* AffairBlameTheBastard: Lu Mei did not have an easy upbringing. Her mother conceived her as part of a divorce scheme that didn’t pan out, so neither of her parents wanted her anywhere near them, but due to Mei’s [[SuperpowerfulGenetics Feng blood]] she was too valuable to get rid of.

* AppropriatedAppellation: Elder Xun once told a disciple ''"You are mud."'' Mud has gone by that name for 200 years in the hopes that one day, like mud, something good will grow from him.
** Neither Feng Shang nor Feng Gui show the slightest concern for their subordinates. They don’t care how many disciples die fighting for them and when they’re provoked into an actual fight with each other, they don’t even seem to notice that their auras are accidentally incinerating their servants.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: When exploring his own soul, in search of Old Jiang’s manual, Liu Jin finds a burning replica of Eastern Port City being attacked by faceless soldiers from Murong Bang’s Army. Liu Jin slaughters dozens of them in a rage, while fighting his way through the city to the Xiao Sect compound.
** When Feng Zhi thinks that Liu Jin is manipulating Feng Hao on behalf of Elder Xue, it’s only the knowledge that Feng Hao would be upset with him, that prevents Feng Zhi from immolating Jin on the spot with the Eternal Flame.
** Liu Jin takes on a similar role to [[ChildProdigy Feng Hao,]] with Jin noticing that Feng Hao is asking him the same sorts of questions about the world that Jin once asked Xiao Nan. Feng Hao admires and seeks to emulate Jin more than he does his actual brother, Feng Zhi.
** This is the case for the major buildings in the Eternal Flame Clan, despite the buildings being miles apart from each other and the sect compound having vast amounts of empty space.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Liu Jin is well aware that associating with Feng Hao is incredibly dangerous for him and making him a lot of powerful enemies, but Jin can’t bring himself to turn his back on a child who needs a friend.

He decides to wait until morning Elder Xue about it, since running off immediately is [[GenreSavvy the kind of situation]] that would end with him getting assassinated.

* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Divine inheritances can only be used can only be used by those the god or the inheritance itself deems worthy, like Liu Jin passing the Nine-Headed Snake God’s trial. The Eternal Flame is unique in that it has been split in half with the Eternal Flame Clan holding one half and the Crimson Cloud royal family holding the other. Anyone can use it and it can be passed down through bloodlines. The biggest division in the Eternal Flame Clan is whether or not to fix the Eternal Flame for the chance of access to far greater power, running the risk that the Eternal Flame might judge everyone unworthy, and the Clan would lose access to it entirely.

* SmokingGun: Elder Xue had ironclad proof of Elder Cheung’s guilt, but she opened her prosecution with weaker evidence so Elder Dang would more confidently defend Cheung and discredit himself when Xue revealed her proof. As Elder Dang oversees [[InternalAffairs Internal Disputes]] this prevents anyone from stopping Elder Xue from permanently taking over the Medical Pavilion.
* StateSec: The Internal Force was a disbanded subdivision of the Eternal Flame Clan’s Division of Internal Disputes that Patriarch Feng Zhang allowed Elder Dang to recreate on the pretense of trying to decrease the number of disciples who break the Clan’s rules of engagement. The Internal Force’s methods of punishment are extreme violence and the only people they punish are supporters of Feng Gui. Even many of Feng Shang’s supporters don’t like the internal force and were against them being reinstated.

* TeamSwitzerland: Elder Xun is the oldest and strongest Elder in the Eternal Flame Clan and has zero interest in Feng Shang and Feng Gui’s power struggle. Xun makes a point of openly burning any gift either side gives him, and many disciples try and work in the Technique Hall Xun oversees so they can sit out the conflict.
** The Medical Pavilion is supposed to be this, which is why Lu Mei joined it early on, as the Pavilion is supposed to heal anyone who needs it, and Elder Cheung is one of the weakest Elders and no one would bother getting his support. However, Liu Jin’s discovery of Elder Cheung’s [[HumanResources crimes]] and Elder Xue’s subsequent takeover, puts the Pavilion firmly in Feng Gui’s camp. Though Jin makes sure that the Medical Pavilion still fulfils its purpose and heals everyone who’s injured, regardless of their affiliation.
* TheTease: Lu Mei, especially towards Liu Jin, though he has a better track record of flustering her than the inverse.
** Elder Xue is one towards Elder Chang. He is [[CrushBlush not good]] at ignoring it.
* Telepathy: Cultivators can project their thoughts into other people’s heads. Liu Jin likens it to using Qi to project your voice without actually speaking. It’s a useful skill for holding conversations you don’t want overheard.

