Lin Wu thought for a moment and figured that he had three more hours until the morning. He could very well go and return back to Shirong. But then decided against it. There were still a few things he didn't know and wanted to be on the safer side.
"Hmm, now that I have the maps, I don't need to crawl all the way there, I can just tunnel my way to the courtyard." Lin Wu said to himself.
He then went back inside the Lu clan's compound and dug into the soft ground hidden under a bush. He then turned on the navigation and put Shirong's courtyard as the destination. Now that he had the keys for both of the formation arrays he was able to create the shortest route which was a straight tunnel.
What had taken him nearly fifteen minutes before now only took two. Lin Wu was like a drill traveling through the ground and quickly reached below the Courtyard. He picked another bush and dug out from under there. He scanned the area with his spirit sense and discovered that Shirong was far from done and was still performing the 'arts' in the bedroom.
The faint sounds of moans and cries could still be heard from outside, which only made Lin Wu a bit pissed. Ignoring it for his own health, he walked into the study.
'Now then, let's check out the books and see what the system can do with it,' Lin Wu thought to himself.
"System, scan all the books and see if you can figure out the languages." Lin Wu ordered.

"Wonder how long this will take now… hopefully it is done before Shirong is 'done'." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He then looked towards the shelf, and an idea appeared in his mind.
'Might as well read to pass the time…' Lin Wu thought.
He then went and picked the book 'A Brief History Of The Lu Clan' and started reading from the place where he had left off from.
Lin Wu found out that the Lu clan had a history of about seven hundred years and the current clan head was the strongest cultivator in their clan till now. He was the only person that had reached the nascent soul realm since the beginning of the clan.
"So his name is Lu Ren, huh?" Lin Wu said upon discovering the name of the Lu clan head.
'Seems like becoming the clan Head means that few people would have the authority to call him by his first name in this city at least. Even Shirong only calls him clan head for respect.' Lin Wu thought.
Most of the things in the book were just the achievements of the clan, along with the names of a few prominent members. The rest just seemed like propaganda to Lin Wu, pretty much. He put the book back on the shelf and picked another one that he could read.
"A treatise on the twelve kingdom alliance," Lin Wu read the title.
"This sounds kinda… formal?" he muttered and flipped to the next page.
He read about ten pages of the four hundred that were present in the book before stopping.
"That is definitely not for me." Lin Wu said.
The book had all the political discussions that occurred between the twelve kingdoms alliance. Ling kingdom was part of this, and the book had a detailed log of everything that had happened. From conflicts to marriages, everything was covered.
"I'll just leave it for the system. This is perfect for it to upgrade its data banks." Lin Wu said, feeling a bit helpless.
'Let's find something interesting…' Lin Wu thought and started scouring through the books.
There were actually a lot of them which caught his interest and had some amazing depictions of their covers. But he was unable to read these books because of them being in a different language. One of the books he found was about the cultivation realms and explained some details.
But even that was less than what was explained in the Ji clan records that Lin Wu had read.
"Oh wait, isn't this the same thing that they were talking about earlier?" Lin Wu said after finding a book that contained information about Tribulation platforms.
He learned that there were chiefly three types of tribulation platforms: Generalized multiple use type, Generalized single use type, and Customized unique type.
As the name said, generalized multiple use type and generalized single use type tribulation platforms were used by anyone and it didn't matter what kind of cultivation technique they practiced. This type of platform had a certain level of compatibility with most cultivation techniques.
Then there was the Customized Unique type, which was the one being made for Shirong. Because of his top grade Cultivation technique Immortal sky shaker art, there were a lot of requirements to it and would need quite a lot of resources to make it.
"Boy, Shirong really lucked out huh or it would have been difficult for him to break through to the nascent soul realm. I've read the Immortal sky shaker art, and it is gonna have difficulties when the heavenly tribulation arrives. There are some seriously strange things with that technique." Lin Wu muttered to himself.
Lin Wu had not realized it at first when he read the technique, but now he could see the flaws in the technique. It was obvious that there were some flaws in it. He was only able to see them due to the system's analysis.
The Immortal sky shaker art allowed one to gain comprehension over the Dao of Sky which included two elemental attributes; Wind and lightning. Now the thing was cultivation was said to be stealing fortune from the heavens and as a punishment for that, the heavenly tribulation would descend.
For Shirong, the Immortal sky shaker art involved absorbing and refining a very tiny amount of the tribulation lightning. While he would be bearing the brunt of the entire thing, refining even a minuscule amount was incredibly difficult and Lin Wu wondered if he would even be able to do it.
