Lu Song
Lu Song is a Violet Qi Division disciple who helps turn Meng Hao’s ordinary iron spear into an enormously expensive fraud. Years later he unknowingly befriends Meng Hao’s Fang Mu identity through an alchemy commission and ultimately guards the spear as a revered sect relic.
Biography
Rival bidder
Lu Song enters Eccentric Song’s trial with Qian Shuihen and sees prestigious Violet Fate disciples treating Meng Hao’s spear as a treasure from Patriarch Reliance. He and Qian compete rather than cooperate, each fearing that the other will secure an incomparable opportunity. The bidding escalates beyond their resources, forcing loans and leaving the eventual buyers impoverished. (Chapters 50–56)
Wu Dingqiu’s distant roar confirms the weapon is ordinary. Lu spends years repaying the debt while the sect exhibits the spear as a warning. His hatred of Meng Hao becomes bound to both lost wealth and public embarrassment, ensuring that later generations know the story even when they have never met its participants. (Chapter 57)
Unrecognized encounters
At the Song Clan gathering, Lu and Qian see Meng Hao again but cannot act against a cultivator whose strength and reputation have already outgrown their grievance. Later, Lu commissions the East Pill master alchemist Li Tao to make a Six Harmonies Pill. Fang Mu assists with the difficult concoction, and Lu treats the promising apprentice warmly while complaining about the villain Meng Hao. He does not recognize that the helpful alchemist and hated swindler are the same person. (Chapters 188–197 and 214–215)
Li Tao produces two pills instead of the expected one, giving Lu a successful return on his commission. The episode shows that Lu has become more careful in how he obtains cultivation resources: he hires a recognized alchemist through formal sect channels rather than bidding impulsively on an unverified object. His judgment improves even while the unresolved identity blind spot remains. (Chapters 214–215 and 223)
Keeper of the spear
By Chapter 759, Lu serves beside Qian in the Honor Guard and tends the displayed spear. Meng Hao’s return transforms the meaning of the object. What once proved Lu’s foolishness now proves that he encountered the sect’s legendary Furnace Lord before anyone understood his importance. Lu’s former rage becomes fervent admiration, and he accepts the duty of protecting the relic.
Appearance and personality
Lu Song is proud, status-conscious, and capable of nurturing resentment. Competition with Qian amplifies his early greed, while his friendliness toward Fang Mu shows he can build useful relationships when prestige is not threatened. Over time he learns to convert embarrassment into sect loyalty rather than remaining trapped in personal revenge.
Abilities and cultivation
Violet Qi cultivation
Lu is an Inner Sect cultivator qualified for Southern Domain trials and later entrusted with Honor Guard duties. The supplied chapters do not state his exact final realm or demonstrate a named Violet Qi attack, so no specific Dao Pillar or Core is assigned.
Resource access
Lu can commission East Pill Division alchemists and provide the materials or merit required for a Six Harmonies Pill. This gives him access to cultivation support beyond personal concocting ability. The successful two-pill result belongs to Li Tao and Fang Mu’s alchemy, not Lu’s own technique.
Trial and guard experience
He survives Eccentric Song’s trial, attends major gatherings, and later protects a sect display. These roles require practical cultivation and discipline, but the source does not isolate a signature weapon or battle result.
Improved appraisal discipline
Lu’s shift from an unverified spear purchase to a formal alchemy commission is a demonstrated progression in judgment. It does not make him immune to deception: he still fails to connect Fang Mu with Meng Hao despite speaking to the same person.
