Power Progression

Background / History

The Ye Family is renowned throughout the Douluo Continent as a top-tier family of healing Soul Masters. Its inherited Nine Heart Begonia nevertheless imposed a severe succession restriction: only two bearers could coexist, and a predecessor had to die before another successor could awaken it. Breaking this limitation became a longstanding family ambition 19.

Several generations secretly searched for immortal herbs without finding one. Their only reliable lead was Spirit Hall’s Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose martial soul was the immortal herb Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Repeated failure led the family to regard immortal herbs as elusive and possibly unreal 7 19.

Welcoming Gu Ping’an

After the Breaking Clan circulated Gu Ping’an’s wanted portrait, Ye Lingling’s parents anticipated that he would visit their own library. Her father instructed her not to raise an alarm: since the Breaking Clan could not detain him, the Ye Family could not expect to do so either. Lingling therefore allowed him to read and brought her mother to meet him 6.

Ye Qingtang recognized his exceptional potential and hoped that supporting him could eventually free the family from dependence on other powers. She supplied the Immortal Herb Illustrated Record and lent him a bracelet capable of storing living things. Gu promised to repay the kindness and offered to share an herb that might help Lingling’s martial soul 7.

Alliance and Repayment

Gu returned with Xiao Wu and presented Lingling with Aromatic Silk Beauty. Before knowing whether it would work, Ye Qingtang granted him standing equal to the family head, access to all family resources, and authority to issue orders. Shen Qingchuan initially worried about giving an outsider so much influence, but accepted Qingtang’s reasoning: Gu had already repaid access to their books with a priceless herb 18 19.

Lingling’s successful absorption ended the family’s inherited restriction. Her emotional cry for her grandmother reflected the grief attached to its former succession system; Gu and Xiao Wu withdrew to let the family share the moment privately 19 20.

Members

Abilities & Expertise

Nine Heart Begonia

• Healing specialization: The family’s reputation rests on healing-type Soul Masters; Lingling’s martial soul is used to treat people 19 20.
• Former bearer limit: At most two Nine Heart Begonia martial souls could coexist. A predecessor’s death was required for another successor to awaken it 19.
• Breakthrough secrecy: After Lingling’s evolution, Qingtang plans to limit her martial soul’s public use, restrain its healing effects, and explain visible changes as a mutation 20.
• Proof of the restriction’s removal: A third simultaneous bearer would expose that the family had overcome its former limit 20.

Herbal Knowledge and Trade

• The Ye Family and Breaking Clan are among the best-known sources of herbal knowledge in the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires 6.
• Its library holds both general plant references and specialized immortal-herb records 7.
• Its medicinal-herb business supplies predominantly wood- and earth-attribute materials, with fewer resources of the other elements 20.

Resources & Items

• Immortal Herb Illustrated Record — Documents numerous immortal herbs, including Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew 7.
• Living-storage bracelets — Preserve the vitality of medicinal herbs. One is lent to Gu during his first visit; another carries the family’s elemental supplies when he returns 7 20.
• Five-element materials — At Gu’s request, the family agrees to collect medicinal herbs, Soul Beasts, and ores containing metal, wood, water, fire, or earth attributes 19.
• Treasury supplies — Qingtang orders all currently stored five-element resources handed over to Gu and agrees to continue collecting more. These resources help support his cultivation over the following year 20 22.

Relationships

• Gu Ping’an — Beneficiary turned ally. The family’s hospitality earns it Aromatic Silk Beauty, while its resources support his cultivation. Qingtang views his willingness to repay kindness as the strongest reason to invest in him 7 19 22.
• Breaking Clan — Fellow authority on medicinal herbs. Unlike the clan, which issues a warrant for Gu, the Ye Family permits him to read and offers assistance 6.
• Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect — A potential source of pressure, not a documented opponent. Gu fears that news of Nine Heart Begonia’s breakthrough could provoke Ning Fengzhi’s interest in overcoming his own martial soul’s limitation; the family consequently conceals its success 20.
• Xiao Wu — Guest accompanying Gu during his repayment visit. The family serves her fresh food and allows her to attend Lingling’s absorption 18 19.
