Chapter 56: Center of the Lake

A few minutes later, Sage was settling a third Dragonfly into one of his Insect Cages. After chasing down the first one, it had been a simple task to find a couple more. All he had to do was linger nearby a swarm of Mosquitoes, which thankfully found his scaly body unappetizing, and once a Dragonfly came into range he released a paralyzing cloud. Subduing Spores was a wood based Qi Technique that acted as a tranquilizer. For those weaker than him, a lower rank, it would cause gradual paralysis. Against those of an equal rank it dulled the senses and slowed reaction times, while those who were more powerful would be relaxed and find their emotions dulled. It was one of the most useful techniques for a Tamer, just so long as the target didnt have a resistance against the effect. There was actually more than a few species of beast that the Subduing Spores had an opposite effect upon. As soon as they felt themselves slowing or relaxing they would become enraged and become even more powerful than before.

With the use of the Subduing Spores, Sage merely had to wait for them to fall from the sky before scooping them up and stuffing them into an Insect Cage. At the same time, the many Mosquitoes in a swarm would also be affected and he didnt waste the opportunity to snatch them up as well.

Along the way he also ran across large water striders and a species of violet colored snake. He wasnt sure what species the snake were, nor their capabilities. Since hed become part snake he felt compelled to capture and study all the snakes he found. As such, he merely threw out some Subduing Spores upon the snakes and snatched them up. They were only around Level 15 so it was a cinch to capture them. Hed look into their species later. A dozen different species of fish swam past him, but he ignored them. It wasnt as if he didnt bring enough rations, so there was no need to spend time catching fish, unless of course something about them caught his eye.

A dozen minutes later, the purple fog started to clear. An area at the center of the lake a few hundred yards wide came into view. The clear space seemed to be formed around an island, one which was swarming with beast shaped ghosts and spirits. Seems Ive found the right place.

I found some sort of ghost trapping array out in the swamp, Peak Master.

After trying a dozen different things and getting nowhere, Sage returned to the Soul Taming Abode and reported his findings to Peak Master Zhen. She pondered over things for a while before consulting with some of the Elders. After a short time she slapped her hand down onto the open pages of a book.

Aha! Here it is. A place similar to what you described. The Soul Training Grounds. The disciples of the Soul Taming Abode head there to temper their Beast Spirits!

Sage was obviously out of the loop, and held up his hands to slow them down, Whats this about Beast Spirits, Peak Master?The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
