Background / History

Louise rushed into the newly opened Lan Tian Medical Hall after a wild boar attack left her with broken ribs, internal injuries, and bleeding. Lan Tian treated her with Endless Life, fully healing her within an hour; she became the clinic's first paying customer, paying one Gold Soul Coin 2.

After learning that Lan Tian was a one-ring Soul Master with a hundred-year first soul ring, Louise introduced herself and asked to befriend him. She subsequently gave him her gold library card, granting free access to Nuoding Library, and appears to have helped spread word of his medical practice among wealthy acquaintances 2 3.

When Connor, a wealthy merchant and her father's longtime friend, was critically wounded by a Hedgehog Soul Beast, Louise brought him directly to Lan Tian. She guarded the clinic door during Connor's surgery, then reported his successful recovery to her father 4 5. She later invited Lan Tian to a banquet at her family estate, where Henry and Connor formally thanked him for saving both Connor and Louise 6 7.

Louise continued serving as an important local connection for Lan Tian. She introduced him to Grant's soul-hunting team, securing him a one-day physician position worth ten Gold Soul Coins 9 10. After Lan Tian's expedition into the middle layer of Soul Hunting Forest became known, she relayed Grant's offer to accompany him on future trips 16.

During the city guards' medical emergency, Louise voluntarily joined Lan Tian at the clinic. Though initially startled by the scene, she quickly learned to pass sterilized scalpels, threaded needles, and other tools; her assistance more than doubled Lan Tian's efficiency 17. She also helped clean the clinic afterward and later discussed the practical advantages of Lan Tian's appointment as Nuoding City's Chief Physician 18 19.

Over the following years, Louise remained a regular presence in Lan Tian's life, delivering food, assisting with errands, and keeping informed on the clinic and local trade. She was among the first to notice the Nine Heart Begonia growing in his courtyard and expressed concern for the rare plant's condition 36.

At age thirty-three, Louise confessed that she had rejected several prospective suitors because she loved Lan Tian. Lan Tian agreed to their future together, intending to obtain his third soul ring and a baronial title before formally approaching Henry about marriage 38. After Lan Tian received his fief, he instead invited Louise to become his business partner in the cultivation and sale of medicinal herbs, a role she accepted enthusiastically 51.

Louise became central to the fief's herb enterprise. She inspected the first harvest, marketed its exceptionally potent herbs, identified demand throughout Nuoding City and other major cities, and advised Lan Tian to expand production while concealing his role as the grower 53 77. She later helped negotiate the hundred-year lease of five thousand mu of wasteland and drafted the wage and bonus structure for the expanded workforce 78 79.

After revealing that her inherited Gold Coin Martial Soul had left her with zero innate Soul Power, Louise accepted Lan Tian's offer of Money Grass, which could awaken acquired Soul Power in metal-attribute martial souls. She agreed to become Lan Tian's concubine and keep the herb's effect secret, then consumed it under his guidance and awakened at level ten 90 91.

Lan Tian accompanied Louise into Soul Hunting Forest for her first soul ring. She killed a roughly five-hundred-year Gold-Veined Toad with a dagger and absorbed its ring, reaching level seventeen and gaining Wealth Fortune Sense 92. She subsequently proposed establishing a shop in Nuoding City to manage business openly while cultivating; together, they founded Blue Medicine Hall, with Louise acting as its manager and shopkeeper 93 94.

After reaching level twenty through Blue Medicine Hall's thriving trade, Louise returned to Soul Hunting Forest with Lan Tian. She killed a nine-hundred-year Treasure-Gathering Turtle, absorbed its second soul ring, and advanced to level twenty-three as a Soul Grandmaster. Its soul skill, Golden Shield Blessing, allowed her accumulated wealth to become defensive power 96 97.

Lan Tian then gave Louise the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, a spiritual herb he had preserved for her. After consuming it, she advanced from level twenty-three to level thirty and gained a substantially improved physique. The pair continued deeper into the forest to find her third ring; after Lan Tian defeated a two-thousand-year Golden Thunder Eagle, Louise killed it and absorbed its ring, becoming a level-thirty-two Soul Elder with Golden Thunder Cannon 98 99.

