Han Li grew up in Wuligou, a small town in Jingzhou under the Yue Kingdom (or Xu Kingdom in the anime). He's the fourth of his siblings and has dark skin with an unremarkable appearance. His third uncle got him into the Seven Mysteries Sect as a kid, where he caught the eye of Doctor Mo thanks to his spiritual roots and aptitude for the Everlasting Spring Technique. During training, he lucked into finding a mysterious small green bottle—a find that would shape his entire path forward.
The real turning point came when Han Li obtained an Ascension Token and used it to join Huangfeng Valley, a proper cultivation sect where he could seriously pursue the craft. What sets him apart is his personality: he's got an iron will but keeps a low profile, has zero patience for showing off, and is genuinely good at disappearing when things get dicey. His mind works carefully, he doesn't panic under pressure, and he knows exactly when to push forward and when to fold. Fans often note his ruthlessness when necessary and his ability to read a situation.
Over the course of a century of relentless training, Han Li has collected an absurd amount of treasures and built himself into a powerhouse—though if you met him on the street, you'd never guess it.
