The thirty-second page of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws swallowed Levi's 160,000 amethysts; Then, the upgrade and forging of the Shield of the Repair God Volcano and the Ember Demon Knife also cost 150,000 amethysts in total.

After more than two months of hard work, so much money has been created, and others are afraid that they will be stunned when they see the speed of spending money.

He doesn't have much money left now.

Well, only about sixty or seventy thousand amethysts look.

He used all this money to exchange for various cultivation resources.

At this point in his current situation, the gene chain has been developed to a high level, and it is no longer possible to rely solely on gene fluid to improve the level of personal strength. In fact, after the gene lock was opened, the miraculous effect of the gene liquid at the extreme level, or even at the stage before the extreme level, had disappeared and turned into an effective medicine to assist cultivation.

However, with the continuous improvement of the level of strength, the effect of the genetic medicine that can bring about auxiliary cultivation is also getting lower and lower.

There are two main reasons for this. The improvement of the genetic chain will slowly approach the upper limit of a person's potential. When approaching or even reaching the limit of potential, it will be difficult to continue to improve, whether it is normal practice or using regular resources. Of course, this is not impossible to solve. A person's so-called talent ceiling, bloodline, initial genes only account for a part, in the process of growth, the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, especially the cultivation of young people, will also have an impact on the final talent ceiling.

This mechanism is complex and made up of many factors. One of the well-known factors is that you can't start developing genetic power at a young age. At a time when the human body is not fully developed, genetic development and cultivation at this time will not only slow progress, but also damage the talent.

However, in fact, most people don't need to care too much about this. There is a saying that in terms of the level of effort of most people, there is no talent at all.

Indeed, there are very few evolutionaries who are really limited by the ceiling of talent.

Another factor that leads to the reduction of the effect of gene fluid, and the most important factor, is that after reaching a high level, there is actually no suitable gene solution.

In the first and second chains, the effect of C-grade gene fluid is very good; In the third and fourth chains, the B-grade gene fluid is also very good. But when it comes to the fifth chain and the sixth chain, the A-grade gene fluid can produce a good effect, but the problem is that the A-grade gene fluid is too expensive. Even if it's expensive, the most important thing is that it can't be mass-produced.

Like a D-class flesh core, humans can raise a large number of low-level monsters, although the probability of obtaining them is much lower than that of wild monsters, but it is always energy-producing. Some high-level cultivation farms can also cultivate C-level flesh cores. B-class can't be mass-produced, but the monsters of the fourth and fifth chains are not too difficult to find in the wild.

But the A-level flesh core, the probability of the fourth and fifth chain monsters exploding is very low, very low, like Levi was able to kill a vampire viscount and get an A-level flesh core, it was completely lucky. Generally speaking, even if it is a monster with the sixth chain, it is normal to burst out of the B-rank core. The only monsters that can stably produce A-rank flesh cores are monsters above the seventh challenge level.

And the monsters of the sixth chain and the seventh chain are very, very difficult to kill in the wild. What's more, in general, this kind of monster rarely lives alone. It's like the worm that Levi killed, the sixth and seventh chains, but his subordinates control thousands of giant worms, and the strong ones are not necessarily easy to kill.

And when it comes to Levi's current strength, the auxiliary effect of A-level gene fluid is not as good as before, and S-level gene liquid, element-level monsters may not be able to produce, which is an extremely rare thing.

At least, Levi is hard to come by in the market.

However, the good news is that at this level, there are many other things that are no worse than the effect of gene fluid. For example, some herbal potions made by potions masters, and mechanical devices made with high-end energy crystals to stimulate gene development, the effect is not bad.

But it also requires more money.

Cultivation is a very expensive thing, especially the further you go.

The rest of the money in Levi's current hand has been invested in these cultivation resources.

According to his own estimates, he would be able to support his cultivation for about two and a half months to three months without slowing down his cultivation speed and consuming all his resources to practice.

"No matter how much, let's go into retreat for three months."

With this in mind, Levi began to carry out his own long-term cultivation.

……

After Levi began his retreat, the turbulent situation in the outside world had not changed, a bit like it was about to subside.

The scolding war between the two sides continues, but it is just a few points of view, and the words and rhetoric are not even as intense as they were at the beginning.

It seems that the situation will really confirm what some call 'peace'.

But the real insightful people don't see it that way. The scolding battle was interrupted for a while, but the tension of the situation did not ease in the slightest. The traffic blockade between Westdum and Jinyang Pass is still in place, not only has it not been reduced, but it has been strengthened. At the same time, there are rumors that a new round of conscription has begun in the area around Jinyang Pass. There has been no movement in the Blazing Phoenix Legion for the time being, but the local legion in Jinyang Pass, which originally had an army of about 40,000 people, is recruiting troops.

At the same time, all kinds of military enterprises in Jinyang Pass are already operating at full capacity. At the same time, in some other parts of the kingdom, orders for armaments and supplies were received from Jinyang Pass.

This is preparing for war.

In contrast, the official garrison of the Kingdom of Westdum, as well as the traditional area of influence of the House of Hargreaves, located in the Valley of St. Bouren, west of the Kingdom of Westdum, are also undergoing troop training.

In Westdum, the signs were not too obvious, but news from the Saint-Boren Valley indicated that they were indeed undergoing military rearmament.

This is definitely not a sign that the dispute will subside and that peace is coming. On the contrary, the gradual tranquility of the present is more like the tranquility before the storm of war.

Now, both sides have accumulated enough reasons to start a war – whether it is deep-seated interests, ideological contradictions, or pretexts for going to war, no shortage of them. At the moment, what awaits is combat readiness.

As long as one side feels that it is ready, then war may break out immediately.

The clouds of war have hung over the kingdom of Westom.

In addition to the normal two shifts today, there will be additional shifts. Plus more should be in the evening.
