A Beacon's Key?

The feather in Lin Wu's grasp was a stone feather and looking at its shape it was likely from the vermilion bird's statue. It seemed strange to Lin Wu though as the statue itself was made from a single rock.

Thus the feathers carved on it would have been part of its surface and not individual like this. Lin Wu looked back at the statue and could not even tell what part this feather was detached from.

"No… this is not from the statue. The shape and size do not match. The ones on the statue are much longer than this and the size is also bigger." Lin Wu said after comparing it for a bit.

~shine~

"Huh? It glows?" Lin Wu was surprised.

A red vein in the center of the stone feather could be seen. Lin Wu probed it with his spirit sense and realized that it actually had the bloodline of the Vermillion bird in it. 

"This is quite different… it is mild… yet powerful…" Lin Wu muttered.
