• All events are triggered by wandering near Hua Feng main city.

You encounter the Nil Root NPC standing on a hill overlooking the city.

He is feeling a bit down. Comfort him.

Meeting 6: Leaving for Yun Mo

Visit his house.

You encounter Nil Root NPC standing on another hill overlooking the city (there must be a lot of hills in the area). This time around, Nil Root NPC decided to search for the cure for his condition in Yun Mo. His house disappears.

Yun Mo Region

Meeting 7: Yun Mo Arrival

Fast travel to Yun Mo main city -> step outside the city -> make a save -> exit and enter the game -> enter Yun Mo main city. Or just wait a month.

The Nil Root NPC greets you and tells you he is now living near Yun Mo main city.

His house will spawn near Yun Mo main city.

Meeting 8: Tavern Information

Visit the tavern.

At the tavern, you find the Nil Root NPC asking for information about a cure for his constitution.

Apparently, there was once a possible cure, but the location is blocked by Nether Air, so he cannot use it.

This leaves him depressed. Comfort him.

Meeting 9: Injured Cultivator Rescue

Wander near Yun Mo main city until the Nil Root NPC appears as a prompt.

The Nil Root NPC asks for your help in saving an injured cultivator.

A quest location will be generated. Go to the spawned Nil Root NPC marker.

You will enter a battle against: 4 elites + 25 mobs

Meeting 11: A cure for Nil Root constitution

Wander near Yun Mo main city until the Nil Root NPC appears as a prompt.

This time, the Nil Root NPC needs to be rescued.

After you save him, he excitedly tells you he found the remedy for his condition, a special jade he found and nearly died in the ruins.

Then a group of villagers arrives and begs him to hand over the jade.

The jade apparently has the power to control water, and the villagers need it to protect their village.

The Nil Root NPC gives the jade to them, even though it may have been the key to curing his condition.

The villagers rewards the Nil Root NPC with some words of gratitude, and leaves.

The Nil Root NPC becomes depressed.

Meeting 12: Supreme Forge Quest

Visit his house.

Open your inventory and use the map item. This generates the quest: Into the Supreme Forge.

Go to the fire location marked by the quest.

Survive the lightning and fire for about 30 seconds.

After completing the quest, you will get Lively Flow Destiny (2 months)

wait x months.

Meeting 13: Rumors?

Wander in the Wayward Desert dangerous region.

This part is still in progress.

Testing:

The Nil Root NPC seems to return at Enlightenment stage by default. I want to check whether his realm scales based on the player’s realm. For example, if the player is already Transcendent, does the Nil Root NPC return as Transcendent too?

Chinese (official DLC description): “A female demon king with an exceptionally long lifespan. She observes all things in the world from a perspective above others, seeking the ultimate secrets of the Eight Realms, but doing so will exact a terrible price.”

Important Notes

• You probably already encounter her several times while progressing through the other Five Bloom’s quests. None of those encounters are required for Tianxiang quest.

Post Quest - Kidnapping

Wander the map.

The silken knot on your wrist snaps as you wake up in an unfamiliar mansion.

As you explore the estate, you eventually discover Xiang Laichi in a delusional outburst, ranting about his love for Tianxiang and his desire to possess her. Realizing you have broken free from his control, he decides to imprison and torture you to death.

Xiang Laichi is now a Transcendent cultivator. Fortunately, he is considerably easier to defeat than Tianxiang. Blooms summoned from titles will not assist you during this battle.

Additional Notes

• Despite being Heaven Chosen, Tianxiang accepts any gift.
• Max affinity allows you to recruit her into your sect.
• Some conversations in Tianxiang's questline feel like they were originally written as one continuous scene but are instead split across multiple months. I can't help but imagine the our character awkwardly standing outside Tianxiang's house for months, waiting for the next line of dialogue.

Chinese (official DLC description): “A puppet body created by a deity. However, the puppet has awakened consciousness and attempts to escape her destined fate. She wishes to become a real person rather than a puppet controlled by others.”

