Background and History
Blackwood Stockade
At sixteen, Lu Qingfeng lives in Blackwood Stockade with his younger siblings, Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu, under the oppressive rule of the Return-to-Truth Sect. A reincarnated traveler, he conceals his unusual knowledge and temperament, recognizing that standing out would endanger his family 1.
He secretly learns the Return-to-Truth Method and Raging Bull Fist from Qingshan, despite the death penalty for privately passing on sect teachings. His poor aptitude and the family’s poverty make even basic cultivation difficult, as training demands food, meat, and medicinal resources they cannot afford 1 4.
Primordial World and early cultivation
Lu Qingfeng gains access to the Primordial World, where time and repeated reincarnations allow him to study cultivation, alchemy, artifact refinement, and combat arts over lifetimes. He uses the Yellow Court Scripture’s Technique Derivation to improve manuals and formulas, then deliberately recultivates early realms to gain experience and build an exceptionally stable foundation 9 19.
He ultimately destroys the Return-to-Truth Sect, ending the threat that had overshadowed his family for sixteen years. He gathers its remaining resources and uses puppets to dispose of its victims’ bodies and secure the aftermath 55.
Sects, craftsmanship, and influence
Lu Qingfeng becomes a sought-after alchemist and artifact refiner, first as a guest elder of the Sunset Cloud Sect and later as a true disciple of the Profound Origin Sect’s Alchemy Hall. He deliberately displays his pill- and artifact-refining skill to gain entry into the larger sect, choosing alchemy over the better-funded Artifact Refining Hall because pills are essential to overcoming his weak innate aptitude 104 217.
His rise through the Alchemy Hall is rapid. After becoming its Young Exalted One, he succeeds Gu Buyan as hall master and uses Cloudflight Island to cultivate capable alchemists and strengthen his institutional base 283 294.
Expansion across realms
Across successive lives and identities, Lu Qingfeng builds sects, territories, commercial networks, and military forces rather than relying on personal combat alone. He establishes Rain Mountain Pavilion in the Shattered Star Sea under the identity Qing Yuanzi, turns God-Seeking Temple into the strongest force in the Central Plains, and later founds the Guangyuan Immortal Court after bringing Ancient Sorrow under his authority 150 234 689.
He repeatedly treats political position, craftsmanship, formations, and disciples as extensions of cultivation. His titles as Yuan Lake Water Lord, Mount Yu Sect Master, and Heavenly Canopy True Lord give him troops, territory, resources, and legitimacy alongside personal power 368 415 730.
Personality
Lu Qingfeng is methodical, restrained, and intensely survival-oriented. His early life under the Return-to-Truth Sect teaches him to conceal his strengths, endure humiliation when necessary, and avoid gambles that could endanger his siblings 1 129.
He values long-term efficiency over immediate prestige. He prioritizes alchemy when pills are more useful than direct cultivation, specializes instead of spreading himself across every art, and withdraws from battles when victory is not certain 32 216 470. Even when immensely powerful, he studies unfamiliar techniques, accumulates resources, and prepares escape routes.
His protectiveness toward family is a defining motive. He guides Qingshan’s travels, arranges Qingyu’s combat training under hidden protection, risks the Golden Silkworm Fate-Reversing Method to improve both siblings’ aptitude, and later creates potential upper-realm connections for them 262 283 504.
He can also be severe. Lu Qingfeng eliminates enemies who know too much about his abilities, treats threats to his authority as serious dangers, and can answer defiance with ruthless punishment 129 463 755.

Alchemy, artifact refinement, and formations
Alchemy and artifact refinement are central to Lu Qingfeng’s survival, influence, and cultivation strategy.
- Becomes a First-Rank alchemist and artifact refiner through repeated study and experimentation 69.
- Reaches sixth-rank attainments in both fields after millennia of game-world practice and use of the Enlightenment Art 294.

- Creates and upgrades large-scale defensive systems, including Yuangui City’s Battle City formations 528 547.
Fate reversal and Enlightenment
Lu Qingfeng pursues methods that alter aptitude and accelerate comprehension, but treats both as dangerous tools.

- Raises his in-game aptitude from 1 to 4 despite Fate destroying the Gu during the process 224.
- Tests the method before using it to raise both Qingshan’s and Qingyu’s root bones to 4 273.
