若要問彥卿除劍術之外還寄情何物,只能換得一句乾脆的回答——
「興趣只會影響我拔劍的速度!」
猶如孩童熱愛玩具買個不停,他不惜傾盡所有零花,購入工造司所出的大部分寶劍——真氣操作的飛劍、近身接戰的短刃、自在伸縮的軟劍…每一種規格功能都如數家珍,並且時常購入雙份,一柄拆封使用,一柄入室珍藏。到了月底往往落得個「吃將軍,用將軍,可憐巴巴求將軍」的地步。
少年愛劍,天經地義。在他所藏的仙舟劍器上倒映閃爍着的是一個夢:
成為羅浮第一,不,是仙舟第一;摘取羅浮「劍首」,乃至聯盟「劍魁」的冠稱。
自「飲月之亂」後,羅浮雲騎軍中武藝之尊「劍首」 的名銜已空懸數百年——並非無人想要爭取,而是某些更隱秘難言的原因:
前任劍首,那位留下十三奇功的傳奇劍士,觸犯天律,被抹去了名字。連她所得到的榮譽,也成了旁人難以觸碰的痛處。
Character Story: Part III

If you ask Yanqing what other interests he has besides sword fighting, you'll be met with a simple answer —
"Interests are temporary, my sword is forever!"
Like a child infatuated with toys, he spares no expense in buying most of the blades manufactured by the Artisanship Commission — flying swords controlled by qi, daggers for close combat, flexible swords that can bend and adjust... He knows different sword's spec and function like the back of his mind. He'll even buy an extra copy — one to use in combat, and one for his collection. This leaves his finances in a sorrowful situation at the end of each month, where he could only beg the general for food and daily necessities.
It's completely natural for teenage boys to love swords, but a specific dream flickers and dances among the Xianzhou swords in his collection.
To become the best on the Luofu — no, the best across all the Xianzhou ships. To take the title of Sword Champion on the Luofu, and even take the title of Sword Preeminence across the Alliance.
Since the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae, the title of Sword Champion among the Luofu Cloud Knights has remained vacant for centuries. Not that nobody wants to claim it, but for a rather more embarrassing reason:
The previous Sword Champion, a legendary swordmaster with 13 outstanding accolades, violated the laws of heaven, resulting in her name being wiped from the face of the cosmos. Even the prestigious title that she bore became a sore spot for others.
But for this vastly impressive teen, it's now time to turn over a new page in the annals of history and write another chapter.
