Background
Ye Renxin is the patriarch of the Nine-Heart Begonia Clan, whose martial soul has been inherited for more than a thousand years. He is a renowned physician and a support-type Soul Master; while knowledgeable and respected, he depends on allies for soul-beast hunts because he possesses no combat power of his own 18.
The Nine-Heart Begonia lineage is bound by a curse: only two wielders may exist at once, and the birth of one requires another family member's death. Ye Renxin's father willingly died before his birth, while his mother followed in grief soon afterward. When Ye Ziyi was born, Ye Renxin's grandfather died 19.
He became Dugu Bo's long-standing friend, sharing an unspoken understanding over the burdens carried by their respective families. Dugu Bo helped him obtain his Soul Sage ring, leaving Ye Renxin indebted to him 16 18 22 26.
Following Ye Ziyi's mutation into Sacred Heart Begonia, Ye Renxin believes that the inherited curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia lineage has been cast off. The mutation allows his daughter to escape the restriction that had condemned generations of their family to early deaths 37.
After his breakthrough to Titled Douluo, Ye Renxin's status as a healing Soul Master becomes politically dangerous. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may consider him a threat to its claim of possessing the world's number one support martial soul, requiring him to rely on Titled Douluo protection despite his own cultivation 73.
The rivalry later becomes an actual assassination attempt. Ning Fengzhi, believing Ye Renxin to be a Soul Douluo, sends Gu Rong to deal with him to preserve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's prestige. Ye Renxin survives with the help of his soul bones until Dugu Bo intervenes 93 94.
His lifetime of treating injured Soul Masters has also created an extensive network of obligations and connections. Xia Mu regards that reputation as political leverage, since exposing the attack on a renowned healer would damage the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's standing throughout the Soul Master world 95.
By the time he is known as the rank-95 Begonia Douluo, Ye Renxin serves as one of the Holy Spirit Cult's two honored elders, specializing in medicine while the other specializes in poison 148.
Appearance
Ye Renxin is an older, white-haired man. He is over fifty but not yet sixty during the period following his advancement to Soul Sage 26 34 37.
- White hair 26
- Elderly patriarch of the Ye Family 18 37
- His vitality is described as declining with age despite his Soul Sage cultivation 34
- After becoming a Titled Douluo, he carries himself with the refined and trustworthy temperament of an accomplished master 74
- When activating his Martial Soul Bone Armor Avatar through his seventh soul skill, his six soul bones emit unusual radiance and transform into a suit of battle armor 95
Personality
Ye Renxin is learned, perceptive, and generous with his knowledge. On meeting the Xia Family, he immediately recognizes Xia Feng's unusually strong vitality, dense soul power, and solid foundation. He also appreciates Xia Mu's knowledge of immortal herbs and gifts him the Immortal Herb Catalogue to encourage his curiosity about medicinal herbs 18.
He is also shrewd and pragmatic. His proposed marriage alliance between Ye Ziyi and Xia Mu is motivated by the families' commercial ties, his daughter's affection, Xia Mu's extraordinary potential, and the need to secure the Ye Family's future after his death 34 37.
As a father, Ye Renxin is deeply protective of Ye Ziyi. He hides the clan curse from her so she can live happily, but openly weeps when Xia Mu's gift offers the possibility of ending the curse in her generation 19 37.
Although compassionate as a physician, Ye Renxin is capable of acting decisively to protect his family and secrets. After Liu Erlong and her mother use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's name to seek treatment without payment, he cures the mother but requires Liu Erlong to serve Ye Ziyi as a guard for ten years and keep his Titled Douluo breakthrough secret 74 75.
His pragmatism includes political restraint. After Gu Rong's failed assassination attempt, he opposes Xia Mu's proposal to immediately massacre the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, warning that the other Upper Three Sects could retaliate and that Spirit Hall might use the incident to label their group evil Soul Masters 94.
That restraint does not prevent him from employing intimidation when he considers it justified. At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he asserts that the attack on him gives him and Dugu Bo grounds to demand justice, and supports forcing Ning Fengzhi to pay substantial compensation 96.
