Li Ying Feng
Li Ying Feng is Wu Kong Sword Sect's capable eldest outer-sect sister, later an inner disciple, merchant, and logistics manager. Her practical care for junior disciples brings her into Zuo Mo's early life, and her knowledge of markets turns his unusual production skills into funds, materials, and reliable sect support.
Biography
Eldest Shijie of Eastern Peak
Li Ying Feng first confronts Zuo Mo after mistakenly believing he bullied Xiao Guo. Once she learns the truth, she apologizes directly and pays compensation rather than protecting her pride. Their cooperation begins with Eastern Peak's weed crisis: Li Ying Feng explains the shortage, hires Zuo Mo to apply his farming arts, and focuses on restoring ling grass before the sect's animals go hungry. Because she combines authority over the disciples with enough commercial sense to pay for specialized work, Zuo Mo's solution becomes a sustainable arrangement instead of an unpaid favor. (Chapters 10–13)
Her breakthrough to zhuji makes her an inner disciple but does not erase her responsibility toward the outer sisters. Before leaving Eastern Peak she asks Zuo Mo to watch over them, offers him cultivation funds, and designates Xiao Guo as their contact. Later Yan Le draws Li Ying Feng into sect business. She runs the Wu Kong Grocery store, sells Golden Crow Pills, organizes Zuo Mo's paid material-processing work, buys his supplies across Dong Fu, and manages logistics for the Sword Test Conference. Her contribution is not the invention of Zuo Mo's products; it is the pricing, procurement, customer flow, records, and care that let his volatile work support both himself and the sect. (Chapters 21, 80–127)
Captivity and rescue
Li Ying Feng continues supporting the sect during its expansion, bringing food and jade scrolls to Zuo Mo's seclusion before Yan Le calls her away. When Kun Lun later uses Wu Kong's disciples as expendable troops, she and Xiao Guo survive capture and pass into Princess Xia's custody. This period is not presented as a continuation of her merchant career; her cultivation is too low to resist the high-level forces around her, and her ordeal leaves her visibly shaken. (Chapters 156–167, 570–610)
Zuo Mo identifies and extracts both women in Great Peace City. Li Ying Feng initially cannot recognize him under his changed appearance, then cries when he confirms his identity. During the escape she stops speaking as soon as he warns of an enemy and later insists he attend to urgent matters rather than remain beside her. She subsequently helps carry the incapacitated Luo Li and stays near him as Life-Death Lock completes. Her last documented scenes place her alive among Zuo Mo's rescued Wu Kong companions; the corpus does not assign her a later Mo Cloud Sea office or final cultivation rank. (Chapters 610–644)
Appearance and personality
Li Ying Feng first appears with elegant brows, sharp eyes, and a handsome rather than alluring presentation. She wears tight, short-sleeved male battle robes instead of the dresses and gauze favored by many female disciples. The clothing matches her brisk authority and practical work. Later scenes focus on her expressions—worry, anger, exhaustion, and relief—without providing a substantially changed physical description. (Chapters 10–13, 610–612)
She is frank, decisive, educated, and skilled at maintaining relationships. When wrong, she apologizes and pays compensation; when responsible for juniors, she spends her own resources and plans for their care. She also has a temper and can silence a group with one command. In business she is cautious enough to fear dangerous commissions and gambling, yet willing to reopen the store or source materials when Zuo Mo has a workable plan. (Chapters 10–21, 84, 106–127)
Abilities and cultivation
Wood Spirit Sword Art and zhuji
As the most accomplished outer disciple, Li Ying Feng reaches the ninth level of lianqi and is the only disciple there shown able to use Wood Spirit Sword Art. Her sword energy is strong enough to trigger a defensive talisman during her misunderstanding with Zuo Mo, but the scene also shows a limit: she acts before confirming the facts and stops once the mistake becomes clear. She later breaks through to zhuji and enters the inner sect. The corpus does not document a named higher sword scripture or a later realm. (Chapters 10–12, 21)
Commerce, procurement, and logistics
Li Ying Feng's most sustained capability is operational rather than a battle technique. She assesses market prices, advances payment on saleable Golden Crow Pills, knows Dong Fu's shops well enough to gather large orders quickly, numbers customer queues, keeps the work area usable, and provides competitors' information and conference rules. These skills have boundaries: she can estimate and source materials but does not understand Zuo Mo's formation disks or perform his specialized processing, and professional information brokers can obtain deeper intelligence than her sect shop can. (Chapters 84, 106–120)
Her logistics are likewise grounded in access and work rather than unlimited wealth. She uses a family background described as wealthy, the sect store, Yan Le's commercial network, and an official conference assignment. High ling-grass prices still threaten Eastern Peak's budget, and a dangerous customer can overpower her despite the messenger seal in her sleeve. Her strength is recognizing constraints early and finding the person or market that can solve them. (Chapters 10–13, 84, 109–119)
Relationships
Zuo Mo
Li Ying Feng's first mistake with Zuo Mo becomes one of his most dependable early partnerships. She pays him fairly, sells his products, procures his materials, and worries when his commissions become dangerous. He in turn solves Eastern Peak's crisis, trusts her with his income and betting stake, and later risks conflict in Great Peace City to rescue her. Their relationship is repeatedly practical, but its continuity turns that practical trust into family-like loyalty. (Chapters 10–21, 84–127, 570–612)
Xiao Guo
Xiao Guo is a younger disciple Li Ying Feng protects as a sister. The initial confrontation with Zuo Mo begins because she believes Xiao Guo has been harmed, and before entering the inner sect she arranges continued support for Xiao Guo and the other Eastern Peak disciples. They remain together through captivity and rescue, with Li Ying Feng supplying the firmer voice while respecting Xiao Guo's emotional bond with their shixiong. (Chapters 10–21, 156–157, 570–612)
Luo Li and the Wu Kong disciples
Li Ying Feng supports Luo Li, Wei Sheng, and Zuo Mo as conference logistics manager, even when the sword-focused men dismiss her intelligence reports. After rescue, she carries the disabled Luo Li and remains near him through his Life-Death Lock transformation. Her care is institutional as much as personal: she repeatedly performs the unglamorous work that lets Wu Kong's more combat-oriented disciples function. (Chapters 114–127, 156–167, 627–644)
Items
| Item | Connection and disposition |
|---|---|
| Messenger seal | Li Ying Feng keeps a messenger seal in her sleeve while managing the Wu Kong store and reaches for it when three dangerous customers coerce Zuo Mo. Their superior cultivation prevents her from using it effectively. (Chapter 109) |
| Customer cards and information jade scrolls | She numbers the store queue with wooden cards and compiles conference rules and competitor information on jade scrolls. These are working records, not unique combat treasures. (Chapters 107, 119) |
| Healing lingdan | Li Ying Feng gives Zuo Mo medicine and later leaves healing lingdan after visiting him during recovery. The pills are consumable support supplies rather than a signature personal possession. (Chapters 111, 157) |
| Wood Spirit Sword Art weapon | Li Ying Feng casts sword energy during her first confrontation, but the source does not name or trace a distinct personal sword. Her documented association is with the art, not a catalogued weapon. (Chapter 10) |
