Background

Lin Yu arrived in the Dou Qi Continent eighteen years before the story begins. After recognizing names and locations associated with Yao Lao's era, he concluded that he had transmigrated into the world he knew. He spent most of those years in the Shennong Mountains, cultivating, gathering herbs, and hunting magical beasts. 1

Eight years before meeting Yao Chen, Lin Yu awakened the Fusion Panel. Its Fusion Points allowed him to purchase items associated with the Battle Through the Heavens series, including a sixth-grade alchemist inheritance that supplied him with extensive theory, formulas, and refinement experience. He keeps the panel's existence secret. 1

Appearance

Lin Yu is a notably youthful-looking man, described as appearing only eighteen or nineteen even after achieving a level of alchemy that astonishes veteran practitioners. 1 14

• Dark, pitch-black eyes. 10 28
• Commonly wears green robes during his later travels. 43
• Used a broad black robe and hood to conceal his identity during the defense of the Feng Family. 11 13

Personality

Lin Yu is calm, observant, and calculating. His foreknowledge makes him especially attentive to people such as Yao Chen, Hu Jiujiu, and Feng Xian, but he generally avoids revealing how much he knows. 2 8

He is protective toward those he accepts as his own. He shields Yao Chen from Yao Lan, aids the Feng Family despite knowing its future destruction, and gives Yao Chen a Bone Spirit Cold Flame Nascent Flame without demanding repayment. 8 10 36

Lin Yu is also confident in both cultivation and alchemy. When warned to stay away from Hu Jiujiu because of her cultivation art, he answers not with negotiation but with a vow to become a Dou Saint. 22
