"Ding! merit plus 1!"

"Ding! merit points minus 6!"

"Ding! merit plus 3!"

“......”

The merit is like rain, it has never stopped, Li Shengdai watched his merit rise in a straight line for a while, and then go straight down for a while, like a roller coaster, which made people's hearts beat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, knowing that the Divine Prime Minister's Mansion had chosen him as his son-in-law was enough to disturb him, but now the constant change of this merit value made him even more uncertain.

The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, and going to Shengjing to fulfill the marriage contract seems to be dangerous and abnormal, but as long as it is dealt with properly, it is not lifeless.

It's just that this rain of merit came inexplicably, without a clue, just like the merit system was convulsed, completely uncontrolled, this is what Li Shengdai is most worried about now.

If you have more merit points, you can exchange them for life, but if your merit points are less or even become negative, what will happen?

Reduced lifespan, or something else?

Li Sundai didn't have any memories in his mind about when his merit value was negative, which is why he was so worried. Because judging from the current situation, his merit value may be deducted at any time.

"How much money do you have at home?"

After sending Li Qingting away, Li Shengdai directly asked Li Fugui and Cuizhu about the financial situation of the mansion.

"Why did the young master suddenly ask this question?" Li Fugui was embarrassed for a while, because he didn't know how much cash there was in this mansion now.

Li Shengdai used to only care about cultivation, and he never asked or cared about the income and expenditure of the mansion, so Li Fugui did not care about this issue, and the income and expenditure and expenses in the manor were generally taken care of by the girl Cuizhu.

Anyway, if I have no money, I will ask for Cuizhu, although I have heard Cuizhu complain, but Li Fugui has never taken it to heart. No matter how he said that he was also a Venerable One, such trivial matters, how could he ask in person?

Li Fugui glanced at Cuizhu and pushed her out: "That, Cuizhu, you come to report to the young master." ”

Cuizhu glanced at Li Fugui angrily, shouldn't this kind of thing be answered by the housekeeper, let her be a little girl, and the big housekeeper is embarrassed?

"No money!" Cuizhu replied very simply, "If it weren't for Princess Jing's frequent help, who would subsidize us with ten gold coins every month, our house would have run out of food a long time ago, where would there be any money left?"

"Huh?"

Li Shengdai and Li Fugui were all stunned, they didn't know this situation at all.

"No, I remember when I came out of the Inner Mansion, didn't I bring five hundred gold coins with me?

"Also, this Zhuangzi also has his own business, right?

Hearing these questions, Cuizhu couldn't help but glance at the two of them, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, can the young master and the big housekeeper be a little more reliable?

"Young Master. Cuizhu patiently replied: "When we came out of the Inner Mansion, we did have five hundred gold coins for the placement fee, but those five hundred gold coins had already been used up in the first month. ”

"First of all, all the furniture in the house was replaced with new ones, and then a group of guards who only ate and did not work were recruited, as well as the elixir equipment needed for the young master's daily cultivation, as well as the cost of the decoction after the young master was injured every time he fought with someone, one by one, Cuizhu has a record, if the young master and the housekeeper don't believe it, I can take it out now!"

"No, no!" Li Shengdai hurriedly waved his hand, "Cuizhu has always been careful in doing things, since he said so, there will definitely be no mistake." ”

Originally, I wanted to spend money to set up a porridge shed or something to save the merit value, but now it's good, the fiscal deficit!

What a loser, five hundred gold coins is enough for a family of three to live a hundred years of good food and drink, why is it tossed in a month?

It seems that he used to patronize cultivation, and everyone was stupid when he practiced.

"There is also the business in the manor," Cuizhu continued: "Before the young master came, there had always been medicinal herbs and various spiritual plants and vegetables in the manor, but the price of medicine has been falling in the past two years, and the sales of vegetables are not very good. ”

"So," Cuizhu made a final summary, "Since the second month of the young master's mansion, we have been borrowing money to get by, if it weren't for Princess Jing's compassion, we would have sent an additional ten gold coins every month to subsidize, and our whole mansion would have gone to drink the northwest wind a long time ago." ”

"Ahem!Why didn't you say this earlier?!"

"Why didn't you say it!" Hearing such a question, Cuizhu was directly anxious, and said aggrievedly: "The slave has been talking since the first month, but the young master and the housekeeper have never listened carefully, what should I do, what should I do?"

"Ahem!"

