At the end of each month, Cao Chen will take stock of the accounts and calculate the income and expenses of the month. Cao Chen, who has never learned to use an abacus, has also reached the point where practice makes perfect, with one hand plucking the abacus beads, and holding a quill in the other hand to keep writing and drawing on the ledger.

He walked out of the backstage with the sword master for free, came to the counter, and looked at Cao Chen.

Cao Chen raised his eyes to look at them, and then lowered his head to settle the account, but asked in his mouth, "What are you doing?" ”

"Xiao Jian and I are going to go to the newly discovered Yan Cave. ”

Cao Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at them, and said angrily, "Are you sick?" As soon as the body is healed, will you want to die? ”

The sword master smiled slightly and said, "There is something that needs to be taken inside." Can you give us back our storage rings to ......" Noticing Cao Chen's sudden change in face, the sword master hurriedly changed his words, "Just return our blade magic weapon to us." After all, the Yan Cave is not a place for good harmony, and we always need a magic weapon to be around. ”

Cao Chen snorted and laughed, and said, "How can you call it 'back' to you?" Have you forgotten? I am your savior. Those two storage rings and all the contents of the storage rings should be your thank you for my life-saving benefactor. So, there's no such thing as not paying it back. In addition...... "turned the ledger in one direction and placed it in front of the sword master and gratuitous." "For the past two or three years, you have eaten me, lived in me, and asked me to serve. If you go out to the friendship of friends and serve you like this, I will not charge for nursing care. But food and accommodation always have to be money. Of course, it doesn't matter, our friendship, I'll give you a 20% discount, and then remove the wages that you helped for a few days before. I've already calculated, you owe me a total of 5,000 and 56 first-grade spars, and the fraction is counted as 5,000 first-grade spars, which is equivalent to five fourth-grade spars. Tsk, that's not much. ”

He was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud, "Isn't it just five fourth-grade spars?" Is it necessary to be so serious? "He really doesn't care about such a little hedron. When I was a colt in Lihattian, the value of each meal was as good as a four-grade spar.

"Hey, that's atmospheric." Cao Chen stretched out his hand for free, "Pay back!" ”

The smile on his face stiffened. Now he can be said to be penniless. Not to mention five fourth-grade spars, even one first-grade spars, he didn't have them. coughed dryly, and looked down at the ledger for nothing, "Why are there so many?" Did you miscalculate? I'll take a look first. ”

Cao Chen snorted and let the accounts be checked for free.

The sword master smiled bitterly, not interested in discussing the account book with Cao Chen. "In that case, the sword and the Thousand Spirit Shield should be borrowed by us, okay?"

"Borrow? Why should I lend you something so valuable? Cao Chen said. In case you take your things and run away, who am I looking for? It's still a master, it's really ignorant, borrowing things, you have to have collateral. Do you have a mortgage on your property? ”

He raised his eyebrows gratuitously and said, "Okay, you have a reason for what you say." It's just that...... We really need to go there, it's important to go. Can you bear that we don't have a magic weapon to die inside? ”

"Hey, what's wrong with me?" Cao Chen said.

The sword master frowned and said, "Gratuitously speaking, the fragment of the magic weapon he saw on the street is my wife's. So...... I have to go there. My wife was originally injured by the Demon Lord, and she has been healing at the Sword Sect's station, so it is impossible for her to come to Feishalu. Her magic weapon appeared in Feishalu, something must have happened back then. Moreover, for masters, the magic weapon is life. Her magic weapon was destroyed in Feishalu's words......" Speaking of this, the sword master's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally sighed.

Cao Chen lowered his head, pulled the abacus, and after a moment, said, "Even if you want to go, can't you wait until your cultivation is high?" It's been so many years, is it necessary to take the plunge? ”

"It's necessary." said gratuitously, "What if that girl isn't dead now, can she still hold on?" In a few years, when we went in, we found that the girl had just died, and we would definitely regret it. ”

For the title of "that girl", the sword master was a little dissatisfied, glared at him gratuitously, but didn't say anything.

"How can it be so coincidental!" Cao Chen exhaled, thought for a while, and said, "Come on, go if you want." As he spoke, he took out two storage rings and handed them to the free and sword masters, "Borrow from you!" Don't forget to pay interest! ”

Fearing that Cao Chen would regret it, he snatched his storage ring and said, "Thank you, when we are developed, ......"

Cao Chen interrupted the gratuitous words and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get out of here." By the way, let Zhang San follow, the bad guy is also a master of Jindan. ”

The sword master said, "Then ...... here"

"There's nothing going on here, besides, His Royal Highness Bao'er and General Yuan, they need to go against the spirit, and they won't help me. I'm the only Baixing here who can be regarded as an enemy, and I probably don't dare to argue with Dragon City. ”

He glanced at the sword master for free and agreed with Cao Chen's statement.

Cao Chen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up." With that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

In a very bad mood inexplicably, Cao Chen picked up the dragon slaying knife and played it indiscriminately before returning to the room and lying on the bed and falling asleep.

pretending to snore, but always tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

Cao Chen got up again, went all the way up to the roof, and glanced outside the Dragon Gate Inn. I wanted to see where the sword master went, but unfortunately, there was an endless stream of people outside the Dragon Gate Inn, but there was no trace of the three of them.