Ye Renxin remains modest about his cultivation opportunities. Despite possessing a complete soul-bone set and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, he praises Yue Guan and Gui Mei's prospects because they also possess hundred-thousand-year soul bones, which he lacks 97.
His healing is not restricted to benevolent uses. During Xia Mu's soul-bone hunting campaign, he repeatedly heals restrained soul beasts so the group can prolong their suffering and increase their resentment before killing them 98.
Abilities & Skills
Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul
Ye Renxin possesses the hereditary Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul, an immortal-herb martial soul renowned for its support capabilities.
- Functions as an auxiliary-type martial soul rather than a combat-oriented one 18 25.
- Its exceptional effects are tied to the clan's curse, which limits the world to two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters at a time 19 37.
- His lack of offensive ability requires him to rely on companions during soul-ring hunts and battles, even after becoming a Titled Douluo 18 78.
- Its healing capabilities grow with every soul ring; at the Titled Douluo realm, it can revive the dead and regrow flesh upon bones 74.
- Possesses the Ultimate Wood attribute, which is associated with its extraordinary healing abilities 38 61.
- All of its soul skills serve the same fundamental purpose of healing, rather than providing the varied combat functions of other martial souls 74.
- His nine-ring configuration is two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red 83.
- Although the martial soul itself remains non-offensive, his soul-bone skills and later Bone Armor Avatar compensate for some of his vulnerability 94 95.
Healing and Support
As a healing-type Titled Douluo and renowned physician, Ye Renxin is valued as a safeguard during dangerous expeditions.
- Xia Feng specifically seeks his aid for a sixty-thousand-year soul-beast hunt because he can save the group from severe injuries 25.
- He joins Dugu Bo, Xia Feng, and Liu Yuer's expedition as part of the team that secures their sixth soul rings 26.
- His medical discernment lets him evaluate Xia Feng's physical condition and cultivation foundation at a glance 18.
- He fully restores Xia Mu's exhausted Soul Power after Xia Mu defeats the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, allowing him to absorb its soul ring 45.
- He heals the defeated Yue Guan and Gui Mei with Healing Light after their capture by Xia Mu's group 79.
- He completely heals Tuoba Xuanfeng after the latter is captured, contributing to Tuoba Xuanfeng's submission to Xia Mu 83.
- At Dugu Bo's request, he restores most of Gu Rong's injuries after the failed assassination attempt, keeping the attacker alive for questioning 94.
- He repeatedly heals captured spider-type soul beasts during the group's effort to produce soul bones through extreme resentment 98.
- His ninth soul skill assists Liu Yuer's regeneration of flesh and an arm during her fusion with new hundred-thousand-year-class soul bones 133.
- He repairs Tang Hao's damaged meridians and bones with his ninth soul skill, but cannot reverse the backlash caused by damaged soul rings and Ring Detonation. Tang Hao must refrain from using Soul Power while recuperating 151.
Resurrection Skills
Ye Renxin gains exceptionally powerful resurrection abilities through the Blue Silver King torso bone and his hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring.
- Spring Breeze Brings New Life — A healing skill granted by the eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King torso bone. It can revive the dead and may also be used on Ye Renxin himself, but only once per year; its use depletes all of the user's Soul Power and requires a full year of recovery 62.
- Healing Light — One of his ninth soul skills. It possesses overwhelming restorative power, capable of reviving the dead and regenerating flesh from bone 74 79.
- Nirvana Divine Light — One of his ninth soul skills. It allows a dying target to undergo rebirth through nirvana, cleansing even otherwise incurable diseases; Ye Renxin uses it to cure Liu Erlong's mother 74.
Soul-Bone Skills and Self-Protection
Before completing his soul-bone set, Ye Renxin survives Gu Rong's attack by combining the defensive and restorative effects of five absorbed soul bones 94.
- Blue Silver King torso bone — Provides exceptional self-healing, in addition to its restricted resurrection skill 62 94.
