Background / History
Journey to the Chu Yun Empire
Xiao Yi Xian befriended Xiao Huohuo in the Jia Ma Empire. After they parted in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, she traveled to the Chu Yun Empire, where an elderly couple welcomed her into their home 30 31.
An eruption of her Woeful Poison Body killed everyone in their village, including the couple. She carried their bodies up a mountain for burial, but an unknown force drew her inside. She could not remember what happened afterward 31.
Mountain Sanctuary
Long Xiao’s party discovered her unconscious in a stone chamber saturated with corrosive purple poison. Xiao Huohuo recognized her and asked Long Xiao to save her. Long Xiao burned away the poisonous gas with his Golden Dragon Heaven-Burning Flame, awakening her 30 31.
After receiving his promise to resolve her condition, she guided the group to a stone door guarded by a three-question test. Beyond the door, a golden soul attack caught her unprepared; Long Xiao blocked much of its force and carried her outside. She then alerted him that Xiao Huohuo had not escaped 31 32.
Controlling the Poison Body
After the party escaped the mountain using Long Xiao’s Space Talisman, he offered her a choice: remove the Poison Body entirely or learn to control it. He warned that removal might leave her an ordinary mortal for life. She chose control, believing its power could help her save people and atone for the deaths she had caused 35.
The treatment lasted half a day and condensed her poison into a controllable Poison Pill, advancing her to Dou Wang. Long Xiao then gave her Bodhi Saliva for further cleansing 35.
Rescue and Departure
When Hua Qingcheng captured Xiao Huohuo and Elder Hai, Xiao Yi Xian urged Long Xiao to rescue them. At the brothel, she stepped between him and Hua Qingcheng, who seized and twisted her shoulder. Long Xiao pulled her to safety and kicked Hua Qingcheng away before freeing the captives 36 37.
Near the Jia Ma Empire’s border, Xiao Yi Xian announced her intention to cultivate in seclusion in Qingshan Town, with possible travels afterward. Long Xiao gave her Soul Jade Slips before returning to the Tagor Desert; she remained watching the direction of his departure, clutching the slips 38.
Appearance
Xiao Yi Xian is described as exceptionally beautiful, with a slender waist and very fair skin 30 35.
- Before treatment: White or silver hair; purple robes when discovered in the mountain chamber 30 35.
- During the poison eruption: Pale face, dry lips, and surrounding purple mist that gives her an eerie appearance 30.
- After forming the Poison Pill: Long purple hair and white clothing, with an appearance likened to an immortal maiden 35.
Personality
Xiao Yi Xian carries intense guilt over the village’s destruction, despite the eruption being unintentional. Years of being treated as a disaster or exploited by others leave her lonely and exhausted. She admits to Long Xiao that she had wanted to end her life but believed her Poison Body prevented even that escape 31 35.
Her ambition remains to heal rather than harm. She endures the painful treatment to gain control of her body, worries persistently about her friends’ safety, and summons the courage to shield Long Xiao from Hua Qingcheng. Around Long Xiao, gratitude develops into shy romantic feelings, particularly after he protects her 35 36 37 38.
Abilities & Skills
Woeful Poison Body
An innate physique that produces deadly poison. Long Xiao regards it as a valuable Dao physique, estimating that it reaches the caliber of a king body rather than treating it solely as a calamity 30.
- Contact poisoning: Before treatment, Xiao Huohuo states that anyone touching her risks deadly poisoning 30.
- Corrosive emissions: Her purple mist corrodes clothing and forces the rescuers to use ice and golden flames for protection 30.
- Uncontrolled eruptions: One outbreak kills an entire village 31.
- Poison-based cultivation: According to Xiao Huohuo, she can advance by consuming poison 37.
Poison Pill Control
The Poison Pill gathers her poisonous energy into a core within her dantian, allowing her to control the power of her Poison Body 35.
- Formed through Long Xiao’s spiritual energy and talisman treatment 35.
- Preserves the physique rather than removing it 35.
- Long Xiao prescribes a Bodhi Saliva bath afterward to cleanse her body and marrow; completion of that step is not shown 35.

- Soul Jade Slips — Several slips given by Long Xiao at their parting. Crushing one in an emergency can summon him 38.
Relationships

- Long Xiao — Her rescuer and benefactor, who helps her control the Poison Body. She calls him “Brother Long Xiao” and develops romantic feelings for him; no formal romantic relationship is established 31 35 37 38.
- The elderly couple — Kind hosts in the Chu Yun Empire whose deaths during her poison eruption become a source of profound remorse 31.
- Elder Hai and Iron Protector — Fellow sanctuary travelers who protect her while Long Xiao returns for Xiao Huohuo and prevent her from rushing into the unstable cave 33 35.
- Hua Qingcheng — Injures her when she interferes with Hua Qingcheng’s pursuit of Long Xiao 37.