Cao Chen was stunned for a long time and sat down on the roof.

"! It's all something! Let's go! If they all die there, won't the old lady get any return on her emotional investment for so many years? Cao Chen scolded, pursed his lips again, and said to himself, "It's better to go!" The province eats for nothing, lives for nothing, and doesn't work! ”

Suddenly, the three people who were still close to him were gone, and Cao Chen's heart was empty. Fortunately, there is still the inn's business to take care of, and without the help of the three of them, Cao Chen's workload has increased.

I am busy taking care of business every day, and I have a comfortable life.

Occasionally, Cao Chen would also go to Shahai Dragon City to find Xuan Bao'er. However, as the city lord of Dragon City, Xuan Bao'er was busier than Cao Chen. Being able to say a few words in a hurry is considered free. Most of the time, if it's unlucky, you won't even be able to see Xuan Bao'er's face.

Cao Chen gradually stopped running to Dragon City.

In his free time, Cao Chen would study the magic weapons he had previously picked up from the mausoleum forest. After researching, you will try your luck in the happy casino.

The owner of the Happy Casino didn't know if he got the inspiration from somewhere, and he really changed a group of beautiful female staff. However, this did not change Cao Chen's luck.

Almost every time, Cao Chen will lose in disgrace.

Cao Chen got inspiration from the guy who was going to bet on Linglu last time, and bet on the fragments of the magic weapon he had studied. It's just that luck is too stinky, and a lot of fragments are always output every time.

Although I have studied those fragments myself, and it is useless to keep them, I am still a little distressed when I lose. And the loss was so great that in less than two months, Cao Chen lost all those fragments.

After learning the hard way, Cao Chen decided to quit gambling.

When he didn't go to the casino and there was nothing going on in the inn, Cao Chen would wander around the street. There's no particular purpose, she sees someone selling interesting gadgets, and she'll buy them. Maybe if you come across a clothing store with beautiful clothes, you will buy a lot of them at once.

On this day, Cao Chen had just bought a beautiful dress and came out of the clothing store and ran into a gambler who had won a lot of fragments of his magic weapon.

"Yo, Boss Cao, the old one is gone. Why don't you go to the Happiness Casino lately? The man who spoke was a young man who looked no more than twenty years old.

Cultivators cannot infer age by their appearance alone. Cao Chen knew that this guy, although he looked young, was actually more than a hundred years old. The cultivation of the foundation building period is not very high, but I heard that the means are very good, and I once fought with the Jindan master, but unfortunately lost.

"Quit gambling." Cao Chen said.

"No, do you still have that kind of magic weapon fragment? I can bet a little bit more with you. The young man said, "How about a four-grade spar and a fragment of a magic weapon?" ”

Cao Chen was stunned for a moment and scolded, "Damn! Why didn't you raise the price earlier? In the past, they used to bet on the price of five three-grade crystals, didn't the old lady lose a lot? ”

"Hehe, you haven't won anyway, it doesn't matter what the price is, right?" The young man laughed.

"Hey, get out of the way, I'm going home."

The young man got out of the way, but followed Cao Chen in the direction of the Dragon Gate Inn. As he walked, he said, "Boss Cao, I want to ask you something." ”

"What?"

"Where did you get those fragments?"

"Picked it up."

"Huh...... It's good luck to be able to pick up so many. The young man said, "Those fragments look as if they have been corrupted by Yin Qi. I'm really curious, is there such a place where Yin Qi gathers on the Flying Sand Land? ”

"Sensei told me. I'll just tell you where to pick it up, and you can't help it. Cao Chen said, "Besides, I estimate that it is now full of cultivators, and it must have been turned upside down." There won't be any goodies. Didn't you say that there were some Yandong monuments found in the Horseshoe Basin? You might as well go there and try your luck. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Don't tease me. Don't you know? ”

"What?"

"That flame cave has collapsed."

"Huh?"

"I originally wanted to go, didn't I want to win your magic weapon fragments." Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Relatively speaking, winning your fragments is simpler and safer than going to the Yan Cave to take risks. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the Yandong first, you said it collapsed?"

"Hmm." The young man said, "I heard that there was an extremely tragic fight inside, and the wanton aura attack hit something, causing the eruption of earth fire. I had a friend who was there at the time. According to him, the fire was too strong. Not to mention being burned, even if you get closer, you will be scorched. He was a Jin Dan cultivator, he didn't see it well at the time, so he hurriedly ran away, but he was still a step too late, and was burned to his back by the flying ground fire, but fortunately, the set of smoothie armor he prepared was very well refined, so he didn't die there, but he was still seriously injured. ”

Cao Chen's mouth was wide open in shock, and he couldn't say a word.

Jin Dan almost died, so wouldn't it be even more doomed to him if he was free of charge and the sword master?

The young man said, sighing, "Don't mention it, listening to my friend, he estimates that at least more than a thousand cultivators have died in it, and among these cultivators, there are more than twenty Jin Dan." There is even a master of the Bigu period. ”
