Qing Yao

Biodata

Background / History

Seclusion and Accepting Lin Fan

Qing Yao is a disciple of the Heaven Mending Sect Master and the sect’s Previous Generation Saintess. Before meeting Lin Fan, she had ignored worldly affairs for over a hundred thousand years, including the sect’s major business. She reluctantly accepted Yue Chan under sect rules but left most of her daily instruction to other elders 21 22.

When the sect master intended to teach Lin Fan personally, Qing Yao unexpectedly volunteered to guide him. Lin Fan chose her, and she brought him into her secluded small world. She questioned his surname, parents, and supposed arrival through a teleportation formation, prompting him to admit that he had actually been thrown out. She nevertheless assured him that he could eventually leave the Heaven Mending Sect if he wished 21 22.

Teaching in the Purple Bamboo Forest

Qing Yao kept Lin Fan within her sanctuary until the Spirit Transformation Realm out of concern for his safety, rather than as house arrest. She taught him the Heaven Mending Art, provided cultivation resources, and guarded his breakthrough into the Cave Heaven Realm. When he opened three Heavenly Passages in succession, she stopped him from advancing further before stabilizing his foundation 23 24 25.

She secretly observed his first battle with Yue Chan, allowing it to continue both to give him company and to assess their abilities. After intervening, she sent Yue Chan away and restored the damaged sanctuary. Although impressed by Lin Fan’s composure and combat judgment, she was distressed that such a young child appeared accustomed to life-and-death struggles 30.

Phoenix Nest Expedition and Baptism

Qing Yao entered the Phoenix Nest in the Uninhabited Zone to obtain phoenix blood for Lin Fan’s baptism. Yue Chan reported that several dozen sect masters were participating in the expedition. Qing Yao returned exhausted, with blood on her dress, but successfully brought back several drops of Divine Phoenix True Blood 34 40.

Finding that Lin Fan had already opened ten Heavenly Passages, she encouraged him to seek a path beyond that conventional limit. She recalled an unnamed person whose single passage could devour things, though she did not know his method. During Lin Fan’s baptism, she repeatedly replenished the medicinal cauldron as he opened passages within his flesh and divine soul, then unified all twelve into his life-and-death heavenly passage 40 41 42.

Lin Fan’s Departure

After three years in her sanctuary, Lin Fan reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and requested permission to explore the Lower Realm. Qing Yao agreed, supplied him with life-preserving treasures, and entrusted him with two drops of Divine Phoenix True Blood for Yue Chan—one for each of her bodies 43.

Appearance

• Build and features: A mature beauty with a slender figure, striking curves, and a dignified face 21 30.
• Hair and eyes: Lustrous black hair and clear, star-like eyes 22 31.
• Complexion: Luminous, jade-white skin 22 31.
• Clothing: Wears a snowy-white dress when receiving Lin Fan and a pale-blue dress when intervening in his fight with Yue Chan 22 30.
• Voice and bearing: Her voice is described as cold, ethereal, and musical; her presence resembles an immortal maiden detached from mortal life 22 31.

Personality

Qing Yao is ordinarily aloof and withdrawn, acting according to her own wishes rather than sect expectations. Her treatment of Lin Fan reveals a gentler side: she grants him extensive access to her resources, welcomes cultivation questions, and worries about both his safety and the hardships behind his unusual maturity 21 22 30.

Her attitude toward Yue Chan is markedly colder. Asked why she dislikes her disciple, Qing Yao answers that Yue Chan is too much like herself. Despite that distance, she later provides precious phoenix blood for both of Yue Chan’s bodies 31 43.

Qing Yao once believed that discarding unnecessary emotions would help her reach the summit of cultivation. Watching Lin Fan risk his life makes her reconsider that belief and regret what she has missed. Her remark that both an unnamed man and “his son” are reckless cultivators suggests familiarity with Lin Fan’s father, but the supplied passages do not identify him 41.

Abilities & Skills

Heaven Mending Art

Qing Yao has comprehended the sect’s cornerstone art to an exceptionally high level 30.

• Reverses the physical state of damaged surroundings by approximately two hours, restoring cracked earth, destroyed bamboo, and Lin Fan’s shattered stone platform 30.
• The demonstrated reversal does not restore depleted inner essence, energy, or spirit 30.
• Teaches the technique to Lin Fan without hesitation 23.

Cultivation Instruction

Her teaching emphasizes a stable foundation while allowing a disciple to explore an individual path.

• Recognizes Lin Fan’s Blood Moving Extreme Realm and accommodates his attempt to surpass it 22.
• Prevents further consecutive breakthroughs when his new realm needs consolidation 24.
• Uses practical combat to evaluate skill, mentality, and understanding of one’s abilities 30.
• Supports Lin Fan’s unprecedented heavenly-passage experiments despite fearing for his life 41 42.

Baptism and Medicinal Refinement

Qing Yao prepares and maintains an exceptionally resource-intensive baptism 40 42.

• Combines at least ten varieties of Saint Medicine, over a hundred precious medicines, Divine Medicine sap, and Divine Phoenix True Blood 40.
• Suppresses and refines the phoenix blood’s destructive fluctuations until they become gentle enough for use 40.
• Replenishes medicines and divine water throughout Lin Fan’s dangerous transformations 41 42.

Residence & Resources

• Secluded small world: Contains an azure spiritual lake, purple spiritual bamboo, and simple bamboo dwellings. Its cultivation environment ranks below only the sect master’s main peak within the Heaven Mending Sect 22 43.
• Training space: Offers to expand the small world to give Lin Fan a dedicated area for physical training 22.
• Medicinal plants and spirit creatures: Allows Lin Fan unrestricted use of her precious plants and permission to eat the creatures she raises 22.
• Golden Cauldron: Used for Lin Fan’s baptism and heavenly-passage unification 40 42.
• Bone Scriptures: Supplies texts for Lin Fan to study while seeking a method beyond ten Heavenly Passages 40.

Relationships

• Lin Fan — Disciple. Her exceptional favor initially makes him suspicious of her motives, but her dangerous expedition and support during his baptism earn his gratitude 22 40 42.
• Yue Chan — Nominal disciple and blood descendant through her maternal line. Qing Yao’s preference for Lin Fan fuels Yue Chan’s jealousy 22 29 32.
• Heaven Mending Sect Master — Her master. He is surprised by her decision to accept Lin Fan and reminds her to give Yue Chan more guidance as well 21 22.
