Background / History
Jia Xingtian had lived for centuries and had been the Jia Ma Empire’s retired emperor for decades by the time he met Lu Changfeng. As the Imperial Family’s guardian, he helped maintain its position against the Misty Cloud Sect; the two powers had long kept one another in check 3 9 21.
Search for the Heavenly Screen’s Expert
When the heavenly screen revealed a twenty-year-old Nine-Star Dou Sheng and Tier 9 Alchemist within the empire, Jia Xingtian mobilized the Imperial Family’s entire intelligence network. He ordered searches across every city while explicitly forbidding anyone from offending the unidentified expert, recognizing that such a person could destroy the empire with ease 3.
Reports of a young Seventh-Tier Alchemist subsequently led him to suspect a connection with the screen’s revelation. He ordered discreet surveillance of the Lu Family residence, then dispatched Yao Ye with his personally written visiting card to invite Lu Changfeng to the palace 6 7.
Negotiations with Lu Changfeng
At their first meeting, Jia Xingtian offered medicinal ingredients and cultivation resources in hopes of securing Lu Changfeng’s assistance and allegiance. When Lu refused to join any faction and prepared to leave, Jia Xingtian immediately withdrew the proposal, accepted friendship instead, and promised never to raise recruitment again 9.
His opportunity to strengthen that friendship came when Lu requested the Imperial Family’s armored dragon saliva herb. Jia Xingtian gifted him the rare stalk without hesitation. Offered one request in return, he asked for help overcoming his cultivation bottleneck; Lu agreed to refine a Sect Breaking Pill if the Imperial Family supplied the ingredients 20 21.
Sect Breaking Pill and Political Aftermath
Jia Xingtian spent the following half-month arranging the ingredients and preparing an alchemy room. Fa Ma, Gu He, Hai Bodong, and Mittel Tengshan gathered at the palace for the refinement. While they waited, the Amethyst Winged Lion King arrived and addressed Lu as its master, further astonishing Jia Xingtian and the other witnesses 22 23.
After receiving the completed pill, Jia Xingtian thanked Lu repeatedly and sealed himself inside a cultivation chamber. His successful breakthrough greatly increased the Imperial Family’s prestige, bringing congratulations from major factions and alarming Yun Yun over the Misty Cloud Sect’s weakened position. News also reached neighboring powers and prompted Queen Medusa to investigate the alchemist responsible 24 25 26 27.
Jia Xingtian continued cultivating the relationship afterward. During a later palace visit, he again thanked Lu and instructed Yao Ye and Yao Yue to spend more time hosting him 33.
Personality
Jia Xingtian is politically calculating but willing to compromise. He regards an exceptional alchemist’s resources and connections as more valuable than imperial prestige, accepting Lu Changfeng’s blunt rejection rather than risking hostility. He also warns his great-granddaughters that a young Seventh-Tier Alchemist may have powerful backing 7 9.
His pursuit of advancement is closely tied to the Imperial Family’s security. He anticipates that reaching Dou Zong will end its dependence on the existing balance with the Misty Cloud Sect. Once Lu makes that possible, Jia Xingtian expresses lasting gratitude and repeatedly urges his family to preserve their friendship 21 25 33.
