Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qi Refining First Layer | 1 | His initial documented realm, three days after receiving the system’s cultivation technique and beginner’s gift pack. Already capable of sword flight and invisibility, but ordinary cultivation stalls because Earth’s spiritual energy is extremely thin. |
| Qi Refining First Layer — Perfection | 13 | Reached after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The pill rebuilds his physique, clears blocked meridians, sharpens his senses, and increases spiritual-power circulation to more than ten times its previous speed. |
| Qi Refining Second Layer | 27 | Awarded for perfectly completing the Heavenly Music mission at the freshman gala. His meridians widen to more than twice their former size, and his strength and senses improve further. Also receives the Miniature Spirit Gathering Array Disk. |
| Qi Refining Third Layer | 45 | Receives an unconditional one-layer increase after the World Trade Center rescue and firefighting operation. His spiritual-power reserves become more than three times those of the second layer; he subsequently sustains Mach 3 flight and shatters granite with an empowered punch 46. |
Background / History
System Awakening and Journey to Jinghai
Lin Bei comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Before receiving the system, he had not mastered the family’s medical skills and was known for avoiding exercise. The God-Level Immortal Cultivation System appeared in his mind three days before his departure for university, forcibly imparting a cultivation technique and granting a beginner’s gift pack 1.
His first documented mission required him to fly by sword to Jinghai University and accumulate ten million Sensation Points during the journey. Rather than board a plane with Ruan Qingwu and Fatty Wang, he left Jiangzhou on a 9.9-yuan iron sword. He flew beside their passenger aircraft, deliberately attracting attention and provoking Zhou Zihao before accelerating away 1 2 3.
The flight drew a military interception. Lin Bei waved at pilot Xu Hu, accelerated to Mach 1.5, and eventually used invisibility to escape pursuit. Maintaining flight, resisting the high-altitude cold, and activating invisibility strained his first-layer reserves. After landing outside Jinghai, he changed clothes, bought soup dumplings, and met his friends at the airport without admitting that he was the airborne figure 7 8 9 10.
University Life and the Freshman Gala
Lin Bei moved into Room 502 with Fatty Wang, Liu Chen, and Chen Mo. He secretly removed the yin sha causing a chill around his bed, then explained the improvement through scientific-sounding claims. After using ten million Sensation Points for a system draw, he gained medical and musical inheritances, spirit stones, and the Marrow Cleansing Pill 12 13.
His transformed physique made military training effortless and thwarted Zhang Liang’s attempt to injure him. When questioned, he fabricated a family martial-arts background and claimed to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique. Ruan Qingwu, who knew his family, recognized the explanation as nonsense 17 18 19.
Although he initially refused to perform at the welcome party, Lin Bei intervened when Ruan Qingwu’s dance lost its backing track. His spiritual-power-enhanced guqin accompaniment captivated the audience and drew butterflies into the performance. Completing the Heavenly Music mission advanced him to the second layer, after which he left the stage holding Ruan Qingwu’s hand 21 25 26 27.
Helping Friends and Treating Shen Ruoxi
Lin Bei used his new spirit-gathering array to cultivate and infuse the dormitory’s drinking water with spiritual energy. The water helped his roommates dominate their fitness test, completing the Brothers’ Glory mission and earning him a storage ring and levitation formation disk 29 31 32.
He also diagnosed Counselor Shen Ruoxi’s chronic uterine cold and relieved an acute attack on campus. During a later dinner, he exposed her ex-husband Zhao Yutang’s illness and secretly redirected Zhao’s ashtray attack back onto him. When Shen Ruoxi suffered another severe episode afterward, Lin Bei carried her to a nearby hotel for treatment and eradicated the cold energy responsible for her condition 14 20 34 35 37 38.
Drone Club and World Trade Center Rescue
