Wudu Yaijin/Abilities

## Abilities

* **Cultivation**: A skilled cultivation master, her feats during the Sunshot Campaign greatly aided the efforts of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan. She was one of the few skilled female cultivators that managed to cultivate to a stage nearing immortality-rank. At the height of her prime as a cultivator, she was skilled in manipulating the element of wood and was capable of harnessing it.
* **Feng Shui**: The undisputed master of Feng Shui amongst the noble clans of the Southern Southern, Wudu Yaijin was considered the former High Elder of this field of Geomancy. Her wood alignment aided her greatly in this endeavor.
* **Swordsmanship**: A skilled swordswoman, she was the last High Elder of Feng Shui who was capable of utilizing battle swordsmanship combined with her wood alignment.
* **The Six Arts**: As the former High Elder of Feng Shui, Wudu Yaijin was trained in the Six Arts, unusual for a woman of her time. Not just skilled at archery and music, Wudu Yaijin was also good at rites, charioteering, literacy, and numeracy.
	+ **Archery**: While weaker in archery than swordsmanship, Wudu Yaijin was still skilled enough to be able to ride a moving animal and still hit her target. She was also capable of hitting targets while in motion herself, a feat that few juniors had mastered during her lifetime.
	+ **Musical Talents**: She was skilled enough of a musican to be able to sight-read music but struggled heavily when it came to remembering pieces from memory alone. Since her music was traditionally infused with her energy signature, she was able to track her targets with it.
* **Wood-Aligned**: Having walked the path of wood during her lifetime, Wudu Yaijin traversed the spiritual path that repersents life-force and much like her path, was capable of harnessing raw and unpurified Qi (in it's truest form).
* **Qi Tracking**: As a member of the Shenzhou Wudu, Yaijin was extremely proficient in tracking a cultivator's energy signature. She traditionally used Qi-infused music in order to track her targets.

## Weapons

* **Qiangqiu** (千秋, *Qiān Qiū*): Wudu Yaijin's sword and principal weapon in Feng Shui, who is capable of sealing itself with simply a mental command from it's owner. It carries the special properties of Qi-shattering, and was created utilizing Feng Shui techniques/principles. It was recovered from former Qishan Wen territory by Wudu Lifen, a distant cousin of Yaijin and has been in her posession since the beginning of Lifen's reign. Lifen later gifted it to Madame Wei.
* **Qiu** (秋, *Qiū*): Wudu Yaijin's whip. After her death, Qiu seals it's spiritual power completely so that no one but Wudu Yaijin can utilize it at it's full strength, and the sword falls into the possession of Yu Yajin, Yaijin's eldest daughter. It is later passed down to a family friend of Wudu Yaijin, Chu Daiyu, who gives the whip as an heirloom to her only child and son Chu Zhao in her will. Currently it is held by Wanning Peak Lord Mo Ran and has reportably unsealed itself for the Peak Lord's usage.

## Inventions

* **Path of Hunting**: Aligned to the element of wood, Wudu Yaijin created the Path of Hunting to honor the hunting deity Lord Meirong, with the users of the Path utilizing Feng Shui (Geomancy) as one of their key weapons. As a result of cultivating the hunting path, she is greatly intuned to the natural enviornment around her and has practically abilities in manipulation of unpurified life energy in high quantities. The red dot in the middle of her forehead is a result of cultivating the hunting path as well.
* **Feng Shui Compass**: A compass as a tracking device, those who have been marked with Geomancy are almost of fooling the tracker. However in some cases, the compass can give the wrong locations and it is incapable of penetrating qi-sensing waves through solid stone or metals of any kind.
