Background / History

Hanyu is a genuine native of the Central Continent, originally from a small village in its Southern Territory. His ancestry and early life were investigated by Quan Xiaotong, who found no irregularity in his birth or upbringing. His abrupt rise as a prodigy is instead linked to the Artifact Spirit and the Glazed Bottle within his Sea of Consciousness. 727

He first emerges as a physically formidable captive of Yu Ruyi and Qi Tiangao. After escaping them, he returns to save Yixian and Coconut rather than abandoning them. 9

Rumors of his Hexi Pill make him known as the Little Alchemist. The pill can alter a male cultivator into a female and improve Spiritual Root quality, attracting sect cultivators to Yujin Prefecture and placing Hanyu in political danger. 11

A dossier later connects him to the emergence of the King Ginseng after he was captured by Luo Yuqi and taken into a mountain stream. The exact process is unknown. 156

Personality

Hanyu is impulsive, combative, and difficult to keep out of trouble. Even when he considers withdrawing from conflict, the Artifact Spirit notes that he is not a peace-loving person and has a habit of escalating situations. 177

He is also compassionate toward companions and allies. He risks himself to rescue Yixian and Coconut, worries for the Artifact Spirit when it enters the Glazed Bottle, and seeks a way to save Yixian after learning his soul still survives. 9 527 989

Despite becoming extraordinarily powerful, Hanyu is regarded as ordinary and unpretentious by Gao Feng. 424
