xiǎng fǎ shì měi hǎo de ， zhǐ bù guò zài zhèng shì shí shī zhī qián ， hái yǒu xǔ duō wèn tí jí dài jiě jué 。
想法是美好的，只不过在正式实施之前，还有许多问题亟待解决。
The idea was good, but it seemed too good to be true. Most of the cultivators just laughed it off and ignored it.
bǐ rú ， rú jīn de wàn xiān méng ， shì bú shì yǐ jīng yǒu lèi sì de zǔ zhī cún zài le 。
比如，如今的万仙盟，是不是已经有类似的组织存在了。
However, as the news spread, there were a few who took note of it.
zì jǐ zhè me zuò ， huì bú huì chù pèng le bié rén de lì yì ， suí hòu bèi dà néng suí shǒu dǎ shā le 。
自己这么做，会不会触碰了别人的利益，随后被大能随手打杀了。

yī fān chá xún zhī hòu , lǐ fán què shì fàng xià xīn lái 。
一番查询之后, 李凡却是放下心来。
Three months later, in the underground treasure vault behind the Moonlight Hall at the Moonlight Palace...
mù qián ， wàn xiān méng hái bù cún zài dà guī mó 、 yǒu zǔ zhī de jiè dài xíng wéi 。
目前，万仙盟还不存在大规模、有组织的借贷行为。
Countless ancient artifacts were neatly arranged. Li Fan was setting up an array around them.
yī shì yīn wèi ， gòng xiàn dù huò qǔ jiān nán 。
一是因为，贡献度获取艰难。
Since he had not yet gathered enough Daorhymeartifacts, he could only use an array called "Perceiving the Microcosm to Understand the Macrocosm." This array could amplify fluctuations of qi and the resonance of laws to some extent, though it would be somewhat distorted based on the arranger's skill level. But it was sufficient for Li Fan to understand the sea-overturning palm technique.
miǎn qiǎng wéi chí zì shēn xiū xíng yǐ jīng hěn bù róng yì le ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu duō yú de gòng xiàn dù qù jiè gěi páng rén 。
勉强维持自身修行已经很不容易了，哪里还有多余的贡献度去借给旁人。
Just as he was focusing intently on setting up the array, a voice echoed from above Moonlight Lake.
ér lìng wài yí gè hěn zhòng yào de yuán yīn ， jiù shì jiè chū qù róng yì ， xiǎng yào shōu huí lái , kě jiù nán le 。
而另外一个很重要的原因，就是借出去容易，想要收回来, 可就难了。
"Junior disciple Chu Xingyang seeks an audience with the senior disciples of the Moonlight Palace!"
xiū xiān jiè zhè me dà ， xiū shì yǐn cáng shēn xíng de shǒu duàn gèng shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
修仙界这么大，修士隐藏身形的手段更是数不胜数。
"Junior disciple Chu Xingyang seeks an audience with the senior disciples of the Moonlight Palace!"
suí biàn duǒ dào nǎ ge piān pì de shān lǐng zhōng , bì guān gè shí nián wǔ zài , jiù shì bù hái 。
随便躲到哪个偏僻的山岭中, 闭关个十年五载, 就是不还。
The voice repeated several times. Li Fan smiled slightly.
néng yǒu shén me bàn fǎ ？
能有什么办法？
After so long, it seemed that his first customer had finally arrived.
huò xǔ néng yǒu qiáng dà xiū shì néng gòu zuò dào jīng zhǔn dìng wèi ， dàn tā men xiǎng bì shì zì shēn xiū wèi wèi zhòng ， bú xiè yú zuò zhè zhǒng jì fēn shén 、 yòu méi yǒu duō shǎo shí jì shōu yì de shì qíng 。
或许能有强大修士能够做到精准定位，但他们想必是自身修为为重，不屑于做这种既分神、又没有多少实际收益的事情。
But he didn't need to appear himself; he had already set everything up and was waiting for this Chu Xingyang.