Louise continued overseeing Blue Medicine Hall's procurement, sales, and accounts, including the sale of materials from the Treasure-Gathering Turtle and Golden Thunder Eagle. When Lan Tian used his divine abilities to mature large quantities of century-old herbs instantaneously, she organized their profitable sale through the hall. She later drank Blue Silver God's Life Essence, reaching level thirty-five while continuing to cultivate through commerce 100 113 116.

When Lan Tian needed materials for the Void Concealment Formation, Louise used Blue Medicine Hall's commercial channels and informants to procure nearly everything required. She also located intelligence concerning a spatial-attribute guide stone in Gengxin City of the Star Luo Empire 123 124.

Louise welcomed Ah Yin into Lan Tian's household without jealousy, prepared the eastern room for her, and helped introduce her to human domestic life 144 145. In late autumn, Lan Tian confirmed that Louise was pregnant with his child. Louise transferred Blue Medicine Hall's active management and its account books to trusted members of her family, then withdrew to the fief to rest and protect the pregnancy 145. Although she no longer handled the hall's daily work at this stage, she continued to review business accounts from time to time while living peacefully at the expanded fief 146.

After the fief expanded to 5,800 mu, Lan Tian grew Blue Silver Castle from living blue-golden vines as a permanent family residence. Louise watched its construction alongside Ah Yin and Xiao Li, entered the completed castle with them, and settled into its peaceful domestic routine. The castle was linked to the Fiefdom Array and concealed from outsiders 147. She later received one of four Soul Power-driven ranged weapons Lan Tian crafted for himself and the three women 151.

Louise subsequently gave birth. Over the year encompassing pregnancy and childbirth, she continued occasionally checking Blue Medicine Hall's accounts, and the hall's profits doubled twice through its supply of century-old medicinal herbs and scarce high-grade pills. The resulting financial fortune raised her Soul Power to level thirty-nine despite her reduced daily involvement 165. After childbirth, she meditated beneath the Golden Ancient Tree and absorbed medicinal energy that had accumulated during pregnancy, breaking through to level forty 166.

Lan Tian then took Louise and Xiao Li into Sunset Forest for their next soul rings. Louise used Wealth Fortune Sense to identify the leader of a Golden Light Bird flock. With Lan Tian suppressing the roughly six-thousand-year bird, she killed it using Golden Thunder Cannon and absorbed its purple ring, reaching level forty-two and acquiring Golden Light Flash 166 167. She remained with the group during its subsequent search for Xiao Li's Shadow Blade Cat, helping provide food and supplies 168.

Following the hunt, the three visited Heaven Dou City for shopping and sightseeing. Louise bought clothing and silver lock pendants for Lan Si'er and Lan Li'er, selected fine blue silk for a new skirt for Ah Yin, and helped Xiao Li feel comfortable returning to the city associated with her former captivity 169. She continued reviewing accounts at Blue Silver Castle and later provided practical support while Lan Tian condensed his first Life Soul Core 171 175.

As the household's commercial influence expanded, Louise organized letters of intent from visiting noble estates and trading partners. Lan Tian reviewed and approved several large agreements, then entrusted her with following up on their details 187. When Shui Hanyi joined the household, Louise welcomed her and introduced herself as the mistress of the Lan Family 198.

A later medicinal treatment strengthened Louise's meridians and raised her Soul Power from level forty-four to the threshold of level fifty 200. Lan Tian and Ah Yin selected a roughly twenty-five-thousand-year Golden-Eyed Lion King for her fifth ring. Louise participated in planning the hunt, asking about its pressure field, preparing Soul Recovery Pills, and considering how to combine her detection, defense, ranged attack, and movement skills 201.

In Sunset Forest's Ore Vein Mountains, Lan Tian countered the lion's pressure field and protected Louise while she attacked from its flank. She used Golden Light Flash to evade its attacks and repeatedly struck its vulnerable abdomen with Golden Thunder Cannon, eventually killing it with a shot into the existing wound 202. Absorbing its black ring raised her to level fifty-three and granted Golden Might Domain, a moving suppression field whose range and strength increase with wealth-point expenditure 203.

