Background

By the five-year milestone, Ye Lingling was accompanying the Imperial Battle Team alongside Dugu Yan and Yun Tian. She and Dugu Yan both sat closely beside Yun Tian, though her nervous hand movements showed that she was less openly forward than Dugu Yan. 21

Yun Tian later examined her traits with Destiny's Eye. Her Nine-Heart Begonia possessed exceptional healing potential, but its Lone Lineage restriction meant that no more than two inheritors could exist at once. 22

When Flender and Zhao Wuji sought her healing for Dai Mubai, Ye Lingling refused. She connected them to the Suotuo City incident and stated that helping Dai would amount to offending Sword Douluo Chen Xin. 44

Yun Tian gave Ye Lingling the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to refine while Dugu Bo guarded the area. During the process, Yun Tian altered her bloodline restriction, transforming Lone Lineage into Single Lineage Shared Transmission. 48 50

Afterward, Ye Lingling learned that the life-force drain affecting her mother had disappeared, confirming that the Nine-Heart Begonia clan's curse had been lifted. 53

Appearance

Ye Lingling is a fair-skinned girl with a cool, gentle demeanor, calm eyes, and a soft, ethereal voice. She is normally veiled, though she removed the veil while refining the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. 44 48 50

• Dresses in white. 44
• Has light cyan eyes. 50
• Her composed exterior gives way to visible blushing and embarrassment around Yun Tian. 50 53

Personality

Ye Lingling is reserved and polite, addressing senior figures formally and maintaining etiquette even when speaking to Dugu Bo. 51 She can also be firm when her principles or allies are involved; she directly rejected Flender and Zhao Wuji's request despite the pressure surrounding the situation. 44

Her feelings for Yun Tian make her markedly bolder. Though initially shy when he observed her, she openly stated that she would accommodate him if he wished to look at her. 22 She later initiated a kiss, became embarrassed afterward, and began deliberately seeking opportunities to stay physically close to him. 51 55

Abilities & Skills

Nine-Heart Begonia

Ye Lingling's martial soul is specialized entirely in healing. Its healing ceiling rises with her number of soul rings, allowing treatment of broken bones and severe internal injuries; at its highest level, it can save allies at the brink of death. 22

• Her healing soul skills do not diversify into non-healing abilities, regardless of the soul beast used for her rings. 55
• The martial soul was used to channel healing soul power into Dugu Yan during the latter's sudden bloodline reaction. 43
• As a support-system Soul Master, her physical endurance is comparatively limited; she became fatigued during the journey through Sunset Forest. 55

Nine-Heart Life-Birth

After refining the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Ye Lingling's former Nine-Heart Rebirth trait became Nine-Heart Life-Birth. 50

• Reduces soul-power consumption of healing skills by 20%. 50
• Increases healing efficiency by 20%. 50
• Her released vitality immediately relieved Yun Tian's fatigue and soul-power depletion after her transformation. 50

Single Lineage Shared Transmission

Yun Tian changed the Nine-Heart Begonia's Lone Lineage restriction into Single Lineage Shared Transmission. 50

• Removes the restriction limiting the world to two Nine-Heart Begonia inheritors. 50
• Allows members of the same clan to share vitality and divide the life-force loss caused by healing. 50
• The change halted the gradual loss of Ye Lingling's mother's soul power and vitality. 53

Flora Empathy

Ye Lingling has a natural compatibility with plants, life-attribute martial souls, and soul beasts. 22

• Slightly lowers soul-power consumption when absorbing soul rings. 22
• Makes life- or plant-type soul beasts particularly suitable choices for her soul rings. 51 55

Relationships

• Yun Tian — Teammate and the object of her openly developing affection. She trusts his guidance, kissed him after her breakthrough, and actively looks for chances to be close to him. 22 48 51 55
• Dugu Yan — Close companion and romantic rival for Yun Tian's attention. Ye Lingling worried for Dugu Yan during her bloodline reaction, while the two also tease and compete with one another. 43 55
• Dugu Bo — Dugu Yan's grandfather and a powerful protector who guarded Ye Lingling's herb refinement and accompanied her fourth soul-ring hunt. Ye Lingling treats him with formal respect. 48 51 55
• Flender and Zhao Wuji — They requested that she heal Dai Mubai, but Ye Lingling refused due to their connection to the Suotuo City incident and Sword Douluo. 44
• Ye Lingling's mother — A fellow Nine-Heart Begonia clan member whose life-force drain ceased after Ye Lingling's bloodline restriction was removed. 53

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Imperial Battle Team period: Accompanies the team with Dugu Yan and Yun Tian, while her closeness to Yun Tian contributes to Yu Tianheng's jealousy. 21
• Suotuo City aftermath: Rejects Flender and Zhao Wuji's appeal to heal Dai Mubai, choosing not to assist people tied to the conflict with Sword Douluo. 44
• Immortal-herb transformation: Refines the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid under Yun Tian's protection, strengthening her healing ability and breaking the Nine-Heart Begonia clan's lineage curse. 48 50
• Fourth soul-ring hunt: Reaches level 39 and enters Sunset Forest with Yun Tian, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo. Yun Tian identifies the Spirit Heart Jade Orchid and Azure Water Spirit Deer as suitable prospective soul beasts for her. 51 55 56
