Cozy conversations
Having accepted the offer Paimon to visit old acquaintances, go to Mount Aotsang to meet the Guardian of the Clouds, the local Adept. Having appreciated the new look of your old friend, agree to go together to meet her students. Visit Ganyu и Shenhe. Later, stop at the People's Choice restaurant to sample local delicacies, as well as Shu Yu and her grandmother Yuan Dai, who finds that the Guardian of the Clouds reminds her of someone from the past.
Go to Mount Aotsang
Paimon suddenly realized that she missed the interesting stories that the Guardian of the Clouds told. Go to Mount Aotsangto find the Adept.
To do this, use the nearest teleportation point and glide towards the place where an offering was left in the distant past.
You will notice an unfamiliar girl nearby. From the conversation it will become clear that she is the Guardian of the Clouds. The transformation of the Adept into a human is due to the fact that she wants to visit her students - Ganyu and Shenhe. First destination - Moon Sea Pavilion.
Go to the Moon Sea Pavilion and talk to Ganyu
Use one of the teleportation points located on the territory of Li Yue Harbor and get to the Moon Sea Pavilion.
Ganyu will be busy with work as always. The Guardian of the Clouds will kindly invite the Traveler and Paimon to personally talk with the girl, without her intervention, since providing a proper reception as an Adept may subsequently upset the schedule of the chief secretary. However, the attempt will be in vain: the watchful eye of the “goat” will not escape the unexpected appearance of her mentor.
In order not to distract the student from important work matters, Xian Yun will decide to refer to urgent fictional matters that brought her to the city, but before leaving they will still be able to tell each other about the adventures, as well as listen to stories and legends associated with the Guardian of the Clouds . The next destination is Shenhe’s new place of work, the People’s Choice restaurant.
Go to the People's Choice Restaurant and talk to Shenhe
Use the teleportation point located next to the alchemy table and head east to reach the restaurant and greet Shenhe. Chef Mao, noticing that old friends have come to see his employee, is happy to let the girl go on a lunch break.
Turn the corner to reach the outdoor patio "People's Choice". Then sit at the table and talk.
Guardian of the Clouds, now called Xian Yun, will ask the student about how she lives among people. Shenhe, like Ganyu earlier, shared stories from the past. Including those where the Adept participates. The dialogue between old acquaintances will be full of warm feelings, despite the fact that each of the girls does not know how to express their own emotions in the “correct” way: this is alien to some, others, on the contrary, are trying to seem restrained, despite the longing for dear ones girls' hearts.
Later, the number of guests in the restaurant will increase, and the employee will be forced to return to her duties. The traveler, Paimon and Xian Yun, in turn, will be able to enjoy bright moments over delicious dishes.
Prepare to eat and then share it with Shu Yu and grandmother Yuan Daiwho decide to stay in the “People's Choice” despite the lack of empty seats.
For completing the first stage of the task you will receive:
- 575 adventure experience;
- 38 100 Mora;
- 8 pieces of magic gain ores;
- 4 hero experience books.
In search of secrets
Having heard the story of Yuan Dai, the Traveler and Paimon, together with the Guardian of the Clouds, decide to help their new acquaintance, thereby freeing her from unnecessary hardships that arose due to the fact that the old woman suffers from memory loss and does not remember her past at all. Of course, with the exception of the memories of a strange dream that she has been seeing for a long time. Perhaps it is worth starting with the conjecture that Shu Yu's grandmother was once noble heroine.
Ask Xingqiu about Yuan Dai
Can help in a difficult matter Xingqiu, who knows a lot about the old days of Li Yue, as well as the tales and legends of the region.
Go to the jewelry house "Mingxing" and go up to Komainu statue, next to whom a young book lover sat down. After telling the story about what happened at the People's Choice restaurant, the young man will tell about the nameless heroine, often mentioned in various novels about martial artists.
Finally, Xingqiu will share the names of places that the girl from the books could visit in her youth.
