Chapter 39 Qi Refining Level 9
Ronan opened the lid, and immediately a plume of white steam rushed up, heading straight for the basement ceiling.
The energy dissipated after hitting the ceiling, vaguely forming the shape of a dragon and tiger fighting.
"Could this be the reason why the elixir is called the Dragon-Tiger Elixir?"
Ronan shifted his gaze from the ceiling to the alchemy furnace.
On the tray in the pill-condensing area, there are three golden-red pills, each with rings of pill patterns resembling tree rings, making them look like works of art.
Ronan was surprised that he could successfully refine pills on his first attempt, which showed that he had a good talent for alchemy.
"If I were to transmigrate to a world where cultivation reigns supreme, I would undoubtedly achieve great things."
As Ronan thought about it, he used pliers to pick up the tray.
According to the "Heavenly Book", one furnace of pills yields three pills.
He put the pills into a glass jar and then left the basement.
After entering the bedroom, he took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the bed, opened the lid of the glass jar, and picked up a pill from it.
Looking at the pill filled with heavy metals, Ronan hesitated again.
But he quickly came up with a plan: he would surround the pill with his true energy and send it into his stomach, and if he found anything wrong, he would immediately spit it out.
Then, he opened his mouth and placed the pill on his tongue.
In an instant, a bitter, metallic taste came from his tongue.
"This is indeed a heavy metal pellet."
Ronan thought for a moment, then channeled his inner energy from his dantian to envelop the Dragon Tiger Pill.
Then, something amazing happened.
His true energy, saliva, and Dragon Tiger Pill were mixed together.
A rich medicinal power emanated from the Dragon Tiger Pill.
His saliva and true energy flowed throughout his body.
The medicine invigorated him.
At the same time, he felt his blood and vital energy circulating faster, as if a river had burst its banks and was surging forward.
He didn't consciously breathe in or out, yet the surrounding magical energy flowed towards his body.
"The Heavenly Book" truly lives up to its reputation!
Ronan inwardly praised it, and then used his true energy and saliva to guide the pill into his throat, and then down his esophagus into his stomach.
Instantly, under the influence of his true qi and gastric juices, the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Pill spread even faster, surging towards his limbs and bones like a torrent.
Ronan, unwilling to waste the medicinal power, immediately activated the Zhou Tian Yin Qi Technique to refine the medicinal power.
The elixir gradually shrank, transforming into medicinal power that traveled towards Ronan's meridians.
Ronan circulated his inner energy, repeatedly channeling it through his meridians.
boom!
Suddenly, Ronan felt a thunderclap on his Baihui acupoint, followed by a waterfall-like cascade.
The message immediately came to mind.
[You have consumed the Dragon-Tiger Pill, greatly accelerating your cultivation speed. Your current cultivation speed far surpasses anything you could have achieved with other medicines, and your cultivation realm has been elevated.]
[Qi Refinement Level 7 → Qi Refinement Level 8]
[True Qi circulates through your meridians, nourishing your motor nerves and increasing your agility by 1 point.]
Agility 18 → Agility 19
Having been stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for some time, I finally broke through today.
Ronan was invigorated and continued his training.
……
A month has passed.
Nothing much happened this month except for my cultivation practice.
Over the past month, he has turned down numerous mission invitations of various kinds, including escorting convoys to other cities, exploring the Underdark, exploring dungeons, exploring the Cursed Lands of Shadows, collecting creeping roots, assassinations, and more.
During the mission:
Although the nine tasks were not dangerous, the time and money required were disproportionate, so he refused them decisively.
Although the six tasks could earn him a lot of money, all in four figures of gold coins, he felt it was dangerous and, after some hesitation, refused them.
He thought to himself that he was a cultivator of immortality and would have a long lifespan in the future, so there was no need to take any risks.
There are three more missions, all of which are assassination missions. The person who issues the mission will only reveal who they want to assassinate after accepting the mission.
Ronan didn't know whether the person he was supposed to kill was a good guy or a bad guy, nor did he know how strong the person was, so he refused.
His favorite task was to kill monsters that were not very intelligent and were about the same level as himself.
In this way, you can both make money and gain experience.
In addition to declining mission invitations, he also declined some party invitations.
As he made more and more friends in the professional circle, he received more and more invitations to parties.
One day, when he went to the witchcraft general store, the Typhoon girl Kayla said that the Druid camp wanted to invite him to a gathering.
Ronan thought about it and felt that going back and forth would be a waste of time, so he declined.
Another day, he met Reverend Cuthbert of Woking in the Elf Song Tavern.
During his time there, Cuthbert met some adventurers at Baldur's Gate, and they were planning a party.
Cuthbert invited the monk Ramil, who accepted when he heard that he could eat and drink for free.
Seras was invited, but Seras did not go.
Ronan was the last person he invited.
Ronan did not hesitate and refused outright.
He felt that the gathering was a waste of his time, and that it would be better to cultivate himself.
This month, aside from eating, drinking, and relieving himself, Ronan spent all his time cultivating.
For the past month, he has not lit the furnace to refine pills.
He had not yet fully refined the medicinal power of the three Dragon Tiger Pills.
On this day, just as he was about to finish refining the last Dragon-Tiger Pill, he broke through again.
Through your tireless cultivation, coupled with the aid of elixirs, your cultivation level has improved.
[Qi Refinement Level 8 → Qi Refinement Level 9]
[Your charm, already on the verge of legendary status, had reached a point where further improvement seemed impossible. However, you embarked on the path of cultivation, and the Zhou Tian Qi Gui Jue (Circulation of Qi Induction Technique) is a method that pursues the unity of heaven and man. You have broken through the limits of humanity once again, increasing your charm by 1 point.]
[Charm 21 → Charm 22]
Ronan opened the panel and took a look—

'This stat panel…' Ronan thought, 'Don't even mention being Baal's grandson; even the daughters of the goddess of magic might not have my stats.'
"Luckily, the natives of this world can't see my attributes, otherwise I'd definitely be in a lot of trouble."
Ronan put away the panel, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went out to find food.
He went to the same old place, the Elf's Song Tavern.
After all, the Elf Song Tavern had the most diverse menu and suited his taste best.
Sitting down at the bar, he immediately ordered a Baldur's Gate seafood paella, a braised beef in a secret honey sauce, and a glass of Eternal Gathering wine.
The tavern owner, Ellis, said that the recipe for this Evergrande liqueur was stolen by a thief from Evergrande Island, the settlement of elves, and that he bought it at a high price.
The other adventurers thought the half-elf was bragging, but regardless of whether the wine was real or not, it was indeed delicious, with a rich aroma of various fruits.
Before long, the dishes and drinks were served. As Ronan was eating, he suddenly heard a rough voice coming from his right: "Boss, give me a glass of rum."
The voice sounded very familiar. Turning around, he saw that it was indeed Guf, the second of the three dwarf brothers.
