Xiluo gazed straight ahead.
A familiar panel appeared.
[Strong Mutated Young Blue Dragon] Level: 17 "95%" (Transcendent-) "91%" Mutated bloodlines: Thunderfall Dragon (76.6%), Extreme Thunder Dragon (76.3%), Storm Dragon (76.8%) Ancestral bloodline: Ancestral Dragon (30%)
Two years had passed.
Xiluo's level still had not risen.
But he was almost at the threshold.
The same went for his template.
His mutated bloodlines had all surpassed 75%.
He had begun using new materials.
They were:
Thunderstorm crystals and storm crystals.
Compared with sea god crystals, both kinds of crystals were extremely scarce.
Thunderstorm crystals were particularly rare, existing only within certain extreme thunder domains.
The same held true for storm crystals.
These crystals were also delicacies for certain powerful magical beasts, which guarded them.
Obtaining them was not much easier than obtaining sea god crystals.
As powerful lightning-element materials, thunderstorm crystals were also favored by many spellcasters, making supplies even scarcer.
Even with Xiluo's status and standing,
he could only obtain an annual allocation worth 8,000 gold coins from the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth.
The allocation of storm crystals was somewhat larger, worth 12,000 gold coins a year.
Xiluo bought out his entire allocation every year.
The gold coins he spent on this were an astronomical sum!
Yet he actually had that much gold!
This was also thanks to his skill at amassing wealth over the past two years... no! It should be attributed to Niro City's ever-improving development!
Over those two years,
Niro City's population had grown from around 370,000, nearly 400,000, to approximately 520,000.
A large number of newborns and incoming migrants had joined the population.
They had injected fresh blood and vitality into all of Niro City.
After all, few cities built defensive walls around their outer city, kept watch for enemies, and stationed soldiers