* TheTapeKnewYouWouldSayThat: And the tape play you would play that tape first and how long it would be before you played it. Old Jiang’s first words when Liu Jin uses the first [[MemoryJar memory jade]] is telling Jin how predicable he is, preemptively state that Jiang obviously can’t hear him, explain that Jin is so methodical that Jiang knew he’d play the jade at the far right of the box first and correctly estimate that he’s been dead for at least a year before Jin used the jade.
* UnskilledButStrong: Feng Hao is at an astonishingly high level of cultivation for his age but since he’s only eight he hasn’t had time to develop his technical fighting skills to the same degree and usually tries to overwhelm his opponents with pure power.
** Elder Dang was given a tool that let him create blind spots in the barrier protecting and surveilling the Eternal Flame Clan to let the Internal Force break the clan’s rules. Talismans and barriers are not Elder Dang’s forte, so he didn’t realise the immense danger to the Eternal Flame Clan’s security this tool represented.
* WhenTreesAttack: Reverse Trees grow upside down, burrowing into the earth until they find an underground cavern, and need total darkness to grow instead of light. If anyone gets close to it, the tree grabs and [[VampiricDraining drains]] the life out of them.
* WillfullyWeak: Elder Chang is at the ninth level of the Heaven Realm and is strong enough that reaching the Emperor Realm is a certainty. However, that would require him to enter the Renegade Realm and isolate himself from the world for several years, which he refuses to do while the Eternal Flame Clan is in turmoil.

* WouldHurtAChild: Upon being released from prison the first thing Xun Huwen does is try to murder the eight-year-old [[ChildProdigy Feng Hao.]] Just for the chaos Feng Hao’s death would cause.
* WreckedWeapon: Liu Jin’s fight with Huang Shing leaves Jin’s spear on the verge of shattering. [[TheBlacksmith Guo XueSheng]] deems the spear not worth repairing and offers to make Jin a new one, more suited to his level of strength.

* FailedASpotCheck: The Divine Frozen Palace don’t notice that Eastern Port City and the Xiao Sect have been destroyed until Song Daiyu turns up to tell them about it, weeks after it happened.

* IShallTauntYou: Bei Hong and Huang Shing’s incessant boasting when they beat the Inner Disciples, provides a constant stream of opponents, futilely trying to put them in their place. This allows them, Liu Jin and Lu Mei to gain enough points for promotion in a single day, as they don’t need to use their guaranteed challenges to get fights.
* JustFriends: Bei Hong and Lu Mei have been close friends since childhood and have zero romantic interest in each other. Lu Mei thinks Bei Hong is a fight-obsessed idiot and Bei Hong thinks Lu Mei is far too attractive and devious to be worth the headaches of a relationship with her. Bei Hong gives Liu Jin his sincere condolences, when Lu Mei develops an interest in him.

The Heart Devils are about as strong as Wong Shou himself and can be created with no cost. Wong Shou is easy enough to deal while he’s in the Spirit Realm but if he reached the Heaven Realm, he’d be an [[StoryBreakerPower absolute nightmare.]]

* MysteriousMist: The perpetual, heavy mists of the Night Forest cast illusions to confuse those travelling through it. This is caused by the high amount of ambient Yin Qi in the area.
* NeverGetsDrunk: Liu Jin’s poison purging technique works just as well on alcohol.
* NoManShouldHaveThisPower: Wong Shou’s ability to produce an infinite number of Heart Devils that are as strong as he is, would make him incredibly dangerous if his cultivation reached the Heaven Realm. Feng Zhi refuses to let Wong Shou fall into the wrong hands, even those of Feng Zhi’s own sect, and [[MercyKill incinerates him.]]
** Huang Shing feels like one when he enters the Eternal Flame Clan’s Selection Exam. Being in the Ninth Level of the Nascent Realm at 14 is a sign of incredible talent in most places, but the Eternal Flame Clan is one of the four strongest sects in the empire and almost everyone applying is like that. [[DownplayedTrope However]], it soon becomes clear that Huang Shing is still a clear cut above all but four of the other applicants that year.
* NotWorthKilling: Feng Zhi didn’t feel the need to take Huang Shing even slightly seriously, when Shing tried to prevent Zhi from taking Yi Jiao. Feng Zhi is rather annoyed when he learned that Huang Shing didn’t take the hint and is still trying to get Yi Jiao back.

