Power Progression

Background / History

Early Life and the Chicken Farm

Bu Chan descends from a cultivation lineage and was sent to the Eastern Saint Sect before meeting Wang Ba. At their first documented meeting, she is already a first-tier middle-grade spirit plant specialist. She introduces the practical skills of her fellow newly admitted cultivators and proposes cooperation with Wang Ba, whose specialty is raising spirit chickens 94.

She subsequently helps at his Chicken Farm, harvesting spirit fruit, tending fields, and feeding spirit beasts. Alongside this work, she cultivates at Spiritwater Courtyard and undertakes Free Missions 101 113.

Before their mission to Meng Xing Village, Bu Chan directly confesses that she wants to become Wang Ba's dao companion. Rather than demand an immediate answer, she urges him to let their relationship develop naturally and concentrate on surviving the mission 122. They later announce their agreement to become dao companions to Shen Fu, and she helps refurbish the Chicken Farm's living quarters 137 138.

Leaving the Heavenly Gate Sect's Territory

While Wang Ba travels between garrisons, Bu Chan continues maintaining the farm and producing supplies. She collects Hundred-Fragrance Bee wax for him despite severe stings to her hands. The deteriorating military situation makes Wang Ba fear that she will be conscripted to the front 185.

The pair endure a frightening separation before reuniting. When Wang Ba embraces her publicly with tears in his eyes, she shields his face from onlookers rather than expose his vulnerability 208 209. He later arranges for her and Shen Fu to leave ahead of him; they reunite in Canglan City before Shen Fu departs alone 213 219.

At White Cloud Flat, Bu Chan reaches Foundation Establishment and continues cultivating the Thousand-God Wood. Her careful management accelerates its production of Divine Essence Dew 226 227.

Rescue from Yuan Wenzhi

Concerned that Wang Ba is increasingly dealing with Gold Core cultivators, Bu Chan insists on learning defensive, restraining, and healing techniques. Although she initially struggles, she practices them repeatedly 241 252.

When Yuan Wenzhi carries off the immobilized Wang Ba, she intercepts him, seals his escape routes with talismans, and detonates two hundred Heavenly Thunder Seeds. She then charges through the blast to retrieve Wang Ba 252.

During the pursuit, she uses her body, spirit beasts, vines, and underground movement to protect him. Yuan's Large Brush Law Artifact pierces her chest, but she continues fleeing. When Wang Ba is wounded, she exhausts herself using the Life-Restoring Technique to heal him. He recovers in time to catch her as she collapses 252.

Motherhood and Life in the Myriad Phenomena Sect

During her recovery, Bu Chan learns that she is pregnant. Although she fears her child might lack the means to cultivate, she asks Wang Ba not to ruin himself purchasing costly prenatal improvements. He nevertheless chooses to pursue both spiritual-root cultivation and innate Qi-and-blood strengthening 256.

After joining Wang Ba at Myriad Laws Peak, she continues tending spirit fields throughout a pregnancy lasting nearly ten years. With his encouragement, she also begins taking flower-viewing excursions with Gu Wen 282 295 300 305. She gives birth shortly before Wang Ba leaves for a coastal patrol and proposes the names Yi'an and Six Jin for their son 312.

Wang Ba later publicly rejects a proposed marriage to Qin Lingxiao, affirming his existing marriage to Bu Chan. In the same period, Ma Shengxu accepts her as his seventh disciple and arranges her instruction around caring for her young child 338.

Bu Chan becomes a deacon and eventually Deputy Minister of the Spirit Plant Department. By the time she prepares for Nascent Soul, she is also the leading candidate for minister, though her aptitude delays her breakthrough despite extensive support from the sect and Wang Ba 354 437 548.

Later Cultivation

After successfully reaching Nascent Soul, Bu Chan remains closely involved with her family. She later welcomes Wang Yi'an's wife, Xuanwen, and discovers that she already has more than twenty grandchildren and a great-grandson 549 691.

Her cultivation eventually accelerates through the Nine-Colored Gourd Vine. Immortal blood stimulates its growth and brings her to the threshold of Spirit Transformation; a later mixture of Immortal Blood and Immortal Marrow Jade Liquid pushes her into Void Refinement 679 743.

In her latest documented appearance, Wang Ba gives her nine-colored divine soil for the vine. Recognizing his need to resume cultivation, she leaves for spirit-plant work at the Hundred Arts Academy without forcing him to explain his reluctance to part 833.

Appearance

• Features: Fair skin, delicate hands, and almond-shaped eyes; later descriptions emphasize refined, graceful features and a composed, dignified bearing 94 584 691.
• Figure: Described as neither plump nor thin 362.
• Clothing and hairstyle: At her Foundation Establishment breakthrough, she wears a Cloud-Rising Bun, a Vermilion Long Skirt, and a Purple Gauze Overcoat. She is also shown in palace attire and plain cultivator clothing 226 249 619.
• Mature appearance: Later scenes retain her blushing expressiveness while emphasizing greater mature charm 833.

Personality

Bu Chan combines gentleness with directness. Although she can become shy around Wang Ba, she boldly questions him at their first meeting and later initiates their romantic relationship. Her confession frames dao companionship as mutual support in cultivation, not an obligation to return her feelings 94 122.

She is observant and composed under pressure. Bai Yu notices her ability to remain calm despite his superior cultivation, while Wang Ba is surprised by how methodically she handles preparations during a crisis involving the Xuli Sect. He comes to recognize that her quiet support has concealed neither a lack of courage nor a lack of intelligence 128 232.

Years of insecurity make her industrious almost to a fault. Even after obtaining better cultivation conditions, she struggles to leave good fields unused or allow herself leisure. Her slow progress in learning combat techniques does not stop her from practicing them thousands of times 241 252 283 295.

As a mother, she is affectionate but strict. Wang Ba's frequent absences leave her handling much of Wang Yi'an's upbringing, and she readily reprimands his disrespectful remarks. Beneath that sternness, she listens warmly even when he explains tribulation knowledge she already possesses 341 400 549.

Her support for Wang Ba does not erase her fear for him. She encourages him to pursue difficult obligations, yet after his dangerous Spirit Transformation tribulation, she openly protests that the sect repeatedly sends him into mortal danger 338 584.

Nine-Colored Gourd Vine

The vine is Bu Chan's bonded spirit plant and becomes central to her later breakthroughs 743.

Jadeite Emerald Pearl Burst Refinement

Bu Chan learns to refine these third-tier beads from Gu Wen, using materials supplied by her 312.

• Their explosions obstruct Divine Sense rather than relying on great destructive force.
