Update 4.4 for Genshin Impact is here at long last, introducing Chenyu Vale to us officially. Chenyu’s Blessings of Sunken Jade is one of the latest World Quest series to be added to the game.
In particular, we will be guiding you through the first of the new Genshin Impact quest, “Act 1: Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain.”
This is a wholesome, chill World Quest that introduces us to one of the most famous tea plantations as well as new mechanics.
Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain (Act 1) Guide
Starting “Act 1: Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain” quest from Chenyu’s Blessings of Sunken Jade World Quest is as easy as stepping foot into the new Chenyu Vale area.
Here’s a summary of what to do during this quest:
- Use your adeptal energy to leave the mountain.
- Go to Qiaoying Village.
- Go to teamaking workshop.
- Leave Qiaoying Village.
- Follow the Golden Carp.
- Solve the puzzle.
I was gliding into the area when my character was suddenly transported Melusine-village style (but green). You’ll find yourself in the humble abode of the Adeptus Fujin.
Use your adeptal energy to leave the mountain
She apologizes for rudely pulling you into her house. The Adeptus gently explained that she needed your help to investigate the imbalance of local water and soil. Oh, no, an emergecy threatens the fine quality of Chenyu Vale’s tea production!
Please note: This is where you are introduced to the Adeptal Energy mechanism. This is a unique mechanism is Chenyu Vale where you ride on Golden Carps to places, almost like Sumeru’s Four-Leaf Sigils.
After this sequence, you will be immediately sent very close to the Statue of the Seven (as shown in the screenshot above) of Upper Vale. So that’s convenient!
Go to teamaking workshop (Fine Tea, Full Moon Recipe)
Keep walking and there will be another cutscene as he explains that the tea situation is very dire. In Old Luo’s words, “No tea may be sold until the quality problem is solved.”
After speaking his thoughts on the tea problem, he asks you to visit the teamaking workshop up north. While heading up here, you can get some Chenyu Adeptea (really, Hoyo?) growing here. There’s also a Waypoint to unlock.
Up North, another sequence begins as a serious discussion about the tea problem takes place. Somehow, it ends with us having to test teacake made from two different batches of tea leaves. This confirms that the issue is not in the machine, but the tea itself.
Here, you’ll get the Fine Tea, Full Moon Recipe after concurring to the Grandpa’s sly convincing that we do have something to do at Yilong Wharf. Keep walking after leaving the village until you reach the indicated area.
Follow the Golden Carp
You’re going to have to use the Adeptal Energy mechanic here. After pressing T, launch yourself towards the Golden Carp with LMB on PC, or just click on the area on your device.
Clear the area from the Treasure Hoarders here. Now, you need to solve the puzzle. Which is actually easy, as you just need to make all the rocks shine equally. Do this by pressing T which will let you carry the rock, and then move to where the unlit rocks are.
Fujin reappears afterward and after chatting with you as you agree to help her, a certain figure appears to be watching you from afar.
Continue walking ahead, flicking on another three Waypoints while you’re at it. Upon entering the wharf, another dialogue takes place. We finally meet the technician, Hautemontagne.
After talking to Little Mao, you both decided to set off together as the little boy seems to know a lot about Chenyu Vale’s nature.
And with that, we’ve finished “Qiaoying of the Sacred Mountain” quest in Genshin Impact! I’ll see in the next Act, “Floating Jade Treasure of Chenyu Guide.”
