Background

Li Xingluo began as a member of a mercenary group in Green Mountain Town. After helping Xiao Yi Xian escape pursuit, he became a wanted man alongside her, but refused to abandon her or return to the group. He defeated Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, despite being only an eight-star Dou Practitioner against a two-star Dou Master. 3 11

His fortunes changed after he discovered a strange black ring. The ring transported him to a tower-like space and rewarded him with a Profound-tier high-grade Dou Technique; it continued to open new floors and provide increasingly valuable opportunities as he advanced. 2 33 100

After reaching the Holy Capital, he became involved with the Aus Auction House and Princess Luo Xin. He accepted Luo Xin's offer to serve as the Imperial Family's exclusive alchemist in return for access to palace medicinal herbs and an Imperial Token. 26 36

Personality

Li Xingluo is stubborn, self-assured, and unwilling to submit to coercion. When Yan Yun attempted to pressure him into compliance, he answered that he was “born with stubborn bones” and could not bend his knees. 29

He is observant and calculating in battle. He favors traps, poison, movement techniques, formations, clones, and psychological pressure rather than relying solely on direct force. He used a bonfire to lure senior students into an ambush, deceived factions in the ancient ruins with a clone, and trapped Old Man Mu Gu in the Fire Lotus Wheel Heaven Array. 79 252 291

Li Xingluo is fiercely protective of those he accepts as companions. He repeatedly risks himself for Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin, including using his remaining Dou Qi to shield Qing Lin during their fall from a cliff. 123 298

His mercy is selective. He rewards loyal followers generously, but treats betrayal and persistent hostility as threats to be eliminated. After taking the Yellow Spring Pavilion, he gave contributing disciples high-grade Profound-tier Dou Techniques while executing those who caused chaos or betrayed him. 26 107 274
