Background / History

Ye Shuyuan runs the Ye Family Clinic in Tiandou City and is recognized as the continent’s only healing-type Titled Douluo. His standing makes him a sought-after figure among both empires, Martial Soul Hall, and major sects. 1

He raises his grandson Ye Qingzhou and granddaughter Ye Lingling. He personally gathers medicinal ingredients, maintains the clinic, and oversees Ye Qingzhou’s early cultivation and medical education. 1 2 15

During Ye Qingzhou’s Martial Soul awakening, Ye Shuyuan discovers that his grandson possesses the Magnolia and Prayer Angel twin Martial Souls, along with unprecedented level-20 innate soul power. Overwhelmed by the discovery, he briefly faints from joy. 2 3

He escorts Ye Qingzhou into Sunset Forest, personally secures the Sleeping Fragrance Orchid Butterfly and Thousand-Blade Jade Butterfly, and guards the absorption of Ye Qingzhou’s first two soul rings. 6 7

After Dugu Bo brings them to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ye Shuyuan identifies its immortal herbs and determines that they can resolve the hereditary martial-soul ailments of both the Ye and Dugu families. He later selects the Purple-Spotted Snake Star for Dugu Bo, Feather-Garment Holy Orchid for Ye Qingzhou, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo for himself, and Earth Dragon Golden Melon for Dugu Yan. 17 19 20

When Shui Yue’er reveals that Flender and Ma Hongjun exploited his advice regarding Evil Fire treatment to harass Skywater Academy students, Ye Shuyuan accepts responsibility for the unintended consequences. He travels to Skywater Academy with Dugu Bo, protects its students, and intervenes against Shrek Academy and the complicit local Martial Soul Hall branch. 27 28 29

He later rejects Yu Luomian’s request to help free Liu Erlong, insisting that Skywater Academy and Shui Bing’er—the victims—must be considered rather than allowing coercion to be excused. 42 43

Appearance

Ye Shuyuan is an elderly man whose unassuming appearance contrasts sharply with his status as a Titled Douluo. 1

• White hair and a weathered face. 1
• Typically wears simple, plain robes. 1
• Maintains a beard, which he often strokes while evaluating situations or explaining medical matters. 2 5
• His Nine Heart Begonia manifests as a pink begonia flower. 2

Personality

Ye Shuyuan is calm, authoritative, and protective of his family. When a customer attempts to assault Ye Qingzhou, he immediately immobilizes and expels the offender, prioritizing his grandson’s safety over courtesy. 1

He takes medicine seriously as a means of saving people. His disgust at Ma Hongjun and Flender’s conduct becomes especially pronounced when his proposed treatment is used to trouble Skywater Academy; he considers this an insult to his reputation as the Medical Saint and moves to correct the harm. 28

Despite his dignity, Ye Shuyuan can become openly excitable around rare herbs. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he is overwhelmed by the sight of legendary immortal herbs, particularly the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. 17

Abilities & Skills

Titled Douluo Soul Power

As a level-91 healing-type Titled Douluo, Ye Shuyuan can overwhelm lower-ranked soul masters through sheer soul-power pressure.

• Restrained an attacking customer so completely that the man could not move his fist or circulate his soul power. 1
• Forced the offender to kneel with his Titled Douluo aura. 1
• Maintained a protective life-energy barrier around Ye Qingzhou while the latter absorbed a thousand-year soul ring. 7
• His level-91 aura was sufficient to snap Dugu Bo out of an emotional outburst, despite Dugu Bo being level 92. 20

Nine Heart Begonia

Ye Shuyuan’s Martial Soul is the Nine Heart Begonia, a healing-type martial soul that emits a rich aura of life. 2

• Used during Ye Qingzhou’s Martial Soul awakening ceremony to channel soul power through the awakening array. 2
• Its life energy can envelop and protect nearby allies. 2 7
• Its hereditary limitations are a major concern of the Ye family; Ye Shuyuan believes immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can resolve them. 17

Medical Expertise

Ye Shuyuan is renowned for his diagnostic ability and deep knowledge of medicine, medicinal herbs, and martial-soul-related ailments.

• Correctly determined that Ma Hongjun’s Evil Fire could be suppressed but not fundamentally cured through ordinary treatment because it coexists with his Martial Soul. 13
• Recommended an ice-attribute soul master or the Extreme North as methods to suppress Ma Hongjun’s condition. 13 14
• Trained Ye Qingzhou in medical theory and practical treatment. 15
• Identified the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a land that nurtures immortal herbs. 17
