Background and History

Jiang Household origins

Jiang Shiqing is a direct descendant of the Jiang Household, a Golden Core aristocratic clan. Her parents, Jiang Yue and Li Yin’er, are ordinary Qi Refining cultivators with low-grade Spirit Roots. Before meeting Lu Yang, her own cultivation talent and comprehension were unremarkable, while her appearance distinguished her from the household’s other young cultivators 88 100 304.

With his lifespan nearing its end, the ancestor Jiang Feng hoped that placing her beside Lu Yang would protect the household after his death. At the Taibai Market banquet, Lu Yang asked whether she would help manage miscellaneous matters for him, accepting her despite the superior cultivation qualifications of several other women present 88 89.

Becoming Lu Yang’s personal maid

Jiang Feng personally brought Shiqing to the Lin Household, where she initially attended Lin Ying with tea and pastries. Her connection to Lu Yang soon made rival factions in the Taibai Mountain Range treat the Jiang Household more cautiously 100 105.

At the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, she cleaned Lu Yang’s cave abode, explored the sect to prepare for future errands, and obtained Spirit Cuisine with Fang Jin’s help. Lu Yang praised her initiative and invited her to practice the Record of Same-Heart Creation. After their first session, her affection reached 100, unlocking her Beauty Cultivation Plan 122 123 124.

Azure Moon Lake expedition

For her first combat mission, Shiqing traveled to Azure Moon Lake to kill a Peak Qi Refinement Jade-Scaled Snake without Lu Yang’s help. She hired the rogue cultivator Wang Li as a guide and located the snakes with the Water Ripple Technique 168 184.

Still at Mid-stage Qi Refining, she killed three snakes at Mid-stage, Late-stage, and Peak Qi Refinement. She emerged with her clothing untouched and more than half her Spiritual Qi remaining. After paying Wang Li one hundred low-grade spirit stones, she heard Liu Yaoyao’s plea for help and summoned Wang Shiyi rather than ignore the dangerous battle nearby 185 186.

The encounter led to the capture of three Evil Cultivators, including a Golden Core cultivator, and established her connection with Liu Yaoyao. The system subsequently confirmed completion of her solo hunt 192.

Profound Earth Mountain and return home

Shiqing accompanied Lu Yang, Qin Nanyue, and Liu Yaoyao to Profound Earth Mountain during the operation against Zhou Mu of the Blood Devil Hall. When a Spirit Transformation expert overwhelmed Shiyi’s attack, she urged Lu Yang to retreat. She later reunited with him after his victory and departed aboard the Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot 252 258 272.

On returning to the Jiang Household, she brought the longevity pill Lu Yang had given her for Jiang Feng. Its hundred-year lifespan extension secured the ancestor’s continued support of the family. Jiang Feng offered her the future household headship, but she declined, preferring to remain Lu Yang’s personal maid 239 304 305.

Her changed standing also transformed her parents’ lives: the household supplied them with cultivation resources and moved them into its core residential area. Shiqing herself received a palace beside Jiang Feng’s residence, though she valued following Lu Yang more than household rank 304 316.

Ancient Yue Secret Realm

Lu Yang assigned Shiqing to obtain a black crystal in the Ancient Yue Secret Realm without outside assistance. She searched nearby bodies of water and eventually found one beside a lake 315 377.

When powerful awakened figures began crossing the realm, she advised preparing to leave rather than risking being trapped. Fang Jin later carried her out on a flying sword, and she returned uninjured. The system confirmed her mission’s completion and awarded further aptitude improvements 377 389 398.

Life in the private plane

Shiqing joined Lu Yang’s companions in his independent plane, which he designated their future home. She and Liu Yaoyao investigated unfamiliar household fixtures, prompting Lu Yang to explain electricity. During the group’s gaming session, her comparatively low cultivation made her the weakest player 427 428.

Later, Lu Yang used a Beauty Bond Card to connect her with Lin Ying. Shiqing immediately began experimenting with the connection, distracting Lin Ying badly enough to ruin a batch of pills 453 454.

Appearance

• Build and features: Tall and slender, with a dignified bearing, thick long eyebrows, large lively eyes, a high nose, and full rosy lips whose corners appear slightly upturned even at rest 88 122.
• Hair: Long and black; often loosely pinned with a jade hairpin or tied back with a matching ribbon 184 241.
• Clothing: Wears long dresses in several colors. Her water-blue outfit has narrow sleeves and pale-silver ripple embroidery; another red dress has pale-gold embroidery and a black silk sash 165 184.
• Later changes: Repeated task rewards refine her features, complexion, and bearing. After the level-2 comprehension mission, she observes nearly flawless features, jade-like skin, and a more captivating, dignified appearance 234 316.

