Bond Tokens are objects endowed with the power of a bond between summoner and spirit animal. The "secret of bond tokens" was discovered and recorded by Xin Kao Dai.[1]
Source[]
In The Dragon’s Eye, Xin Kao Dai appears to Meilin as a guardian of his bond token, the Dragon’s Eye. When Meilin asks if he remembers how to create bond tokens, he shows her a secret passage in which she finds an ornate jade scroll tube containing the instructions.
