Background / History

Qin Fan spent ten years trapped in a remote mountain. Visitors who wandered into the area became his disciples after witnessing his abilities; he taught them disciplines including medicine, physiognomy, wealth management, assassination, and ancient martial arts. His Divine Disciple Recruitment System required him to cultivate ninety-nine disciples capable of influencing the world, a mission he completed. 405 437

Tantai Yaoyue studied ancient martial arts under Qin Fan and eventually completed her training. With the ten-year milestone reached and his mission complete, Qin Fan urged her to leave the mountain. 405

After burning his mountain houses, Qin Fan descended to Qingling. He agreed to treat Ma Hongsheng’s residual poison after Old Man Xiao gathered rare medicinal herbs, then accepted accommodation, transportation, and meals arranged through Cheng Rui. 406 433 437

Personality

Qin Fan is intensely self-assured, believing that his vast collection of skills and martial strength place him above other men. He initially remained composed even when provoked by Zhen Shuai and Wang Haoran, but his confidence often became arrogance. 437 438

He values the master-disciple bond and repeatedly assists disciples such as Old Man Xiao, Xiao Yifeng, and Jing Lu. However, he becomes possessive when his personal desires conflict with their autonomy, particularly regarding Tantai Yaoyue and Mu Nanzhi. 406 497 534 598

His public reputation deteriorates after a private video spreads online. The humiliation leaves him defensive and increasingly bitter, while his later recovery as a Land Immortal fuels an obsession with revenge against Wang Haoran. 475 593

Story Role / Major Arcs

Descent to Qingling

Pursuit of Tantai Yaoyue

Public Humiliation

Wang Haoran plays a private video exposing Qin Fan’s inappropriate behavior concerning Tantai Yaoyue. The video becomes viral, earning Qin Fan the mocking nickname “Handicraft Brother” and causing Tantai Yaoyue to distance herself from him. 475 491

Chess Match Defeat
