Background & History

Xuan Yi was a reclusive figure even within the Pill Tower; few people knew that one of its Three Leaders was a woman. She was known as a peak Eighth-Grade Alchemist and a peak Nine-Revolution Dou Zun. 413

While searching for medicinal herbs, Xuan Yi was injured by a powerful magical beast and subsequently attacked by a Soul Hall Venerable. Her presence in the Southern Region later drew the attention of Three Venerables from Soul Hall, forcing her to flee until she encountered Xiao Tian. 414 415 420

Xiao Tian sheltered Xuan Yi and used a Rank 8 Intermediate Pill to save her. Though initially determined not to burden him, she grew close to him and to his daughters, Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng. 415 416

After Xiao Tian killed Three Venerables, Xuan Yi traveled with him toward the Dan Domain. She used a Pill Tower token to shield the Liu Family from Burning Flame Valley’s pressure, then negotiated Space Wormhole management rights for the family. 422 423 437 441

Xuan Yi eventually acknowledged her love for Xiao Tian and became part of the Sky Palace household. Her responsibilities at the Pill Tower later eased, allowing her to spend more time with him and the family. 458 479 588

Appearance

Xuan Yi is described as a graceful, voluptuous woman with a lovely face and a naturally charming bearing. She commonly conceals her identity while traveling, including using the name “Xuan Yu.” 426 459 588

• A fitted purple qipao emphasizes her graceful figure and long, fair legs. 445
• Her demeanor becomes notably brighter and more youthful after her relationship with Xiao Tian develops. 459
• She has worn a veil when discretion was necessary, allowing powerful figures to identify her only by context and bearing. 447

Personality

Xuan Yi is mature, steady, and cautious, especially regarding intimacy and trust. Past experiences left her emotionally guarded, so she initially resisted taking her relationship with Xiao Tian further despite her growing affection for him. 423 424

She is gentle and patient with Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng, readily comforting them, joining their outings, and helping resolve their quarrels. 415 430 445

Behind her composed exterior, Xuan Yi can be playful, competitive, and assertive. She retaliates when Xiao Tian deceives or teases her, becomes more willing to take initiative as their relationship develops, and can be unexpectedly fierce when protecting those she cares about. 439 450 476
