Background / History
Tushan Jinci first encounters Guang Ling and Azure Luan after they enter Tushan’s realm while searching for Cen Yu. Treating the humans as intruders, he attacks with overwhelming firepower and nearly kills the already injured Azure Luan and Guang Ling. 38
After Cen Yu arrives, Jinci dismisses him as a mere child and continues provoking the group. Cen Yu responds by summoning the Ghost Bride, whose ghost energy had been strategically connected to Tushan’s own energy; the Ghost Bride defeats Jinci after a prolonged beating. Tushan Zhaoli intervenes, heals the injured Title Douluos, and asks the group to forgive Jinci’s impulsiveness. 39
On Zhaoli’s orders, Jinci invites Cen Yu, Guang Ling, and Azure Luan to Tushan. He explains that Tushan was devastated in an ancient catastrophe that destroyed the other three great fox clans, while the former Fox King sacrificed her life to preserve Tushan. 40
Within Tushan, Jinci reveals both his poor manners and the clan’s worsening conditions. He is reprimanded by Tushan Lingyi for rudely throwing the guests through a spatial portal, later embarrasses himself while adjusting to human form, and eagerly accepts Cen Yu’s invitation to share a chicken feast because food is scarce in the sealed clan territory. 40 42
When Cen Yu begins converting his spirit power into spiritual energy, Jinci supplies refined spiritual energy to guide the process. The conversion raises Cen Yu to level 61 and produces pressure comparable to a Title Douluo. 43
Suspecting that Cen Yu may possess Tushan blood, Jinci seeks Tushan Mingheng’s advice and performs a Bloodline Art using Cen Yu’s blood. Their blood merges, confirming an undisclosed bloodline connection and leaving Jinci deeply emotional. He subsequently helps organize the gathering of all Tushan foxes with seven or more tails for Cen Yu’s Blessing Ceremony. 44 45 46
Appearance
In his original form, Jinci is a large fire fox with seven crimson tails. He can take human form, appearing as a handsome man with flame-red hair and seven fox tails. 38 40
- Seven tails capable of becoming or directing flames. 38 39
- Flame-red hair in human form. 40
- Often takes pride in the appearance of his tails and considers himself exceptionally beautiful. 40
- Initially had difficulty maintaining a properly clothed human form after transforming. 40
Personality
Jinci is proud, confrontational, and quick to look down on humans. He initially treats Guang Ling and Azure Luan as insignificant intruders, then mocks Cen Yu for challenging him despite Cen Yu’s apparent youth. His humiliation by the Ghost Bride leaves him resentful and embarrassed. 38 39 40
He is also notably narcissistic, openly asking whether Cen Yu’s group is stunned by his beauty after assuming human form. Despite this vanity, he is obedient to Tushan Zhaoli and visibly affected by Tushan’s decline and the Fox King’s sealed condition. 40 42
Jinci’s gluttony stems partly from Tushan’s food shortage. Although he invites himself to Cen Yu’s meal, he waits for the guests to begin eating before joining them, showing that he retains some sense of etiquette beneath his rough behavior. 42
