Background / History

In his previous life, Xia Kong was an ordinary reader who picked a tomato from his vegetable garden while reading a novel and then arrived on the Dou Qi Continent. He initially regarded the distinction between transmigration and awakening past-life memories as unimportant; later recollections describe him taking over the body of another boy also named Xia Kong 1 6.

The original Xia Kong grew up in Wutan City with a mercenary father, a Three-Star Dou Zhe, and a mother who had not reached Dou Zhe. His parents rejected an Ao Ba elder's attempt to recruit him as a live-in son-in-law. Shortly afterward, they left together and never returned. The boy subsequently exhausted himself while attempting to advance, allowing the transmigrator to take over and bind himself to the farm space 6.

Ya Fei's investigation revealed that these parents were adoptive and had been killed by the Ao Ba Family. His adoptive mother had escaped an Ao Ba-controlled brothel whose women were forcibly rendered unable to bear children. Xia Kong reconstructed that the couple had adopted him to conceal her identity while hiding in Wutan City. His biological origins remained unknown because the adoptive parents were the only known sources of that information 9 10.

Appearance

• Face: Handsome and youthful, with swordlike brows and star-bright eyes 1 15.
• Bearing: Upright and composed; described as having a back as straight as a sword's scabbard 12.
• Clothing: Uses a hooded black robe to conceal his identity during transactions; later wears plain blue-green robes 1 6 15.
• Dou Qi: Pale green, acquiring a sharper quality after he learns Azure Wood Sword Art 4.
• Flying wings: Translucent purple wings formed through Purple Cloud Wings 31.

Personality

Xia Kong combines ambition with careful preparation. He checks for pursuers, limits which crops he sells, and delays revenge until he can survive retaliation. He also recognizes the commercial risks Ya Fei takes for him and structures their purchases to protect her standing within the Mittel Family 3 4 10.

His confidence coexists with youthful awkwardness and flirtation. Ya Fei's teasing can unsettle him, but he openly admits admiring other women. With Xiao Yi Xian, his teasing and presumptuous behavior repeatedly create misunderstandings; when he recognizes her fear, he can apologize and patiently explain himself 1 13 17 19.

He expresses affection through practical support: preparing suitable meals, supplying cultivation resources, protecting companions, and accommodating their concerns. His conduct is not consistently considerate, however—he intrudes on Xiao Yi Xian's privacy and restrains or knocks out Li Fei to prevent interference with his plans 17 21 23 35.

Although he mentally prepares for his first killing, he remains unexpectedly calm afterward. He questions whether he is naturally coldhearted, then concludes that killing the pavilion's abusers gives him no reason for remorse. Ya Fei repeatedly mistakes this composure for concealed grief or distress 9 14 15.

Abilities & Skills

Space Farm

• Soul-bound realm: A portable farming space that Xia Kong can enter at will, causing him to disappear from the outside world 3 34.
• Living occupants: Other people can enter only if they completely trust him. Xiao Yi Xian initially cannot enter, but later becomes his farming partner 24 33 34.
• Farm Shop: Exchanges gold for seeds and buys back produce. Xiao Yi Xian can plant and harvest, but cannot operate its panel 34.
• Storage and shelter: Includes an inventory warehouse and a pavilion; its upgraded pavilion has a kitchen 4.
• Unknown boundary: Gray mist surrounds the usable space. Xia Kong does not understand it and warns Xiao Yi Xian never to approach it 3 34.

Farm Level	Chapter	Documented Features
LV1	4	Ten plots; potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and white radishes. Approximately half the size of LV2.
LV2	3 4	Roughly 100 square meters and twenty plots; expanded pavilion with a kitchen; rice and strawberries unlocked.
LV3	10	Nearly 200 square meters and thirty plots; cucumbers and blueberries unlocked. Level-three seeds cost 50 gold coins, mature produce sells back for 500, and normal growth takes ten days.

Spiritual Crops

Crop / Produce	Documented Effect
White radish / Spicy Jade	Accelerates Dou Qi cultivation; sold through Mittel as Spicy Jade 1 4.
Potatoes	Strengthen the body and nourish meridians. Their auctioned medicinal effects also benefit Dou Zhe and Dou Shi cultivators 2 4 10.
Cherry tomatoes	Cleanse essence and marrow and slightly improve cultivation aptitude 4.
Marrow-Washing Fruit	Given to Ya Fei specifically to improve her cultivation aptitude 8.
Rice	Supplies gentle, refinable Dou Qi through eating; concentrated higher-level rice must be portioned carefully for weaker meridians 4 23.
Strawberries	Gradually strengthen soul power 4.
Cucumbers	Detoxify the body and improve poison resistance 10 34.
Blueberries	Heal injuries and can be used internally or externally 10 34.

• Level-one produce offered Xia Kong little further benefit after his breakthrough to Dou Zhe, prompting him to grow higher-level crops for his own cultivation 4.
• He continues growing lower-level crops for profit and for companions whose foundations cannot safely handle stronger produce 11 23.
• His resistance to Xiao Yi Xian's poison depends on detoxifying cucumbers, not innate poison immunity 34.

Sacred Water

• The farm converts magic cores into sacred water, allowing Xia Kong to accelerate crop production 24 33.
• One drop advances a crop's growth by one day; 300 drops can fully ripen thirty level-three crops 24 33.

