Storage Soul Tool Taiji

Storage Soul Tool: Taiji

Early the next morning, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds and spilled gently across the training field of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Wu Tong walked through the morning dew and came to the back mountain once more. As that wisp of Sun Power descended, Wu Tong's cultivation began again.

And so, Wu Tong settled into a routine at the academy: cultivating, eating, studying, eating, cultivating, and sleeping. He experienced the calm of ordinary life while his heart still burned with passion for the future.

Meanwhile.

On the third day after the gathering at the hotel.

Wu Tu led the Soul Hunting Squad onto the road to the Star Dou Great Forest. As they gradually ventured deeper into the forest, darkness and mystery slowly enveloped them. Wu Tu walked at the very front of the group, using his familiarity with the forest to carefully guide everyone around potential dangers.

After several days of arduous travel, they finally reached the middle perimeter. Moonlight flowed like water, spilling through the forest and providing natural cover for their search for the Hidden Moon Demon Cat.

Based on the descriptions of the Hidden Moon Demon Cat that Wu Tong had organized for him, combined with his own judgment of the environment, Wu Tu guided the group toward the depths of a dark, dense forest.

Just as everyone held their breath and waited, a slender Hidden Moon Demon Cat with deep-colored fur silently appeared in their line of sight. Its eyes flickered with silver-blue light, like two miniature bright moons, and it was watching this group of uninvited guests warily.

They had found the target!

"That's the one!" Wu Tu barked in a low voice, then signaled for everyone to get ready. Under his command, the team swiftly spread into formation and surrounded the Hidden Moon Demon Cat in the center.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Relying on its agile movements and invisibility, the Hidden Moon Demon Cat darted freely through the woods, causing everyone no small amount of trouble. But under Wu Tu's command, they gradually found the rhythm for dealing with the Hidden Moon Demon Cat. Mu Lan used the gentle moonlight emitted by the Moon Rhythm Radiance Lyre to slowly weaken the demon cat's vigilance.

At last, through a clever bit of coordination, Lu Feng successfully caught an opening in the Hidden Moon Demon Cat's defense and heavily injured it with one strike. Mu Lan then drove her dagger into the Hidden Moon Demon Cat's body. As the demon cat's Soul Power dissipated, a Spirit Ring shimmering with faint purple light slowly rose and hovered before Mu Lan.

Under everyone's gaze, Mu Lan took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Her Martial Soul seemed to sense the summons and produced a powerful resonance with the Spirit Ring. As a gentle radiance wrapped around her entire body, Mu Lan's Martial Soul—the Moon Rhythm Radiance Lyre—underwent a subtle change in that instant. It seemed even more dazzling, containing even greater power.

When the light faded, Mu Lan slowly opened her eyes, which shone with unprecedented confidence and brilliance. "It worked! My ability to cultivate with the help of moonlight has increased by thirty percent." Though her tone was calm, it could not hide her excitement. Thinking back to Wu Tong's words at the hotel, her heart filled with gratitude.

When everyone heard this, they looked at one another and smiled, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride. They had successfully proven the correctness of the Martial Soul Evolution Theory. To have taken part in it, to have witnessed the emergence of a Martial Soul Evolution Theory significant enough to be recorded in history—naturally, they could not help feeling proud and honored.

Just as everyone in the Soul Hunting Squad was immersed in joy.

Wu Tong, after completing a full day of study, walked out of the academy.

Today was the day Wu Tong's share of the profits arrived. As soon as he received his portion, Wu Tong planned to go to the Seven Treasure Pavilion in the city and buy a Storage Soul Tool. After all, he never wanted to experience something like what had happened a few days ago ever again.

Storage Soul Tools, though extremely expensive, were also exceptionally practical auxiliary tools for Soul Masters. They could greatly ease a Soul Master's daily life and battle preparations, so many Soul Masters desperately wanted one. Yet their steep price stopped people in their tracks.

Wu Tong, however, was not among those people. The profits Wu Tong received this time amounted to a full three hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. Buying a Storage Soul Tool would be more than affordable.

The Seven Treasure Pavilion was a well-known shop in the city, a force belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of the Upper Three Sects, and a store under the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce.

Inside it were displayed all kinds of rare and precious treasures, from everyday items to battle weapons, from ordinary works of art to Soul Tools. It truly had everything one could ask for.

The moment Wu Tong stepped inside, he was not drawn in by the dazzling array of goods. He locked directly onto his target—the Storage Soul Tools.

Wu Tong called over a clerk and asked, "Does the Seven Treasure Pavilion currently have any Storage Soul Tools?"

The beautiful clerk wore a smile and said gently to Wu Tong, "Esteemed guest, our branch received a batch of Soul Tools just a few days ago. Among them are the Storage Soul Tools you require. Please follow me."

The clerk led Wu Tong toward the second floor.

After entering the second floor of the Seven Treasure Building, Wu Tong saw all kinds of dazzling Soul Tools before him, each placed inside display cases. Faced with such a grand scene, he could not help feeling somewhat shaken.

While Wu Tong was admiring the various Soul Tools, the clerk who had already left returned. In her hands were three pieces of jewelry: a bracelet, a pair of earrings, and a ring.

"Esteemed guest, please have a look. Each earring in this pair has three cubic meters of storage space. Together, the two have six cubic meters. The selling price is one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"This ring has eight cubic meters. The entire ring is made of Mithril, making it difficult to damage and suitable for long-term use. The selling price is one hundred forty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

"As for the bracelet, its appearance was designed by a jewelry Master. It is beautiful on the outside, made from four interwoven silver chains. On each silver chain are two gemstones, one black and one white. The white gemstone's space is small, only one cubic meter, but it can store living creatures. The black gemstone's space is larger, with two cubic meters, but it cannot store living creatures.

"In total, there are eight gemstones, adding up to twelve cubic meters, four of which can store living creatures. The selling price is two hundred forty thousand Gold Soul Coins."

The clerk introduced the details of the Soul Tools, but Wu Tong listened absentmindedly. From the moment the clerk had appeared, his gaze had been fixed on that bracelet.

The main body of the bracelet was formed from four delicate silver chains woven together. These chains were either finely entwined or lightly interlaced, creating a clear layered visual effect. It displayed a complex beauty without losing a sense of simplicity.

Both ends of each chain were ingeniously connected to a small pendant, and each pendant was inlaid with gemstones. One black and one white, their luster was warm and smooth, dignified and elegant.

The moment Wu Tong heard that this bracelet could store living creatures, the desire that had already been stirring in his heart could no longer be restrained.

"I'll take this bracelet. Charge the card. This is my Gold Soul Card."

Wu Tong directly took out his Gold Soul Card and handed it over, then picked up the bracelet and wrapped it around his left wrist.

The exquisite bracelet paired with his fair wrist made Wu Tong as a whole give off the feeling of a refined young gentleman as gentle as jade, highlighting an air of nobility.

Looking at the bracelet on his wrist, Wu Tong liked it more the longer he looked. "The I Ching: Xi Ci says: 'Therefore, in the Changes there is Taiji, which gives birth to the Two Forms.' The Two Forms are the yin and yang forms of Taiji. Your black-and-white color scheme also secretly accords with the principles of yin and yang, so you shall be called 'Taiji.'"

After buying the Soul Tool, Wu Tong used the remaining Gold Soul Coins to buy some wilderness survival equipment as well. It had to be said that the Seven Treasure Pavilion's wilderness survival set was truly of very good quality.

After finishing his purchases, Wu Tong stored the equipment inside the Taiji Bracelet. Then he left the Seven Treasure Pavilion.