- Star-Attracting Vine right arm bone — Draws in moonlight essence and contributes to his unusually strong recovery 69 94.
- Sunflower left leg bone — Draws in the essence of the sun and contributes to his recovery 69 94.
- Rouge Python skull bone — Enhances spiritual power, possesses a charm-type skill, and enables resistance to mental attacks 69 94.
- Scarlet Flame Thorn right leg bone — Supplies offensive power described as comparable to that of a Soul Emperor, despite his martial soul's lack of offensive skills 94.
Begonia Sacred Armor
After absorbing the eighty-nine-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca left arm bone, Ye Renxin possesses a complete set of six soul bones and awakens the Martial Soul Bone Armor Avatar, also associated with the Begonia Sacred Armor 95.
- Activated through his seventh soul skill, transforming his six soul bones into battle armor 95.
- Gives him meaningful self-protection and the ability to fight through the combination of his Soul Power and soul bones 95.
- Increases his cultivation speed to nearly twice its previous rate 95.
- Identified by Xia Mu as the embryonic form of Destiny Divine Battle Armor, rather than a fully developed divine armor 95.
- Possesses the potential to evolve into Destiny Divine Battle Armor and support a future breakthrough to the Demigod realm 95.
- Its development is constrained by the quality of its component bones. Xia Mu concludes that true Destiny Divine Battle Armor requires at least a hundred-thousand-year torso or skull bone, while armor formed from lower-grade bones would require vast Divine Power to nurture and could retain foundational flaws 95.
Medicinal Herb Expertise
Ye Renxin is highly knowledgeable about immortal herbs, their handling, and their use in cultivation.
- Compiled or possesses a detailed Immortal Herb Catalogue, which he gives Xia Mu at their first meeting 18.
- Warns that immortal herbs can be harmful if harvested or consumed without proper knowledge 18.
- Spends much of his remaining time searching markets for rare medicinal-herb seeds 34.
- Correctly identifies the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and explains its value for strengthening an auxiliary Soul Master's foundation and vitality 37.
- Purchases an eighty-seven-thousand-year Velvet Vajra Chrysanthemum at the Heaven Dou Auction, initially intending to cultivate it into a suitable ninth-ring soul beast 77.
- His reputation as a healer and knowledge of medicinal plants is widespread enough that even Yue Guan recognizes the political consequences of killing him 78.
- His expertise and shared interest in immortal herbs become the basis of a close friendship with Yue Guan after the latter joins Xia Mu 97.
Equipment / Items
- Immortal Herb Catalogue — A catalogue of immortal herbs given to Xia Mu as a first-meeting gift 18.
- Soul tool — Used to carry the Immortal Herb Catalogue 18.
- Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid — Received from Xia Mu as the Xia Family's bride price in the marriage alliance, then consumed to raise his Soul Power from level 73 to level 75 and improve his cultivation aptitude 37 38.
- Eighty-Five-Thousand-Year Blue Silver King Torso Bone — Absorbed before his eighth soul ring; grants the resurrection skill Spring Breeze Brings New Life 62.
- Three inherited ten-thousand-year soul bones — Absorbed from the Ye Family's inherited foundation to raise his cultivation from level 86 to level 88 before his final breakthrough 69.
- Rouge Python skull bone — An inherited bone that enhances spiritual power and grants a charm-type skill; later contributes to his resistance to Gu Rong's mental attacks 69 94.
- Sixty-Three-Thousand-Year Sunflower Left Leg Bone — Draws in solar essence and aids recovery 69 94.
- Fifty-Nine-Thousand-Year Star-Attracting Vine Right Arm Bone — Draws in moonlight essence and aids recovery 69 94.
- Scarlet Flame Thorn Right Leg Bone — An absorbed bone present during Gu Rong's assassination attempt; gives him Soul Emperor-level offensive power 94.