Personality

Shiqing is conscientious and proactive in her work. She cleans without disturbing Lu Yang’s cultivation, learns unfamiliar routes before being asked to run errands, and remembers his preference for good food. She regards serving him well as a source of pride rather than a humiliation 122 123 186.

Her devotion is closely tied to gratitude and a desire not to be left behind. She credits Lu Yang with changing her prospects and protecting her family, and repeatedly resolves to cultivate diligently enough to accompany him—even imagining serving him after his ascension. Although she remains attached to the Jiang Household, she places him above household status or leadership 138 239 305 316.

Initially nervous around powerful or talented cultivators, she becomes increasingly poised as her experience broadens. By the Ancient Yue expedition, she recognizes Fang Jin’s attempts to approach Lu Yang through her, but remembers Fang Jin’s earlier assistance and bears her no resentment 88 123 377.

She is also bold, flirtatious, and mischievous. Unlike the shyer Lin Ying, she openly expresses interest in dual cultivation and encourages other women to join Lu Yang’s household. This enthusiasm does not eliminate occasional jealousy when she loses time with him, and she enjoys teasing companions such as Su Jinxuan 123 165 168 410 412.

Abilities and Skills

Water Dao cultivation

Shiqing has more than a decade of experience studying Water Dao methods 132.

• Jade Wave Art: Her original primary method, a mid-grade Profound Grade inheritance of the Jiang Household 131.
• Water Gathering Instruction and Dew Drawing Instruction: Basic Yellow Grade methods she can explain from practical experience. Her insights help Lu Yang establish his own Water Dao foundation 131 132.
• True Explanation of the Azure Waves: An Earth Grade Supreme Quality Water Dao method with complementary healing, escape, offensive, and defensive techniques. Its abundant, enduring Spiritual Qi supports her prolonged combat style 124 185.

Law Techniques

Fortune Traits

Dual cultivation and body refinement

• Record of Same-Heart Creation: First practices it under Lu Yang’s close guidance; her initially limited comprehension requires her to follow his circulation of spiritual power 123 124.
• Hidden Return Dragon and Phoenix Secret Canon: Practices with Lu Yang and Qin Nanyue, obtaining a substantial cultivation increase 251.
• Physical limitations: Initially lacks dedicated physique cultivation and tires more quickly than Lu Yang during dual cultivation 240.
• Body-refining manual: Requests and receives a Heaven Grade Supreme Quality Water Dao body-refining method. At the time, her understanding of Water Dao Principles is insufficient to cultivate it 407.

Divine Sense and Beauty Bond

• Divine Sense: Awakened through Azurite Jade Liquid; helps her perceive her cousin’s jealousy 316.
• Bond with Lin Ying: A Beauty Bond Card allows them to sense one another’s feelings, thoughts, and touch, and communicate mentally across separate rooms 453 454.
• Disruptive potential: Shiqing’s experimentation with their shared sensations interrupts Lin Ying’s pill refinement 453 454.

Equipment and Resources

• White Frost Water-Covering Wheel: Water-element Supreme-Grade Law Artifact used offensively. Its repeated slashes penetrate a Peak Qi Refinement Jade-Scaled Snake’s scales, though it cannot kill that target in one blow 106 128 185.
• Water-Controlling True Spirit Ring: Water-element Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact that produces a protective shield during her snake hunt 106 185.
• Dao Comprehension Tea: Temporarily boosts her comprehension tenfold, greatly accelerating her study of difficult methods 158.
• Supreme-Grade Hundred Herbs Pill: Refined by Lin Ying and carried as protection against Qi Refining Jade-Scaled Snake venom 185.
• Storage Bag and sect token: Used to carry supplies, collect snake corpses, and contact fellow disciples 184 186 241.
• Powerful talismans: Carries talismans Fang Jin judges to be at least third-tier, with some possibly fourth-tier; the higher classification remains Fang Jin’s assessment 377.

Dao protectors

Lu Yang initially assigns Wang Shiyi, Wang Shisan, and Wang Shiwu to protect Shiqing, with permission to protect the Jiang Household as well. Their assignments later change as he redistributes his puppets 128 232.
