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

"It's really enviable..."

Wang Lin sighed with emotion.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a remnant soul of an old man, filled with a mysterious aura, frowned upon hearing this and admonished, "Young Lin, what good is courage? Such people often die the fastest!"

"Moreover, that kid knew perfectly well that Senior Sister Gu Jia was not someone he could mess with, yet he still dared to say those things. He was practically courting death. Just wait and see what happens to him in a while!"

"Also, what's so enviable about this kid? He's just a menial disciple of the Haoran Immortal Sect. This kid is so arrogant and smug."

"I've just examined him as well. This child's aptitude is low; he possesses only a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, utterly unsuitable for cultivation. His future is uncertain; whether he can even become an inner disciple is another matter entirely..."

The old man shook his head and said, "Young Lin, if you want to be envious and compete, then compete with those true prodigies..."

The words were spoken.

Wang Lin's face showed curiosity and surprise. "A true prodigy?"

"Elder Hun, who are you talking about? And what is the true prodigy like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Hun seemed to remember something, and his mood suddenly became complicated. He sighed and said, "Young Lin, you need to know that there are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher heavens beyond heavens. Not to mention other places, just in this Haoran Immortal Sect alone, there are quite a few true prodigies!"

"Some of them are born with powerful special physiques, such as innate Dao bodies... Others are born with accompanying magical treasures, and some are even reincarnated immortals, or have received the inheritance of immortals. These extraordinary geniuses are everywhere!"

"Faced with these true prodigies, the people on the eighty-nine peaks of your Haoran Immortal Sect are nothing at all!"

"Even with my help, I'm not entirely confident that you, Lin, can surpass these prodigies. You'll need to prove yourself..."

Listening to the old man's story, Wang Lin couldn't help but show a look of shock.

Chapter 71 Reincarnated Immortal?!

"Possessing a powerful physique, an innate Dao body? Carrying a companion magic treasure? Or even..."

He received the inheritance of immortals, or even was a reincarnated immortal?!

What are all these things?!

Wang Lin gasped.

He then couldn't help but smile wryly.

“Indeed, compared to these true prodigies that Elder Hun spoke of, we people from the Eighty-Nine Peaks are nothing at all, and cannot be compared to them at all…”

"However, Elder Hun really thinks highly of me, actually believing that I can be compared to those prodigies he speaks of?"

Wang Lin had mixed feelings.

After Elder Hun's words broadened his horizons, he stopped paying attention to the boy and returned to the wooden house to cultivate diligently.

Just as he returned to the wooden hut, the events that had occurred there spread rapidly as the servant disciples discussed them, attracting the attention of more and more of them.

Some of the servants' children looked mocking, while others looked sympathetic, pitying, or gloating.

They all knew that this guy who dared to provoke Senior Sister Gu Jia was doomed!

As they thought about it, they became curious.

I wonder when Senior Sister Gu Jia will come down the mountain to teach this guy a lesson?

While they were discussing it.

……

Inside the wooden house.

Su Chen ignored the situation outside; his attention was focused on something else entirely.

By entering specific information into the card pool search bar, Su Chen found himself.

On the simple white card is a drawing of a tall, slender boy dressed in a white uniform, with delicate features, a sickly pale complexion, and an air of refined nobility.

Su Chen clicked on the card, and detailed information appeared.

蘇塵

Card Level: N-level, One-star White Card

Affiliation: Vast Immortal Sect

Identity: Miscellaneous Disciple

Realm: Qi Refining

Ranking of Strength: 1891st among miscellaneous disciples

Canglan World Ranking: Not Counted

Looking at his own information on the white card, Su Chen's face showed surprise.

"I'm still a white card?"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

White cards, naturally, are just miscellaneous characters.

As a white card, one-star character, only heaven knows what will happen to me after those so-called players arrive.

Therefore, he had previously thought about how to get rid of the status of a one-star white character card and upgrade it to a high-level character card before those so-called players arrived!

Even after those players appear, they have the power to protect themselves, or even beat up the players!

Upon returning from this time travel, he thought his card level would have changed.

Soon, Su Chen had a guess, muttering to himself, "It seems that this character level will only change after cultivating and improving his strength, or after showing some special abilities?"

His attention was focused on the ranking of strength.

Su Chen remembered that his ranking was 999,810.

Unexpectedly, my ranking improved so much after practicing the Pure Void Nourishing Yuan Technique.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

However, upon further reflection, it makes sense. Currently, almost all of the millions of miscellaneous disciples of the Haoran Immortal Sect are studying the breathing technique and have not yet begun to cultivate. With a little bit of magical power, he would naturally rank over a thousandth.

At the same time, being ranked 1,891st means that the people ahead of him are definitely stronger than him. They may have practiced cultivation methods or powerful martial arts in advance!

Su Chen was somewhat curious.

After I start practicing the Pure Void Nourishing and Exhaling Breathing Technique and receive the enormous energy from my body, how much will my ranking rise?

How high can a white character level be upgraded?

Thinking of this, Su Chen did not hesitate and sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes to practice the Qingxu Yangyuan Breathing Technique.

