Power Progression

Background and History

Ye Renxin treated six-year-old Lu Xuan after Dugu Yan brought him to the Ye family clinic. He accepted Lu Xuan as a disciple and taught him medicine, despite having little time before his granddaughter Ye Lingling’s martial-soul awakening 1 2. Under the Nine Heart Begonia’s inheritance rule, only two living people could bear the martial soul at once. Ye Renxin expected that either he or his daughter Ye Qingxian would have to die for Lingling to inherit it 2 5.

Lu Xuan’s proposals prompted Ye Renxin to seek another way. At Dugu Bo’s Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he studied rare herbs, prepared a drug that would imitate death, and investigated a poison that could weaken a Nine Heart Begonia 6 8 11. Ye Qingxian chose to take the Spirit-Shattering Thornflower rather than let her father damage his martial soul 12. Ye Renxin tested medicine on himself and entered a deathlike state; he later awoke to learn that Lingling had awakened twin martial souls, including a Seven-Heart Begonia 15 16.

He subsequently welcomed cooperation with the Dugu family to help protect the families’ gifted children 16. After his recovery and further cultivation, he pursued a suitable ninth soul ring rather than rush a breakthrough 23 29.

Supporting the families’ cultivation

During the two years following Lingling’s awakening, Ye Renxin and Zhao Yan helped Dugu Bo secure a ninety-thousand-year Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor as his ninth soul ring 23. Ye Renxin also guarded Lu Xuan during the absorption of his Rouge Dragon third soul ring and witnessed the appearance of his eye-type external soul bone 25 27.

When Lu Xuan distributed his newly refined pills, Ye Renxin initially tried to return two of the three allotted to the Ye family, believing that his disciple had already given them too much. Lu Xuan insisted that he take one and preserve the other two for future generations 27. The pill substantially improved Ye Renxin’s foundation, while another restored Ye Qingxian’s martial soul and the vital essence damaged by its regression. Her recovery relieved a longstanding concern: Ye Renxin had previously diagnosed that damage as the reason she had been unable to conceive another child 29 30.

Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo continued planning the elders’ soul-ring hunts while keeping the three children’s safety in mind. They agreed that the dangerous and potentially lengthy search for ninth soul rings should not include Lu Xuan, Ye Lingling, or Dugu Yan 38 40. During Ye Qingxian’s seventh-ring hunt, she offered him the soul bone left by her Blue Silver King. Although he initially refused to take his daughter’s opportunity, he accepted after she argued that it would strengthen his body for a future hundred-thousand-year ring absorption 45.

While waiting in Suotuo City for Dugu Bo and Zhao Yan, Ye Renxin led the family to the city’s once-in-a-decade auction. He recognized several notable soul masters, including Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Shi Nian, and privately warned his companions to remain alert 47. At the auction, he purchased an Azure Jade Bird Ornament for 2,100 Gold Soul Coins after he and Lu Xuan suspected its connection to a hundred-thousand-year Azure Jade Bird. They also recognized the cultivation potential of the young plant-type soul beasts displayed there 49.

Ninth soul ring and Zhao Yan’s recovery

Dugu Bo and Zhao Yan returned from Star Dou Forest gravely wounded, with Zhao Yan having lost his left arm while protecting Dugu Bo. Ye Renxin joined Ye Qingxian and Lu Xuan in treating them. He explained that restoring the arm required him to reach Titled Douluo and obtain a suitable left arm soul bone from a soul beast at least ten thousand years old 51.

Although the injury made his breakthrough urgent, Lu Xuan persuaded him not to compromise on his ninth ring. Ye Renxin agreed to pursue the ninety-five-thousand-year Blue Silver King with Dugu Bo and then seek the necessary arm bone 51. During the expedition, the Blue Silver King broke its agreement with him, and Dugu Bo defeated its poisonous soul beasts 73.

The group subsequently encountered a dying hundred-thousand-year Lone Bamboo Emperor. Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin agreed to preserve and nurture its origin seeds so that its bloodline would continue. The Lone Bamboo Emperor sacrificed itself to Ye Renxin, granting him his ninth soul ring and enabling his Titled Douluo breakthrough 73.

