Before version 4.4, Cloud Retainer only appeared in its cranium form and only visited her disciples in Liyue Harbour. But Xianyun is not only a master at Genshin Impact; she enjoys creating artifacts, so she will need all kinds of materials, such as ascension materials and talents, to make new inventions. These Cloud Retainer creations have shown usefulness in cooking, gardening, and more, but now it’s her time to shine in combat.
Genshin Impact: All Xianyun Ascension Materials
Although the Xianyun domain is on Mt. Aocang, her ascension materials cannot be found in this part of Genshin Impact. The Clearwater Jade comes from Chenyu Vale Southern Mountain. In this same area is Boss Solitary Suanni, with whom you can get Vayuda Turquoise and Cloudseam Scale.

All Xianyun Talent Level-Up Materials
To obtain the talent material for Xianyun, Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom, you must challenge the Genshin Impact Weekly Boss All-Devouring Narwhal. HoYoverse added this boss in version 4.3 in Fontaine. Her Books of Gold belong to Liyue’s Taishan Mansion domain but are only available on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Once you have all these ascension materials and talents, you will maximize the bonuses Xianyun can provide to other Genshin Impact characters. Diluc, Xiao, or Gaming are examples, as they benefit significantly from the Cloud Retainer kit’s plunge attack buff. If you get Xianyun, she will be an excellent addition to characters with descendant attacks in your party.
