Chapter 8: Soul Guide, Twenty-four Bridges on a Moonlit Night (2)

  Tang San was still on his first horse-drawn carriage ride, and although it was a bit bumpy, the novelty of it all made him extremely interested. He would occasionally lift up the curtains to look outside at the bustling crowds and various shops. Looking at the outside world, he couldn't help but feel some yearning in his heart. This life, he wouldn't be able to live as simply as he did in his previous life. Who knows what it will be like when he enters society in the future?

  "Little Three, this is for you." The Master's calm voice startled Tang San out of his thoughts. When he looked at the Master, he found that somehow, a beautiful-looking waistband had appeared in the Master's hand.

  The belt is black in color, with dark stripes on it. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell. On the entire belt, twenty-four pieces of white jade are evenly inlaid, each piece of jade is only as big as a thumb nail, and is round in shape. The color is warm and moist, and at first glance, it is a rare and beautiful jade.

  "Thank you, Master." Tang San didn't stand on ceremony and took it over. As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused. In the past when he was at the Tang Sect, he had seen that after the inner sect elders accepted their disciples, they would give them a gift to mark their meeting. The master giving him this waistband should have the same meaning.

  "The master said: 'This belt has been with me for many years, and it has also been buried for many years. I hope that in the future, it will shine with its due brilliance in your hands.'"

  As soon as the belt was in his hands, Tang San felt that it was not ordinary. The belt seemed to have many weak air currents flowing through it, and these air currents were connected with the belt itself as a bridge, with the jade stone as storage.

  "Thirty years ago, I didn't know what it was called when I got it. But based on my many years of research, it can be considered a top-notch soul guide, which is used for storage. As long as you infuse your own soul power into it, each piece of jade stone can provide one cubic meter of storage space. Convenient for storing this kind of item."

  Soul Master, for Tang San, this was another brand new term. Although he still didn't know what the meaning of Soul Master was, Master's explanation had already shocked him greatly.

  Twenty-four jade stones, which means having twenty-four cubic meters of storage space, is a place where I can store twenty-four hidden weapons. Tang San's eyes became hot, and his desire for the Xuan Tian Gong to rise reached an unprecedented level. He wished he had enough internal strength to cultivate the use of various hidden weapons right now. With this waistband, there was no need to worry about storage problems with hidden weapons anymore.

  "Soul Guidance Device, as the name suggests, is an instrument that relies on martial soul power to use. There are very few Soul Guidance Devices passed down through the ages, and most of them do not have any attacking capabilities. Soul Masters themselves also don't need weapons. All Soul Guidance Devices can be described as cultural relics, but how they were created and made has long been lost. This waistband was obtained by me and a few friends during an adventure, and it was allocated to me as compensation. For me, it doesn't have much use, but you should be able to make good use of it later. Why don't you give it a name?"

  Looking at the twenty-four warm jade stones, Tang San almost thoughtlessly recalled a famous poem from his previous life, "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. Let's just call it Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night."

  The master was slightly stunned, his stiff face showing no expression, nodded and said: "It's a good name to hear, it's just a bit long."

  Tang San secretly sighed in his heart, perhaps this was also a memory of his past life.

  Master Dao said: "Using it is simple, just infuse your soul power into that jade stone, and you can feel the existence of its space. If you react quickly enough, the things inside will seem to appear out of thin air. But to master its special properties, you still need to practice more. This is also one of your lessons from now on."

  Tang San understood the importance of practicing well in taking objects from within the Twenty-Four Bridges on a clear moonlit night, and he hastily nodded in agreement.

  Originally, Tang San was still puzzled. Master bought so many things and entered the Hunting Soul Forest to hunt soul beasts with them. Now that he had Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night, these were no longer a problem. Along the way, having nothing better to do, he began practicing controlling the storage of items in Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night under Master's guidance. The items used for practice were those white radishes...

  A 400-mile road, it's neither long nor short, but by the second day at noon, they finally arrived at their destination, the Soul Hunting Forest.

  When Tang San got down from the horse carriage, he found that the Hunting Soul Forest was completely different from what he had imagined.

  In Tang San's impression, a forest should be filled with the breath of nature, quiet and serene, with fresh air and sparse human habitation.

  In front of this hunting soul forest, at least outside the forest, it feels like a huge market.

  Outside the forest, large tracts of houses were being built, or rather, shops. Various hawkers' cries rose and fell in a cacophony, while simple artificial roads crisscrossed through them, the boisterous atmosphere making Tang San furrow his brow repeatedly.

  "There's an order, assemble a team to hunt and kill powerful soul beasts, still short of two people."

  "Hunt and kill Agile Soul Beast, 7-man party quest. Reward: 10 Gold Soul Coins."

  Similar hawkers' cries rose and fell, while most of the shops standing in rows sold weapons, armor, and various food supplies.

  Master brought Tang San into this market that could be considered a small town, "Do you know why I bought everything in Notting City?"

  Tang San shook his head.

  "The master pointed to the prices marked on the shops, 'because once you're here, the prices all go up by at least double. Don't you find it strange that it's so lively outside a forest? It's actually very simple. Where there are soul beasts, there is profit. Especially in these forests where the country specifically raises soul beasts. Soul masters are a wealthy group, and too many people want to make money off of them.'"

  "Teacher, what did those people who shouted 'group' just now mean?"
