Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 115 An Astounding Discovery, A Great Gain! [Please Subscribe]

It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

After the Silver Lightning Python charged into the school of poisonous spiny fish, it was almost unstoppable.

It doesn't attack a specific venomous stickleback, but instead uses its head to ram and its tail to lash out, thus scattering the fish in the school.

At the same time, streaks of silvery-white lightning shot out from its mouth, striking the more powerful venomous spiny fish in the school.

After dealing with the stronger venomous fish, the ordinary venomous fish were helpless against its tough dragon scales, whether by using magic attacks or biting.

In less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of venomous sticklebacks were either dead or stunned, all lying belly up and unable to fight anymore.

Throughout the entire process, Zhou Chun did not fire a single shot, remaining a complete spectator.

And they were the kind of onlookers who were completely dumbfounded.

"Awesome, bye-bye!"

"It seems I need to reassess your abilities!"

"You're really something!"

Once the dust settled, Zhou Chun, seeing the Silver Lightning Python wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue to curry favor with him upon its return, couldn't help but reach out and stroke its round head, his face filled with surprise and admiration.

Today's impressive battle truly broadened his understanding of the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai's strength.

And it deserves a huge thumbs up for this brilliant battle!

A powerful physical defense, coupled with lightning magic that is amplified in water.

The combination of these two is truly a deadly weapon against those gregarious monsters in the water who are not known for their individual strength.

This reminded Zhou Chun of a certain type of science popularization program he had watched in his previous life.

The powerful piranha swarm, capable of devouring even ferocious great white sharks and crocodiles, was easily subdued and became food for the electric eels.

What he witnessed today was undoubtedly very similar to that situation.

Perhaps it's not that the Silver Lightning Python is too strong, nor that those poisonous spiny fish are too weak, but rather that one thing is just the right one to subdue another!

In light of this, Zhou Chun had new ideas about how to control the Silver Lightning Python to fight the enemy in the future.

Of course, we'll have to find another opportunity to test that later.

Now...

He glanced at the dead or unconscious venomous fish, picked out a few that were powerful in life and put them into his storage bag, then continued to let the Silver Lightning Python carry him forward.

As Zhou Chun ventured deeper into the underground water cave, he did not see another venomous spiny fish.

After he had gone deep into the underground water cave for about twenty or thirty miles, the view suddenly opened up before him, and he found himself in a hollow underground cave.

This underground cave is half above the water, and inside there is a rocky beach that can be used as a foothold. Behind the rocky beach, a damp land passage can be seen, but its destination is unknown.

In one corner of the cave, Zhou Chun discovered some small, yet-to-be-demon, venomous spiny fish, as well as fish eggs stuck to the stone wall.

This appears to be a hatching and rearing site for a group of venomous spiny fish.

If it hadn't been determined back then whether or not the venomous sticklebacks could be farmed, Zhou Chun would definitely be very happy to see this.

But now he could only shake his head, showing no intention of taking those things.

After lingering his gaze on the land passage for a while, he went ashore with great curiosity.

After getting ashore, Zhou Chun first sniffed the air.

The cave smelled somewhat rotten and foul, likely from the accumulated excrement of a group of venomous spiny fish in the water.

While the air inside the land passageway wasn't exactly fresh, it was at least not stuffy.

This indicates that the passage is not a dead end, but rather connects to an opening in the ground.

Having confirmed this, Zhou Chun felt reassured and let the Silver Lightning Python lead the way.

He walked along the passage for about two or three miles before another underground cavern appeared ahead.

Ok?

Zhou Chun's expression shifted, and he suddenly looked towards a corner of the underground cavern.

In that corner, a human skeleton was leaning against the stone wall, half-sitting on the ground, covered in cobwebs, and looked like it had been dead for a very long time.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes, immediately reached into his storage bag, took out a "Sunstone" and held it in his hand, then slowly walked towards the skeleton.

After reaching within a few feet of the skeleton, Zhou Chun stopped, then made a hand seal to summon a gust of wind that dispersed the spider webs on the skeleton and blew the bones off to the ground.

