“ fǎn huǐ ? xiào huà ! wǒ lǐ mǒu rén cóng lái shuō yī bù èr 。” lǐ fán yī liǎn ào rán dào 。
“反悔?笑话!我李某人从来说一不二。”李凡一脸傲然道。
"Regret? Ha! I, Li Fan, never go back on my word," said Li Fan with an air of arrogance.
“ nà biàn dìng xià le ， wǒ ruò shì shū le ， biàn zì yuàn fàng qì xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》。 nǐ ruò shì shū le ma ….”
“那便定下了，我若是输了，便自愿放弃修行《坐山诀》。你若是输了嘛….”
"That being the case, let it be so. If I lose, I will voluntarily give up cultivation of *Zuoshan Jue*. And if you lose..."
lǐ fán lěng lěng kàn zhe hé zhèng hào ：“ wǒ yě bù wéi nán nǐ ， chú le lì kè yào gǎi huàn gōng fǎ zhī wài ， hái yào bǎ nǐ cái chǎn fēn wǒ yí bàn jiù hǎo !”
李凡冷冷看着何正浩：“我也不为难你，除了立刻要改换功法之外，还要把你财产分我一半就好!”
Li Fan coldly stared at He Zhenghao: "I won't make things difficult for you. Besides changing your cultivation method immediately, just split your assets with me in half!"
hé zhèng hào liǎn sè dà biàn ：“ zhè zhè zhè ……”“ qián bèi ! nǎ yǒu zhè yàng dǔ de !“
何正浩脸色大变：“这这这……”“前辈!哪有这样赌的!“
He Zhenghao's face turned pale: "This... This..." "Senior! How can one bet like this?"
“ ń ?“ lǐ fán yǎn zhōng lù chū yī sī shā yì ， hǔ dé hé zhèng hào xīn zhōng jiào kǔ bù dié ， lì mǎ bì zuǐ 。” rú jīn de wàn xiān méng ， kě yǒu shén me zhū rú wén qì zhī lèi de dōng xī ?” lǐ fán suí kǒu wèn dào 。” zǒng bù néng guāng shuō wú píng ma ! nǐ jué de ne ?”
“嗯?“李凡眼中露出一丝杀意，唬得何正浩心中叫苦不迭，立马闭嘴。”如今的万仙盟，可有什么诸如文契之类的东西?”李凡随口问道。”总不能光说无凭嘛!你觉的呢?”
"Hmm?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Fan’s eyes, causing He Zhenghao to squirm uncomfortably and quickly shut his mouth. "Does the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have any such documents as a written agreement?" Li Fan casually asked.
hé zhèng hào nǎ lǐ gǎn shuō bú duì ， zhǐ dé yìng zhe tóu pí cóng tiān xuán xiǎo jìng zhōng gòu mǎi le yī zhāng shāng qì shū 。
何正浩哪里敢说不对，只得硬着头皮从天玄小镜中购买了一张商契书。
"Can't just rely on verbal promises!" Li Fan prodded, "What do you think?"
lǐ fán jiē guò qì shū ， zhuāng zuò dì yī cì jiàn dào de yàng zi ， zǐ xì yán jiū le yī fān ， lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de biǎo qíng 。 suí hòu biàn zài qí shàng xiě xià le shuāng fāng yuē dìng shì xiàng ， zài bǎ qì shū jiāo gěi le hé zhèng hào 。
李凡接过契书，装作第一次见到的样子，仔细研究了一番，露出若有所思的表情。随后便在其上写下了双方约定事项，再把契书交给了何正浩。
He Zhenghao dared not say anything wrong and reluctantly bought a commercial contract from the Heavenly Xuan Small Mirror.
hé zhèng hào kàn zhe qì shū shàng zhè jí wéi kē kè de nèi róng ， bù miǎn yǒu xiē yóu yù 。
何正浩看着契书上这极为苛刻的内容，不免有些犹豫。
Li Fan took the contract, pretending to study it for the first time, and wrote down their agreed terms before handing it back to He Zhenghao.
