Chương 84: Major characters up to now.

Ji Ning A transmigrator thrown into a cultivation world that seems suspiciously similar to a cliché xianxia novel. It does not take him long to realize that this world has young masters, lucky protagonists, sudden treasures, and dramatic face-slapping incidents. Since he has no intention of dying because of someone else's plot armor, Ning decides to survive with common sense.

His supernatural ability, Know Thyself, allows him to see his real-time attributes, cultivation progress, physical condition, technique mastery, and other details about himself with complete accuracy. Ning uses this to improve himself step by step. He checks his weaknesses, fixes mistakes, and builds his foundation carefully. Ning prefers preparation over reckless courage. He avoids trouble when he can, but if trouble reaches him anyway, he deals with it as efficiently as possible.

He likes watching Xiao Fan run into protagonist clichés from a safe distance, though he will also use those clichés for his own benefit when the chance appears. His biggest problem is that no one in this world understands his references. Xiao Fan The protagonist of this xianxia-like world, whether he realizes it or not. He was born with a low-grade spiritual root in a cultivator family, so most people expected very little from him. Xiao Fan refused to accept that.

He trained anyway, fought anyway, and kept moving forward even when everyone around him looked down on him. Xiao Fan is reckless and stubborn. He helps people even when it puts him in danger, which is why trouble follows him everywhere. Sometimes he finds enemies. Sometimes he finds treasures. Usually, he finds both. His mysterious technique allows him to refine the bloodline abilities of spiritual beasts.

Because of that, his path is dangerous and unusual, but it also gives him a way to grow stronger despite his weak spiritual root. To Ning, Xiao Fan is a useful ally, a decent person, and someone he should never travel with unless absolutely necessary. Ling Xin Ling Xin is a peak master, an alchemist, and Ning's master. She is brilliant, but also dangerous in the way powerful alchemists often are. Her experiments can explode, and she treats that like a normal part of research.

Ling Xin accepts Ning as her disciple after seeing his preparation and way of thinking. Under her, Ning finally begins learning real alchemy. She gives Ning a chance to step into a much bigger world, though whether that world is safe is another matter. Ling Yinran Ling Yinran is Ling Xin's niece and Ning's senior sister. She is talented and more mature than her aunt. Her first meeting with Ning goes badly because she mistakes him for an intruder and attacks before fully understanding the situation.

She means well, but she can get flustered when things go wrong, especially around Ling Xin. For Ning, Ling Yinran becomes part of his new life after entering Ling Xin's peak. Fenghuang Fenghuang is Ning's contracted White Flame Raven. Ning registers him at the Beast Taming Pavilion and names him Fenghuang after a divine bird of flame from ancient legends. Ning sees him more as a partner than a pet: Fenghuang provides his white flame for alchemy, while Ning provides pills and resources for growth.

He is a certified aura farming bird. Old Zhou Old Zhou is an older spiritual farmer who becomes one of Ning's first reliable seniors in the sect. He has been there long enough to understand how hard life is for ordinary cultivators, especially those with limited talent and limited time. At first, he seems lazy and shameless, but he is dependable and more experienced than he looks. He helps Ning understand spiritual farming and sect life, while Ning later helps him improve his own farming techniques in return.

Elder Shen Elder Shen is the old man guarding the Scripture Pavilion. He looks lazy, drinks too much, and acts like organizing the pavilion is the most painful task in the world. At first, he seems like an irresponsible elder who only wants to nap in peace, but he is much sharper than he appears. He notices that Ning is different from most young disciples because Ning is practical and does not chase flashy techniques without thinking.

Ning slowly earns his favor by helping with the pavilion, bringing wine and snacks, and knowing when to flatter him. Over time, Elder Shen becomes one of Ning's most important backers. Si Sihua Si Sihua is a senior sister connected to the Mission Hall and Moon Dew Pavilion. She is relaxed, lazy when she can be, and very easy to bribe with snacks. She is very lax, and her motto is to just live in a chill way. Si Sihua helps with missions and small problems around the sect.

Zhang Feng Zhang Feng is one of Ning's closest friends in the sect. He is cheerful and straightforward, often speaking before thinking too much about the consequences. He likes gossip, enjoys sparring, and cheers loudly for his friends. He may not be the most careful person, but he is sincere and loyal. Among Ning's friends, Zhang Feng is the one who makes things feel more relaxed. Fatty Li Fatty Li is Xiao Fan's that one fatty friend and a spiritual chef. He is friendly, cheerful, and easy to talk to.

He likes food seriously and when Ning's strange recipes appear, Fatty Li is one of the people who sees their value. Through him, Ning gets connected to spiritual cuisine. This gives Ning another way to use his modern knowledge in the cultivation world, while also making Xiao Fan's side of the story feel less lonely. Sun Jing Sun Jing is a wealthy disciple from the Sun family. He is friendly and generous, but also sheltered. He survives dangerous situations with expensive talismans and good equipment.

After Ning helps him during a bandit incident, Sun Jing befriends Ning. Wei Zhusang Wei Zhusang is a calm disciple from the Wei family and one of Ning's closest peers. He thinks before acting and understands that cultivation is not only about fighting. Resources, reputation, planning, and timing all matter to him. As a weapon refiner, he prepares carefully before battle and uses equipment to cover his weaknesses.

