洪七公
Guo Jing meets Hong Qigong by chance while out on adventure with Huang Rong. Huang Rong, worrying that her father will look down on Guo Jing due to his unimpressive mastery of martial arts, uses this chance to incite Hong Qigong to teach Guo Jing his most powerful skill. Tempted by Huang Rong's culinary skill, Hong Qigong agrees to teach Guo Jing the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms () to repay Huang Rong's favours of preparing fine cuisine for him every day during the brief period of time he spent with them.
