The next day, Tang San walked out of Yu Xiaogang's study with dark circles under his eyes.

Because after the training yesterday, Yu Xiaogang insisted on pulling him aside, saying that he wanted to tutor him on the knowledge of soul beasts and tell him which soul rings could be absorbed now and which could be absorbed later.

Tang San was so confused after hearing this.

Not long after Tang San walked out of Yu Xiaogang's room, Dashi's door was knocked again.

"Please come in." Yu Xiaogang sat on the bench tiredly. He was exhausted after a night of hard work.

He wanted to feed Tang San so much.

"Bang——" Dashi's door was opened.

The visitor turned out to be the new president of Nottingham College.

"Yu Xiaogang, it's time to pay this month's food expenses." The new dean said coldly.

Ever since the dean of Notting College followed Tang San in hunting souls and never returned, the manager of this college has been this new dean, who was originally the vice-dean.

Moreover, he had received repeated complaints from a certain teacher, the female teacher who had seen Tang San and Xiao Wu being affectionate with each other all the time.

Therefore, he did not have a good feeling towards the master and disciple pair of Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Even the master and disciple did not show any regret for the dean's sacrifice.

Hearing this man's words, Yu Xiaogang's face suddenly turned green.

The reason he was able to eat and drink here for free was because he and the dean had been friends for many years.

Now that the dean is gone, he is no longer a so-called guest official, and no longer has someone to rely on for free food and drinks.

The key is that he is still unwilling to go to class, just like a parent who comes to accompany a giant baby to study.

"How much money do you need this month?" Yu Xiaogang said with difficulty.

He had just handed the gold soul coins in his pocket to Tang San yesterday. If he had known, he would not have pretended like that.

"The price of a standard meal at the academy is five copper soul coins. You have three meals a day, and your good apprentice has to eat five meals a day. Excluding the three meals provided to students every day, it will be twenty-five copper soul coins a day, and seven hundred and fifty a month."

Seven hundred and fifty bronze soul coins equals seven and a half gold soul coins...

Yu Xiaogang's face fell instantly. How could he overlook such a thing? Tang San ate a lot, which was not at all like the appetite of an ordinary level 20 spirit master.

This is because Tang San needs a lot of food to replenish himself, and his travel is restricted. He has no way to go to the black market to buy some ten-year soul beast meat, and Xiao Wu is unwilling to run errands for him to buy such things.

The subsidy that the Spirit Hall gives to soul masters is one gold soul coin per month, and ten gold soul coins for great soul masters.

Yu Xiaogang had been enjoying the salary of a Great Spirit Master for decades, and originally had no problem supporting himself and Tang San, but he now gave all his money to Tang San, because Tang San told him last night that he needed to make money to send back to the Holy Spirit Village (to buy rare metals in the future).

It's not easy to get back the money you gave away.

"This..." Dashi was in a dilemma. "Dean Mo, how about giving me some time? I have spent all my salary this month, and I still need a long time next month. I have ten gold soul coins a month. I can use the salary of the next two months to exchange for three months of meals in the academy. How about that?"

Dean Mo pushed up his glasses and said, "With your math skills, you think you're an expert? Three months of food expenses is more than twenty gold soul coins. How did you calculate it?"

Dashi's face turned green. "That's not what I said. Xiaosan told me that the part-time students here clean the playground and get ten bronze soul coins a day. But when it comes to calculating the wages, three years of hard work only get one gold soul coin. How did you calculate it?"

Dean Mo said impatiently: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the academy. You must hand over all your salaries for the next three months, otherwise you and your disciples will be expelled."

"Okay." Yu Xiaogang said helplessly.

Tiandou City, Martial Spirit Temple.

When Platinum Bishop Salas saw the person coming, he immediately stood up.

Not long ago, a secret order from the Wuhun City headquarters and the Worship Hall was delivered to him, requiring him to unconditionally obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Royal Family.

Salas also joined the Spirit Hall since he was a child and had deep feelings for the Spirit Hall. He immediately understood that there must be something fishy going on.

At this time, it was Snake Spear Douluo who came to find him.

"Greetings, Elder." He bowed respectfully.

"Okay, stop being polite. I'm here to give orders." Snake Spear Douluo said simply and clearly.

"Please tell me."

Snake Spear Douluo thought about what Xiao Shiyue had asked him to do before, and then said: "The Spirit Hall has always provided subsidies for low-level spirit masters, right?"

Bishop Sarath nodded. "Yes, Elder, do you want to see the expenditure data?"

"No, I want to tell you that the higher-ups have decided to implement a measure." Snake Spear Douluo said, "The subsidy is to encourage soul masters to practice, not to make some people parasites."

Sarath immediately looked solemn: "What does it mean?"

"The soul master subsidy remains the same, but in addition to the cultivation level, there is an age limit." Snake Spear Douluo said lightly, "No one over 35 years old can receive it."

"In a few days, this order will also be passed down to the Xing Luo Empire."

"Specifically, it will be reduced gradually. Next month it will be reduced by half, and the month after that it will be reduced to a quarter, and finally it will be cancelled." Snake Spear Douluo said, "Three months is enough time to find a job."

This was proposed by Xiao Shiyue and Qian Daoliu, and then the old man agreed to this matter. Later, the big-mouthed Snake Spear Douluo came to the Tiandou Temple to give the order.

The Xing Luo Empire will personally issue this order after Qian Daoliu returns to the Spirit Hall.

After hearing the order, Sarath nodded quickly. "Yes, yes. Sometimes I see some rogue spirit masters in their fifties or even sixties running to the Spirit Hall to collect subsidies like a big shot, just like giant babies, as if the Spirit Hall owes them money."

"Hmph." Snake Spear Douluo snorted coldly, "Thirty-five years old, below Soul Sect, these two requirements are not high. At this age, or at this level of cultivation, if you can't support yourself, then don't live anymore."

"Unless you join the Spirit Hall and take on various missions to eliminate the Fallen and earn a salary," he added.

Sarath suddenly realized that this was indeed a way of recruiting people.

"Then, what if someone causes trouble?" Sarath asked tentatively.

"Then blast them out and make them go away." Snake Spear Douluo said impatiently, "Do I need to teach you about this? Some people are old, but that's not a reason for them to cause trouble, nor is it a reason for them to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor."

"From what I know, there are people who deliberately stay at level 39 for a little longer, just to get an extra 100 gold soul coins every month."

"Yes." Sarath said respectfully, "I will implement this matter as soon as possible in the Wuhun Branch Hall of the Tiandou Empire."

-----------------

In the second month, Yu Xiaogang came to the Wuhun branch hall in Notting City and only got five gold soul coins.

"Damn Spirit Hall!" Anger was evident in his eyes. "Are you trying to drive me to death?"
