Storage Ring

Biodata

Function and Properties

Storage Rings contain independent internal spaces used to carry items ranging from scrolls and pills to massive magical-beast corpses and puppets. They are normally activated or accessed through Dou Qi or Soul Strength. 40 99 139

High-Level Storage Rings are forged from High-Level Storage Stone. Their internal space is described as virtually limitless, and they can hold many types of items. 38 61

Soul Seal Security

A High-Level Storage Ring can bear a Soul Seal that binds it exclusively to its owner. While the owner lives, others cannot open it; attempts to force entry destroy the ring. 38 61

Xu Haoyu further reinforced Hidden Dragon by concealing a wisp of Yin Yang Dual Flame within its Soul Seal. Anyone probing the ring with Soul Strength without authorization risks a lethal backlash. 63

History

Xu Haoyu first found a Storage Ring on a street roughly half a year before Li Xiantian revealed himself. Suspicious of its origin and worried it might secretly drain his Dou Qi, Xu sealed it inside an iron box rather than wearing it. 2

After Xu Haoyu became a One-Star Dou Zhe, the ring released Li Xiantian's soul remnant. Li Xiantian, formerly known as the Heavenly Wrath Venerable, had concealed himself within it and later used the ring to provide Xu Haoyu with seven Mid-Level Mysterious Rank cultivation methods. 1 2 Li Xiantian periodically slept inside the ring to conserve his fading Soul Strength. 11

Xu Haoyu later obtained a fist-sized piece of High-Level Storage Stone at auction and discovered a Spirit Receptacle within it. After extracting the Spirit Receptacle, he retained the stone and commissioned Elder Zhou Quan to forge it into a High-Level Storage Ring. 40 41 55

Zhou Quan completed the ring after Xu Haoyu earned sufficient Fire Energy through Dragon Abyss's pill business. Xu Haoyu then established its Soul Seal, added the Yin Yang Dual Flame trap, and named the ring Hidden Dragon. 61 63

After absorbing Li Xiantian's Soul Origin, Xu Haoyu claimed Li Xiantian's former Storage Ring. He destroyed its original Soul Seal, refined it with the Yin Yang Dual Flame when it resisted his Soul Strength, and later named it Xuan Xiao. 84
