Lu Qingshan

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Lu Qingshan arrived in an ordinary family on Maple Leaf Star ninety thousand years before the opening. Initially believing he had entered a fantasy world, he cultivated to War God and established the Maple Leaf Empire. The planet’s discovery by slave catchers destroyed that life: his parents and relatives died resisting the Kalman Company’s forces, and he was enslaved 1 565.

His resistance attracted his captors’ attention because he killed substantially stronger opponents. Rather than sell him as an ordinary slave, the organization trained him and used a slave chip to compel him to fight rival slavers and Star Pirates. His cultivation eventually reached Universe Level Eight, but damage to his foundation later prevented advancement beyond Universe Level Nine. A later, explicitly hearsay account credits participation in the Giant Axe Life-and-Death Battle with winning his freedom 1 3 434.

Afterward, he rescued Maple Leaf Star clansmen and their descendants scattered among pirate organizations. Lu San, one of those descendants, became responsible for the empire’s talent cultivation and established Young Eagle Star as a training base 2.

Lu Qingshan married Catherine, Kevin’s daughter. During a ten-year stay on prehistoric Earth approximately thirty thousand years before the opening, they conceived and had their only child, Lu Lingxiao. Catherine eventually exhausted her lifespan; neither she nor Lu Qingshan disclosed their son’s birthplace to him 4 7.

Appearance

• Human Main Body: Handsome, with an appearance preserved accurately in an old portrait kept by a Maple Leaf Empire citizen 391.
• Usual clothing: Blue, blue-green, or azure robes 94 250 264.
• Relative stature: Appears short among the large and sometimes beastlike attendees of an interstellar auction 53.

Personality

Lu Qingshan is cautious about risks that offer little benefit. After surviving ninety thousand years of dangerous struggles, he prefers secure cultivation to unnecessary adventuring. He refuses Chi Yan’s mission invitations, declines Blood Pupil’s public challenge because it would only expose his strength, and avoids investigating the concealed Solar System because a wounded Hu Yanbo could still kill him 4 25 86.

His pursuit of disciple returns does not replace genuine attachment. He explicitly rejects treating disciples as disposable tools and remains committed to supporting Ling Xi despite her limited usefulness to his cultivation. Lei Ming regards him as a loving father, while Lu Qingshan continues to remind departing disciples to seek his help when necessary 105 113 315.

He strongly values gratitude and personal ties. He credits Ganwu Country Lord with protecting him when he was weak, remembers Yang’s support against Kunshaluo, repays his teacher’s debts, and later presents Chaos City Lord with an exceptionally valuable palace treasure in repayment for past assistance 187 250 499 826.

His protectiveness has limits. He would punish Lu Lingxiao for wrongdoing, but would not sacrifice his son merely to demonstrate impartiality. Conversely, he refuses to extend that protection indiscriminately to every descendant. Against enemies, his restraint can conceal lethal intent: after apparently sparing Black Wind, he secretly annihilates him with divine power 176 385.

Abilities & Skills

Disciple Recruitment Returns

Lu Qingshan’s golden finger grants enhanced returns from teaching and bestowing gifts on recognized disciples 3 215 457.

• Technique returns: Bestowing Qingshan—Space Advanced Edition on Golden Sword returned Qingshan—Space Peak Edition at a thousandfold multiplier 215.
• Treasure returns: Giving Ling Yu the Thunderlight Divine Sword produced the Supreme Treasure Purple Lightning Star-Shattering Sword through a ten-thousandfold return 457.
• Talent recognition: The system evaluates candidates by genius class. Lu Lingxiao became eligible for a bound master-disciple relationship after reaching its third-class threshold 225.
• Bestowal limits: A disciple’s strength restricts what Lu Qingshan can give them. He needed Zhen Yan to reach High Venerable before bestowing Supreme Treasures 517.
• No unlimited recycling: Previously returned Laser Guns could not trigger another return 105.

Clones and Survival
