Background / History

Yan Yan was poisoned from birth by the backlash poison inherited through her family's Jade Python Snake Martial Soul. Unaware of its cause, she had long endured monthly suppression of the poison; her parents died from the same affliction. Dugu Bo concealed this truth while searching for a cure. 1 11 12 13

After returning from the academy, Yan Yan is brought by Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes. There, he reveals both her condition and the truth behind her parents' deaths. She learns of Dugu Bo's guilt, forgives him, and chooses to consume the Qiluo Tulip despite the pain involved. 11 12 13

The Qiluo Tulip purges her backlash poison and evolves her Martial Soul into the Jade Scale Dragon. Her soul power reaches level 40, after which Dugu Bo leads her to obtain a 12,000-year fourth Soul Ring from a Venom Swamp Python. 14 16 17

Yan Yan later reunites with her parents, Dugu Xin and Lin Wan'er, who have returned as undead Soul Saints. She continues cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes under Dugu Bo's guidance before returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and joining the Imperial Dou Team. 24 29 39
