179: Flying stars will never destroy the galaxy! My master is a flower thief

"Two stars, one finger, one Divine Ability? What are they?" Ye An asked eagerly.

Goodness, these famous skills sound numerous, even if he didn't know how powerful they were!

But for Ye An, who had no family background to speak of, this was definitely a godsend!

The Manor Elder said with a smile,

"The two stars are the Star Gazing Art and the Flying Star Art!"

"You already know the Star Gazing Art; it is a Dual Cultivation method for both strength and Mental Energy!"

"And this Flying Star Art is a Heaven-grade Secret Manual for movement techniques. When performed, your speed will be like a shooting star, traveling through the Nine Great Provinces in a day!"

"Of course, it's not truly possible to fly through nine provinces in a single day. It just means this Flying Star Art can boost your speed to the extreme!"

"Extreme? How fast is that?" Ye An asked eagerly.

The Manor Elder pondered for a moment and then said,

"Within the same Realm, no one can catch you in terms of speed!"

"If they are one Realm higher than you, you can still fight to a draw!"

"If they are two Realms higher, then you won't be able to escape!"

Ye An gasped in amazement. Goodness, he could even fight to a draw with someone one Realm higher!

Didn't this mean that with his current Nascent Soul Realm strength, if he could learn the Flying Star Art...

He would possess the speed of the Mahayana Realm?

This also meant that if he encountered a Mahayana Realm expert, he wouldn't fear them at all!

After all, if he couldn't win, he could just run!

Since the opponent's speed would be the same as his, as long as he kept running, they wouldn't be able to catch him. It would just come down to who could run longer!

"What about the 'one finger, one Divine Ability'?" Ye An continued to ask.

The Manor Elder smiled and said,

"Let's talk about the Divine Ability first. It's called Undying Star River!"

"It's a Physique Divine Ability. When performed, it allows you to Body Transformation Star River!"

"That is, to transform yourself into countless stars, like a Star River!"

"As for its uses, there are many!"

"For example, after transforming into a Star River, you can pass through walls through cracks, or even enter some narrow areas!"

"Before your strength reaches Void Realm traversal, this is a Divine Ability that can serve as a substitute!"

"Secondly, it can also evade or even weaken the opponent's attack effects!"

"For instance, if an opponent strikes at you with a saber, and you feel unable to resist it head-on, then Body Transformation Star River!"

"The starlight can easily avoid the saber gleam, allowing you to receive the most minor damage, or even completely evade the opponent's attack!"

At this point, the Manor Elder still reminded him,

"Of course, while the Undying Star River Divine Ability is powerful, it doesn't truly make you Immortal and indestructible!"

"If the opponent's strength is too great, and they possess things like Formation refining, even a Star River body won't hold up!"

"So, if you can't win, run. This is the first lesson a Cultivator must Master!"

Ye An nodded upon hearing this.

He still had that much awareness!

After introducing the Undying Star River, the Manor Elder then spoke of the last finger technique!

"This last finger technique, ah, is the most important of all!"

"It is also my Master's renowned ultimate skill!"

"Is that so? What is it called? Could it be the Flying Star Finger?" Ye An asked.

After all, the Flying Star Art, Star Gazing Art, and Undying Star River were all related to stars.

So this finger technique should logically also be related to stars!

However, the Manor Elder laughed and said,

"Shallow. Do you think because my Master is called Immortal Flying Star, and his residence is called Flying Star Manor, all his Cultivation Techniques must involve stars?"

"Listen carefully, this final finger technique is called Stealing Fragrance Finger!"

"Stealing Fragrance Finger? Is that skill name... proper?" Ye An couldn't help but ask.

He had a feeling that Stealing Fragrance Finger sounded a bit improper!

The Manor Elder laughed when he heard this and said,

"Young man, you are still too young!"

"This Stealing Fragrance Finger is my Master's most proud finger technique!"

"Do you know how many miracles my Master created relying on the Flying Star Art and Undying Star River?"

"In his earlier years, my Master, relying on the Flying Star Art and Undying Star River, these one art and one Divine Ability, once traveled through the Nine Great Provinces!"

"The treasures he acquired were countless, including herbs, weapons, Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, and so on!"

As he spoke, the Manor Elder pointed to the Three-Layered Tower beside them!

"All the treasures my Master acquired in his life are stored in the Three-Layered Tower!"

"That is both his battle record and his honor!"

