Power Progression

Appearance

• Wears a white top and skirt 10.
• Has delicate, gentle features and captivating eyes; her unworldly beauty is compared to an orchid untouched by dust 10.
• Has fair skin and a voluptuous figure, which surprise Chu Yanyu, Xu Jing’er, and Ye Qingyun during her first treatment 14.

Personality

Bai Suyi is proud and initially skeptical of Ye Qingyun’s reputation. Before meeting him, she promises respect only if he proves worthy of it. Chu Yanyu privately regards her as someone who thinks too highly of herself, although Bai Suyi readily observes formal courtesy toward established seniors such as Xu Changfeng and Dongfang Su 10 11.

Her strong concern for cleanliness overrides even her desire for treatment: she refuses hot pot because everyone is eating from the same vessel. Seeing the others gain breakthroughs leaves her deeply regretful, particularly when Chu Yanyu catches up with her cultivation 12 13.

She is loyal without being uncritical. Bai Suyi prepares to defend her sect against Xiao Shi despite their cultivation gap, yet later challenges her own master’s disrespect toward Ye Qingyun. Although she considers Gongsun Yue arrogant and crude, she still respects him deeply 28 37 39.

Background / History

Childhood Injury

At six years old, Bai Suyi wandered deep into the mountains and was bitten by an unidentified creature. Cold Qi entered her bones and damaged her internal organs. Thereafter, the condition flared for two days each year as autumn turned to winter; her hands and feet also remained cold throughout the year 14 15.

Joining the Nine Spirits Sect did not resolve the injury. Gongsun Yue discovered poisonous insects inside her body but could not expel them. He believed a cure would likely require a pill refined from several heavenly treasures 12 14.

First Visit to Floating Cloud Mountain

Bai Suyi accompanied Chu Yanyu to investigate the reputed expert on Floating Cloud Mountain. Discovering that Xu Changfeng and Martial Emperor Dongfang Su had also come to pay their respects challenged her initial doubts 10 11.

The fragrance of Ye Qingyun’s hot pot eased her lingering injury, but her aversion to communal eating prevented her from tasting it. After the meal, Chu Yanyu helped her ask Ye Qingyun for medical treatment 11 12 13.

Ye Qingyun applied eight heated bamboo cups to her back. An hour later, the cups contained tiny, silvery-white insect corpses that felt as cold as ice. Bai Suyi experienced smoother Qi and blood circulation and warming extremities, though Ye Qingyun instructed her to return in half a month rather than declaring her cured 14 15.

Before leaving, she also supported Chu Yanyu’s appeal for help against the Song Clan. Ye Qingyun directed them toward Xu Changfeng and Dongfang Su, who agreed to intervene 15.

Second Treatment and Recovery

Returning at the agreed time, Bai Suyi encountered Shen Tianhua and Xiao Shi. Shen Tianhua admired her aptitude but disparaged her training under Gongsun Yue. When Xiao Shi also insulted the Nine Spirits Sect, Bai Suyi prepared to fight despite facing an opponent in the higher Origin Gathering Realm. Their confrontation ended without combat when a true dragon appeared in the storm clouds and Shen Tianhua took Xiao Shi away 28.

The second cupping session extracted fewer insects, but Bai Suyi suddenly vomited blood and lost consciousness. Her body became ice-cold, and the Cold Qi from her breathing chilled the room. Ye Qingyun used heating, hot-water bottles, and quilts to stabilize her before administering an antibiotic pill. His suspicion that the remaining insects were multiplying was a proposed explanation, not a confirmed diagnosis 28 29.

Bai Suyi regained consciousness and later reported feeling completely recovered. She declined to stay overnight because she needed to join fellow disciples investigating evil cultivators who abducted and killed children 29.

Child-Abduction Investigation

Bai Suyi entered the abductors’ valley with Gongsun Yue and other Nine Spirits Sect disciples after Ye Qingyun had subdued Old Freak Evil Heaven. She identified Ye Qingyun as the man who had healed her, but Gongsun Yue dismissed his abilities, killed the subdued enemy, and intended to claim sole credit 36 37.

Concerned by her master’s attitude, Bai Suyi revealed that Xu Changfeng and the Martial Emperor had personally paid Ye Qingyun their respects. Gongsun Yue immediately regretted his conduct; her earlier attempts to warn him through eye signals had gone misunderstood 37 38.

Reconciliation Visit

Bai Suyi reluctantly accompanied Gongsun Yue to repair his relationship with Ye Qingyun. Before arriving, she warned him not to expose Ye Qingyun’s supposed hidden identity, disturb his quiet residence, or underestimate his dog and rabbit 39.

With Ye Qingyun away, they accepted Guo Xiaoyun’s hospitality. Bai Suyi prompted her master to give the boy a greeting gift, and Guo served them tea that proved to be spiritual liquid. She could absorb only a small sip, requiring continuous circulation of her cultivation technique. Watching Guo drink two cups effortlessly briefly made her wish to become Ye Qingyun’s disciple, but she rejected the thought 39 40.

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation Aptitude

• Shen Tianhua considers her a born cultivator with excellent aptitude, only slightly below Xiao Shi’s, and briefly contemplates accepting her as a disciple 28.
• She can circulate her cultivation technique to absorb concentrated Spiritual Qi 40.
• Her tolerance has limits: drinking a full cup of spiritual liquid would risk rupturing her meridians 40.

Physical Resilience

• Her cultivated body and years of tolerance to the poisonous insects help her survive the severe cold episode long enough for Ye Qingyun to treat her 29.
• The insects and Cold Qi are an affliction, not a demonstrated combat ability 14 29.

Relationships

• Chu Yanyu — Close friend who introduces her to Ye Qingyun, advocates for her treatment, and receives Bai Suyi’s support against the Song Clan 10 13 15.
• Gongsun Yue — Master and sect leader. Bai Suyi respects him but challenges his behavior when his arrogance threatens relations with Ye Qingyun 14 37 39.
• Ye Qingyun — Healer and lifesaver whom she comes to regard as an unfathomable expert. Their private treatment sessions leave her flustered, but no romantic relationship is established; Ye Qingyun calls her a friend 28 29 37 42.
• Guo Xiaoyun — Host during her reconciliation visit. His apparent ability to drink spiritual liquid without harm inspires both astonishment and envy 39 40.