* ProudBeauty: Lu Mei knows how attractive she is and takes full advantage of it. When Liu Jin comments that he’s never met a woman who will directly call herself stunning, Mei states that pretending to be ObliviouslyBeautiful, will only be able to seduce idiots.
* RageQuit: Meng Yue pulls the classic [[FlippingTheTable “throw the board out the window”]] move, when Bai Lianshi effortlessly wins their game of Go.
* RapidFireFisticuffs: The basis of Huang Shing’s Nine Dragon Slaying Palms along with the MegatonPunch. Huang Shing hit’s an opponent 437 times before the impact of the first blow has time to launch it backwards.

* ReassignedToAntarctica: Liu Jin and his friends are assigned to accompany Feng Zhi on a diplomatic mission to Night Phantasm City, as their punishment for their fight with Bei Duyi and the others. It’s far more an Antarctica for Feng Zhi than it is for them, as the whole mission is just a way for Feng Zhi to save face and have an explanation for why he wasn’t invited to the Crimson Cloud Tournament.

* SecretlyDying: Ruan Goutin was ambushed at the last Eternal Ragin Valley summit and sustained an injury that steadily destroyed his cultivation. To prevent the ‘‘many’’ people who wanted to take advantage of his weakness from getting ideas, Ruan Goutin increased his normal brutality to even higher levels while desperately searching for a doctor to heal him, before his condition could no longer be hidden.

* ShockAndAwe: Liu Jin learns to use lightning attuned Qi from Lei Kong, so he has an alternative to his [[CoverBlowingSuperpower poison Qi]], during his time in the Eternal Flame Clan.
* SketchySuccessor: The only person who wanted [[NervousWreck Wong Shou]] to lead the Bright Phantasm Sect was his father. Almost everyone else, including Wong Shou, thought that his indecisive and cowardly nature would cause him to crack under the pressures of leadership instantly and tried to get Wong Rou to choose someone else. [[SubvertedTrope To everyone’s surprise]], Wong Shou managed to completely change and began acting like an ideal heir, without a hint of his former cowardice. [[DoubleSubverted It turned out]] that all his character flaws [[EnemyWithout went elsewhere.]]
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: There are many abilities that are only possessed by members of a certain bloodline like the Feng Clan’s [[PlayingWithFire Eternal Flame]] or the Qing Clan’s [[ShockAndAwe Purple Lightning]]. All clans and sects practice eugenics to add useful abilities to their ranks or improve ones they have.
* TemptingFate: Huang Shing does this repeatedly when he comments that the Eternal Flame Clan’s Selection Exam easier than he expected. He decides to stop when he and Liu Jin are attacked by two dozen Yellow-Crowned Lizards after they easily kill the first one.
** Just before they arrive in Night Phantasm City, Feng Zhi tells Liu Jin and his friends, “With any luck, we have two boring weeks ahead of us. I look forward to them ending, so that I may no longer deal with any of you.” Obviously, neither of those things happened.
* ThatCameOutWrong: Liu Jin comments that it would be wrong to call him and Lu Mei friends, after she kisses him in front of a crowd of people she’d [[CharmPerson charmed]] and he had to [[CockFight fight one of her admirers.]] Lu Mei has to explain to him that everyone took that to mean they were actually more than friends and even people like Feng Zhi think they’re in a relationship.

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Wong Shou’s ability is seemingly unique and, potentially, incredibly powerful. If any sect learned about him, they’d vivisect his soul as well as his body, to see how he worked. Wong Shou is spared this fate by Feng Zhi deciding that he’s too dangerous to be brought to the Eternal Flame Clan, given the sect’s internal unrest, and incinerates him.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Summoned shades are destroying the Bright Phantasm Sect’s resources and given their ability to bypass the defenses must be being created by a traitor within the sect itself. A trap reveals that the shades are actually {{TheHeartless Heart Devils]] being unknowingly created by Wong Shou as manifestations of his [[TheDitherer indecisiveness]]. Wong Shou himself is actually a nascent Heart Devil representing Wong Shou’s ideal self, possessing the original’s body, which the Heart Devil had no idea about.
* TongueTied: In order to prevent Liu Jin leaking the details of his condition to anyone, Ruan Goutin uses a technique on him that renders Liu Jin [[TheSpeechless unable to speak a word]] to anyone.