Louise immediately used her new domain to assist Xiao Li's hunt for a Shadow Spirit Cat. When Xiao Li drove the beast out of its rocky chamber, the domain reduced its speed and restricted its spatial jumps, allowing Xiao Li to bind and kill it 203 204. Afterward, the group again visited Heaven Dou City, where Louise bought fabric for the household's children and shared Lan Tian's concern about increased Spirit Hall activity amid tightening military security 205.

Appearance

Louise is a young woman with long hair, fair skin, and an affluent appearance.

• Wears gold and silver jewelry and expensive clothing 2.
• Was later seen in a pale blue dress 19.
• Carries herself with the ease and resources of a wealthy Nuoding City family 2 7.
• Her family owns an orchard that produces fresh autumn pears 16.
• By her early thirties, she had grown into a graceful and poised beauty, with crescent eyes, an elegant nose, naturally rosy lips, and fair skin 38.
• Often dresses practically for business or travel, including light-purple riding clothes and fitted dark clothing for soul-hunting 51 77 92.
• Has worn a goose-yellow dress, lotus-root-colored dress, and other refined outfits while visiting Lan Tian 38 90.
• During her pregnancy, her face became softer and more radiant, and a faint curve became visible at her lower abdomen 145 146.
• Cut her hair shorter for convenience during a business trip, giving her a particularly neat and capable appearance 51.
• After consuming Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, her fingers became more slender, her skin gained a healthy sheen, and her muscles became firmer and more elastic; she felt as though she had become several years younger 98.
• Her palms display a golden sheen when her power is active. This radiance grew richer and more stable after her level-forty and level-fifty breakthroughs, and a rich golden gleam flashed in her eyes after absorbing her fifth ring 166 200 203.

Personality

Louise is grateful, socially perceptive, and proactive. After being healed, she immediately recognized the significance of Lan Tian's hundred-year soul ring and approached him respectfully as a potential friend and professional contact 2.

She consistently supports Lan Tian through practical action: providing library access, recommending wealthy patients, arranging work, bringing food and gifts, and sharing local information 3 9 16 19. Her knowledge of Nuoding City's affairs is notably current; she learns about developments through her father and his connections, then explains their implications to Lan Tian 16 19.

Although inexperienced medically, Louise remains composed under pressure. During the city guards' emergency, she overcame her initial shock and followed Lan Tian's instructions quickly enough to become an effective surgical assistant 17.

Louise is also patient and emotionally direct. She supported Lan Tian for years before openly confessing her feelings when pressure from her family to marry became impossible to ignore 38. Her decision to consume the Money Grass further demonstrated her resolve: she understood the danger posed by its secret, yet chose to trust Lan Tian and accept the risks of becoming a soul master 91.

As a merchant, Louise is shrewd, organized, and forward-looking. She recognizes market demand, protects sensitive business information, proposes practical expansion plans, and develops detailed management arrangements for large projects 77 79. Her business aptitude also appears closely tied to the nature of her Gold Coin Martial Soul 95.

Louise is confident and magnanimous regarding Lan Tian's household. She accepted Xiao Li as Lan Tian's partner and later welcomed Ah Yin into the fief, offering practical hospitality rather than rivalry 114 144. After becoming pregnant, she responsibly delegated Blue Medicine Hall's daily affairs to her family and accepted Lan Tian's instruction to prioritize her health and unborn child 145.

Her care for the household extends to everyday comforts and thoughtful gifts. She buys clothing and accessories for the children, chooses fine silk for Ah Yin, and reassures Xiao Li that she may freely revisit Heaven Dou City. She also welcomes Shui Hanyi without hostility, confidently identifying herself as the family's mistress 169 198 205.

As her combat abilities develop, Louise shows confidence tempered by caution. She asks detailed questions about dangerous opponents, mentally rehearses combinations of her skills, and follows tactical advice rather than relying on power alone 201 202. Nevertheless, she remains less experienced in actual fighting than her cultivation level might suggest; repeated use of her strongest techniques leaves her exhausted during the Golden-Eyed Lion King hunt 203.

