Background

Li Xiao is a transmigrator who retains knowledge of events and figures from his previous life. Upon arriving in the Dou Qi Continent, he receives an Auction System, the Qinglian Earth Core Flame, and two Nine-Star Dou Zong subordinates: Linglong and Niu Meng 1 29.

He renames his auction house the Ascending Heaven Pavilion and divides its administration between Linglong, who handles internal affairs, and Niu Meng, who handles external matters. From its founding, he establishes an uncompromising rule against trespass and disruption 2.

Li Xiao initially treats auctions as both a source of wealth and a path to power. System rewards tied to auction results repeatedly raise his cultivation, supply powerful personnel and treasures, and fund his larger objective of reaching the pinnacle of cultivation 14 28 333.

Appearance

Li Xiao commonly conceals himself behind an Evil Ghost Mask and a white or snow-white robe. When unmasked, he has jet-black hair, sharply defined features, and a high nose bridge; his appearance is repeatedly noted as exceptionally handsome 87 120 651.

• Usually appears in a mask to conceal his identity and aura.
• Wears white robes when personally presiding over major auctions 152 651.
• His system-provided mask and robe prevent others from accurately sensing his aura or probing his soul 251.

Personality

Li Xiao is a calculating businessman who evaluates rare objects, ancient inheritances, and even political favors through their auction value. He refuses the Soul Clan’s offer of a favor for the Demon Blade because he values Spirit Crystals more than vague obligations 174.

He is strict about the Ascending Heaven Pavilion’s rules and responds decisively to violations. At the same time, he is willing to spare or recruit useful enemies, such as Fan Lao, when doing so serves the Pavilion’s interests 2 132.

Despite his detached public demeanor, Li Xiao is protective of his disciples, companions, and children. He rewards his followers’ advancement, immediately acts when Li Xiyuan is endangered, and prioritizes his family’s safety even as his influence expands across worlds 165 669 716.
