The National Preceptor, the most revered spiritual authority of the dynasty. He is the master of Meng Wantang's fourth brother, who is described as the most obsessed with alchemy and the most arrogant among her four elder brothers. He has pale gray nearly translucent eyes, wears a moon-white robe embroidered with subtle cloud patterns, and has ink-black hair secured with a white jade hairpin. He appears tall and slender with an almost unearthly presence. Meng Wantang feels undisguised hostility toward him due to past life events.