bù guò ， tā men bù yuàn yì ， lǐ fán kě shì yuàn yì de hěn 。
不过，他们不愿意，李凡可是愿意的很。
---
fǎn huí míng yuè hú de tú zhōng ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng zài nǎo hǎi zhōng kāi shǐ le duì wèi lái de zhǒng zhǒng móu huà 。
返回明月湖的途中，李凡已经在脑海中开始了对未来的种种谋划。
Above Moonlight Lake, Chu Xingyang shouted a few times. His heart was filled with anxiety as he looked around. The appearance of the Moonlight Palace seemed so sudden, almost like it appeared out of nowhere. Few cultivators from Source Dao Province knew about it. And to be able to lend out cultivation techniques and treasures for others without worrying about recovery—such an offer could only come from a powerful force.
èr shí duō tiān hòu ， lǐ fán huí dào le míng yuè hú 。
二十多天后，李凡回到了明月湖。
Chu Xingyang was just a small Full Qi cultivator. Standing before such a powerful organization, he felt extremely nervous. Moreover, he still didn't know if the Moonlight Palace's offer to lend out cultivation techniques and treasures was real or not. But there was no choice; he had to try it.
sì shí duō tiān shí jiān ， hú dǐ dòng fǔ yǐ jīng xiū jiàn de chà bu duō le 。
四十多天时间，湖底洞府已经修建的差不多了。
If he continued with his previous method of completing tasks and accumulating contributions, it would take at least two to three years before he could achieve the Foundation Establishment realm. That was too long! He couldn't afford that much time!
bù guò zhǐ shì xiē wài biǎo huá lì de jiàn zhù ér yǐ ， chú le wàn xiān zhèn qí ， qí yú yì diǎn fáng wèi shǒu duàn yě shì méi yǒu 。
不过只是些外表华丽的建筑而已，除了万仙阵旗，其余一点防卫手段也是没有。
Just thinking about his childhood love being intimate with another man made Chu Xingyang's heart burn with anger.
chū yú wèi lái de mén miàn yǐ jí ān quán kǎo lǜ , lǐ fán yòu huā le xuè běn ， hào fèi le liǎng wàn diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。
出于未来的门面以及安全考虑, 李凡又花了血本，耗费了两万点贡献度。
Why? Just because the other person was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he himself was just a small Full Qi cultivator?
zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng ， gòu mǎi le yī zuò wán zhěng de 【 kǎn líng huàn bō dà zhèn 】。
在天玄镜中，购买了一座完整的【坎灵幻波大阵】。
In three months, they would get married. He had to achieve the Foundation Establishment realm before that and snatch her back at their wedding!
zhè zhèn fǎ kě hé zhī qián de wàn xiān zhèn qí bù tóng , yí dàn bù zhì hòu , biàn bù kě zài yí dòng 。
这阵法可和之前的万仙阵旗不同, 一旦布置后, 便不可再移动。
Chu Xingyang thought bitterly.
shì hé yī shuǐ ér jiàn , dà zhèn yǒu yǐn cáng 、 fáng hù 、 yù dí děng gōng xiào 。
适合依水而建, 大阵有隐藏、防护、御敌等功效。
Just as he was lost in his fantasies of being with his childhood love, he suddenly noticed a figure silently appearing behind him. Before he could react, he was lifted up by someone.
quán lì jī fā ， jù shuō zú yǐ dǐ yù yuán yīng zhōng qī xiū shì de gōng jī 。
全力激发，据说足以抵御元婴中期修士的攻击。
"Senior disciple, please spare me! Senior disciple, please spare me!"
lǐ fán qīn zì bù zhì 。
李凡亲自布置。
Chu Xingyang shouted desperately.
dāng 【 kǎn líng huàn bō dà zhèn 】 chéng gōng kāi qǐ zhī hòu , kàn zhe hú dǐ dòng fǔ shàng fāng nà yī céng dàn lán sè de fáng hù zhào 。
当【坎灵幻波大阵】成功开启之后, 看着湖底洞府上方那一层淡蓝色的防护罩。
"Stop making noise! You're an old man; why are you so scared?" the voice was clear and full of childishness.
