Background / History
Tian Ling'er is the daughter of Tian Buyi, Peak Master of Great Bamboo Peak, and Su Ru. Su Han's system identifies her as possessing the traits Fated Supporting Heroine, Beast Taming Mastery, Loyal and Resilient, and Above Average Talent. 26
During Su Han's visit to Great Bamboo Peak, Tian Ling'er guides him through the Back Mountain in search of Zhang Xiaofan and later takes him to a secluded waterfall she considers especially beautiful. Her familiarity with the area helps bring Su Han to the vicinity of the Soul-Absorbing Rod. 26 27 36
She becomes involved in Su Han's discovery and adoption of the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Gray. Though the spirit beast is initially wary, it accepts her affection, eats the fruit she offers, and rubs against her hand afterward. 40
After learning of Su Han's exceptional cultivation progress, Tian Ling'er becomes both astonished and envious. She later spends a year in seclusion, cultivating diligently while Su Han is absent. 28 117
Tian Ling'er and Su Han's friendship develops into a romantic relationship. She accepts his offer to teach her a longevity method and Dragon Transformation Technique, and later leaves Little Bamboo Peak after a seven-day stay with noticeably improved cultivation. 128 132 133
During the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament, she defeats Fang Chao with the Dragon God Skill before confronting Lu Xueqi. Although her divine-dragon transformation withstands Lu Xueqi's decisive strike, she is exhausted and Lu Xueqi is declared the winner. 202 212 215
