Background / History

Xu Qi is a transmigrator who becomes the administrator of the Misty Cloud Sect's Dou Qi Pavilion. He awakens the Talent Trait System, which allows him to inspect others' Talent Traits and convert one suitable Talent each day. He uses his pavilion post to observe sect disciples without exposing the system. 1 2

His early growth centers on acquiring and upgrading Talents. After replacing his initial God's Eye with Wind God's Favor, he learns Whirlwind Palm in half an hour and begins focusing on Wind- and Earth-element techniques. He later obtains blue-grade Talents, dismantles unwanted ones for Experience Orbs, and upgrades key traits to purple grade. 2 3 4

While searching the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Xu Qi finds the injured Yun Yun before Xiao Yan can reach her. He hides with her, helps her recover from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's seal, infiltrates the Lion King's cave for the Purple Spirit Crystal, and helps her escape. 18 19 24

His status changes sharply after Yun Shan appoints him Vice Sect Master. Xu Qi establishes his authority by revealing his Dou Wang cultivation to the sect elders, personally guiding disciples, and later eliminating Xiao Yan during the Three-Year Agreement. 54 55 69

Appearance

Xu Qi is described as a young, refined, and notably handsome man. His calm expression gives others a sense of security, while his growing affinity, attractiveness, and prestige enhance the favorable impressions of people who already view him positively. 4 94

• Sword-like brows and starry eyes. 94
• Dignified, handsome bearing. 94
• Usually maintains a composed expression even during dangerous confrontations. 81 110
• His increasing personal charm noticeably affects Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's perceptions of him. 4

Personality

Xu Qi is ambitious, calculating, and intensely focused on self-improvement. From the moment he acquires the Talent Trait System, he plans his conversions carefully because he receives only one opportunity per day. He prefers versatile abilities, studies a broad range of Dou Techniques, and uses his knowledge of future events to seize opportunities before others can. 2 3 4 18

He is confident in confrontations and frequently provokes opponents who underestimate him. He remains calm when threatened by Medusa, Law Protector Wu, Gu Xun'er, and Thunder Venerable, relying on his superior preparation and concealed abilities. 59 81 86 109

Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Xu Qi is protective of those he considers his own. He risks entering the Monster Beast Mountain Range to save Yun Yun, rescues Xiao Yi Xian from confinement, returns to save Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian from the Wind Thunder North Pavilion, and assists Zi Yan during her crisis with the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. 18 25 104 129

His confidence can become domineering. He kills Xiao Yan after the Three-Year Agreement, pressures major clans into submission, monopolizes the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool, and destroys Hun Miesheng's forces after absorbing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. 69 107 134 136

Abilities & Skills

Talent Trait System

Xu Qi's defining ability is the Talent Trait System, which identifies the traits of people he observes and allows him to convert one Talent Trait per day. Unwanted traits can be dismantled into Experience Orbs; two orbs of the same grade can upgrade a Talent Trait. 1 2 3

• Uses the system discreetly while managing the Dou Qi Pavilion. 2
• Prioritizes high-grade and broadly useful Talents because daily conversions are limited. 2 3
• Can enhance existing traits through accumulated Experience Orbs. 3 4

Dou Technique Mastery

• Three Thousand Burning Flame — Subdued after the Pill Gathering. 123
• Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame — Absorbed alone, triggering his rise first to five-star Dou Sheng and then peak Dou Sheng. 132 134

Alchemy

Xu Qi becomes a First-Rank Alchemist immediately after acquiring Heart Towards Alchemy. His extraordinary comprehension lets him accumulate alchemical experience dozens or hundreds of times faster than ordinary alchemists, eventually reaching Eighth-grade Alchemist. 12 111

• Refines high-grade pills as a benefit offered by Myriad Spirits Pavilion. 111
• Treats poisons and injuries with Heavenly Flames and Dou Qi control. 65 118

• Purple Crystal Card — A card containing three to four million gold coins, given to him by Yun Yun for the auction. 47
