    The female protagonist of this novel grew up with her uncle from the Quanzhen Sect. She cultivated many of the Quanzhen Sect's foundational internal and external alchemy techniques. Her later entanglements with the eight major sects of the Zhengyi Sect, as well as her confrontation with the Yinshan Sect, are major highlights of the novel.
