“Deal? What deal?” Lin Han watched the beautiful lady before him yet his expression was indifferent.

Seeing Lin Han’s indifferent expression made exasperation grow in Lin Ruyan’s heart.

‘Is this stupid Lin Han pretending to be indifferent or is he really entirely uninterested in a beauty like me?’

However, Lin Ruyan felt that the former had a higher possibility since she could see the smiling expression threatening to tug at Lin Han’s eyes.

“Very well, Lin Han, you’re actually pretending to be so calm in front of me!” Lin Ruyan said, feigning anger.

“No, I treat everyone like this.” Lin Han waved his hand dismissively, the smile on his face accentuating his look of innocence.

“Okay, enough with the jokes.”

Lin Ruyan scrunched her nose before her beautiful eyes gleamed as she smiled. “Actually, I’m not the one that wants to make a deal with you. It’s actually another person so I’m only here to help him pass a message.”

“Who is this person?” Lin Han’s eyes flashed with confusion.

“An uncle of mine called ‘Uncle Ghost’.” As Lin Ruyan spoke, her eyes too flashed with confusion. “Uncle Ghost has always been mysterious, he basically never interacts with other people. I wonder why he asked me to seek you out this time. He said that I only need to tell you two words and then you’ll definitely follow me to go see him.”

“What words?” Lin Han’s expression shifted.

“Spirit Master,” said Lin Ruyan slowly, enunciating both words clearly.

What?

Spirit Master?

Lin Han’s flashed with barely-concealed shock but he quickly calmed down. He looked at Lin Ruyan and said, “Bring me to him.”

“Okay.” Lin Ruyan had not understood what ‘Spirit Master’ represented since she was only here to pass on Uncle Ghost’s message.

…

An hour later, night fell.

Lin Han stepped into an old courtyard while Lin Ruyan stood at its entrance and said, “Uncle Ghost is inside. Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you.”

“Okay.”

Lin Han nodded his head before walking deep into the courtyard.

The courtyard under the night seemed reserved and tranquil, the moonlight seemingly unable to penetrate the darkness of the small courtyard.

A spooky atmosphere permeated the entire courtyard.

Lin Han thought to himself, ‘How did this Uncle Ghost know I’m on the path of cultivating as a Spirit Master.

‘Besides, this deal he’s talking about, could it be related to the cultivation of a Spirit Master?’

Could this Uncle Ghost be a mysterious Spirit Master?

Even if he had a million questions, Lin Han knew that all his questions would be answered once he saw this ‘Uncle Ghost’ Lin Ruyan spoke about.

Under the night, the sprinkling of stars in the sky shone down on the deserted courtyard, making it look dim but serene.

Lin Han continued walking inwards, slightly warier now.

Suddenly, as Lin Han expanded his perception, he discovered a peculiar aura and he turned around quickly.

Unbeknownst to him, a strange figure enveloped in a black robe had appeared behind him.

Shock flashed through Lin Han’s eyes; within the hood of the robe were two green will-o’-the-wisps that burned like a pair of ghostly eyes that stared at him.

“Elder, you are?” Lin Han felt a chill run through his body but he greeted the figure with a fist salute.

“I’m the Uncle Ghost that Young Miss spoke about,” a hoarse voice said from within the black robe.

Young Miss?

That should be referring to Lin Ruyan.

Lin Han’s eyes gleamed before he went straight to the point and said, “Senior Uncle Ghost, what deal did you want to make with me?”

“I merely want to form good ties with you,” said Uncle Ghost slowly.

“Good ties?” Lin Han was confused.

“You must be distressed about how to truly enter the path of cultivating as a Spirit Master, right?” Uncle Ghost seemed to have seen right through Lin Han as he spoke with a husky voice and a smile on his face.

“You’re right.” Lin Han nodded his head.

This Uncle Ghost was too mysterious; he could be a Spirit Master with a profound cultivation base.

Besides that, he harbored no ill intentions towards Lin Han, so there was no need to hide his cultivation as a Spirit Master from this person as he had already discovered it.

“You were awakened as an Innate Spirit Master so there definitely exists a Spirit Master cultivation method that’s especially yours deep inside your soul. Maybe it was passed on to you from your ancestors or maybe it was granted to you by the Heavens… No matter which one it is, if you want to obtain that cultivation method, you’ll need to go through a soul guiding process.”

As Uncle Ghost spoke, he suddenly placed a finger right in the middle of Lin Han’s eyebrows before a glimmer of light entered Lin Han’s mind directly.

The next moment, before Lin Han could react, Uncle Ghost had already retracted his hand.

However, Lin Han had managed a glimpse at the very last moment; the hand that had appeared from under Uncle Ghost’s robe was actually made entirely of bone!

Could it be that this black robe was wrapped around a…

“Follow the ‘Soul Guidance Art’ I just gave you and I hope you’ll be able to find your own cultivation method as a Spirit Master in your soul,” said Uncle Ghost slowly, his voice hoarse.

Soul Guidance Art?

At this moment Lin Han could “see” that there was a new mysterious incantation in his memories.

Soul Guidance Art was like a key for Spirit Masters in cultivation. Although it was not valuable, it was essential to opening the chains around one’s soul in the very beginning.

At this moment, Lin Han finally had a clear understanding.
