Chapter 7 Level 2 Cultivator
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the surface of the Sword Sea red.
Six corpses of the Shahua fish-men were scattered on the beach.
Three Shahua fishmen died from piercing their skulls with sharp knives, two Shahua fishmen died from the Holy Slash, and one Shahua fishman died from having his heart shattered by a fist.
After lying in ambush on the beach for a while, and seeing that no more fishmen came ashore, Ronan used a bone dagger to cut off the heads of the Shahua fishmen and gave them to Cuthbert and Ramir.
There are 6 heads in total, which can be exchanged for 180 gold coins with the Tower Stone.
Ronan thought that once he got the gold coins, he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for a long time, and he could go into seclusion to cultivate immortality for a while.
……
Tashi and the others witnessed Ronan and his companions killing the Shahua fish-men while they were still inside the house. Before Ronan and his group even arrived, they had already prepared the gold coins.
When Ronan and his party of four arrived, they handed over a bag of gold coins.
Subsequently, Ta Shi arranged for the fishermen to dismember the Shahua fish-men and then throw them into the sea.
Ronan and his three companions then discussed how to divide the gold coins.
During this operation, each member of the adventure team performed their assigned tasks. Although Ronan killed the most monsters, this was mainly due to his skillful use of magic. Even without Ronan's manipulation techniques, Ramir and Seras were able to kill these Sakawa fishmen.
Although Reverend Cuthbert of Wokkin did not kill a single merman, his divine guidance was essential.
So, after discussing it, they decided to split the 180 gold coins equally.
Ronan then received 45 gold coins.
In Forgotten Realms, a skilled but not outstanding worker earns an average of 30 gold coins per month, while a farmer earns 2-3 gold coins per month.
In one afternoon in Ronan, it was equivalent to more than a month's work for a skilled worker, or one or two years' work for a farmer.
If you don't gamble or visit prostitutes, this money could last you for a while.
Afterwards, the group went to the Elf Song Tavern, where Cuthbert treated them to a meal. They then agreed to meet again in the High Tower district the next day before going their separate ways.
Back home, Ronan opened the control panel.

His "magic tricks and Taoist arts" have added "Gathering Beasts" and "Taking the Moon".
By using [Gather Beasts], one can instantly understand the language of beasts.
The casting range of 【Gathering Beasts】 is the range of the sound that can be heard.
The technique of "taking the moon" has another name: the Mysterious Light Technique.
The Taoist priest's method of revealing the moon on the wall was achieved using the technique of Xuan Guang.
When performing Taoist arts, one can draw a circle at a certain point, and the scene at a certain distance will appear in the circle.
The initial range of this Taoist technique is no more than 40 meters. As more true energy is poured in and the charm value increases, this range will increase.
For example, if you are in the dark on a full moon night, you can draw a circle in your hand to let the moonlight shine into the darkness through the circle, which can be regarded as a "light spell".
When exploring dangerous places such as forests and tunnels, you can also use the Mystic Light Technique to check the situation ahead.
As the level increases, this Taoist technique can be upgraded, and it can even reveal what is happening in a certain place at this moment.
The "Class One Ring - Taoist Arts" now includes the abilities [Mist Formation] and [Rock Leap].
【Mist】is similar to the first-level spell 【Cloud Mist】 from Dungeons & Dragons.
【Cloud Mist】Spell range 120 feet (36.58 meters). Creates a spherical fog with a radius of 20 feet (6.67 meters) centered on a point within the spell range.
Furthermore, the [Cloud and Mist Spell] requires concentration, meaning the caster must maintain the dense fog and cannot simultaneously cast other spells that also require concentration.
However, the [Fog] skill can create a dense fog with an initial area of 200 square meters and any shape.
Moreover, it doesn't require concentration; once the mist is released, it will remain for at least an hour before slowly dissipating.
【Leaping Rock】is a kind of lightness technique. Once this technique is used, one will be as light as a swallow and can easily jump onto the roof and walk on the cliff as if on flat ground.
Moreover, its duration is linked to the internal energy; as long as the internal energy can sustain this technique, one can remain light-body indefinitely.
The "Personal Specialty" now includes the "Cute Head" skill, which also originates from the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques.
With this skill, one will have a premonition of impending disaster.
In addition, he felt a surge of power flowing through his body, and his muscles became more resilient.
In the Dungeons & Dragons game I played in my previous life, leveling up would increase your health.
It seems that this upgrade improved his physical attributes, which is equivalent to increasing his health points, although there is no health point value on the panel for him to view.
After reviewing the data, Ronan carried a wooden bucket out the door and went to the mouth of a stone lion in the East Road area, where clear water was constantly flowing out. He filled the bucket with water.
In this world, there is a god of skill, industry, and construction named Gond, whose followers are mostly blacksmiths, carpenters, engineers, and inventors.
The Baldur's Gate was home to a group of Gonde believers who invented many tools and facilities to help with production and to make life easier for the citizens.
One of them is the water diversion system.
The Gond followers used this water system to divert water from several springs around Baldur's Gate to various districts.
In the East Road district where Luo Nan lives, there are five such springs, providing residents with clean water.
Some of the wealthier residents were even able to install springs in their homes, so they no longer had to travel far to fetch water.
Ronan returned home, boiled water, and used a coarse cloth soaked in hot water to wipe his body.
Cultivating immortality and refining one's qi requires calming the mind and entering a meditative state. Therefore, he needs to cleanse his body to make it dry and clean so that he can be more focused when practicing.
After drying himself off and changing into clean, loose clothes, Ronan sat on the bed and began practicing the "Zhou Tian Yin Qi Jue" (a method for cultivating Qi through circulation).
The "Zhou Tian Yin Qi Jue" is an orthodox Golden Elixir Dao.
Using oneself as a furnace, the energy of heaven and earth as medicinal ingredients, and breathing as the furnace fire, one refines elixir in the dantian.
The first step of the "Zhou Tian Yin Qi Jue" is called "An Lu Li Ding".
This step involves first sensing the location of one's dantian and the presence of surrounding energy, and then using one's mind to guide the energy into the meridians.
Once this step is completed, the body becomes like a furnace for refining medicine, hence the name "setting up the furnace and establishing the cauldron".
Ronan sat cross-legged on the bed, palms facing upwards, eyes half-closed, sensing the location of his dantian as instructed in the manual.
Before long, he could feel a void deep in his lower abdomen, where a warm current seemed to be surging.
"This must be the dantian."
Ronan hadn't expected to be able to sense his dantian so quickly.
In his previous life, he had also tried to cultivate internal alchemy, but no matter how he cultivated, he could not sense the location of his dantian.
After sensing his dantian, Ronan tried to connect with the surrounding energy with his mind.
He has a charm level of 13 and has previously used Taoist magic, so he is naturally able to sense the energy around him.
So what he needs to do now is try to connect with the energy around him using his mind.