Ye An eagerly said,

"That amazing? Does that mean Immortal Flying Star had to fight everyone he encountered whenever he saw a treasure he liked in a new place?"

"To get the treasure he wanted?"

The Manor Elder scoffed at this.

"Shallow. Fighting? My Master detests fighting the most!"

"Anything my Master took a fancy to, he naturally took directly!"

"Where can Undying Star River not go?"

"With Flying Star Art in hand, who can catch up?"

Ye An was stunned when he heard this.

"A thief?"

"After all that, your Master is a petty thief!"

The Manor Elder quickly said,

"What petty thief? Can you even speak properly!"

"My Master is Immortal Flying Star, known by the nickname 'Saint of Thieves'!"

"Saint of Thieves? Isn't that still a thief!" Ye An was completely speechless, but at the same time, he realized,

"You just said that the items in the Three-Layered Tower, I could take them out and sell them if I wasn't afraid of death!"

"So, what you meant by 'not afraid of death' was not being afraid of the original owners of those items discovering and hunting me down!"

"I thought you were kindly reminding me about the danger of possessing valuable treasures!"

The Manor Elder quickly waved his hand and said,

"Don't mind these details!"

"A true man should prioritize the bigger picture!"

"And what do you mean 'still a thief'? Even if my Master was a thief, he wasn't just any ordinary thief!"

"Did you forget? My Master also has the Stealing Fragrance Finger!"

Ye An was momentarily stunned, then he realized he hadn't asked what the Stealing Fragrance Finger actually did!

"Then tell me, how does having this Stealing Fragrance Finger make him not a thief?"

The Manor Elder laughed and said,

"When this Stealing Fragrance Finger is used, it strikes directly at the vital point, causing both men and women to feel their hearts surge!"

"With this finger technique, my Master had endless romantic encounters, even being accompanied by Powerful Families' princesses, imperial princesses, Sect Saintesses, and even fox spirits from the Monster Realm!"

"He was once hailed by the world as a 'Romantic Young Master'! His good reputation spread far and wide!"

"And it is precisely because of this Stealing Fragrance Finger that my Master set the rule of passing it on to male Disciples, not female Disciples!"

"After all, if this Stealing Fragrance Finger fell into the hands of a female Disciple, it would most likely be used on herself!"

"So, in order not to bury my Master's renowned ultimate skill!"

"It naturally had to be passed on to male Disciples!"

"After all, only male Disciples can truly carry forward this Stealing Fragrance Finger!"

"And re-establish my Master's prestige from when he was alive, wouldn't you agree?"

Ye An was completely numb when he heard this.

"Goodness, I just thought your Master, my Master, was a thief!"

"Now you're telling me, my Master was also a flower thief?"

As Ye An spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Forget it. To be able to come here is enough to show my fated connection with Immortal Flying Star!"

"Since there's a fated connection, and I've come, and even passed the assessment!"

"Then I can't leave empty-handed, can I?"

"A flower thief is a flower thief. After all, the finger technique itself isn't wrong; the fault lies with the user!"

"Don't worry, when I get this Stealing Fragrance Finger, I will certainly punish evil and promote good, and absolutely not engage in flower-picking deeds!"

"Manor Elder, can you teach me the Stealing Fragrance Finger now?"

The Manor Elder, however, frowned when he heard this.

"What did you say? You won't engage in flower-picking deeds?"

"How can that be!"

"My Master set this 'pass to male, not female' rule precisely hoping that future Disciples would restore his glory as Immortal Flying Star!"

"Now you're telling me you won't engage in flower-picking deeds?"

"Then I'll have to reconsider whether to accept you as my Master's final Disciple!"

Ye An immediately felt numb upon hearing this, thinking to himself,

"Damn it, I'm trying to be serious with you, and you're coming at me with this perversion?"

"Then let's see who's more perverse!"

Thinking this, Ye An quickly said,

"Manor Elder! I was just teasing you!"

"Just look at my image and temperament, who else but me could be Immortal Flying Star's final Disciple?"

"Don't worry, with this Stealing Fragrance Finger in my hands, I will certainly restore Revered Master's Flying Star reputation!"

"And you, how could you be so amazing, picking me out from the vast crowd!"

"This Stealing Fragrance Finger is simply tailor-made for me!"

As he spoke, Ye An gave a thumbs-up.

"Manor Elder, you're the best!"

"You're truly a great judge of character!"
