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

Outside the crowd, a figure kneeling on the ground trembled almost imperceptibly.

In that instant, he felt as if he were being watched by the heavens.

Wang Shenzhi, the magistrate of Guobei County, trembled.

He was around forty years old, not very tall, with a pale complexion and a neatly trimmed short beard. At that moment, he was looking down, deliberately hiding himself behind the crowd.

Unfortunately, just as Zhao Liuzi and the other two were wailing, he whispered some words, which Su Chen heard clearly.

From those murmured words, it was clear that Zhao Liuzi and the other two had some connection with him.

Judging from what his father, Zhang Shanhai, had said before, the relationship between Magistrate Wang Shenzhi and the Black Tiger Gang was indeed unclear.

It is estimated that the Black Tiger Gang is a tool of Magistrate Wang Shenzhi. They play the good cop and the bad cop, controlling Guobei County both openly and secretly.

Thinking of this, Su Chen was too lazy to continue thinking and directly sent the county magistrate, Wang Shenzhi, a Flower Blooming Moment.

In an instant, Wang Shenzhi, who was kneeling at the back of the crowd, suddenly froze.

He lowered his head stiffly.

A beautiful pale red flower appeared on the chest of his official robe.

The petals are crystal clear, their color like the setting sun.

Wang Shenzhi's pupils suddenly dilated.

He instantly understood what it was.

"Master Zhang!"

He suddenly raised his head, his voice becoming sharp and shrill, completely losing his usual official demeanor.

"Master Zhang!" Magistrate Wang Shenzhi exclaimed in alarm, "Zhao Liuzi and the others have nothing to do with me! I know nothing about them!"

"I am an official appointed by the imperial court, you cannot kill me, you must kill me..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The flowers are in full bloom.

His vital energy and soul were frantically drained away, and his face visibly withered.

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

Zhang Shanhai, Xu Shi, and the people of Guobei County immediately cried out.

"It's the county magistrate!"

"He...he also has flowers on him?"

"Even the county magistrate is being killed by an immortal?!"

The four trees are full of fishy smells.

In the eyes of this Zhang family immortal, a county magistrate and an official appointed by the imperial court, he was no different from the likes of Zhao Liuzi, and was killed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Fahai frowned, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Benefactor, he is, after all, an official appointed by the imperial court..."

Su Chen did not even blink.

However, it only took a few breaths.

Wang Shenzhi's screams came to an abrupt halt.

His body quickly withered and collapsed, then turned into ashes like dust eroded by the wind, quietly scattering on the ground.

He met the same fate as Zhao Liuzi and the others!

The inside and outside of the Zhang family residence.

A deathly silence fell instantly.

Even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.

Fahai frowned and said, "Your bloodlust is too strong."

Su Chen then glanced at him sideways, his tone indifferent, "There's no need for Master Fahai to trouble himself with that. If there's nothing else, Master Fahai, please leave."

Fahai gave him a deep look, then turned and strode out of the Zhang family compound.

There's no point in staying here.

Of course, although he left the Zhang family, he did not intend to leave Guobei County for the time being.

He decided to stay here and see what the eldest son of the Zhang family was planning to do!

If this eldest son of the Zhang family continues to indiscriminately kill innocent people and disregard human life, he will risk his life to seek justice for the people of Guobei County!

Even though he had no chance of winning against this young master Zhang who was about to become an immortal.

besides……

Fahai looked up at the sky.

He was naturally aware that the dissipation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth made breakthroughs extremely difficult.

"This eldest son of the Zhang family is truly a prodigy. How could he have cultivated to the point of ascension to immortality even when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was dissipated?"

Fahai found it unbelievable.

What an extraordinary gift this is!

He had the best qualifications he had ever seen!

Unfortunately, this eldest son of the Zhang family went astray!

Fahai felt a pang of regret and murmured, "When this young master Zhang ascends to immortality, he may encounter calamities..."

He could vaguely sense that the heavens and earth had now suppressed and were no longer allowing the birth of immortals. When this young master Zhang broke through completely, the heavens and earth would surely send down many obstacles!

In particular, this young master Zhang is so bloodthirsty and entangled in worldly affairs...

"What a pity..." Fahai felt regretful.

He had a premonition that this young master Zhang would not be able to survive the tribulation of ascension to immortality.

