They understood that the young leader was in a bad mood after being recently eliminated, and any gossip at this time would surely upset her.
Moreover, Ethen was not an ordinary person. The fact that he was appointed as the deputy leader despite being an outsider explained everything.
Even Najib, who cared the most about Mei, said nothing last night, so the rest of the tribe naturally pretended not to notice anything.
The jade rabbit set in the west, and the golden crow rose in the east. A new day arrived. At dawn, after a night of hard practice, Mei finally succeeded in the trial production.
Looking at the Celestial Moon Elixir she had personally crafted in the bottle, Mei shed tears of excitement.
"Not bad!"
Ethen was also quite pleased. He had to admit that Mei's talent in pharmaceuticals was indeed exceptional. Such a complex potion was mastered in just one night.
"Ethen, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Mei bowed solemnly to Ethen. This gesture came from the bottom of her heart.
Without Ethen's guidance, she wasn't sure if she would ever have the chance to successfully make the Celestial Moon Elixir in her lifetime.
Now that she succeeded, it was entirely due to Ethen's guidance. Just as Mei was about to say something more, Ethen's stomach growled loudly.
This made Mei laugh. She immediately invited Ethen to join her for breakfast. At this time, with the break of dawn, most of the tribes people of the Black Eagle Tribe were already awake.
They gathered together, busily preparing breakfast with great enthusiasm. You cut the meat, I heat the milk, everything was done in a spirit of mutual assistance.
This is the character that the nomadic people have developed over a long period of survival and evolution. Seeing Mei and Ethen emerge, everyone had peculiar expressions on their faces.
After all, they were well aware that the two had spent the entire night together in a tent. At that moment, as the two appeared together in front of everyone, the once doused flames of gossip ignited once more.
Seeing the peculiar expressions on everyone's faces, Mei, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Why are you all looking at me? Is the food ready? Don't you know that I worked hard all night? Hurry up and get the meal ready!"
With these words, everyone was taken aback. The young leader was truly bold, daring to say anything. She mentioned working hard all night without hesitation, even emphasizing it.
Indeed, her style was bold and audacious! It was Najib who first snapped out of it, immediately urging those around him to hasten with the meal preparations. Seeing this, Mei nodded in satisfaction. Before long, a sumptuous breakfast was ready.
"Ethen, come and join us."
Mei invited Ethen to take a seat.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Ethen was not shy. He nodded to Najib and sat down next to Mei, joining everyone in eating and drinking. He very much enjoyed the atmosphere of everyone gathering to eat breakfast together.
Noticing Ethen's hungry demeanor, Mei promptly tore off a piece of beef and handed it to him, "You worked hard last night, eat more."
"Sure."
Ethen took the beef and began to devour it, smiling at Mei as he ate. Witnessing this scene, everyone nearly spat out their food. These two really do have something going on!
...
After finishing breakfast, Ethen felt completely refreshed.
Thud, thud, thud.
At that moment, the intense sound of drums began to echo once again. The semifinals of the Pharmacist Competition were about to commence.
With Najib making it to the semifinals, the members of the Black Eagle Tribe placed great importance on today's match.
Upon hearing the drumming, they immediately gathered towards the central competition venue.
Today's competition would determine the ultimate champion.
Once the four semifinalists arrived at the venue, they were invited to the center of the arena by the host for introductions. Introducing them publicly to the three tribal groups was a huge honor for the semifinalists.
The four contestants were Najib of the Black Eagle Tribe, Kamal of the White Tiger Tribe, and two pharmacists from the Viper Tribe Cobra and
Shamila.
The anticipation was high to see which of the four would claim the top spot.
The rules for the final round were straightforward: the four contestants would choose the medicine that best showcased their skills and freely prepare it.
The judges would then conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on the grade and quality of the medicines produced, determining the champion, runner up, and third place.
This was undoubtedly the most anticipated round. All four contestants were eager to demonstrate their best performance in front of everyone. With the host's command, the final showdown officially began.
To ensure the contestants performed at their best, this round did not have the organizers providing uniform pharmaceutical tools; instead, the contestants could use their own tools.
Naturally, the tools one is most accustomed to using are their own. To make a bid for the championship, each of the four pharmacists brought out their prized possessions to start their preparations.
Even the pharmaceutical cauldrons of the four contestants were a spectacle for everyone to enjoy.
Before them, Black Eagle representative Najib presented a medicinal cauldron adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings on its surface; it was his cherished [Blooming Splendor Cauldron], treasured for many years.
White Tiger Kamal's cauldron was just as impressive, featuring fierce tigers in the mountains and roaming dragons in the vast sea; this was the [Tiger Roaring Dragon Singing Cauldron].
Cobra Viper's cauldron had a completely different aesthetic, engraved with nine round spheres symbolizing nine suns; it was the ancestral [Nine Yang Cauldron] of the Poisonous Snake Tribe.
Shamila Viper's cauldron was equally remarkable, exuding a fresh aura of nature, known as the [Dense Forest and Bamboo Cauldron].
The presence of four high quality cauldrons further highlighted the importance everyone placed on the final. For pharmacists, the cauldron is an essential tool, but the key lies in their pharmaceutical skills.