The sacrifice also produced the Myriad Silence Bamboo Heart Torso Bone. Ye Renxin initially saved it for his granddaughter or disciple rather than absorb it himself 73. During the later distribution of soul bones, Lu Xuan and the two girls declined the rarest treasures, and Lu Xuan returned the torso bone to Ye Renxin as its most suitable recipient 76.

Ye Renxin gave Zhao Yan the fifty-seven-thousand-year Blazing Ash Left Arm Bone for his recovery and later used the Nine Heart Begonia’s enhanced healing power to restore his severed arm 76 80.

Later teaching and medical work

After hearing how Lu Xuan had obtained the Azure Jade Bird’s inner core, Ye Renxin explained two ways to refine it. Lu Xuan chose the method that would distribute its power among all four of his soul rings, and Ye Renxin taught him the Ye family’s secret Ring Fusion art 80 81. He later accepted a forty-thousand-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox head soul bone from his disciple 88.

Ye Renxin continued overseeing the Ye Family Medical Hall with Ye Qingxian and planned to study the gold of life and its possible applications 96. At Lu Xuan’s request, he also helped heal and nurture the Tree of Life and Blue Silver Emperor at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 97. By the time he reached level 95, practicing medicine remained both his lifelong passion and a means of cultivating his state of mind 99.

He guarded Lu Xuan while the latter refined his personal Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, remaining ready to intervene if the medicine went out of control. He suspected that the disciple’s evolving flute had attained god-tier status, but initially did not recognize the accompanying bodily changes as evidence of a second martial soul 100. When Lu Xuan subsequently confirmed his twin martial souls, Ye Renxin expressed no resentment at the earlier concealment 103.

Lu Xuan then revealed that he, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan had received divine inheritances. Ye Renxin instructed all three to keep the matter secret from everyone, including their families, until they became gods 104. He later accompanied the group on another soul-ring hunt, supported Lu Xuan’s plan to guide a fifty-thousand-year Ginseng King through a sacrifice for Lingling, and witnessed Lu Xuan’s advancement to level sixty after absorbing his fifth ring 108 109 110.

Abilities and Skills

Medicine and herb knowledge

• Identified rare plants at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and advised Dugu Bo on herbs that could address his family’s inherited poison 8 9.
• Prepared a Fake Death Drug that suppresses heartbeat, blood flow, consciousness, and mental fluctuations. Without its specific antidote, the user remains deathlike for seven days before gradually reviving; Ye Renxin was uncertain whether it could evade the Begonia’s inheritance restriction 11.
• Assessed the children’s physical limits before unusually old soul-ring absorptions and examined Dugu Yan’s materialized martial soul after its evolution 17 19 20.
• Recommended soul beasts based on a soul master’s martial soul, existing skills, and intended fighting style 3 43.
• Knew the specialized harvesting methods needed to preserve rare herbs’ medicinal properties and personally harvested the Divine Black Jade Bamboo Shoot for Lu Xuan 8.
• Diagnosed the damage to Ye Qingxian’s vital essence caused by martial-soul regression, while recognizing that he could not heal it without first repairing the martial soul 30.
• Possessed medical skill ranked among the finest on the Douluo Continent and was widely recognized by prominent soul masters 47.
• Explained how an Azure Jade Bird inner core could nourish a matching soul ring and external soul bone, or have its energy distributed among multiple rings through Ring Fusion 81.
• Was proposed by Lu Xuan as the person to publicize whale rubber’s ability to strengthen the body and raise soul-ring absorption limits 89.
• Planned further research into the gold of life 96.

Nine Heart Begonia and healing

Before obtaining his hundred-thousand-year ninth ring, Ye Renxin’s soul rings all strengthened a single ability: large-scale group healing. The Nine Heart Begonia’s healing power increased with the number of soul rings rather than providing a different ordinary skill for each ring. His Lone Bamboo Emperor ring granted a second, non-healing soul skill, making him the first Nine Heart Begonia soul master recorded as possessing a hundred-thousand-year ring 80 81.

