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

After glancing at his older brother with a smug look, Zhang Xing happily started eating his porridge.

Su Chen glanced at their various expressions and then found a chair to sit down.

While eating the porridge brought by the servant, he flipped through the ancient and simple Qingxu Yangyuan Manual.

As soon as he opened it, he noticed the difference. The Qingxu Yangyuan Jue, which had been obscure and difficult to understand in his eyes, suddenly became much clearer.

He even had a feeling that if he spent another day or two reading through the Pure Emptiness Nourishing Essence Manual and some other Taoist scriptures for reference, he could achieve great success.

You'll then be able to basically understand what this "Qingxu Yangyuan Jue" is all about!

"Is this the effect of having some potential for understanding?"

"What if it's even higher?"

Su Chen's anticipation grew stronger.

He was intently studying the Pure Void Nourishing Essence Technique.

Zhang Shanhai, the elderly father standing to the side, sighed deeply and was furious, while Zhang Xing became increasingly smug and pleased with himself.

The food counter was quiet for a while.

Zhang Shanhai finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Xuan'er, you're not getting any younger. Is there anyone you've taken a fancy to? Would you like your father to introduce you to someone?"

My eldest son must be possessed by an evil spirit!

Perhaps getting married can bring good luck and get rid of this evil spirit!

The mother, Ms. Xu, standing to the side, had her eyes light up.

Zhang Xing was taken aback.

The food counter was quiet for a while.

Just as they were wondering how their son, their elder brother, would answer.

Su Chen glanced at them, then calmly said, "Father, you know, I am devoted to the Dao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire main hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The servants remained silent, secretly thinking that the young master had truly gone mad.

Zhang Shanhai pointed at him, nearly driven mad with anger, "Xuan'er, are you crazy? Look at what you're saying! For the sake of cultivating the Dao, you're even giving up marriage and children?"

"If your mother and I die, you'll have no one to take care of you when you get old. What will you do then?"

Zhang Shanhai was both angry and sad, as if he could see the tragic scene of his wife and he passing away, with their young son Xuan'er old and frail, without any children to take care of him.

Mother Xu's eyes reddened, tears welled up, and she lamented in her heart, "Heavens, what has happened to my son?"

Zhang Xing, standing to the side, had a complicated expression.

Then, the entire breakfast process became completely quiet.

After finishing his meal, Su Chen sighed silently and turned to leave the main hall.

Watching his departing figure, Zhang Shanhai and Madam Xu looked anxious, desperately trying to figure out how to turn their eldest son back to how he used to be.

Should we continue to ask the Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits?!

Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Father and Mother, I think my eldest brother has gone mad and is beyond saving, but you still have me. I will inherit the family business and take good care of you!"

Looking at their youngest son, Zhang Shanhai and Madam Xu were slightly taken aback. Although they still looked worried, they felt a little relieved.

Thankfully, there's still Xing'er!

They were thinking.

……

A few minutes later.

Su Chen returned to the east wing.

He walked to the desk and sat down. He reached out and picked up a Taoist scripture from the pile on the desk to read.

He was able to decipher most of the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand Taoist scriptures after a little thought.

The various Taoist terms inside also correspond one by one with the contents of the Qingxu Yangyuan Jue.

After studying for half an hour, Su Chen put down the Taoist scripture in his hand and started practicing Grass-Walking again, striving to master Grass-Walking as soon as possible and then improve his comprehension.

This way, you can also speed up your study of Taoist scriptures and comprehend the Pure Emptiness Nourishing Essence Technique!

When he got tired from practicing, he would stop to rest and continue reading the Taoist scriptures.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, almost a day has passed.

The time has come for the sun to rise.

The room was dimly lit.

Su Chen's eyes lit up.

He still finds the breathing techniques somewhat obscure, but he has almost grasped the essence of the Pure Void Nourishing Technique and can try practicing it!

Chapter 7: A Potential Insight

The room was dimly lit.

Without hesitation, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate according to the Qingxu Yangyuan Technique.

He tried his best to control his thoughts.

With the blessing of his budding comprehension, his mind unconsciously sank.

More than ten minutes passed.

In a daze, in the dark and obscure.

His breathing became long and deep, like water flowing through a crack in a rock.