lǐ fán xīn lǐ tà shí duō le 。
李凡心里踏实多了。
Chu Xingyang looked closely and realized that it was a little girl wearing a red dress. She couldn't be more than seven or eight years old!
dòng fǔ zhèng shì luò chéng ， yī fān huān qìng zì shì bì bù kě shǎo 。
洞府正式落成，一番欢庆自是必不可少。
What shocked him even more was that this little girl had Foundation Establishment realm cultivation! A Foundation Establishment cultivator at such a young age! How powerful were the other people in the Moonlight Palace? And who could be their master?
zhòng rén yǔ dòng fǔ mén kǒu jí jié ， kàn zhe zhè zuò hào fèi le jǐ shí tiān xīn xuè de jiàn zhù ， liǎn shàng jù shì xīng fèn mò míng 。
众人与洞府门口集结，看着这座耗费了几十天心血的建筑，脸上俱是兴奋莫名。
No wonder they dared to lend out cultivation techniques and treasures without worrying about recovery.
lǐ fán kàn le kàn ， yòu jué de shǎo le diǎn shén me 。
李凡看了看，又觉得少了点什么。
Chu Xingyang's heart raced with fear, but he was also filled with anticipation. It seemed that the offer of lending out cultivation techniques from the Moonlight Palace wasn't a scam!
yú shì zì tiān xuán xiǎo jìng zhōng gòu mǎi le yī kuài yù biǎn 、 liǎng zūn yù zhù 。
于是自天玄小镜中购买了一块玉匾、两尊玉柱。
---
ān zhì tuǒ dàng hòu 。
安置妥当后。
In the Moonlight Hall, Chu Xingyang was led by the little girl to a small pavilion on the right side.
dìng hǎi shén jiàn cóng dān tián zhōng fēi chū ， lǐ fán bǐ zǒu lóng shé 。
定海神剑从丹田中飞出，李凡笔走龙蛇。
Inside, two women who looked identical were sitting in front.
zuǒ biān yù zhù ， xiě xià 【 cí bēi dù fǎ 】 sì gè dà zì 。
左边玉柱，写下【慈悲渡法】四个大字。
Their figures were graceful and their skin as white as snow. Their beauty far surpassed that of his childhood love.
yòu biān yù zhù ， xiě xià 【 jiù kǔ jiù nàn 】 sì gè dà zì 。
右边玉柱，写下【救苦救难】四个大字。
Chu Xingyang stared blankly until he was slapped by a nearby senior disciple.
zuì hòu ， zài zhōng jiān de yù biǎn shàng ， hè rán xiě shàng le 【 míng yuè gōng 】 sān gè zì 。
最后，在中间的玉匾上，赫然写上了【明月宫】三个字。
He quickly knelt down to apologize.
lǐ fán shōu huí lán sè shuǐ jiàn ， kàn zhe zì jǐ de jié zuò ， mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu 。
李凡收回蓝色水剑，看着自己的杰作，满意的点点头。
"These two must be Golden Core cultivators, for I couldn't tell their cultivation levels from their appearance. How could I have been so blinded by beauty? If they were angry and punished me…" Chu Xingyang shuddered at the thought.
ér sū xiǎo mèi zhòng rén ， kàn zhe lǐ fán de tí zì ， jiē shì dòng róng shī shén 。
而苏小妹众人，看着李凡的题字，皆是动容失神。
Fortunately, the two women didn't blame him; instead, they asked his name and why he had come to borrow a cultivation technique.
sū xiǎo mèi mǎn yǎn dōu shì xiǎo xīng xīng ， xiāo héng 、 sū zhǎng yù yě shì bèi zhè huà lǐ de qì dù zhé fú ， bù néng zì yǐ 。
苏小妹满眼都是小星星，萧恒、苏长玉也是被这话里的气度折服，不能自已。
Chu Xingyang truthfully explained everything. After understanding the situation, the two women disappeared, leaving only the little Foundation Establishment cultivator glaring at Chu Xingyang.