Head to Madame Pin to meet the rest of the party
Having dealt with information that may be related to Yuan Dai, go to Xun Yun, who previously decided to visit Madame Ping. Destination - Moon Sea Pavilion Square.
After interrupting the dialogue of the Adepts, the Traveler and Paimon will offer to wait for Shu Yu and her grandmother in order to jointly discuss the issues that have arisen after receiving new information related to the nameless heroine from the novels. Granddaughter Yuan Dai will suggest that the legends about the girl from the books may be connected with her family: perhaps a lot will become clearer if you go to the mountains.
Listen to Shu Yu's secret
Before walking through the favorite places of the nameless heroine’s youth, Shu Yu decides to share a certain secret with the Traveler and Paimon. Leave Madame Pin for a moment to listen to the girl.
The little one will ask if Xian Yun is an Adept. Having received a positive answer, she will tell a story from her childhood: when Shu Yu fell ill and was completely alone at home, a snow-white luminous crane helped her cope with her illness thanks to a magic potion. Since then, the girl sincerely dreams of saying “Thank you” to the bird that saved her.
Head to Wangshu
Having put aside stories about the past for later, the company decides to return to pressing matters. Go to inn "Vanshu", using the teleportation point of the same name.
Yuan Dai will remember the taste of the fish from this establishment, the lonely birds that lagged behind the flock, as well as her room in which she lived in the distant past. When the granddaughter and grandmother leave their assistant saviors to walk through the inn, Paimon and the Guardian of the Clouds will appear to the Traveler Xiao. Along with Ganyu and Shenhe, he will reminisce and talk about War of the Archons, the exploits of the Adept and her immeasurable help in general.
Later, the conversation is interrupted by Shu Yu's sudden cry: for a moment her grandmother felt ill, but this helped her remember important information about the past - in her youth she lived on “Wanshu” in the hope that the mountain air would help her recover from her illness.
The illness that afflicted the woman was probably fatal. There was no medicine that could help. And only a traveling merchant was able to offer a remedy that suppressed the symptoms. However, as it turned out, this was a temporary measure.
Find clues in the northern part of Cloud's Reach
Since the adventures in the places of the past were a success, the company decides to continue traveling around the outskirts of Li Yue in the hope that Yuan Dai will remember something else. Next destination - northern part of the Cloud's Reach.
Use the available teleporters to go to three places with possible clues:
- First clue — located in the northwestern part of the Jasper Forest and is an optional visit. The only thing Grandma Shu Yu will remember is her strange love of hide and seek.
- Second clue - located in the southern part of the Jasper Forest and is key point of the task, which changes the mission objective to "Go to Qingyun Peak."
- The third tip - located in the eastern part of the Jasper Forest and, by analogy with the first place, is an optional visit. The only thing Yuan Dui will remember is that she had been here before, but she never stayed in the area for long.
Use the central teleportation point of Cloud's Reach and glide in an easterly direction to reach the location under № 2. Thus, the company will end up at a once abandoned village.
In the distant past, the “nameless heroine” and her lover got into trouble: they had to flee from a brutal fight that could have cost their lives. They subsequently hid in one of the dilapidated houses of the village. It was a moonless night. Yuan Dui could only allow herself one thing - to pray that troubles would pass her by, despite her sins and treachery.
Go to Qingyun Peak
The last place you need to reach is Qingyun Peak. Travel to the Geo Archon Statue or the nearest teleportation point, and then glide to the quest marker.
Another location to visit will not lead to the same success. Yuan Dui will not remember anything, but Mount Aocang, which is visible from the top of the peak, will have a different effect on the mind and body. The woman will feel bad: despite the desire to visit the abode of the Adept, she will say that for reasons unknown to herself, she cannot do this.
Completing the second stage of the quest will bring:
- 575 adventure experience;
- 38 100 Mora;
- 8 pieces of magic gain ores;
- 4 hero experience books.
