Background / History

Xu Fan accepted Li Xingci as his fourth disciple when he was six years old. Unlike the village children Xu Fan had previously tested, Li Xingci passed Xu Fan's final Soul Trial, which screened prospective disciples for gratitude and loyalty. He possessed a clean temperament and a clear purpose in pursuing immortality. 75

Wang Xiangchi taught him the fundamentals of the Five Elements Sutra, while Xu Fan prepared a Soul Illusion World tailored to his cultivation. Li Xingci quickly became close with his fellow disciples; Xu Yuexian treated him as a junior brother, and Wang Xiangchi was especially attentive to him. 76 92

During his travels, Li Xingci brought the gifted orphan siblings Lei Ren and Lei Wenxi to Hidden Spirit Island and asked Xu Fan to accept them as disciples. He also revealed his wish to use the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Secret Art to give his mother and Wang Yulun a perfect life together. 120

Xu Fan arranged Li Xingci's connection with Su Rantian, later revealing that the pairing was intended to help him survive the dangers surrounding his inevitable Great Tribulation. The two became Dao companions after their ordeal in the Void Realm. 243 319

Personality

Li Xingci is mature, composed, and unusually calm in situations that would unsettle others. His conduct toward Su Rantian remains respectful even when she openly pursues him, and he chooses to let their relationship develop naturally. 176 185

He is deeply loyal to Xu Fan. When a Golden Immortal repeatedly attempted to recruit him in a reincarnation world with promises of powerful methods and artifacts, Li Xingci refused rather than abandon his master. 759

His experiences across reincarnations have made him reflective and compassionate. He seeks answers about his place in the cultivation world, protects ordinary people during crises, and pursues the Reincarnation Supreme Law with the ambition to become a Quasi-Saint and settle old grievances. 120 296 619 1276
