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 still overlooked one point. Although he was empty-headed and was not worried about the erosion of impurities in the spiritual water's strange light,... it took time to absorb a spiritual water's strange light, and he could not
Mixing dozens of spiritual water miraculous lights together and using them directly will interfere with each other and cause the spiritual water miraculous lights 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 such desperate and almost crazy actions.
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, which was even
Together with the phase force flowing in it, it has become 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 more fourth-level spiritual water rays.
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 is actually acceptable to Li Luo, but... when he continues to use this method for future promotions, his whole person feels 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.
Doesn't that mean that from fifth to sixth grade, nearly a million gold pieces will be consumed?
Rank six to seven...that's 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 industries in the entire Luo Lan Mansion was only about a few million gold.
He devoured the Luo Lan Mansion alive, so it would be difficult for him to provide the huge 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 light he would refine in the future would probably be unique on the market.
One portion. From this point of view, learning the phase-quenching technique has to 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 phase tempering master, 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 didn't 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 started taking spiritual water to enhance the light.
Phase of nature.
And this all-out cultivation 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 at 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, Luolan 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 Gu Guanshi smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "The big manager is right, Luolan Mansion has nine chambers of commerce in Tianshu County, eighteen minerals, pharmaceutical products... Just because the mansion has
Due to the changes in the past year, the three companies in Tianshu County have been encroaching on us a little bit, and the Song family is the most serious among them. Two of the nine chambers of commerce have been broken up by the Song family through various means this year.
Finally he swallowed it again."
Cai Wei's beautiful eyes are a bit cold. Luolan Mansion made its fortune in Nanfeng City, Tianshu County. Since then, it has risen at an astonishing speed to become one of the four major mansions in Daxia.
However, in addition to Luolan Mansion, there are three other major families in Tianshu County. Although these three families cannot compare with the complete Luolan Mansion in terms of overall size, they are also considered established forces in Tianshu County.
Deep-rooted and profound.
When the two family heads were still alive, 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 Luo Lan Mansion and started to take advantage of it.
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 been using various means to interfere, suppress, and embezzle Luolan Mansion in Tianshu County.
chamber of commerce, industry.
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 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 Luo Lan Mansion, it is impossible for him to step on them first.
There is no morality, it's just that the positions are different, so naturally one should treat the other party as an enemy.
But...now Luolan Mansion really can't spare any extra energy to put out the fire in Tianshu County. After all, other places need support everywhere, and with the presence of Pei Hao...it even attracts the attention of Luolan Mansion.
Adding insult to injury.
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, the 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.
Da da.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Cai Wei said please 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 small matter that I have 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.
"Purchase another hundred copies? Fourth-grade spiritual water and strange light?"
Cai Wei couldn't help but clenched her hands. How many days had she managed Luolan Mansion's finances in Tianshu County? Was she about to go bankrupt?
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.
