    Chapter 13 Bottomless Pit Li Luo

    With excitement in his heart, Li Luo stayed up all night.

    In the early morning, in the attic of the room, Li Luo rubbed his heavy eyelids, but looked at the sandalwood box in front of him with regret.

    There is still nearly half of the spiritual water and strange light left that has not been used up.

    Li Luo found that he had overlooked one point. Although he was in the empty phase and was not worried about the erosion of impurities in the spiritual water strange light, it would take time to absorb one spiritual water strange light, and he could not mix dozens of spiritual water strange lights together and use them directly. If they interfered with each other, they would cause the spiritual water strange light to fail.

    So in one night, he only absorbed twenty-seven magical lights of spiritual water.

    Of course, if this was only known to outsiders, they would probably think that Li Luo was crazy because they had never heard of anyone dare to play like this.

    After absorbing the strange light of twenty-seven spiritual waters in one night, the impurities contained in it will accumulate, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the palace is closed.

    Generally speaking, only those who are at the end of their rope would choose this desperate and almost crazy move.

    That really means success or failure.

    “However, the effect is quite good.”

    The regret in Li Luo’s eyes lasted for a while and then dissipated, and then his eyes became brighter, because in his perception, the light of his first phase palace was purer than yesterday, and even the phase force flowing in it became more powerful and pure.

    Based on this progress, Li Luo made some estimates. If he wanted to upgrade his “water light phase” to the fifth level, he might need nearly a hundred fourth-level spiritual water miraculous lights.

    Calculating this way, Li Luo’s promotion from the fourth level to the fifth level will probably consume nearly 200,000 heavenly gold.

    This amount was actually acceptable to Li Luo, but when he continued to advance in this way, he felt a little bad.

    Because after the fifth-grade phase, the price of those fifth-grade spiritual water and strange light will increase exponentially, and the promotion of the phase level will be more difficult.

    Wouldn’t that mean that from fifth to sixth grade, nearly a million gold would have to be consumed?

    Sixth to seventh grade. Is it millions?

    What next?

    For a moment, Li Luo suddenly felt a little suffocated. Although he didn’t take care of things very much, he also knew that the annual income of various chambers of commerce and industry in the entire Luo Lan Mansion was only about a few million pieces of gold.

    He devoured the Luo Lan Mansion alive, so it would be difficult for him to provide the amount of gold that would be consumed to promote him to the eighth level, right?

    This so-called acquired appearance is simply a bottomless pit!

    Li Luo rubbed his eyebrows. The Luo Lan Mansion left by his parents would probably not be able to support a prodigal like him in the future.

    “But if I can refine the spiritual water and strange light myself in the future, I can save a lot.”

    Li Luo thought of his water-light phase. In a sense, this was his unique advantage. If he could make good use of this, the spiritual water and strange light he would refine in the future would probably be the only one on the market. From this point of view, learning the phase-quenching technique must also be put on the agenda.

    “It seems that my father and mother have also thought of this. That’s why they asked me to become a physiognomist, so that the Luo Lan Mansion will not be directly destroyed by me.” Li Luo sighed, once again feeling the foresight of his father and mother.

    In the end, Li Luo did not dare to continue thinking about this problem. Anyway, at least before the sixth level, he should be able to barely support it. As for the subsequent situation, we will see when the time comes.

    So he shook his head, went directly back to the bedroom, and went to rest.

    In the next two days, Li Luo turned on the liver-exploding mode and practiced the “Canglan Meditation Diagram” during the day. After reaching the extreme, he practiced physiognomy for two hours, and then began to take spiritual water and strange light to improve the level of physiognomy.

    And this all-out practice has achieved good results. His phase power level has quickly increased to the fourth seal, and his fourth-grade water-light phase is becoming more and more pure.

    At this time, Li Luo felt that nothing could stop his progress.

    Until the spiritual water and strange light are exhausted.

    In an old house, in a counting room.

    Cai Wei was sitting in front of the table in a long skirt, with a slim figure and a rather rough curve in her chest. At this time, on her beautiful oval face, she was looking at some account books in front of her with a slight frown.