Important Notes

• You could gain or lose affinity based on dialogue choices you make. It will be indicated by (+) or (-).
• The dialogue choices aren’t very important unless stated otherwise. Same goes for affinity. Although, you can recruit her into your sect once you reached max affinity. Affinity can be increased afterwards by giving her a lot of gifts.
• Unlike most other Bloom quests, Yin Er’s quests does not scale to your cultivation level. They are rather easy to defeat since they tend to be low level.
• The start of her questline triggers when you find her in Fallen Valley.
• After the 1st meeting, Yin Er’s quests are randomly triggered when you wander the map. Once triggered, the quest will indicate that you should go to her house. The chances of it triggering is on the low side, so it may not trigger immediately. If you are trying to trigger her quests as early as possible, you can reload the save until you eventually trigger her quest.

Hua Feng Region

Meeting 1: Fallen Valley

The quest will automatically stop you for a moment, to see two cultivators having a chat about strange sounds heard from Fallen Valley.

• Ultima sand can be bought at the town/city market.
• An event, triggered by wandering the map in Hua Feng, two cultivators arguing about artifact spirits, will gift you 1 ultima sand if you help either the challenger or the defender. Leaving quietly will give you nothing.

Note: the enemies in Hua Feng Fallen Valley are above Foundation, so you should start this quest when you are at least Qi Condensation.

When you explore Fallen Valley, Yin Er will call out to you, begging for help. Complete Fallen Valley run to "rescue" Yin Er.

After taking Yin Er to her house, she sits down and starts sketching something on the ground.

Meeting 13 - The Three Principles

Randomly triggers when you wander the map.

Upon arrival, you find depressed Yin Er having a self deprecating moment.

*You can only pick one choice at each dialogue

Dialogue:

• You’re very adorable (+)
• Why say such silly things? (+)
• Stop making a fuss over nothing

Interact with her house again. While examining the Primal Mirage Sand Table, you uncover the truth behind Yin Er's creator and the Three Principles he implanted to prevent her from rebelling: Absolute Obedience, Weakened Will, and Ban for Power.

Yin Er previously destroyed Absolute Obedience, but the other two principles remain active. She had hoped to use the Origin Box to break free from her creator's control. After reading the Sand Table, you realize Yin Er is in grave danger and immediately rush out to find her.

*Tianxiang may spawn as as you travel. Choose “stay silent” and “Thank you (sincerely)” to get a destiny Astral Cinders: Luck+30, Insight+20 for 3 years.

When you find Yin Er, you warn her that Ban for Power will eventually kill her if she continues accumulating power. However, Yin Er's body is under control of her creator due to Weakened Will turning her against you.

Yin Er gains Hatred+, and you enter battle.

• If you choose to kill her, Yin Er hatred+++.
• If you choose to let her go, nothing happens. Same result.

After Battle Choices:

• Stand your ground (+)
• Leave (you will receive a warning prompt telling you that this decision will affect this person’s fate)

Yin Er struggles for control of her body before activating Three Principles: Ban for Power, causing her to self-destruct. Before disappearing, she entrusts you with her heart, the Vessel of the Soul.

Open your inventory and use the Vessel of the Soul. The quest will then hint that it can be placed inside the Origin Box at Yin Er's house. Return to her house and interact with the Origin Box. Your character will do "...".

*Wander the map a bit. You find Xiang Laichi still trying to capture Tianxiang.

Meeting 14 - Reconstruction Failed?

Note: bring Blue Crow Jade x10

Wander the map to trigger the quest. Same as usual, the quest will indicate Yin Er’s house. Note: The trigger chance is unusually low, so it might take quite a bit of traveling for it to trigger.

Returning to Yin Er's empty house, you will be prompted to use Vessel of the Soul item. You discover that the Origin Box contains a hidden function capable of reconstructing her body. To activate it, you must sacrifice 20 years of your lifespan and Ravenjade x10 (it actually meant was Blue Crow Jade x10, a common material that can be obtained from Fallen Valley). Once you complete this step, Reconstruction Failed quest will be added to your quest list.

Meeting 16 - Ending Part 2

Randomly triggers when you wander the map.

