    Summary

    The Cloud Recesses Guest Lectures were held every three years for disciples between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. They had three purposes.

    The first (and the reason it was hosted by the Lan) was to provide a shared baseline understanding of the core cultivation topics that underpinned every sect while not divulging clan-specific approaches.

    The second was to create opportunities for friendships and alliances that would reduce the chance of war between the clans.

    The third, and most important, was for the clans to replenish their bloodline by finding compatible mates with strong cultivation skills. In the last month of the lectures, challenges to test compatibility may be issued.

    Wei Wuxian challenges Lan Wangji, sure that they are compatible mates. The Lan refuse to allow the Challenge.

    They come to regret it.

    Summary

    When Wei Wuxian achieved immortality, nobody was as impressed with him as he thought they would be.

    It was almost insulting. So it was all thanks to demonic cultivation—so what? He invented demonic cultivation! He spent years working on it, developed and perfected it all on his own, rarely accepting help from outside parties, Lan Wangji included. Let’s see somebody else invent a new path of cultivation entirely by themselves! Then they could look down on him!

    …But maybe it was true that it was kind of an accident.

    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Wei Wuxian asked after downing the second cup.

    Lan Wangji sat down on the bed beside him. “Checking on you.”

    Summary

    They call for Hanguang-jun when a huli jing with black fur and eight tails appears. Hanguang-jun, they cry, chase this shadow away! The appearance of a huli jing heralds catastrophe (ignoring the fact that this one survived long enough to eight tails without any associated wrongs).

    The huli jing is an orphan and he knows little about his own species. He does not know that he will ascend to the heavens upon his ninth tail; he attributes those tales to a human need for entertainment. He knows nothing about celestial foxes.