“ cí bēi dù fǎ 、 jiù kǔ jiù nàn ……” ér zuò wéi zhòng rén zhōng hùn jì xiū xiān jiè shí jiān zuì zhǎng zhě ， zhào èr bǎo zé shì bǐ zhòng rén gèng néng míng bái zhè bā gè zì de fèn liàng 。
“慈悲渡法、救苦救难……”而作为众人中混迹修仙界时间最长者，赵二宝则是比众人更能明白这八个字的分量。
Chu Xingyang was drenched in cold sweat as he waited patiently for them to return.
yú shì yù fā gǎo bù qīng lǐ fán de xiū wèi ， xīn zhōng dùn shí yì diǎn xiǎo xīn sī dōu shì bù gǎn yǒu le 。
于是愈发搞不清李凡的修为，心中顿时一点小心思都是不敢有了。
---
shuài lǐng zhòng rén jìn rù míng yuè gōng , cān guān qǐ zhè zuò xīn xiū jiàn de dòng fǔ qǐ lái 。
率领众人进入明月宫, 参观起这座新修建的洞府起来。
"Senior sister, do you think this person who wants to borrow cultivation techniques and treasures to snatch his childhood love is a high-risk customer? Should we not agree to his request?" Yin Yujian asked.
míng yuè gōng zhàn dì fāng yuán wǔ lǐ 。
明月宫占地方圆五里。
"No, that's wrong. Think about it; he chose the day of someone else's wedding to cause trouble."
zhǔ tí jiàn zhù chéng bàn shí zì pái liè 。
主题建筑呈半十字排列。
"Even if he fails in snatching his childhood love, others will only beat him up but won't kill him."
zuì zhōng jiān shì míng yuè diàn , jì huà zhōng shì yòng lái yì shì 、 zhāo dài chǎng suǒ 。
最中间是明月殿, 计划中是用来议事、招待场所。
"And at twenty-eight years old, he has already reached Full Qi realm. He is a high-quality customer according to what Senior Sister said."
zuǒ yòu liǎng cè fēn bù zhe zhòng rén de jū suǒ 。
左右两侧分布着众人的居所。
"He is also our first customer to come here…"
ér míng yuè diàn hòu fāng yī xì liè jiàn zhù , zé shì yòng lái fàng zhì tiān xuán jìng 、 ān zhì bǎo cún dào yùn gǔ wù 、 lǐ fán bì guān zhī suǒ děng 。
而明月殿后方一系列建筑, 则是用来放置天玄镜、安置保存道韵古物、李凡闭关之所等。
"Yes, this business can be done," Yin Yuting concluded.
mù qián míng yuè gōng hái zhǐ shì yī zuò kōng ké ， nèi bù zhuāng shì 、 zhuō yǐ děng dōu méi yǒu 。
目前明月宫还只是一座空壳，内部装饰、桌椅等都没有。
"This is the cultivation technique and treasure he wants. You go get it from the senior disciple."
bù guò sì shí tiān shí jiān ， néng zuò dào zhè ge dì bù ， lǐ fán yǐ jīng hěn mǎn yì le 。
不过四十天时间，能做到这个地步，李凡已经很满意了。
Yin Yujian nodded and took the note from her sister before running off to where Li Fan was meditating.
chú le nà wǔ qiān diǎn gòng xiàn dù de zuò yòng wài ， tiān bǎo lóu yīn yuè tíng jiě mèi ， yǐ jí sūn zhāng ， dōu chū le hěn dà de lì qì 。
除了那五千点贡献度的作用外，天宝楼殷玥婷姐妹，以及孙章，都出了很大的力气。
"I know about this matter; here you are."
yóu qí shì sūn zhāng ， zhè míng yuè gōng de jiàn zhù bù jú ， hái shì tā jīng xīn shè jì de 。
尤其是孙章，这明月宫的建筑布局，还是他精心设计的。
Before she could speak, a storage ring flew over.