- Forty-Eight-Thousand-Year Ghost Vine Right Leg Bone — A Ye Family heirloom possessing a parasitic-type skill. Ye Renxin discusses making it available to Xia Mu for a suitable follower, and later gives it to Xia Mu in exchange for the Evil Spirit Orca left arm bone 69 76 95.
- Eighty-Nine-Thousand-Year Evil Spirit Orca Left Arm Bone — Given to him by Xia Mu. Its absorption raises him from level 91 to level 92, completes his six soul-bone slots, and triggers the formation of his Bone Armor Avatar 95.
- Begonia Sacred Armor — Battle armor formed from his complete soul-bone set; an embryonic Destiny Divine Battle Armor with a potential path toward the Demigod realm 95.
- Velvet Vajra Chrysanthemum — An eighty-seven-thousand-year spirit plant acquired at auction. It later becomes part of Xia Mu's rewards for Yue Guan after the former Spirit Hall elder submits 77 83. After cultivation and evolution into a hundred-thousand-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, it sacrifices itself to Yue Guan and enables his Titled Douluo breakthrough 86.
By the distribution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's compensation, all six of Ye Renxin's soul-bone slots are filled. He declines further bones from the spoils and notes that none of his absorbed bones is a hundred-thousand-year soul bone 97.
Relationships
- Ye Ziyi — His cherished daughter. He seeks to secure her future through a marriage alliance with Xia Mu, hopes to free her from the Nine-Heart Begonia curse, and later gains Liu Erlong as her ten-year guard 19 34 37 75.
- Dugu Bo — Long-time friend and frequent ally. Their friendship is marked by teasing, mutual trust, and an understanding of their families' respective burdens; Dugu Bo helps Ye Renxin secure his Soul Sage ring, protects him during soul-beast hunts, and fights beside him against the Blue Silver King 16 18 22 26 62. He later saves Ye Renxin from Gu Rong's assassination attempt, encourages him to complete his soul-bone set, and accompanies him to demand compensation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect 94 95 96.
- Xia Mu — His son-in-law through Ye Ziyi's marriage. Ye Renxin first encourages Xia Mu's interest in immortal herbs, later recognizes his extraordinary talent, accepts his gifts with gratitude, and receives Xia Mu's assistance in becoming a Titled Douluo 18 37 69 70 85. Xia Mu subsequently gives him the left arm bone that completes his armor and identifies its potential for divine evolution; Ye Renxin serves as an honored elder in Xia Mu's Holy Spirit Cult 95 148.
- Xia Feng and Liu Yuer — Allied family friends who strengthen ties with the Ye Family through visits, gifts, medicinal-herb trade, and joint expeditions 22 25 28. Ye Renxin later assists Liu Yuer's regeneration during the replacement of her arm soul bones 133.
- Dugu Xin — Connected through the Ye and Dugu Families' close relationship; Ye Renxin accompanies Dugu Bo and the Xia Family after their successful soul-hunting expedition 26.
- Liu Erlong — He cures her mother's otherwise fatal disease using his ninth soul skills. In return for the deception used to obtain treatment and to preserve secrecy around his breakthrough, Liu Erlong agrees to serve Ye Ziyi as a guard for ten years 74 75. Ye Renxin later stands among the powerful figures whose presence prevents Yu Luomian from disrupting her marriage to Xia Mu 86.
- Yue Guan and Gui Mei — Their attempted robbery of Ye Renxin's Velvet Vajra Chrysanthemum leads to their defeat and submission to Xia Mu. Ye Renxin subsequently heals both former Spirit Hall elders, demonstrating the power of his ninth soul ring 78 79. Afterward, he and Yue Guan become close friends through their immortal-herb martial souls and shared interests, and both former elders participate with him in Xia Mu's soul-bone hunting campaign 97 98.
- Ah Rou — Her coerced hundred-thousand-year sacrifice becomes Ye Renxin's ninth soul ring and enables his ascent to Titled Douluo. He declines the soul bone produced by her sacrifice, allowing it to be given to Liu Yuer instead 69 70.
