Audrey planned to break through to level 20 and above in half a year to have some ability to protect herself in this world.

However, it was clearly not easy to make such a big breakthrough in half a year.

The path of cultivation was simple but complicated. One step at a time, and the further one progressed, the more difficult it became.

Just because Audrey was able to break through to Level 4 in a month did not mean that she would break through to level 8 in another month's time.

The progress of her cultivation was not a matter of adding up but a matter of multiplying exponentially.

Even if she were to break through from level-4 to level-5, she might not even be able to do it in a month, much less level-8.

This was because the difficulty of breaking through from level-4 to level-5 was even greater than the difficulty of breaking through from level-0 to level-4.

If Audrey continued to seclude herself in the quiet room for a month, there was a high chance that she would not be able to break through to become a level-5 mage.

This was also why the strongest experts in Spark City, the seniors who had been cultivating for over a hundred years, were all only around level-30.

If she wanted to break through to level-20 within half a year, she would have to obtain many cultivation resources. Without abundant resources, let alone level-20, she would not even be able to reach level-10.

Audrey pondered in her heart. Cultivation resources were significant to any cultivator, and she was no exception.

Moreover, mages consumed more resources than warriors. Every mage was equivalent to a walking gold-swallowing beast. Every year, a large number of resources were consumed in magic cultivation and research.

On Earth, the cost of nurturing a mage was more than five times that of a warrior of the same realm.

And for a genius mage like Audrey, the consumption of resources was even more exaggerated.

In the same realm, she consumed more than 100 times more resources than a fighter.

As she was a multi-element mage, she had too much research and experiments that required magic materials.

Audrey took out an exquisite small wooden box from the corner of the room. It was a birthday gift from her mother when she was seven years old. In the small wooden box were all of her precious items.

Opening the small wooden box, there were some gold coins and a few pieces of expensive jewelry. Other than that, there was nothing else.

"So poor."

Audrey shook her head. This bit of money was tiny even for a fighter, let alone maintaining the cultivation of a mage.

This bit of money could hardly buy any resources. No wonder Audrey had been cultivating for 18 years and still could not break through to level-1.

In fact, it was not strange at all. As the most famous piece of trash in the family, the family would not have many resources allocated to her.

In a world where the strong ruled and the strong preyed on the weak, any resources had to be earned by oneself.

Without strength, one would not be qualified to obtain more resources. This point was applicable everywhere.

It looks like she will have to think of a way to earn money next.

Audrey pondered for a moment, then took out all the gold coins and jewelry from the small wooden box. Finally, she turned around and walked out of the room.

As the President of the Global Magic Association, she could be the most knowledgeable mage on Earth. She was full of talent, so it was not very difficult for her to earn money.

The Davis family's household was located in the east of Spark City. It occupied an area of more than a hundred square kilometers. There were numerous buildings inside, one after another, connected by ancient castles. One could not see the end of it at a glance.

Such a huge and majestic building complex could be considered a small closed-off town. From this, one could see how powerful and wealthy the Davis family was.

An ancient family with more than 300 years of history, its foundation and strength were unimaginable to ordinary people.
