125 Shi Sheng

Jin Xunu was originally a merfolk who had transformed into a spirit. He had once startled Tie San, the Iron Umbrella Taoist, while he was fishing for a nine-headed divine turtle in the South Sea. In a fit of anger, Tie San sealed Jin Xunu inside a jar and sank it to the ocean floor.

Afterward, the nine-headed divine turtle became wary, and despite using all his tricks, Tie San could never catch it again. He then sought revenge against Jin Xunu.

At the bottom of the sea, Jin Xunu was saved by the Great Palace Master, Chu Feng, who brought him to the palace. Together, they unlocked the Heavenly Books and Secret Manuals within the golden court and jade pillars for joint cultivation. Later, Jin Xunu harmonized the Kan and Li, passed the ultimate trial with the refinement of True Water, shed his half-human, half-demon, ghastly merfolk skin, and transformed into the incredibly handsome youth of today.