    “Steward Gu, Luo Lan Mansion’s income in Tianshu County seems to have dropped a bit this year.” Cai Wei raised her eyes from the account book and looked at the several stewards in front of her.

    The middle-aged man known as the Gu Steward nodded with a wry smile and said: “The Chief Steward is right. Luolan Mansion has nine chambers of commerce in Tianshu County and eighteen mines. The medicines are only due to changes in the mansion. In the past year, the three families in Tianshu County have been encroaching on us a little bit, and the Song family is the most important among them. Two of the nine chambers of commerce were broken up by the Song family through various means this year, and were eventually swallowed up by them.”

    Cai Wei’s beautiful eyes were a bit cold. Luolan Mansion made its fortune from Nanfeng City in Tianshu County. Since then, it has risen to become one of the four major mansions in Daxia Kingdom at an astonishing speed.

    However, in Tianshu County, in addition to Luolan Mansion, there are three other major families. Although these three families cannot be compared with the complete Luolan Mansion in terms of overall scale, they are also considered to be established forces in Tianshu County, with deep roots and deep foundation.

    When the two family heads were still alive, the Luo Lan Mansion was at its peak. These three families were extremely well-behaved and obedient to each other. However, they did not expect that as soon as the two family heads disappeared, they took advantage of the internal and external troubles in the Luo Lan Mansion and began to jump up and down.

    Cai Wei had heard Jiang Qing’e say before that behind these three families, there might be instructions from other top forces, but they were just constantly testing the reality of Luo Lan Mansion.

    There are three families in Tianshu County, the Song family, the Bei family, and the Tifa family. Among them, the Song family is the strongest and has the most hands and feet in the past two years. They have constantly used various means to interfere with, suppress, and embezzle the Luolan House’s chamber of commerce and industry in Tianshu County.

    And you must know that in the past few years, the head of the Song family would come to visit every year with new year’s gifts.

    The transformation before and after is really like singing.

    However, Cai Wei has been through a lot, and naturally she is not naive. The existence of the Luo Lan Mansion has already squeezed the interests of the three families. Now that the other party has seen the internal and external troubles in the Luo Lan Mansion, it is impossible to say that they are unethical if they want to step in first. It is just that they have different stances, so naturally they will treat each other as enemies.

    But now Luo Lan Mansion really can’t spare any extra energy to put out the fire in Tianshu County. After all, other places need support everywhere. Coupled with the existence of Pei Hao, Luo Lan Mansion is even worse.

    Cai Wei was silent for a moment, and finally said decisively: “Some chambers of commerce that cannot reverse their profits and losses should be closed down for the time being. There is no need to entangle with each other.”

    Temporary forbearance is necessary. As long as Luo Lan Mansion stabilizes, these three families will have to spit out whatever they have eaten.

    After hearing her decision, the following stewards also agreed, because they also understood that the current situation of Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County was indeed somewhat dwarfed by comparison.

    Ta-ta.

    At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Cai Wei said, “Come in.” The door was pushed open, and Li Luo walked in.

    When the stewards saw this, they quickly saluted.

    Li Luo waved his hand, and Cai Wei asked them to retreat first. She turned her beautiful eyes to the former and said, “What can I do for you, Young Master?”

    Li Luo coughed lightly and said with a smile: “It is indeed a little thing to trouble Sister Cai Wei.”

    Sister Cai Wei blinked her narrow and slightly charming eyes, feeling vaguely uneasy, but still said: “What’s the matter?”

    Li Luo showed a gentle smile and said: “It’s not about other things, it’s just the fourth-grade spiritual water and strange light. The previous fifty copies have been consumed, so I want to trouble Sister Cai Wei to help me purchase another hundred copies.”

    The expression on Cai Wei’s fair and smooth oval face solidified little by little at this moment. She stared at Li Luo with her beautiful eyes wide open, her plump chest rising and falling slightly.

    “Buy another hundred copies? Fourth-grade spiritual water and strange light?”

    Cai Wei couldn’t help clenching her hands. How many days had she been managing Luolan Mansion’s finances in Tianshu County?Is it going to go bankrupt directly?

    So she endured it again and again, and finally couldn’t bear it anymore. She slapped her hand on the table and raised her eyebrows.

    “Li Luo, don’t you want me to do this?”
