Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

On the hemp rope.

The old man with the hanged ghost stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous that this seemingly small child could break free from his spell.

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

The next second, a brown hemp rope flew out and went straight for Su Chen's neck.

Su Chen frowned slightly, and with a flick of his right hand imbued with magic, the flying rope immediately started to smoke and was sent flying away.

A mournful, desolate scream emanated from the old man who had hanged himself.

Before he could scream any longer, Su Chen kindly used the Flower Blooming Moment technique to help him escape.

Faced with the Flower Blooming Moment unleashed by eleven years of cultivation, this old hanged ghost, who could only be considered a minor demon, was utterly powerless to resist.

"what……"

After a while, the wailing and pleas for mercy subsided completely.

Su Chen held the pale gray fruit and ate it in one bite.

[Realm: Daoist Novice (15%), 15 years of cultivation]

Su Chen was in a good mood and murmured, "Come on, let me see just how many demons and monsters are in this mass grave..."

He walked through the gloomy mass graves, gaining much knowledge along the way.

Aside from ghosts like hanged ghosts who seek a substitute.

The mass graves are mostly inhabited by wandering spirits. They are mentally impaired, do not actively harm people, and like to follow people around muttering incoherently.

He wouldn't bother with ghosts that didn't take the initiative and seemed weak.

Of course, other ghosts who took the initiative were not so lucky.

Faceless Ghost, Lying Ghost, Corpse-Binding Ghost, Corpse Spirit, White Bone Demon, Soul-Eating Ghost, Tomb Spirit...

In just half an hour, he had killed nine ghosts who had tried to attack him.

During this process, he also noticed the flaw in the instantaneous blooming of the Daoist flower.

It can only be used within a range of three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and each time it can absorb a maximum of ten years' worth of cultivation.

Demons and monsters with cultivation levels exceeding ten years cannot be killed instantly by Taoist magic; they must be killed multiple times.

Furthermore, the "Flower Blooms in an Instant" spell can only be cast again after the previous "Flower Blooms in an Instant" effect has worn off!

During this period, if it weren't for the effectiveness of his light-footed flying technique and his relatively high level of cultivation, he might have been in trouble.

A rustling sound rang out.

Walking through the dark, cold, and putrid mass grave, Su Chen's heart stirred, and his gaze fell upon the control panel.

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

Lifespan: 51 days

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 49 (A Rare Talent)]

【功法:草上飞（大成1%）、伏虎拳（大成1%）、清虚养元决（大成1%）、五禽戏（小成1%）、吐纳术（入门56%）】

【Taoist Method: Flowers Bloom in an Instant - Incomplete (1%)】

[Realm: Daoist Novice (82%), 82 years of Daoist cultivation]

"Eighty-two years of cultivation, and the young disciple's realm is almost at the stage of transformation..."

Anticipation arose in Su Chen's heart.

I wonder what lies beyond the Daoist Child realm?

When can one become a legendary immortal or deity?

After thinking about all this, his attention turned to the Daoist Flower Blooming Moment, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's ultimately incomplete. If only the Daoist Flower Blooming Moment were complete..."

In that case, there wouldn't be any defects, right?

Su Chen's gaze fell on comprehension.

He's just a little bit short of enlightenment. With the enlightenment level of a good talent, he can reach the next level. If he can also enter a state of sudden enlightenment at that time, he might be able to perfect the "flower blooms in an instant" technique!

During this period, find some time to master the Five Animal Frolics or comprehend the breathing techniques to a minor level, and that should be about right!

In addition, as the Daoist disciple's cultivation level increases, their comprehension also grows significantly, which can also solve this problem!

Seeing that only a few points remained before he could break through to the next level of the Daoist Child realm, Su Chen felt both curious and expectant.

As he was deep in thought, he suddenly sensed something, his expression hardened, and he looked into the distance.

In the dark and gloomy mass grave, streaks of red light appeared out of nowhere.

A gentle, unhurried sound of wedding processioning instruments rose from afar.

Several men dressed in wedding attire, their faces pale and bloodless, were approaching, playing the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

A dozen or so stiff-bodied maids followed closely behind, each holding a red lantern.

One by one, red lanterns adorned with the character "囍" (double happiness) appeared, their lampshades bright red, yet no flames were visible, creating an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

The bridal sedan chair was painted red, with red silk hanging low and tassels motionless. The curtains were tightly closed, and it was so quiet that it didn't look like it was carrying a living person.

There was no groom or matchmaker by the sedan chair. The eight men carrying the sedan chair walked in unison, their feet landing without making a sound.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

The men carrying the sedan chair and the maids holding the lanterns had suddenly transformed into paper figures of men and women with crimson cheeks, looking quite eerie, interspersed with ugly-looking ghosts.

A massive surge of yin energy swept in.

As the bridal sedan chair drew near, a light, cheerful laugh came from inside.

"Husband, where are you going?"

The voice was mournful and melancholy.

Hearing this eerie voice, a look of seriousness appeared in Su Chen's eyes.

An old ghost with at least a hundred years of cultivation!

Su Chen's footing faltered, and he drifted backward.

"My husband, you cannot escape. Once you step onto this joyous ground, you will belong to me!"

"On the auspicious day and time three days from now, I will lead the wedding procession to welcome my husband..."

The woman's voice was calm, as if stating a given fact, or as if stating that Su Chen was already her possession.

As the mist rose, the wedding procession gradually disappeared into the distance.

However, Su Chen's mood did not relax for long, and he appeared quite solemn.

At some point, a crimson rope emanating an eerie aura appeared on his right wrist, tightly binding it.

It seemed to be some kind of mark, signifying that he was now that of the female ghost.

Su Chen clearly felt that as the red rope wrapped around his hand, his body was slowly weakening, and even his soul showed signs of leaving his body.

He could already imagine what would happen at midnight three days later.

The moment he was being escorted to his wedding was the moment he died and his soul departed!

"I never imagined that this mass grave would also harbor a being similar to the Tree Demon Granny?"

Su Chen's expression was solemn.

On a whim, he tried using his internal magic to remove the red string from his right wrist.

As the magic power eroded the red rope, a puff of black smoke rose up, and the red rope emitted waves of yin energy. In the process, it tightened more and more, causing him a sharp pain.

Su Chen stopped.

He clearly sensed the immense power of the red rope's owner; this red rope was something he couldn't remove with his current magical abilities.

It seemed that his fate was sealed three days later; he was destined to die and become an appendage of that ghost.

Is it in imminent danger?

Do not!

This could be an opportunity!

"As long as I can raise my strength to above the level of a Daoist disciple within three days, then it's hard to say who will devour whom!" Su Chen thought with a cold look in his eyes.

When he devours this ghost with the Flower Blooming Instantly, his magical power and cultivation will skyrocket!

Let's see how fast he can improve his magical power and cultivation in these three days!