He was gradually drawn to the sparse spiritual energy in the world and absorbed it into his body.

A notification sound was heard.

[Introduction to the Pure Essence Nourishing Technique, Comprehension +2]

[Lifespan increased, Comprehension +2]

"You've mastered it?!"

Su Chen woke up with a start and immediately had an idea.

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

Lifespan: 40

[Innate Talent - Comprehension: 11 (Potential)]

[Techniques: Tiger-Taming Fist (Minor Success 1%), Grass-Walking Flying (Entry-Level 85%), Five Animal Frolics (Entry-Level 1%), Clearing the Void and Nourishing the Vital Energy Technique (Entry-Level 1%), Breathing Exercises (Not Yet Entered)]

[Realm Level: Mortal (1%)]

Su Chen's mind was completely clear, and his expression was somewhat dazed, as if he were about to fall into a state of profound enlightenment.

However, his comprehension was ultimately lacking, and he quickly broke free from that feeling.

"The effects of the Cleansing and Nourishing Vitality Technique are really this strong?"

Su Chen was surprised.

Most importantly, my comprehension has increased from 7 points to 11 points!

The assessment of his comprehension ability has also changed from "potential from a young age" to "quite promising"!

Su Chen felt that his mind had become much sharper.

The obscurity of the Qingxu Yangyuan Jue, Wuqinxi, and other exercises was greatly reduced!

If it used to take three months to master the Five Animal Frolics, now it only takes seven or eight days!

"Is this what it feels like to have strong comprehension?"

"Indeed extraordinary!"

Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, and then felt a little envious.

Even his potential for enlightenment far surpasses that of ordinary people, which is hard for ordinary people to compare with. How strong must the enlightenment of those ancient sages have been?

It can only be said that the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs!

After his initial envy, Su Chen also began to look forward to it. "However, I now have plenty of time to improve my comprehension!"

"What will happen next as your comprehension continues to improve?"

"What is this comprehension with potential beyond measure?"

"Does the next level of comprehension require 15 points or 20 points?"

"almost……"

Su Chen murmured.

A moment later.

After calming his surging emotions, Su Chen focused his attention on the newly added Realm column on the panel.

"1% of ordinary people?"

The Qingxu Yangyuan Jue does not describe this aspect in much detail.

Su Chen was somewhat curious about what happens after a mortal undergoes a transformation.

In addition, he also felt a slight increase in magical power within his body.

Unfortunately, it was too weak for him to control. He would need to cultivate for a considerable period of time before he could control it.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the grass flying up.

"Next, we need to cultivate the Grasshopper skill to a minor level..."

"I wonder if, once the cultivation reaches perfection, one will truly be able to fly on grass?"

Su Chen immediately began practicing flying over grass, his body constantly twisting and turning in the side room.

When he was tired, he would read Taoist scriptures and contemplate breathing techniques in his mind.

It has to be said that the breathing technique is indeed something inherited from ancient times. Even with his current level of comprehension, Su Chen felt that it would take him seven or eight days to grasp even the basics.

Not to mention the minor success, major success, and perfection, they are simply incomparable to the Pure Emptiness Nourishing Essence Technique!

Soon, half an hour passed, and it was time for breakfast again.

Just like yesterday, Su Chen walked towards the main hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw his father and mother, whose hair seemed to have turned a little whiter, sighing and complaining, as well as his adopted younger brother Zhang Xing, who was comforting them.

Upon his arrival, the main hall fell into silence.

Su Chen ate his breakfast in silence.

Throughout this process, his elderly parents continued to urge him to give up practicing that kind of boxing and not to cultivate any kind of Taoism, saying that it was just a waste of time and that he should focus his mind on passing the imperial examinations.

Su Chen let it go in one ear and out the other, sensing the trace of magical power within his body, he smiled slightly and said nothing.

Soon, a dozen minutes later, he finished eating and left, leaving Zhang Shanhai and the others sighing.

Back to the east wing.

Su Chen continued practicing flying on grass and studying breathing techniques.

In the blink of an eye, another day or so has passed.

Noon on the second day.

In the east wing.

Su Chen stopped what he was doing, his eyes lighting up.

[Grasshopper Skill Level 1, Comprehension +2]

A sense of coolness welled up in his mind.
