The first option, Cloudrunner Carriage, was naturally the best, but it was too expensive, and he didn't really need such a large space since he would be travelling alone.

He didn't intend to make friends, since he had no intention of forming any attachments in the Cultivation world, therefore a single person carriage was more suitable.

There was also the fact that Cloudrunner Carriage was expensive, he could invest the saved amount in other things.

Wind Tread Boat was a no brainer, its stability and speed was dependent on wind currents, and was also open air in terms of resting space. He needed a closed area to have at least some sense of privacy.

He considered the Drifting Reed Platform for its extremely low Qi consumption, making it easy on his pockets, but its initial cost was similarly higher than the majority.

There was also the fact that its original version had an open resting place, only by paying extra could one fit the privacy canopy.

Overall, it went into the range of expensive-for-him as well. Not to mention it wasn't as good as Cloudrunner Carriage for all that he would be paying.

His final two options were Stoneback Ox Cart, and Soilwalker Sled.

Both of them had the same price, good stability, low resource consumption, and decent amount of privacy. So what did he decide on?

Stoneback Ox Cart looks better, so of course I'll go with that.

He initiated the transaction, and used everything he had on him to pay for a part of the full amount.

He then made a round trip back to bring the rest of the items, and bought the transport treasure.

Eryndor was taken to the back of their shop, where they gave him the key to the Stoneback Ox Cart.

He gave away the knuckle duster treasure weapons, mirror of clarity, and the inscription plate, among treasures, and the majority of the pills, while keeping a minimum of one bottle of each.

Yes, he kept a bottle of aphrodisiac as well.

What if I need it somewhere?

He didn't have any impure thoughts, but just some unusual situation.

One never knows, right?

He shrugged, and brought the transport treasure with him as he left the black market after buying one more thing.

A concealment array formation plate.

There was nothing else he wanted to buy.

After exiting, he brought the transport treasure to a secluded place, with dense trees all around, casting an almost complete darkness on the area below their canopy.

He parked the cart there, and went into thought.

I currently have the strength of a mid stage Qi Condensation realm.

Judging from the fact how a mid stage Foundation Building realm is ranked at hundredth rank, I can safely assume that the distance between me, and the strongest among millions of other disciples is of a full realm.

Oh yea, there can also be the situation that that person on last rank has a combat prowess higher than their true realm, just like me.

In that case, the gap between the top hundred and me is more than a realm.

He heaved a big sigh, looking around at the surroundings trees, and the various beasts through his immense Spatial Sight.

Miniature transport treasures would have naturally been good choices since I can quickly minimize and hide it on my body in case someone enters my range, but I can't do such a thing with this one.

Which means I must have enough strength to fend off attackers.

However, my strength only ranks in the top level of mid range at most.

Eryndor recognised that he would have to have a strength of peak Qi Condensation realm to truly be stronger than a majority of the disciples, and a strength at beginner stage of Foundation Building realm to stand at the peak of nearly all disciples except those at the very top like ranked disciples.

He made an O shape of his mouth and blew hot air as he contemplated his next move.

I deliberately held back from selling the majority of the Qi Gathering and Pure Qi pills so that I can increase my realm at a quick pace.

His gaze then travelled to the part of his arm near to the shoulder.

There's also the three orbs. If I get the other two my strength will go through another round of increase.

Time to hunt some disciples I guess.

As he thought of that, Eryndor began setting up the concealment array formation around his transport treasure with the help of the plate.

Just like pills and weapons were the portable forms through which one could use the strength of alchemists and smiths, array formation plate was a portable version of using the strength of an array formation master.

A person didn't need to have knowledge of array formation to set up the plates, they could simply complete a few basic steps, or simply just install low grade Qi crystals at marked spots, and watch the array formation activate.

Eryndor thought while continuing to set up the concealment array formation around his transport treasure.

This way no one will find this transport treasure unless they have an extremely exceptional surveillance or probing cultivation art, or have some mastery in the profession of array formation.

Eryndor was also prepared for this as he had already scanned through nearly all surveillance and probing cultivation arts, looked through the records of the Training Camp and memories of various disciples for disciples who had knowledge in the profession of array formation.

All in all, among millions of disciples, the total number of disciples which had one of the two above conditions, or both, were less than fifty in number.

Now count the probability of one of the less than fifty disciples out of millions of disciples stumbling upon a spot occupying less than five square meters out of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

How fucking low was that probability?

And yes, the campus of Training Camp was THAT large, akin to a medium sized country on Earth.

Naturally, there also existed a reason why he first bought a transport treasure, and only then thought about increasing strength.

One would think, wouldn't it be better to first increase strength and then buy transport treasure?

Then Eryndor wouldn't need to hide his transport treasure and worry about it either.

Well, he had already thought about it.

It was because he was going to kill disciples.

He didn't plan on going back to the main building of the training camp for quite some now.

Since he would be killing disciples, he would naturally expose himself less if he didn't come into contact with others so frequently.

Also, it would be better if he accessed the rooms of those dead disciples after coming back from the trip so the situation would have cooled down a bit.

He was going to kill a minimum hundred people after all.

This wasn't a small matter even by the standards of the Training Camp.

There were evil practice techniques in the cultivation power system, and also evil cultivation arts.

These required one to kill others, be it for their blood, souls, memories, feelings, or even just straight killing.

A signature function of these arts was that they were 'extreme'. Which meant, extreme benefits for extreme disadvantages.

You could get a massive increase in cultivation speed, cultivation realm, combat prowess, and other aspects.

The increase in combat prowess could be an all round increase but could also be in a single aspect depending on the type of cultivation practice technique, or cultivation art.

It could be an increase in offense, defense, movement, surveillance, weapon efficiency, and other things.

However, for all these advantages, the extreme disadvantages also made one consider if it was worth it.

For example - Extreme instability in emotions.

This could mean that your emotions may fluctuate at the smallest of things, like extreme lust even at a simple sight of the opposite gender, extreme greed at the first sight of any currency which your mind had standardized, and so on.

Extreme instability in emotions also meant you could be extreme in only one emotion. Which meant if your lust was unstable, you could turn horny from anything which resembled the opposite gender just a little, or even just looked akin to genital or other parts.

Other extreme disadvantages included reduction in lifespan, unstable cultivation foundation.

Unstable cultivation foundation meant your realm or stage itself might regress if you pushed too hard while in combat or crossed some restriction mentioned in the cultivation practice technique or cultivation art.

Some disadvantages also included loss of emotions, or even memories.

All in all, it was only for people who were desperate for power, or had no idea about the disadvantages until it was too late.

Finally, evil cultivation practice technique had one major disadvantage which almost triumphed over everything else.

Normal cultivation practice techniques could be changed to another one, but evil ones were extremely difficult to change, as if they had stuck to the user.

Mass killing of a hundred disciples easily came under the suspicion of a disciple having obtained some evil cultivation practice.

Even if the Training Camp didn't care about the lives of disciples, it did very much care about growing evil cultivators because they had the tendency to quickly grow out of control.

All organizations except a select few would quickly lead the way if there was even the faintest trace of an evil cultivator's existence.

Eryndor heaved a sigh as he finished considering everything.

Time to grow.
