Chapter 50: Soul Taming Abode

The Elders had no problem with the Disciples that had gained by searching the Soul Taming Abode first. Sages Storage Ring was far different than the standard. Usually a storage bag was the size of a belt pouch and could hold as much as a backpack within. The different grades of bag would correspond with how small the pouch was and how large the space inside. The highest grade storage bags were the size of a coin purse yet they could store as much as a large camping pack. A one cubic inch pouch holding one cubic yard of matter.

Storage Rings on the other hand were special in that they were much tougher, smaller, and they ignored weight. A storage bag was more like a shrinking device in that the objects within still had weight, it was the reason that most storage bag were carried on belts and not slipped into a pocket or on a necklace. The most expensive Storage Bags were mounted on belts that reduced weight. The most low grade of Storage Rings stored the same amount of material as a Storage Bag, but they cost ten times more. Larger Storage Rings were even more expensive with one the same size as Sage had easily costing millions of Spirit Stones. Sage already had a Storage Ring so he didnt really look into buying others, and so didnt really realize how valuable his ring was. One of the main reasons the Elders let the six Disciples keep what theyd found was because they assumed the amount they could take was limited. They really had no clue that Sages ring could hold enough for him to completely strip clean a few rooms. Lucky for them Sage had only had the chance to visit a few rooms before he was taken out of the treasure hunt.

Sage stood silently with the rest of the group, just watching as Peak Master Zhen walked down row after row. Every item she passed disappeared with a wave of her hand as the whole treasury was rapidly collected by her. Elder Shuren merely waited by the side, only there to look out for any other formation traps. Given the security of this place, it was safer to have a Formation Master on either side of the energy screen to cover all their bases. All the Inner Court Disciples were watching Peak Master Zhen and marveling at the many treasures she was sweeping up. Whenever a Disciple recognized a treasure they would call it out, the others gasping in amazement at such rarities. Many of the pedestals even had stacks of jade boxes which the Peak Master would first open one to confirm the treasures within before collecting the whole stack.

Within an hour, the Peak Master had cleaned the whole place out. She called out to the whole group, That should be everything. Does anyone see anything else?

The crowd collectively gasped as this final line was emitted and everyone looked eager to run up to take a look. Of course their hopes were immediately dashed, I know you all wish to tear into them, but this place is now the property of the Sect. As you are all part of this discovery, you will all be allowed to learn one technique from those collected here!

A cheer resounded as people started to dash towards the stairways. That was until a loud cough seemed to disrupt the Qi running through their bodies and stopped everyone in place, Ahem! You will be allowed to learn a technique, but not now. First, all of them must be catalogued and moved back to the Sect. Copies will be made and you will all get to pick from the list after we return.

Frowns grew on everyones faces as their hopes of digging through a massive treasure trove were dashed. They all had the dream of sorting through a pile of dusty scrolls and finding that overlooked technique that would cause their strength to improve by leaps and bounds. Now that they were just going to get a list and pick from it like ordering lunch the romance of the whole affair had been ruined. Grumbling about their luck, the Peak Master had an impish smile on her face. It seemed she enjoyed toying with their emotions as she finally gave them some good news, This sorting should take some time. While myself and the Elders are doing this, you all can feel free to search this place once more. Im sure those six didnt find everything. Just stay out of the two locked rooms. Once youre tired of searching you may return here and read the books on the first floor. Tomorrow we shall continue the expedition. This Soul Taming Abode is the new base camp where myself and half the Elders will remain to continue cataloguing.

After a moment to let all these instructions set in, the Peak Master made sure to light a fire under them, Remember to all search well. If youre lucky, you might find another place like this Soul Taming Abode!The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
