Background / History
Yiyi first appears as a girl hostile to Lu Ye's presence on Green Cloud Mountain. She is later revealed to be Amber's Accomplice Spirit, born from the White Tiger rather than an ordinary human cultivator. Her memories before becoming a Sorrowful Spirit are incomplete; Amber and Lu Ye become the only family she remembers having. 47 174 695
After Lu Ye frees her from a cultivator who had enslaved her, she becomes his regular companion. While traveling with Lu Ye and Amber, she accepts Lu Ye's surname after admitting that she cannot remember her own, proudly naming herself Lu Yiyi. 64 110
Yiyi initially hopes to become a Medical Cultivator so that she can treat Lu Ye's frequent injuries. After discovering she lacks aptitude for medicine, she studies mystic arts under the Crimson Blood Sect Master instead and displays exceptional talent as a Spell Cultivator. 217 624
The Soul Cleansing Pool in Immortal Yuan City provides Yiyi with an exceptional benefit due to her nature as a spirit. Later, she and Amber develop rapidly through their bond, with her spellcasting, stealth, and control of the Nine Formation Map becoming vital to Lu Ye's battles. 296 487 591
Li Shang eventually identifies that Yiyi's previous cultivation path is unsuitable for a Soul Body. Determined to gain the Soul Attachment Technique and become capable of helping Lu Ye rather than burdening him, Yiyi travels toward the Soul Race Ancestral Land despite Lu Ye's fears for her safety. There, she receives a personal cultivation space within a Lotus Platform and begins pursuing the Soul Race's proper path. 1582 1650 1651 1657
Appearance
Yiyi usually appears as a petite young girl. Though she is a spirit body, she can become tangible enough to feel like an ordinary living person and, after the Soul Cleansing Pool, is difficult even for experienced cultivators to identify as a spirit. 174 296

Personality
Yiyi is affectionate, impulsive, and deeply attached to Lu Ye and Amber. She readily follows her curiosity—such as rushing to see Ruan Lingyu or pursuing herb gathering—and is prone to sulking when denied something she wants. 112 182
Her apparent childishness does not prevent her from showing courage or resolve. She insists on pursuing Soul Race cultivation because she wants to obtain techniques that will let her protect and assist Lu Ye. When confronted by robbers while following him, she remains calm because she trusts that Lu Ye will come for her. 1650 1651
She is compassionate toward those who resemble her circumstances, notably befriending and comforting Ye Liuli. She is also emotionally sensitive to loss, grieving when Ye Liuli disappears. 695 738