Li Shengdai and Li Fugui coughed at the same time, thinking about it, it seems that there is really such a thing, at that time, they still thought that Cuizhu, the little girl, was too chatty, and even reprimanded a few words.

It's embarrassing!

"What good advice does Cuizhu have?" asked Li Shengdai directly to Cuizhu.

"Of course, it's open source and reduce expenditure. Cuizhu replied directly without thinking about it: "First of all, the twenty guards in the mansion, they eat and drink for nothing every day, and they have nothing to do, but they have to pay more than ten gold coins every month, and now the only little gold coins in the mansion are almost all taken away by them." ”

It can be seen that Cuizhu has deep complaints about these guards who eat white food.

"Well, you can think about it. Li Shengdai turned his head and confessed to Li Fugui: "Uncle Fugui, this matter is up to you, our mansion is not big, we really don't need so many guards, just leave three or two, and let them fend for themselves." ”

"Oh, also, that Li Xiaoer is not bad, remember to stay. ”

Li Fugui responded: "Yes, young master, the old slave will deal with it in a while." ”

"And the subordinates in the house will also be subtracted. Seeing Li Shengdai looking at her again, Cuizhu continued: "What can be done by one person, now it is a great waste to have two people do it!"

Every month, when Cuizhu has the most headache when she pays these subordinates, she obviously doesn't have much money left in her hand, but everyone is still reaching out to her to ask for money, and her head is too big.

Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to go out more clearly.

"This can also be considered. Li Shengdai directly clapped the board and explained to Cuizhu: "You are most familiar with Cuizhu, the next person in the house, this matter will be handed over to you, who stays and who leaves, you have the final say!"

"Hmm!"

Cuizhu nodded vigorously, the problem that had been annoying her for months could finally be solved.

"As for the cost of the decoction. Li Shengdai coughed lightly and said, "I shouldn't need so much in the future, young master, I have already decided to give up martial arts, if I don't cultivate, I don't need so much expense, and I won't fight with others easily, I should be able to save some." ”

As he spoke, Li Shengdai deliberately glanced at the void outside the hall, and continued: "What's more, I will most likely go to Shengjing in three days, and it is not certain when I will come back." At that time, it is enough to leave a few people in the house to maintain daily cleaning, and the cost should not be too large. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Cuizhu answered, then went to the side hall to get a wooden box, and said to Li Shengdai: "Young Master, this is a gift that the third young lady brought to the young master when she came over, saying that it contained a few soul stones, which should help the young master's cultivation." ”

The third lady said that even if the young master gave up martial arts, he couldn't give up hope from now on. These few soul stones should be able to help the young master break through to the fifth level of apprenticeship, I hope the young master can make good use of it. ”

A warmth appeared in Li Shengdai's heart, no wonder the third sister specifically mentioned that he would try to summon the martial soul when he reached the fifth level of apprenticeship, and it turned out that the back hand stayed here.

Open the wooden box, there are five light green round stones inside, the surface of the stone is smooth, there is a hidden streamer turning, and there is a faint trace of soul power lingering around.

This is the Soul Stone?

The legendary treasure that can directly restore soul power and improve cultivation?

"The third lady is really generous. Li Fugui looked at the soul stones in the box and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "Although they are only the lowest-grade low-grade soul stones, each one is worth at least a thousand gold coins, and it is still priceless, ordinary people just want to buy it, and there is no place to buy it." ”

"Don't talk about other places, let's just say that our Martial King Mansion, all the soul stone reserves are added up, and it may not exceed a hundred. The third lady can directly give the young master as many as five pieces, which shows that she values the young master. ”

Low-grade soul stones are extremely rare, even for a soul venerable like Li Fugui, it is an extremely useful thing. To be honest, Li Qingting handed over the five soul stones to Li Shengdai to absorb like this, which was too wasteful.

A soul cultivator who is only apprentice to the second level can't completely absorb and utilize the soul power in the soul stone at all, Li Shengdai uses the soul stone to cultivate, which belongs to the small bucket to the big lake, after cultivation, although the water in his bucket can be filled quickly, but the water in the entire lake is all wasted.

There is no family in this world that dares to be so extravagant, allowing the second-level apprentices in the clan to use soul stones to break through cultivation, it is not that they can't afford it, but there is no need to waste it so much.

The third lady is really capricious!

Li Fugui began to envy Li Shengdai a little, and he was only a second-level apprentice who could use soul stones to cultivate. Pity him Li Fugui, a second-level soul venerable, until now he has never tasted what a soul stone tastes like.
