Xu Feng

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Xu Feng chose an isolated ranger job because he valued a quiet routine after overwork killed him in his previous life. An unfamiliar game, Corpse Sewer, pulls him into the body of the young Zhao San. He is tasked with giving Zhao San the life he failed to achieve, beginning with mastery of corpse stitching and preventing his master’s death 1 2.

The game’s consequences extend beyond its apparent world. Xu Feng retains skills after exiting, brings Uncle Liu’s protective talisman back with him, and finds that days of game time can pass in roughly a minute outside. Encounters on his patrol route lead him to investigate whether the rites he learned in the game work on his own mountain 4 6 26 27.

Personality

Xu Feng is cautious without being passive. Frightened by corpses and supernatural encounters at first, he learns to act through fear, follow Zhao Er’s instructions, and reassess danger afterward. He habitually considers worst-case explanations, including the possibility that his ranger check-ins serve an undisclosed purpose 4 6 22.

He studies relentlessly and uses observation, memory, and real-world reference books to understand Zhao Er’s craft. His ambition to help his master is tempered by an awareness that he cannot yet replace him in a serious crisis 9 10 22 28.

Abilities & Skills

Corpse Stitching

• Learns the trade under Zhao Er, progressing from a first beheaded corpse to work involving multiple corpses and an ominous demon corpse 4 25 26.
• Uses the Filling and Sewing methods to restore organs and close wounds; later practices drawing trapped breath from a corpse, a technique within the Depiction Method 25 39.
• Recognizes that his training remains incomplete: corpse stitching also requires disciplines such as Inspection, Auscultation, Inquiry, and Palpation 36.

Incense Reading and Divine Rites

• Learns to identify lesser ill fortune from an incense pattern and studies omens in Zhao Er’s manual 4 12 15.
• Performs a Land Spirit invocation on his own, receiving the Land Spirit of Luoyin County’s protection 22.
• Later gains permanent Land God Protection, effective against local ghosts and lesser spirits but not ordinary attackers or sinister beings from the Yellow River 44.

Learning and Recall

• Memorizes Zhao Er’s lessons and books quickly; his panel eventually lists Broad Learning and Rapid Recall at beginner level 8 9 27.
• Uses meditative recall to reconstruct details of a dangerous corpse-stitching encounter that he missed in the moment 26 27.
• Improves his Corpse Stitching proficiency by comparing game experience with anatomy and forensic-medicine texts outside the game 28 30.

Resistance to Supernatural Threats

• Uses incense ash, his talisman, and shrine lanterns to push back a hostile force during an offering 22.
• Breaks an illusion at the Qian residence with a Sword-Finger Gesture, surging blood and vigor, and a shouted curse. The effort leaves him nearly spent 48 49.
• Receives temporary Yin Virtue Protection through good deeds. Great Fish Essence boosts his vitality but marks him for a possible encounter with the fish’s owner; Dragon-Head Miasma later suppresses his yang energy and increases his chances of encountering inhuman beings 20 36 43.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Peachwood Protective Talisman — An equippable gift from Uncle Liu that deters some inauspicious beings. Xu Feng discovers it has accompanied him out of the game 13 14 27.
• Incense ash — Carried and thrown against hostile presences; Xu Feng packs extra before the Qian household ritual 23 26 44.
• Old Executioner’s Beheading Blade — A broken, baleful blade entrusted to him by Zhao Er. It can harm lesser supernatural beings but also poses risks to its wielder 49 50.

Relationships

• Zhao San — The original life Xu Feng is sent to repair. Xu Feng acts in Zhao San’s younger body while knowing the regrets of his later life 1 2 42.
• Uncle Liu — An executioner and Zhao Er’s trusted friend. He rescues Xu Feng from the execution crowd and later gives him the protective talisman 2 13 33.
• Sun Dashi (“Uncle Sun”) — A Yellow River corpse collector who gives Xu Feng a fish basket, warns that his body is weak for his fate, and shares knowledge of the river’s dangers 33 34.
