Background / History

Lin Qingzhu comes from a low-profile cultivation family. Her father, Lin Jingxuan, is a businessman whose company is based in Zhonghai City; the family concealed its cultivation background from outsiders. Her grandfather was a peak ninth-layer Forming Yuan cultivator seeking to form a Golden Core. 80 148

While still a student, Qingzhu had already cultivated to the sixth layer of Qi Refining despite Earth's thin spiritual energy. Ning Wangshu judged her aptitude to be Eighth Grade, comparable to his sister Ning Ruoxuan's, and personally passed the Taiyin Yanshen Jue into her mind. 22 146

Ning Wangshu supplied her with Spirit Stones, a Storage Ring, cultivation guidance, and increasingly advanced techniques. Qingzhu also sought Spirit Stones for her grandfather's breakthrough rather than keeping all of the resources for herself. 148

She later underwent a Dragon Summon baptism involving a true dragon remnant soul. This strengthened her Dragon Transformation Technique beyond that of Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan, bringing it close to Great Accomplishment. 1127 1228

Appearance

During her student years, Qingzhu is described as a naturally beautiful young woman with fair skin, a rosy complexion, and expressive brows and eyes. 158

• Wore a white short T-shirt and denim shorts when meeting Ning Wangshu on campus. 158
• Has long, shapely legs and a graceful figure. 158
• Often uses light makeup to accentuate her fresh, bright appearance. 158

Personality

Qingzhu is eager to improve and responds enthusiastically to opportunities to learn, from sword techniques and spells to the Dragon Transformation Technique. She remains diligent even when techniques are difficult, repeatedly practicing the Lightning Ray Technique despite its initially low success rate. 185 209

She has a playful, occasionally tsundere side, particularly around Ning Wangshu and Xu Yingying. She enjoys showing off her Storage Ring to Xu Yingying, but is also easily embarrassed when teased about her relationship with Wangshu. 160 188

Despite her comparatively gentle demeanor, Qingzhu is firm when pressured. She refuses to surrender her Spirit Stones or join the Jidao Sect, and later remains composed when the Saintess of Unity Sacred Land attempts to intimidate her into selling a Starlight Stone. 216 1943
