An Adeptal Summons

An Adeptal Summons is a World Quest that occurs in Liyue.
==Steps==
Start the quest by going to the central lake at Mt. Aocang.
# Offer the Delicious Jewelry Soup
# Visit Cloud Retainer
#* Interact with the door to her domain to talk to her.
# Go to the Adeptus' abode and search for the "Dwelling in the Clouds" Blueprints
#* The blueprints are located on the floating island on Qingyun Peak, unlocked by completing the Three Cranes Puzzle.
# Give the blueprints to Cloud Retainer
#* Complete a time trial challenge. Reach the target location within 150 seconds (02:30 min). Slimes will spawn and grant +15 extra seconds per kill.
#* Rotate CW/CCW → 3 Hydro → 3 Pyro → Rotate CW → Activate wind current → Return, 3 Electro → Return to middle platform, rotate CCW → 3 Anemo → Rotate CCW → 1 Electro, 1 Hydro, 1 Pyro → Rotate CW/CCW
#* The puzzle can be skipped by using character abilities that allows the player to glide to the middle of the platform.
# Place the blueprints before Cloud Retainer
==Gameplay Notes==
* Once the first platform is rotated, the time challenge will begin.
* The domain will automatically exit by failing to return the blueprints within the time limit or falling into the void.
==Dialogue==
:Paimon: Ah! Paimon remembers. Doesn't that one adeptus who loves food live here?
:Paimon: Last time, we had to offer tons of tasty food before she would even spare us her attention...
:Paimon: Paimon wonders if she would answer us if we offer more food to her again...
;(After offering Jewelry Soup)
:Cloud Retainer: Who would disturb the tranquility of this adeptus? Ah, it's you two...
:Cloud Retainer: And I see that you have also come bearing food again... Alright then, speak! You have my ear.
----
;(Visit Cloud Retainer at her domain)
:Cloud Retainer: State your business at once! One has a myriad matters to which one must attend. Waste not the valuable time of an adeptus!
: Just wanted to see how you're doing...
:Cloud Retainer: ...
:Cloud Retainer: Your business is a novel one... You simply came to wish me well, and not to fulfill a wish of some other nature?
:Cloud Retainer: Very well, so be it! Mortal minds work in mysterious ways... I have no interest in attempting to understand them.
:Cloud Retainer: Since you are so demonstrably idle at present... Would you care to do me a small favor?
:Cloud Retainer: Once upon a time, when I had made a modest breakthrough in my mechanical studies, I built for myself a Dwelling in the Clouds suspended in the air.
:Cloud Retainer: This Dwelling in the Clouds was built principally from plaustrite, supported by a multitude of other ingenious features... In fact, its most marvelous feature of all was, was... Never mind, you would not understand even if I explained it.
:Cloud Retainer: After construction of the Dwelling in the Clouds was complete, I left the blueprints there.
:Cloud Retainer: I also added a seal, thinking that one of true affinity with the blueprints might eventually obtain them. But no — to this day, the seal stands.
:Cloud Retainer: It now seems a needless bother to me to have the blueprints stored there. Perhaps you can retrieve them from the Dwelling in the Clouds for me.
: Sure!
::Cloud Retainer: Such enthusiasm. Then do not delay, deliver them to my abode when you have found them, for that is where I shall be waiting for you.
: What are you gonna do with it?
::Cloud Retainer: Naturally, I have my reasons. But please, do not presume that you could scrutinize an idea conceived in the mind of an adeptus.
::Cloud Retainer: Delay no further. Deliver them to my abode when you have found them, for that is where I shall be waiting for you.
:Paimon: She won't even bother showing her face... Well, good thing we brought some tasty food to offer her.
:Paimon: You mean one dish is only enough to get her to speak? She sure is persnickety...
;(If you return to Cloud Retainer without the blueprints)
:Cloud Retainer: You still have not obtained the blueprints? But they are right there, in the Dwelling in the Clouds...
:Paimon: Ugh, how'd she know we hadn't fetched them yet?
:Cloud Retainer: Those blueprints are a work of my own hand, should I not be able to sense when they are in my presence? Now, fetch them forthwith!
----
;(After picking up the "Dwelling in the Clouds" Blueprints)
:Paimon: These must be the blueprints that the adeptus asked us for. Let's bring them back to her and see.
;(Return to Cloud Retainer)
:Cloud Retainer: I see you have obtained the blueprints. Now, hand them to me forthwith!
;(Domain automatically starts)
===Entering the domain===
:Cloud Retainer: Do not tarry. Hasten now, and deliver it to me. You have come this way before — or have you forgotten so soon?
;(After reaching a dead end)
:Paimon: Looks like there's no way to get up from here...
:Paimon: Where's a wind current when you need one?
----
;(Placing the blueprints before Cloud Retainer)
:Cloud Retainer: These are indeed the blueprints for my Dwelling in the Clouds. One is most pleased.
: You still haven't said what you're gonna—
:Cloud Retainer: Must you continue to question me? *sigh* Very well, considering you did make an offering...
:Cloud Retainer: One has heard of a certain Jade Chamber that hangs in the air above Liyue, built by mortal hands.
:Cloud Retainer: One has also heard that mortals value size above all else, and have on this basis proceeded to declare that said chamber is without parallel in all the world.
:Cloud Retainer: Hmph! Such are the limits of mortal comprehension, that they fail to fathom the ingenuity of the adepti.
:Cloud Retainer: Jade Chamber my foot! A glimpse at the most trivial of my mechanical accomplishments would reveal the Jade Chamber to be an utterly tedious and mundane piece of work...
: Sore loser much...
:Cloud Retainer: Nonsense! I am no loser, nor am I afflicted with sores... I merely pity the foolish! These mortals, blind to adepti ingenuity, bedazzled by the crudest of craftsmanship...
:Cloud Retainer: I fear that this will cause mechanics among mortals to develop in a woefully mistaken direction. It falls to me to point them down the right path.
:Cloud Retainer: The matter at hand is concluded. Leave at once.
;(Talk to Cloud Retainer again)
:Cloud Retainer: Whyever are you still here? Leave at once, and disturb me no further.
==Trivia==
* There are strange green floating platforms scattered across the domain during this quest, which weren't present during the first visit to this story domain. They seem to be disappearing/appearing based on how close a character is, like most other interactive objects and not just part of the level itself. However, as of 3/1/2021, no purpose was found for those platforms. More investigation is encouraged.
