Background / History
Ji Lin first approaches Qian Lingche as part of a Pope Palace contingent ordered to await the young master’s commands. Despite Qian Lingche’s warning that following him may offer no bright future, Ji Lin pledges his loyalty alongside Lin Yuan and ten Soul Saints 6.
When Qian Lingche leaves Spirit Hall and establishes the Eternal Night Frost Song Hall, Ji Lin becomes his head steward. He oversees the hall’s construction and plans its defensive formations, cultivation resources, and relations with nearby factions. As Deputy Hall Master, he continues to carry much of its administrative work 19 20.
After reaching level 90, Ji Lin travels to sea with Guang Ling, Shi Yi, and the Snow Emperor to seek a mental-type beast suited to his martial soul. The group obtains his ninth ring from a Phantom Sea Octopus. On his return, Qian Lingche rewards him with a ten-thousand-year right arm bone—and promptly hands him a backlog of files 34 35 36.
Personality
Ji Lin is meticulous in his work and consistently respectful toward Qian Lingche. He credits the hall master’s support for his advancement, while Qian Lingche acknowledges Ji Lin’s years of service. Even when burdened with another stack of paperwork, Ji Lin accepts it with a wry complaint about his superior’s habit of slacking off 19 36.