* UnknownRival: Huang Shing assumes that he posed so little threat to Feng Zhi, that Feng Zhi wouldn’t even remember his attempt to stop Yi Jiao’s [[DroitDuSeigneur abduction]] and Feng Zhi gives Huang Shing no indication that he does. [[SubvertedTrope However]], Feng Zhi later reveals to Liu Jin that he knows exactly who Huang Shing is and why he’s come to the Eternal Flame Clan. Feng Zhi doesn’t remotely view Huang Shing as a threat, but he does remember him.

Cultivators are ordered to go outside cities when they need to ascend anywhere past the first level.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Liu Jianguo crippled his meridians, removing his ability to use Qi, as part of his penance. Although, in this [[EveryoneIsASuper world,]] that’s very abnormal.
* TheChainOfHarm: The older outer disciples of the Xiao sect bully the newer ones and force them to do their chores for them. The newer disciples take out their frustrations on the disciples who come after them. Liu Jin is spared from having to go through this by Xiao Nan’s intervention.
* ComfortingTheWidow: Xiao Heng absolutely dives on the opportunity to marry Hu Meili after his brother is murdered. Liu Jin does not think highly of this and [[WhatTheHellHero lets Xiao Heng know it.]]
* DeadlyDoctor: Liu Jin. As is the case for every apprentice of [[OldMaster Old Jiang.]] Jiang tried to avert it with Liu Jianguo and made him swear an oath to never use the knowledge Jiang taught him to harm others, but Jianguo [[TheOathbreaker never had the slightest intention of keeping it.]]
* DeathOfTheOldGods: There was a war between the three continents thousands of years ago that was destructive enough to even kill entities like the Nine-Headed Snake God.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In an attempt to show off for the main branch representatives, Xiao Dong challenges Liu Jin to a fight. However, he didn’t check how young Liu Jin was, so Xiao Dong puts himself in a situation where his [[MortonsFork only options]] are to beat or by beaten by a 10-year-old. Neither which is anything to boast about.
* DrivenToSuicide: Hu Meili claims she tried to slit her wrists after hearing of Xiao Dong’s death, but the cuts are too shallow to kill her and were made too recently. The Xiao Sect elders can tell she’s lying but play along as it suits their purposes.
* DrJerk: Doctor Wu is the second-best doctor in Eastern Port City but charges exorbitant fees for his services and spreads MaliciousSlander against Liu Jianguo to try and remove his competition. He’s also involved in at least one murder conspiracy.
* EngagementChallenge: On his wedding day to Xiao Shuang, Liu Jin has to find her shoes, which have been hidden on the roof of Shuang’s massive house before the ceremony can occur. Jin thinks the whole tradition is idiotic.
* EveryoneIsASuper: Absolutely everyone [[KiManipulation cultivates]] and not being able to is considered a disability on par with being blind or paralyzed.