“ qī bā tiān shí jiān ， shí wǔ wàn biàn èr shí wǔ wàn 。 zhè jī hū shì bù kě néng wán chéng zhī shì 。 wǒ de shèng lǜ ， hái shì tǐng dà de 。”
“七八天时间，十五万变二十五万。这几乎是不可能完成之事。我的胜率，还是挺大的。”
Seeing the harsh conditions on the contract, He Zhenghao hesitated. "Seven or eight days, fifteen thousand contributions turning into twenty-five thousand. This is almost impossible to achieve. My chances of winning are quite good."
rú jīn rén wéi dāo jiě ， wǒ wèi yú ròu 。 dǔ biàn dǔ bà !” hé zhèng hào shén sè bù duàn biàn huàn ， zuì zhōng hái shì yìng zhe tóu pí zài shāng qì shū shàng xiě xià le zì jǐ de míng zì 。
如今人为刀姐，我为鱼肉。赌便赌罢!”何正浩神色不断变换，最终还是硬着头皮在商契书上写下了自己的名字。
Now that I'm the meat and you're the knife, let's just bet it all! With his expression constantly changing, He Zhenghao finally reluctantly signed his name on the commercial contract.
liǎng dào jīn guāng ， fēn bié tóu rù lǐ fán yǔ hé zhèng hào tǐ nèi 。
两道金光，分别投入李凡与何正浩体内。
Two beams of golden light entered Li Fan and He Zhenghao’s bodies.
qì yuē jì chéng 。
契约既成。
The contract was now in place.
lǐ fán biàn shuō dào ：“ hǎo le ， xiǎo zi 。 kuài bǎ shí wǔ wàn ná chū lái ba !“
李凡便说道：“好了，小子。快把十五万拿出来吧!“
"Alright, boy. Quickly hand over the fifteen thousand!" said Li Fan.
hé zhèng hào yǒu xiē máng rán ：“ shén me shí wǔ wàn ?”
何正浩有些茫然：“什么十五万?”
He Zhenghao looked bewildered: "What fifteen thousand?"
lǐ fán dèng le hé zhèng hào yī yǎn lǐ suǒ dāng rán de shuō dào ：“ dāng rán shì nǐ de shí wǔ wàn gòng xiàn dù ! wǒ gāng gāng sū xǐng ， yòu bú shì nǐ men wàn xiān méng zhī rén 。”
李凡瞪了何正浩一眼理所当然的说道：“当然是你的十五万贡献度!我刚刚苏醒，又不是你们万仙盟之人。”
Li Fan glared at him and said with a sense of entitlement: "Of course, your fifteen thousand contributions! I just woke up; I'm not part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
“ nǎ lǐ yǒu zhè me duō gòng xiàn dù qù wán chéng dǔ yuē !”“ zì rán shì yào jiè nǐ de gòng xiàn dù yī yòng 。” hé zhèng hào xiān shì yī lèng ， suí hòu chè dǐ huāng le 。
“哪里有这么多贡献度去完成赌约!”“自然是要借你的贡献度一用。”何正浩先是一愣，随后彻底慌了。
"Where do you have so many contributions to fulfill this bet!" "Naturally, I'll borrow yours." He Zhenghao was initially stunned but soon panicked.
yào zhī dào rú guǒ zhǐ shì dǔ yuē shū le ， zuì duō yě zhǐ shì péi shàng yí bàn 。
要知道如果只是赌约输了，最多也只是赔上一半。
Knowing that losing a bet would only cost him half, but if his investment failed, he could lose everything, was a lesson he had learned through blood and tears. Despite the palpable killing intent from Li Fan, he firmly shook his head in refusal.
dàn ruò shì tóu zī shī bài ， nǎ pà quán bù péi guāng yě bú shì bù kě néng !
但若是投资失败，哪怕全部赔光也不是不可能!
