The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

Or perhaps, he has already been enlightened.

They are not much different from immortals and gods; they are only a hair's breadth away!

Su Chen's mind stirred.

The next second, his figure gradually floated up.

Flying on air!

Soaring through the air!

As he floated into the air, the faint, cool white halo hanging behind his head became increasingly bright, radiating light like a bright moon.

Su Chen naturally noticed this strange scene, and a troubled look appeared on his face.

"What is this?"

"Divine light? Spiritual light? Precious light? Buddha's light? Or something else?"

In some murals depicting immortals, gods, and Buddhas, they do indeed have this thing on the back of their heads.

Su Chen never expected that after becoming a real person, this thing would suddenly appear on the back of his head.

How will he ever face people again?

We can't go out looking like this, can we?

"Young Master?"

Xiao Tao's puzzled voice came from outside the door again, as if she wanted to come in and check.

Su Chen drifted to the ground and, with his powerful comprehension, tried to restrain himself.

The next second, his skin, which was emitting a faint glow, and the mysterious, bright halo behind his head gradually disappeared, becoming almost invisible.

In a daze, he seemed to have turned back into an ordinary person.

A word came to Su Chen's mind.

He seemed to understand something.

Return to simplicity!

As long as he doesn't use his magical powers, he will be in a state of returning to simplicity, similar to an ordinary person.

Of course, if he used his magical powers, then he would definitely not be able to hide it.

This is a phenomenon that naturally arises from the use of magical power and cultivation, and even he cannot stop it!

Sensing this situation, Su Chen felt helpless and distressed.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now..."

Noticing that Xiao Tao was coming in to check on him, Su Chen snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "I'm fine."

"Uh, I think I also smell a peculiar fragrance, but I don't know where it's coming from."

The words were spoken.

Xiao Tao paused as she entered the room, a look of surprise on her face. "Really? I was wondering why there was a special fragrance. So you smelled it too, young master?"

"But it's really strange, where is this fragrance coming from? It smells so good, I've never smelled anything so wonderful before..."

Her voice was filled with doubt and confusion, and she kept sniffing the air.

Noticing her actions, Su Chen's face showed a helpless expression.

He can't exactly say that the fragrance is his body odor, can he?

Fortunately, this unique fragrance is fading away quickly.

Otherwise, the impact would be enormous, and even ghosts and demons would be attracted.

Ordinary people might not feel anything, but ghosts and monsters might feel a craving for food.

Even so, the Zhang family must be quite lively right now.

Su Chen sensed the situation at the Zhang family residence.

As he sensed it, a series of puzzled and questioning voices came from a servant of the Zhang family, as well as his father Zhang Shanhai, his mother Xu, his younger brother Zhang Xing, and others.

The master bedroom of the Zhang family.

"What is this fragrance?"

The portly old father, Zhang Shanhai, looked on with surprise.

The mother, Ms. Xu, standing beside her was also astonished, looking around to find the source of the fragrance.

outside.

The entire Zhang family mansion became lively as servants searched for the source of the fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good! I've never smelled anything so good in my life!"

"An indescribable fragrance, where is it coming from?"

Fortunately, it's nighttime now, otherwise they might have already discovered something.

Su Chen smiled helplessly, then stretched out his right hand and waved his sleeve.

Call ~

The wind generated by the magical power spread, carrying the exotic fragrance that filled the room, and drifted towards the sky above the east wing.

Soon, the fragrance near the east wing quickly dissipated, leaving Xiaotao puzzled, wondering why she couldn't smell the fragrance anymore.

In the east wing.

With a flick of his sleeve, as his magical power subsided, the strange phenomena surrounding Su Chen disappeared once more.

He ignored the situation outside and focused his attention on himself.

"True Person, 10%, One Thousand Years of Cultivation..."

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

A look of distress crossed his face.

Doesn't this mean that one needs to accumulate nearly ten thousand years of cultivation to break through to the realm of a True Person?

At the same time, he was also a little curious.

"What lies beyond the realm of the True Person?"

Su Chen had a vague premonition, and anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Next, his gaze fell upon the 911 points of comprehension, a level that would be praised for generations.

Gentle Breeze Sword Technique (Mastery 1%)

Breathing exercises (minor success rate 1%)

"Next, I need to perfect the Qingfeng Sword Technique and master the breathing technique, and try to break through to the next level of comprehension..."

Su Chen pondered carefully for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion.

If it used to take a month to master the breathing technique, now it only takes eight or nine days!

Techniques like the Qingfeng Swordplay can be mastered in about one or two hours.

