City One boasted an impressive array of options for cultivators up to the fifth realm, a fact that only served to underscore Liam's own financial limitations. While he could certainly maintain a comfortable lifestyle using Third Class resources, he knew that as his power grew, so too would his expenses.
A single fourth-class recovery potion commanded a staggering price of 2,000 gold coins. This sum, while not enough to bankrupt Liam outright, would certainly deplete his funds after just a few purchases. Other resources, such as pills and weapons, carried similarly hefty price tags. The cost of assembling a complete set of Fourth Class armor, weapon, recovery potions, and pills was enough to drain his coffers entirely.