- Ning Fengzhi — A rival who fears that the Nine-Heart Begonia will undermine the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's claim to the foremost support martial soul. Ning Fengzhi sends Gu Rong to deal with Ye Renxin, later pays compensation under pressure from Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo, and privately vows revenge against them 93 96.
- Gu Rong — Attempts to assassinate him and seize his five absorbed soul bones. After Dugu Bo defeats the attacker, Ye Renxin heals him to preserve his life for interrogation and retaliation against his sect 94.
- Tang Hao and Tang Zhen — Despite the hostility between the Clear Sky Sect and the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Renxin treats Tang Hao after Tang Zhen agrees to pay two ten-thousand-year soul bones, one as compensation for Ge Long and one for the healer. He restores Tang Hao's bodily injuries but warns that the damage caused by Ring Detonation requires continued recuperation 151.
- Lin Ke — A physician who acknowledges Ye Renxin as an unsurpassed figure among healing Soul Masters and recommends seeking his assistance for Tang Hao's severed meridians 148.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Meeting Xia Mu
Ye Renxin meets Xia Mu at the Dugu Estate while visiting Dugu Bo. Impressed by Xia Mu's knowledge of immortal herbs, he gifts the boy the Immortal Herb Catalogue, an act that helps Xia Mu pursue the treasures of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well 18.
Nine-Heart Begonia Curse
During Ye Ziyi's meeting with Xia Mu, Ye Renxin's family history is revealed. He accepts that his own death will follow once Ye Ziyi marries and bears children, viewing a carefree life for his daughter as the best blessing he can offer 19.
Soul Sage Advancement and Alliance
Ye Renxin advances from level 69 to Soul Sage and joins the Xia Family and Dugu Bo's alliance. He provides healing support during the hunt for sixty-thousand-year soul beasts, then remains trustworthy when Liu Yuer obtains the Queen Medusa's skull bone 22 25 26 27.
Marriage Alliance and Breaking the Curse
Seeking protection and stability for the Ye Family, Ye Renxin proposes Ye Ziyi's engagement to Xia Mu. Xia Mu accepts on the condition that they marry after he turns eighteen, and presents the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid as bride price and Aromatic Silk Beauty as Ye Ziyi's engagement gift 37.
After Ye Ziyi consumes Aromatic Silk Beauty, her Nine-Heart Begonia mutates into Sacred Heart Begonia. The mutation gives her ultimate wood and ultimate light attributes, changes her into a control-type Soul Master, and convinces Ye Renxin that the Ye Family's inherited curse has been cast off 37.
Ye Renxin subsequently celebrates the discovery of Ye Ziyi and Xia Mu's Martial Soul Fusion Skill. He consumes the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, reaches level 75, and arranges to join Dugu Bo's group in obtaining Ye Ziyi's fourth soul ring 38 39.
Soul Douluo Advancement and Blue Silver King Hunt
After refining divine power released at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Ye Renxin breaks through to Soul Douluo. Xia Mu subsequently selects an eighty-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King as an eighth-ring soul beast suited to Ye Renxin's ultimate wood attribute 58 59 61.
Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo defeat the Blue Silver King together. Ye Renxin absorbs its torso bone and eighth soul ring, reaching level 85 and gaining Spring Breeze Brings New Life, a restricted resurrection skill 62.
He initially wants to reserve the torso bone for Ye Ziyi, but accepts Dugu Bo's warning that he needs it to safely absorb the powerful soul ring. Afterward, the two collect surviving ten-thousand-year Blue Silver Kings for future cultivation, medicine, and soul rings 62.
Ascension to Titled Douluo
To help Ye Renxin overcome the final gap to Titled Douluo, Xia Mu has him absorb three inherited ten-thousand-year soul bones from the Ye Family's foundation, raising him to level 88 69.
Xia Mu then forces Ah Rou, a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit, to sacrifice herself by threatening Xiao Wu. The sacrifice becomes Ye Renxin's ninth soul ring, allowing him to reach level 91 as a Titled Douluo. He refuses the soul bone from the sacrifice, which is instead given to Liu Yuer 69 70.