Then, using the light emitted by the "Sunstone", a storage bag covered in mud and dust on the ground came into Zhou Chun's view.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he reached out and grabbed the storage bag.

Because countless years had passed, the original owner's divine imprint inside the storage bag had long since dissipated, and the storage bag itself was even somewhat dilapidated and no longer suitable for continued use.

Fortunately, it can still be opened.

Zhou Chun opened the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense, and was immediately slightly surprised.

Because the storage bag was surprisingly spacious, even larger than the one he was currently using, which he had obtained from the missionary of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

This basically proves that the original owner of the storage bag was definitely at the Foundation Establishment stage, or even higher.

Upon discovering this, Zhou Chun didn't dare to look any longer and hurriedly emptied everything out of the room.

A pile of things fell to the ground, reaching a height of two or three feet.

Many of them are jade boxes used to preserve sacred objects, while others are books and classics.

Of course, magical artifacts and spirit coins are also indispensable.

However, when Zhou Chun opened those jade boxes with high expectations, he was quickly disappointed.

Perhaps because of the passage of time, all the medicinal herbs inside the jade box had withered and lost all their medicinal power, becoming worthless.

Of the twenty or thirty jade boxes, only two items were usable.

One of the items was a palm-sized pentagonal token. Zhou Chun recognized its appearance; it was the "Heavenly Spirit Token" he had seen at the underground auction, and it was also a usable Class C token.

The other item was a silver-white metal foil that resembled dragon scales, with intricate and mysterious runes engraved on it.

Needless to say, Zhou Chun already knew the purpose of the "Heavenly Decree".

He had also seen records of the other silver-white metal foil in ancient books.

This thing is a special vessel used by cultivators to record certain precious secret techniques or cultivation methods, and it can be preserved for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without being destroyed.

However, this item requires a special opening technique to read its contents, and Zhou Chun did not find any record of the opening technique inside the jade box.

So he could only put the two items away and turn to look at other things.

Among the other items, spirit coins made up a large portion, totaling more than five thousand!

However, these spirit coins are not the spirit coins issued by the "Moon Wheel Sect" currently used in Yasukuni, but spirit coins imprinted with a dragon pattern.

If the Hualong Sect had reappeared in Jingguo before, Zhou Chun might not have recognized these spirit coins bearing the image of a dragon.

However, as the glorious past of the Hualong Sect is spread, these spirit coins, which were once issued by the Hualong Sect, are gradually becoming familiar to modern cultivators.

After destroying the Dragon Transformation Sect, the Moon Wheel Sect issued a large number of spirit coins in a short period of time to replace and recycle these spirit coins, in order to completely erase the traces of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Now, these spirit coins are very difficult to find in Jing Kingdom, and they are no longer in circulation in the markets.

The spirit coins currently issued and used by the Dragon Transformation Sect do not seem to be this type of spirit coin.

This means that Zhou Chun cannot use the thousands of spirit coins he obtained normally.

After all, if he were to use such spirit coins, let alone whether the market would accept them, even if they did, he would inevitably be investigated by the Qinglian Temple afterward, causing him a lot of trouble.

This result also made Zhou Chun frown and feel very unhappy.

But the thought that these things were practically freebies quickly eased his brow, and he continued to count the remaining items.

Among the remaining items, there are two magical artifacts, both of which are second-tier magical artifacts.

However, apart from one reddish-gold claw-shaped magical artifact that appeared intact, the other tortoise-shell-shaped artifact was covered in cracks and its spiritual light was almost completely gone, making it practically unusable.

It's unknown what kind of fierce battle the deceased went through before his death to damage this magical artifact, which should have been incredibly powerful!

Furthermore, among the pile of things on the ground, Zhou Chun didn't see a single magic talisman, nor even many medicine bottles.

The few medicine bottles that remained were filled with pills that had long since turned into dregs.

In the end, Zhou Chun could only turn his attention to the remaining classic books and volumes.

These books include animal hide books made of animal hide paper, as well as books made of special paper that is particularly resistant to water and fire; none of them look ordinary.