After thinking it over, he casually picked up a three-foot peach wood sword and began to practice.

The wind howled as swords whistled, and an invisible sword aura permeated the air.

While he was practicing the Qingfeng Sword Technique.

……

Guobei County.

River Village.

Inside the dilapidated wooden house.

"Hey……"

Lin Fang, an elderly woman dressed in worn-out, faded linen clothes with a face full of wrinkles, looked conflicted and hesitant as she recalled what had happened some time ago.

That day, Niuwa brought the old man with him and told her about his encounter with the water ghost and Xiaohu in Ghost Bay.

Then, the old man who looked like a young boy gave her three taels of silver and instructed her to treat her illness.

She also said that after she recovered from her illness, if she wanted to work, she could go to the Zhang family, a grain merchant in Nanliu Lane, Guobei County. If anyone stopped her, she should say that it was Young Master Zhang Xuan who sent her.

For some time now, she has been hesitating about whether or not to visit the Zhang family in Nanliu Lane, Guobei County.

If, as that old man said, I can find a job, that would be an absolutely wonderful thing!

Lin Fang hesitated for a moment, her withered hand touching her dry abdomen, before finally making a decision.

……

Time passed slowly.

The sky was just before dawn, and the night had not yet completely dissipated.

The rooster crowed and soared into the sky.

A clear, slightly urgent cry pierced through the thin mist and echoed over the village.

The village slowly awoke from its slumber.

A thin mist rises quietly between the ridges of the fields and the houses, drifting along the ground like a veil, partially obscuring the earthen walls, fences, and crooked old trees.

In the mist, the outline of the Lin family's wooden house appeared hazy and serene, with dew from the previous night still hanging under the eaves, occasionally dripping down with a soft sound.

It made a creaking sound.

The old woman, Lin Fang, opened the wooden door, picked up a bundle of dry food, and headed towards Guobei County, intending to visit the Zhang family, the grain merchant mentioned by the old man.

Chapter 31 Ghosts, Monsters, and Evil Spirits: The Eldest Young Master of the Zhang Family!

Time slowly passed.

They traveled for nearly half an hour.

The old woman, Lin Fang, arrived outside Guobei County and gazed at the county town from afar.

The city walls of Guobei County are not high, made of old, bluish-gray bricks. They have been neglected for years, and the walls are mottled, with some areas even covered in moss.

The wooden plaque above the city gate was faded in color and the paint was peeling off, but the characters were still barely legible, worn smooth by the passage of time.

Outside the city, the official roads and fields are crisscrossed, the soil hardened by the footsteps of passersby. In the early morning, a thin mist often hangs in the air, making the county town seem to float in the fog, its outline hazy.

Shops were sparse, and people hurried about, with the sounds of dogs barking and people talking coming from afar.

After some careful questioning, she arrived at Nanliu Lane.

Looking at the grand mansion of the Zhang family, the grain merchants, and the two gatekeepers, the old woman Lin Fang hesitated.

After a while, she still walked towards the front door.

Seeing this, the old man guarding the gate was slightly surprised and said, "Old woman, if you want to beg for food, go to the street ahead. We don't accept you here."

Upon hearing this, the old woman, Lin Fang, became even more hesitant. She gritted her teeth and explained in a low voice, "I wanted to come here to find a job. The person there said that if anyone stops me, I should say that Young Master Zhang Xuan sent me."

Old Wang, who had initially seemed impatient, looked surprised upon hearing the name "Young Master Zhang Xuan." "You know the eldest young master?"

"Young Master?" Lin Fang thought to herself, "Is the Young Master Zhang Xuan that the old immortal mentioned the same Young Master the gatekeeper is talking about?"

While she was puzzled and confused, she learned that the old woman in front of her knew the young master, so Old Man Wang dared not be careless.

A moment later, the old woman Lin Fang entered the Zhang family's house and learned about the young master's situation from the gatekeeper, Old Man Wang.

Guobei County has a great reputation. He was called a child prodigy from a young age, so dazzling that he overshadowed those around him.

But that was before. Now, this young master is obsessed with seeking immortality and enlightenment. Relatives and neighbors all think he's gone mad, and the old master and mistress's desperate pleas are useless.

"Alas, if you ask me, it would be better to pass the imperial examinations and obtain official rank..." Old Wang sighed.

Hearing the doorman's words, the old woman Lin Fang nodded in agreement, thinking he was right.

However, when she subconsciously inquired about the appearance of this young master of the Zhang family, her mind went blank.

He wore a moon-white robe, had fair skin and handsome features, and exuded an air of refined nobility...
