Yanyun Sixteen Voices: A Guide to New Swallows Returning, Yanyun Sixteen Voices: An Introduction to the Task Process of New Swallows Returning

Sixteen Sounds of Yan Yun: New Swallows Return is actually a simple main quest tutorial that mainly teaches players how to explore the open world, use bows, learn special skills, and interact with NPCs for bargaining. The entire quest process is not long or complicated, but some tutorial guides might be a bit difficult for some players to understand. Below is a rough introduction to the entire process, following it will help you complete the task.

Past

In this quest, no one was seen on the red line, so the player decided to search carefully in the old residence near the bamboo forest. The quest location is beside the Bamboo Seclusion Boundary Stone. The entire quest process starts with waking up Red Line and then searching for clues outside the house, equipping weapons and martial arts (the quest triggers automatically after character customization, naming, and cutscenes); then entering the house to inspect the strange jar on the table and finding the letter in the hidden compartment. Finally, check the cleaned spirit tablet nearby. Task rewards include Jiang Wu Lang's old spear, short陌money, Qinghe area exploration points, character experience, and Zhou Yuan coins.

Departure

In this quest, although the player did not find the black-clothed man, the strange dragon-pattern mark and Uncle Jiang's old letter are significant gains. Take this opportunity to accompany Red Line to the General Shrine. The quest location is also beside the Bamboo Seclusion Boundary Stone. The entire quest process involves first finding Red Line outside the house and talking to her. Then proceed to the Broken Bridge with Red Line and trigger the QTE to jump over the bridge. After crossing the bridge, encounter the rare "Phantom Butterfly Hundred-Eyed Lotus," which can be collected by using a bow to shoot down nearby butterflies; staying too long near the "Phantom Butterfly Hundred-Eyed Lotus" will cause a toxic fog status. Continue forward and follow Red Line out of the bamboo forest. Task rewards include short陌money, Qinghe area exploration points, character experience, and Zhou Yuan coins.

Archery

The main purpose of this quest is to help players understand how to shoot arrows. The quest description mentions discovering the truth behind the fallen white bird and speaking with the NPC who shot it. The quest location is also beside the Northern Bamboo Forest Boundary Stone. This process is not complicated; first, find the NPC who shot the white bird, named Feng Jisheng, and talk to him to obtain archery insights.

Speak to Feng Jisheng again, participate in an archery competition and defeat him. Feng Jisheng's efficiency isn't fast, so as long as you don't miss too much, you can win. Mainly focus on using the special skill "Still Water." Press the "1" key on your keyboard during use. After completing the task, speak to Feng Jisheng again to receive rewards: special skill "Still Water," Zhenyu, Changmingyu, short陌money, Qinghe area exploration points, character experience, and Zhou Yuan coins.

Wilderness

The quest description mentions a stranger calling himself a wanderer mysteriously summoning the player. Follow the guide to the quest location "Hundred Herbs Wilderness Wanderer." This quest process is not complicated; just approach this strange stranger and talk to him to obtain "Qinghe Map Scroll 1" (unlocking the Hundred Herbs Wilderness region map). Speak to the stranger again and choose "Bargain." He will ask you to drive away a bear, watching the bear's movements allows you to steal the special skill "Tai Chi" (choosing to give 50 Changmingyu has an Easter egg).

Wild Shrine

This quest requires the player to meet Red Line at the General Shrine. A martial arts competition is taking place on the arena inside the shrine, and Red Line has already signed up for the player. After winning the arena title smoothly, you can claim rewards from Old Jin. After receiving the reward, Red Line happily lingers at the General Shrine unwilling to leave. The quest location is at "General Shrine." The process is not complicated; first, head to the General Shrine. On the way, you may see a group of fat and thin bandits robbing horses; you can choose to ignore or stop them. Successfully stopping them unlocks a mount, which can be summoned by pressing the "6" key. Upon arriving at the General Shrine, speak to the NPC "Fang Xu" and participate in the arena challenge and win.

After winning, speak to Old Jin and choose not to buy his goods. Speak to Old Jin again and bargain to receive the Black Mountain Dao glove and the special skill "Listen to the Wind." Unpack the gift with Red Line to receive the appearance "Emerging from Obscurity." Subsequently, speak to Red Line and Guang Huizi before preparing to head to Immortal Crossing. Rewards include: appearance "Emerging from Obscurity," special skill "Listen to the Wind," Road Sign Formula, Quenching Tour, Prosperous Road Sign, Hemostatic Powder, Changmingyu, short陌money, Qinghe area exploration points, character experience, and Zhou Yuan coins.

Thus concludes the Sixteen Sounds of Yan Yun: New Swallows Return quest. The game's progress here is roughly the end of the prologue. Next, head to Immortal Crossing, where you will meet Aunt Jiang and Dead Man's Blade, and understand what true jianghu (martial world) is. The protagonist's various romanticized views and filters about the jianghu will be shattered in this chapter.