After all, neither party could harm each other until the contract was fulfilled.
zhè kě shì tā hé zhèng hào zhè me duō nián lái yòng xuè lèi zǒng jié chū de jiào xùn 。
这可是他何正浩这么多年来用血泪总结出的教训。
He Zhenghao refused to part with his assets, no matter how much Li Fan threatened him.
nǎ pà miàn duì zhe lǐ fán rú shí zhì bān huán rào de shā yì ， yě shì jiān jué yáo tóu jù jué 。
哪怕面对着李凡如实质般环绕的杀意，也是坚决摇头拒绝。
Thinking that Li Fan would turn hostile, He Zhenghao was surprised when instead, Li Fan adopted a smile. "Boy, don't worry. During this bet, I'll stay here and won't leave."
fǎn zhèng qiān dìng shāng qì shū de shuāng fāng ， zài qì yuē shàng wèi wán chéng zhī qián ， shì wú fǎ hù xiāng shāng hài de 。
反正签订商契书的双方，在契约尚未完成之前，是无法互相伤害的。
"And your contributions will not be handled by me; just give suggestions," said Li Fan. "In the end, you will personally oversee it. If you think it's not right, I won't force you."
hé zhèng hào rèn zhǔn zhè diǎn shuō shén me yě bù kěn bǎ zì jǐ de lǎo běn ná chū lái 。
何正浩认准这点说什么也不肯把自己的老本拿出来。
Li Fan’s words seemed to have a hypnotic charm that made He Zhenghao relax his guard without realizing.
yuán běn yǐ wéi lǐ fán huì fān liǎn ， shuí zhī tā fǎn ér huàn shàng le yī fù xiào mī mī de miàn róng 。
原本以为李凡会翻脸，谁知他反而换上了一副笑眯眯的面容。
"If he says so, then the final decision is mine, and there's no real risk," thought He Zhenghao.
“ xiǎo zi ， nǐ fàng xīn 。 dǔ yuē qī jiān ， wǒ jiù zài cǐ chù hé nǐ yì qǐ ， bú huì lí kāi 。”
“小子，你放心。赌约期间，我就在此处和你一起，不会离开。”
Soon after, He Zhenghao, still in a daze, sold off all his scattered investments. With some hesitation, he lost a little but ended up with 148,500 contributions.
“ ér mù nǐ de gòng xiàn dù ， wǒ bù jīng shǒu 。 zhǐ shì gěi chū cāo zuò jiàn yì 。”
“而目你的贡献度，我不经手。只是给出操作建议。”
"Alright, He boy, let me show you my skills."
“ zuì hòu hái shì yǒu nǐ qīn zì bǎ guān 。 ruò shì nǐ jué de shí zài bù tuǒ ， wǒ yě bú huì miǎn qiǎng 。”
“最后还是有你亲自把关。若是你觉得实在不妥，我也不会勉强。”
He Zhenghao, who was inwardly groaning, saw Li Fan suddenly emit an unknown energy wave, causing his clothes to move without wind. He closed his eyes and rapidly pressed his fingers as if sensing something.
lǐ fán de huà fǎng fú yǒu yī zhǒng gǔ huò rén xīn de mó lì 。
李凡的话仿佛有一种蛊惑人心的魔力。
He Zhenghao stood silently beside him, not daring to disturb. Li Fan calculated for three full days.
ràng hé zhèng hào zài bù zhī bù zhī jué jiān jiù fàng sōng le jǐng tì 。“ zhào tā zhè me shuō de huà ， zuì zhōng jué dìng quán zài wǒ ， nà me yě què shí méi shén me fēng xiǎn 。
让何正浩在不知不知觉间就放松了警惕。“照他这么说的话，最终决定权在我，那么也确实没什么风险。
His face gradually turned pale, but the aura around him grew stronger with each passing moment.
jiù zhè yàng ， bù jiǔ zhī hòu ， hé zhèn hào xī lǐ hú tú de bǎ zì jǐ fēn sàn gè chù de tóu zī quán bù tào xiàn 。
就这样，不久之后，何振浩稀里糊涂的把自己分散各处的投资全部套现。
He Zhenghao could barely understand what was happening but knew that Li Fan must be at a critical juncture.
