I am an Eldritch Entity-Chapter 59: Stage three of Qi Gathering Realm

The first box he opened up was full of pills. He recognized one of them immediately.

Those were level one Qi Gathering pills and a few others which he didn’t know about.

I’ll ask Liliana about them later.

Qi Gathering pills helped in faster absorption of Qi into the meridians of the body.

Level one Qi Gathering pills were used by Qi Gathering realm cultivators, while level two Qi Gathering pills were used by Qi Condensation realm cultivators.

It was because the absorption boost provided by a level one Qi Gathering pill was too inefficient for Qi Condensation realm cultivators.

Similarly, a Qi Gathering realm cultivator couldn’t use a level two Qi Gathering pill, as the absorption speed provided would be too high for them.

It might cause their meridians to burst due to not being able to hold in that amount of Qi or the cultivator might try to control the Qi, only to fail and channel it in the incorrect meridian, which would result in Cultivation Deviation.

Did outer space have Qi? Of course it did. The manifestation of four energies took place all over the universe two hundred years ago, not just on Earth.

The second had some body forging materials, ones which would be good for a Martial Artist but could be used by a cultivator as well.

The third box had a few resources which were good for strengthening the mind. Similarly, it would have better results on mentalists, but a cultivator could use it as well.

The fourth had an assortment of miscellaneous pills in case one suffered from backlash during cultivation, was inadvertently poisoned while practicing a poison oriented cultivation art and so on.

Eryndor thought.

The Human Federation sure is generous for these kinds of missions. No wonder my spot was so sought after.

Taking out a bottle of cultivation pill which could be used to boost his practice speed, Eryndor sat back on his bed.

Opening it, he took out a pill and popped it in his mouth.

Immediately, Eryndor began controlling his Qi to circulate it through the circuit of Qi mentioned in the practice technique.

He had already thought about a problem if someone sensed his aura and watched him rapidly climb the ranks of cultivation stages.

He simply didn’t need to reveal himself.

Every time one executed a cultivation art or controlled their Qi to do something, it exposed their aura.

Others could easily judge what power system one was practicing and was at what stage of what realm through this aura.

Naturally, there were cultivation arts to know what level one was at, but the majority easily exposed to the other person that someone was scanning them.

Some were sneaky enough, but they were difficult to practice.

Regardless, just not making a move could only take you so far in keeping your level a secret.

Eryndor wouldn’t be able to do anything if others blatantly scanned him, not to mention if they sneakily did it, but he had thought of a solution sometime ago, just didn’t know if it was valid.

With a thought, he manifested the Sovereign’s Cloak.

Eryndor didn’t know if the Cloak would protect him against scanning, technically, it should be able to. It was supposed to be an all-encompassing shield after all.

The problem was, he couldn’t afford to ask anyone to test it for him, even Liliana. Even after all the good impression he had of her, this was a tad bit too much.

He didn’t know what their reactions would be if they knew he had an aura blocking artifact on him.

Eryndor kept the Sovereign’s Cloak on himself and resumed his practice.

Instantly, he noticed the increase in incoming Qi. When he completed the first circuit just now, the amount of Qi which was absorbed was far more than the usual quantity.

Focusing inwards, he took a bit more Qi than usual and controlled it through the circuit again.

Even higher than before.

This feeling of rapid power up was extremely intoxicating. With each circulation he controlled a bit more Qi, pushing himself beyonds his limits, and circulated them through the circuit.

It was successful, each time.

Even when he went far beyond his limit, he was still able to control the Qi and complete a full circuit without losing control midway and going in another meridian.

I am halfway to stage three.

That was fast. Insanely fast. Half an hour later, the pill’s effects had completely worn off.

Peak of stage two.

This was amazing.

Eryndor didn’t have a problem controlling almost half of the total amount of Qi available in his meridians.

Could it be because I have an ability of Telekinesis?

Eryndor never felt his energy of Consciousness draining when he practiced cultivation, so it couldn’t have been that his innate ability was activated.

Could it be the experience of Telekinesis? Or something else entirely?

Eryndor didn’t have any way to verify it.

Popping another pill into his mouth, he once again began cultivating.

Half an hour later, all the Qi in his meridians began boiling.

Imaginary warmth spread through his body, giving him an almost lifelike illusion of being submerged in warm water.

It was all too familiar compared to the last time.

Suddenly, an illusory sound of a glass breaking rang in his ears as all the warmth disappeared.

Stage three, finally.

Eryndor balled his hand into a fist.

This wasn’t his limit though. There was a lot of time left before he would be back on Earth.

He was eager to find out just how much he could grow.

In the midst of his thoughts, his stomach began rumbling.

Is it time already?

When he tracked all the stuff he did, it turned out it had already been three hours since he had lunch.

It was time to fill his stomach.

Getting up from his bed, he headed towards the dining room.

He notified the staff working that he wanted something to eat.

Just as they gave him a small menu to choose from, his personal device rang.

"We’ve found some beasts ahead. Want to fight?"
