Yixuan/Lore
Last updated 2026-01-15
Official Introduction
"Once you enter these gates, leave your worldly concerns and formalities at the foot of the mountain."
Yixuan
"You want to learn how to read celestial omens and predict the weather?"
"Got it. Just take these hastily-sketched talismans and use them as you need."
"Take a picture of it and set it as your wallpaper. Then just tap the weather app — it'll tell you if tomorrow's gonna be sunny, cloudy, or rainy."
"Also, keep your network connection stable."
Grandmaster Description
In the Agent menu, in place of a brief name most Agents have, Yixuan has 
Grandmaster, which, if interacted with, gives the following passage.
Since its founding, Yunkui Summit has dedicated itself to helping others and aiding humanity.
Only those who have mastered the Way of Ether to perfection, reaching the pinnacle of their craft, can be called "Grandmasters" of Yunkui Summit.
As time passed, the sect changed, losing its former glory. Yet the 13th High Preceptor Yixuan
still walks the streets of New Eridu, solving troubles and bringing blessings to those in need.
In these peaceful days that pass one after another, people only know Yunkui Summit as a place of fortune-telling and worship, rather than a sanctuary for all.
Until the howling calamity of despair descends, and that silver-haired figure emerges again in the night...
Only then will people truly understand what it means to be a Grandmaster of Yunkui Summit.
Agent Weapon
Though there is no official information about Yixuan's Agent Weapon, it can be seen through her combat style that she attacks in tandem with the Qingming Bird, while fusing with it sometimes to attack. Therefore, it can be justified that her Agent Weapon is the Qingming Bird.
Profile
Yixuan is the eccentric thirteenth-generation master of Yunkui Summit. She is currently affiliated with the Hollow Investigative Association as a Void Hunter-level investigator and is acquainted with Mayor Mayflower. She and her disciples practice a craft similar to the abilities Phaethon gained after the Mayor's update to the Hollow Deep Dive System.[1][2]

Agent Details
Yixuan is the 13th High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit and a Void Hunter-level investigator, officially recognized by Mayor Mayflower.
She was once an orphan, wandering the world with her sister from a young age. Later, the then-High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit took them in, and they became disciples, learning the craft of Yunkui Summit. During this time, Yixuan demonstrated exceptional talent. No matter the technique, she would quickly master it, not only understanding it thoroughly but also creating her own unique techniques. The Qingming Bird was one of the special techniques she and her sister developed together, which helped her eliminate enemies and banish evil spirits in various difficult and dangerous situations. After becoming the sect's High Preceptor, she accepted an invitation from Mayor Mayflower and joined the Hollow Investigative Association as a partnered special investigator.
After becoming High Preceptor, Yixuan took in many talented disciples to continue Yunkui Summit's lineage. However, her approach is rather casual, and often, even when teaching by example, her disciples can only guess her intentions... Yet, Yixuan isn't troubled by this, as she believes there's no standard answer to the so-called "right path." What matters to her is that her disciples find their own "right path." Of course, if they can understand and learn on their own, that's even better. As their Shifu, she simply lets things unfold naturally.

When Yixuan was young, she loved eating char siu buns with her sister. but [sic] after the fall of the old capital, she lost all interest in them overnight and hasn't eaten them much since.
The disciples of Yunkui Summit are unaware of this, and just think their master is a bit picky.
Naturally, it's best to keep this a secret. Some memories and attachments should just be left to fade away with time.
Cooperation Notes
|
Belle |
|---|---|
| Shifu always seems quite laid-back, as if she doesn't have any strong attachments or opinions. Perhaps, through her travels and divinations, she's seen too many people's joys, sorrows, and struggles, and fate has taken its toll on her. | |
|
Wise |
| Since Shifu can do divinations and tell fortunes, many things must no longer surprise her. Every change can be predicted with precision. Perhaps that's why she remains so calm and indifferent, with no desires or demands. |

Divination & Blessings Ever since Master Yixuan took up residence at the video store, crowds have been flocking in to browse the videotapes. Rumor has it that a wise street sage who said to divine fortunes through hexagrams is currently visiting the store. If they could receive her guidance and have their fortunes told, their luck might just turn around. And of course... browsing the shelves while waiting in line doesn't sound like such a bad deal either. |
Hmm... There are still a few divination slots left for today. If the line gets too long... it'll be first come, first served. We'll think about the rest tomorrow. |

Trivia
- Yixuan's name, attire and characterization are a reference to Taoism, making her the equivalent of a daoshi:
- Her golden-yellow jacket is a reference to the 道教服飾 Dàojiàofúshì, the traditional Taoist ritual clothing;
- Her outfit is rich in Taoist imagery, such as trigrams, 太極圖 tàijítú, and coin charms;
- She references Feng shui and Qimen Dunjia in dialogue and uses both 符籙 fúlù, "Taoist talismans" and kung fu in combat.
- Yixuan can speak Cantonese, which in-game is Waifei Peninsula's local dialect.[3]
- Yixuan's Knock Knock profile picture is based on the thinking face emoji, with the Qingming Bird in place of the face. This emoji is notably popular in the online meme community.
Etymology
- Yixuan is a Chinese given name, and it follows the typical structure of Taoist names given to a person when ordained as a daoshi. It is made of the two characters 仪 yí, "rites" and 玄 xuán, "dark, profound, mysterious"; the latter is a very common character in Taoist names, as it is used to define the complexity of the Dao.
- The title she is addressed as, Shifu, is the Chinese term for master (Chinese: 师父 shīfu), and it is used especially as a term of respect towards monastery members.
- The first part of the name of her bird, Qingming, is composed of the two characters 青 qīng, "green, blue, or black" and 溟 míng, "sea", and has been used by poet Du Fu to describe "the green ocean" in the poem "Song for the Painted Landscape Screen of Liu Dan, Sheriff of Fengxian."
- Yixuan shares the same Chinese voice actor, Zhang Yu (张昱), with Illuga, Yohualtecuhtin, Lord of the Night, and Elemental Being: Grounded Hydroshroom in Genshin Impact.
- Yixuan shares the same Japanese voice actor, Noto Mamiko (能登 麻美子), with:
- Skirk in Genshin Impact
- Durandal and Kiana Kaslana (Original) in Honkai Impact 3rd
- Jyahnar in Houkai Gakuen 2
- Yixuan shares the same Korean voice actor, Soo-hyun (수현), with Chasca in Genshin Impact.