Beautiful dream
Using Xian Yun's unusual invention, help Yuan Dai regain her memories of the past. Listen to the difficult story of the elderly lady and contact the Adept for details. Witness the touching farewell scene between Shu Yu and her grandmother, only to see her happy ending one day.
Return to Mount Aotsang
Take advantage of the wind flowto return to Mount Aotsang.
The Guardian of the Clouds will present "Dreamcatcher". According to the Adept, it should calm Grandma Shu Yu and allow her to enter a semi-hypnotic state. However, the device will be successful just a few seconds after the start of the dialogue - the woman will actually doze off, completely forgetting about those around her.
In her dreams, the “nameless heroine” will walk through key memories from her past: the drought that led to her heroism, the lover and life of adventure that was forgotten due to illness.
When Yuan Dui wakes up, he will tell the true story about himself. In the distant past, she was an ordinary bird who watched the Guardian of the Clouds from afar. Taking pity on the stubborn creature, the Adept allowed her to get closer to herself and the knowledge open to her consciousness, which ultimately allowed the “nameless heroine” to become a person for a period of 10 years. Thus, Yuan Dui became famous for her heroic deeds. Years passed: the once young girl fell in love and, deciding to stay with her loved one, “hid” from the watchful eyes of the Guardian of the Clouds so as not to turn back into a bird.
However, this act led to misfortunes in the form of memory lapses and confused memories. Only the elixir of a traveling merchant helped the hearty person get rid of the consequences of the disease. Behind the identity of the traveling merchant, in turn, hid Xian Yun, who decided to bless the “snow-white crane”, allowing him to live in human form.
Follow the memories to find out the truth
Listen to Xian Yun's story about what really happened - in role of the Guardian of the Clouds walk through memorable corners of the distant past to get to the bottom of the truth.
Memory 1
Proceed to the exit of the cave and exit to the wooden platform, which will open up a view of the Wangshu.
The adept will tell you that she was angry with Yuan Dui because of her letter and her chosen one. It seemed to the Guardian of the Clouds that the young man chosen by her “crane” was not worthy of the heart of such an unusual person. However, Yuan Dui’s kind disposition and feelings towards Yuan Dui melted the mentor’s cold disposition, and she decided to prepare a potion that would curb the side effects of the “Elixir of Transfiguration” and allow the student to live a happy life in human form.
Memory 2
Continue straight along the bridge, then go inside the cave. Climb to the top and glide to the slope on the opposite side to continue your journey through the depths of the Adept's subconscious.
Jump over the gap and get close to rich chest.
Then continue along the paved path until you reach the house where, according to Yuan Dui's memories, she gave birth to Shu Yu's father. Repel the demon attackto continue your journey through the past. You will have to fight several waves of enemies:
- 1 wave — hilichurl fighter ×2 and Hydro slime;
- 2 wave — hilichurl fighter ×2 and Electro slime;
- 3 wave — hilichurl fighter ×2, Hydro slime and Electro slime;
- 4 wave - hilichurl fighter, hydro slime, electro slime and mitachurl.
Once the opponents are defeated, Xian Yun will continue the story, in which he will explain why the monsters pursued the lovers.
Memory 3
Once again, continue to move along the already outlined path, delving into memories, which in addition will lead to another chest - this time ordinary.
The last story, in turn, will be the case of Shu Yu and the snow-white luminous crane, which the girl saw when she had a bad cold. As it turned out, it was the Guardian of the Clouds who took care of the baby.
Talk to Xian Yun
When the problems in Yuan Dui's memories are corrected, the woman will be ready to return to her previous appearance. However, before this, a touching farewell will take place between grandmother and granddaughter: each will promise each other that one day they will meet again.
After the sad scene, Shu Yu, Traveler and Paimon will fall asleep. In the world of dreams, brother and sister will finally find their way to each other, and the eternal wanderings of one in attempts to find a twin will end. The baby will also find her happiness by once again embracing her beloved grandmother, who was still able to turn back into a human. But a dream is only a temporary illusion, and it tends to end.
