Liu Jin

* Current
* Young

Our Heaven-defying protagonist. Thinking about many things since the fall of Eastern Port City and wishing he could be just a doctor like his father. Currently going by Qing Jin, and often wondering how sensible that was.

## History

### The Prologue

Even from a young age, Jin and his father used to gather herbs from the outer area of the Poison Fang Canyon accompanied by a member of the Xiao Sect.

We first see Jin at the age of seven trying to beat up a group of kids, Wu Yan and his friends, because they constantly belittled his father. After he returns home after getting beat up because he couldn't do much against superior numbers. Liu Jianguo decides that in order for Jin to not get beat up in the future he will sign him up to the Xiao Sect.

A year later Liu Jin and Xiao Nan where on a herb gathering run close to Poison Fang Canyon where they find an old man burning on the ground. to save the old man they search his belonging to try to find something to help him, they then find the violet foxglove a very poisons plant that reacts rather explosively with the red ash that was already in the hands of the burning man. Jin succeeds in making a pill to save the man and then he and nan take him to his father's clinic to help him recover.

When the man recovers they find out that he is an Emperor (the highest realm in the human realms of cultivation). After old jiang finds out that Jin is the son of the first and last disciple that he has ever taken he says that to pay the debt of his father he will take Jin as his next disciple.

A while after that he and Old Jiang go to poison fang canyon to start Jin on his studies of medicine and cultivation and too get to the heart of the canyon, after that it is found out that the air that belongs in the deeper parts of the canyon will make ones lung rot out with but a single breath Old Jiang starts Jin on learning the technique [endlessly refining breath] a breathing technique that is used to break down poisons and expel them from the body.

For the next year to prepare to enter the deep canyon Old Jiang started to poison Jin at first at his every waking moment with increasing doses of lethal poison until he could expel it while doing everyday activities. it then upgraded to his every moment when Old Jiang started to poison his food and during his sleep. the final test to see if Jin was ready was to expel a poison from the storm dragon empire, a poison so strong that it kills in seven seconds flat, which Jin succeeded in.

When he was but nine years old he was given a test by the Nine-Headed Snake God to determine if he would be worthy of his inheritance, it lasted three years.

### New Moon Town

A year and a half into the inheritance test of the nine headed snake god. Xiao Nan convinces Old Jiang and Jin's father to let him take Jin into a short mission of his towards New Moon Town to give him some perspective on his standing in the world . When Jin asks them about that and what to do about it because of his training old jiang says that his progress is currently acceptable and that his only training for the while he will be in new moon town is his experience there and to master the first step of the art of the roaming thief.

on the way to New Moon Town Jin and Nan talk about the techniques of the Xiao sect with what are the most easy to steal/hard top steal. the most easily stolen one being [**Ground Contraction ]** with the hardest to steal being [ **Void Fist** ]. They then discuss about the tournament that Xiao Nan has been sent to in the capital of the Crimson Cloud Empire, the Crimson Cloud Tournament, and the four great sects and the relationship between them all with the Xiao Sect.

After a couple of days as they are almost at New moon town Jin asks Nan about the happening in new moon town because he doesn't want to stall Nan in the mission. Nan says that there is little to know about the place because everyone at the place is vastly weaker than the Xiao Sect so there is no need to elaborate much although he does tell Jin about the main export of the town " steel skinned trees". As that goes on Nan grows exited as he sees one of his soul massager birds tell him the there are bandits close by. he explains to Jin about the bird and somewhat on how the thing works and at the end says that the technique will be available to Jin once he is at the Earth realm of cultivation. Jin asks Nan about the reason that he is so exited about the bandits and Nan says that one should always fight bandits when possible and that half the reason that he took Jin on this mission was to fight the bandits, he says that Jin will understand once he lays his eyes on the bandits. Jin doubts that but when he sees the bandits immediately understands what Nan was saying.

because the bandits are all so terribly weak (twelve of them and only the leader in the nascent realm) Jin is very surprised by this because in eastern port city the average 20 year old that isn't in the Xiao sect is already entering the nascent realm so to see a group of bandits so low leveled drives the point that the area Jin and nan are entering is terribly weak. Nan asks Jin if he sees anything that he likes on the bandits and Jin says that he wants the leaders scarf, and so Jin and Nan "fight" the bandits and pretty easily win the bout between them and tie them to the trees after the fight.

After the fight they go into new moon town and instead of going to the Xiao Sect branch that they were supposed to they go to a nearby shop because Nan wanted to eat some sweets. In there they witness the start of a fight between the hun and Lun Clans. that goes only so far until Nan gets tired of the entire shebang and starts to lightly flex his qi (as he is at the earth realm at the time and he only showed his level at the spirit level.) and then tells the ones arguing that he is tired of the argument and for the Lun Clan to leave and for the hun clan to pay double the price that the food was for and then leave.

After that happened Jin and Nan finally arrived at the branch that they were supposed to go to. They arrive at the surprise of the people there because as soon as the guards see them the entire place starts to panic and within 10 minutes a welcoming party is made by elders and the branch master Xiao Ding. After the welcome party brings Jin and Nan for food and entertainment/showing off session. as the food gets passed around Jin realizes that he is absolutely full because he and Nan had gone and eaten way to many sweets. Xiao Ding is desperate to impress Xiao Nan so that his son will at least learn at the main branch of the Xiao Sect so Xiao Dong is made to challenge Jin.

After the young master of the new moon branch Xiao Dong has beaten everyone that has stood against him in the sparring match. He tries to impress the main branch by beating one of the representatives of the main branch and Nan agrees to it. as Jin goes down Xiao Dong realizes that he has made a mistake because of the scarf that Jin was wearing he could not see his age properly and thought that Jin was older then he actually was and so was left with two choices - either get beat by a ten years old or be known as someone that beat up a ten year old kid. neither choice was good but the choice was taken out of his hands when he was beaten by Jin.

Jin finds his stay at the branch to be a strange thing because while the branch is far less fancy than that of the main branch as someone who can’t even get/live in the main house he finds it far more fancy than his room above his fathers clinic. he also finds the added attention far more distracting and he is not liking it as everyone from the servants and other disciples are know following his every order and Jin feels so out of place he just mostly stays in his room under the presence of meditating to get away from all the attention.

Jin thinks about what Nan had said to him about why he put him in the situation with Xiao ding and dong. Nan said that while if he had let Jin go about his way he would have tried to make things better for the others pride and there really wasn’t any reason to do that when they are the ones that have overreached trying to appease them. and so they should suffer the consequences of their own actions. Nan has also explained to Jin the state of their relationship with the branch here which is they are the superiors and the branch is the inferiors in the relationships.

As Jin is going to the kitchen to get some food some servants have seen him and basically had forced him to take more food than he had intended to take and then he had almost crashed into Xiao Heng the younger son of Xiao ding.

### The Marriage

He married Xiao Shuang when they were ten years old to satisfy the promise by Xiao Zheng and the allow her to stay around for a month longer. During the wedding he received a knife made from the claw of a Ravenous Silver Wolf as a gift from Meng Yue, a Fairy of the Divine Frozen Palace.

### The Eastern Port Tournament

When he successfully passed the Trial of Inheritance by the Nine-Headed Snake God he received the boon Veins of the Nine-Headed Snake God that shot him from Inner 1st up to Inner 7th. It also turned the six needles that were still inside of him into a much deadlier tools.
