I am an Eldritch Entity

Contrary to how he always acted, Eryndor first went through the treasures this time.

Hmm…two Qi Gathering pendants. Is it common among disciples?

No… these are a bit different.

Eryndor held one of the two Qi Gathering pendants in his hand and carefully felt the effects.

Well, it is of a higher quality than the one I picked up from the room of the last of the three disciples I killed.

There is also one additional function.

If the previous Qi Gathering pendant only gathered Qi around the user, then these allowed one to absorb Qi faster into their bodies.

This is good stuff.

Unfortunately, it looks like the effects don't stack, so I'll have to sell the other one.

Eryndor kept that aside and gazed at the second treasure.

It was the Shadowsilk Daggers, the one which Lyra was using.

Hmmm, I can replace my current daggers with this one. They have a Qi disruption effect upon contact, which means Qi coating will be less useful, I can easily tear through that.

Eryndor narrowed his eyes, content with the gains he made just with this one weapon. The others would all just be extra loot in his eyes.

The third treasure was a Clearheart pendant.

It calmed the user's mind to help them practice cultivation or cultivation arts more effectively.

Of course, it wasn't limited to that.

Calming a person's mind could help them in even more ways like in alchemy, smithing, and even to make or research array formation.

All things considered, it was an item with variable uses.

Next treasure was a set of weighted training bands.

They weren't traditional ones in the sense that they didn't normally have any weight.

They were extremely light, but once he input Qi into them, their weight increased.

For convenience purposes, they had several levels which increased weight in batches.

So a user didn't have to fine tune their input of Qi themselves to have the same weight.

They could simply choose a weight, and input the required Qi.

The next treasure was a Windshroud Cloak.

Apparently, it was the one Lyra was using.

It blurred the movements of the user when they were moving quickly, making tracking difficult visually.

Lyra was rich in terms of treasure, Rin was rich in terms of pills.

Even though he hadn't yet gone through the pills, he knew this since he had still personally looted their bodies.

After going through a few more insignificant treasures, he glanced at the several bottles of pills he had segregated.

Alright, time to see these.

There were two bottles of Qi Gathering pills at level three in total, which was awfully low, but reasonable given their circumstances.

Since both of them were at Foundation Building level, it was only logical that they'd use level three Qi Gathering pills.

Apart from that, there was an Ironveil amulet.

He didn't know the exact name of the treasure since the one he had in mind was what it was called at level two.

He didn't know if it was called the same at level three.

As to how he knew that it was at level three?

Because it was rare that a Foundation Building realm disciple would be roaming around with a level two treasure.

It wasn't just the case with just Foundation Building, but with all the level of disciples.

Unless the treasure had some special effect, like a time based, spatial effect, karma based, causal based, or some other abstract based concept, then it was more likely to be kept just for the sheer amount of value it had.

Anyway, the Ironveil Amulet was a treasure which automatically deployed a shield when the damage to a user exceeded a certain level.

Why didn't they use it?

Eryndor furrowed his brows.

He went through the array formation engraved on it.

This was another way to use array formation, such that it would be even more portable and easy to use than the inscription plate.

Eryndor then went through the other treasures once he determined that the Ironveil Amulet had a problem.

He wasn't really an expert, but even someone at his level could determine that there was a problem when nothing was happening even after inputting his Qi so many times.

The next in line was a lantern of some kind.

Sadly, his enormous knowledge base didn't cover this thing.

He had zero idea of how this thing worked.

Do I try it out?

He wondered briefly.

He thought for a moment and decided that he would.

That was the last treasure.

He heaved a sigh.

He then moved on to the bottles of Qi.

This time, he decided that he wouldn't count the exact number of the pills he already knew.

Let me see what new stuff they have.

Eryndor moved aside all the familiar bottles and picked up one of the bottles which had pills in shape and color he didn't recognise.

As soon as he read the label, his eyes lit up.

It was a False Aura pill!

There wasn't even any need to explain with such a name.

It allowed the user to have an aura which didn't correspond to their level.

Normally, such pills could only allow one to simulate the aura of a cultivator.

However, he had seen pills back on Earth which could even allow one to simulate the aura of a beast or someone of the other power system.

Does that mean we indeed have a few advantages due to the sheer amount of variability we have?

Eryndor felt a tiny amount of hope returning as he felt the negativity fade a little.

Regarding the condition of the Earth, he had always felt that the situation was hopeless.

Even though he had seen the strength of Dr. Kirchoff, what guarantee was there that the Eight Outer Domains didn't have any such member?

It could be entirely possible that they had a few strong members even amongst them.

Even if we count that they only have a single person. If all Eight Outer Domains have one person, that's still more than what Dr. Kirchoff could handle.

And what is to say that Dr. Kirchoff is indeed on our side?

Up until now, he had indeed bestowed humanity with a lot of things, but doesn't that make things all the more suspicious?

Eryndor heaved a sigh of relief.
