Power Progression

Background

Su Ye grew up in Jiuhua Village, although both of his parents originally came from Nanhua Town. His father, Su Weicheng, left home with Ye Xiaoning after the family patriarch insisted that his two older brothers must marry before him 4 19.

A strong student, Su Ye frequently studied with Qin Yao during middle school. Their closeness prompted dating rumors, but they later entered different high-school classes. He subsequently attended university in Guanhai City and began an internship, eventually transferring from the head office to its Lingnan branch 7 34 36.

His employment ended after he discovered his superior demanding sexual favors from a fellow intern. While leaving the company, he was struck on the head by something falling from the sky. He awoke in Lingnan County First People’s Hospital, where a nurse attributed his collapse to heatstroke and told him that an unidentified woman had paid his medical bills 1.

Following a summons within his consciousness, Su Ye discovered the Immortal Spirit Space and the cultivation manual inside it. With his former job no longer an option, he decided to return home and use these resources to establish a farming business 1 3 4.

Appearance

Su Ye is initially tall and slender, with delicate features. Cultivation strengthens his body and gives him a more distinctive, otherworldly bearing 1 14.

• Face and eyes: After his first breakthrough, his face becomes smooth and fair, with sharply defined features and lustrous black eyes 1.
• Physique: His abdominal definition improves from a four-pack to a six-pack; later farm work reveals a strong body beneath bronze skin 1 7.
• Bearing: During his prolonged cultivation before Foundation Establishment, his presence becomes more restrained, making him appear ordinary unless carefully observed 47.

Personality

Su Ye is cautious about revealing his advantages. He limits early ginseng sales because he fears attracting people who might seize him for research, explains his unusual crops through a supposed laboratory connection, and seeks the Xiao Family’s backing when his produce attracts outside attention. Even after experiencing the excitement of sword flight, he reminds himself to remain inconspicuous and continue developing his strength 5 17 49.

He is generous toward his family and loyal to his friends. He shares his earnings with his parents, rewards villagers who help with the harvest, and intervenes when Zhang Erhu is assaulted. His consideration also extends to business dealings: he first contacts the fruit seller to whom he originally offered his watermelons before arranging their sale through the Xiao Family 10 22 28 31 33.

His caution does not prevent decisive violence. When armed men attack him and Xiao Xiao, he kills the attackers with spells and destroys their vehicle. Nevertheless, he remains concerned about firearms and does not assume that his cultivation makes him invulnerable 26 30.

Abilities & Skills