yóu yù bǐ jiào cōng máng ， shāo wēi sǔn shī le yī xiē 。
犹豫比较匆忙，稍微损失了一些。
Without a breath of air, he stared intently at Li Fan. "Edict!"
shí jì yī gòng dào shǒu shí sì wàn bā qiān wǔ bǎi diǎn gòng xiàn dù 。 děng tā huí guò shén lái shí ， hòu huǐ yǐ jīng lái bù jí le 。“ hǎo le ， hé xiǎo zi ， qiě kàn wǒ shǒu duàn 。”
实际一共到手十四万八千五百点贡献度。等他回过神来时，后悔已经来不及了。“好了，何小子，且看我手段。”
Li Fan suddenly shouted and pointed skyward.
zhèng zài àn zì jiào kǔ bù dié de hé zhèng hào ， zhǐ kàn jiàn lǐ fán shēn shàng dǒu rán bào fā chū mò míng de néng liàng bō dòng ， yī shang wú fēng zì dòng 。
正在暗自叫苦不迭的何正浩，只看见李凡身上陡然爆发出莫名的能量波动，衣裳无风自动。
He Zhenghao saw an aura of purple energy break through the array and fly towards the heavens.
ér tā zé shì shuāng mù wēi bì ， shǒu zhǐ lián qiā ， sì hū zài gǎn yìng shén me 。
而他则是双目微闭，手指连掐，似乎在感应什么。
"What kind of divine power is this..." He Zhenghao thought in surprise.
hé zhèng hào zhǐ dé jìng lì yī páng ， bù gǎn dǎ rǎo 。 lǐ fán ， zhè yī suàn ， jiù shì zú zú sān tiān 。
何正浩只得静立一旁，不敢打扰。李凡，这一算，就是足足三天。
After a moment, Li Fan abruptly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips. "Got it!"
tā de miàn sè zhú jiàn biàn dé cāng bái ， dàn shēn shàng de qì shì què shì suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì bù duàn zēng qiáng 。
他的面色逐渐变得苍白，但身上的气势却是随着时间的流逝不断增强。
He Zhenghao was stunned: "What got it?"
hé zhèng hào suī rán kàn bù tài dǒng ， dàn shì yě míng bái duì fāng yīng gāi shì dào le jǐn yào guān tóu 。
何正浩虽然看不太懂，但是也明白对方应该是到了紧要关头。
Li Fan asked instead: "Does the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have *Wugu Yashí*?"
dāng xià dà qì yě bù gǎn chū ， jǐn jǐn dīng zhe lǐ fán 。“ chì !”
当下大气也不敢出，紧紧盯着李凡。“敕!”
"What is *Wugu Yashí*?" He Zhenghao frowned and searched in the Heavenly Xuan Small Mirror.
lǐ fán hū de dī hē yī shēng ， cháo tiān yī zhǐ 。
李凡忽的低喝一声，朝天一指。
After a while, he replied: There is such an item. A rare material for refining artifacts, although valuable, its uses are limited."
hé zhèng hào biàn kàn dào shì shì yǒu dào zǐ qì ， chōng pò dà zhèn ， fēi wǎng cāng qióng ér qù le 。
何正浩便看到似是有道紫气，冲破大阵，飞往苍穹而去了。
"Why do you ask about this, senior?" He Zhenghao felt puzzled.
“ zhè shì shén me shén tōng ……”” tā xīn zhōng àn zì chī jīng 。
“这是什么神通……””他心中暗自吃惊。
"Buy all fifteen thousand contributions on it!" Li Fan said resolutely.
piàn kè zhī hòu 。 lǐ fán huò rán zhēng kāi yǎn ， zuǐ jiǎo fú xiàn chū yī sī xiào róng 。“ yǒu le !”
片刻之后。李凡豁然睁开眼，嘴角浮现出一丝笑容。“有了!”
