Background and History

Lu Xuan arrived on the Douluo Continent at age six with memories of his previous life. A system gift pack remade his body and granted him innate full soul power, authorization for twin martial souls, mastery of spoken and written languages, and Huang Yaoshi’s template. The template gave him Peach Blossom Island’s knowledge and techniques, including the complete Nine Yin Manual. His initial martial souls were a Jade Flute and his own body, a rare Body Martial Soul 1.

Dugu Yan and Dugu Xin found him collapsed by the roadside and brought him to Ye Renxin for treatment. With no home or money, Lu Xuan persuaded Ye Renxin to take him in as a disciple. He learned the clinic’s medicinal ingredients within three days and could write simple prescriptions within a month 1 2.

When Ye Renxin revealed that the Nine Heart Begonia’s inheritance rule appeared to require his death before Ye Lingling could awaken it, Lu Xuan urged him to investigate alternatives. Their search for poisonous plants brought them to Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Lu Xuan obtained the bamboo shoot that evolved his flute martial soul 5 7 9.

Lu Xuan subsequently spent two years cultivating and researching herbs at the well. He refined tailored Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills for himself, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, as well as pills for members of the Ye and Dugu households 23 27.

Appearance

Lu Xuan’s appearance is described chiefly in terms of his age: at nine, cultivation had developed his physique enough that he and his companions could pass for twelve or thirteen. He is also described as handsome 31 43.

• His evolved flute martial soul is jet-black, with a faint, mysterious sheen 9.
• After gaining his External Soul Bone, his left eye can show subdued rose-colored dragon patterns 25.

Personality

Lu Xuan plans his cultivation carefully, choosing rings for their long-term compatibility rather than taking an immediate but weaker option. He delayed his second ring until he could withstand a Rainbow Dragon and trained his body before attempting the nearly ten-thousand-year Rouge Dragon ring 21 24 25.

He is grateful to the people who rescued and taught him, and shares medicines, resources, and techniques with those he trusts. Around Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, he is also playful, trading pranks with them during their outings 3 27 32 38. In combat he stays controlled, but he killed the three thugs who attacked his companions after judging that they had preyed on ordinary people 35 36.

Abilities and Skills

Twin Martial Souls and Huang Yaoshi Inheritance

Lu Xuan’s first martial soul evolved from the Jade Flute into the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Flute. His second martial soul is his own body, which he had not revealed publicly by the time he planned his second ring 1 9 20 21.

• Huang Yaoshi’s inheritance provides martial arts, internal cultivation, medicine, poison knowledge, formations, and other disciplines; it also includes the complete Nine Yin Manual 1.
• He uses the Nine Yin Manual to cultivate and strengthen his foundation. In combat, its penetrating force can break through defensive Soul Power 2 36.
• His system gift pack also granted mastery of spoken and written languages 1.

Flute Soul Skills

• First skill — Jade Flute Triple Melody / Fivefold Melody: Initially granted listeners attack, defense, and speed boosts equal to 20% of Lu Xuan’s attributes while he played; the effects disappeared within five minutes after he stopped. After his flute evolved, Jade Flute Fivefold Melody added Soul Power and mental-strength boosts, raised each boost to 25%, and doubled the benefits applied to Lu Xuan himself 5 10.
• Second skill — Rainbow Dragon Listening Melody: Stacks with his first skill. Used together, the melodies boost allies’ attributes by 50% and Lu Xuan’s by 100%; the boost lasts twenty minutes, then fades completely after another half hour. Activating both also tempers his body once per day, improving the age of ring he can withstand 24.
• Third skill — Rouge Silent Dragon Roar: Uses flute-borne annihilation power to weaken buffs and dissolve attacks. In a test, it removed half of Dugu Xin’s Strength Amplification and completely dispelled his poison-based Jade Phosphorus Breath 26.

Annihilation Crystal Eye

The Rouge Dragon ring granted Lu Xuan an ocular External Soul Bone in his left eye 25 26.

• Increases his mental strength by 50% and lets him choose which targets his soul skills affect 26.
• Grants detailed perception of Soul Power, plants, and energy circulating within other people 25.
• Releases Annihilation Light, a near-instant beam that destroyed a distant boulder in a demonstration but consumes substantial Soul Power 26.

Martial Arts and Medicine

• Lu Xuan wields his flute as a weapon through Jade Flute Swordplay, using precise strikes to subdue opponents, and uses Sky-Crossing Shift to evade attacks. He has also demonstrated Divine Finger Flick, Air-Splitting Palm, and the Falling Petal Divine Sword against the Hooligan Trio 35 36.
• Drawing on Huang Yaoshi’s knowledge and Ye Renxin’s teaching, he studies Immortal Herb combinations and refines pills and practical medicines. Dugu Xin helped test his experimental pills, whose early effects were unpredictable 12 23 46.
• He has taught body-tempering techniques to Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan and agreed to share more of his martial arts with trusted members of their families 24 37 38.

Equipment and Items

• Bracelet-shaped storage Soul Tool — A gift from Ye Renxin, initially stocked with money, books, and scrolls for Lu Xuan’s first soul-ring journey 3.
• Divine Black Jade Bamboo Flute — His evolved weapon martial soul, used both to play support melodies and to fight directly 9 35.
• Annihilation Crystal Eye Left Eye Soul Bone — An External Soul Bone obtained with his third ring 25 26.
• Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills — Immortal Herb pills Lu Xuan refined and tailored for himself, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan 23 27.

Relationships

• Ye Renxin — His medical master and guardian, whose generosity earned Lu Xuan’s loyalty. Lu Xuan sought ways to avert the Nine Heart Begonia inheritance crisis and later gave him pills for the family 2 3 5 27.
• Ye Lingling — Ye Renxin’s granddaughter and Lu Xuan’s close childhood companion. He taught her a body-tempering method; she later called him her future husband 2 24 36.
• Dugu Yan — Helped rescue Lu Xuan and became a close, sometimes teasing companion. He helped plan a martial-soul development path around her abilities and preferences 1 14 32.
• Dugu Xin — Helped bring Lu Xuan to safety, then assisted his medicinal research by testing experimental pills 6 23.
• Dugu Bo — Initially treated Lu Xuan cautiously at his herb garden, but came to value his advice and trust him as the two households grew close 7 14 27 37.
• Zhao Yan — Escorted Lu Xuan to obtain his first ring and later supplied rare soul-beast options for his second. Lu Xuan refers to him as Uncle Zhao 3 4 21.
• Ye Qingxian — A member of the Ye household whom Lu Xuan sought to help through his pill research; he also agreed to share his techniques with her 10 30 38.

Story Role and Major Arcs

• Suotuo City encounter: While accompanying Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, he defeats three Four-Ring Soul Ancestors using martial arts despite being a Soul Elder, revealing that his fighting ability extends well beyond support skills 35 36 37.
