Background / History

Xu Yuanzhen is the first personal disciple of the Contemporary Celestial Master Li Qingfeng. Her seniority and renown place her alongside Li Zhengxuan as one of the two foremost young talents of the Celestial Master Mansion, where she is universally addressed as Eldest Senior Sister. Her early cultivation was reportedly less spectacular than that of other prodigies, but her momentum grew increasingly overwhelming until she surpassed peers and many senior figures alike. The source of her exceptional later development remains unknown even within the sect. 21 210

Before Lei Jun formally entered the Celestial Master Mansion, Xu Yuanzhen brought him to Dragon Tiger Mountain. She later used Dragon Horse Scale, Purple-Gold Spirit Mushroom Essence, and Heaven Abyss Pure Dew to forge his Hidden Dragon Spirit Body. 10

She became a decisive force in the mansion’s internal and external struggles. She exposed Li Ming’s misconduct, forced the Li clan to accept accountability, pursued the assailant who ambushed Li Qingfeng, defeated the Yellow Heaven Path’s Peaceful Path Taoist, and continued investigating the lost Celestial Master Sword. 27 72 109 122

Appearance

Xu Yuanzhen is petite and exceptionally beautiful, with pale, snow-like skin and a consistently cold expression. Her presence can make even a warm room feel chilled. 27 109 524

• Usually wears a purple Taoist robe. 27 535
• Has been seen with a black gauze outer garment. 27
• Her speech is crisp, rapid, and continuous, likened to rain striking a jade plate. 10 461
• Her calm bearing remains largely unchanged even amid destruction or battle. 461

Personality

Xu Yuanzhen is cool-headed, highly independent, and difficult to predict. She travels extensively, frequently leaves the mountain without warning, and pursues leads according to her own interests rather than institutional expectations. 30 241 271

Her compassion is genuine but selective: she aided Lei Jun and local civilians without seeking repayment, yet she can be ruthless when confronting corruption or enemies of the mansion. 10 27

She enjoys provoking people and disrupting stale conventions. She openly admits no interest in the Celestial Master position itself, but takes pleasure in breaking traditions and watching the consequences unfold. 46 96 109

Abilities & Skills