• Her cultivation appears to be fueled by successful trade and accumulated profits rather than ordinary meditation alone 95.
• Organized the sale of the fief's magically matured century-old herbs, whose exceptional quality substantially increased Blue Medicine Hall's reputation and profits 113 116.
• Delegated Blue Medicine Hall's active management to trusted relatives during her pregnancy, while remaining informed through the business accounts 145 146.
• Continues benefiting from the hall's accumulated financial fortune even when she only occasionally checks its accounts; its profits doubled twice during the year encompassing pregnancy and childbirth 165.

Soul Master Abilities

Louise awakened acquired Soul Power through Money Grass, allowing her previously unusable Gold Coin Martial Soul to cultivate 91.

• Gold Coin Martial Soul — An inherited metal-attribute martial soul resembling a pale-gold Gold Soul Coin. Before awakening, it granted her zero innate Soul Power and could only be summoned without practical combat use 90.
• First Soul Ring — A roughly five-hundred-year yellow soul ring obtained from a Gold-Veined Toad 92.
• Wealth Fortune Sense — A permanently active passive soul skill that senses valuable items nearby, including herbs, coins, weapons, and materials. It can also distinguish benevolent and malicious auras 92 94.
• Expanded Wealth Fortune Sense — After gaining her second ring, her sensory range and ability to discern valuable energy sources improved further, while she developed a stronger sense that wealth would gather around her 97 98.
• Golden Shield Blessing — Her second soul skill creates a golden shield around a target. The shield's thickness and accumulated defensive value are proportional to Louise's wealth; earning more money strengthens it further 97 98.
• Golden Thunder Cannon — Her third soul skill electrifies and fires a Gold Coin as a high-speed projectile. Its lightning-wreathed shot can pierce stone and leaves scorched impact damage 99.
• Dagger Use — Killed the Gold-Veined Toad by silently approaching and striking the back of its head with a dagger. She later used the same precise method to kill the Treasure-Gathering Turtle and deliver the final strike to the Golden Thunder Eagle 92 97 99.
• Enhanced Physique — The Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone cleared her meridians, nourished her tendons and bones, and improved her physical condition alongside her Soul Power 98.
• Fourth Soul Ring — A roughly six-thousand-year purple soul ring obtained from the leader of a Golden Light Bird flock in Sunset Forest 166 167.
• Golden Light Flash — Her fourth soul skill transforms her into golden light for instantaneous movement, initially allowing travel of up to five hundred meters. Additional wealth-point expenditure can increase the distance. Its baseline consumption is low enough for repeated use, and it leaves a fading golden afterimage 167.
• Fifth Soul Ring — A twenty-five-thousand-year black soul ring obtained from a Golden-Eyed Lion King in the Ore Vein Mountains of Sunset Forest 202 203.
• Golden Might Domain — Her fifth soul skill creates a continuous golden suppression field that moves with her. Enemy targets within it suffer slower Soul Power circulation and movement, weakened and delayed attacks, and reduced defense. Its initial demonstrated radius is several dozen paces; investing wealth points expands its range and strengthens its effects 203.
• Spatial-Movement Suppression — Golden Might Domain can hinder a teleporting opponent by restricting its speed and jumping ability. Louise used it to prevent the Shadow Spirit Cat from effectively escaping, enabling Xiao Li to complete the kill 203 204.
• Postpartum Medicinal Assimilation — After childbirth, meditation beneath the Golden Ancient Tree allowed medicinal energy accumulated during pregnancy to merge into her Soul Power and carry her to level forty 166.
• Soul Power-Driven Weapon — Received a ranged weapon crafted by Lan Tian, powered through injected Soul Power and designed for penetrating attacks 151.

Combat Tactics and Limitations

Louise's later soul skills give her detection, defense, ranged offense, instantaneous movement, and area suppression, allowing her to adopt a more balanced combat style 167 201 203.