Saving Liu Erlong's Mother
Liu Erlong and her mother use the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's name to seek Ye Renxin's treatment. Ye Renxin recognizes that the mother's disease has spread deep into her body and uses both Healing Light and Nirvana Divine Light to cure her completely 74.
Because Liu Erlong had obtained his aid through deception and because the use of his ninth soul skills risks exposing his breakthrough, Ye Renxin requires her to serve Ye Ziyi for ten years and keep his Titled Douluo status secret. Liu Erlong accepts the arrangement out of gratitude and filial devotion 75.
The Ye Family also agrees to supply cultivation resources during her service. Ye Renxin considers the recruitment a valuable opportunity to acquire an exceptionally talented combat Soul Master whom the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has neglected 75.
Velvet Vajra Chrysanthemum Ambush
Ye Renxin purchases an eighty-seven-thousand-year Velvet Vajra Chrysanthemum at the Heaven Dou Auction, attracting Yue Guan's hostility. Yue Guan and Gui Mei attempt to rob him while he travels with Dugu Bo and Xia Mu, believing Ye Renxin's lack of offensive power makes him an easy target 77 78.
Dugu Bo protects Ye Renxin while Xia Mu defeats the pair. Ye Renxin then uses Healing Light to restore the captured Spirit Hall elders, whose shock at his hundred-thousand-year soul ring contributes to their eventual submission to Xia Mu 79.
His winning auction bid is one hundred and fifty million Gold Soul Coins. His reputation discourages further bids, including from Ning Fengzhi, who is reluctant to openly offend such a well-connected healer 77.
Ye Ziyi's Marriage
A year and a half after the major developments surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Ye Ziyi marries Xia Mu alongside Shui Qingwu, Zhu Qingyue, Liu Erlong, Ling Yuan, and Nan Boer. The marriage formally consolidates the alliance between the Xia and Ye Families 85.
At the wedding, Ye Renxin joins Dugu Bo, Xia Feng, Liu Yuer, and other powerful guests in watching Yu Luomian's confrontation with Liu Erlong. Their presence helps prevent Yu Luomian from disrupting the ceremony 86.
Gu Rong's Assassination Attempt
Ning Fengzhi learns that Ye Renxin has supposedly reached Soul Douluo and fears that his further advancement will threaten the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's prestige. He sends Gu Rong down the mountain to deal with him, while Gu Rong also covets Ye Renxin's medicinal treasure and absorbed soul bones as resources for his own breakthrough 93 94.
Dugu Bo arrives at the Ye estate to share news about his family and discovers the ongoing attack. Ye Renxin has survived through the restorative, defensive, and limited offensive abilities of his five soul bones, but admits that he could not have held out much longer. Dugu Bo defeats Gu Rong with Explosive Flame Dragon Bullet and has Ye Renxin heal the captive for questioning 94.
When Xia Mu returns and proposes destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Renxin warns against an immediate massacre because of the risk of coordinated retaliation and condemnation by Spirit Hall 94.
Forging the Begonia Sacred Armor
The group chooses to seek compensation rather than begin a premature war. Xia Mu initially sets the demand at two ten-thousand-year soul bones and five hundred million Gold Soul Coins, emphasizing that Ye Renxin's standing as a healer gives them substantial leverage 95.
To address Ye Renxin's vulnerability, Xia Mu gives him an eighty-nine-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca left arm bone in exchange for a Ghost Vine right leg bone. Ye Renxin initially hesitates to accept such a valuable gift, but Dugu Bo persuades him that it is necessary for self-defense and further cultivation 95.
After two hours of absorption, Ye Renxin reaches level 92 and completes his six soul-bone slots. His bones transform into the Martial Soul Bone Armor Avatar when he activates his seventh soul skill. Xia Mu identifies the armor as an embryonic Destiny Divine Battle Armor, while Ye Renxin discovers that his cultivation speed has nearly doubled. The development gives him a potential route toward the Demigod realm 95.
