A Deadly Gift

In the morning, an exhausted looking Wu Ling made his way across the slick rocks and soggy ground of their campsite to join Fang Lin as the Formation Initiate retrieved his flags and spirit jades. 

Wu Ling had limited his cultivation of 'Precise Placement' to a single hour even though he recognized that he could make even more progress if he gave himself more time to study and practice within his Soul Garden. 

Instead of continuing to cultivate, however, he'd returned to the camp with the piece of bone prepared by Yu Jinqi and Xiong Dahuo. The totem he spent the night carving proved more challenging than he'd imagined and after three hours of delicate work, he'd ruined his first attempt and had to start over.
