Qi Dong

Young Shaman companionbelow the Fledgling Shaman levelShaman Tribe

Qi Dong is a reserved Shaman youth with a withered right arm who travels with Lan Lan and Ahu. A dispute over the herb he needs for treatment exposes him to humiliation by a richer rival, but his willingness to take punishment for his companions brings him to Su Ming's protection.

Biography

The Shamans and the World of Nine Yin

Qi Dong pays first for a medicinal herb in Shaman City, only for Qi Bei and a powerful woman from Eastern Goosefoot Tribe to seize it and mock his injured arm. Three Medial Shamans make resistance impossible. When the group threatens to break the children's legs, Qi Dong steps forward and offers his own legs and remaining arm in place of Lan Lan and Ahu. The offer is ignored, but it establishes his motive as protection rather than pride; he is ready to worsen his permanent injury to spare companions he claims merely happened to share his road. (Chapters 426–427)

Su Ming intervenes before the punishment lands and defeats the adults. Qi Dong, normally aloof and unable to express his gratitude easily, hurries to Su Ming, kneels, and kowtows repeatedly. Watching Su Ming's later battle with a Latter Shaman leaves him shocked and excited for a long time. He remains with Nan Gong Hen's group and, on the day of the Shaman treasure-gambling event, emerges with Lan Lan and Ahu to greet their seniors respectfully. (Chapters 427–444)

Appearance and personality

Qi Dong is a boy with a visibly withered right arm. He is aloof and quiet, lowering his head bitterly under pressure and struggling to communicate strong feeling. That reserve does not mean indifference: he offers himself up for his companions and responds to rescue with unrestrained reverence.

Abilities and cultivation

Qi Dong is explicitly not yet a Fledgling Shaman. He demonstrates no named Art, spell, or combat technique, and the pressure of a Medial Shaman is enough to render him and his companions unable to escape. His withered right arm is an additional physical limitation and motivates the search for medicine. His endurance, loyalty, and willingness to sacrifice are personal qualities rather than evidence of supernatural strength. (Chapters 426–427)

Relationships

  • Lan Lan and Ahu: Qi Dong travels with them and offers to receive all punishment in their place. They remain together afterward in Nan Gong Hen's party. (Chapters 426–444)
  • Su Ming: Su Ming saves the three youths from Eastern Goosefoot's enforcers. Qi Dong responds with gratitude and lasting admiration. (Chapters 427–433)
  • Nan Gong Hen: Qi Dong stays among his junior companions and later greets him when the party prepares for the treasure-gambling event. (Chapter 444)

Items

  • Medicinal herb: Qi Dong pays for it to treat his withered right arm, but a rival attempts to take it. The dossier does not establish whether he ultimately receives it or whether the arm heals, so no recovery should be inferred. (Chapter 426)
