How to Chase the Butterflies

Talk to the Sacred Simulacra

After chasing all the Butterflies into the Medicine Jar, talk to the Sacred Simulacra, and have it perform the ritual to restore the Herblord's Ancient Tree.

Investigate the Ancient Tree

Then, investigaste the ancient tree, and obtain the Ancient Tree Branch by breaking it off. Afterwards, open the Luxurious Chest nearby, and check out the butterflies beside it. Doing so teleports you to the Adeptus's Repose.

Return to Adeptus's Repose

As you return to Adeptus's Repose, look for the medicine jar mentioned by the Sacred Simulacra. It's the jar nearby where butterflies flutter around it. After slotting in the Tree Branch, it will open the locked room in Adeptus's Repose!

Explore the Hidden Vault

Once the locked room in Adeptus's Repose is opened, you can then enter it to loot it. You can open the Luxurious Chest inside that will give you 5x Qingxins, 5x Violetgrasses, and 5x Chenyu Adeptea, aside from the usual Primogem and other material rewards!

The quest will end once you've read at least one of the Ancient Texts inside! You can also place the Sacred Simulacra from outside the room onto the empty pedestal, to get extra Mora!