When you meet Yin Er again, she finally tells you about her past, what truly happened that day, and the truth behind the Three Principles.

As the conversation comes to an end, Yin Er tries to make several attempts before finally kissing you. After thanking you for everything you've done, she gazes off into the distance before quietly taking her leave, marking the end of her questline.

Post Quest Interactions:

• In the beginning of every month, there is a chance that Yin Er may give you an item when used gives healing pills.
• If you visit her NPC, she gives you Star Pyrite, Ultima Sand, and a variety of Forging materials
• If you enter her house, and do nothing for a few minutes, Yin Er will give you max energy and focus +30% for 6 months
• Yin Er may randomly show up as a prompt as you wander the map. If you break the illusion, she will give you Ultima Sand x20, Soul Devouring Stone x5, A Wisp of Soul x3, and artifact materials.
• How to trigger dual cultivation event:
  • Step 1: “invite” her NPC
  • Step 2: choose to drink alcohol during your date
  • Step 3: go to her house
  • You will find a completely wasted Yin Er chugging down bottles of alcohol. When she spots you, she runs over, and snuggles up to you. You will be given the option to dual cultivate with her. You will get a destiny called Lotus Half Mask: Defense +5%, Madness +15% for 1 month. No idea what is Madness, I used translate on the chinese description: 防禦增加5%，癲心增加15%.

Additional Notes

• Despite being Heaven Chosen, Yin Er accepts any gift.
• Max affinity allows you to recruit her into your sect.
• According to Yin Er, being in love and drinking alcohol both makes her heart go thump thump.

Chinese (official DLC description): “A dragon maiden who came to the Eight Realms by borrowing the power of the Hetu. In order to survive and find her way home, she is forced to travel everywhere searching for a method of return. Yet because of the player's companionship, she finds it difficult to let go. In the end, she must make a choice.”

Important Notes

• This guide is going to take a while to complete. Posting what I have here for now.
• You could gain or lose affinity based on dialogue choices you make. It will be indicated by (+) or (-).
• The dialogue choices aren’t very important unless stated otherwise. Same goes for affinity. Although, you can recruit her into your sect once you reached max affinity. Affinity can be increased afterwards by giving her a lot of gifts.
• Most enemies scale to your cultivation realm.
• Ao Yao’s chain quests, from 1st meeting to 5th meeting, can be done in the same month by roaming the map. The chance of triggering her quest while you are traveling is random.
• She will help you out in battle in all her quests

Warning: Avoiding marrying anyone until all of Ao Yao’s quests are complete. That also includes the 10 year promise. Partners are fine.

This time, while you are roaming the map, Ao Yao will show up as a prompt, inviting you to join her on another mystic realm exploration. After dialogue, Ao Yao will spawn nearby on the map.

Instead of a battle, it becomes a date event. After date, Ao Yao’s gains affinity+++.

However, Ao Yao will have a sudden nosebleed and collapse on the ground. Ao Yao’s residence will spawn on the map. Take her there to rest and recuperate.

Interact with her house again, and you find her taking a bath.

• Shuang Ling’s chain quest, from 1st meeting to 9th meeting, can be done in the same month, by interacting with her house.

Meeting 1 - The Ice Witch

The quest triggers when you are wandering the map in Hua Feng. I personally find that it triggers most often when you are near the center or the right side of the Hua Feng region.

Two cultivators talking to each other will spawn in the map. Interacting with them, you find out that they are looking for an ice witch. This will cause Shuang Ling to spawn on the map.

Upon interacting with her, you will see distraught Shuang Ling standing over three popsicles.

There is some quest dialogue choices, but it doesn’t matter what you choose here.

After interaction, Shuang Ling will leave, and her house will spawn on the map. A quest will indicate you should go to her house.

• I come to visit you, my lady

At the 3rd round of dialogue, Shuang Ling will ask you to find another manual.

A funny interaction: if you “refuse” instead of accept, the conversation will end, and reset to the beginning, meaning that you can repeat this loop of gaining affinity with Shuang Ling as many times as you like.

After you give her the manual, she will ask you if you are here for the ice witch:

• You know about the creature too?

