Clearwater Jade Locations

Currently, only Anemo catalyst characters utilize Clearwater Jade for ascension, specifically Lan Yan and Xianyun. This unique variety of jade can be found near bodies of water in Chenyu Vale. For farming routes, consult guides available.

Obtaining Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core

In line with her origins during the Natlan arc, Lan Yan requires the Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core, obtainable from the Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device. This boss is located by the People of the Springs and may necessitate characters capable of significant vertical mobility (such as Kazuha or Venti) to navigate its defenses effectively.

Lan Yan rejuvenates the Whopperflower Nectar supply, following a dry spell in playable characters. Whopperflowers can be found in various locations, often camouflaged as different flora. Higher-level Whopperflowers yield superior nectars, detailed in the following chart:

Enemy Level	Possible Drops
Any	Whopperflower Nectar
40+	Shimmering Nectar
