Background / History

Body Exchange and Early Cultivation

Lin Fan began as a modern Earth native who unexpectedly took control of Qi Zixiao’s body, the Saintess of Purple Mansion Holy Land. He had to preserve her detached authority while learning the Holy Land’s internal power structure, including the impending First Sequence contest and Qi Zixiao’s rivalry with the Holy Son 3.

Earth’s lack of Spiritual Energy initially rendered most cultivation methods unusable to him. He instead chose the martial-world Eight Desolations Six Directions Only I Am Supreme Skill, becoming a martial arts practitioner after three days of training 19 22 24. He used construction work as practical body tempering, progressively moving three bricks at once and later lifting ten at once; the repeated exertion accelerated his Inner Force cultivation 28 50.

Qi Zixiao later abolished his accumulated Inner Force, dismissing it as too weak. Lin Fan was furious at losing the strength he had laboriously built, further emphasizing the imbalance between their worlds and cultivation standards 36.

Emergence on Earth

Lin Fan eventually decided to prioritize Earth, treating the Cultivation World as a source of knowledge, methods, and equipment. He worked with police officer Wu Guodong to locate criminals and smugglers, using his ability to sense people and danger while concealing the full extent of his strength 52 175 218.

He used True Essence to save his tutor Old Chen from an acute myocardial infarction, restoring his health and making him appear years younger 150. He later gave Great Strength Pills to Zhou Xiaoran’s terminally ill parents, curing them and securing Zhou Xiaoran’s trust and assistance 315 318.

When several massive meteorites threatened C City, Lin Fan publicly revealed his power. He flew on a Flying Sword, destroyed two meteorites with ancient bronze weapons, then used Purple Qi Comes From The East and the Golden Light Spell to stop the final meteor and eliminate its debris 329 330. The event made him an internationally recognized cultivator and changed the government’s approach toward cooperation with him 330 333.

Immortal Teacher and Guardian

As Earth’s Spiritual Qi Revival accelerated, Lin Fan became Principal of Purple Bamboo Academy and trained a new generation of cultivators 658 759. The Resident Happiness Living Department publicly recognized him as the “Immortal Teacher,” crediting him with leading Earth back onto the path of cultivation 838.

Lin Fan investigated ancient Earth’s connection to Kunlun, the First Emperor, the Netherworld, and the Foundations of Heavenly Dao. He repeatedly risked himself to secure Foundations, resonate with Earth’s Heavenly Dao, and strengthen the Human Realm against external threats 412 829 850.

Appearance

In his original Earth body, Lin Fan is a slender young man whose appearance contrasts sharply with his abnormal physical strength. He was identified as a twenty-five-year-old graduate student during investigations into his background 50 692.

• When controlling Qi Zixiao’s body, he appears as Purple Mansion’s female Saintess and must maintain her mannerisms and public identity 3.
• He has repeatedly been embarrassed by Qi Zixiao’s choices for his Earth body, including finding himself dressed in women’s clothing 66.
• His calm appearance often causes others to underestimate him before witnessing his physical or cultivation abilities 218 321.

Personality

Lin Fan is adaptable and intensely practical. Faced with the incompatibility between Earth and cultivation methods, he searched for workable alternatives; when he needed money and training, he turned construction work into body tempering rather than waiting for ideal conditions 19 28.

He frequently applies modern Earth concepts to cultivation, treating True Essence like a power supply and developing “wireless charging,” power banks, communication devices, and formation-based infrastructure 93 152 168. He is also cautious about direct confrontation, preferring to solve an opponent’s advantages—such as the Holy Son’s speed—rather than relying on reckless combat 93 152.

Despite his fondness for showing off, Lin Fan consistently protects others when the stakes are serious. He saved Old Chen, cured Zhou Xiaoran’s parents, fought criminals alongside Wu Guodong, and risked his life against the C City meteorites 150 218 315 329.
