Background
Lu Xuan was originally a Blue Star office worker who lost consciousness during late-night overtime and awoke as a newborn in another world. He retained an Addition System that displays his cultivation and allows him to deduce techniques through System Points. By age twenty, he had secretly cultivated to Blood Refinement Realm Perfection, far beyond Azure Cloud County’s known martial artists. 1
Born into the Lu Family Pharmacy, Lu Xuan was expected to inherit his father Lu Jiahe’s medical knowledge. Instead, after his mother’s death fifteen years earlier, he became withdrawn and devoted himself to blade practice. His father ultimately entrusted the family’s medical legacy to Lu Xuan’s younger brothers. 4
A supernatural incident in Ping'an Township exposed Lu Xuan to Yin Energy and Eerie Entities. Recognizing both their danger and their value as potential sources of System Points, he began actively investigating strange phenomena rather than remaining hidden in Azure Cloud County. 1 5
After revealing enough strength to stabilize the Lu Family during a crisis, Lu Xuan arranged the burial of Lu Yun'an and the guards who died protecting him. He then deduced the Blazing Fire Blade Art into the Crimson Flame Blade Art, placing himself on the verge of the Inner Qi Realm. 5
Appearance
Lu Xuan is a tall, handsome young man with a sturdy, well-defined physique and sharply chiseled features. He is frequently described in black brocade or black robes, carrying an imposing and difficult-to-ignore presence. 8 202
- Deep, dark eyes that others find intimidating or unfathomable. 8 202
- Thick black hair, usually bound behind his head with a simple jade hairpin. 202
- Prefers dark clothing, including black brocade robes and later Blackbird Guard attire. 5 239
- His aura becomes increasingly restrained at higher realms; after reaching Divine Mansion Greater Mastery, martial artists below the Divine Mansion Realm could not sense him without directly seeing him. 243
Personality
Lu Xuan is intensely focused on cultivation and consistently prioritizes martial strength over comfort, rank, wealth, or romance. When Shangguan Yunlan attempted to seduce him, he refused without hesitation, explaining that his attention was solely on the arduous pursuit of Martial Arts. 206
He is cautious when confronting unknown powers, particularly Eerie Entities, powerful artifacts, and the residual will detected in the Spirit Ruins Land. He often withdraws, investigates, or prepares defenses before committing himself to a conflict. 5 218 299
Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Lu Xuan distinguishes clearly between gratitude and enmity. He protects his family, rewards subordinates with cultivation resources, repays assistance, and takes decisive action against those who threaten people under his protection. 92 157 195 314
Abilities & Skills
Addition System
Lu Xuan possesses a System Panel that records his realm, cultivation techniques, and System Points. It allows him to rapidly deduce and comprehend martial arts techniques once sufficient points have been accumulated. 1

Crimson Flame Blade Art / Heaven Burning Blade Art
Lu Xuan began with the Blazing Fire Blade Art, deduced it into the Crimson Flame Blade Art, and eventually evolved it into the Heaven Burning Blade Art. Its flames are powerful enough to scorch and destroy weapons made from refined iron. 5 71 153
- Produces crimson, golden, purple, and later black-gold flames as the technique advances. 5 165 225 304
- Burns Eerie Entities, corpses, demons, and hostile martial artists. 69 133 183
- At Greater Mastery, its fire carried a mysterious power comparable to heaven and earth power. 183
- Its tenth layer manifested black-gold flames that became law-like chains supporting Lu Xuan’s internal world. 304
- Heavy deductions and high-level use consume substantial Gang Essence, requiring medicinal herbs or spiritual objects for recovery. 153
Movement Arts
Lu Xuan cultivates a succession of movement techniques: Wind Chasing Steps, Flowing Light Steps, and Within Reach, Yet Worlds Away. 63 119 230
- Flowing Light Steps increased his speed threefold. 119

- After mastering Divine Mansion power, he could use Divine Sense to communicate with heaven and earth and fly. 217
- Uses his perception and movement arts to track fleeing martial artists by residual aura. 170 270
Vajra Indestructible and Undying and Unkillable
Lu Xuan uses body-tempering techniques to make his physical body exceptionally resilient. Vajra Indestructible reinforced his already formidable defense, while Undying and Unkillable advanced his regenerative potential. 101 186
- His body is protected by fierce Gang Essence and can withstand combat that would destroy ordinary martial artists. 101
- Undying and Unkillable is associated with fleshly body reshaping and rebirth from a drop of blood. 186
- His enhanced body greatly accelerated his ability to refine spiritual objects and demonic beast flesh. 170
Divine Sense, Internal World, and Creation Power

- Sealed heaven and earth around the Tiger Ghoul Demon King before annihilating it. 211
- Creates Divine Sense phantoms and enormous purple manifestations capable of attacking at range. 211 225
- Integrates his aura with heaven and earth, becoming nearly undetectable. 243
- Uses an Inner World to imprison multiple Earthly Venerable Greater Mastery experts. 326
- Used Creation Power to extend Lu Jiahe’s lifespan by one thousand years and improve the aptitude of younger Lu Family members. 316
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Mystic Iron Greatsword — flawed Mystic Iron blade given by Liu Yi after Lu Xuan’s former weapon was damaged by his flames; durable enough to withstand more of his blade art. 72
- Black Mysterious Blade — Blackbird Guard weapon forged from Black Mystic Gold; later became insufficient for the Heaven Burning Blade Art. 149 189
- Wind Fire Blade — Chen-Grade Two-Mark Ritual Artifact used by Lin Yu; Lu Xuan kept the weapon after killing him as a replacement blade. 189
