Was this one of the wondrous mysteries of night? Had the little animal turned into a lioness in such short a time? There was a mixture of incomprehension and awe within Konrad's eyes as he stared into Jasmine's.

　　His silent stare carried on long enough for discomfort to settle within her.

　　"Why are you staring at me like that?"

　　She asked after a moment. But Konrad only tilted his head to the left and maintained his silent stare.

　　"By any chance, are you a newly reincarnated soul?"

　　"What?"

　　"Nothing…"

　　He cleared his throat, discarding his doubts and reorganizing his thoughts.

　　"I already wanted to teach you. You needed not ask. The problem is I have no idea of what you're suited for? The martial path? The spiritual path? Both?"

　　"So, let's first return to my chambers. I will bring you to a special place and teach you some mnemonics. If you can comprehend them, it will make everything else much easier for the both of us."

　　Apt.i.tudes for the spiritual and martial paths could only be tested in two ways. The straightforward way of being given mnemonics to comprehend or being checked for a special physique that favored a path over the other.

　　If the comprehension level was sufficiently high, both paths could be cultivated. However, there was only so much time, so unless there also was a special physique to facilitate cultivation, most people would just focus on the one they were best at.

　　"I'm warning you though, the mnemonics I will teach you are of a high standard so don't be discouraged if you fail to comprehend them."

　　The resolve within Jasmine's eyes was unchanged. And seeing that undaunted side of her, Konrad's appraisal of her rose to a higher level.

　　Without delay, he brought her back to the quarters he shared with his two roommates and pulled out his spatial pouch.

　　"Don't be afraid."

　　He rea.s.sured before tossing the spatial pouch above their heads. It enlarged, released boundless suction force, and swallowed them both within its world.

　　They landed in the miniature world right in front of the mansion that caused Jasmine's eyes to widen with disbelief. She wasn't as surprised by the s.p.a.ce treasure as she was by its content.

　　This lavish five-story tall building was styled in an architecture that seemed completely foreign to her and inwardly, she wondered if her vision was too narrow or she'd been brought to another universe.

　　"Come."

　　Konrad extended his hand toward her, she accepted it, and together they went inside. The sky-high walls, damask ground and towering chandeliers that covered the ceiling were initially hard to digest. But quickly, she got used to the mansion's luxuries, and by the time they reached the room Konrad had chosen for them, her eyes no longer moved left and right.

　　The queen sized bed and velvet sheets standing in the middle of the room, the flame-red decorations that breathed pa.s.sion, and the lack of unnecessary furniture made clear the room's purpose.

　　Jasmine's cheeks were flushed red, something that didn't escape Konrad's watchful eyes.

　　"Don't let your thoughts drift. That will only happen if you can comprehend the mnemonics."

　　He laughed. An unbridled laugh that caused a sense of shame to flash within Jasmine's eyes. But quickly, she set it aside. In any case, wasn't the plan to press him hard enough that he wouldn't have any energy left for the others. That being the case, there was no need to be bashful!

　　In tandem, they sat cross-legged on the bed and Konrad imparted the mnemonics of the Hundred Flowers Scripture onto her. While changing cultivation methods wasn't too great an issue, it usually harmed the foundation. For that reason, most people would stick with one method for a lifetime and directly go for the highest they could afford.

　　However, methods within the system that could be upgraded didn't have that issue since the upgrades were for all intent and purposes a higher version of the same technique.

　　For that reason, Konrad felt at ease cultivating and imparting the Hundred Flowers Scripture onto her.
