Background
Lu Xiaotian began his journey as a menial laborer at the Thunder Blade Sect in Northern Liang Country, a detail he later revisited with Luo Ping'er and Xiang Qingcheng 1573. Despite poor cultivation aptitude, he achieved Foundation Establishment at a young age 167. He spent two years in seclusion at Qingyue Peak, refining pills, improving his saber skills, and familiarizing himself with puppet control, breaking through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment 233. During this time, he also learned the art of Formations from a bald old man 318.
His early experiences included battling various formidable opponents, such as the tenth-order Iron Thorn Back Demon Ni, being pursued by the Xuan Yan Ghost King, and defeating the Extinction Yin Corpse Old Demonnster 934. He also engaged in a significant battle against the Palace-dressed Woman and the Three-headed Snake Demon Biqiong, incurring substantial losses 1067. Lu Xiaotian gained recognition in Wushang City and the Xiao Family, notably defeating a late-stage Ghost King and several Nascent Soul Cultivators with a Flying Sword in a secret realm 1238.
After forming his Nascent Soul, he quickly rose in prominence, defeating Jie Wuya and suppressing the Tenth-order Gu King 1023. He became known as a Grandmaster of Pill Arts, a fact he revealed to Patriarch Mangxiao 1140. His reputation grew, earning him the nickname "White-haired Pot of Xiangdu" 1198. He also cultivated the Ten Revolutions Yuan Gathering Technique 1355.
Lu Xiaotian's journey saw him return to Qingyu Continent with Xiang Qingcheng and Luo Ping'er, where he displayed composure despite severe injuries and commanded powerful cultivators 1571. He also returned to the Wangyue Cultivation World to bury his companion Di Kun 1573. He later reunited with Zhu Jinfu and learned of Ye Ziyu's impressive cultivation progress 1830. He demonstrated his power by defeating Ye Qianxun's Lotus Clone with Xiang Qingcheng 2456.
His growth continued as he became a Third Grade Pill Saint, a status that garnered the attention and respect of figures like Yi Hua Daoist and Lin Shiqing 3567 3616 4019. His path to Profound Immortal was marked by ventures into dangerous locations such as the Tiansang Wasteland, Luoyang Prison, Yuxuan Heavenly Court Chaotic Star Domain, and the East Sea Dragon Palace Dragon Tomb 3725. His ability to advance rapidly in both cultivation and the Pill Path, often achieving victory in seemingly impossible situations, led many to consider his growth a miracle 3413 3602 3717.
After becoming the Vice Pavilion Master of Jiuyang City's Alchemy Pavilion, Lu Xiaotian gained priority access to Third Grade Pill Saint formulas and selected Immortal materials 3727. He subsequently advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, cultivated his Dragon Body further, and became able to contend with increasingly powerful opponents while concealing portions of his Dragon Race inheritance 3779 4005 4137. His pill-refining attainments later reached the Fourth-grade Pill Saint level after he simultaneously refined three batches of Soul Nurturing Yin-Yang Pills using Heaven and Earth as a furnace 4701.
In later years, Lu Xiaotian continued perfecting multiple Law Powers, including Fire, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Water, and Ice, while his Primordial Spirit reached a level described as surpassing even the Immortal Lord Realm 4345 4937 5090 5096. His achievements earned him recognition as the Dragon Lord among the Dragon Clan Army and even from former rivals such as the Puppet Emperor and Dragon Seal Sect Master 5745.