……

Just as Su Chen was trying to practice the Qingxu Yangyuan Breathing Technique.

Haoran Immortal Sect.

Those who were familiar with the secrets of the Haoran Immortal Sect and ranked around 1,891st among the miscellaneous disciples noticed the changes in their rankings on the Xuan Tian Mirror.

On the summit of the Thirty-Six Peaks of Miscellaneous Service.

A young man in his early twenties, dressed in a blue robe, tall and handsome, named Wan Hongyi, showed a look of surprise.

The Xuan Tian Mirror is the most precious treasure of the Hao Ran Immortal Sect, possessing the ability to monitor the sect and probe the secrets of heaven and the flow of energy.

Therefore, every disciple of the Haoran Immortal Sect has information, and even a ranking, within it!

These menial disciples were no exception.

As someone who had just entered the sect and was ranked 1,890th, he knew the secrets of the Xuan Tian Mirror and would occasionally summon the Xuan Tian Mirror's list to check the rankings of the miscellaneous disciples.

Just now, he saw a stranger appear below him.

"A menial disciple of the Eighty-Nine Peaks?"

"The 1,891st person below me?"

"When did the bottom-ranked Eighty-Nine Peaks produce such a remarkable disciple?"

Wan Hongyi scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Unfortunately, the Xuan Tian Mirror will hide the other party's name and will not display it until the other party agrees.

Otherwise, he would like to go to the Eighty-Nine Peaks and befriend this genius who is similar to him!

After a moment of regret, Wan Hongyi shook his head and stopped paying attention to the rankings of the Xuan Tian Realm.

This guy is ranked 1891st, about the same as him. If nothing unexpected happens, he should also rise to prominence. It's the same if we befriend him then.

At this moment, not only Wan Hongyi noticed, but also some of the miscellaneous disciples who were ranked at the top of the Eighty-Nine Peaks and were ranked around the same as Wan Hongyi.

They were curious, surprised, and discussed it for a while.

However, like Wan Hongyi, they didn't know the name of this menial disciple, and after paying attention to him for a while, they stopped caring.

Moreover, he is ultimately a menial disciple of the Eighty-Nine Peaks. It is better to pay attention to the truly talented menial disciples of the Top Ten Peaks than to pay attention to this one.

These are the guys they should be wary of.

……

Inside the wooden house.

With his eyes closed, Su Chen tried the YiD Qingxu Yangyuan Breathing Technique. Wisps of colorful spiritual energy from heaven and earth suddenly began to move and rushed into his body.

Strands of spiritual energy, flowing through the meridians, converged at the lower dantian, continuously impacting and opening up its inner landscape.

However, during this process, he also discovered that something was wrong.

Streams of colorful spiritual energy from heaven and earth flowed into his body, but his body was like a sieve, with only a very small portion of the spiritual energy remaining. This energy was transformed by the Pure Void Nourishing and Breathing Technique and the Five Spiritual Roots, while the vast majority of the spiritual energy leaked out!

Moreover, Su Chen also noticed that the magical power transformed by the five spiritual roots was extremely mixed.

Because it absorbed all five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth at once, the transformation of the five spiritual roots was quite difficult, and the speed and efficiency were extremely slow!

"Is this why people look down on those with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements?"

A look of helplessness flashed across Su Chen's face.

Fortunately, he has only opened up the inner realm yet. If he really relied on the five spiritual roots to cultivate, who knows how long it would take to gather 12960 strands of mana to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage!

Su Chen didn't continue thinking about it, and continued to immerse himself in the unfolding of the interior.

In his mind, the cloud-like Daoist characters of the Pure Void Nourishing Essence Breathing Technique wriggled, emanating a profound aura.

Under the influence of this profound aura, he quickly entered a state of oneness with nature. In his lower dantian, countless magical powers underwent miraculous changes under the influence of this mysterious aura.

In the midst of the darkness and confusion, with a loud bang, a strange, hazy inner space emerged from the lower dantian.

Sensing the mysterious interior, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"It's time..."

Reclaim the body's previous energy and restore it!

Su Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation.

I wonder what level of strength I will be able to achieve after my body's energy returns to normal?

Chapter 72: A Mortal's Journey to Immortality (Trailer)

Just as Su Chen was filled with anticipation and preparing to draw upon the energy from his previous body to return to its source,

……

Another world.

Countless fans are sitting in front of their computers and mobile phones, waiting for the release of the trailer for the groundbreaking Xianxia game, Mortal Cultivation 1.0, Haoran Immortal Sect.

The apartment is an 89-square-meter, fully furnished two-bedroom, one-living room rental unit.

A robust young man with a round face, buzz cut, and beard was looking at the official website of the mortal cultivation game on his computer screen.

This is a game that suddenly appeared that is compatible across computer, mobile, and helmet platforms.

The official claim is that the game is 100% realistic, with each NPC having an independent personality, emotions, and intelligence, and that players can freely explore, fight, and cultivate immortality. However, a look of doubt flashed in Liang Jin's eyes.

"Are there really games this realistic? How did the game developers manage to make such a realistic game?"

"You're not just using a gimmick to attract people, are you?"
