Jade Drive

A Jade Drive was an item that could record various information and images and was extremely convenient as it was portable and could store large amounts of information, making it preferable to use in place of a book or scroll.

This kind of thing was not particularly common in the South of Long Xiang (where most of the story took place initially), because in the South, people would usually use paper books or scrolls that were made from special materials, so they didn’t have to worry that it would get damaged.

Jade Drives can be bought and sold and seems comparable to an e-book or a thumbdrive. Xian JiLou for example stored all their information-for-sale in such drives.

Jade Drives can also be sealed for privacy, such as the Jade Drive owned by powerful Rainbow Mage Dan Qing. Only certain people with the skill level or knowledge would be able to undo the seals on such Jade Drives in order to access the information stored within.
