Appearance

Du Busi is a tall elderly man with a disheveled appearance, smooth ruddy skin, and dark green eyes that reveal his long experience 2 3.

• Hair: Long, dark green hair flowing behind his head, with a completely bald crown 2.
• Face: Almost wrinkle-free despite his apparent age; later shown stroking a beard 2 39.
• Combat form: Transforms into an enormous Green Giant surrounded by nine soul rings 6 21.

Personality

Du Busi is domineering, aggressive, and unconcerned with conventional distinctions between righteousness and evil. He accepts Ye Linyuan despite warnings that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is an incarnation of the Evil God, judging the boy by his potential rather than his martial soul’s reputation. His willingness to obtain resources through force extends to proposing raids on Sun Moon Empire stockpiles and offering to seize an auction item if purchasing it proves impractical 3 14 25.

His attachment to his disciples is equally forceful. He attempts to defend Ye Linyuan even against what he believes is a descending god, yet refuses to approve dangerous training until the boy can withstand its consequences. As sect master, he also protects Ye Linyuan’s ownership of the hotpot venture, refusing to take credit and deliberately using its success to strengthen his disciple’s standing 6 24 30 39.

Abilities & Skills

Poison-Attribute Cultivation

Du Busi chose poison as the cultivation direction of his initially attribute-less body martial soul, reinforcing that attribute from his first soul ring onward 14.

• Produces dark green soul power whose odor alone makes Ye Linyuan dizzy before the Exquisite Sacred Heart counters it 13.
• Assimilates ordinary toxins almost immediately; they no longer meaningfully challenge his poison mastery 36.
• Can traverse the poisonous barrier surrounding the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, though its miasma continuously erodes him rather than stimulating further growth 20 36.
• Has extensively studied medicinal herbs as part of his poison cultivation 24.

Green Giant Transformation

Du Busi’s combat transformation greatly enlarges his body and releases an imposing aura 6 21.

• Tears apart the Aromatic Silk Beauty’s vine blockade with his hands 21.
• Fights the coordinated attacks of three hundred-thousand-year plant soul beasts while shielding Ye Linyuan 21.
• Uses an emerald-green light shield to protect his disciple atop his bald crown during battle 21.

Hell Poison Dragon Drill

His sixth soul skill condenses spinning dark green soul power into a massive drill 21.

• Catches the combined ice-and-fire torrent launched by the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass 21.
• Twists the attack into a tornado, contaminates it with his power, and redirects it toward the Ice Fire Spring 21.
• Forces the plant beasts to mount another defense while the valley’s other inhabitants divert the resulting destructive energy upward 21.

Soul-Power Control and Flight

Du Busi uses his soul power for transportation, protection, intimidation, and restraint 10 20 23 33.

• Flies while carrying Ye Linyuan between empires and cultivation sites 10 25.
• Encloses both of them in a gapless soul-power barrier against poisonous miasma 20.
• Suppresses the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear while Ye Linyuan provokes and kills it 33.
• Reinforces Ye Linyuan’s ultimatum to the plant beasts by releasing his threatening aura 23.

Cultivation Instruction

Du Busi combines knowledge of body martial souls, soul beasts, medicinal herbs, and soul-ring compatibility 4 5 13 24 31.

• Explains how twin martial souls can be cultivated sequentially to preserve high-age soul-ring opportunities 4.
• Uses an inherited record concerning the Sacred Angel Family to identify the unusual value of a Unicorn soul ring 5 8.
• Gives Ye Linyuan the Cold Sun Forging Heart Art and its predecessor’s training experience 13 14.
• Recommends delaying body tempering until Soul Grand Master to avoid foundation damage 14.
• Selects an amplification-type second soul skill to complement Wind Thunder Flash Strike, leading to the hunt for a 4,000-year Golden Earth Dragon 31.

Breakthrough Requirements and Limits

At Level 98, increasing the quantity of his soul power or taking ordinary medicinal supplements is insufficient for further advancement 36.

• Must deepen his understanding of the poison attribute and condense a second Soul Core 36.
• Needs poison strong enough to challenge his existing control, resistance, and absorption 36.
• Plans to use the Snowy Swan’s Kiss, which Ye Linyuan describes as multiplying a poison’s toxicity a thousandfold 36.
• Intends to draw on Ye Linyuan’s Life Gold-derived vitality as support during the dangerous attempt 36.

Equipment / Items

• Cold Sun Forging Heart Art scroll — A parchment record left by a Body Sect predecessor with a heart martial soul. Contains the technique and body-tempering experience; given to Ye Linyuan 13 14.
• Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record — Received from Ye Linyuan after Youyou surrenders it. Du Busi plans to make its techniques available as sect benefits, particularly for disciples with compatible body martial souls 24.
• Snowy Swan’s Kiss — Obtained from Youyou and carefully stored for his planned breakthrough attempt 36.
• Auction mask — Worn at the Starlight Auction House to conceal his identity and avoid unnecessary trouble 25.

Relationships

• Ye Linyuan — Personal disciple, chosen successor, and protected charge. Du Busi rescues him, supervises his cultivation, and promotes him as the Body Sect’s next heir. Ye Linyuan reciprocates by finding a potential breakthrough opportunity and proposing a solution to the sect’s finances 2 3 8 11 36 37.
• Long Aotian — Personal disciple and originally intended successor. Du Busi instructs him to support Ye Linyuan after the succession changes, but later criticizes his overconfidence before their sparring match 11 17.
• Jin Peng — Senior sect administrator and deputy sect master. Handles resources and helps implement the hotpot venture; his earlier proposal for greater royal cooperation is initially rejected by Du Busi 12 38 39.
• Weina — Body Sect disciple and Heavenly Soul Princess. Du Busi entrusts her with royal liaison and implementation of the Lake Bottom Fishing business plan 12 39.
• Youyou, Ajiao, and Bajiao — Initially hostile guardians of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. After their confrontation, Du Busi supports their recruitment and later demands that they protect Ye Linyuan during his absence 21 23 38.
• Electrolux — Mistakenly regarded as the Evil God behind Ye Linyuan’s inheritance. Du Busi initially treats his arrival as a threat, then accepts Ye Linyuan’s cover story and interprets later displays of divine sense as confirmation 6 7 8 23.
