Background / History

Liu Qi was a rogue cultivator and the grandfather of Liu Ying. When Liu Ying's Illusory Spirit Body endangered her life, he sought Ren Xiaoyao's Golden Body Blood Transformation Pill. Desperate to save her, he considered taking the pill by force before Ye Xuan stabilized her with the Nine Spirits Sword Tablet and masterless spiritual energy. 110

Liu Ying later became a weak, transparent soul. Ye Yu preserved her soul with green light, giving Liu Qi hope and prompting him to vow revenge against Great Yan and the Nine Spirits Sword Sect. 112 Liu Qi subsequently became a close follower of Ye Yu, though his concern for Liu Ying's divine soul initially made him cautious around him. 114 117
