However, when Zhou Chun opened those jade boxes with anticipation, he was quickly disappointed.
Possibly because too much time had passed, the various Spiritual Medicines that were stored inside the jade boxes had all withered away, losing all their potency and becoming useless.
Out of twenty or thirty jade boxes, there were only two things that were useful.
One of them was a palm-sized pentagonal token, which Zhou Chun recognized very well. It was the "Heavenly Spirit Order" that he had seen before at the underground auction, and it was also a Class C token that could be used.
The other was a silver-white metallic foil piece resembling a Dragon Scale, inscribed with complex and mysterious runes.
The use of the "Heavenly Spirit Order" did not need to be explained, Zhou Chun already knew of its purpose.
The silver-white metallic foil piece, he had also seen records of such an item in the classics.
This was a special carrier used by Cultivators to record some precious secret techniques or Cultivation Techniques, which could be preserved for thousands of years without damage.
However, to read the information contained within, one needs to master a special spell, and Zhou Chun had not found anything related to such a spell in the jade boxes.
So he could only collect the two items and turn his attention to the other things.
Among the other things, Spirit Coins made up a large part, amounting to more than five thousand!
But these Spirit Coins were not the current ones issued by the "Moon Wheel Sect" in Jingguo Country, they were imprinted with the Flood Dragon Pattern of the Spirit Coins.
If the Dragon Transformation Sect hadn\'t re-emerged in Jingguo Country before, Zhou Chun might not have recognized these Spirit Coins with the Flood Dragon Pattern.
But now, as the once-glorious past of the Dragon Transformation Sect spread, these once-issued Spirit Coins by the Dragon Transformation Sect gradually became known to the current Cultivators.
After the Moon Wheel Sect annihilated the Dragon Transformation Sect, they issued a large number of Spirit Coins in a short period to replace and recall these coins, with the aim of completely erasing the trace of the Dragon Transformation Sect.
To date, it was very difficult to find such Spirit Coins in Jingguo Country, and they were not circulated in the Marketplace either.
Moreover, the Spirit Coins currently issued and used by the Dragon Transformation Sect seemed not to be of this type.
This meant that the several thousand Spirit Coins Zhou Chun had acquired could not be used normally.
After all, even if he were to use these Spirit Coins, setting aside whether the Marketplace would accept them or not, even if they did, he would not avoid scrutiny by the Green Lotus Temple afterward, inviting trouble upon himself.
This result also caused Zhou Chun to frown deeply, feeling quite annoyed.
But considering these items were practically picked up for nothing, he soon smoothed his brow and continued to take inventory of the remaining items.
Among the remaining items, there were two Magic Artifacts, both of second-order.
While a golden-red Claw-Shaped Artifact looked intact and undamaged, the other, a tortoise-shell-shaped Magic Artifact, was covered in cracks, with its spiritual light almost entirely gone. It could be said to be completely worn out.
It was unknown what kind of fierce battle the deceased had experienced before to damage such a seemingly extraordinarily defensive Magic Artifact to this extent!
Moreover, among the pile of items on the ground, Zhou Chun surprisingly found not even a single Talisman, and he also saw very few medicine bottles.
The few medicine bottles that were there contained Elixirs that had already turned into waste.
In the end, Zhou Chun could only turn his gaze to the remaining classics and books.
These classics and books, some made of Beast Skin paper and others crafted from special paper resistant to water soaking and fire burning, seemed to be out of the ordinary.
Zhou Chun looked through them one by one, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter, finally feeling like he had stumbled upon a treasure.
Because these classics and books were all items of great value.
Most of them contained records of the transmission of Talisman Making, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and Formation skills—the four major Cultivation Techniques were all complete.
There were also three classics of cultivation techniques, which contained three kinds of advanced techniques that could only be practiced after reaching the Foundation Establishment phase. They all seemed to be exceptional and of high quality.
In addition, there was another classic that recorded two secret techniques, both powerful techniques that could be practiced only after Foundation Establishment!
