Background / History

Lin Yiqing originated from a side branch of the Lin Family. At twelve, he cultivated alone in the mountains, gathered spiritual herbs, and relied on alchemical knowledge from a past life to refine a Body Tempering Pill in an iron pot. He resolved not to remain mediocre despite his disadvantaged family position. 1

After leaving Qingyang Town, he developed through mercenary work, talisman-master competitions, ruin exploration, and conflicts with sects and criminal factions. His pursuit of the Devouring Ancestral Rune and other inheritances took him from Yan City and the Great Wilderness to the Great Li Dynasty, the Ancient Battlefield, the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the Demon Region. 28 41 94 118 147 272

Following the Hundred Dynasties War, Lin Yiqing entered the Nine Heavens Supreme Palace. Palace Master Liu Yueru, known as Master Tianque, accepted him as her disciple; Ling Qingzhu became his senior sister. 208 209
