Jin Xunu was a merfolk who became enlightened, born in the Nanming Reef of the South Sea. He cultivated for over five hundred years, absorbing the essence of Nanming Leaving Fire thanks to his former master's guidance. He had traveled to Purple Cloud Palace to find the True Water, and by reconciling the forces of "Kan" and "Li", he attained a balance of water and fire, thus transforming and rebirthing his body from a grotesquely deformed demon into the beautiful young man with an immortal root that he was now.
Through this experience, he had acquired Fire Eyes, which could identify treasures, and his eyesight became exceptional.
