Tao Yao lives in Peach Blossom Village and believes she is a peach blossom spirit, but she can never cultivate demon qi. She successively learned magic spells from Uncle Huang the weasel and Xiao Qi the fox spirit, failing to learn any of them. Later, Tao Yao conceived the idea of going out to look for a cultivation technique suitable for herself, bade farewell to her relatives and friends in the village, and left Peach Blossom Village to embark on her journey. On the road, she obtained the recommendation jade tablet of Lu Changqing from Qingyun Sect, rescued the injured Rong Xiu along the way, and the two became sworn brother and sister. Upon arriving at Qingyun Sect, Tao Yao's spiritual roots were tested to be the rare all-inclusive five elements, she took Sect Master Qingxu as her master, and chose the "Myriad Phenomena Return to One Scripture" which no one had ever mastered, henceforth beginning a brand new cultivation life in her sect.
