Background

Su Bai was formerly an imperial prince of the Yan Kingdom before entering the Jade Mist Sect at sixteen. He began as an Outer Disciple with a Three Spirit Root and relied on spirit rice, pills, disciplined cultivation, and sect missions to progress. His diligence was notable enough that Zhou Chang compared his attitude to that of an elderly Foundation Establishment senior. 8 12

His rise accelerated through Immortal Talent Reflection, which allowed him to survey and copy other cultivators’ talents. He copied Yu Ji’s Fire-Wood Dual Spirit Root, later acquired a Lightning Single Spirit Root, and eventually obtained a Water Heavenly Spirit Root. 16 99 234

After becoming a Jade Mist Sect True Inheritance Elder and Vice Dean of the Sword Academy, Su Bai broadened his path beyond sword cultivation. He became a Foundation Establishment alchemy grandmaster under True Man He, built the Number Nine Pill Shop, entered the Immortal Palace under the title Spirit of the Immortal Palace, and later served as a Vice Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Star Alliance. 105 106 179 356 372

Personality

Su Bai is disciplined, calculating, and intensely focused on extending his lifespan through cultivation. He carefully measures resources, risks, and the time required for every technique, often choosing practical advantages over reputation or comfort. 17 39 63 231

To secure Su Yao’s throne, he executed court opponents and rival princes, conducted a covert purge, and implanted safeguards in those placed near his family. 115
