There is a legend saying that even mere mortals can become Adepts. To do this, they need to prove themselves to Celestiaby performing outstanding feats or having been trained in Taishanfu Dungeon. After that, you need to conclude a contract with Morax to protect Li Yue, and thus replenish the ranks of the Adepts.

The appearance of the guardians of Li Yue is variable and depends on their personal desire. Most prefer to take the form of sacred animals: for example, the Guardian of the Clouds and the Shaper of the Mountains appear in the form of cranes, and the Lord of the Moon is a deer.

In Li Yue, an annual festival is held in honor of the Adepts.
The people of the state of contracts revere their patrons as deities. In honor of the Adepts, the largest celebration in Li Yue was created, which is celebrated annually to this day - Lantern Rite. On a solemn night, the inhabitants release thousands of lanterns into the sky to light the way for the souls of the Adepts and fulfill their desires.