Staying in Guobei County, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the final fate of this exceptionally talented young master Zhang, and his downfall.

With his thoughts in mind, Fahai walked away from the Zhang family residence.

The Zhang family mansion fell into silence once again.

At this moment, Zhang Shanhai, the father, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Xuan'er, Master Fahai said that you have completed your cultivation and will soon ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Is this true?"

The words were spoken.

The scene became even quieter, with all eyes focused on the young immortal in the courtyard.

Su Chen glanced at his anxious father Zhang Shanhai and the others, remained silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the expressions of Father Zhang Shanhai, Mother Xu, Xiao Tao, and others changed.

Zhang Xing's expression also became complicated.

Zhang Shanhai asked anxiously and reluctantly, "Xuan'er, are you leaving? Going to that heaven?"

Su Chen nodded, then shook his head. "I will indeed ascend to immortality in a few days, but I don't know the specifics of what will happen then."

Upon hearing this,

Zhang Shanhai and the Xu family felt both heartbroken and proud.

“Xuan’er…” Madam Xu opened her mouth, as if to say something.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shanhai already guessed what she was going to say, and frowned, saying, "Madam, please stop. We cannot hinder Xuan'er. Xuan'er is going to heaven to become an immortal, so how can we keep her here?"

"For our family to produce a celestial being is already a blessing from our ancestors' graves; we cannot hinder Xuan'er!"

Ms. Xu pursed her lips and nodded, ultimately suppressing the words she was about to say.

She understood these principles, but how could she suppress the reluctance in her heart?

Su Chen looked at them, and a sigh rose in his heart.

When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

If that day ever comes, then give it a try.

If not...

That must be fate.

Beside him, Zhang Xing lowered his eyes, his heart churning with a mix of jealousy, resentment, and other complex emotions, which ultimately turned into an unspeakable silence.

The courtyard fell silent again.

Su Chen glanced around at the scorching sun and said, "Father, the matter is settled. I'll go back to the east wing now."

Zhang Shanhai and the others nodded quickly.

Su Chen turned and walked slowly away from the Zhang family residence.

As his figure receded into the distance, the heavy pressure that had been pressing down on Xing Songnian seemed to dissipate as well.

The air seemed to start flowing again.

Many people let out a long breath, and their tense bodies finally relaxed.

The immortal of the Zhang family has finally departed!

Chapter 61 Imminent Ascension to the Eighth Rank

That invisible pressure made them tremble with fear, even their breathing had to be careful, for fear of offending this immortal.

Seeing this, Zhang Shanhai quickly ordered the fishy-looking pelican to attack.

One by one, the residents of Guobei County stood up, and soon a low murmur of discussion arose in the courtyard.

An old woman, leaning on a cane, walked along muttering, "My life has been worthwhile; I was able to see an immortal with my own eyes!"

Old Wang, the gatekeeper, was also filled with emotion.

He said the other day that the young master spends all his time seeking immortality and Taoist teachings, he should just go and take the imperial examinations instead, I never expected...

The maid Xiaotao stood to the side, her feelings also complicated.

Not long ago, she had also sighed inwardly.

The once radiant and dazzling young master, who was so dazzling that people dared not look directly at him, is no more. He has been poisoned by the pursuit of immortality and Taoism, spending his days doing nothing and indulging in the ethereal and illusory teachings of Huang-Lao.

She felt regret.

But who would have thought that the young master would become an immortal?

And perhaps, not long after, they will even ascend to immortality?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Tao felt both amazement and awe, but also a touch of indescribable disappointment.

The young master who had been with her for so many years was about to leave this mortal world, and she didn't know if she would ever see him again.

Discussions gradually arose in the courtyard.

……

On the other side.

East wing.

Su Chen returned to his room, then sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression calm, his mind focused, and began to comprehend the breathing technique.

Time passed slowly and silently.

At the same time.

As one by one the people of Guobei County left, the news that the Zhang family had produced an immortal spread like wildfire throughout Guobei County.

Wherever the news passed, it caused a stir.

"Have you heard? A celestial being has emerged from the Zhang family!"

"What do you mean by 'creating immortals'? You were immortals to begin with!"

"I heard that he will ascend to heaven soon!"

"Ascension to immortality? Isn't that something that only happens in myths?"