• Uses Wealth Fortune Sense to identify prey and plans to monitor an opponent's position and hostility to anticipate attacks 166 201.
• Combines Golden Thunder Cannon for ranged pressure, Golden Light Flash for repositioning, and Golden Shield Blessing if an opponent closes the distance 201.
• Demonstrated precision against the Golden-Eyed Lion King by evading its attacks and repeatedly targeting its weaker abdominal scales 202.
• Provides battlefield control for allies through Golden Might Domain, as shown during Xiao Li's Shadow Spirit Cat hunt 203 204.
• Prepares Soul Recovery Pills for expeditions and recognizes the need to manage stamina, Soul Power, and wealth points 201.
• Repeated use of Golden Light Flash and Golden Thunder Cannon consumes substantial wealth points and Soul Power. Despite her high rank, her limited fighting experience contributes to exhaustion after sustained combat 203.
• Claims that sufficiently large wealth reserves could theoretically strengthen Golden Might Domain enough to suppress an enemy to the level of an ordinary mortal; this upper limit has not been demonstrated 203.

Relationships

• Lan Tian — First patient and later a close friend, supporter, business partner, and occasional surgical assistant. Louise loved Lan Tian for years before confessing to him, later became his concubine, and entrusted him with the secret of her acquired Soul Power 2 3 17 38 91. They jointly operate the fief's herb business and Blue Medicine Hall 51 94. Lan Tian guided her acquisition of her first three soul rings, gave her the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and Blue Silver God's Life Essence, and is the father of her child, whose pregnancy he confirmed and carefully protected 97 98 99 116 145 165. He later helped her obtain her fourth and fifth rings, acting as protector and tactical guide while encouraging her to develop practical combat experience 166 167 201 202 203. Louise continues supporting his cultivation and commercial projects, including his Life Soul Core preparation and expanded partnerships 175 187.
• Henry — Her father, a wealthy Nuoding City resident who hosted a banquet to thank Lan Tian for saving Louise and Connor 6 7. His trading firm later hosted Lan Tian's meeting with Nuoding City's herb merchants 94. Trusted members of Henry's family assumed Blue Medicine Hall's daily management during Louise's pregnancy 145.
• Connor — Her father's longtime friend. Louise brought the critically injured merchant to Lan Tian and guarded the clinic while he underwent surgery 4 5.
• Grant — Her friend and a Nuoding City guard veteran. She connected him with Lan Tian when his soul-hunting team needed a physician 9 10.
• Renn — A city guard captain known to Louise through her father's local connections 19.
• Old Ke — A fief manager with whom Louise coordinates the herb harvests, labor arrangements, and expansion of Lan Tian's land 54 79.
• Xiao Li — Lan Tian's cat-girl subordinate and later partner. Louise accepted Xiao Li's presence at the fief, encouraged her training, and is addressed by her as “Sister” 90 96. Louise welcomed Xiao Li into the household after her relationship with Lan Tian deepened, and the two later discovered that they were both pregnant 114 145. They recovered and resumed cultivation after childbirth, then accompanied Lan Tian on joint soul-ring expeditions 166 168. Louise reassures Xiao Li during their visits to Heaven Dou City and helps her enjoy ordinary shopping and leisure 169 205. Their combat abilities become complementary when Louise's Golden Might Domain enables Xiao Li to kill the Shadow Spirit Cat; both acknowledge the other's contribution 203 204.
• Ah Yin — A blue-haired woman from the Star Dou Great Forest who joined Lan Tian's household. Louise welcomed her into the fief, arranged her room, and taught her aspects of human domestic life; she later encouraged Ah Yin to settle her relationship with Lan Tian 144 145. Louise also chooses fine silk to make her a new skirt 169. Ah Yin later serves as a tactical adviser for Louise's fifth-ring hunt, explaining the Golden-Eyed Lion King's pressure field and vulnerable abdomen 201.
• Shui Hanyi — A later addition to Lan Tian's household. Louise greets her warmly and introduces herself as the mistress of the Lan Family 198.
• Lan Si'er, Lan Li'er, and Lan San — Children of the Lan Family household whom Louise includes in her domestic care. She buys small clothes and silver lock pendants for Lan Si'er and Lan Li'er, and later selects fabric for their clothing and Lan San's winter clothes 169 205.
• Younger Cousin — A trusted relative who received Blue Medicine Hall's account books and seals when Louise withdrew from daily management during pregnancy 145.