After categorizing the classics, Zhou Chun also found the Cultivation Notes of the skeletal remains\' owner.
By reading these Cultivation Notes, Zhou Chun finally learned the identity of the deceased and why they had ended up in this place.
It turned out that the owner of the skeletal remains was none other than a Missionary Envoy from the Dragon Transformation Sect who had lived over eight hundred years ago, with a cultivation level in the latter stages of Foundation Establishment.
When the Dragon Transformation Sect\'s main temple was about to fall, the upper echelon of the sect dug up all the Spirit Medicines from the Medicine Garden, and also took the originals and copied versions of various classics from the Book Collection Pavilion. The collected items were entrusted to carefully selected Missionary Envoys to carry.
They were ordered to find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement after the main temple fell, to gather again in a safe place, and continue the legacy and survival of the sect.
When the Dragon Transformation Sect\'s main temple fell, higher-level Cultivators in the Purple Mansion Phase were closely watched by the major factions, preventing any escape.
On the other hand, the numerous Missionary Envoys could not all be closely watched, and ultimately, some managed to flee.
The owner of the skeletal remains was one of those who had successfully broken out.
However, though he escaped from the main temple of the Dragon Transformation Sect, he was severely wounded and soon encountered two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from cultivator families.
By that time, news of the fall of the Dragon Transformation Sect\'s main temple had already spread, and those two Cultivators from cultivator families treated him as prey, surrounding and attacking him together.
In the end, although he fought for his life to kill one and severely injure another, thereby escaping pursuit once again, his injuries were so severe that he could no longer recover.

He was thus forced to take refuge in a nearby underground limestone cave, blocking the entrance, and ultimately, he perished in this Underground Cave Hall.
Before dying, the owner of the skeletal remains recorded his own experiences in the Cultivation Notes, hoping that the cultivator who was lucky enough to find his relics would be able to return those classics to the Dragon Transformation Sect if it still existed by then.
But such hope was clearly wishful thinking!
However, considering the mission he carried at the time, it was normal for him to have such wishful thoughts.
"So it turns out to be relics from a Cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect from over eight hundred years ago, no wonder there were so many Spirit Coins issued by the Dragon Transformation Sect!"
Zhou Chun closed the Cultivation Notes he had just finished reading, his face showing a sudden realization as he exclaimed.
In fact, when he first discovered so many Spirit Coins, he had already come up with a related suspicion, but now his guess had been confirmed.
Moreover, through reading the records in the Cultivation Notes, Zhou Chun also had a conjecture about the secret technique recorded on the metal foil.
If he was not mistaken, that item probably contained the most important secret heritage technique of the Dragon Transformation Sect, the Secret of Dragon Transformation.
As for which levels of the five-tier Secret of Dragon Transformation it contained, that would only be known after it was unlocked.
Unfortunately, the method to unlock it was not recorded in the Cultivation Notes by the owner of the skeletal remains, evidently not wanting the fundamental secret technique of the sect to be leaked to outsiders.
But Zhou Chun was not overly disappointed by this.
After all, the Dragon Transformation Sect was still being passed down in the world, and as long as he had the metal foil in his possession, there would eventually come a day when he could use the hands of the sect\'s Missionary Envoys or protectors to unlock it.
Thus, he quickly revived his spirits and collected everything that could be used from the pile of items on the ground into his Storage Pouch, not excluding the Spirit Coins.
These Spirit Coins might not be useful now, but there was a chance they would be helpful in the future; after all, keeping them would not take up much space.
After packing and organizing everything, Zhou Chun looked at the pile of bones on the ground, bowed deeply in respect, and then buried them in a dug pit.
Regardless of the circumstances, he had benefited from the deceased\'s legacy, and it was only right for him to give the remains a proper burial.
Having taken care of everything and made sure nothing was missed, Zhou Chun glanced at the passage that the skeletal remains\' owner had used to come down from the surface. He shook his head, extinguishing the idea of exiting through the ground.
Since no one had come down to this place from the surface for so many years, it would be best to leave this site undisturbed!
