Chen Ying

Chen Ying is a green-robed Medicine Hall elder whose interest in unusual medicinal materials leads her from evaluating Li Fan's Blue Blood Coral to studying a frozen secret realm.

Biography

Joining the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance

Chen Ying contacts Li Fan after the Blue Blood Coral he presents attracts professional attention. Rather than dismissing an unfamiliar specimen, the early Nascent Soul elder visits the associated frozen secret realm and studies the cold power preserved there. She applies that understanding to improve the Ice Intent Heartless Pill, turning exploration into a concrete alchemical refinement. Her dealings with Li Fan are friendly but retain a specialist's pride: she recognizes the value of his discovery while approaching it through Medicine Hall expertise. The episode helps connect his early Alliance integration with practitioners who value evidence, rare plants, and reproducible medicinal effects. (Chapters 172–175 and 196–205)

Appearance and personality

Chen Ying is shown in green robes and carries the assured manner of a Nascent Soul elder. She is curious about anomalous materials, confident in her medicinal judgment, and willing to investigate directly. Her warmth toward Li Fan coexists with professional pride rather than erasing the difference in their early standing. (Chapters 172–175 and 196–205)

Abilities and cultivation

Spirit-plant appraisal

Chen Ying can recognize unusual properties in cultivated materials such as Blue Blood Coral and assess their medicinal promise. Expertise does not mean instant certainty: the frozen secret realm still requires direct investigation. (Chapters 172–175)

Alchemy

She refines the Ice Intent Heartless Pill and uses insight into the secret realm's cold power to improve it. The text establishes a successful adjustment but does not provide the complete recipe or every limit of her alchemical repertoire. (Chapters 196–205)
