Xiao Lin

Xiao Lin was a member of the Xuan Ji Sect's Medicine Guild and a servant of Elder Mu.

Summary
Feng Lian Wan first encountered him when searching for the troublemaking Xi Gua. He relayed her offer to make up for the herbs Xi Gua stole to Elder Mu.

After Feng Lian Wan was assigned to maintain the Medicine Guild's fields, Xiao Lin, feeling threatened by her, tried to assign her impossible tasks, only for her to accomplish them every time.

To get back at him, Feng Lian Wan played a prank and got him drunk, causing him to revert to his animal form and revealing him as a demon cultivator.

When Sang Ran framed Feng Lian Wan for multiple murders, the sect master ordered Feng Lian Wan locked up in the Restricted Pavilion while they investigated. Those with preexisting grudges, such as Ci Ning, took advantage of the opportunity to have Feng Lian Wan tortured. When they made plans to outright kill her, Xiao Lin broke her free and offered to leave the sect with her.

On their way out, they were intercepted by Sang Ran. Sang Ran used her whip to cripple his cultivation, reducing him to nothing more than an ordinary animal. Having lost his sapience, he then flew away.

After the restriction array on the Purgatory Valley was broken, his parents were able to escape and recovered him. They then began the long task of recovering his cultivation.
