Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

The two monks, Master Jingming and Master Jingming, were completely dumbfounded.

Just moments before, they were worried about the emergence of this century-old ghost king, lamenting that major events might occur in the nearby villages and Guobei County.

And then there's the thought that some unlucky soul might have been chosen by this Ghost King.

The next moment, a man in white appeared in front of the Ghost King's wedding procession and effortlessly defeated the Ghost King.

"Master, this is a hundred-year-old Ghost King!"

"Did I see wrong?"

Huizhen swallowed hard.

He could hardly believe that the centuries-old Ghost King, whom he and his master would avoid, was so easily defeated by one person.

Thinking of the way the white-clad figure had floated over, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, was that person a human or a ghost? How could they fly, and how were they so powerful?"

The words were spoken.

With a bang.

The old monk Jingming gave him a heavy tap with his right hand and scolded, "You brat, what the hell are you talking about? Don't be so disrespectful and say such taboo things."

"That wasn't a ghost, but what it was, I don't know either..."

He had just carefully sensed it, but he did not detect any yin energy or ghostly energy.

Huizhen clutched her head, gasped, and murmured, "It's not a ghost, then..."

He was horrified when he thought about it.

"immortal?!"

Huizhen exclaimed in shock.

The old monk Jingming shook his head slightly; he didn't know what it was either, even if it was a deity.

As he pondered this, his mind was filled with doubt.

Who exactly is this person?

Is there such a thing near Guobei County?

The Venerable Master Jingming secretly noted down what happened here today.

……

Zhang Family Residence.

In the east wing.

Soft moans came from Su Chen's sleeve.

Then, the wails disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Whether it was the ghost bride or the other four ghosts, they were all transformed into peaches by him.

Without hesitation, Su Chen picked up a pale gray peach and ate it.

It's cool and refreshing, melts in your mouth, and feels like eating ice cream.

A warm current flowed through his body, nourishing his body and soul, making him stronger and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at the control panel.

[Realm: Taoist (49%) 495 years of Taoist cultivation]

"I'm still a little short of having accumulated five hundred years of cultivation..." Su Chen said with some regret.

However, he didn't regret it for long. He was only five years short of completing his cultivation, and he could just go to the mass grave again tomorrow.

Without that troublesome ghost bride, all the ghosts in the mass grave became his provisions!

I just don't know if I can help him raise his cultivation level to a thousand years.

He was really looking forward to breaking through to the next level of the Daoist realm, where his lifespan would increase and his comprehension would soar.

Looking at the 141 points of comprehension on the panel, as well as the breathing techniques and other skills, Su Chen murmured, "Next, I'll try to comprehend the breathing technique to a minor level, and cultivate techniques like 'Flying on Grass' to perfection..."

He was still somewhat curious about what lay beyond the comprehension of the exceptional talents among men.

After all, he already possesses top-tier comprehension among mortals; to improve further would be beyond the reach of an ordinary person.

Su Chen closed his eyes and began to comprehend the complex and profound cloud-based Daoist inscriptions in his mind.

Time slowly passed.

During the day, he would stay at home to study breathing techniques, and at night he would go out to the mass graves to refine ghosts and demons.

Before we knew it, it was noon five days later.

A notification sound rang in Su Chen's ears.

[Minor Mastery of Breathing Technique, Comprehension +30]

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

Lifespan: 103 days

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 171 (A Dragon Among Men)]

【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（大成1%）、吐纳术（小成1%）】

【Taoist Techniques: Paper Cutting (Minor Success 1%), Flowers Bloom and Fade in an Instant (29%) (Beginner 99%)】

[Realm: Daoist (65%), 656 years of cultivation]

A refreshing sensation surged through Su Chen's mind and consciousness, and his comprehension increased slightly.

"A sudden increase of 30 points in Comprehension?"

Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

The breathing technique is so effective that it has increased my comprehension by so much?

but……

Seeing that his comprehension had reached 171 points but the evaluation remained unchanged, Su Chen couldn't help but guess to himself, "It seems that comprehension needs to reach 200 points to reach the next major level."

He felt a little regretful.

However, with his comprehension now at 171 points, he would probably rank among the top talents in the world.

Su Chen's gaze fell upon Dao Xing.

Their cultivation level is only a little over three hundred years away from reaching a thousand years!

At that time, even if it is a thousand-year-old demon, he will not be afraid!

After thinking about all this, Su Chen carefully sensed the minor-level breathing technique.

Although he had made some progress in the breathing technique, he still felt that the Cloud Talisman Daoist script was complex and profound, and that he was still a long way from fully comprehending it.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then silently estimated the time.

"It will probably take more than two months to master the breathing technique..."

Su Chen clicked his tongue in amazement.

Even he needed so much time to master this breathing technique, let alone others. Ordinary people simply couldn't do it!

Only a genius could master this breathing technique!

It is said that only ancient sages could achieve the perfect level of breathing techniques.

It is easy to imagine how profound and obscure a perfected breathing technique is; it is something that ordinary people cannot comprehend.

"However, just because others can't doesn't mean I can't..."

Looking at his 171 points of comprehension, which had reached the level of a dragon among men, Su Chen's eyes showed anticipation.

Next, he focused his attention on the light-footed grass and decided to first master it.

Su Chen used his lightness skill to fly over the grass, his figure flashing in and out of the east wing room time and time again.

A look of realization would occasionally flash in his eyes.

Soon, night fell.

The night was pitch black.

Mass grave.

As Su Chen walked through the mass grave, he noticed that the yin energy had thinned considerably, making it difficult to find ghosts or monsters. He couldn't help but sigh.

After these days of looting, he had almost emptied the mass grave of ghosts and monsters.

He shook his head and sighed, "Never mind, let's go check out other places nearby..."

His figure floated through the air above the mass grave.

During this process, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Lanruo Temple.

Speaking of which, besides the mass graves, the only other place near Guobei County with many ghosts and monsters is Lanruo Temple.

However, there was a tree demon grandmother at Lanruo Temple who was suspected to be a thousand-year-old monster. Without absolute certainty, the extremely cautious man naturally would not go there to take the risk.