He Zhenghao was shocked: "Why?"
hé zhèng hào zhèng zhù ：“ shén me yǒu le ?”
何正浩怔住：“什么有了?”
Li Fan impatiently replied: "Divine secrets cannot be revealed. Just buy it! The profits from these fifteen thousand contributions depend on this one move!"
lǐ fán bù dá fǎn wèn ：“ rú jīn de wàn xiān méng ， kě cún zài 【 wū gǔ yào shí 】 zhè zhǒng dōng xī ?“”” wū gǔ yào shí ?” hé zhèng hào zhòu qǐ méi tóu ， zài tiān xuán xiǎo jìng zhōng sōu suǒ qǐ lái ，
李凡不答反问：“如今的万仙盟，可存在【乌古曜石】这种东西?“””乌古曜石?”何正浩皱起眉头，在天玄小镜中搜索起来，
He Zhenghao finally understood and looked incredulous: "This is your investment strategy, senior?"
guò le piàn kè 。
过了片刻。
Li Fan sneered: "Boy, you didn't even know where I was when I cultivated *Zuoshan Jue*. How dare you question me now?"
tā huí dá dào ： shì yǒu zhè dōng xī 。 yī zhǒng hǎn jiàn de liàn qì cái liào ， suī rán zhēn guì ， dàn shì yòng chǔ bù duō 。”
他回答道：是有这东西。一种罕见的炼器材料，虽然珍贵，但是用处不多。”
He Zhenghao opened his mouth but ultimately submitted to Li Fan’s authority without arguing.
“ qián bèi nǐ wèn zhè ge gàn má ?“ hé zhèng hào dùn jué yǒu diǎn mò míng qí miào 。
“前辈你问这个干嘛?“何正浩顿觉有点莫名其妙。
As a seasoned investor, He Zhenghao did not rush to buy the *Wugu Yashí* as Li Fan urged. Instead, he carefully examined its details first.
“ shí wǔ wàn gòng xiàn dù ， quán bù mǎi tā !“ lǐ fán zhǎn dīng jié tiě dào 。
“十五万贡献度，全部买它!“李凡斩钉截铁道。
"This stone's main and only use is to create an *Wugu Xingzhou*, which can freely travel through underground veins."
hé zhèng hào dà chī yī jīng ：“ wèi hé ?
何正浩大吃一惊：“为何?
"Although it exists in limited quantities, its price fluctuates little."
lǐ fán bù nài fán de shuō dào ：“ tiān jī bù kě xiè lòu ， nǐ zhǐ guǎn mǎi biàn shì ! shí wǔ wàn gòng xiàn dù néng zhuàn duō shǎo ， jiù kào zhè yī bō le !””
李凡不耐烦的说道：“天机不可泄露，你只管买便是!十五万贡献度能赚多少，就靠这一波了!””
"While we might not make a profit, losing money seems unlikely."
hé zhèng hào zhōng yú fǎn yìng guò lái ， mǎn liǎn bù gǎn zhì xìn ：“ zhè jiù shì qián bèi nǐ de tóu zī zhī dào ?“
何正浩终于反应过来，满脸不敢置信：“这就是前辈你的投资之道?“
"For now, I'll follow his lead. With four days left before the bet ends, I don't believe this stone will skyrocket in value so quickly."
lǐ fán nì xié shì tā yī yǎn lěng xiào dào ：“ xiǎo zi ， wǒ xiū xíng 《 zuò shān jué 》 de shí hòu ， nǐ hái bù zhī dào zài nǎ ne ! xiàn zài jū rán gǎn zhì yí wǒ ?“
李凡睨斜视他一眼冷笑道：“小子，我修行《坐山诀》的时候，你还不知道在哪呢!现在居然敢质疑我?“
Seeing Li Fan impatiently urging him on, He Zhenghao thought for a moment and made up his mind.
