Skill Storing Palace

## Description

**Skill Storing Palace** is a place where Heavenly Beasts, that have been sealed by the Light or Darkness Attribute Jewel Masters, are reared in enclosures to be used for Skill Storing (Chapter 15). Heavenly Jewel Masters are highly promoted by the Skill Storing Palace.

Every large empire has a Skill Storing Palace which belongs to the Imperial Family. Only Heavenly Jewel Masters can join it. Once joined, mind shackles will be placed on them with the vow of loyalty to the empire and the empire provides full support for their Physical Jewel Consolidating Equipment and Elemental Jewel Skill Storing (Chapter 11). There are a total of seven large empires that held Skill Storing Palaces within their territories, as well as several rare places such as the Heavenly Jewel Island. Therefore, if an Elemental or Heavenly Jewel Master wants to Store Skills, he or she will need to register at any of these large empires' city's Skill Storing Palace.

The Fei Li Empire's symbol of the Skill Storing Palace is a huge golden Cross Saint Sword, the mark of the Fei Li Empire. The symbols for other empire's Palaces were their respective national symbol.

## Registry

Ordinary Jewel Masters who wish to enter a Skill Storing Palace need to have a Heavenly Jewel Master recommend them. Heavenly Jewel Masters have no such restraint, and may freely enter by showing the purity of their Physical Jewel to the guards to identify them as such (Heavenly Jewel Masters normally do not reveal their Elemental Jewels outside of combat).

On entry Jewel Masters may either register, and report change in ranking. In return they receive an identity plaque and a formal robe. Ordinary Jewel Masters may also register and obtain the plaque, but the prestige of the robe is reserved for Heavenly Jewel Masters. The plaque for Heavenly Jewel Masters is golden embedded in the front with a number of the same gem equal to their Physical Jewel and cultivation Jewel level, alongside a serial number and tattoos. The back is marked with the symbol of the respective Skill Storing Palace's empire. The robe is pure white coloured and has the Heavenly Jewel Master's respective empire's symbol attached on the left breast in quantity based on the cultivation Jewel level as well. Technically this registration is voluntary, but every additional gem on the plaque entitles the Jewel Master to a 10% discount. (Jewel Masters with more than six gems rarely make use of Skill Storing Palaces for reasons unknown.)

The embedded gems are:

* 冰翡翠 Ice Jade – strength Zhou Weiqing
* 糯翡翠 Waxy Jade – flexibility Ming Hua
* 黄翡翠 Yellow Jade – toughness Lin TianAo
* 龙石翡翠 Dragon-stone Jade – agility Shangguan Bing'er
* 红翡翠 Red Jade – coordination Zang Lang
* 墨翡翠 Black Jade – stamina Ah Bao

## Skill Storing

A Skill-Storing Palace hosts a menagerie of Heavenly Beasts for the purpose of allowing Elemental Jewels to attempt to acquire Stored Skills, for a fee. They also provide other services to Jewel Masters.

The Heavenly Beasts are categorized by Attribute.

Within each attribute’s enclosure, the Heavenly Beasts are divided into three stages just like us Jewel Masters, the Shi Stage, Zun Stage and Zong Stage respectively. Entering the Shi Stage region to carry out Skill Storing costs 500 gold coins per try, Zun Stage is 2000 gold coins, and the Zong Stage is 10,000 gold coins.

This is not really expensive, except that the success rate is extremely low - stated at 1%. The success rate for higher stage Zun and Zong Heavenly Beasts is greater, and the skills naturally better, but the cost is also astronomical.

Besides the expense is the cost in time. Each Jewel Master can only make one attempt at Skill Storing a day.

## History

When a Jewel Master cultivates a new Elemental Jewel, they must Store a new Skill for each elemental attribute they possess to obtain the most benefit. Stored Skills are acquired from Heavenly Beasts. This process is simple in theory but hard in practice. One must find a Heavenly Beast with the appropriate attributes, and Heavenly Beasts rarely cooperate. Hence the existence of Skill Storing Palaces.

### Douluo Divine Realm

It is revealed by God King Zhou Weiqing, when he was a teacher at Shrek Academy, the Elemental Jewel Skill Storing was useless to the strong (True Gods). It was because Skill Storing enables beings to only acquire elemental abilities based off innate elemental abilities, therefore, Jewel Masters never possessed their personal elemental prowess on the Boundless Mainland. As a result, Skill Storing Palaces provide convenience for Stored Skills, they also limited the Elemental Jewel Masters' path to the Laws of Attributes.
