Hearing Tang Yichen’s question, Mo Weiran was initially stunned, then, with a dazed expression, shook his head.
Ancient Martial Arts?
It was his first time hearing about this thing today.
Seeing Mo Weiran shake his head, Tang Yichen then explained to him what Ancient Martial Arts were, what Auxiliary Items were, and what contracts were.
After listening to the explanation, Mo Weiran was even more stunned.
"So...so, Fourth Master, are you an Ancient martial artist?" Mo Weiran asked Tang Yichen with a dazed look.
Upon hearing this, Mo Weiran felt surprise on top of what had seemed inevitable.
"Then I...can I now cultivate Ancient Martial Arts?"
Tang Yichen nodded again, "As long as you have a suitable Cultivation Technique, you can indeed cultivate."
What Tang Yichen didn’t say was that even without the contract with Soul’s Return to Hometown, Mo Weiran still had the talent to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts, only that his talent was average.
The talent for cultivating Ancient Martial Arts is divided from high to low into five levels: Divine, Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with the four levels of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow further divided into Primary, Middle, Later, and Peak stages.
Before making the contract with Soul’s Return to Hometown, Mo Weiran’s talent was only at the Middle Phase of the Yellow Level.
But after the contract, his Ancient Martial Talent greatly improved, jumping straight to the Peak of the Profound Level.
Holy moly, what kind of unbelievable luck had he stumbled upon?!
With Tang Yichen explaining to Mo Weiran, Gu Zhiqi saved the trouble of explaining, and watching Mo Weiran lazily asked, "So, do you still want the flower?"
"Yes! I want it!" Mo Weiran nodded frantically, extending his arms towards Gu Zhiqi to receive his spiritual companion, no, his partner.
However, Gu Zhiqi didn’t hand it over to him but raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a casual tone, "Debt note."
In the end, with a heart both in pain and joy, Mo Weiran wrote a debt note for Gu Zhiqi.
After all, the temptation to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts was too great for him.
Gu Zhiqi reluctantly accepted the debt note, after all, with Mo Weiran being such a poor ghost, who knew when he could pay back the money.
Compared to a debt note with an uncertain repayment date, she would have preferred the flower.
After reluctantly pocketing the debt note, she handed the flower over to Mo Weiran.
Mo Weiran raised his hand and took the flower. As soon as he touched the flowerpot, he distinctly felt a deep bond with the flower.
He could even sense that there seemed to be a life inside the flower.
It was at that moment that Mo Weiran truly believed that he had indeed made a contract with the flower.
Holding the flower and gazing at it for some time, he finally looked up at Gu Zhiqi and said, "Miss, I have a question for you."
Gu Zhiqi looked at Mo Weiran, silent.
"Do you... also practice Ancient Martial Arts?"
He suddenly remembered how Gu Zhiqi had previously pinned him against a wall with one move.
Moreover, since Tang Yichen was an Ancient martial artist, and Miss Gu seemed quite familiar with him, it meant that she should know Ancient Martial Arts too, right?
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow without saying a word, which was as good as confirming it.
Because Mo Weiran already knew about Gu Zhiqi’s fortune-telling, and now that he knew that Ancient martial artists really existed in this world, and having personally experienced being injured by one, Mo Weiran was only momentarily shocked by Gu Zhiqi being an Ancient martial artist before he quickly accepted it.
Clutching the flower and looking at it for quite a while, Mo Weiran suddenly thought of a very important question, "So, Fourth Master, do you know where I could buy a Cultivation Technique?"
He had written a debt note and made a contract with Soul’s Return to Hometown, but now the question was, without a cultivation technique, how was he going to practice Ancient Martial Arts?