Magic Core Tier	Sacred Water Yield
Tier 1	One drop 33
Tier 2	Ten drops 33
Tier 3	Fifty drops 33

Azure Wood Sword Art

• Grade: Low Black/Xuan Tier wood-attribute cultivation method 3.
• Purifies and sharpens Xia Kong's Dou Qi, supplying offensive sword energy to compensate for wood cultivation's limited attack options 3 4.
• The method can condense Dou Qi into sharp swords and promises unity between practitioner and sword at its pinnacle; Xia Kong is not shown reaching that pinnacle 3.
• He uses Greenwood Sword Qi to finish a Tier 2 Tiger-Striped Leopard 23.

Scorching Wood Palm

• Grade: High Yellow Tier; requires both wood and fire attributes 3.
• Conceals compressed fire Dou Qi within an apparently gentle wood-attribute strike, producing an explosive impact and continued burning damage 3.
• Advances from Initial Insight to Proficiency and eventually Great Completion 5 10 33.
• Great Completion permits delayed bursts and projected palm imprints retaining force at three zhang, with power comparable to Xuan Tier techniques 5.
• Xia Kong trains potential striking points beyond his hands, including knees and elbows 5.
• Used to overwhelm Aoba Kui, cripple the Tiger-Striped Leopard, and pressure Carl despite her higher realm 14 23 41.

Wood Hardening

• Strengthens the Dou Qi gauze formed at the Dou Shi realm 3.
• Reaches Proficiency during his extended cultivation in Wutan City 10.

• At Great Completion, lets him evade Little Blue's diving attacks and wind blades with ease 33.

Blossom Sword Cluster

• Grade: High Xuan/Profound Tier sword technique 7 30.
• Advances from Initial Insight to Proficiency; Xia Kong also practices its wood-attribute sword energy while cutting construction materials 10 30 33.
• Further progress is slow because his mountain opponents rarely force him to use his strongest technique under life-threatening pressure 33.

Purple Cloud Wings

• Grade: High Xuan Tier flying Dou Technique, also called Eagle Wings 26.
• Created from the wings and soul of a Tier 5 Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle 26.
• Xia Kong crushes its remnant soul, gains a small amount of soul origin, and endures opening two new meridians in his back to form the wings 31.
• Learns flight through repeated jumps from Little Blue's back, using the eagle and farm space as safeguards 31.
• Can carry Xiao Yi Xian in flight. Townspeople mistake these wings for evidence that he is a Dou Wang, although his actual cultivation remains Dou Shi 35 40.

Soul Power

• His two lifetimes provide an unusually strong spiritual foundation, further strengthened by farm-grown strawberries 4.
• Detects hidden watchers, approaching magical beasts, and Yao Lao's distant soul probes 5 12 24 40.
• Overpowers the Purple Cloud Eagle's remnant soul without a soul cultivation method or soul Dou Technique 31.
• Yao Lao considers his wood-dominant Dou Qi poorly suited to alchemy unless supplemented by a suitable wood-based heavenly flame 40.

Cooking, Commerce, and Planning

• Prepares cultivation-enhancing meals and adjusts ingredients to a companion's physique and meridian strength 4 23.
• Counters competition from Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid by introducing potatoes with stronger medicinal effects 10.
• Proposes and helps install sleeping-smoke defenses capable of incapacitating a Da Dou Shi without killing them 40.
• Uses knowledge of the original story to anticipate Xiao Yan's recovery, seek the cave treasure, and devise possible treatments for Xiao Yi Xian 7 15 19.
• His proposed poison-body treatment combines stronger physique, soul power, cultivation, and poison resistance; complete control is not established in the supplied chapters 15 28 33.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Cave valuables — Receives the gold and silver under his agreement with Xiao Yi Xian; they also collect useful moonlight stones 26 29.

Relationships

• Ya Fei — Business partner, protector, and romantic attachment. She safeguards his supplier identity, investigates his parents, and houses him; he supports her cultivation, eventually giving her 220 saved spiritual fruits. Their reunion confirms that his affection remains despite his relationship with Xiao Yi Xian 8 9 11 13 16 40.
• Xiao Yi Xian — Traveling companion, romantic partner, and trusted farm collaborator. He seeks to help her control the Woeful Poison Body; they build a valley cottage together, and he eventually entrusts her with the farm's secret 15 28 29 33 34.
• Little Blue — Xiao Yi Xian's eagle companion and their flying mount. Xia Kong's rice helps her advance to Tier 2; he rewards her with produce and treats her as family 29 31.
• Adoptive parents — Raised the body's original owner while concealing the mother's escape from the Ao Ba Family. Their deaths motivate Xia Kong's retaliation; his birth parents remain unidentified 9 10.
• Aoba Kui — Ao Ba elder who sought him as a live-in son-in-law and managed the Spring Breeze Pavilion. Xia Kong kills him during his first lethal battle 14.
• Xiao Yan — Acquaintance and indirect commercial competitor. Xia Kong predicts his recovery, while Xiao Yan feels overshadowed by Xia Kong's cultivation and soul strength 7 10 12 40.
• Yao Lao — Observer of Xia Kong's unusual potential. Xia Kong detects his soul probes; Yao Lao praises his foundation and later his combat technique 12 40 41.
• Xiao Qin — Mittel maid whose promotion follows his profitable business. He declines her implied intimate offer rather than exploit her position 6.
• Li Fei — Xiao Yi Xian's maid. He restrains or knocks her unconscious during his visits, but later helps Xiao Yi Xian discreetly confirm that she is thriving as a physician 17 21 35.
• Mu Li — Rival who investigates Xia Kong and later places a bounty on him and Xiao Yi Xian after their departure from Qingshan Town 16 21.
