History

Arrival in Stone Desert City

Qing Mo woke in the world of Battle Through the Heavens after being transported there and was rescued by Qing Lin, who offered him porridge despite her own poverty. Their first meeting activated his system, which rewarded him for encountering an important plot character. 1

After learning of Qing Lin's mistreatment as a human–Snake-People half-blood, Qing Mo repeatedly intervened against those who bullied or humiliated her. He reassured her after frightening her with his violence, bought her clothing and necessities, and promised that no one would harm her again. 2 4 6

Aid to the Xiao Brothers

When Qing Lin and Qing Mo returned to her former home, they found Xiao Ding hiding there with his critically injured brother Xiao Li. Qing Mo agreed to obtain a Resurrection Pill in exchange for Xiao Ding's Storage Ring, selling the ring and paying 50,000 gold coins for the rare medicine. He returned with the pill and saved Xiao Li. 6 9

His encounter with the Xiao brothers earned him the Falling Leaf Flying Daggers and Gale-Chasing Step from the system. Qing Mo later gave Xiao Ding Blood-Replenishing Pills to assist Xiao Li's recovery. 10

Desert Iron Mercenary Group

After publicly confronting Luo Yi for targeting Qing Lin, Qing Mo was recruited by Xue Lan into the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Xiao Ding and Xiao Li recognized him as their benefactor and accepted him into the organization. 14 16

Xiao Ding named him Third Commander, but the appointment was challenged by Diao Zhen, a Six-Star Dou Practitioner. Qing Mo accepted the duel and defeated Diao Zhen without allowing him to land a hit, securing the mercenaries' recognition. 17

Tagore Desert Expedition

Qing Mo brought Qing Lin to the Tagore Desert so she could acquire a wood-attributed snake-type Magic Core for her breakthrough. He fought alongside her against magical beasts, joined the campaign to retake an oasis occupied by Snake-People, and pursued the second-tier Hibiscus Snake as his primary objective. 20 25

During the expedition, Qing Mo used his flying daggers to help kill a Mujin Snake comparable to a Battle Master. Liu Shi gave him the beast's Magic Core, which Qing Mo used to guide Qing Lin through her successful advancement to Fighter. 28 29

Conflict with the Poison Dragon Mercenary Group

Qing Mo rushed to aid the Desert Iron Mercenary Group after Xue Lan escaped an ambush in the desert. The Poison Dragon Mercenary Group had abandoned the group during the Snake-People attack. 30

He later devised a plan to draw Luo Yi out through Datou and Heizi, whom he had previously forced into serving as informants. Qing Mo remained involved in the conflict until Luo Tai and Luo Yi were confirmed dead, ending Qing Lin's revenge for her mother and aiding the Xiao brothers' vendetta. 19 32 47 49

Appearance

Qing Mo is a young, neatly dressed youth whose age and appearance often cause others to underestimate his cultivation. Mercenaries and guards initially mistake him for an inexperienced child before sensing his Dou Qi. 6 21 24

• Often carries flying daggers for concealed attacks. 20 25
• Maintains a composed expression even when confronting stronger or hostile opponents. 3 17
• Uses the Gale-Chasing Step with movements described as light, effortless, and wind-like. 17

Personality

Qing Mo is protective toward Qing Lin and treats her as family. He is especially intolerant of insults, exploitation, or threats directed at her, responding directly to bullies, Luo Yi, and attempted kidnappers. 2 5 14 19

He is also pragmatic rather than indiscriminately altruistic. He agreed to obtain Xiao Li's Resurrection Pill only after securing payment, declined mercenary proposals that did not serve his goals, and prioritized obtaining magical-beast Magic Cores needed for Qing Lin's cultivation. 7 25 29

Despite his ruthless side, Qing Mo can be patient and considerate. He listened to Qing Lin's trauma without forcing her to speak, established a home for her, limited her cultivation time for her health, and personally guided her through dangerous breakthroughs. 6 11 28
