Background

Song Feng was raised by Daoist Master Qingmu after having once faced death on the streets. He views Qingmu's kindness as “as immense as a mountain” and remains loyal to his master despite Qingmu's later exploitation of his rewards. 9 11

As Qingmu's second disciple, Song Feng became one of Wudang's principal links to secular society. His duties include checking on Wudang disciples in the outside world, resolving matters beyond lower-ranking disciples' capacity, and maintaining connections with influential laypeople. Zhao Liya's father and Lin Qiming are among his secular friends. 7 8

Before meeting Zhang Hupan, Song Feng had spent roughly a decade stalled in the Postnatal Realm. Qingmu initially regarded Song Feng's interest in worldly affairs as wasted cultivation time, but reconsidered after realizing those skills made Song Feng uniquely suited to guide Zhang Hupan through modern society. 8 9

Qingmu brings Song Feng into the back mountain and assigns him to teach Zhang Hupan contemporary customs and etiquette. Song Feng expects instruction or treasures from the immortal cave dwellers, but instead endures Zhang Hupan's naive questions while receiving no immediate reward. 10

After Song Feng patiently explains the differences between men and women for an hour, Zhang Hupan rewards him by directly advancing his cultivation to the Innate Realm and granting him celestial pills, a celestial sword, and magical artifacts. Qingmu immediately claims Song Feng's finest pill and celestial sword under an earlier agreement. 11

Song Feng later prepares extensive lessons for Zhang Hupan, filling several notebooks. In exchange, he receives a substantial share of pills and artifacts from Zhang Hupan's Universe Ring, eventually becoming Wudang's wealthiest member apart from Zhang Hupan. 12

Appearance

Song Feng is described as slender and elegant, with a worldly, refined bearing. He is portrayed as being in his forties to fifties despite his long-standing role within Wudang. 9 12

• Slender build. 9
• Elegant and well versed in secular affairs. 9
• Regarded as an accomplished martial artist in the secular world. 8 45

Personality

Song Feng is experienced, perceptive, and comfortable navigating secular society. His ability to maintain relationships outside Wudang makes him valuable to the sect, even though it initially hinders his cultivation progress. 8 9

He is deeply respectful toward Wudang hierarchy. He addresses the younger Qing Teng as “Uncle” due to sect seniority, obeys Qingmu without hesitation, and treats Zhang Hupan with extreme reverence once he understands his identity and power. 8 9 11

His patience has limits. Teaching Zhang Hupan social etiquette frustrates him intensely, particularly when he must answer childish questions respectfully while receiving no rewards. Nevertheless, he continues preparing lessons after witnessing the benefits of serving Zhang Hupan. 10 12

Song Feng's loyalty to Zhang Hupan becomes absolute after his realm leap. When he learns that Zhang Hupan has been insulted, he supports severe retaliation against the Wang family and believes he would obey even an order to move against the entire martial arts world. 11 48

Story Role / Major Arcs

Zhang Hupan's Guide to the Modern World

Song Feng first encounters the consequences of Zhang Hupan's arrival when Zhao Liya reports being effortlessly subdued by an unknown young Daoist. Unable to match such power himself, Song Feng warns Zhao Liya and Lin Ling never to provoke him. 8

After Qingmu reveals Zhang Hupan's identity as Zhang Sanfeng's disciple, Song Feng becomes Zhang Hupan's instructor in contemporary society. His lessons provide Zhang Hupan with foundational knowledge of modern etiquette, gender relations, school life, and the secular world. 10 11 12

Realm Leap and Rewards

Song Feng's lengthy explanation to Zhang Hupan unexpectedly earns him a direct cultivation advancement from the Postnatal Realm to the Innate Realm. The breakthrough transforms his view of Zhang Hupan into boundless reverence. 11

His gains are complicated by Qingmu's seizure of his best pill and celestial sword. Song Feng later continues teaching Zhang Hupan in return for a share of celestial resources, becoming exceptionally wealthy within Wudang. 11 12

Wudang Authority in the Secular World

Song Feng arranges Zhang Hupan's university enrollment and secures his Special Department identification, intending the document as a convenience rather than an obligation to perform government work. 12 28

As one of the Wudang Three Heroes, Song Feng retains major influence over Wudang's secular affairs. When Lin Qiming calls regarding Chen Jiaying's punishment of the Wang family, Song Feng learns Zhang Hupan is involved and immediately endorses Chen Jiaying's position. 45 48
