Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Su Chen turned and floated towards the outer edge of the mass grave.

This ghost bride was likely attracted by his massacre of the ghosts in the mass grave.

Before breaking through to the Daoist Child realm, he decided to stay away from the mass grave and at most scavenge some ghosts and monsters on the outskirts.

He had only walked a dozen or so feet when he saw a child ahead, a child sitting on a swing in a dead tree.

He was barefoot with bound feet, completely naked, his face was pale to the point of being bluish, and his eyes were large and excessively dark, which inexplicably aroused pity, softened one's heart, and made one want to get closer.

A thought flashed through Su Chen's mind, and he instantly made a guess: "A ghost infant?"

In ancient times, it was called Yinwa, Yewazi, or stillborn ghost.

Seemingly noticing him, a flash of greed crossed the ghost baby's eyes.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a shadow and rapidly drifted towards him, attempting to perch on his shoulder and absorb his yang energy.

Without hesitation, Su Chen pointed his finger and used the Daoist technique "Flowers Bloom in an Instant".

The approaching ghost infant let out a series of shrill screams, its body rapidly dimming and becoming ethereal.

Instead, pale gray flowers gradually grew on his shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

A pale gray peach flew in.

Holding another pale gray peach about the size of a thumb, Su Chen ate it in one bite.

His internal magical power was increasing.

[Realm: Daoist Novice (87%), 87 years of Daoist cultivation]

"Soon!"

Su Chen murmured.

As he drifted away from the mass grave, he searched for ghosts and monsters to hunt.

However, before he could find the ghost, something else had already set its sights on him.

Not far away, beside a mound of loess.

Five stray dogs with grayish-black fur, filthy bodies, drooling mouths, and green eyes were lying beside a dug-out mound of yellow earth, eating something, I don't know.

A crackling sound could be faintly heard.

Sensing his approach, the five stray dogs immediately stopped munching on their food, their green eyes revealing ferocity and hostility.

They gradually gathered around, and a putrid stench wafted on the wind.

Su Chen frowned, clearly sensing the eerie aura and stench emanating from the five stray dogs.

Before he could even make a move, suddenly, as if sensing something, the five stray dogs tucked their tails between their legs and whimpered as they ran away.

Su Chen sensed something and glanced over.

A woman dressed in white, with a delicate and frail appearance, ran towards them with panicked eyes and panting breath.

"Young master, my name is Juan'er. I was chased here by villains. Are there any houses ahead?"

"It's getting late, would you like to walk together for a while?"

Her eyes revealed panic and trepidation, yet also a hint of provocation.

Seeing this, Su Chen was speechless.

"What did I do to offend this thing that it wants to humiliate my intelligence like this?"

In the dead of night, on the outskirts of a mass grave, a strange woman appears out of nowhere. Something just doesn't seem right. How could anyone possibly fall for it?

"Uh, no, it seems like this is the typical pattern for these kinds of things, and quite a few people have fallen for it..."

Su Chen thought to himself, speechless.

He squinted slightly and carefully examined the beautiful woman.

When she first appeared, he thought she was some kind of ghost, but after carefully sensing her, he found that she didn't have any yin energy at all.

As she drew closer, a faint, alluring scent emanated from her.

Su Chen had a guess in his mind.

Noticing that he was lost in thought, Juan'er looked puzzled and asked cautiously, "Young Master?"

Su Chen snapped out of his daze, staring at the woman who seemed to be trying to seduce him. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and used the "Blooming Flower in an Instant" technique.

Juan'er's expression changed, as she felt an invisible wave enveloping her.

At first she didn't understand what was going on, but the next second she let out a strange scream.

Her figure twisted and vanished completely, replaced by a fiery red fox.

Clearly, the woman's figure from before was an illusion created by the fox spirit.

"What is this thing?!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Hu Juan was going crazy as she felt her vital energy and spiritual cultivation being rapidly drained by this strange flower.

Without saying a word, she fiercely charged towards the boy not far away.

Who would have thought that she, who spent her days hunting geese, would one day have her eyes pecked out by geese!

"You damn well better die!"

Hu Juan's mouth split open, revealing sharp teeth, and her claws, incredibly sharp, lashed out at the boy's neck with lightning speed.

Watching her darting figure, Su Chen shook his head slightly, once again clearly sensing the flaw of the Daoist Flower's instantaneous bloom.

The fox demon in front of her must have decades of cultivation, which is why Hua Kai could not kill her immediately, and she was even able to resist.

Su Chen wasn't in a hurry; he drifted backward while stalling for time.

Claws and a fox tail came flying.

Unable to dodge, Su Chen used his palm, which was covered in magical power, to block and deflect the attack.

Seeing that she couldn't defeat him in a short time, and that her vital energy and cultivation were being continuously drained, making her weaker and weaker, Hu Juan became frightened and turned to run away.

Su Chen took a step and lightly chased after him.

She tried to escape, but he chased after her; she couldn't escape even if she had wings.

As they ran, a pale red peach, brimming with life and imbued with the essence of ten years of cultivation, fell from Hu Juan's body and flew into his sleeve.

Before Hu Juan could feel resentment or joy, and before the flower that had absorbed her essence and cultivation could disappear, Su Chen once again unleashed the Flower Blooming in an Instant.

In an instant, another illusory flower gradually bloomed on her back.

"Ah! Monster!"

"What the hell are you?!"

Hu Juan screamed in terror.

soon.

After a few breaths, she could no longer run and lay on the ground wailing and begging for mercy.

A moment later, she turned into ashes, and a slightly smaller, pale red peach flew into Su Chen's hand.

Looking at the two peaches in his hand, Su Chen felt a surge of anticipation. "They should be ready soon!"

Without saying a word, he picked up a slightly smaller, pale red peach and put it in his mouth.

It melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed through his body.

[Realm: Daoist Novice (92%), Ninety-two years of Daoist cultivation]

Only one pale red fruit, imbued with ten years of cultivation, remains...

Su Chen took a step and his figure flickered, drifting away from the mass grave.

Fifteen minutes later, he left the area of ​​the mass grave and came to a wild mountain.

In the pitch-black environment, rustling sounds and wolf howls could be heard intermittently.

Su Chen didn't pay attention. He took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and put the pale red peach into his mouth.

An even larger warm current flowed freely through his body.

Soon, the magical power within his body reached its limit and began to undergo a qualitative change!

boom!

Su Chen's body was rapidly transforming, and a strange fragrance wafted from his body.

The sparse spiritual energy in the world was also rapidly surging towards him.

Su Chen's body is becoming increasingly unlike that of an ordinary person.

A notification sounded.
