Background

Qin Yiren is a direct descendant of Tiandu Immortal City’s Qin Clan; her father is the Lord of Tiandu Immortal City. Her family’s status and wealth make her widely recognized among cultivators of eastern Cang Province. 21 39

She possesses an Extreme Yin spiritual-vein manifestation. Before entering the Dragon Ridge Immortal Treasury, she drew attention at Dragon Whisker Ravine as a candidate being considered by the Ziwei Dharma King. 5 Though Tiandu Immortal City intended to send guards with her into the treasury, Qin Yiren refused and entered with only a maidservant. 24

She purchased the Primordial Yin Treasure Jade for eight hundred spirit stones, after which unknown cultivators began pursuing her through the Immortal Treasury. The pursuit was later linked to the Blood-Listening Tower and possibly the Immortal Jade Sect. 24 64

Appearance

Qin Yiren is a delicate-featured young woman with a cold, elegant, and ethereal bearing. She is commonly seen in Tiandu Immortal City’s silver robes, though she also wears Chongxu Academy’s white Daoist robes. 21 50 119

• Black hair, at one point tied in a single ponytail with a green hairpin. 50
• Her Extreme Yin Mystic Qi manifests as bone-chilling, ink-black radiance. 26 72
• Her usual expression is cool and restrained, though she visibly flushes when caught off guard around Xu Yan. 67 119

Personality

Qin Yiren is reserved, cautious, and difficult to read on first meeting. While exploring the Divine Ruins Hall, she kept a hand on her sword case and waited for Xu Yan to enter dangerous passages before following him. 22 She also refuses to surrender what is rightfully hers merely because others threaten her, maintaining that she bought the Primordial Yin Treasure Jade with her own spirit stones. 24

Beneath her aloof demeanor, she is loyal, considerate, and generous. She rewards cultivators willing to share the danger caused by her pursuers, purchases a Dragon Breath Pill for Xu Yan, and later gives him superior-grade Spirit-Nurturing Pills to support his refinement efforts. 25 39 66 She deliberately leaves the unexplored rear hall of Li Garden Grotto-Heaven to Xu Yan rather than contest its possible treasures. 69

Story Role / Major Arcs

Dragon Ridge Immortal Treasury

Qin Yiren meets Xu Yan in Divine Ruins Hall after both are transported into the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty’s imperial palace. Initially suspicious of one another, they agree to travel together and cultivate in an ancient spirit pool after Xu Yan discovers her injuries. 21 22

After recovering and reaching the seventh level of Pulse Opening, she reveals that she is being hunted. Xu Yan remains with her despite the danger, and the pair evade Blood-Listening Tower cultivators before joining a group of rogue cultivators in Spirit-Sealing City. 23 25

She seeks a Great Teleportation Token to escape her pursuers. Alongside Xu Yan, she boards the Mystic Gate Sky Boat and ultimately escapes through a token, though the two teleport separately afterward. 26 30 32 34

Purple Star Palace

Qin Yiren does not participate in the Startling Dragon Gathering because her clan prefers that she avoid public exposure. She nevertheless watches Xu Yan’s performance and later brings him the gathering’s rules in advance. 72 78

After forming her Dao Embryo, she enters Purple Star Palace as an inner true inheritor. From there, she sends Xu Yan letters expressing happiness over his achievements and regret that the Ziwei Dharma King cannot accept him as an additional personal disciple. 83 103 104 117

Divine Land

Qin Yiren reunites with Xu Yan in Supreme Subtlety Marsh after several years apart and insists that he address her as Senior Sister because she arrived in the Divine Land before him. 119 She later returns to Purple Star Palace due to the strict obligations placed on inner-chamber true disciples. 120

By the time of the Golden Turtle Sea campaign, she is in long-term seclusion under her master’s supervision and is expected to emerge at the Immortal Aperture realm. 159
