Background

Qi Chuan transmigrated into an infant in White Stone Town. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by his uncle Qi Yue and aunt until the Qi Family’s Spiritual Root Assessment identified him as an Immortal Seedling at age ten. He then entered the Qi Family’s main lineage in Red Maple Valley to begin cultivation. 109

Despite his Lower Eighth-grade Spiritual Root, Qi Chuan comprehended the Evergreen Art in a single night and reached Qi Refining First Layer only one month after beginning cultivation. His advancement earned him a formal Qi Family identity, cultivation token, magic robe, and spirit stones. 4 5

His second grandfather, Qi Baicang, brought him to live on an independent peak and introduced him to the wider cultivation world. Learning that the Wind Moon Sect possessed Sword Dao inheritances prompted Qi Chuan to set joining the sect as a long-term objective. 5 6

Appearance

Qi Chuan is a fair, refined young man with clear black-and-white eyes and a composed, otherworldly bearing. Even when disguised as an ordinary cultivator, his stillness and temperament can make him appear out of place among mortals. 110 170

• Fair skin that manifests jade radiance while using the Jade Skin Realm. 43
• Calm black eyes that observers associate with confidence and hidden strength. 120
• Often uses Illusion Body and Breath Concealing Talismans to alter his appearance and suppress his aura. 105 118
• Has appeared publicly in his true form as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator after long periods of concealment. 170

Personality

Qi Chuan is intensely diligent and methodical. He repeatedly divides his time between cultivation, combat techniques, body refinement, alchemy, talisman crafting, and spiritual plant tending rather than relying on a single path. 10 43 79

He is pragmatic about risk and resources. He avoids unnecessary social obligations, accepts cooperation only under terms he considers worthwhile, and uses disguises or a faked death when direct exposure would endanger him. 41 99 105

Although generally polite and restrained, Qi Chuan is decisive toward enemies. He is willing to kill hostile cultivators once he judges them to be continuing threats, and his confidence grows in proportion to his preparation and strength. 125 238 358

Story Role / Major Arcs

Qi Family Immortal Seedling

Qi Chuan begins as an obscure Qi Family Immortal Seedling with a poor Spiritual Root. His rapid mastery of the Evergreen Art, first Qi Refining breakthrough, and Five Elements Spell aptitude establish him as an unexpected prodigy. 4 8

He later wins the Qi Family’s Inner Sect Quota for the Wind Moon Sect by revealing Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation and the Perfected Fireball Technique, overcoming the favored candidate Qi Chan’er. 23 107

Wind Moon Sect Disciple and Elder

Within the Wind Moon Sect, Qi Chuan strengthens his spells, body, cultivation base, and auxiliary skills. He advances through the Qi Refining stages, becomes a True Disciple, and reaches Foundation Establishment in just over three years. 68 79 86

After becoming an elder, he acquires the Profound Heaven Spirit Devouring Sword Art and develops into a Sword Cultivator whose combat strength exceeds his realm. 87 88

Secret Realm, Faked Death, and Return

After obtaining an opportunity in a Secret Realm, Qi Chuan becomes a target of Heavenly Soul Hall suspicion. Situ Jiang advises him to fake his death and continue cultivating under a lower-profile identity. 99 101

While officially dead, Qi Chuan secretly returns to Red Maple Valley and White Stone Town to reassure Qi Baicang, Qi Wuyou, and Qi Yue that he survived. 105 107 110

Core Formation and Three Sects Competition

Qi Chuan forms a First-grade Nine-Aperture Golden Core and proves himself the strongest Early Core Formation participant in the Three Sects Competition. He defeats Wang Tong, then uses Man-Sword Unity to overcome Azure Sword Son and Song Dan together. 211 219

Myriad Flower Immortal Sect True Person

As a Myriad Flower Immortal Sect cultivator, Qi Chuan rapidly reaches Mid and Late Core Formation. He defeats rival Mid Core Formation cultivators, explores ruins with Feng Tan, and earns broad recognition as an exceptional sect talent. 233 234 241

Demon Insect Tide and Nascent Soul Advancement

Qi Chuan prepares for the Demon Insect Tide by advancing his alchemy, body cultivation, soul cultivation, and defensive equipment. His combat contributions and potential lead True Monarch Qingyun to support him as the sect’s foremost Nascent Soul candidate. 236 247

He later enters the Nascent Soul Realm, continues into Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and develops strength sufficient to contend with major Great True Lords. 268 271 361

Notable Quotes

“Now, relying solely on my physical body, I could probably contend with ordinary Early Qi Refining Stage cultivators or First-grade Low-tier Demonic Beasts, right?” 43

“I never held much hope from the start. I was merely giving it a try. Even if it failed, it didn't matter. After all, I'm not the one who'll suffer the loss.” 345

“If a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator appeared before me now, then no matter how many intricate methods they possessed, without using mana or divine abilities, I could beat them to death with a single punch using body strength alone!” 222

Trivia

• Qi Chuan personally tends spiritual plants even after gaining the status to delegate the work, because the practice improves his spiritual plant mastery. 79
• He initially avoided revealing that all five Basic Five Elements Spells had reached the Entry Stage, believing the information would only make Qi Baicang regard him as stranger. 8
• His body cultivation began partly as preparation for the Three Great Gates of Foundation Establishment: spiritual power, physical body, and divine soul. 62
• His First-grade Nine-Aperture Golden Core helps offset the limitations imposed by his poor Spiritual Root. 207
