The old man was confused for a moment before he angrily snapped " you bastard!! Do I look like I would have interest in doing something  your 'weird' to someone of your age much less you are male...." He then said in a low tone " if you were a mature sexy woman I might be interested."

"You pervert" Ling Chen cursed. ' this old man.....thank goodness, I'm not a girl or he might have thought of something weird.'

" Cough...Cough!!" The old man coughed for the sake of not making the situation too awkward and said " it's okay.....I will give you my steller cultivation art and in return when the time comes you have to help me with something."

Ling Chen nodded but then curiously asked " old man, if I'm not wrong, you're a very strong expert yourself and I don't know if I would be able to, even be as strong as you are now. How would I be of any help to you."

The old man smiled " you don't have to worry about that. The art I'm gonna give to is one of best Steller Martial Cultivation Art. Even in the past thousands of years, there weren't many, that were more powerful than this art. As long as you cultivate diligently and Don't die, with your talent when the time comes for you to help me I don't think there would be anyone 'here', who would be stronger than you".

Ling Chen was startled. 'To  think this old man is praising his cultivation art this much, it must be a good art huh..'

'but what did he mean 'here'? In cloud view town or even Blue river city, no is beyond Xiantian realm, at strongest would be peak Xiantian and by the feeling this old man is giving me, he is definitely beyond Xiantian realm. Well forget it, if I'm not strong enough to help him by then, it would be his loss.'

He shrugged his shoulders " okay old man. We have a deal, now give me that Steller cultivation art." Saying this Ling Chen opened his palm and put his hand in front of the old man.

The old man chuckled and said " little rascal it is not something that can be given to you like this. Come forward and close your eyes."

Ling Chen wrinkled his brows.

The old man snapped " you little bastard, what the hell is going on your mind. I'm not that kind of man."

Ling Chen suddenly, burst out laughing" old man, I know. Calm down! You shouldn't get angry like that, it isn't good for your health."

The old man was stunned 'this little piece of shit is making fun of me'. But he calmed his mind down...he then smiled and thought ' it's been a while since I was agitated because of something like this.

The old man then pointed his index finger and touched his forehead. With that, a bright light was released from his finger and entered Ling Chen's mind. Ling Chen felt his mind buzzing and then it turned into pain. A lot of information was being transmitted directly to his mind and was being printed onto his 'mind sea' .when Ling Chen felt that his mind couldn't take it anymore, the light finally vanished, and he lost consciousness right after.

When Ling Chen woke up, he found himself in his room. there was no sign of the mysterious old man. He understood that the old took him home after he passed out. 

He then saw that it was already night,  his head was aching and he could feel a lot of information in his mind that wasn't there before. He calmed his mind down, sat crossed legged and started suitably compiling the information. 

After one hour he sorted out all the information, his mental strength was thoroughly exhausted. he didn't have any strength remaining. He then closed his eyes and directly fell asleep without looking into the complied information.

....

When he woke up, it was already morning and the sun was about to rise.

" Grumble~"

His stomach was making hungry sounds. he hadn't eaten anything for almost 24 hours now. With his weak body that was already lacking in nutrients, couldn't stay hungry for a long period. It is said when you reach the Xiantian realm, you will be able to live without any food for long periods and only need to eat every 20-30 days based on how much Qi you can convert into energy required for the body to function but a Body tempering realm cultivator like him would need to eat like common people.

He stood up and quickly made some food and filled his stomach. Although it was not enough to give him the required amount of energy it was enough for now. He then quickly took a bath and came out in the courtyard wearing only martial arts pyjamas while his upper part was naked. He sat down crossed-legged on a rock and started doing breathing exercises while looking at the information in his mind sea.

After looking for a while he opened his eyes. He had a very happy expression on his face. In his mind was a very powerful cultivation art but the old man has locked the most of information for the latter realms of cultivation which would only unlock after the next realm or in special circumstances. for now only the cultivation techniques for the body tempering realm and houtian realm.
