Yin Yue: Artifact spirit, strategist, keeper of the bottle's secret
Yin Yue, also called Xue Ling, was originally one of the two souls of Linglong Immortal, a Silver Moon Wolf of the Spirit Realm. After a split soul of the demonic ancestor Yuancha tried to seize her body, she fled into a Mortal Realm artifact and became its spirit — and eventually the spirit of Han Li's natal treasure. She addresses him as master and is the only being who knows the secret of the Heavens-Wood Bottle.