* EveryoneIsASuper: Absolutely everyone [[KiManipulation cultivates]] and not being able to is considered a disability on par with being blind or paralyzed.
* FlashStep: Almost every Sect has their own movement technique that lets them perform variants of this. The first level of the Art of the Roaming Thief allows Jin to slip through his opponent’s blind spot rather than actually increasing his speed, like most other techniques.
* GambitRoulette: Lun Shu’s plan could have fallen apart if a single thing hadn’t gone exactly as he needed it to. [[GenreSavvy This was intentional]] on Lun Shu’s part. In all the stories, cultivators from humble origins don’t succeed through clever plans but through getting ridiculously lucky. He might have won if it weren’t for [[SpannerInTheWorks Liu Jin and Xiao Nan.]]
* GenderRestrictedAbility: Only women can have a Body of Extreme Yin. Presumably there’s a Body of Extreme Yang that’s exclusive to men.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: Xiao Fang gives one to Liu Jin while dramatically declaring his opposition to Jin marrying Fang’s sister and his intent to be as [[ObnoxiousInLaws obnoxious an in-law]] as possible.
* GoodParents: Liu Jianguo is an unwavering source of support, advice and understanding for Liu Jin. Jin finds the idea that he could ever learn anything that would make him lose respect for his father completely incomprehensible.
* HopelessSuitor: Su An is this to Xiao Nan and she becomes Liu Jin’s follower, in hopes of getting herself into Xiao Nan’s good books. Jin is very pessimistic about her chances.
* HumanPincushion: To prevent himself from being killed by the Nine-Headed Snake God’s venom, Liu Jin spends three years with needles stabbed into his [[PressurePoint pressure points]], to alter how his Qi and the venom flows through his body. He needed 27 needles at the start but was able to gradually reduce the number as he got used to processing the venom.
* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: Poison Fang Canyon is a three-mile-deep ravine near Eastern Port City where everything from the air, soil, plants to giant monsters are deadly poisonous. It gets worse the further one goes in, to the point where breathing the air makes the lungs rot.
* IllBoy: Xiao Heng was born with a blockage in his lungs, actually his parasitic twin, which caused him chronic pain and greatly hampered his cultivation. Liu Jin healed him by feeding him a pill which made him cough the thing up.
* ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty: Cultivation can extend someone’s lifespan up to a millennium, with higher realms living longer. Everyone appears to age normally until they are fully grown, regardless of how strong they are.
* ImpossiblyCoolClothes: Xiao Sect uniforms are made from spirit beasts and are impervious to both dirt and sweat. And that’s just what the outer disciples get to wear.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: There’s no malice in Meng Yue’s actions but she doesn’t even have an intellectual understanding of tact or humbleness. Her fellow elders try to convince to never leave the Divine Frozen Palace, so she won’t embarrass them.
* InterclassFriendship: The friendship between the emperor level cultivator Xiao Zheng and the crippled doctor Liu Jianguo baffles most people, including Zheng’s son. The relationship was formed by Jianguo saving the life of both Zheng and his daughter. [[KingIncognito Jianguo]] is actually the higher class one though.
* IOweYouMyLife: Xiao Heng to Liu Jin, in the sense that Liu Jin curing him gave Xiao Heng a life that was worth living. Heng swears eternal devotion to Jin and waits on him hand and foot, to Liu Jin’s great annoyance.
** Lei Kong is this to Liu Jin, even more so. Jin saved Kong’s life and asked for nothing in return, Kong then brought an army that murdered Jin’s father and destroyed his city. Lei Kong admits that there’s nothing he could ever do to make up for this and will do anything Liu Jin asks of him without complaint including letting Liu Jin murder him.
* IWasJustPassingThrough: Xiao Fang tells Liu Jin that saving him from Yun Han means nothing and that he was just upholding the sect’s honour, though he later admits to Xiao Nan that he was motivated by fear of Old Jiang’s reaction to Jin’s death.
* {{Kaiju}}: The Nine-Headed Snake God’s fangs are big enough that a billion-billion blades could be made from each of them. The author states that this is NotHyperbole. For context, that makes each fang about [[HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure five times the mass of Mt Everest.]]
* KilledMidSentence: ''“Not bad, but can you face the Second Commander of the Black Bear Band-gck!”'' Yes, Xiao Nan could.

