Overview

Xie Xiaorong is the healer behind the counter of Pangzhen's pharmacy.

He knows who Soul is before Soul says a word, and only afterwards offers his own name, adding that he studied under the healer Xie Huichun. In contrast with the Transcended healers outside, he still has control of his mind.

Both the secret medicine and the healing draughts that Soul carries are in his care; he can increase their potency as well as how often they can be used.

Background

Going Down the Path of Transcension After Xie Huichun

From the breathing methods of the Xie family, Xie Huichun devised a school of medicine of his own, and during the Maskwalker uprising he used up his wealth in an attempt to defeat Transcension. Once their master had been transformed, Xie Xiaorong and the rest of the disciples went after him and passed through the same Transcension. A medicine bequeathed by Xie Huichun shields the mind from erosion when taken at the right moment, though it holds for only a short while.
