Background / History

Zhao Qian is the daughter of Zhao Xi and sister of Zhao He. Her family dispatched the siblings to invite Zhou Xian during the Zhao Family's supernatural crisis. At the time, she possessed incomplete Yin-Yang sight—able to perceive hazy Yin energy but not tangible ghosts—and relied on calculations and a Feng Shui compass to investigate the danger. 10 16 23

During the haunting surrounding Old Man Zhao, she assisted Xia Yitian and his allies despite her inexperience. She escaped Yin Soldiers, temporarily losing her Feng Shui compass, summoned Huo Dadong's soul alongside Zhao He, and removed Yu Xiao Xue's curse with a paper talisman. 14 16 22

She later became a Taiqing Sect disciple and studied under three masters. Her Second Master, He Yuanxiang, was known for Daoist pill arts, while her Third Master, Zhao Liuqing, specialized in ritual tools. Zhao Qian developed from a cautious junior cultivator into a capable talisman-and-sword practitioner, defeating a higher-level opponent through preparation and formations during a cultivation competition. 267 268 640 852

After returning from Taiqing Sect, Zhao Qian received the sword Hong Yan from Xia Yitian. The weapon complemented her dual paths as a talisman cultivator and sword cultivator, substantially increasing her combat potential. 501

Appearance

Zhao Qian's appearance changes with her cultivation, duties, and disguises. She is most often associated with Daoist robes, a sword, and a Feng Shui compass.

• Long hair described as cascading “like a waterfall.” 501
• Wore a green Daoist robe and carried a sword wrapped in blue cloth when returning from Taiqing Sect. 501
• Later appeared in white robes after becoming an Immortal. 2000
• Has used a purple robe and mask while concealing her identity. 8647
• Has also appeared in gold-and-silver attire during later conflicts. 8718

Personality

In her early years, Zhao Qian was frightened by direct encounters with ghosts but remained willing to act when her family and friends were endangered. Her practical caution showed in her use of divination, talismans, and prepared formations rather than reckless confrontation. 37 267

As her strength grew, she became composed, persuasive, and notably principled. During the Nine Provinces War, she persuaded cultivators to abandon Zhou Feng by promising not to discriminate against them for their past affiliations. She also delayed achieving Dao in Divine Will Heaven until she had Xue Qingcheng's approval, reflecting her emphasis on order and mutual respect. 1557 6508

Around Xia Yitian, Zhao Qian retains a playful and affectionate side, frequently teasing him while also offering practical advice and support. Toward others, she can be calculating, decisive, and intimidating, particularly after absorbing the experiences of Earth Dao Heaven's many divine senses. 3761 8717 8718

Taiqing Sect Cultivation

After joining Taiqing Sect, Zhao Qian trains under multiple masters and matures into a recognized disciple.

Qinghai Disappearance

Zhao Qian disappears after sending an email that implies a life-threatening situation. Her phone and belongings are traced to Golmud and the Kunlun Mountains, where Xiyuan Temple monks reveal they had been pursuing her in an attempt to convert her. 1041 1043 1044

Nine Provinces War

By the war against Zhou Feng, Zhao Qian is a high-level Tenth Layer Immortal with realm power. She rallies defecting cultivators through diplomacy, leads guardians against Zhou Feng's forces, and confronts the Heavenly Ghost Path's summoned entities. 1557

Divine Will Heaven

Zhao Qian achieves Dao in Divine Will Heaven amid the Ju Fang Clan's counterattack. Although she gains control of Innate Corrupting Qi, the failure to control Dao Extreme power leaves the exact nature of her attainment unresolved. 6508