* KilledMidSentence: ''“Not bad, but can you face the Second Commander of the Black Bear Band-gck!”'' Yes, Xiao Nan could.
* KnightsAndKnaves: Subverted. The Tree of Deceitful Whispers has two faces that give conflicting information about which fruits are poisonous. Lun Shu tells Liu Jin that [[DiscussedTrope this trope isn’t in effect]] and both faces will say whatever’s most likely to get the person eating the fruits killed.
* LesCollaborateurs: The Lun Clan’s opinion of the Hu Clan. Their original plan was to ally together to drive the Xiao Sect out of New Moon Town, but the Hu clan backed out, to ally with and marry into the Xiao Sect instead. In the end, it doesn’t work out quite as well for the [[TheQuisling Hu Clan]] as they’d hoped.
* LongLived: A person’s lifespan increases along with their level of cultivation. Each Realm seems to grant around an extra century. If a cultivator [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascends]] to the divine realm, they become properly immortal.
* ManOnFire: Old Jiang isn’t quite hot enough for the air to ignite when Liu Jin first finds him, but the poison has caused his body temperature to rise high enough to cause the grass around his body to turn to ash.
* MightMakesRight: The Crimson Cloud Empire barely appears to have laws at all. Someone strong or well-connected enough can murder people in broad daylight without any need for justification. As Liu Jin puts it: '' The strong can do what they want, and the weak have no choice but to endure. That is merely the way the world works.'' After [[GeneralRipper Murong Bang’s]] attack, Liu Jin decides that this state of affairs has to change.
* MuggingTheMonster: The Black Bear Bandits attempt to waylay Liu Jin and Xiao Nan on their journey to New Moon Town. The only reason they aren’t all dead before they have time to blink is because Xiao Nan wanted to give Liu Jin the opportunity for a real fight.
* TheNeedless: The higher a person’s cultivation the longer they can go without eating or sleeping. Xiao Nan states that he could go without food for over a year if he wanted to.
* NeutralityBacklash: The Hu Clan’s fence-sitting during the Lun Clan’s powerplay loses them their good standing with the Xiao Sect and they are forced to give up their access to the Tree of Deceitful Whispers.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Liu Jin is a very small fish by the standards of the Xiao Sect’s main branch but when he goes on a trip to New Moon Town, he’s seen as an incomparable ChildProdigy. The brightest talents in New Moon Town would be considered embarrassments in Eastern Port City’s Sects and the town’s local bandit clan is so weak that a life of crime should be suicide. Xiao Nan specifically took Liu Jin there to give him some perspective of the outside world and help him stop comparing himself to stronger people all the time.
* OldMaster: Old Jiang is an extremely old, above Emperor level cultivator, the greatest doctor in the world and the teacher of most of the runners up.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: A demon is created if a non-human organism lives for a century, which gives it a one-in-a-trillion chance to cultivate, gain sentience and attain a human form. Old Jiang estimates that, at most, a dozen demons have been born on the Vermillion continent in thousands of years. However, if a demon manages to breed, their offspring will become demons far more easily and as demons are born in the Earth Realm, they pose an immense danger to human societies if they ever get a foothold.
* PerceptionFilter: Mastery of the fourth step of the Art of the Roaming Thief lets the user disguise themselves as a completely ordinary person, who is unconnected to the user and should be left alone, even if the techniques activated mid-conversation.
* PhlebotinumPills: There are a variety of magical medicines (from potions and elixirs to actual pills) that help improve cultivation.

* PowerUpFood: The Tree of Deceitful Whispers produces two kinds of fruits. One kind is poisonous but the other provides a large power boost. (Well, large by [[NormalFishInATinyPond New Moon Town]] standards.)
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Averted by Liu Jin and Jianguo who are two of the kindest and most moral characters in the story. [[TheAtoner Jianguo]] used to play it very straight though.
* RussianRoulette: New Moon Town’s Tree of Deceitful Whispers gives fruit of two different colours, one of which increases the eater’s power and the other is deadly poisonous. The only way to tell which is which, is to force someone to eat a fruit and see if they die. Unfortunately for Lun Shu, he chose [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity Liu Jin]] to perform the taste test.
* ShelteredAristocrat: Xiao Shuang had to spend her entire life hidden inside her bedroom to keep her safe. She’s ecstatic at just being able to walk through the city.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: Old Jiang. The first practical lesson he gives Liu Jin is feeding him a poisonous fruit and telling him to figure out how to purge the poison from his body. He continues feeding him progressively more deadly poisons for an entire year to prepare him for journeying into the center of Poison Fang Canyon. Once there he has the Nine-Headed Snake God mark Liu Jin with a brand which continuously pumps a poison into his body which causes agonizing pain and will kill him instantly if he ever stops purging it.

* SocialClimber: Liu Jin begins attracting them after he marries Xiao Shuang. [[CoolBigSis Su An’s]] the only one who has any real luck, since she promised Jin she’d force the others to stop bothering him.
* TheStoic: Liu Jin is not given to strong emotions and even when he does feel them, rarely shows them outwardly.
* SuperEmpowering: Old Jiang has enough knowledge of the body to directly interact with someone’s meridians and let them cultivate far faster. He could have increased Liu Jin’s growth tenfold rather than just by 30%, but that would’ve drawn [[CoverBlowingSuperpower far too much attention.]]