Compensation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin travel to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and confront Ning Fengzhi. Both reveal their Titled Douluo status and hundred-thousand-year soul rings, exposing the extent of Ning Fengzhi's misjudgment. Ye Renxin argues that the sect's prior offense places them on the side of justice even if they resort to destroying it 96.
The final demand exceeds the group's initial plan: one billion Gold Soul Coins and five ten-thousand-year soul bones. Ning Fengzhi pays to preserve the sect, and Dugu Bo returns the injured Gu Rong before the pair leave with a warning against any repeat offense. Ning Fengzhi privately swears to kill them both 96.
When Xia Mu distributes the five soul bones, Ye Renxin declines a share because his own slots are already filled. The bones instead strengthen Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei, while Ye Renxin's friendship with Yue Guan grows through their common interests in immortal herbs 97.
Spider Emperor Soul-Bone Hunts
Ye Renxin accompanies Xia Mu, Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei in a six-month campaign against powerful spider-type soul beasts in Sunset Forest. Xia Mu targets beasts with Soul Cores, while the group restrains and repeatedly torments them to intensify their resentment 98.
Ye Renxin's role is to heal the beasts between rounds of torture, preventing them from dying before sufficient resentment accumulates. The group kills twelve powerful Spider Emperors and obtains eight ten-thousand-year soul bones. Their subsequent activities bring them into contact with Bibi Dong and her Spirit Hall escorts, She Long and Ci Xue 98 99.
Super Douluo and Holy Spirit Cult Healer
Dugu Bo later confirms that Ye Renxin has reached level 95 Super Douluo. His medical standing remains exceptional: as Begonia Douluo and an honored elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, he is considered the healer most capable of resolving injuries beyond the ability of ordinary physicians 120 148.
He also assists Liu Yuer during her fusion with the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right arm bone and the two-hundred-thousand-year Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King left arm bone. His ninth soul skill supports the regeneration of flesh and a new arm, remedying her earlier weakness and helping her complete her own soul-bone armor 133.
Treating Tang Hao
After Tang Hao is badly injured in a confrontation with Ge Long, physician Lin Ke declares his severed meridians beyond ordinary treatment and recommends the rank-95 Begonia Douluo. Tang Yuehua resolves to seek Ye Renxin's help despite the expense and the humiliation of appealing to the hostile Holy Spirit Cult 148.
Tang Zhen ultimately negotiates with Xia Mu and Ge Long, offering two ten-thousand-year soul bones—one as compensation for Ge Long and one for the healer. With Xia Mu's permission, Ye Renxin uses his ninth soul skill to restore Tang Hao's injuries, meridians, and bones 151.
Ye Renxin explains that physical restoration does not reverse the aftereffects of damage to Tang Hao's soul rings. The Soul Power exhaustion and backlash from Ring Detonation require recuperation, during which Tang Hao must avoid using Soul Power 151.
Trivia
- Ye Renxin is older than Dugu Bo by approximately ten years 18 34.
- Dugu Bo refers to him as an “old white-haired fellow” 26.
- Although he initially treats immortal herbs as legends when speaking to Xia Mu, he is overwhelmed when he finally sees the genuine Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid 18 37.
- His Nine-Heart Begonia has no offensive power despite becoming a Titled Douluo, making trusted combat-oriented protectors such as Dugu Bo especially important to his safety 73 78. His soul bones later provide limited offense and an armor form that improves his self-protection 94 95.
- Yue Guan and Gui Mei are stunned to learn that Ye Renxin possesses a hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring, having previously believed such treasures were nearly unattainable 79.
- Despite possessing a complete six-bone set, he has no hundred-thousand-year soul bone when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's compensation is distributed 97.
- Dugu Bo compares his Bone Armor Avatar to armor seen on the Clear Sky Douluo and Angel Douluo, regarding it as an opportunity associated with the highest-level experts 95.
- Physician Lin Ke describes him as a towering, unsurpassable figure among healing-type Soul Masters 148.
