Jin Zhanyi

Introduction
Renowned to be first under Venerable (Three Flowers Gathering in Unison Stage) and is from the Spiritual Heaven Treasure Temple, a sect from the Da Shen Country. Practices the Asura Dao which allows for Jin Zhanyi to become stronger as he fights and kills.

Book 4
Appears at Celestial Pond Mountain with Zhang Zhonjin as an agent from Spiritual Heaven Treasure Temple who provides the Xiantian pills to the sect. When the two spirit beasts come from the Qilin Clan, challenging Celestial Pond Mountain, Jin Zhanyi wishes to challenge them but Ai Wenbin tells him that Celestial Pond Mountain will handle their own affairs.

Zhang Zhongjin makes an offer to Heng Mountain that for the recipe of the Face Halting Pill, Spiritual Heaven Treasure Temple would supply Heng Mountain a Xiantian pill every 10 years for 500 years. Heng Mountain accepts. He Yiming wants to come along with Jin Zhanyi and Zhang Zhongjin to get half the batch of pills and witness the forming of the pills.

Book 5
During their journey, they get jumped on by two assassins from the Underworld Sect. This is due to Jin Zhanyi creating many enemies before reaching his current strength. Jin Zhanyi is challenged by the Qi-Lian Twin Demons in a two versus two. There is nobody close to his battle strength whom he knows but as he has heard that He Yiming is the first under Venerable in the Northwest Countries, Jin Zhanyi tests him via a fight and asks him to help him against the Qi-Lian Twin Demons and He Yiming agrees.

At the end of Book 5, Jin Zhanyi is possessed during cultivation and is injured. Thanks to He Yiming's Metal Pill, he recuperates but loses 1 year of cultivation and returns to how he was back in Ghost Mountain. He Yiming shows Jin the Purple Qi from Eastern Sea to consolidate his realm again.
