Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

"I was just thinking about improving my cultivation when something came knocking on my door..."

Su Chen smiled slightly.

He would naturally not let go of these beasts that saw him as prey.

He stretched out his right hand, aimed at a black wild boar lying on the ground, and unleashed the Flower Blooming Moment technique.

In an instant, a faint, ethereal red flower slowly bloomed on the wild boar's body.

A wail erupted.

Unlike the difficulty of using the "Flower Blooms in an Instant" technique for the first time, in less than one or two breaths, the flesh of this robust wild boar withered and was completely drained.

Holding the pale pink peach that floated over, Su Chen ate it in one bite.

A faint warmth flowed through his body.

Su Chen carefully sensed it and found that he had only cultivated for about half a year.

"As expected, mortals like these don't gain much in terms of cultivation, far less than demons and monsters. But thankfully, there's a group here..."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In the pitch-black night, time slowly passed.

When Su Chen stopped, not a single wild animal remained in the vicinity.

A thought struck him.

[Realm: Daoist (11%) 113 years of cultivation]

"It's better than nothing..."

Su Chen murmured, "I want more!"

His gaze fell upon the dark, wild mountains.

Su Chen leaped up and down the overgrown wild mountain, searching for any demons or monsters that might be there.

Compared to ordinary wild beasts, he would naturally prefer to refine demons and monsters if he could.

Soon, he discovered something.

He searched for quite a while on this wild mountain, but found no ghosts or monsters; it was nothing like the mass graves he had been searching for.

After a moment's thought, Su Chen understood what was going on.

Mass graves are places with dense yin energy, which have always been prone to breeding ghosts and monsters. Ghosts from outside the area also gather there, and some evil demons also cultivate there.

Naturally, the fact that you could easily encounter unclean things while wandering around a mass grave at night gave him the illusion that ghosts were everywhere.

"It seems that the matter of improving one's cultivation level still has to be addressed at the mass grave..."

Without hesitation, Su Chen leaped up and used his lightness skill to fly on the grass, drifting down the wild mountain.

He was no longer too afraid of the ghost bride; even if he couldn't defeat her, he should be able to escape.

Taking some risks is nothing in order to improve one's cultivation!

He quickly returned to the mass grave.

Sensing the dense yin energy of the mass grave, Su Chen immediately began circling around it, slowly searching for ghosts on the outer perimeter.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened, and the ghosts and monsters in the mass grave hid away one by one.

Su Chen glanced at the sky, lightly touched the ground with his right foot, and floated towards the Zhang family's residence.

As he hurried along, a thought struck him, and he looked at the control panel.

[Realm: Daoist (15%) 157 years of cultivation]

He was in a good mood. "Let's continue tomorrow!"

I just don't know if the ghosts and monsters in this mass grave are enough to extend his cultivation to a thousand years...

Su Chen's figure flashed across the road quickly, and in just a quarter of an hour, he floated back to the east wing of the Zhang family.

After returning to his room, he did not rest. Instead, relying on his considerable cultivation, he stayed up all night to cultivate.

He practiced the Five Animal Frolics, striving to master it and then break through 100 points of comprehension.

At the same time, one can take advantage of the moment of sudden enlightenment when one's comprehension breaks through to a higher level to perfect the Daoist technique of "flowers blooming in an instant".

Time slowly passed.

When he got tired of practicing the Five Animal Frolics, he would go out to the market in Guobei County to see if he could find some martial arts and Taoist techniques.

The current methods are still too few; relying solely on the "flower blooms in an instant" technique is simply not enough.

Without the ability to instantly bloom using Taoist magic, he could only rely on his Taoist cultivation to crush his opponents.

He cultivated during the day and went to mass graves at night to search for ghosts and monsters.

Time passed slowly under these circumstances.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening two days later.

Inside the east wing.

Su Chen paused in his Five Animal Frolics practice as a notification sounded in his mind.

"finally……"

[Mastery of Five Animal Frolics, Comprehension +5]

[Realm: Daoist (22%) 224 years of cultivation]

boom!

Su Chen felt a cool sensation wash over his mind, cleansing his soul and making him feel as if he had returned to his mother's womb, experiencing the profound mystery of innate purity.

"A dragon among men?"

In a daze, he seemed to see towering, elegant figures, truly outstanding individuals.

These were all outstanding figures who made a name for themselves in history and left their mark on it.

Su Chen looked enlightened.

Being called a "dragon among men" means that he has reached the top level among normal people.

For example, in their previous lives, there were figures like Xiang Yu and Lü Bu in terms of martial prowess, figures like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong in terms of strategy, and figures like Zhang Daoling, the Taoist Celestial Master.

If someone were to break through to any higher level, they would probably be considered somewhat abnormal.

Besides, there are probably differences even among the most outstanding individuals.

A genius like him, who barely reaches the level of a dragon among men, is probably just the most ordinary among them.

After all, his comprehension level has only reached 106 points, which is still on the threshold of becoming an outstanding individual.

Taking advantage of the fact that his comprehension had broken through to a new level and the profound state of mind had not yet faded, Su Chen quickly recalled the content of the Daoist technique "Flower Blooms in an Instant".

In a daze, he seemed to see flowers blooming and withering...

He didn't know how much time had passed when he came to his senses and heard a notification sound.

[Entry into the Path of Enlightenment in an Instant Bloom, Comprehension +30]

【Taoist Method: Flowers Bloom in an Instant - Incomplete (29%) (Beginner Level 99%)】

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 136 (A Dragon Among Men)]

A refreshing sensation washed over him, and Su Chen felt his comprehension increase by a small margin, taking him a step closer to a higher level of understanding.

Sensing this situation, Su Chen's eyes showed surprise.

"Even in the blink of an eye, the Daoist arts can be divided into entry-level, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection?"

His attention was focused on the incomplete, 29% completion rate.

It is estimated that the reason why the Daoist flower bloomed and then withered was that the person could not reach the entry level.

As he perfected a portion of the Daoist arts, he naturally reached the entry level.

In fact, if the Daoist Flower were to become even more perfect in an instant, he could even reach the level of minor accomplishment!

Seeing that he was stuck at 99% of the beginner level, Su Chen felt somewhat disappointed and regretful.

He had already gained 30 points of comprehension just from the beginner level. He couldn't even imagine how much more comprehension he would gain after achieving minor mastery!

Thinking of this, Su Chen looked at his 136 points of comprehension.
