I am an Eldritch Entity

Chapter 259: A relatively safe way



It was currently night in the cultivation world.

From what Eryndor knew, there was no such concept as a planet here.

It was just one big realm where everyone lived together.

Where did the light in the day come from? About gravity?

No one asked these questions, or at least, he hadn't seen them being asked in the memories of these disciples.

Since he had arrived when it was daytime here, worked for a few hours, and then slept for around four hours, it was now night time.

That hadn't stopped him though.

Even though the average number of disciples active at night was lesser than the daytime, there were still people moving about.

He didn't need to worry about the counter not being active either.

Eryndor walked towards the corpse of the massive snake.

Its scales shimmered under the moonlight, completely still.

His Spatial Sight was active, making sure there was no one around.

There was a possibility that it might have been a trap, but since his Spatial Sight didn't pick up anything, he carefully approached the snake.

After about a few moments though, his eyes narrowed.

He looked at the marks on the scales of the snake.

They were the same marks he had inflicted with his dagger on the snake he fought in the daytime.

This is the same snake?

Through an educated guess, he came to the area where its baby was supposed to be and flipped over the snake.

There was a big gaping wound which exposed the entire inner structure of the snake.

Oh, it's been taken out. Or did the baby eat its way out?

Eryndor didn't want to guess.

He approached the head of the snake and to his relief, found that its back row teeth were intact.

Just like how claws were a requirement for the counter to mark your mission related to the six legged scaled monkey as completed, for the iron armored anacondas, it was a set of back row teeth.

My mission was completed just like that eh?

Before beginning to remove the parts which were useful, he carried the heavy snake to a different area.

After all this was the swamp. It was the habitat of iron armored anacondas, a species which would even consume its own kind.

There was also the fact that other disciples who took on the mission to hunt these beasts would also arrive here, because despite being so far, it was still the closest among all living places of iron armored anacondas.

Eryndor would have to fight other disciples if they saw this corpse.

After he was sufficiently far away, he put the corpse down.

Despite being so heavy, Eryndor was still able to carry it since he himself was quite strong as of now.

The boost he got from breaking through to the Qi Condensation realm was quite a significant one.

His current physical capability was enough to carry a majority of beasts at the Stable realm.

After putting it down, he took out the daggers and began processing the corpse.

As he reached the gall bladder of the snake, Eryndor thought back to the idea he had about entering the Bureau of Anomaly Control.

Alchemist.

After coming back from the trip to outer space about a mission related to an eldritch entity, one of the rewards he had chosen for himself was a cauldron.

Even though he had never made a pill, he had read plenty of information about alchemy which he could get his hands on.

He had memorised the uses of a lot of plants and different parts of the beasts which could be used in alchemy.

There were even some minerals suitable to be concocted into a pill.

Based on the terms written by them, it can be seen that they need an alchemist even if they have a very basic level of skill.

Can it be inferred from that that alchemist are in a very high demand?

I mean, yea they would obviously be, but that requirement feels a bit weird.

A big department like that couldn't cultivate their own alchemist?

Or are alchemist really THAT rare?

Eryndor was thinking along this train of thought because back on Earth, even though alchemists were rare, it wasn't to this extent.

It could be seen from the fact that even a student like Eryndor could find information about it and learn how the various related things.

It was only the pill recipes which weren't widely circulated. However, it wasn't as if they were tightly controlled either.

Big organizations and families all had them, and many times they also contributed a few pill recipes they developed to the Human Federation.

In order to save humanity, things which wouldn't be possible in peaceful times were all quite everyday occurence, that included both the good and the bad.

Well, I also have a very good control over my Qi.

I've heard that it is one of the most important requirements.

Coupled that with my accumulated knowledge, I think I have a high chance to enter this way and it's even safe.

For this path, my current goal should be to find a pill recipe.

As he finished taking out all the useful things from the snake, Eryndor walked to another section of the forest as he summarized his current goals regarding the Bureau of Anomaly Control.

Increase my realm.

Increase my fighting efficiency.

Search for resources in the wild.

My Spatial Sight can bypass a lot of normal protection, so I should be able to find at least a few.

I mean yea, over the countless years, disciples would've already searched the entire area, but some resources should be recurring in nature right? I can find those.

My fourth goal should be a pill recipe so I can practice alchemy.

I don't have a cauldron either, but fuck it, I'll see to that later.

As he walked to another sufficiently deep and secluded area of the forest, he took a deep breath.

It was time to start doing what he was here for.