• As a Titled Douluo, could restore a severed limb with the aid of a suitable soul bone, as demonstrated by Zhao Yan’s left-arm restoration 51 76 80.
• Applied his healing to plant-type soul beasts, helping the Tree of Life and Blue Silver Emperor flourish at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 97.
• Explained that his limb-restoration ability could enable a Titled Douluo to replace an existing limb soul bone and corresponding soul ring. Severing such a limb would cost ten cultivation levels and a ring; after restoration with a new bone, a replacement ring from a soul beast of the same species as the original could restore the lost cultivation while providing stronger abilities. Dugu Bo considered using this method, but had not carried it out at that point 110.

Ring Fusion

Ring Fusion is a Ye family secret art developed by an ancestor who studied how the Nine Heart Begonia concentrated the power of multiple soul rings into a single healing ability. After decades of research, that ancestor created a method allowing other soul masters to gather several rings’ power into one skill 81.

Ye Renxin possessed the complete mnemonic formula and cultivation principles and taught them to Lu Xuan. For the Azure Jade Bird inner core, he proposed using Lu Xuan’s matching first ring as the entry point, then distributing the energy among all four rings through their connections 81.

Soul rings and soul bones

Relationships

• Lu Xuan — Disciple whom Ye Renxin sheltered, trained in medicine, and supported through soul-ring hunts and cultivation 2 3 25 26. Before Lu Xuan’s first hunt, he gave him a storage soul tool containing money, books, and scrolls 3. He respected the boy’s undisclosed family arts rather than pressing him for their secrets, later taught him Ring Fusion, and came to regard him as both disciple and grandson-in-law 37 81 100. He accepted Lu Xuan’s revelation of twin martial souls without resentment and became a trusted keeper of the younger generation’s divine-inheritance secret 103 104.
• Ye Lingling — Granddaughter whose awakening drove his efforts to escape the Nine Heart Begonia’s inheritance rule 2 11 16. He supported her relationship with Lu Xuan, initially reserved the Lone Bamboo Emperor torso bone for her or his disciple, and encouraged her to cultivate diligently rather than fall behind Lu Xuan 37 73 82.
• Ye Qingxian — Daughter; they each sought to bear the cost of weakening a Nine Heart Begonia so Lingling could awaken hers 12. He remained troubled by the lasting damage to her martial soul and vital essence until Lu Xuan’s pill restored her 30. She later persuaded him to accept her Blue Silver King soul bone to prepare for his ninth ring, and the two continued managing the Ye Family Medical Hall together 45 96.
• Zhao Yan — Son-in-law, whom Ye Renxin entrusted with Lu Xuan’s first soul-ring hunt and later helped plan a ninth ring for 3 29 30. Zhao Yan’s loss of his left arm made Ye Renxin’s Titled Douluo breakthrough especially urgent; he subsequently provided the Blazing Ash Left Arm Bone and restored the missing limb 51 76 80.
• Dugu Bo — Friend and eventual ally; Ye Renxin’s knowledge of herbs helped the Dugu family confront its inherited poison 8 9 16. Their early cooperation still involved mutual caution, but they later supported one another’s ninth-ring hunts and jointly promised to preserve the Lone Bamboo Emperor’s bloodline 7 9 23 73. Ye Renxin also urged restraint before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect negotiations, warning against killings that might give Spirit Hall an excuse to intervene 93.
• Dugu Yan — His granddaughter’s close friend and Lu Xuan’s other fiancée. He harvested the herb used in her martial-soul evolution, examined the resulting materialized serpent, and helped plan her cultivation 17 19 20 79. Alongside Lingling and Lu Xuan, she received his warning to conceal her divine inheritance 104.
• Lone Bamboo Emperor — Hundred-thousand-year soul beast whose sacrifice enabled his Titled Douluo breakthrough. Ye Renxin and Dugu Bo agreed to nurture its preserved origin seeds in a spirit-energy-rich location so its lineage could survive 73.