Travel to Li Yue Harbor to meet Xian Yun
Afterwards, a conversation will take place between the Traveler and Xian Yun, during which the Adept admits that he plans to leave Mount Aotsang and move closer to his students. It should take some time to prepare, after which the Guardian of the Clouds will be glad to welcome friends and acquaintances in her new abode.
If you don’t rewind time and go straight to the city, you can find Xingqiu there.
The guy will ask about your progress in studying the legend and promise to keep the secret of Yuan Dai and Shu Yu.
Thanks for the screenshots Julia.
Wait two days using the in-game clock.
Then move to Harbor Li Yue and go towards the residential side street of the city, located east of the toy store.
The Guardian of the Clouds will be busy negotiating with a local merchant who is buying ancient relics. It will help in evaluating the proposed items later. Zhongli: his opinion carries great weight for antique connoisseurs. In this way, Lady Xian Yun will become a full-fledged resident of Li Yue and will get closer to ordinary mortals, which she may not have thought about just a few decades ago due to her old views on the world.

Read on:We hope this guide helped you learn how to start and complete the legend quest Xian Yun Free Crane: A Thousand Moonlight Miles in Genshin Impact. If you encounter any difficulties during the passage, you can report them in comments. Read other guides in the sections passing, guides и builds.
there at some point on the mountain you can talk to the bird student XO, I didn’t find it at what point, but I saw it in TT
If you don’t immediately rewind time and go to XO, you can go to Xingqiu. He stands in the same place at the guild, where he was earlier in the quest. The essence of the dialogue: “oh, okay, I’ll keep the secret, I think there will be a happy ending.” If necessary, I screenshotted the dialogue and can share it with you
Thank you, we will be grateful if you upload the screenshots to a file hosting service and leave the link in the comments)
did you get the link?
Hello! Yes, we received the link, thank you for your help! Valerie is sick, so I answer. We’ll update the article one of these days :)
great 🙂 Get well soon Valerie!
I gave it to her :)
Thank you, we added screenshots to the article)
How to jump over it?
Like they would jump over while exploring the world. Jump, grab on, climb.
Also, you can press Eshka 3 times as Xian Yun)
How can you find out what kind of music is playing while searching for memories?
I liked the quest, and the ending even made me feel somehow comfortable - such a pleasant feeling from meeting Jun Li
It was also worth mentioning the unsigned letter next to Xian Yun’s new house
By the way, I didn’t understand from the letter - it turns out her parents are alive, but somewhere on the expedition?
As if on purpose, we decided to screw up the good seed of the AP where we communicate well with Shenka and Ganka by introducing another pair of NPCs from the snuff box. Who is this? Where? For what? All my life the Guardian of the Clouds had two students, but no, you d**k player, it turns out there were three of them. The whole AP ends up treating the grandmother’s sclerosis with stories about the exploits of the HO (so clumsily presented - replace the heron with Morax or at least a deer from the mountain, nothing will change). And only the ending is not bad again, the cutscene with the siblings and the meeting of “Xian Yun” and “Zhongli” are good. In general, the beginning and end are acceptable, but the middle in the form of running errands with NPCs is completely out of whack. It’s a pity that instead of revealing the game characters (And how luxuriously the same Gan and Shen could have been revealed even better), they are thrusting N P S on us again. Sorry for the Fontaine, it’s already f***ed up. Overall I can give it 5/10.
what can be revealed from Gan and Shen... Okay, from Gan it’s still possible, but from Shen everything was revealed in her quest - her character is such that nothing can happen to her. That's what we see - when she works as a waiter
About two or three students. This is the Chinese philosophy - a master can teach, but this does not mean that you are considered his official student. So yes - she only has two students, although she has taught three (or even more). Nothing contradicts. If the master does not recognize you, you are not considered a student, no matter what the relationship is.
How many Geo Seals drop from the two chests in the Xian Yun Dungeon?
how to get to Xin Qiu and tell him the story?
Thank you
Have a good game!