After music clubs aggressively tried to recruit him, Ruan Qingwu pulled Lin Bei away and selected the Drone Enthusiasts Association. He accepted the choice, reassuring her that its quiet atmosphere suited him. At a subsequent club event, he secretly channeled spiritual power through a tree to free a trapped banner, then attributed the result to resonance and wind effects 38 39.
When the World Trade Center caught fire, Lin Bei concealed his identity beneath a black hood and mask and filled his storage ring with one hundred cubic meters of river water. At the scene, he caught a falling man, located survivors through smoke with divine sense, and used the Floating Formation Plate to evacuate trapped occupants 40 41 42 43.
Over seven trips, he rescued everyone trapped above the thirtieth floor—more than one hundred people—and extinguished the fire with the stored water. The operation earned him ten high-grade spirit stones, the Black Tortoise Jade Pendant, and advancement to the third layer. He escaped the arriving helicopter and returned to campus while videos of his rescue overwhelmed online discussion 44 45 46 47.
Orange Treasure and the Haunted-House Invitation
Lin Bei later helped Ruan Qingwu save a dying orange kitten. He secretly healed it with spiritual power and gave it an Intelligence-Opening Pill, producing humanlike intelligence. Ruan Qingwu adopted the kitten, named Orange Treasure, while Lin Bei considered having it protect her on campus 48 49.
He subsequently accepted her invitation to visit a haunted house with her roommates. Zhang Liang overheard the arrangement, allowing Zhou Zihao to hire Brother Biao’s men to frighten Lin Bei and record his reaction. The supplied account ends with the scheme being prepared 50.
Appearance
- Initial appearance: Messy hair, a faded gray T-shirt, flip-flops, and a relatively scrawny build from insufficient exercise 1 13.
- After marrow cleansing: Fair, fine skin with a jade-like luster; streamlined musculature; eight defined abdominal muscles; sharper, deeper-looking eyes 13 14.
- After reaching the third layer: Translucent skin without visible pores and an exceptionally balanced physique noticeable even beneath a loose T-shirt. These changes attract his roommates’ scrutiny 47.
- Sword Immortal disguise: Face coverings conceal his identity during public flights. For the World Trade Center rescue, he wears a black hooded tracksuit and black sun-protection mask, leaving only his eyes exposed 1 41.
Personality
Lin Bei is openly lazy and prioritizes comfort over effort, attention, or conventional ambition. He declines the welcome-party signup because rehearsing would interrupt his naps, and says he will live wherever feels comfortable after graduation. His laziness does not prevent him from enduring painful transformations or undertaking demanding rescues when the rewards or circumstances justify it 13 21 22 43 44.
He is playful, sarcastic, and adept at maintaining an innocent expression while concealing supernatural interference. He invents plausible-sounding explanations for his feats and enjoys watching friends debate the Sword Immortal while standing beside them unrecognized. Despite enjoying the spectacle, he carefully protects his identity to preserve his peaceful university life 12 19 39 41 46 47.
He becomes decisive when others are threatened. His usual flippancy disappears while treating Shen Ruoxi, and he acts to protect Ruan Qingwu from harassment. His retaliation against persistent antagonists is often humiliating and covert rather than openly confrontational 10 15 20 22 35 37.
Abilities & Skills

- Supplies inheritances, pills, equipment, spirit stones, and direct cultivation increases through draws and missions 13 27 32 45.

- Reaches Mach 1.5 at the first layer and Mach 3 at the third layer 7 46.

Taiyi Divine Needle
- Grants inherited knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, diagnosis, acupoints, and treatment 13 14.
- Condenses spiritual power into invisible needles rather than requiring physical golden needles; demands precise control 20.

Fire Avoidance and Physical Resilience

- His cleansed physique withstands military training without visible fatigue or sweat and resists Zhang Liang’s collision 17 19.
- Repeated rescue trips, formation-disk activation, and fire protection nearly exhaust his second-layer reserves 44.
- At the third layer, an empowered punch splits a large granite landscaping rock without injuring his hand 46.

- Marrow Cleansing Pill — Consumed to rebuild his physique, expel impurities, and reach first-layer perfection 13.

Relationships
