Background / History
Li Qinghe rescued Luo Yunji as an infant from a river and brought him to Azure Cloud Sect. Because Small Bamboo Peak did not accept male disciples, he was sent to Big Bamboo Peak, where Su Ru raised him as her own son and Tian Buyi accepted him as his youngest disciple. Small Bamboo Peak’s disciples remained deeply attached to him during his childhood. 2 996
His identity became a concern when his cultivation progressed at an impossible rate and his teeth proved capable of biting through magical treasures. Daoxuan and the other peak heads determined that he was human, though his body was abnormal. 17
During the imperial rain ceremony, the Prince privately acknowledged Luo Yunji as Liao Xing’s brother. The Prince and Princess Consort deliberately kept him outside the imperial clan register, believing palace politics would endanger both his happiness and cultivation. 173
Luo Yunji’s soul later developed and became whole, ending much of his childish manner. This change worried Tian Buyi and the others, who recognized that his former innocence had been tied to an incomplete soul. 506
Appearance
Luo Yunji was commonly described as a “little fatty” during his childhood. He later matured into a young man, though his companions continued to treat him with the familiarity reserved for Big Bamboo Peak’s youngest disciple. 199 506 1030
- Often wears Mysterious Gauze robes in battle; the material can resist ordinary blades and swords. 1046
- Wore elaborate ceremonial robes and ornaments during the imperial rain ritual, which he disliked for being too heavy. 173

Personality
Luo Yunji is lazy, impulsive, curious, and intensely food-motivated. He regularly avoids study or training, provokes powerful figures without considering consequences, and can turn a dangerous situation into a complaint about ruined ingredients. 4 42 561
As a child, he possessed a disquieting indifference toward conventional ideas of good and evil. Tian Buyi once sensed an emotionless crystalline presence behind him, suggesting the influence of the being within Yunji’s Sea of Consciousness. 30
Despite his carelessness, Luo Yunji is fiercely protective of those he considers his own. He can become ruthless toward anyone who harms his junior brothers, the people of Two Mountains, or civilians under his protection. His later actions show increasing maturity, strategic awareness, and willingness to risk his life for the human realm. 885 973 1031 1068
