Background / History
Shi Ji was originally a stubborn stone on Skeleton Mountain. After cultivating for ten thousand years, she attained the Dao and joined the Jie Sect, though she remained an overlooked outer disciple with shallow backing. She established White Bone Cave on Skeleton Mountain and endured the prejudice directed at beings born from non-human origins. 1 2 29
For thousands of years, Shi Ji unknowingly kept the sealed Qin Feng company by speaking near the ordinary stone outside her cave. Her presence prevented him from losing himself to isolation. 1 441
Taiyi Zhenren attempted to seize her cave dwelling, insulted her origins, and attacked her with the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover. Shi Ji's Tai'a Sword and Eight Trigrams Dragon Beard Scarf could not withstand the attack, leaving her injured and cornered at White Bone Cave. 1 2
Qin Feng emerged from the stone outside her cave and saved her, publicly declaring that an attack on Shi Ji was an attack on him. The rescue began Shi Ji's transformation from an isolated Jie Sect cultivator into Qin Feng's closest companion. 4 6
Appearance
Shi Ji is a peerlessly beautiful female immortal with a cool, clear bearing that can shift into a heroic and commanding presence in battle. Her phoenix eyes are repeatedly noted for their clarity and intensity. 4 10 99

Personality
Shi Ji is initially proud, stubborn, and highly sensitive to the discrimination she faces as a stone-born immortal. Even when overwhelmed by Taiyi Zhenren's pressure, she refuses to bow. Her fear of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity and her lack of support reveal a deep insecurity beneath that resolve. 1 2 29
Qin Feng's protection gradually gives Shi Ji confidence and a sense of belonging. She becomes fiercely loyal, voluntarily guarding Azure Stone Palace during his seclusion and later accepting responsibilities in the Goddess Immortal Alliance. 24 26 238
She is affectionate and possessive toward Qin Feng, particularly when Nezha and Chang'e receive his attention. However, she can regain her composure quickly, treating Chang'e with the dignity expected of Azure Stone Palace's mistress before building a cooperative relationship with her. 50 51 97 99
Shi Ji remains battle-minded and decisive when confronting threats. She eagerly accepts the role of vanguard against the demon threat and ultimately overcomes the inner fear represented by Taiyi Zhenren's illusion. 151 197

Dao Charm Synergy
After the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Scarf recognizes Qin Feng as its master, it forms a special link between Qin Feng and Shi Ji. 32 33
