Background / History

Lu He began as a tenant farmer in Azurehold Herb Garden. After discovering Old Huang’s hidden Leaf Talismans and silver, he concealed the talismans, used the silver as bait for the other tenants, and avoided revealing his true resources to Li Zhuang and the dormitory’s other farmers 3.

The Golden Book granted him the White Ape Child Cave-Evolution Diagram, which let him enter an enlightened state and rapidly improve his comprehension. He used this advantage at Enlightenment Pavilion to cultivate the Scarlet Horned-Dragon True-Origin Visualization Diagram, then relied on hard cultivation and stolen Black Jade Pill medicine to rise through the Body Transformation Realm 2 5 6 10.

After securing a Spirit-Slaying Envoy position and becoming a second-rank seed, Lu He entered Prodigy Island. There he developed his Qi-Feeding cultivation, acquired the Myriad-Dharma Marvelous-Insight Treasure Wheel, and passed the Dao Palace assessment by choosing the Five-Colored Origin-Dipper Treasure-Blossom True Formula, an inheritance with exceptional compatibility for him 15 17 33 63.

Lu He established himself as an artifact refiner through the Divine-Penetrating Five-Qi Body-Refining Diagram and the Azure Immortal Furnace. He became a guest elder of Famous Artifact Pavilion, founded Five-Qi Pavilion, and gained renown after his Seamless Void Jade Pendants sold for 47,000 low-grade spirit stones each at auction 67 73 92 96.

He later learned that his master, Hongxi, had fallen in a forbidden land. Hongxi’s inheritance included magic treasures, blessed lands, and a Five-Elements Dao Sect entry token, but also made Lu He the target of Hongxi’s three hostile registered disciples 182. Lu He instead advanced through the Nine-Calamity Wicked Azure Immortal Physique, an Earth Immortal-grade Gods and Devils inheritance nourished by Black Karma Stones 183 231.

With Daoist Hong He’s support, Lu He became a West Hall Inspector and Resonant Virtue Envoy. He was assigned authority over Longharvest, Gingerplain, Whitefang, and Bright River, where he purged Ancestral God Cult forces and eliminated the Whitefang Academy leadership involved with them 202 204 213 219.

Lu He formally inherited Hongxi’s Dao lineage as the Three-Nine Dao Palace’s ninth Dao Disciple. After defeating the three Celestial Beings who had misappropriated Hongxi Daoist Grounds’ resources, he took control of the grounds and prepared for Primordial Heaven’s selection 240 246 248. He currently operates in Primordial Heaven’s Wasteland Realm, competing for Immortal Coins and Heaven-Piercing Tower opportunities 266 275 279.

Appearance

Lu He is repeatedly described as a young man with refined features and a composed, scholarly bearing. His clothing and aura change with his status, from a tenant farmer’s coarse robes to white, gold-patterned, or black Daoist attire associated with his cultivation and Dao Palace standing 8 103 275.

• Usually maintains a calm expression even during battle or political confrontations 112 218.
• His aura became ethereal and five-element aligned after evolving the Divine-Penetrating Five-Qi Body-Refining Diagram 67.
• His partial dragon form resembles a child of five or six with visible dragon horns; his complete dragon form is markedly more powerful 167.
• His Five-Element Dao Body can appear as a young Daoist in five-colored robes identical in build to him 135.
• After advancing to the Heavenly Being realm, he can manifest the black-flame-filled Ninefold Nether Calamity Eye between his brows 236.

Personality

Lu He is pragmatic, patient, and intensely resource-conscious. As a tenant farmer, he concealed his resources, manipulated Li Zhuang’s expectations, and consistently weighed cultivation benefits against their costs rather than acting impulsively 3 8.

He is cautious when opportunities carry lasting consequences. He delayed entering the Dao Palace Examination Secret Realm until his White Ape Dao Diagram could advance, and he refused Qin Lie’s recruitment offer when its Dao Merit distribution did not suit his interests 54 57.

Despite his ruthless treatment of enemies, Lu He is loyal to those he considers his own. He supports Lu Shu and Lu Long, protects his family from Hongxi Daoist Grounds’ envoys, honors promises to Wei Lingwei and Su Qing, and accepts responsibility for Hongxi’s lineage 88 103 183 224 260.

He does not rely solely on inherited power or status. Lu He actively studies unfamiliar fields, repeatedly refines artifacts after failure, and regards strength as necessary to secure both resources and autonomy 69 94 201.
