The cowhide soaked in fresh water for three days, after which he tossed it into limewater to soak for a few more. By then, it had become soft and incredibly supple. Li Xiang took the hide out, laid it flat on a wooden board, and began to remove the hair and scrape off the fat.
This process actually required great control over one's Power. Too much force would damage the hide, while too little wouldn't scrape it clean. For a Tier Two Transcendent, however, this was no problem at all.
He didn't even need a small knife. He just used his thirty-kilogram Chopping Knife, wielding it as if it were weightless. The results of his de-hairing and scraping surpassed those of many professional tools from small workshops.
After scraping, he washed them again in fresh water until they were clean. The three yellow cowhides were now of uniform thickness. He then hung them in the courtyard to dry.
'Should I use fir, Birch Wood, and oak to make the drum, or just use Red Fir Wood?'