Dialogue Choices:

• Are you feeling unwell? (+)
• You seem a bit off (-)
• Stay quietly with her
• Let’s leave here (end conversation)

Reward:

• 3 or 4 icy souls.

Warning: the 6th, 7th, and 8th meeting, will inflict you with Max HP debuffs for 3 months. these debuffs can stack, meaning if you do all these meetings at the same time, you could end up with a max HP so small, that you could die in one hit.

Some spawns might be hidden due to the fog of war, since they spawn pretty far away and far apart from each other.

Meeting 7

Can be done immediately after finishing her 6th meeting. Interact with her house again.

Post Quest Interactions:

In the beginning of the month there are three different types events that can occur:

• Event 1: Shuang Ling will ask if you want to save your Master. If you pick that you want to save everyone, Shuang Ling will spawn nearby. Interacting with her, you find out that Shuang Ling saves your master. Wait next month, and your master will give you:
  • 3 pills:
    • Baneful Raindrops Elixir does small continuous aoe dmg everyone including your allies
    • Tiangang Pill creates a very small shield
    • Ice Soul Elixir generates water attacks in addition to your basics.
• Event 2: Shuang Ling just shows up and gives you the 3 pills
• Event 3: Shuang Ling ask one of your friends to deliver you an item:
  • Jade Ice Flame Soul:
    • Lifespan: +10
    • Max Vitality: +400
    • Max Energy: +260
  • A lot of HP and MP recovery pills

Shuang Ling may randomly spawn as you wander the map. Interacting with her, you will get:

• Frost Dish of Delicacies food item. Consuming it gives Thawing Snow destiny: boosts atk and def by 5%, Martial Arts +18, Water Root +50, Vitality +10% for 4 months

If you enter her house, and do nothing for a few minutes:

• She gives Mystic Meat Slices food item that increases atk&def by 5%, vitality by 10%, and all spiritual roots by 30 for 1 month.

Interacting with her house:

• what elixirs you have?: will either give HP recovery items, or 3 pills (has a cooldown?)
• try elixir:
  • random buff(+10% atk or +10% hp) or debuff(max energy-15%) for 2 months
  • dual cultivation: Frost Dwelling destiny: water root +45, crit+10% for 4 months

*dual cultivation is a bit bugged. You may trigger it, but nothing happens. Just keep trying elixir until you get the buff.

Additional Notes

• Despite being Heaven Chosen, Shuang Ling accepts any gift.
• Max affinity allows you to recruit her into your sect.
• I don't know if it is a visual bug, but:
  • Frost Dwelling destiny boost water root by +50 instead of +45
• Her pills scale according to your realm.

Trying to test the trigger conditions for the Transcendent Master event. It is already well known that you need to be at Foundation, wander the Yong Ning region, and wait 5-10 years for the event to occur, however, when exactly does it occur, and is it possible to manipulate the event so it comes exactly at 5 years?

For reference:

• I reached Foundation at Year 2, Month 5, Day 7
• Character's Luck was at 110 for Test 1, due to buffs from temporary destinies.
• Character's Luck eventually went back down to 80 during Test 2
• Character is in a sect and has visited other regions

Test 1:

Starting from Year 5, Month 1

• loading the save from before the month changes, then advancing the month again

Did this a total of 43 times

Failed to trigger Transcendent Master Event

Test 2:

Starting from Year 5, Month 1

• Walked 16 tiles.
• Skipped directly to the next month.
• Repeat.

Attempt 1: triggered the event at Year 8, Month 8, Day 4

Attempt 2: triggered the event at Year 8, Month 8, Day 3

Attempt 3: triggered the event at Year 8, Month 8, Day 2

Conclusion:

Despite my small sample size, it seems that the Transcendent Master event occurs at a fixed time. I tried different locations on the map, which may have caused a difference in days when it triggered (since some terrain takes more days to pass through than others). I tried triggering the event on another save file, and I was able to trigger the event at Year 8 Month 2 Day 2.

I hope this information helps anyone trying to trigger the Transcendent Master event in their own playthrough.
