Background

Lin Yaoyao was born in a village repeatedly attacked by wild beasts. His mother named him “Yaoyao,” using the character for “demon” because of the village's hardships; she had died by the time he later entered the Spirit Creek Sect. 9 23

At some point, he was bought by Bai Yu and made a Bai Family slave. A Life-and-Death Talisman bound him to Bai Yu, who could kill him through a jade control plaque. Although Yaoyao was stronger than Bai Yu, he endured beatings and obeyed orders because of the talisman. 8

Su Hao encountered him when Bai Yu ordered him to attack. Seeing that Yaoyao was reluctant, honest, and trapped by his circumstances, Su Hao took the control plaque from Bai Yu and brought Yaoyao away. Yaoyao thereafter pledged himself to Su Hao, whom he calls “Brother Hao.” 8

Su Hao recognized Yaoyao's uncommon aptitude, supplied him with pills, and taught him the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Formula. He later secured Yaoyao a place in the Spirit Creek Sect alongside him. 17 18 22

Appearance

Lin Yaoyao is a dark-skinned giant nearly two meters tall, with a heavy, powerful build that contrasts sharply with his delicate-sounding name. 8

• Towering frame, described as nearly two meters tall. 8
• Dark complexion and an imposing physique. 8
• Sandbag-sized fists capable of delivering immense force. 17
• Commonly carries a broad sword after joining the Spirit Creek Sect. 26 44

Personality

Lin Yaoyao is simple, sincere, and notably loyal. Even while enslaved, he apologized before attacking Su Hao and showed visible shame at being compelled to obey Bai Yu. 8

He initially lacks confidence despite his talent, having lived as a slave with little hope for his future. Su Hao repeatedly pushes him to recognize his own strength, especially after Yaoyao defeats the equally ranked Su Wuyong. 17 18

His loyalty becomes absolute once Su Hao treats him as a person rather than property. He is willing to confront powerful enemies for Su Hao and later seeks Xiao Wuji's help when Su Hao is imprisoned in Snake Valley. 19 50

Abilities & Skills

Cultivation and Physical Strength

Yaoyao possesses significant natural aptitude, which Su Hao considers extraordinary even though its exact nature cannot be identified. 23

• Reached Qi Condensation, Fourth Layer after refining Su Hao's pills. 17
• Possessed roughly four thousand jin of force immediately after reaching the Fourth Layer. 17
• Overpowered Su Wuyong, another Fourth Layer cultivator who had trained in an Immortal Sect for three years. 18
• Could contend with Fifth Layer cultivators after receiving resources and practicing the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Formula. 25

Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Formula

Su Hao gave Yaoyao this exceptionally valuable cultivation art to replace his basic Qi Condensation technique. 18

• Greatly enhances his combat power beyond that of ordinary cultivators at the same realm. 18
• Grants formidable self-healing ability; despite shattered bones, severed tendons, and a destroyed dantian and qi sea, Yaoyao remained alive long enough for treatment. 31
• Its full capabilities and Yaoyao's underlying physique remain unidentified. 23

Swordsmanship

Yaoyao fights with a broad sword and readily intervenes when Su Hao is threatened. 26 44

• Drew his broadsword against Cloud Demon and her allies at the Spirit Pool. 44
• Used his weapon to block Zhang Yuan's Golden Snake Sword, though the disparity between their artifacts and cultivation left him injured. 27

Equipment / Items

• Violet-gold broadsword — Chosen from the Spirit Creek Sect's Treasure Pavilion; later referred to as a purple broadsword. 26 44
• Life-and-Death Talisman — A former slave-control talisman. Bai Yu's jade control plaque passed into Su Hao's possession; Su Hao stated he could remove the talisman after reaching Qi Condensation, Fifth Layer, but its removal is not confirmed. 8

Relationships

• Su Hao — Savior, benefactor, and closest companion. Su Hao freed him from Bai Yu, gave him cultivation resources and the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Formula, and brought him into the Spirit Creek Sect. 8 18 22
• Bai Yu — Former owner and abuser. Bai Yu treated Yaoyao as property and used the Life-and-Death Talisman to enforce obedience. 8
• Xiao Wuji — Elder of the Spirit Creek Sect's Eastern Branch and Su Hao's master; Yaoyao became one of his branch's disciples alongside Su Hao. 24 25
• Xia Xiaojiu — Ally who treated Yaoyao with fourth-grade spirit herbs after his severe injuries and helped explain Su Hao's imprisonment to Xiao Wuji. 34 50
• Zhang Yuan and Zhang Feng — Spirit Creek Sect disciples involved in his injuries. Zhang Yuan previously wounded him at the Treasure Pavilion, while Zhang Feng admitted to destroying Yaoyao's dantian during the later group assault. 27 31
• Unnamed mother — Named him Lin Yaoyao in his childhood; she was deceased by the time he prepared to enter the Spirit Creek Sect. 9 23

Story Role / Major Arcs

Liberation from the Bai Family

Yaoyao is introduced as Bai Yu's enslaved enforcer at Qi Condensation, Third Layer. After Su Hao defeats him and confronts Bai Yu, Yaoyao leaves with Su Hao and gains his first genuine chance to cultivate freely. 8

Rise Under Su Hao

Yaoyao guards Su Hao during his first alchemy attempt, refines the pills Su Hao provides, and advances to Qi Condensation, Fourth Layer. Su Hao then teaches him the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Demon Formula and brings him to the Immortal Sect selection. 9 17 18

At the selection, Yaoyao defeats Su Wuyong and openly defends Su Hao against Elder Zhang despite the elder's overwhelming status and cultivation. 18 19

Spirit Creek Sect

Yaoyao enters the neglected Eastern Branch with Su Hao. He perseveres through the pressure of the ninety-nine stone steps, obtains a broadsword from the Treasure Pavilion, and helps Su Hao survive the branch's harsh self-reliant conditions. 25 26 28

Assault and Recovery

After being attacked by Zhang Feng, Zhang Yuan, and their group, Yaoyao is left with severed tendons, shattered bones, a ruined dantian and qi sea, and stitches forcing his eyes open. His cultivation art keeps him alive until Su Hao treats him and later obtains medicine for his recovery. 31 40

After recovering, Yaoyao continues to stand beside Su Hao against Cloud Demon and later joins Xia Xiaojiu and Meng Xianxian in seeking Xiao Wuji's aid when Su Hao is sent to Snake Valley. 44 50