fēn fù zhòng rén jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān ， jǐn kuài jiāng míng yuè gōng zhuāng shì wán zhěng hòu 。
吩咐众人接下来一段时间，尽快将明月宫装饰完整后。
Yin Yujian stuck out her tongue as she bowed respectfully. Then she left without looking back.
lǐ fán lái dào le bì guān chù 。
李凡来到了闭关处。
"Senior sister, can you sense if lending these items will be lucky or unlucky?" Yin Yuting asked.
fēn shēn zì cóng míng yuè gōng luò chéng zhī hòu ， jiù yì zhí dài zài cǐ chù 。
分身自从明月宫落成之后，就一直待在此处。
Holding the storage ring, Yin Yujian closed her eyes and sensed it. Her eyelashes trembled slightly before she smiled: "A small fortune! Senior Sister, we can lend them."
bú shì fā dāi ， ér shì zài pò jiě zhāng zhì liáng jiāo gěi lǐ fán de nà ge xiǎo hēi xiá shàng de fēng yìn fǎ zhèn 。
不是发呆，而是在破解张志良交给李凡的那个小黑匣上的封印法阵。
Yin Yuting sighed in relief as she took the storage ring out of the arrayed room and approached Chu Xingyang.
huò xǔ zhè jù fēn shēn chǐ duó le yī bù fèn hé zhèng hào zài zhèn fǎ shàng de tiān fù de yuán gù ， pò jiě qǐ lái ， bǐ qǐ zhāng zhì liáng yù jì de yào kuài le xǔ duō 。
或许这具分身褫夺了一部分何正浩在阵法上的天赋的缘故，破解起来，比起张志良预计的要快了许多。
"Third-grade human treasure: [Unwilling to Fall]. Foundation Establishment cultivation technique: Purple Radiant Starlight."
lǐ fán gū jì ， zài guò bàn nián duō de shí jiān ， jiù néng jiāng fēng yìn jiě chú 。
李凡估计，再过半年多的时间，就能将封印解除。
"The two things you want are inside this storage ring. The total value is 9,500 contributions. How will you repay it?"
duì yú zhè lǐ miàn yǒu xiē shén me ， lǐ fán hái shì xiāng dāng qī dài de 。
对于这里面有些什么，李凡还是相当期待的。
Chu Xingyang's eyes lit up as he looked at the storage ring in Yin Yuting's hand.
jiē xià lái yī duàn shí jiān ， míng yuè gōng zhòng rén yī rán guò dé fēi cháng máng lù 。
接下来一段时间，明月宫众人依然过得非常忙碌。
The future of his life was tied to that storage ring. He gritted his teeth and said: "I choose to pay monthly for three years."
zài jiāng ruò dà de míng yuè gōng zhuāng xiū de yù fā chōng shí de tóng shí ， shàng wàn jiàn dào yuán gǔ wù yě shì quán dōu ān quán de wán chéng le zhuǎn yí 。
在将偌大的明月宫装修的愈发充实的同时，上万件道源古物也是全都安全的完成了转移。
Yin Yuting nodded and took out a contract.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lǐ fán què shì zì jǐ qiāo qiāo yí gè rén ， lái dào le yuán dào chéng ， kāi shǐ sàn bù qǐ xiāo xī lái 。
与此同时，李凡却是自己悄悄一个人，来到了源道城，开始散布起消息来。
"Come, sign it, and you can take this storage ring away."
màn màn de ， wàn xiān méng xǔ duō liàn qì xiū shì ， dōu zhī dào le yuán dào zhōu biān chuí ， yǒu yī zuò bā bǎi lǐ míng yuè hú 。
慢慢的，万仙盟许多炼气修士，都知道了源道州边陲，有一座八百里明月湖。
Chu Xingyang's face was agitated as he casually glanced at the contract before signing his name on it.
míng yuè hú nèi yǒu yī zuò míng yuè gōng 。
明月湖内有一座明月宫。
"Don't forget to transfer contributions to me every month. Otherwise, I'll come to your place to collect them. Do you understand?"
