Background

Qin Mushuang was already Mu He's eldest direct disciple when Yun Luo entered the Hehuan Sect. She specialized in the Sword Dao, maintained a cold and restrained disposition, and also cultivated talismans and formations alongside swordsmanship. 4 6

She spent three years cultivating outside the sect and returned at the Golden Core Late Stage. On her return, she brought carefully chosen gifts for each of her junior sisters and Zhu Lin Fruits for Mu He. 10

During those three years, Qin Mushuang obtained the primal yang of ten sword cultivators. The sect regarded both this feat and her advancement as major accomplishments, purchasing ten thousand Big Suonas to broadcast the news across the Cultivation Forum. 13 14

Appearance

Qin Mushuang is typically depicted in white robes with an aloof, cold bearing. Her fighting style is centered on a spirit sword, which she treats with meticulous care. 5

• Wears white robes. 5
• Uses a spirit sword in combat. 5 23
• Maintains a composed expression even during sparring and public attention. 10 13

Personality

Qin Mushuang is reserved, disciplined, and intensely focused on cultivation. She considers hardship worthwhile when it leads to a breakthrough, and she is unimpressed by praise or material rewards. 10 14

Despite her sternness, she is attentive toward her fellow disciples. She selected useful gifts for Yun Luo, Chu Li, and Su Xianyu, protected Yun Luo during their secret-realm expedition, and later demonstrated her advanced Water Mirror Technique without hesitation when Yun Luo asked to learn from her. 10 23 39

As the eldest senior sister, Qin Mushuang is protective and expects responsibility in return. When Yun Luo disappeared overnight without notice, she searched for her and later warned her to inform her senior sisters in advance. 46 47

Abilities & Skills

Sword Dao and Jinghong Sword Intent

Qin Mushuang's primary path is the Sword Dao. She can wield Jinghong Sword Intent with decisive precision and is capable of fighting Golden Core demon beasts while protecting allies. 4 23

• Lured three Early Golden Core poison scorpions away from Yun Luo so Yun Luo could harvest Dragon Saliva Grass. 23
• Used Jinghong to sever a scorpion's tail and prevent the remaining beasts from escaping. 23
• Fought Lin Ting directly during the Hehuan Sect's raid on the Heavenly Star Sect disciples. 25
• Could not defeat three Golden Core Great Perfection rogue cultivators alone while her cultivation was suppressed within the Gui Xu Secret Realm; the confrontation left her injured. 24

Water Mirror Technique

Qin Mushuang can create a highly developed empathy clone through the Water Mirror Technique. Her clone is nearly indistinguishable from her real body and can perform sword techniques and other spells. 39

• Creates a life-sized duplicate with warmth and realistic physical texture. 39
• Limits her main body's synesthesia to thirty percent of the clone's sensations. 39
• Can have the clone use other techniques, though it can exert only up to thirty percent of her power. 39
• Can dismiss the clone at will. 39

Talismans and Formations

In addition to swordsmanship, Qin Mushuang studies talisman creation and formation setting, disciplines supported by the Hehuan Sect's emphasis on spiritual-sense cultivation. 6

Equipment

• Spirit sword — Her primary weapon; she maintains it carefully and uses it to execute her sword arts. 5 23

Relationships

• Mu He — Master. Qin Mushuang is Mu He's eldest direct disciple and brought her Zhu Lin Fruits after returning from three years of cultivation. 10
• Yun Luo — Youngest junior sister. Qin Mushuang protects her during the Gui Xu Secret Realm expedition, teaches her through example, and later disciplines her over disappearing overnight. 23 39 47
• Chu Li — Second junior sister. They spar together and share a competitive but familiar relationship. 5 39
• Su Xianyu — Third junior sister. Su Xianyu frequently calls her “Qin Lengleng” and competes with her, while Qin Mushuang pushes her to improve her cultivation. 10 14

Story Role

Return to Lingxi Peak

Qin Mushuang returns to the Hehuan Sect after three years away, having reached the Golden Core Late Stage. Mu He expects her advancement to strengthen the sect's prospects in the upcoming Sect Competition. 10

Her return establishes her as both a demanding eldest senior sister and a considerate one: she reprimands Chu Li and Su Xianyu for stagnant cultivation while bringing them valuable gifts, including a high-grade talisman brush and Dragon Crystal Iron. 10

Public Recognition

The elders praise Qin Mushuang for acquiring the primal yang of ten sword cultivators in three years. Sect Leader Tantai Zhao responds by rewarding and publicly celebrating her Golden Core Late Stage advancement through ten thousand Cultivation Forum announcements. 13 14

Gui Xu Secret Realm

Qin Mushuang teams with Yun Luo to collect Xuan-grade Five-Colored Lotus and Dragon Saliva Grass. She assumes the combat role, drawing away Golden Core demon beasts while Yun Luo gathers the plants. 23

After Yun Luo captures a sentient Xuan Yu Ginseng, Qin Mushuang is injured defending her from three Golden Core Great Perfection rogue cultivators sent by Lin Ting. Yun Luo activates a Spirit Barrier, and Qin Mushuang recovers after consuming part of the ginseng. 24

She later joins Yun Luo, Chu Li, and Su Xianyu in robbing the Heavenly Star Sect's gathered resources, then leads the group into a forbidden zone to escape an overwhelming demon-beast swarm. 25 27

Mentor and Guardian

After Yun Luo begins practicing the Water Mirror Technique, Qin Mushuang demonstrates her own advanced clone and reassures Yun Luo that greater size, duration, and control will come with cultivation. 39

Qin Mushuang later spars with Yun Luo while suppressing her realm to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Yun Luo defeats her, and Qin Mushuang openly acknowledges the loss. 48