hé zhèng hào zhāng zhāng zuǐ ； zuì zhōng pò yú lǐ fán de yín wēi ， yě bù gǎn fǎn bó 。
何正浩张张嘴；最终迫于李凡的淫威，也不敢反驳。
"Alright, since senior insists, I’ll do as you say."
bù guò zuò wéi hé gé de tóu zī rén ， hé zhèng hào méi yǒu tīng lǐ fán de zháo jí mǎi rù ， ér shì xiān mò mò zǐ xì chá kàn zhè 【 wū gǔ yào shí 】 de zī liào qǐ lái 。
不过作为合格的投资人，何正浩没有听李凡的着急买入，而是先默默仔细查看这【乌古曜石】的资料起来。
The price of *Wugu Yashí* was 280 contributions per pound. As he bought it, He Zhenghao said to Li Fan: "Senior has been in slumber for a long time; remember that the world is different now from ancient times."
“ zhè shí tou de zuì dà yě shì wéi yī de yòng chǔ ， jiù shì yòng lái dǎ zào kě yǐ zì yóu zài dì mài zhōng chuān suō de 【 wū gǔ xíng zhōu 】。”
“这石头的最大也是唯一的用处，就是用来打造可以自由在地脉中穿梭的【乌古行舟】。”
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance uses the Heavenly Xuan Mirror to control the market, so prices are usually stable."
“ cún shì liàng hé liú tōng liàng jūn bǐ jiào shǎo ， jià gé bō dòng yě bǐ jiào xiǎo 。”
“存世量和流通量均比较少，价格波动也比较小。”
"Small fluctuations might occur, but senior wants to get rich through this method..."
“ suī rán wèi bì huì zhuàn ， dàn kuī yīng gāi shì bù dà kě néng de 。
“虽然未必会赚，但亏应该是不大可能的。
He Zhenghao shook his head.
“ zàn qiě tīng tā de 。 lí dǔ yuē jié shù hái yǒu sì tiān ， wǒ jiù bù xìn ， zhè dōng xī hái zhēn néng zài duǎn shí jiān nèi fān le tiān bù chéng 。”
“暂且听他的。离赌约结束还有四天，我就不信，这东西还真能在短时间内翻了天不成。”
Li Fan coldly replied: "Stop whining. Just wait and see!"
yǎn jiàn lǐ fán zài yī páng bù nài fán de cuī cù ， hé zhèng hào sī kǎo le huì ， àn zì zuò le jué dìng 。
眼见李凡在一旁不耐烦的催促，何正浩思考了会，暗自做了决定。
"How can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator know my Heavenly Destiny Sect’s divine power?"
“ hǎo ba ， jì rán qián bèi nǐ zhí yì yāo qiú ， nà me wǒ jiù zhǐ hǎo zhào bàn le 。”
“好吧，既然前辈你执意要求，那么我就只好照办了。”
Though He Zhenghao wasunwilling to accept (displeased), he closed his mouth, holding back his anger to watch Li Fan's humiliation. Two days later, in his astonishment, the price of *Wugu Yashí* skyrocketed.
wū gǔ yào shí de jià gé wèi 280 diǎn gòng xiàn dù yī jīn 。 hé zhèn hào yī biān gòu rù ， yī biān duì lǐ fán shuō dào ：“ qián bèi chén shuì xǔ jiǔ ， xū zhī rú jīn de shì jiè yǐ jīng hé yuǎn gǔ shí hòu bù tóng le 。”
乌古曜石的价格为280点贡献度一斤。何振浩一边购入，一边对李凡说道：“前辈沉睡许久，须知如今的世界已经和远古时候不同了。”

"Regret? Ha! I, Li Fan, never go back on my word," said Li Fan with an air of arrogance.
"That being the case, let it be so. If I lose, I will voluntarily give up cultivation of *Zuoshan Jue*. And if you lose..."
Li Fan coldly stared at He Zhenghao: "I won't make things difficult for you. Besides changing your cultivation method immediately, just split your assets with me in half!"
He Zhenghao's face turned pale: "This... This..." "Senior! How can one bet like this?"
