Mu Qing, who had come looking for him.
When Mu Qing learned that Yao Zhi and the others were going to Awakening Lake to fetch water, she thought it had been a while since she had gone out for a walk, so she went along with them.
The group soon arrived at Awakening Lake. Awakening Lake was very large. The people soaking in the inner part were the beastmen of the three major clans of the royal city: the Jiaolong Clan, the White Tiger Clan, and the Fire Lion Clan. Other tribes, such as the Earth Lizard Clan, the Colorful Python Clan, the Fox Clan, and the Feather Clan, were scattered around the outer perimeter.
Yao Zhi looked at the beastmen soaking in the lake with some surprise, thinking to herself, "The beastmen are in such good condition this year, soaking in the lake."
Instead of seeing expressions of pain and contortion on their faces, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. The usual wails and screams had also disappeared, and Awakening Valley was quiet.
Yao Zhi felt lightheaded, and the scene before her gave her an unreal feeling, as if she were in a dream.
Mu Qing looked at Yao Zhi, who seemed lost in thought, and softly called out, "Lady Yao Zhi..."
Mu Qing's gentle voice brought Yao Zhi back to her senses.
Yao Zhi led a few of the little beastmen from the Yao Rabbit Clan to a corner away from the other beastmen to fetch water.
As soon as he touched the lake water, he noticed something was wrong. The energy of the awakened lake water was much thinner than before.
For the past two years, Yao Zhi has been engrossed in the research of Awakening Potions, dealing with the water of Awakening Lake every day. In addition, in the past month, he has been diluting and mixing the lake water every day, which has made him much more sensitive to the strength of the lake water's energy.
He put his hand into the lake water again to feel it carefully, and thought to himself with delight, "Great, great, this is perfect. No need to dilute it. I can take it back and mix it directly with the medicine."
Thinking of this, he looked up at the group of little beastmen soaking in the lake and thought to himself, "What a lucky bunch of little guys."
Mu Qing, who was standing nearby, also noticed the change in energy in the lake. He remembered what Murong Yu had told him that morning: the Golden Dragon Seal had stayed in the Awakening Lake for more than four months and had automatically returned to his side last night.
Mu Qing lowered her eyes, a hint of suspicion in her heart, and pondered to herself, "The changes in this lake water might be related to the Golden Dragon Seal..."
Yao Zhi couldn't figure out the key to the lake's changes, but he didn't dwell on it. As long as the changes were positive, he didn't care how or why they happened.
Yao Zhi cheerfully greeted the little beastmen, filled the large jars she had brought to the brim, and happily returned to the tribe. Mu Qing noticed that one of the little beastmen was having difficulty carrying the jars, so she reached out to help him, earning a shy and grateful smile from the little beastman.
Mountain Stone Tribe
Jiao Li wandered around the tribe, carefully investigating everything, but found nothing and returned to his lodgings with little interest.
In the square
The fat rat clan's timid rat, along with the timid rat and its clan members, were the first to set out their trading items.
When the other tribes saw this, they also came out one after another to set up their things, but there were very few of them. They were all totem warriors who had escorted the unawakened orcs over.
Eagle of the Feather Clan raised his eyes and looked at the Fat Rat Clan beastmen opposite him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Raising his voice, he asked, "You cowardly rat, I see that all the fat rat beastmen here have successfully awakened their totems. What's going on?"
