"Who cares whose bones they are, we're here for treasure, let's see where the good stuff is?" The Sword Spirit didn't care at all about the bones.

"Isn't it obvious? Besides the skeleton, the whole secret chamber only has the package in its hands, the item must be inside." Lin Tian pointed to the earth-colored package held by the skeleton and said.

Lin Tian examined the material of this package, it looked like tanned leather. Although a lot of dust had accumulated on it, from the side it could be seen that the leather of the package was still intact.

He pried open the fingers of the skeleton, picked up the package; it wasn't heavy. Lin Tian weighed it and estimated it to be about ten pounds.

"Kid, what are you dawdling for, quickly open it and see." The Sword Spirit urged loudly, becoming quite impatient.

"What's the rush? Judging by the shape of this package, it's neither round nor square, it certainly isn't a weapon, probably not something great either." Lin Tian said discontentedly, but still opened the parcel.

"A stone?" Lin Tian and the Sword Spirit exclaimed at the same time, but rather than delighted, they were a bit disappointed.

After opening the package, there was a fist-sized stone, black and lusterless, with an uneven surface, like a stone fished out of coal dust.

"Is this the good stuff you were talking about?" Lin Tian said grumpily. He thought that something stored in such a hidden place should be a peerless treasure, but it turned out to be just a stone.

From this stone, Lin Tian didn't sense anything special, at least there was no energy fluctuation.

"I don't know either. The strange feeling just now was fleeting, seemed familiar, but now that feeling is gone. Look closely again, did this person leave any sort of final words?" The Sword Spirit was also puzzled.

Lin Tian took the stone out, placed it on the ground, and carefully examined the inside and outside of the package, and indeed discovered several lines of fine text.

The text was in Old English, but it was no obstacle for Lin Tian. He read it and deduced the general meaning, roughly saying that this stone was an Outer Heaven Meteorite, with special properties. This Blood Clan member had tried to use it to forge weapons while he was still alive but didn't succeed, as no matter what he tried, he couldn't melt the stone.

However, during the burning and tempering process of this Outer Heaven Meteorite, the Blood Clan discovered that the meteorite was slowly changing shape, but when the temperature cooled down, the meteorite reverted to its original form,

The Blood Clan believed that his fire energy was too low-grade to melt the stone or fully activate the meteorite's transformation properties. Later, this meteorite was always carried with him as he searched for a solution.

Lin Tian knew that the Blood Clan never found a solution even until his death, because if he had, this stone would not be here. As for how the Blood Clan died, there was no record in the text.

Based on the subtext, Lin Tian could deduce that this Blood Clan member was likely a swordsmith or something similar. Technically, the life of the Blood Clan is eternal, immortal, but since he had turned to bones, it indicated he probably suffered fatal damage in life and finally hid in this secret chamber to die alone.

Of course, this was just speculation, and probably even Asina didn't know there's a secret chamber here.

"Transformation... transformation..." The Sword Spirit suddenly muttered to itself, repeating a few times, then got excited: "Lin Tian, quickly, use your fire to temper it and see how it reacts."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten." Reminded by the Sword Spirit, Lin Tian's eyes lit up, quickly picking up the black stone from the ground.

Looking at the Outer Heaven Meteorite in his hand, Lin Tian thought for a moment, and a purple flame mark immediately appeared on his forehead. At the same time, a mass of purple flame rose from his palm, instantly encapsulating the black stone completely.

Lin Tian stared intently at the stone in the flames, and after burning with the purple flame for over ten seconds, the stone emitted a faint "sizzle".

"It's happening, that feeling is back." The Sword Spirit suddenly exclaimed.

"What's the use of feeling, only if we can see what it is does it matter." Lin Tian was rather dissatisfied with its excitement.

"Kid, keep burning, you'll discover its special features." The Sword Spirit enigmatically replied.

Lin Tian understood the old eccentric's temperament, who liked to call itself 'this king' and put on air, simply pretending, but it had the strength to pretend.

Pretending with strength is called 'cool', pretending without strength is called 'fool', at least it's not a fool, right? Lin Tian knew it wouldn't say anything, so he continued to burn the Outer Heaven Meteorite with the Purple Fire.

As the burning continued, the sizzle grew louder, like gas escaping from within. As soon as Lin Tian thought of gas, a stream of black gas suddenly emerged from the stone, and as soon as it came out, it was wrapped by the Purple Fire and burned into nothingness, disappearing.

"Right on, keep burning, get all the impurities out to reveal its true form." The Sword Spirit said cheerfully.

Lin Tian couldn't be bothered with this guy, continuing to maintain the fire in his hand, with the first stream of black gas emerging, the second stream soon appeared, still burned into nothingness by the Purple Fire.

As more and more black gas emerged, the uneven parts of the stone surface slowly became rounded, and the stone's black color grew lighter.

From black, it turned to gray, then light gray, finally becoming completely transparent, and the stone's shape also turned into a sphere. At this point, it looked like a crystal-clear crystal ball.

The "crystal ball" reflected the purple of the Purple Fire, refracting a magnificent purple light, looking extremely gorgeous and alluring.

"Kid, your fire is truly formidable, in such a short time you refined the impurities from the stone, which is something the Blood Clan couldn't achieve in its whole life." The Sword Spirit marveled.

"Of course, can the power of fire be inferior? If you saw the peak form of the power of fire, you'd probably be scared silly." Lin Tian proudly declared.

The power of fire, a unique ability of the Nu Ba lineage, in its advanced state can make the land barren for thousands of miles, and its peak state could probably burn a hole in the sky.

"So now, can you tell me, what exactly is this meteorite?" Lin Tian asked again.

"I don't know what people call it today, but in our time, wizards called it a Transformation Stone, and when it absorbs enough energy, it changes shape and can morph according to the caster's mental intention, it's a very magical thing." The Sword Spirit said excitedly.

"Change shape? And change according to the caster's intention? What's the principle behind this?" Lin Tian raised a series of questions because this trait was too bizarre.

The Sword Spirit seemed to ponder for a moment, hesitating, "Actually, I don't know either, even the wizards of our time didn't understand. This kind of Outer Heaven Meteorite, when purified, just had this property. In the Imperial Palace at the time, there was a Court Wizard who refined this kind of meteorite, so that's why I had that strange yet familiar feeling before."
