Overview
A Tianxuan Sect member, Daoist Bi Di occupies a secluded corner of Myst's Tavern in Pangzhen.
Master Bi Yuan leads the same sect as Bi Di, who addresses him as Senior Brother. Over drinks he talks of fish in cryptic puzzles, and he calls himself a penniless Daoist who is relaxed about scripture.
Bi Di appears in the side tale The Sword and the Way. After Soul lugs the Tianxuan Bronze Sword into town, the Daoist advises on what comes next, and he closes out the tale by pressing a scroll into Soul's hands.

Role in the Story
A Sword Awaiting Tempering
The Tianxuan Bronze Sword, left behind by Bi Yuan, is delivered to Bi Di by Soul. He labels it an aged relic carrying bad omens, yet remarks that Soul's Chi differs from other people's, and that wielded by Soul the sword could convert disaster into power that keeps evil away.
Bi Di directs Soul to a derelict smithy in Pangzhen's backstreets to collect Bronze Essence, the material that tempers the blade's soul. After the task is complete he expresses thanks and gives Soul a scroll he received long ago from Master Bi Hai, so that the master's own bequeathed relic can undergo tempering too.
Word About His Elder Brother
How Bi Yuan met his end is already known to Bi Di. Soul was present in the Village of Lu while Bi Yuan and two other masters resisted a dark art with their minds until the very end, and Soul watched over them as they passed. Listening to Soul's account, Bi Di answers that life and death are set by fate like night after day, and that his elder brother kept to the Mandate and died with no regrets.