As Zhou Chun read through the books one by one, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he finally felt like he had found a treasure.

Because these classic books are all of great value.

Most of them are ancient texts that record the inheritance of the skills of talisman making, weapon crafting, alchemy, and array formation, covering all four major cultivation skills of immortality.

The other three books are cultivation manuals, which record three cultivation methods that can only be practiced after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. They all appear to be extraordinary high-level items.

There is another book that contains two secret techniques, both of which are powerful techniques that can only be practiced after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!

After sorting through the books, Zhou Chun also found the cultivation notes of the owner of the skeleton.

By reading this cultivation manual, Zhou Chun finally learned the person's identity and why he was there.

It turns out that the owner of that skeleton was actually a missionary of the Dragon Transformation Sect more than 800 years ago, and had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment in his lifetime.

When the Hualong Sect's headquarters was about to be breached, the sect's leaders dug up and packed all the spiritual herbs from the sect's herb garden, and also took out all the original and rubbings of various classics from the sect's library, handing them over to some carefully selected missionaries.

Let them find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement after the main altar is destroyed, and reunite in a safe place to continue the sect's legacy.

When the headquarters of the Dragon Transformation Sect was destroyed, all cultivators above the Purple Mansion stage were being watched closely by the major sects, and no one could escape.

On the contrary, it was impossible to keep an eye on all the large number of missionaries, and some of them eventually ran away.

The owner of the skeleton was one of those who successfully broke through and escaped.

Although he escaped from the Dragon Transformation Sect headquarters, he was severely injured and soon encountered two Foundation Establishment cultivators from cultivation families.

By then, news of the destruction of the Dragon Transformation Sect's headquarters had already spread, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators from the two cultivation families targeted him as prey, launching a joint attack on him.

In the end, although he risked his life to kill one person and seriously injure another, and escaped the pursuit once again, he was already too badly wounded to recover.

So he had no choice but to hide in a nearby underground cave, seal the entrance, and eventually died in the cave.

Before his death, the owner of the skeleton wrote down his experiences in his cultivation notes and hoped that any cultivator who was lucky enough to obtain his belongings would send those books back to the Dragon Transformation Sect, if the Dragon Transformation Sect still existed at that time.

But his hope was clearly unrealistic!

However, considering the mission the other party was carrying at the time, it's normal to have such expectations.

"So these are relics from over eight hundred years ago belonging to cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect! No wonder there's such a large quantity of spirit coins issued by the Dragon Transformation Sect!"

Zhou Chun closed the cultivation manual he had just finished reading, and exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.

Actually, he had already made some guesses when so many spirit coins were first issued, but now his guesses have been confirmed.

Furthermore, by reading the records in the cultivation manual, Zhou Chun also made some guesses about the secret techniques recorded on the metal foil.

If he wasn't mistaken, that thing should contain the most important secret technique of the Dragon Transformation Sect, the "Dragon Transformation Secret Manual".

As for how many of the five layers of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" are inside, we'll only know once it's unlocked.

Unfortunately, the master of the skeleton did not record the method of activation in his cultivation notes, clearly not wanting to reveal such a fundamental secret of the sect to outsiders.

However, Zhou Chun was not too discouraged by this.

After all, the Hualong Sect is still alive and well. As long as this metal foil is in his hands, sooner or later it will be opened by the sect's missionaries or protectors.

Therefore, he quickly mustered his energy and put everything usable from the pile of things on the ground into his storage bag, including the spirit coins.

These spirit coins may not be useful now, but there might be opportunities to use them in the future. Anyway, keeping them won't take up much space.

After packing everything up, Zhou Chun looked at the skeleton on the ground, bowed to it, and then dug a pit to bury it.

Regardless of the circumstances, he inherited the other person's legacy, so it was only right that he bury their remains.

After tidying everything up and making sure nothing was left behind, Zhou Chun glanced at the passage through which the original owner of the skeleton had descended from the ground, then shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​leaving through the ground.

Since no one has come down from the ground to this place all these years, let this place remain as it is!
