Chapter 14 Level 3 Cultivator
Bricks rained down on the swarming spiders, and billowing dust filled the tunnel.
The two mice were startled by the commotion; their fur stood on end, and they squeaked incessantly before running back as fast as they could.

……
Ronan manipulated the bricks, continuously smashing them at the spiders.
swarms of spiders were smashed into a pulp, their greenish-blue flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
The commotion caused the spiders that followed to retreat as quickly as the tide.
Ronan followed closely behind, about to wield the brick to smash it again, when suddenly, a sense of danger surged within him.
He immediately used his object manipulation technique to throw all the bricks forward.
At the same time, he pushed off with his foot and quickly retreated.
With the blessing of the lightness technique [Rock Leap], his body was as light as a feather.
Just then, he saw hairy spider legs and a face the size of a human head with eight eyes emerge from the darkness.
He stared intently at it, and the panel appeared.
It seems he was right; it really was a giant spider.
Bang bang bang!
This giant spider has a hard chitinous exoskeleton; a brick thrown at it will immediately shatter.
Ronan didn't know if the brick had caused any serious damage to the giant spider.
But clearly, his attack angered the giant spider.
The giant spider hissed angrily, its eight legs moving swiftly as it charged straight at Ronan.
Compared to the Sharkfish Man with an average intelligence of 12, the Giant Spider is a monster with an intelligence of 2, so it is not considered a demon. Even if the Taoist spell [Demon Slayer] is applied to the longsword, it will not work.
He could only rely on the power of his manipulation technique and the toughness and sharpness of his double-edged longsword to fight the giant spider.
With a thought, he drew his longsword and shot it toward the giant spider's head.
The spider's weak points are its eyes and abdomen.
His thrust was aimed at the giant spider's eye.
The longsword pierced the air with a hissing sound, its power astonishing.
The giant spider seemed startled by the commotion, its eight legs sinking slightly as it pressed its body close to the ground.
Immediately, he exerted force with his feet and sprang up, leaping away from the trajectory of the longsword that had shot straight towards him.
Upon seeing this, Ronan immediately used his magic to slightly deflect the trajectory of the longsword.
The next moment, the longsword slightly turned and stabbed towards the spider's lower abdomen.
At this moment, the giant spider was in mid-air and had no way to avoid it. It could only open its mandibles and spit out spider silk to retaliate against Ronan.
Chi!
The longsword plunged into the giant spider's abdomen, and bluish-green blood splattered from the wound.
Ronan moved slightly to the side, and the spider silk struck the ground beside him, forming a thick, white spider web.
rustle!
However, the giant spider did not die this time.
It paddled back deeper into the tunnel, carrying the long sword hilt protruding from its abdomen, leaving a trail of bluish-green blood on the ground.
Under the control of the artifact manipulation technique, the longsword had penetrated deep into the giant spider's body, all the way to the hilt.
Ronan then used his manipulation technique to continuously stir the longsword.
The giant spider hissed in agony, and more of its bluish-green blood flowed out.
Then, he used the art of manipulating objects to draw the longsword.
The giant spider's shattered internal organs were pulled out by the longsword.
With a thought, Ronan thrust his longsword upwards, disappearing into another spot on the giant spider's abdomen.
Then, he manipulated the longsword, moving it back and forth like a saw, continuously widening the giant spider's wound.
Feeling the resistance from the longsword, Ronan thought, "If only the blade had serrations."
However, even without serrations, it has now caused great damage to the giant spider.
The giant spider slowed its movement, and the bluish-green blood flowing from its wounds had formed a small stream.
Before long, the giant spider lay completely on the ground and stopped moving.
[You have killed one giant spider, gained 200 experience points, and leveled up to level 3 cultivator. Current experience: 1035 XP/2700 XP]
Ronan recalled his longsword and found that the blade was covered in thick, bluish-green blood, emitting a fishy smell. Upon closer inspection, he also noticed that the blade was worn.
Only then did he realize that he hadn't brought any gauze with him to wipe away the blood after the battle, and he sighed inwardly that his experience in adventure was still insufficient.
He could only use the dirt on the ground to clean the blood off the sword as much as possible before putting the longsword back into its sheath.
He glanced at the giant spider's corpse, wondering, "I wonder if any of the giant spider's organs are worth anything."
"I must buy a monster encyclopedia when I get back."
Because the giant spider's body was too large, he could only leave it there temporarily and return to retrieve it once he found out which of the spider's organs were valuable.
To let Rhys know that he had completed his mission, Ronan cut off the spider's head and, using his telekinesis, carried it towards the tunnel's exit.
After coming up from the tunnel and placing the spider's head on the floor, he left the villa and called Rhys in.
When Rhys saw the giant spider's head, he was first startled, then overjoyed, and immediately took Ronan to the clearing house to transfer the money.
The Clearing House is the bank of Baldur's Gate, controlled by Zong Gui of the Upper City.
Located in a steep area, it is a magnificent and heavily fortified building.
As soon as Ronan arrived at the entrance of the clearing house, two burly guards wearing chainmail and axes at their waists stopped him, demanding that he leave his longsword and dagger before he could enter.
Ronan then handed over the longsword and dagger, which reeked of blood, and went inside with Rhys.
Unlike the grand but conventional architectural style of the exterior of the Qingzhang House, the interior of the building exudes a classical luxury.
Not only is the area spacious, but the floor tiles are smooth and have clear and beautiful patterns, making them almost indistinguishable from industrial products from the previous life.
The intricately carved and exquisitely decorated dome above is particularly beautiful.
Just a few steps inside, a beautiful woman dressed in a Greek-style tunic walked gracefully towards us.
This Greek-style robe not only showcases the woman's cleavage but also inadvertently reveals her long, fair legs as she walks.
"Gentlemen, welcome to the Clearing House. How can I help you?" the woman said with a smile as she approached Ronan and Rhys.
In the Middle Ages, people who wanted to save money not only did not receive interest, but also had to pay storage fees. This was because productivity was low, currency circulation was slow, and lending services were underdeveloped.
However, in this world, although people's clothing resembles that of the Middle Ages in the previous life, the level of productivity is vastly different from that of the Middle Ages.
After all, this world has druids who can make crops grow like crazy, as well as Gond followers who are good at inventing and creating.
If it weren't for the fact that the gods were fighting, monsters were running rampant, and evil spirits were invading this world, causing constant natural and man-made disasters on the continent of Faerûn and resulting in a population that was quite different from the previous world, then trade in this world would really not be any worse than in the previous world.
However, trade and circulation in this world were still much more developed than in the Middle Ages, which led to faster currency circulation and a more developed lending industry.
Therefore, in order to have enough money to lend, clearing houses would pay depositors interest in order to attract more deposits.
When customers arrive, the staff at the clearing shop greet them warmly.
Rhys didn't answer the woman, but instead asked Ronan whether he wanted cash or a bank transfer.
Ronan thought for a moment and realized that 400 gold coins would be a huge bag, which would be very cumbersome. If he hid them at home, there was also the possibility of them being lost.
In that case, it would be better to just open an account at the accounting office and deposit the money there.
So he stated his needs, and the beautiful woman very considerately led Ronan aside, completed all the formalities, and opened an account in the accounting office under the name "Ronan Jonas".
