Lin Wu internally smiled upon hearing the man's words and knew that it would be easier from now.

"That would be good, let me give you something that would allow us to communicate." Lin Wu said.

"What senior?" Wang Xiong asked feeling interested.

The thought that anything that the senior was willing to give him must not be common and should be quite valuable. He wondered if it was going to be some rare treasure. He then saw Lin Wu extended his tail and a small spike popped on it.

Well, the spike was small considering the size of the beast, but comparing it to Wang Xiong, it was still like a dagger. Lin Wu manipulated it a bit and made it a bit flatter and then broke it off from his tail.

"Here take it," Lin Wu said.

Wang Xiong grasped the spike which had now become like a flat strip. He could feel a faint heat contained within it which was fading by the second. The surface was smooth to touch and seemed to be quite hard.

"What is this senior?" Wang Xiong asked.

"You should have used communication jade slips before right? This is something similar to that. Hold it to speak with me." Lin Wu answered.

Wang Xiong was rather intrigued by this as from what he knew communication jade slips were spirit tools that needed to be made by spirit tool refiners. While his sect gave them out for free to the disciple, the skill needed to make on was still quite high.

For someone to make one in a couple of seconds like this was rather incomprehensible to him. Wanting to test it out he held it in his hand and tried to communicate with Lin Wu.

'Can you hear me senior?' Wang Xiong said in his mind.

'Yes, I can.' Lin Wu replied.

Wang Xiong nodded his head and felt content with it. He knew how valuable the guidance of a senior like Lin Wu could be who had lived for so many millenniums. Just the experience that he had must be worth the fortune of the entire sect.

"You should head back to your companions now." Lin Wu said.

"My companions? Where are they senior?" Wang Xiong asked.

He had a guess that they were perhaps sent out of the tomb, but he still wanted to confirm the fact since they all had suffered death in the trials and he didn't know if they were going to have long-lasting effects.

"They were teleported back to the entrance and should be fine." Lin Wu answered.

It was now that an idea appeared in Lin Wu's mind, and he narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me… why do I smell Beast Inciting powder on you?" Lin Wu questioned.

"Uh… we… were having trouble getting to the tomb, and a lot of beasts were in our paths. We never wanted to use it but had no choice left but to use it. Taking advantage of the time that the beasts were dazed, we escaped and went further towards the tomb." Wang Xiong answered.

"So that's what happened…" Lin Wu muttered.

It was a bit different from what he had expected but it was fine never the less for him. He had already gotten a bit of a benefit from all the hard eared limber mice.

"I'll send you out then," Lin Wu said, before activating the teleportation formation.

~shua~

Runes appeared around Wang Xiong and he disappeared in a flash of light.

"Thank you for everything senior…" Wang Xiong uttered before disappearing.

~Sigh~

"Now to get back to my own work…" Lin Wu muttered to himself before taking a look at the inheritance that he had received.

The Taiji Dual Unity scripture was a cultivation technique so its effects were apparent, but the Unity Avatar technique seemed to be more complex.

"System, show me the data on the Unity Avatar technique that you've analyzed." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

QI SKILL: Dual Unity Avatar Technique

Info: The Dual Unity Avatar Technique was created by the Taiji Celestial as a remembrance to his past two selves, Bai and Hei. The technique allows one to create a second avatar of themselves that can be equal to that of the main body. The cultivation base can be set according to the host but must always be lower than that of the main body. The avatar can cultivate on its own and can transmit a part of the spirit Qi to the main body.

Restrictions:

1. The cost to create an avatar is half of the host's current cultivation base.

2. If the Avatar is destroyed, the host will not be affected, but the spirit Qi provided to the avatar will disappear.

3. The Avatar can be merged with the main body to increase the power and cultivation base of the host.

4. Both the main body and the Avatar will contain the same consciousness and can be controlled by the main body.

After reading the Qi skill's details, Lin Wu felt amazed and understood that this was exactly what he had needed all this time. Being with Shirong had its benefits, but it also came with its own restrictions.

But now that he was able to have two bodies, he would be able to have the best of both worlds… albeit with a few restrictions. Lin Wu thought for a bit and then decided to make an avatar. He will be keeping the avatar here in the tomb while his main body will be with Shirong.

"System, I can use the teleportation array with the avatar the same way I can do with myself, right?" Lin Wu questioned for confirmation.

"Affirmative." The system responded.

"Alright, that will make things much easier…" Lin Wu said.

"Wait system, can I just use the stored spirit Qi to create the avatar?" Lin Wu asked again.

"Affirmative," the system responded.

"Excellent…" Lin Wu nodded his head.

He checked the time and knew that it was very close to when Shirong would wake up, thus he needed to hurry up.

"Let's get to it then…"
