Background / History

Ye Lingling accompanied Dugu Yan on Gourmet Street in Heaven Dou City when the nine-story Scripture Depository appeared without warning. Initially frightened by the pavilion, she entered only after Dugu Yan took the lead. Inside, her fear gave way to fascination with its shelves of books; she is an avid reader with a particular interest in medical texts, pharmacopoeias, novels, and stories. 3

When Dugu Yan became distressed by the Thousand Spider Poison Hand’s resemblance to her congenital poison suffering, Ye Lingling silently comforted her and turned hostile toward Li Jingzhe. She repeatedly cautioned Dugu Yan against cultivating an unknown poison technique, but remained at her side once Dugu Yan committed to it. 4 5

During Dugu Yan’s first attempt, Ye Lingling summoned the Nine Heart Begonia and stood ready with Dugu Yan’s Poison Bead. When the incomplete technique caused Dugu Yan to collapse, she immediately caught and healed her, remaining loyal even while fearing the risks involved. 6 7

After joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team alongside Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling sought a way to contribute beyond healing. She purchased the Seven Injuries Fist, a Bosi Qu Snake Gallbladder, and a Greater Restoration Pill from Li Jingzhe, recognizing that her martial soul might heal the fist art’s self-inflicted backlash. 14 17 18

Appearance

Ye Lingling is described as a cold, flawless beauty who commonly conceals her face behind a light silk veil. 3 4

• Delicate build and graceful, “lotus-step” manner of movement. 17 20
• Usually wears a light gauze veil over her face. 3 18
• Summons the Nine Heart Begonia in her palm. 3 6
• Her calm appearance sharply contrasts with the brutal force of her Seven Injuries Fist in battle. 25 27

Personality

Ye Lingling is thoughtful, bookish, and initially cautious around danger. She was frightened by the sudden appearance of the Scripture Depository and repeatedly tried to dissuade Dugu Yan from taking risks, but she did not abandon her friend once Dugu Yan made her decision. 3 5 6

Her concern for Dugu Yan is matched by considerable resolve. Although she knows the Seven Injuries Fist causes severe pain and bodily backlash, she chooses to cultivate it so that she can become an offensive force rather than remain solely a healer. 17 18

She possesses strong medical and technical curiosity. Her familiarity with pharmacology, meridians, and acupoints lets her recognize the potential of combining the Seven Injuries Fist’s circulation methods with the Nine Heart Begonia’s healing. 18

Abilities & Skills

Nine Heart Begonia

The Nine Heart Begonia is regarded as the world’s number one healing martial soul. Its healing soul power rapidly restores injuries and enables Ye Lingling to sustain both herself and her allies. 6 26

• Healed Dugu Yan after the backlash from the incomplete Thousand Spider Poison Hand. 6
• Rapidly restored Dugu Yan’s shoulder wound and blood loss during the match against Shrek Academy. 26
• Lets Ye Lingling repeatedly mitigate the self-damage caused by the Seven Injuries Fist. 18 19
• Its known soul-ring abilities are healing-oriented; her offensive power comes from martial arts rather than an offensive martial-soul skill. 27

Seven Injuries Fist

A Self-Created Soul Skill that draws on specialized soul-power circulation around the internal organs to form destructive force. Its user must injure and temper themself before inflicting the technique’s sevenfold injuries on others. 17 18

• Causes extreme backlash, including internal pain, vomiting blood, and collapse when first cultivated. 18
• Ye Lingling’s Nine Heart Begonia makes her unusually compatible with the technique by healing the damage it causes her body. 18 19
• Defeated Xiao Wu with a heart-meridian strike that sent her off the Soul Fighting Platform. 25
• Can be used repeatedly despite backlash; Tang San notes her resilience under successive uses. 26
• Unleashed a two-fold energy stack powerful enough to break Tang San’s seven-layer Blue Silver Prison. 26

Medical Knowledge

The Ye Family’s survival in the soul master world rests not only on the Nine Heart Begonia, but also on its members’ training in pharmacology, meridians, and major acupuncture points. 18
