Power Progression

Background / History

Physician of Green Mountain Town

Xiao Yi Xian dreamed of becoming an alchemist from childhood, but lacked the necessary talent and became a physician instead. She also described herself as having no talent for ordinary Dou Qi cultivation, prompting her to seek other ways to defend herself 74 86.

During her first encounter with Xiao Tianci in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he killed Mu Li and his accompanying mercenaries. Shocked by his strength, she later invited him to find her in Green Mountain Town if he needed anything 38 40.

Cave Treasure and Captivity

After Xiao Tianci left, Xiao Yi Xian discovered treasures in a cave, including the Seven-Colored Poison Manual. Mu She subsequently found the cave's remaining treasures and demanded that she surrender what she had taken. The conflict was therefore driven by both the mercenary group's revenge and its pursuit of her possessions 73 74.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion ostensibly sheltered her, but its owner, Mr. Yao, also coveted her treasure. Held under heavy guard, she delayed his demands and filled her room with a chronic poison to protect herself. Xiao Tianci returned on the day of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's ultimatum and found her preparing medicinal powder 72 73 74.

When Mr. Yao tried to detain them, Xiao Yi Xian revealed that she had poisoned him. Xiao Tianci killed his guards, and she departed without giving Mr. Yao the antidote, explaining that his decision to attack had exhausted her remaining goodwill 75 76.

Destruction of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group

Xiao Yi Xian accompanied Xiao Tianci against the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, supplying poison and an antidote. After Mu She's initial defeat, she entered the treasury and selected medicinal materials with Xiao Tianci's permission 77 79 80.

Mu She used a poison trap as a distraction and seized her with a sword at her neck. Xiao Tianci took control of the weapon through his Sword Control Technique and killed him. With the compound destroyed and her immediate enemies removed, Xiao Yi Xian chose to leave Green Mountain Town 80 81.

Seclusion and Separation

She guided Xiao Tianci to a concealed, herb-rich valley previously discovered by her Blue Eagle. They stayed in its furnished thatched hut, studying the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, gathering herbs, and sharing meals. She invited him to travel the continent with her, but he declined because his conflict with the Soul Hall could endanger her 82 83.

Their peaceful stay was interrupted when Xiao Tianci found her unconscious after consuming poison. Recognizing the Woe Poison Body, he remained beside her until she recovered and reassured her when she feared abandonment 87 88.

Before their separation, she planned to visit the Chu Yun Empire and then travel the continent. She gave Xiao Tianci Soul-Falling Powder, while he gave her medicinal pills and a Storage Ring. They parted on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with Xiao Tianci promising to resolve her constitution's crisis when they next met 89 90.

Appearance

• Hair: Dark hair, which she brushes away from her forehead during conversation 74 83.
• Clothing: Wears a white gown during her confinement at the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion 73.
• Build: Described with a slender waist and slender arms 76 89 90.
• Woe Poison Body signs: The constitution is identified by a seven-colored thread on the lower abdomen. During her poison-induced unconsciousness, her face develops a seven-colored hue 87 88.

Personality

Xiao Yi Xian is guarded toward outsiders but gentle with people who earn her trust. Xiao Tianci's rescues, sincerity, and willingness to eat her food without suspicion gradually allow her to lower that guard. In the valley, she becomes comfortable asking him for help with her studies and inviting him to share her future travels 83.

Her gentleness does not prevent decisive retaliation. She poisons her room while confined, offers to help deal with the mercenaries, and refuses Mr. Yao an antidote after he attempts to capture her. She even proposes using the Wolf Head Mercenary Group as experimental subjects for her poison studies 74 75 76.

The prospect of becoming a feared poison master troubles her deeply. She envies alchemists, fears losing anyone with whom she can speak openly, and grows reluctant to separate from Xiao Tianci after he accepts her dangerous constitution 84 86 88 89.

Abilities & Skills

Woe Poison Body

A rare constitution that allows Xiao Yi Xian to increase her strength rapidly by consuming poison 88.

• Poison immunity: Immune to toxins, although an overwhelming dose can leave her temporarily unconscious while it is digested 88.
• Toxic breath: Exhales traces of poison during the episode in the valley 88.
• Progression marker: The seven-colored abdominal thread grows as poison is consumed 88.
• Severe cost: When the thread reaches the heart, the constitution reaches its peak and brings the agony of countless poisons consuming the body. Its described ultimate outcome is death 88.
• Difficulty stopping: Once poison consumption begins, abandoning this cultivation path is described as nearly impossible 88.

Poison Formulation and Antidotes

She learns poison preparation from the Seven-Colored Poison Manual and uses it to compensate for her limited direct combat ability 74.

• Chronic room poison: Disperses poison through her room's fragrance. It can harm Dou Shi and weaker targets, but its effect on a Dou Shi is negligible 74.
• Protective antidote: Formulates a pale-red liquid that grants immunity to that room poison 74.
• Incapacitating poison: Provides poison intended to temporarily disable lower-level Dou Practitioners during the mercenary-group assault 77.
• Fatal poisoning: Leaves Mr. Yao poisoned; she states that a tier-three antidote pill or higher could still save him 76.
• Soul-Falling Powder: Develops a preparation based on the manual and gives it to Xiao Tianci. Its specific effects are not detailed in the supplied passages 89.
• Limits: Her preparations do not threaten Xiao Tianci's physique. Her handmade antidote pill is also noticeably cruder than an alchemist's refined pill 74 77.

Herb Gathering and Cooking

• Identifies and collects medicinal materials, including Streamlight Fruit, whose energy is poisonous to humans but useful to magical beasts 86.
• Maintains a secluded shelter near abundant medicinal herbs 82.
• Prepares meals during their valley stay; Xiao Tianci particularly praises her mushroom soup and cooking ability 83 84.

• Medicinal pills — Receives several bottles from Xiao Tianci before their separation 89.

Relationships

• Xiao Tianci — Rescuer, trusted companion, and developing romantic attachment. They live together in the valley, and his acceptance eases her fear of becoming isolated by the Woe Poison Body. He promises continued protection and a future solution to her condition 40 83 88 89 90.
