After a series of tests.
Chen Lin gained a thorough understanding of the statue's effects.
It was somewhat like a vessel for a clone, allowing his consciousness to descend into it without being limited by distance.
Even after he left the Thatch Cottage, or even the valley, he could still sense it.
He had not tested greater distances.
But presumably, it would work at those distances too.
As for its ultimate range, that would have to be verified later. It certainly would not be small.
In addition.
Chen Lin also confirmed something else.
Others could summon him through the statue.
But they needed a medium.
Both the Silver Bowl and the amber were Medium Objects.
However, such Medium Objects had to be intimately connected to the energy he used to bind himself to the statue. Not just anything would do.
This left Chen Lin feeling somewhat helpless.
He had used his Talent Ability to bind himself to it, so very few objects could serve as a medium.
The Black and White Chess Pieces best met the requirements.
But those chess pieces were vital to using his talent. He could not possibly use them as tokens.
Of course.
He could also do what had been done with that amber: form his own destiny origin essence into a runic inscription, then seal it away to use as a token.
That would be convenient, but with his methods, the tokens he sealed would not be very powerful and would not last long. He would need to find a suitable vessel.

For now, he had no need for such tokens.
And as the Manager here, Old Servant Qi presumably did not need a token to summon him. Otherwise, he would have mentioned it.
Besides these two functions,
