Background / History

Xiao Yixian works at Qingshan Town's Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, where she prepares medicines and treats those who seek her help. She is widely admired by the town's residents and mercenaries, many of whom crowd outside the hall simply to see her. 34 35

Her ambition is to become an alchemist so that she can prepare more effective medicine and save more lives. However, she repeatedly failed to meet the innate requirements for alchemy without knowing why. 36

Xie Tianxiao reveals that she lacks the necessary fire attribute with a trace of wood affinity. Instead, she possesses the rare Woeful Poison Body, a constitution that drives its bearer toward poison cultivation and threatens her life if left uncontrolled. 36 37

Appearance

Xiao Yixian is a young woman with smooth, delicate skin and a fresh, ethereal temperament. Though described as not overwhelmingly beautiful, her gentle bearing and notably slender waist make her especially memorable. 35

• Usually wears a pale white dress. 35
• Has a faintly smiling, gentle expression and a soft voice. 35
• Her waist is bound with a green sash and is described as exceptionally slender. 35
• Keeps a small seven-colored line hidden on her lower abdomen, a mark of the Woeful Poison Body. 36

Personality

Xiao Yixian is compassionate and idealistic. Her wish to become an alchemist comes from wanting to make stronger medicine, treat more illnesses, and save more people. The revelation that her body could instead become a source of mass death devastates her. 36 37

She is also wary, independent, and unwilling to be controlled. During her first meeting with Xie Tianxiao, she immediately becomes suspicious of his overly familiar praise and warns him not to treat her like someone he can manipulate. 35 Even after he offers to help suppress her poison body, she initially rejects both his recruitment offer and the idea of owing him a debt. 37 38

Despite her stubbornness, Xiao Yixian is practical enough to seriously consider Xie Tianxiao's proposal once she understands the danger of her condition. She remains concerned for his safety when he claims he will obtain the materials needed for her treatment. 38

Abilities & Skills

Revelation of the Woeful Poison Body

Xie Tianxiao tells Xiao Yixian why she cannot become an alchemist, then reveals that her unusual physical symptoms are signs of the Woeful Poison Body. The discovery horrifies her because it conflicts completely with her desire to heal others. 36
