Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

In the blink of an eye, another six days have passed.

Bright morning light spilled into the courtyard.

The courtyard is neither too big nor too small, and it is filled with flowers and trees.

The stone path winds and turns, with moss growing along the cracks, and flower branches drooping on both sides, their colors clear and moist.

A gentle breeze blows, the flower shadows sway, and the fragrance, though not strong, slowly spreads in the air.

The servants walked with unconsciously light steps, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility, or perhaps afraid of disturbing the boy who was lost in thought in the courtyard.

Su Chen sat in the courtyard, eating snacks while comprehending the Pure Void Nourishing Yuan Technique.

Xiao Yao, the personal maid, stood respectfully to the side, serving him.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Relying on his superior comprehension, he had already mastered the Qingxu Yangyuan Technique, which originally required about ten days to comprehend, in just six days!

The notification sound immediately rang out.

[Minor Success in the Pure Void Nourishing Essence Technique, Comprehension +4]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 22 (A Rare Talent)]

"A hidden gem?"

Su Chen looked dazed.

As the saying goes, a young person is like a piece of uncut jade; once polished, he can become a great talent!

If his comprehension was initially considered unteachable, he is now considered a genius. With a little refinement and the passage of time, he will achieve great things!

And how long has it been?

"In the near future, it's not impossible for one's comprehension to rival that of ancient sages!"

"What will happen then?"

A smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

As he pondered this, a sense of coolness soothed his mind, and he gazed at the vibrant flowers vying for attention in the spring courtyard, a feeling of profound understanding welled up within him.

In a daze, in the dark and obscure.

Unbeknownst to him, he was struck by a sudden realization.

One by one, cloud-like Daoist characters wriggled in his mind...

During this process, he seemed to see the flowers in the courtyard sprout, bloom, wither, bear fruit, and fade away, and he grasped a glimpse of the true meaning of life...

Xiao Tao, who was standing by, was stunned by what she saw.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she sensed that the young master was different, as if he had become one with the courtyard and the flowers in it.

Shaking her head, Xiao Tao shook off the inexplicable thoughts in her mind.

"It must be because I haven't been sleeping well lately, otherwise why would I feel that the young master and the courtyard have become one?"

The blazing sun overhead gradually moved higher.

Half an hour passed.

Xiao Tao's expression changed from indifference at first to confusion, anxiety, and worry.

"What's wrong with the young master? Why is he sitting here without moving?"

She tried calling out, but the young master ignored her completely, as if he hadn't heard her.

"It's almost lunchtime..."

Just as she was thinking that she should shake the young master to wake him up.

Before she could even sway, Su Chen snapped out of his daze.

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

Lifespan: 40 days

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 22 (A Rare Talent)]

【功法:伏虎拳（小成1%）、草上飞（小成1%）、清虚养元决（小成1%）、五禽戏（入门1%）、吐纳术（入门56%）】

【Taoist Method: Flowers Bloom in an Instant - Incomplete (1%)】

[Realm Level: Mortal (11%)]

"This is?"

Taoism?

Flowers bloom in an instant?

Su Chen was shaken.

"Because of my innate comprehension, I unknowingly comprehended a Daoist technique?"

"But...it's incomplete?"

Su Chen felt a little regretful.

Such a rare opportunity, yet I only managed to comprehend a fragmented Daoist technique.

"In the end, his comprehension is still too low, otherwise..." Su Chen shook his head and sighed.

If one has higher comprehension, one will definitely be able to comprehend the complete Dao this time!

After a moment of regret, he didn't dwell on it any longer.

Although the Daoist technique of "Flowers Bloom in an Instant" is incomplete, it now has a foundation. As long as his comprehension continues to improve, even without sudden enlightenment, he can gradually perfect it!

His attention was drawn to the Taoist technique of "flowers blooming in an instant".

Su Chen was in a daze. He had a vague feeling that he could mobilize the weak magical power in his body and use the "Flower Blooms in an Instant" technique on living things.

As for the effect, he didn't know; he would need to try it out.

next to.

Xiao Yao said cautiously, "Young Master, it's almost lunchtime..."

Seeing that the young master had returned to normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the young master would have a relapse of his hysteria and go crazy in front of her.

If that's the case, she will definitely incur the master's wrath.

Su Chen glanced at her, about to say something.

Just then, he happened to see a servant walking away, cursing and swearing, carrying a wooden board.

Su Chen, with his sharp eyes, noticed a squeaking gray mouse stuck to the resin coating on the wooden board.

"Go, Xiao Yao, tell that person to bring that thing over..."

He pointed.

Xiao Tao was stunned, glanced at it subconsciously, and then her face turned pale with fright.

What is the young master trying to do?

She gritted her teeth and walked over.

Soon, Xiao Yao arrived here with a bewildered young servant.

Su Chen walked over, took the mousetrap, and said directly, "Alright, you can go now."

As he spoke, he walked toward the east wing, leaving Xiao Tao and the servants looking completely bewildered.

Soon, in the east wing.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then used the "Flower Blooms in an Instant" technique on the rat.

In an instant, the meager magical power within his body was rapidly depleted, and Su Chen's face turned pale.

A mysterious fluctuation enveloped the rat on the wooden board.

Seemingly sensing the danger, the mouse squeaked and struggled frantically, but unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Su Chen was astonished to see that the rat's gray fur was gradually turning yellow and its flesh was also gradually withering.

Soon, a phantom flower the size of a thumb grew on its body.

However, it seems that because the rat was still alive, his magic power was insufficient, and the transformation showed signs of stalling.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then killed the rat with a stone.

As the rat died, with no more resistance, its body quickly withered and turned to ashes, and the ethereal flower buds also quickly closed, beginning to bear fruit.

In the blink of an eye, a slightly illusory pink peach the size of a fingernail took shape in Su Chen's eyes.

"This is?"

An instinctive desire unconsciously arose in Su Chen's heart.

Driven by this desire, he picked up the pink peach, put it directly into his mouth, and ate it.

It tastes sweet, and the fruit melts in your mouth.

A warm current flowed through his body.

His magical power actually began to increase!

The progress has increased from 11% to 12%!

[Realm Level: Mortal (12%)]

"Is this the effect of the Daoist flower blooming in an instant?" Su Chen was a little shocked.

Then, he couldn't help but think, "Even rats have this effect of increasing magical power, what about ghosts and demons?"

Su Chen was both curious and expectant.
