Background / History
Chen Qingfeng is a Chen Family member who manages Wanchun Hall, a Fengle City pharmacy and acquisition point. He first meets Lu Chuan when the latter brings in fierce-beast materials and crystal cores; Chen is impressed that a youth from the slums reached the Martial Arts Reaching Rank with so few resources. He turns their initial transaction into a continuing business relationship, supplying Lu with weapons, potions, and cultivation methods. 11 12 13
He is a member of the Demon Suppressing Division, an identity initially concealed from Lu Chuan. He identifies Lu Wangshu’s unusually high spiritual essence, provides medicine for her recovery, and investigates the Spirit Snake Cult’s infiltration of Fengle City. 38
Chen holds little affection for Chen Qifeng and is openly untroubled by his presumed death. He also bears intense hatred for Ruan Qingyu, the Chen patriarch’s wife. To obtain a Demon Suppressing Division recommendation for Lu Chuan, he asks Lu to assassinate her—a calculated arrangement that keeps Chen’s own role hidden. 26 74
After Ruan Qingyu’s exposure and the Chen Family’s resulting losses, Chen Qingfeng purges and reorganizes the family, becoming its effective controller. 168
Personality
Chen Qingfeng is observant, commercially shrewd, and exceptionally quick at drawing conclusions from limited information. He deduces Lu Chuan’s contact with Kunlun Martial Arts School and Ning Yang from a few details, then offers a candid assessment of rival factions based on their resources and leadership rather than family loyalties. 33
He values talent and long-term alliances. Although he notices Lu Chuan’s rapid and suspicious growth, he refuses to covet Lu’s secrets and instead seeks to build goodwill with him. 26
His pragmatism can become manipulative, particularly when arranging Ruan Qingyu’s assassination through Lu Chuan. However, he is deeply attached to the subordinates he considers his brothers and sisters; after their deaths in the Mount Xiang ambush, he is consumed by vengeance against Mei Changkong. 74 293
“I, Chen Qingfeng, do not stoop to coveting another’s fortune.”
— Chen Qingfeng 26
