Chapter 2426: Chapter 509: Mythical Star Butterfly Dragon! Dragon of Salvation!
Instead, let him cultivate normally in the Tower of Dawn and participate in the regular blood battles.
He only needed to occasionally come here for supplementary lessons.
His temperament hadn’t changed since he was a child; he remained just as tranquil.
Many wizards who have lived for hundreds of years cannot match it.
Levi would also occasionally, unintentionally test Heim, to see if he could reveal any clues of being a Legendary Wizard.
The outcome was still all normal.
"Heim, in the upcoming period, you don’t need to come to the Emperor’s Palace. Spend more time at home with your parents," Levi advised.
Heim had the demeanor of a mature youth.
"I understand, teacher. Thank you for your guidance over the years. I won’t forget it," he said.
After thinking it over, Levi earnestly said:
"Heim, no matter what achievements you accomplish in the future, never forget your parents. Think of Lillian, who carried you for three years. Do you remember?"
Heim replied: "I understand, teacher."
...
Before departing, Levi made a round of the various major organizations.
The Witch’s Family, where Windwalker Lisa is now a senior fourth-circle wizard.
To this day, it’s been over a hundred years since the Witch’s Family merged into the Ancient Dragon Continent.
A few years ago, another {Lake Witch} was newly born, bringing the total number of Primordial Soul Witches to 10.
Although still in decline, things have finally begun to improve.
Besides the 10 witches, there are also 2 primordial soul wizards.
They came in these years, all of them nomadic wizards.
The blood battles turned many wizard organizations and families to dust, increasing the homeless, and the number of nomadic wizards surged.
Additionally, with the development of the Council Treasury being exchanged by the whole society, the originally solidified wizard class has begun to loosen a bit.
This is also good news for the vast number of nomadic wizards.
Dusk Holy Temple and the Ancient Dragon Empire are these two grand knight organizations.
They can almost ensure the birth of 3 to 5 level-six experts every hundred years, and the pace is still increasing.
Offsetting with the level-sixes who fell due to the blood battles and other natural and man-made disasters, it’s enough to ensure a stable level-six growth on the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Even if there is a net increase of one level-six every hundred years, it is already very fast.
The lifespan of a level-six is two thousand years, with knights generally having even longer lifespans.
Accumulating in this way, including the existing level-sixes,
The level-six experts on the Ancient Dragon Continent are expected to exceed three figures by the end of its second millennium.
Aliens introduced by Levi from ancient towers or Multidimensional Planes are also taking root and beginning to multiply.
Levi’s goal is that by the end of the third millennium on the Ancient Dragon Continent,
The total number of level-sixes from all organizations and races combined should reach at least three hundred.
This sounds incredible, but in the current context, it is not impossible.
The premise of ensuring efficient growth is sufficient resources.
The key to resources is expanding revenue sources and reducing expenditure.
There are many channels for expanding sources, such as blood battles, the Abyss, black beasts, and new worlds like the Heavenly World.
Furthermore, as the Star Castle plan takes shape, expeditions will inevitably have to be sent to explore the Multidimensional Plane to proactively acquire resources.
Reducing expenditure is also crucial.
For instance, improving weapon refinement, Mechanical School technology, etc., to enhance the utilization of various resources and avoid waste.
Of course, in the distant future,
once the number and quality of the transcendent grow sufficiently, it may again fall into a resource predicament and begin to stabilize and stagnate.
This is an unavoidable objective law.
In short, in this era, there’s a lot that can be done.
Many wizard organizations have grasped the opportunity to soar, just like the Ancient Dragon Continent.
Many wizard schools, and emerging high-level wizard organizations, have already essentially replaced the positions of the original top wizard organizations.
As Great Nora’s geographic landscape opens up, the early structure will inevitably undergo tremendous changes.
The Ancient Dragon Continent is just the most typical and prominent among them.
...
End of the year.
The Blood Battle Auction arrived as scheduled.
This time, Levi prepared a full 20 billion in cash.
Elena and Triss were also full of confidence.
Levi’s target remained two types of hard currency: materials and oddities.
The auction process was still a dull contest of monetary power.
The first lot that surprised Levi was a Frozen Giant Pillar that exuded a chilling frost.
The pillar stood ten thousand meters high, with snowflake-patterned lines encircling its surface.
The host introduced it as ten-thousand-year-old Ice Flower Wood!
Discovered in a new continent dominated by an ice world, this was an extraordinary treasure.
It was the perfect item for School of Ice wizards to refine a wizard tower.
The starting price was as high as 3 billion Aether Stones, much more expensive than Bright Moon Artifact.
As soon as this item appeared, School of Ice wizards present exchanged glances.
Their cultivation wasn’t bad, with several eighth-circles among them.
But the problem was, a single piece of Strange Wood wasn’t enough to refine a wizard tower.
Buying it meant investing more money.
Some people, hoping to score a bargain, raised the bid.
Regardless, 3 billion for ten-thousand-year-old Strange Wood was always a profit.
But their financial power couldn’t compare to Levi.
As for this item, he was determined to win it.
Without any competitors, he easily acquired the treasure for 3.5 billion Aether Stones.
After all, the Frost School had less demand; if it were the Burning Faction, this Strange Wood would cost at least 8 billion Aether Stones.
Afterward, Levi went on to acquire numerous rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Just the level 8 metals alone totaled five types.
He also obtained two pieces of Void God Crystal, necessary for a promotion to eighth circle, totaling 3 billion.
Along with the reserves from the Witch’s Family, Three Avatars, Elena, and Triss’s ascensions to the eighth circle, there was no need to worry about Void God Crystal issues.
Additionally, he acquired one Level 8 Void Treasure Pearl, valued at 1.2 billion, for refining the Eight Ring Breakthrough Potion.
The remaining potion materials, with their strength, they could easily hunt level 8 demons to acquire.
Out of trust in his luck, Levi spent 2 billion Aether Stones to purchase five sets of Dark Treasure Maps at the auction and market stalls.
This thing was similar to opening a blind box, with few big profits and a considerable waste of time.
But he previously gained research knowledge on Black Phoenix and Thousand-Year Life Extension Potion, and had a taste of gain.
Coincidentally, he also wanted to travel across planes for a bit, so he seized this opportunity to try his luck, turning a single bike into a motorcycle.
Just like that, Levi’s 20 billion was unknowingly spent.
He consoled himself, saying it was for boosting the internal demand of the Wizard World, contributing to GDP, and supporting the blood battles!
Others also had a fruitful harvest.
Elena also acquired some materials for refining wizard towers, and secured a Sky-level {Water King’s Pearl} from the Water King Series.
She and Triss jointly purchased a book of potion knowledge titled "Old Man and Medicine," spending a total of 4 billion Aether Stones.
This was an incomplete version of the inheritance from an ancient Grand Wizard, the {Eternal Youthful Witch Luo Fu}.
It is said this Grand Wizard lived up to nine thousand years without transforming into a lich.
He made significant contributions to the field of life extension, and the inheritance book records hundreds of original primordial soul potions.
The two planned to study it carefully in the future.
