Stealing is not the only way I can get a spatial treasure, I can even get one through killing.

When his thought reached the point of 'killing', he remembered about the three orbs.

In order to use the three orbs, he would have to fulfill the conditions of two other orbs.

It was to kill ten, and hundred people respectively. He didn't know if the conditions could stack.

Would he fulfill both the conditions after killing a hundred people, or would he have to kill hundred and ten?

No use thinking about it right now.

As Eryndor shook his head, he found his attention being drawn to the three orbs themselves.

It was certainly peculiar.

After obtaining them, he had scanned through the memories of a few disciples and also contemplated upon it himself.

There was no such thing as Mystical Artifact here.

Yes, the Cultivation world had never encountered items which needed Energy of Consciousness.

In fact, they had never even heard of the term Energy of Consciousness.

The case of those three disciples using the three orbs was probably an extremely rare case, or might even be the first case.

He had a good reason behind coming to this conclusion.

Because he just recollected how Mystical Artifacts were formed.

Unlike treasures, they couldn't be forged by smiths. They naturally occurred in the environment, or were byproducts formed after an anomaly died, or was killed.

It wasn't a hundred percent chance that an anomaly would transform into, or leave a Mystical Artifact as a byproduct upon dying though. There were many cases were nothing was left behind, or the corpse of

Mystical Artifacts were tied more closely with anomalies over other extraordinary factors like the emergence of four energies or the invasion of Eight Outer Domains.

For that reason, it was hypothesised that these Mystical Artifacts only began forming naturally on Earth after the emergence of anomalies, and not because of other factors.

The Cultivation world never had anomalies, so there was a high chance that it would also not have Mystical Artifacts forming here, right?

Since there were no anomalies, it also meant that they wouldn't get Mystical Artifacts one would get after killing these beings.

That brings me to the doubt I have in my mind.

How the fuck did those three disciples get the three orbs?

Eryndor realised that this was also a peculiarity in itself. An unknown danger.

I'll have to investigate this as well.

Could it be related to the fact they had found an anomaly, and the setting up of a department to deal with them?

An anomaly has been found, and then the existence of these three orbs which are a Mystical Artifact.

Coincidence? I don't think so. If anything it just further validates the theory of Mystical Artifacts being closely related to anomalies even if they appear naturally in the environment.

Although he was thinking, his body wasn't idle. He kept stuffing all the items in his robe and the inner light armor at any place he could find.

After he had finished stealing—uh oh, borrowing—all the wealth, he found himself bulging at various places.

Even to an untrained eye, it looked like he had hid a great many things inside his robe.

I just need to get to my own room safely.

With that thought in mind, Eryndor looked outside, and came out only after determining the area was empty.

Maybe I'll use my Spatial Sight just for this small corridor?

Eryndor hesitated but squashed that thought nonetheless.

If he got caught, he would just lose this wealth. However, if his Spatial Sight was sensed, then he might even lose his life.

He also couldn't use his surveillance cultivation art as there were sensors placed here.

The first time he arrived, he had tested this place for sensors for Energy of Consciousness, there were none. However, from the memories of the disciples, he still came to know that sensors for Qi existed.

It wasn't as if they couldn't use it at all, however, the sensors would notify the staff once the usage of Qi exceeded a certain level, and Eryndor had zero idea at what level his surveillance cultivation art would be considered.

Yea, no, better not take any risk.

During the next five minutes, Eryndor was in a tense state as he cautiously navigated through the blocks, and hallways.

His nerves were taut the entire time as if they would snap with just a little extra pressure.

He even almost got caught once. Fortunately, the disciple standing in the corridor seemed to be fiddling with something in his hand, and didn't notice Eryndor.

Eryndor took a risk at that point. He adjusted the things on him in such a way that if he walked out, and the disciple looked his way, he would only see a normal posture, gait, and appearance of a disciple as Eryndor had transferred all the 'bulging' points to the blind side.

Phew.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he finally reached his own room.

Carefully, he removed the delicate objects and placed them on the ground of his room, then the rest, and finally made a list of his loot.

Eight bottles of Qi Gathering pills level two.

Thirteen bottles of Pure Qi pills level two.

Twelve bottles of Spirit Strengthening pills level two.

Seven bottles of Body Tempering pills level two.

Even though Body Tempering pills were cheaper than Spirit Strengthening pills, people didn't buy many of them because the process of consuming them was painful, unlike the calm, and even enjoyable process of Spirit Strengthening pills.

Not everyone was like Eryndor who had Passive Regeneration, and could keep the pain to a minimum level.

After putting the bottles of those four pills aside, he picked up another bottle.

There was no name on the bottle, and he couldn't recognise the pills from their shape, texture and color either.

He hesitated for a moment before deciding to open the bottle.

I still have a few Poison Cleansing pills and also my own Passive Regeneration, things should still be in a controllable range even if the pills are problematic.
