Tales of the Teal Mountain Sect

Chao Ren:

A young cultivator with dreams of greatness. Chao Ren participated in the entrance exam for the Teal Mountain Sect at the age of 16, making him the youngest applicant of his year. He was a part of Exam Group 45, where he had to attempt to reach the Refining Stage of his cultivation in any of the Three Pillars without the help of his lucky red socks. He's quite tall for his age, which often causes others a bit of confusion as to how old he actually is.

Zhao Lan:

The young master of the Zhao Clan, who are renowned for their current patriarch's talent at talisman crafting. He has a bit of a chip on his shoulder, as a result of family pressures and his previous failure at the entrance exam. The self-declared rival of Lee Han and Bailong Shen, he participated in the Entrance Exam of the 658th year of the Stable Era as a member of Exam Group 45.

Lee Han:

A rambunctious heir of the Southern Lee Clan, Lee Han is a tiger guai with a sharp temper and a sharper mind. Unlike many other yaoguai cultivators, who hide their true nature, Lee Han wears his ears and tail proudly as a reminder of who he is. A long-time rival of Bailong Shen, he was forced to participate in Exam Group 45 with his old foe.

Bailong Shen:

The youngest heir of the Bailong Clan, Bailong Shen is the blue-haired prodigy of his generation. With a passion for body cultivation, the young dragon hopes to improve his cultivation so that he might escape his family's grasp. He participated in the Teal Mountain Sect's Entrance Exam as a member of Exam Group 45.

Xia Bao:

A relaxed fellow from the Wailing Coast, Xia Bao is the descendant of one of the founding families of Port Fin. He made fast friends with most of the members of Exam Group 45, which is part of the reason for their relatively strong bond after the Exam's conclusion. He practices a peculiar cultivation technique, which requires that he eat several large bowls of shrimp fried rice each day.

Min Huan:

A large cultivator with a fascination with body cultivation, Min Huan practiced the cultivation method described in the Boulder Shifting Manual prior to his admittance into the Teal Mountain Sect. He has an active interest in the physical side of cultivation that far outstrips his care for the other two Pillars. He is an old friend of Xia Bao, as their families were quite close back in Port Fin.

Instructor Yeung Lin:

An instructor of the Teal Mountain Sect. Yeung Lin is a cultivator fully in the third stage of his cultivation, having reached the third stage of each pillar well before he turned 1000. He teaches a variety of subjects, as his varied interests in different areas of cultivation have led him to explore a wide range of topics. He has developed quite a few techniques of his own, such as the (not particularly) famous Stone to Pillow Technique. He can often be seen writing in one of his iconic notebooks, which are often stuffed to the brim with ideas.

Instructor Lan Yun:

Li Gho:

Chang Hui's secretary. A talented cultivator, very little slips past Li Gho's spectacled watch. Her efficiency is the stuff of minor rumor, as she can manage incredible results on short notice.

Guan Tie:

A paper member of the Southern Peaks Gambling Hall, Guan Tie is better known throughout the Teal Mountain Sect as a multi-time tournament champion.

Notable titles he holds include being one of the few three-time winners of the Azure Wing Unification Tournament and the record for the largest crab ever caught in Lake Taiji.

The newest (and youngest) member of the Sword Intent Club. A youth from the countryside who grew up on tales of cultivators and their adventures, Gao Oma joined the Teal Mountain Sect after her potential for cultivation was discovered at a young age.

Li Zhan:

A senior member of the Sword Intent Club. A devoted student of the sword, Li Zhan forges a new blade every day as he believes the path towards the pinnacle of swordsmanship requires that perfect technique be complemented by the perfect blade.

Elder Xiao Aihui:

The current Supreme Elder of Clear Jade Mountain, Xiao Aihui is a strong-willed cultivator that will do whatever it takes to realize her vision. This trait led to her being a bit of a harsh mentor at times (as Yeung Lin can personally attest), even if her methods always managed to get results. Her personality has led many to question the true nature of her cultivation, as it opposes what many consider to be the inherent calmness her element is known for.

Lee Taijin:

The founder of the Teal Mountain Sect. Also known as The Strongest Brain, he is an esteemed Void Stage cultivator. His hobbies include crafting flying mountains, bodybuilding, and gardening.

The Thousand Li Immortal:

An enigmatic figure, the Thousand Li Immortal is one of the few that have managed to overcome the Void Stage and reach the peak of cultivation since the Age of Drought. While his power is known to all, both the true nature of it and his Dao are shrouded in mystery, distorted through the countless retellings of his deeds over the centuries. Across the nine continents, there is only one thing that can be agreed upon by each teller of tales—that all who have met the wandering Immortal will be marked by the encounter.