zhǐ xū yì diǎn diǎn wēi bù zú dào de dài jià ， liàn qì yuán mǎn xiū shì ， biàn kě yǐ zài míng yuè gōng nèi ， jiè dé zhù jī gōng fǎ hé qí wù ， tí qián zhù jī 。
只需一点点微不足道的代价，炼气圆满修士，便可以在明月宫内，借得筑基功法和奇物，提前筑基。
"Never think about running away; even though the cultivation world is vast, there's no hiding place for someone who owes us!"
děng zhù jī zhī hòu ， zài màn màn cháng huán xiāng yìng jià zhí de gòng xiàn dù jí kě 。
等筑基之后，再慢慢偿还相应价值的贡献度即可。
Sister Su glared at Chu Xingyang as she said this.
yào zhī dào ， zhù jī xiū shì zhuàn qǔ gòng xiàn dù de sù dù kě bǐ qǐ liàn qì xiū shì kuài duō le 。
要知道，筑基修士赚取贡献度的速度可比起炼气修士快多了。
Chu Xingyang shivered and nodded vigorously, saying he understood.
nà yī nián bǎi fēn zhī sān shí liù de lì xī ， gēn tí qián jǐ nián zhù jī dài lái de shōu yì xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。
那一年百分之三十六的利息，跟提前几年筑基带来的收益相比，简直可以忽略不计。
After receiving the storage ring, Chu Xingyang was almost in tears of joy. He bowed to the two columns outside before leaving with a determined face.
zhè jiàn shì tīng shàng qù tài hǎo le ， yǐ zhì yú míng xiǎn xiàng gè piàn jú 。
这件事听上去太好了，以致于明显像个骗局。
He found a safe place and began his Foundation Establishment cultivation.
suǒ yǐ dà duō shù liàn qì xiū shì dōu shì yī xiào zhì zhī 。
所以大多数炼气修士都是一笑置之。
"Ha ha, I did pretty well!" Su Xiao meowed as she rubbed her small face after seeing that Chu Xingyang had left.
zhǐ shì chuán bō de guǎng le ， zǒng yǒu nà me yī liǎng gè jiāng zhè jiàn shì jì zài le xīn zhōng 。
只是传播的广了，总有那么一两个将这件事记在了心中。
"But is what we're doing really reliable? That's 9,500 contributions! Can we get it back? What if this person suddenly dies?" Su Xiao asked with a hint of worry.
The idea was good, but it seemed too good to be true. Most of the cultivators just laughed it off and ignored it.
However, as the news spread, there were a few who took note of it.
---
Three months later, in the underground treasure vault behind the Moonlight Hall at the Moonlight Palace...
Countless ancient artifacts were neatly arranged. Li Fan was setting up an array around them.
Since he had not yet gathered enough Daorhymeartifacts, he could only use an array called "Perceiving the Microcosm to Understand the Macrocosm." This array could amplify fluctuations of qi and the resonance of laws to some extent, though it would be somewhat distorted based on the arranger's skill level. But it was sufficient for Li Fan to understand the sea-overturning palm technique.
Just as he was focusing intently on setting up the array, a voice echoed from above Moonlight Lake.
"Junior disciple Chu Xingyang seeks an audience with the senior disciples of the Moonlight Palace!"
"Junior disciple Chu Xingyang seeks an audience with the senior disciples of the Moonlight Palace!"
The voice repeated several times. Li Fan smiled slightly.
After so long, it seemed that his first customer had finally arrived.
But he didn't need to appear himself; he had already set everything up and was waiting for this Chu Xingyang.

Just thinking about his childhood love being intimate with another man made Chu Xingyang's heart burn with anger.
Why? Just because the other person was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while he himself was just a small Full Qi cultivator?
In three months, they would get married. He had to achieve the Foundation Establishment realm before that and snatch her back at their wedding!
Chu Xingyang thought bitterly.
Just as he was lost in his fantasies of being with his childhood love, he suddenly noticed a figure silently appearing behind him. Before he could react, he was lifted up by someone.
"Senior disciple, please spare me! Senior disciple, please spare me!"
Chu Xingyang shouted desperately.
