Su Jinxuan

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Su Jinxuan rose from a Qi Refining disciple to a Nascent Soul True Lord through talent, hard work and opportunities won in battle. Her lineage helped her early on, but after reaching Golden Core she cultivated largely on her own 145 155 411.

Her master called her the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s greatest genius in nearly five hundred years. In her youth, she defeated prodigies from Qin Province’s leading sects and attracted numerous admirers, but remained devoted to the Great Dao 138 342.

Appearance

Su Jinxuan has a cool, dignified beauty and the commanding bearing of someone accustomed to high office 136.

• Tall figure, deep eyes, slender phoenix eyes, a high straight nose and naturally pale-red lips 136 399.
• Often wears a gold-and-red phoenix-feather robe and a golden hairpin 136 147 148.
• On one visit from Lu Yang, she wore a simple, loose white dress instead of her usual magnificent robe 405.

Personality

Su Jinxuan is composed, assertive and fiercely self-reliant. She prefers to fight for what she wants and is uneasy about accepting favors she cannot repay. Lu Yang’s offer of Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves troubled her until he agreed to treat them as a loan 136 145 155.

Her pride can make setbacks especially painful: Lu Yang’s rapid mastery of the Golden Rainbow Sword Canon briefly cracked her Dao heart. Despite this, she continued teaching him, and their discussions benefited them both 138 139.

She takes her responsibilities seriously and helped coordinate cultivators against the Blood Devil Hall because she would not stand by while Evil Cultivators harmed others. Around Lu Yang and her close friend Baili Qiushui, her usually reserved manner can give way to embarrassment, teasing and affection 338 405 420.

Its activation granted her two Fortune Traits; a subsequent random task was completed when her Golden Radiance Sword Canon comprehension reached level 2 408 413.
