Background / History

Fang Yinli was a sixteen-year-old Xuantian Temple genius and one of the Ten Heroes of the Immortal Dao. She practiced the Xuantian Temple's secret technique but suffered a cultivation deviation after her mother died. Her intellect regressed to that of a nine-year-old, while her appetite became insatiable. Her father later remarried and had a son, leaving Yinli neglected within her family. 70 93 95

Despite her childlike disposition, she joined Ling Jianshuang and Elder Tianjian in preparing to challenge Lu Li. Her harmless-looking demeanor and fixation on food concealed a willingness to stand in danger for Ling Jianshuang. 74

Appearance

Fang Yinli is a plump, fair-skinned girl with a round jade-like face, bright dark eyes, and a notably full figure. She is frequently depicted eating while dressed in golden gauze or golden robes. 70 92 245

• Golden gauze robes or Star Treasure Garment. 74 112 245
• Round, rosy or jade-like face. 70 92 154
• Bright, clear, black-pearl-like eyes. 245
• Often carries snacks such as chicken legs, buns, melon seeds, candied hawthorn, and steamed cakes. 80 111 153 180

Personality

Fang Yinli is intensely food-motivated, straightforward, and easily distracted by the prospect of a meal. Her cultivation deviation left her naïve and emotionally young, though she can still recognize danger, fear for Ling Jianshuang's safety, and act decisively when necessary. 95 112 115

Her apparent foolishness occasionally gives way to unexpected insight. During the discussion of an Undying Divine Herb and a political marriage proposal, she questioned whether reviving a muddled, trouble-seeking ancestor would truly benefit Mermaid Island and argued against treating marriage as a purely transactional arrangement. 180

She is fiercely attached to Ling Jianshuang. She exchanged herself for Ling when Lu Li captured her, and later protested when Ling offered to become a hostage in her place. 92 126

Abilities & Skills

Profound Heaven Technique: Star Shift

Fang Yinli can use Star Shift to exchange positions with another person.

• Replaced Ling Jianshuang at the instant Lu Li seized Ling, accepting capture in her stead. 92
• Her prior exchange with Ling Jianshuang through the Mysterious Heaven Divine Talisman gave her the ability to sense Ling's location. 115
• A spirit talisman obtained from Yinli later allowed Lu Li to exchange positions with Young Master Hong during a fatal ambush. 361

Five Elements Sun-Moon Ring

Fang Yinli wields the Five Elements Sun-Moon Ring.

• Restrained a Blood Shadow Sect cultivator during Lu Li's journey to Fallen Immortal Cave. 111
• Its recognizable presence risked exposing her identity while she traveled with Lu Li. 112

Demon Realm Combat

After her growth in the Demon Realm, Fang Yinli was capable of fighting a Devil Realm crab demon god while eating its severed legs. 482

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Five Elements Sun-Moon Ring — Used to bind enemies. 111
• Mysterious Heaven Divine Talisman — Previously used in her exchange with Ling Jianshuang. 115
• Star Shift Spirit Talisman — A talisman associated with Yinli's Star Shift art, later used by Lu Li. 361

Relationships

• Ling Jianshuang — Senior sister and closest companion. Yinli saved Ling through Star Shift, while Ling later offered herself as Lu Li's hostage to secure Yinli's release. 92 126
• Lu Li — Initially her captor and tormentor; he used her as a hostage, attendant, and early-warning companion. Their later interactions become familiar and playful, and Yinli saves rare treasures and spirit fruits for him in the Demon Realm. 96 111 115 485
• Koi Demon Emperor — Adoptive godmother in the Demon Realm; treats Yinli dotingly and accompanies her when she reunites with Lu Li. 485
• Taotie Race — Yinli's innate true-spirit master, whom she calls “Second Master.” His protection gives her confidence against ancient great demons. 485
• Mother — Her death triggered Yinli's cultivation deviation. 95 100
• Father — Remarried and had a son after her mother's death, leaving Yinli neglected. 95

Story Role / Major Arcs

Challenge and Capture

Fang Yinli prepared with Ling Jianshuang to challenge Lu Li, but intervened when he captured Ling. She used Star Shift to take Ling's place, was knocked unconscious, and was carried to the City of Immortal Execution as Lu Li's prisoner. 74 92 93

Lu Li imprisoned her in an electrified iron cell, publicly broadcast her captivity through the Cloud Ring, and used her humiliation to provoke the Immortal Dao. 96

Captivity under Lu Li

Lu Li eventually allowed Yinli limited freedom inside Yanshen Palace in exchange for her promise not to escape. He forced her to serve as a maid and brought her to Fallen Immortal Cave, where she helped restrain an enemy and locate Ling Jianshuang. 102 109 111 115

Ling Jianshuang ultimately traded herself to Lu Li for Yinli's freedom. Yinli objected to the exchange and had to be knocked unconscious before she could stop it. 126

Return to the Immortal Alliance

After returning to the Immortal Alliance, Yinli condensed her Golden Core through a chance encounter with a beggar and a medicinal pill. She later cultivated with Ling Jianshuang in a time-accelerated ruin, reaching Golden Core Perfection. 139 245

The Dao Alliance Leader subsequently designated Yinli and Ling as Lu Li's helpers for an undercover mission against Demonic Sect Golden Core cultivators. 244 245

Demon Realm Wanderings

Yinli became lost in the Demon Realm, where she reached Nascent Soul after eating a dragon egg. She was briefly kept as a human pet by a True Dragon, escaped a mysterious demon domain disguised as a monkey, reunited with a Taotie, and caused trouble in the Demon Court. 343 405 425 428

Her wandering later released eight ancient great demons in the Mist Domain. She was eventually taken in by the Koi Demon Emperor as an adoptive daughter. 452 485

Reunion in the Demon Crossing Tower

Lu Li located Yinli within the Demon Crossing Tower while she fought a crab demon god amid a vast water-based battle. She reunited with him alongside the Koi Demon Emperor, revealed that she had saved Demon Realm treasures for him, and led him toward her Taotie master to seek help against the tower's threats. 482 485

Trivia

• She values food enough to call Lu Li inhuman for refusing to feed her. 152
• Her habit of eating during serious situations repeatedly causes others to underestimate her. 126 180 482
• Lu Li once considered her a useful “human-shaped early warning system” during their journey through Fallen Immortal Cave. 111
