Hearing this, Hong Fu's eyes lit up in delight, but after a moment he quickly calmed himself down and said, "Sir, you said this would get me out three or four times out of ten. Although I know fate is untimely, I'm naturally unwilling to take such odds, what can I do to improve?"
Smiling, Di Tou said, "For one thing, against a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if they're poor like me, it's unlikely they'll think very highly of your wealth, thus although your thought of holding a portion behind in order to create a transaction is clever, unless you're against someone extremely greedy, it's unlikely it'll have much meaning. And against such a figure, it's likely that they'll always think you're holding out on them, so it'll be hard to succeed. In such a situation, it's better to give everything up and be forthright about it. Do all you can, and leave the rest to fate."
