Under the envious and jealous gazes of the other youths, Zhang Yuan followed Dong Yuanwei into the Wooden Man Room.
The Wooden Man Room was right next to the Martial Arts Arena, and it was very spacious and bright inside.
The room was neatly lined with eighteen wooden figures.
All the wooden figures were similar in size and height to an average person, with their heads, torsos, and limbs all wrapped in thick fish skin.
Dong Yuanwei told Zhang Yuan that these fish skins were taken from large black fish that had grown for over ten years, peeled with the scales and soaked in a specially formulated liquid.
They were soaked for forty-nine days, then dried for half a month before being soaked again.
Only after three cycles of soaking and drying was the process considered complete.
And wrapping one wooden figure required a hundred and seventy sheets of such black fish skin!
