Background / History

Xu Chuan began as a farmer and family man in Dongxi Village. His daily divinations guided practical decisions: rather than immediately pursuing an expensive Inner Strength Manual, he acquired fifty mu of ownerless paddy fields to secure the Xu Family's livelihood. He also helped Chief Clerk Yang Zhao inspect and allocate the Yu family's remaining land, establishing a useful connection with the county official. 2 3

He practiced the Lesser Dragon Elephant Technique while renovating and expanding the Xu residence. As the family grew, he personally educated his children, taught Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan the Thousand Character Classic, and trained the younger generation in martial arts. 6 7

Xu Chuan entered the cultivation world through alchemy and resource management. He traded Green Jade Pear planting knowledge for an Inner Strength Manual and Qi and Blood Pills, later focused on the Pill Dao, and gradually built the Xu Family into a cultivation clan. 6 88 115

After forming his Golden Core, Xu Chuan established the Xu Family as a major force in Azure Sky Prefecture. He founded Yunxi City's power structure, defeated rival families and hostile cultivators, expanded the family's commercial interests, and used the Xu Clan Grotto-Heaven to coordinate relatives across vast distances. 260 285 287 361

Personality

Xu Chuan is patient, strategic, and intensely family-oriented. He prioritizes long-term foundations—land, trade, cultivation resources, formations, and talented descendants—over immediate gains. His early choice to buy farmland instead of an Inner Strength Manual reflects this practical outlook. 2 3

As patriarch, he is demanding but supportive. He critiques Xu Mingyuan's neglect of martial arts while recognizing that the family's prosperity owes much to his business work; he also shares cultivation insights and resources with his children through the Xu Clan Grotto-Heaven. 40 287

He can be ruthless toward threats. Xu Chuan destroyed the Wu Family after their ambush, eradicated the Xue Family with allied assistance, and later ordered the Yan Family's destruction after their attempt to seize his Blood Corpses. 241 247 304 However, he also values capable allies, healing Chen Changge and accepting him as Yunxi City's Guest Elder and Deputy City Lord. 327
