Background

Lin Qingfeng is a player of Jintian who belongs to the player-founded Gui Xi Sect. Before Su Ling'er's arrival, the sect had only players and system-issued, largely emotionless Qian Buyu NPCs; Lin regarded her as its first genuine intelligent native disciple and a major opportunity for sect advancement. 2

He accepted The Guide, a quest requiring him to receive and familiarize Su Ling'er with the sect. He approached the assignment as both recruitment and performance, intending to make Gui Xi Sect appear impressive enough that its new disciple would willingly remain. Su Ling'er's registration completed the quest and granted him contribution, reputation, and cultivation rewards. 2 8

Appearance

Lin Qingfeng is a tall cultivator usually dressed in flowing black robes, cultivating a composed and otherworldly senior-brother image. 30 34

• Tall frame. 30
• Black robes that he deliberately uses to project an immortal-like bearing. 34 45
• Resides in the well-appointed Qingfeng Xulai Residence, which includes a spiritual spring and cold jade bed. 9 45

Personality

Lin Qingfeng is highly theatrical, self-assured, and eager to appear like an enlightened cultivator. He borrows grandiose lines from player forums, delivers them as cultivation teachings, and repeatedly adopts poses meant to reinforce his senior-brother authority. 3 4 31

His concern for Su Ling'er is genuine in a limited, game-oriented sense: he protects the sect's only intelligent native NPC, monitors her task progress, and wants her to integrate into Gui Xi Sect. However, he routinely mistakes fear, exhaustion, and anger for admiration or gratitude. 4 38 45

He is also calculating and coercive when pursuing sect goals. Convinced that Su Ling'er's exceptional Dao heart makes her ideal for the Sword Refining Art, he repeatedly pressures her toward it, stages emotional appeals around Junior Brother Zhan's death, and views her labor primarily as necessary NPC contribution toward sect promotion. 29 32 33

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship and Sword Control

Lin Qingfeng is an accomplished sword cultivator capable of neutralizing attacks and killing powerful foes with little visible effort.

• Dissipated incoming sword energy and flames with a finger gesture before they could harm Su Ling'er. 4
• Instantly slew the Giant Rock Scorpion during Su Ling'er's Monster Locking Tower trial. 25
• Recalled his flying sword into his palm after the battle. 25
• Used his sword Wait to exploit Junior Brother Zhan's hesitation and kill him. 31

Suppression Techniques

Lin Qingfeng can project overwhelming force without apparent hand seals or visible Spiritual Power fluctuations.

• Immobilized two fighting disciples with an invisible aura, reducing their health bars to zero and forcing them out in white lights. 4
• Made an old Daoist vanish into a point of light from a distance after identifying him as a supposed spy. 6

Sect Guidance and Quest Management

Lin Qingfeng is deeply familiar with Gui Xi Sect's player systems, facilities, and quest structure.

• Completed The Guide by escorting Su Ling'er through registration and beginning her sect orientation. 8
• Reported Yan Buyu's actions to the sect channel after Elder Qian's bug endangered Su Ling'er and disrupted cultivation-technique functions. 8
• Closely tracks NPC sect contribution and organizes Su Ling'er's labor around the requirements of the sect-promotion quest. 33 45

Equipment

• Wait — Lin Qingfeng's named sword, used to deceive and kill Junior Brother Zhan when the command “Wait” caused him to hesitate. 31
• Flying sword — A sword he can summon and recall, though it was temporarily unavailable while undergoing secondary forging during Elder Qian's rampage. 7 25

Relationships

• Su Ling'er — His junior disciple sister and Gui Xi Sect's first intelligent native NPC. He acts as her guide and protector while continually attempting to steer her into cultivating the Sword Refining Art. 2 21 32
• Ji — A fellow Gui Xi Sect player whom Lin hires as a paid distraction during Elder Qian's auto-attack bug. 7
• Yan Buyu — A sect disciple whose theft of Elder Qian's socks causes a major bug; Lin publicly reports and denounces him on the sect channel. 7 8
• Qian Buyu — A system-issued NPC who fills numerous sect positions. Lin relies on him for registration, technique distribution, and sect services. 2 8 21
• Junior Brother Zhan — A disciple Lin privately contacted to prepare a performance at the Sword Mound. Lin killed him with Wait after Zhan attacked, then invoked his death to pressure Su Ling'er. 29 31 32

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment of Su Ling'er

Lin receives the sect's first native-recruitment quest and eagerly brings Su Ling'er into Gui Xi Sect. During her introduction, he attempts to explain away the sect's chaotic player behavior as profound cultivation practice while ensuring she is not accidentally harmed. 2 4 8

Sect Orientation

He escorts Su Ling'er through the Food Pavilion, Pill Cauldron Pavilion, Artifact Refining Pavilion, Hundred Herbs Valley, Spirit Beast Garden, and other sect facilities. His explanations frame dangerous or absurd player activity as spiritual insight, while Su Ling'er interprets them as evidence of a demonic sect. 9 10 12 16 20

Sword Refining Art Campaign

After recognizing Su Ling'er's willpower and Dao heart, Lin becomes determined to make her cultivate the Sword Refining Art. He presents it as a path for mediocre talents to defy fate and imagines Gui Xi Sect disciples becoming autonomous “human swords” for coordinated combat. 15 16 28 29

At the Sword Mound, he guides Su Ling'er through the sect's sword inheritance and experiences a sudden cultivation increase. Junior Brother Zhan's attack and death become another opportunity for Lin to argue that she needs the Sword Refining Art to survive. 30 31 32

Sect Promotion Labor

Once the sect-promotion preliminary quest activates, Lin focuses on raising Su Ling'er's contribution total. He recasts sweeping leaves and carrying water as foundational Dao practice, arranges an overly elaborate cheering squad, and monitors her increasingly efficient work after she learns Star Treading Steps. 33 36 38 45

Notable Quotes

“The path they walk is not necessarily your path. Your Dao must be walked by you alone.” 26

“Only by not letting a single drop leak can rivers and seas be formed; only by consolidating fortune can one establish a sect.” 3

Trivia

• Lin deliberately studies “pretentious quotes” from player forums to sound more like an enlightened senior cultivator. 4
• His sword's name, Wait, functions as a practical deception: Junior Brother Zhan hesitated at the command and was killed before he could react. 31
• He frequently interprets Su Ling'er's visible distress as proof that his guidance has moved or inspired her. 6 38
