Background

Fang Xi inherited the identity, memories, and meager savings of a Green Bamboo Mountain spiritual farmer after arriving from a previous life. His original holding was six fen of Jade Green Bamboo Forest, and a year of labor yielded only a few low-grade Spirit Stones after taxes. 1

He recognized that his access to resources from two worlds could offset his poor spiritual-root aptitude. Rather than expose those resources while weak, he cultivated martial arts in the Great Liang world and immortal techniques in the Southern Barrens, treating body refinement as a safeguard for his primary pursuit of immortality. 3 6 42

Appearance

Fang Xi normally presents himself as a youthful green-robed cultivator with an unusually vigorous, refined bearing. Wood-attribute techniques and longevity cultivation preserve his appearance; at his hundredth birthday, he still had black hair and no wrinkles. 105 209

• His presence has been compared to a jade tree, green pine, or jade orchid tree: serene, vibrant, and detached. 105 113 196
• His true appearance is described as jade-like, with blade-like brows and an exceptionally youthful face. 689
• He frequently alters his face, aura, cultivation display, and even apparent race when operating under an alias. 154 295 348 527

Personality

Fang Xi is methodical, patient, and intensely risk-conscious. He conceals major breakthroughs to preserve the harmless image of a low-aptitude spiritual farmer, maintains multiple identities, and prefers retreating or preparing overwhelming advantages over gambling on uncertain confrontations. 110 236 710

He is also pragmatic and unforgiving toward perceived threats. Fang Xi does not require proof before acting against people who may endanger him, routinely soul-searches enemies, converts opponents into puppets, and uses deception when it produces a safer result. 101 242 412 527

Despite this ruthlessness, he rewards capable subordinates, protects people under his authority, and avoids creating needless enemies when a direct display of status can resolve a conflict peacefully. 155 210 710

Abilities & Skills

Longevity Technique and Wood-Attribute Cultivation

Fang Xi’s core development path began with the Longevity Technique and the Yao Mo Tree. It transformed his low-grade aptitude into the Qing Mu Spirit Body, then the Yi Wood Dharma Body, and ultimately supported the Eternal Evergreen Body. 110 227 890

• The Yi Wood Dharma Body improves aptitude, lifespan, cultivation compatibility, and the likelihood of higher-realm breakthroughs. 227 229 477
• Its Yi Wood Divine Light can form weapons, lightning, shields, escape methods, healing dew, poison-neutralizing effects, and plant-nourishing power. 227
• The Eternal Evergreen Body enabled Fang Xi to absorb vast Myriad Wood Mother Qi and refine Immortal Yuan Power during his Great Ascension breakthrough. 890

Martial Arts and Body Refinement

Fang Xi cultivated martial arts alongside immortal cultivation, eventually reaching the Martial God realm. He considers this path supplementary, but its dense Qi and Blood substantially improve his survivability and ability to endure dangerous secret techniques. 42 169 199

• Mastered the Primordial Chaos Fist Technique, which accelerates Qi-and-Blood condensation and True Force breakthroughs. 57
• His Martial God physique helped him withstand the strain of the Lesser Art of Heavenly Demon Disintegration. 199
• His physical strength later became comparable to high-level body cultivators through the Yi Wood Dharma Body, Myriad Yao Armor, True Blood Pills, and Yao-race techniques. 402 646 890

Spiritual Sense and Soul Techniques

Fang Xi developed Spiritual Sense unusually early through the Qing Mu Spirit Body and later expanded it through repeated realm advances, split-soul fusion, and Nascent Soul cultivation. 110 299 398

• Uses Spiritual Sense for microscopic control, detecting hidden hostility, surveying formations, controlling puppets, and reading concealed cultivation levels. 6 42 112 299
• Can soul-search defeated enemies for memories, techniques, and intelligence. 242 412 527
• Uses the Primordial Demon Stab as a Spiritual Sense-based offensive secret technique. 299

Formations, Talismans, and Puppetry

Fang Xi is a high-level practitioner of the Hundred Arts, with particular expertise in formations, talismans, and puppets. 112 196 227

• Developed the Nine Nether Profound Wood Great Array into a quasi-third-grade forbidden formation and deployed thirty second-grade puppets within a defensive array. 210
• Later merged formations into a quasi-fifth-grade array and employed the Zhou Tian Star Array as a major strategic weapon. 528 533
• Advanced his talisman attainments to Second-grade Middle Rank and obtained multiple high-level talisman inheritances. 150 227
• Converts defeated cultivators into Wood Puppets, including Old Demon Ling, to reinforce the Heavenly Wolf Battle Array. 242

Alchemy and Spirit Planting

Fang Xi began by practicing alchemy with Spirit Rice and became known as a capable alchemist. He pairs alchemy with spirit planting to sustain his long-term cultivation. 108 154

• Refined Beast Food Pills that advanced Taisui to First-grade High-rank. 116
• Produced Chong Yuan Pills and traded them for high-level cultivation methods. 240
• Refined Vermillion Pills to improve Magical Power and studied the Crimson Heart Pill Book to advance his alchemy. 292 398
• Maintains extensive spirit fields and rare spirit herbs inside his Earth Immortal Spirit Realm. 689

Withered Glory Art and Life-and-Death Techniques

Fang Xi replaced his prior cultivation method with the top-tier Withered Glory Art after obtaining it through trade. His Yi Wood Dharma Body made the transition unusually smooth. 240 242

• Cultivated Withered Glory Profound Light to conceal his realm and support the Life and Death Seal. 242 299
• The Life and Death Seal became a Spiritual Treasure after prolonged nurturing as his Natal Magic Treasure. 400
• Brute-forced a life-draining application of Withered Glory Profound Light using his exceptional lifespan. 480
• Avoids cultivating the Supreme Big Dipper Life-Preserving Divine Light in the Earth Immortal Realm because its heaven-defying nature provokes a response from heaven and earth. 649

Multi-Path Cultivation and Incarnations

Fang Xi has cultivated and studied Immortal, Yao, Mo, Divine Path, and Earth Immortal methods, using external incarnations and his own analysis to reduce the risks of incompatible techniques. 518 646 794
