Background / History

Su Qing was a prominent Lingxiao Palace disciple: a Golden Core ancestor's granddaughter, a rare beauty, and an exceptionally strong Qi Refining cultivator. Her status and upbringing initially made her proud and willful, while Luo Qian acted as her devoted protector among the sect's younger disciples 91 92 4180.

During the Bloody Forbidden Zone expedition, Su Qing repeatedly fought alongside Lu Xiaotian and Wu Yan. Her Golden Flying Sword was destroyed while defending against Dugu Han, but her Golden Bell protected her from the killing blow; Lu Xiaotian later gave her the Magic Tools taken from Dugu Han's companion 153 154. The expedition tempered her temperament: she increasingly deferred to Lu Xiaotian's judgment in dangerous situations and came to value his calmness, intelligence, and reliability 143 152 240.

She later joined Lu Xiaotian, Luo Qian, and others on the journey toward Xuan Ye City. While contending for Gold Condensing Fruits, Su Qing used her Golden Armor and Fish Scale Whip to withstand Cheng Tao's Jade Flood Dragon attack, but was trapped by gray-green vines, struck by several Magic Tools, and severely wounded when a Jade Flood Dragon shattered her armor. More than a dozen cultivators then pursued her for the four Gold Condensing Fruits she carried 263 264. Lu Xiaotian saved her with a rare Azure Frost Dragon Mallow Pill, which healed her injuries and enabled her next breakthrough 270 271 282.

During Lu Xiaotian's long absence, Su Qing formed her Golden Core but was believed to have died in the battle of Moon Gazing City alongside her grandfather; no remains were recovered, and Luo Qian guarded an empty grave for her 855 923. In reality, she became a pale skeleton of the Ghost Tribe and was selected by the Bikong Ghost King as one of six Ghost Furnaces intended for refinement as cauldrons 923 926.

Lu Xiaotian eventually recognized the Black Robe Skeleton as Su Qing after she revisited sites tied to their past, including the places where they fought Dugu Han and sought Purple Luo Ginseng 923. Though ashamed of her skeletal form and initially unwilling to acknowledge him, she accepted his aid in recovering resources from the Bikong Ghost King's storage ring. After the Ghost King's death, Su Qing remained in the Bloody Forbidden Zone to cultivate toward the Ghost King realm rather than escape with Lu Xiaotian 924 926.

In the Ghost Realm, Su Qing and Luo Qian survived repeated dangers, established themselves as formidable Ghost cultivators, and became known for the Void Devouring Ghost Ant swarm under her command. After obtaining Mysterious Obsidian Ghost Liquid and reforging her body, she was no longer dependent on an Ant Nest for survival; her cultivation accelerated until she surpassed Luo Qian in strength 5082.

Appearance

Su Qing was originally famed in Lingxiao Palace for her alluring beauty and graceful presence. After her death, she existed as a pale skeleton in a black robe, later appearing as a silver-masked female ghost marked by the small green ring she had worn in life 91 923 1601.

• Her early cultivation attire included a small square golden seal that formed Golden Armor in battle 263.
• The small green ring on her wrist remained a distinctive link to her former identity after becoming a Ghost 923 1601.
• After reforging her body, she again possessed a stunning physical form, though she remained a Ghost cultivator 4174 5082.

Personality

In her youth, Su Qing was spoiled, proud, and quick to anger when slighted, but she was not malicious. She could recognize when she had spoken insensitively, as when she apologized to Lu Xiaotian after learning of his years in the Blackwater Stockade Mine 154 4180.

Her experiences in the Bloody Forbidden Zone made her more cautious and pragmatic. She learned to conceal her sect identity around strangers, trusted Lu Xiaotian's promises, and repeatedly showed concern for allies even when valuable treasures were at stake 240 242 263.

Becoming a Ghost left Su Qing ashamed, isolated, and reluctant to let Lu Xiaotian see what she had become. Over time, she regained her resolve and became a composed, authoritative figure capable of commanding Ghost cultivators and terrifying stronger would-be allies into compliance 923 1506 5082. Her determination to protect Luo Qian and find Lu Xiaotian remains central to her actions 5082 5135.
