Murong Chuyi

* Novel (CN)
* Novel (ENG)

**Murong Chuyi** (慕容楚衣, *Mùróng Chǔyī*) is a powerful grandmaster artificer. He is known as the Ignorance of Chonghua's Three Poisons. He is widely known as the infamous **Ignorant Immortal** (痴仙, *Chī Xiān*).

## Appearance

Murong Chuyi is said to have extremely delicate features, with an inborn majesty and a "strikingly immortal aura". Notably, he bears sword-straight brows and a pair of majestic phoenix eyes. A horsetail whisk can be seen on his person at times.
His hair is bound by a jade crown fastened with a white silk ribbon, while his eyes are said to hold an apathetic coldness that makes his elegance seem like a frosty indifference, rather than a soft tenderness. He wears white robes with long sleeves, and a silver belt and trim as he was adopted into the Murong Family, unlike the gold trim that Chonghua's royal-blooded nobles have.

## Personality

Murong Chuyi is first remarked as being indifferent towards and detached from the world outside of his secluded lab, which he spends most, if not the entire, year in. It is mentioned that he is apparently willing to try anything and sacrifice everything to create godlike weaponry, even if the general public does not know what weapons are produced.

He is also extremely secretive alongside seclusive, with his home at the Yue Manor grounds being described as nigh impenetrable. As an very capable artificer, his workshop is secured with defensive spells and barriers that not even Yue Juntian, the head of the Yue Family, can unlock easily.

He often disregards Yue Chenqing's affection and idolization of him, sometimes even ignoring his existence entirely. When it comes to Jiang Yexue, he is prone to losing his temper easily and makes his hatred of him clear.

In reality, Murong Chuyi's heartlessness and apathy are fake, and he has a kind heart deep down. When he first got the chance, he gave Yue Chenqing the praise and affection that he wanted to give after being freed of the black magic curse, though this was short-lived as he died soon after.

While it was assumed that he spent all year in his workshop creating godlike weapons, he actually created items that would benefit the people. He held concern for them and was actually the one to hand out the replicas of the Yue Family's Talisman of Indestructibility that he made back when the sword demon Li Qingqian was spreading trouble through the capital.

## Background

Murong Chuyi was abandoned at a temple as a baby. He was then discovered by Murong Huang, a member of the Murong Family, who adopts him into the clan. After Murong Huang dies in childbirth, he continues to live in the secluded area of his courtyard, securing it with defensive spells and barriers to keep away outsiders and rarely ever going outside.

## Trivia

* His favorite food are cakes with sweet fillings and sweet lotus root. Additionally, he gravely dislikes any food that contains animal organs.
* Murong Chuyi bears a striking resemblance to Chu Wanning from *The Husky and His White Cat Shizun*.
	+ This is a result of Murong Chuyi's diagrams being sealed by Jiang Fuli. It was sealed beneath the divine haitang tree that Chen Tang cared for, and so Murong Chuyi's legacy was passed down to Chu Wanning. It explains why Murong Chuyi and Chu Wanning are so similar, from their appearances to even their personalities, and how both have mecha-like creations: the Bamboo Warrior and the Holy Night Guardian.
