Hidden beneath the Dead Spirit Pond is an underground cave dwelling.
The cave dwelling isn’t large, roughly the size of a regular classroom in a school.
However.
Everywhere here bears the marks of ti’s wear.
Dust is faintly visible, rising and swirling in the air.
The stench of decay almost overwheld Lin Tian’s senses the mont he entered the cave dwelling.
Inside the cave dwelling, there was almost nothing.
A stone bed, a stone table, a few stone stools, and the only thing visible on the wall was a tattered portrait.
Aside from that.
There weren’t any basic living utensils.
However.
There was a human skeleton on the stone bed, sitting cross-legged.
The weathered fabric clung to the bleached bones.
Beside it was a storage bag covered with a thick layer of dust.
Apart from the stone bed.
There was one more item on the stone table.
A stone about the size of two fists and light blue in color.
Despite being covered in dust, a faint blue gleam could still be seen flickering.
"What is this?"
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, staring at the stone, then walked over with a puzzled expression.
He picked up the stone and brushed off all the dust.
The pale blue glow erupted instantaneously, radiating like a giant sapphire.
"Heavenly Transformation Stone! This is a Heavenly Transformation Stone!"
Even with Lin Tian’s ntal state, recognizing this stone made him gasp in a series of exclamations, his face filled with shock and awe.
The Heavenly Transformation Stone before him is incredibly rare and a supre artifact refining treasure in the Cultivation World.
Its function is simple; it can almost lt and combine most Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, making it easier to refine many treasures into weapons.
Previously, Lin Tian was trying to fuse the Lantern Eye obtained from Lantern Mountain into Evil like Xiaotian.
Unfortunately.
The Lantern Eye was too hard!
Even Evil like Xiaotian couldn’t damage it.
If using Samadhi True Fire to lt it, how long would that take?
Given such hardness, along with Lin Tian’s current limited cultivation, trying to lt it with Samadhi True Fire without continuous work for several years or even decades might still not allow refining.
It was uncertain whether the burning would succeed either.
Thus, Lin Tian temporarily gave up.
But having the Heavenly Transformation Stone now makes fusing the Lantern Eye into Evil like Xiaotian a breeze.
"Gaining this supre artifact refining treasure makes this trip worthwhile! Furthermore, this large piece can be used many tis! Truly fortune and misfortune are hard to predict..."
Excitent glittered in Lin Tian’s eyes, his face brimming with joy.
The initial purpose of this trip was to help Xuelu Inn save Xu Xiaoruo.
Unexpectedly, he instead acquired such a significant reward.
Quite satisfied, Lin Tian stored the Heavenly Transformation Stone into the storage bag, then turned his attention to the stone bed.
He walked over, inspected a bit, and found no traps or chanisms, so he promptly picked up the storage bag on the bed.
The Divine Sense imprint on the storage bag had long disappeared.
Delving into it, Lin Tian was stunned.
Inside, there were stacks of hundreds of Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
There were no Mid-grade Spirit Stones, nor were there any Top-grade Spirit Stones, but such a haul was more than sufficient.
Lin Tian took out all the Spirit Stones and tossed them into his own storage bag.
Besides Spirit Stones, there was nothing else inside.
Finally, Lin Tian’s gaze fell upon the leftover skeletal remains.
"What is this?"
It was then that Lin Tian noticed the skeleton’s hand clutching a book so tattered its shape was almost unrecognizable.
Gently, Lin Tian took the book out, revealing a few large characters faintly visible on the title page—Unrivaled True Water Technique!
Further annotations ntioned sothing about the Bai Clan’s Supre Battle Skill!
This was a cultivation technique!
"The Bai Clan? Is it a clan or a powerful Cultivation Family in the Ancient Cultivation World?"
Lin Tian furrowed his brows, speculating silently.
However, the Unrivaled True Water Technique was incomplete, offering only the initial few pages of the cultivation technique, with nothing more afterward.
There was no way to gather additional information.
And.
Judging by its cultivation spell, this technique was rely a Spirit Level Battle Skill, not even worth Lin Tian’s attention.
Nevertheless, Lin Tian didn’t toss it aside but casually put it in his storage bag.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, at the instant Lin Tian retrieved the secret manual, the skeleton sitting cross-legged on the stone bed instantly disintegrated into ash and collapsed.
Lin Tian’s brow twitched, amazed.
But soon, a rumbling ca from above.
The entire underground cave dwelling began to tremble.
Lin Tian’s expression shifted drastically, bewildered by what was happening.
Fortunately, the shaking soon subsided, and peace returned to the surroundings.
Only then did Lin Tian notice there was still another item on the stone bed.
Precisely where the skeleton resided.
Below where it was sitting, there lay a pitch-black compass inscribed with nurous eerie symbols.
The compass bore so cracks.
The new cracks were likely caused just now.
"Could it be that Divine Sense couldn’t be fully unleashed in the Dead Spirit Swamp because of this thing?"
Lin Tian moved forward and picked up the compass, observing the densely packed patterns, his mind racing with speculation.
But the compass was damaged; he attempted several tis to activate it but failed.
"First, let’s head up and see what the situation is! Moreover, Fuu Jiujiu and the others aren’t inherently bad; saving them is convenient!"
Putting away the compass, Lin Tian muttered softly to himself, noticing that the cave dwelling no longer concealed anything else, and turned to leave.
Soon.
Lin Tian erged from the Dead Spirit Pond, returning to the surface.
Fuu Jiujiu and the others were injured, preventing them from leaving; they were all still there.
But the Dead Spirit Swamp had drastically changed.
The boundless miasma of black mist had beco incredibly sparse.
Now, one could see objects thousands of ters away.
Also, the poisonous gas had diminished by more than 90%!
So even ordinary people, with certain outdoor safety precautions, could freely navigate here.
Seeing Lin Tian’s reappearance, Fuu Jiujiu and the others couldn’t help but feel anxious, casting their gaze toward him.
However, they dared not speak, fearing inciting Lin Tian’s wrath!
"Has anyone else co over?"
Lin Tian looked at Fuu Jiujiu and asked coldly.
"No... no one!"
Taking a deep breath, Fuu Jiujiu tried her best to suppress her inner tension and quickly replied, "Just now, the entire ground shook, seeming like an earthquake. Afterward, the fog here almost vanished, becoming what it is now!"
Apparently, the compass was the issue!
That item certainly harbors its mysterious properties!
Lin Tian thought about the damaged compass he had stored in his storage bag.
Nodding slightly to Fuu Jiujiu and the others, he said, "Your life and death are not my concern..."
His words initially stunned Fuu Jiujiu and the others, then brought a surge of joy across their faces.
Clearly, Lin Tian intended to save them!
Indeed.
Approaching, Lin Tian coldly told Fuu Jiujiu, "Tianyi Sect possesses certain techniques; this should be a type of binding spell. I’ll try to break it starting with you! But I can’t guarantee if anything unexpected occurs. Do you dare to proceed first?"