He and Ning are friends, but both of them are serious enough to fight properly when they stand on opposite sides. Did you know this story is from Royal Road?

She can seem cold at first, but she is not unreasonable and respects people who have real ability. After fighting Ning, she understands that he is not dangerous because of raw strength alone.

Ning observes his opponents, prepares for them, and slowly takes away their options. Lang Rulang notices this clearly, which is why she respects him even if she does not show it warmly. Su Fan Su Fan is a disciple connected to the Alchemy Hall. He acts proud and often sounds like an arrogant young master, but he is not truly a bad person. Most of his attitude comes from pressure and insecurity, especially because he wants to prove himself while dealing with his family's expectations.

He chose alchemy even though his family is more connected to talismans, so his path is not easy. He can be annoying and dramatic, but he is more comedic than dangerous. For Ning, he becomes one of his first useful connections to alchemy. Qiu Han Qiu Han is a proud genius who once believed that strength was decided at birth. He came from a side branch, but his talent raised his status, so he believed innate ability mattered more than anything else. Then Xiao Fan defeated him. That loss changes him.

Qiu Han starts to understand that effort and willpower also matter. He does not become soft overnight, but he becomes less narrow-minded. Ning also ruins his favorite "iron and gold" metaphor by explaining that iron is actually better for making weapons. Jin Su Jin Su is a beast-taming disciple who fights together with her gray wolf, Hei Ya. She is confident in battle and does not hesitate once a fight begins. Her strength comes from working with her spirit beast, not from fighting alone.

This makes her a difficult opponent, since a person can be tricked, but a trained beast with sharp senses is much harder to fool. Her fight with Ning shows how troublesome beast tamers can be. Zhou Sheng Zhou Sheng is a clan-backed disciple and one of Xiao Fan's major opponents. He is used to relying on his background and status, so he looks down on people like Xiao Fan, who have weaker roots and less support. His defeat becomes part of Xiao Fan's rise.

Xiao Hong Xiao Hong is a young master from the Xiao family and one of Xiao Fan's early rivals. He looks down on Xiao Fan because of his low-grade spiritual root and fallen position in the family. He represents the pressure Xiao Fan faced before entering the sect. He is the kind of arrogant family genius that usually appears in a xianxia protagonist's early life. For Xiao Fan, defeating people like him is part of proving that his future is not decided by his starting point.

Xiao Qing Xiao Qing is a top-grade spiritual root genius from the Xiao family. Unlike the louder young masters, Xiao Qing represents real talent. Her starting point is far above ordinary disciples. There are actual geniuses out there, and some of them are far ahead from the beginning. Qiao Mei Qiao Mei is a gentle member of the Mutual Aid Association. She cares about Wei Zhusang and wants him to do well, which leads her to ask Ning to surrender before his match against Wei. It is not done out of malice.

Hu Yue Hu Yue is a senior sister from the Spiritual Farming Hall. She is practical and understands the value of real spiritual farming. She notices early that Ning is not just another disciple assigned to the fields because he has no better option. Hu Yue helps Ning with seeds and farming-related support. Fang Zhu Fang Zhu is the steward connected to Ning's farming area. He is talkative and shameless, but he knows how the system works.

He explains prices, harvest rules, sect arrangements, and the practical side of spiritual farming. For Ning, Fang Zhu is useful because he understands the small details that actually matter. He is not powerful, but he knows the job. Luo Hong Luo Hong is an elder from the Spiritual Plant Hall. He values real understanding over empty confidence. During the spiritual plant assessment, he helps confirm that Ning is genuinely skilled, not just lucky.

Passing the exam under his watch gives Ning's identity as a spiritual plant master more weight. Li Houran Li Houran is one of the sect's strongest spear masters. Ling Xin asks him to guide Ning past his bottleneck in spear cultivation, and Li Houran does so by pushing him hard enough to force a breakthrough into Unity. He is rough as a teacher, but he understands the spear deeply. He also recommends the Cold River Spear Technique, which suits Ning's ice-attributed body refinement and careful fighting style.

Sui Feng Sui Feng is Ning's new neighbor from Courtyard 68. He is broad-shouldered and friendly. He invites Ning to a local gathering and later supports him when Lao San tries to isolate him. Sui Feng also explains the faction problem behind the scenes, making him one of Ning's first useful contacts among the inner sect farmers. Old Fang Old Fang is an experienced spiritual farmer from Courtyard 66. His courtyard becomes the place where Ning attends the spiritual farmer gathering.

When Lao San tries to turn the gathering into a conflict, Old Fang is the one who stops it before it becomes a bigger mess. Senior Sister Chu Senior Sister Chu is one of the spiritual farmers near Ning's new courtyard. She specializes in water-attribute spirit herbs and owns many rain-type spells. Lao San Lao San is a spiritual farmer who follows Liu Yue's faction. He confronts Ning at the gathering because Ning became Ling Xin's disciple despite being praised as a promising spiritual farmer.

His problem with Ning is not only about farming pride. It is also connected to inner sect faction politics. He tries to pressure Ning into a spiritual farming combat challenge, but Ning refuses because the match would clearly be unfair. Liu Yue Liu Yue is the foremost genius of the Spiritual Farming Hall. Li Changshou Li Changshou is the Nascent Soul founder of the Pure Qi Sect. Ge Xuan. Current Sect Leader of the Pure Qi Sect.
