Sunken City Lake Where Winds Meet Guide: Unlock, Dreamtouch Brush, Entrance, and Rewards
Sunken City Lake is not just a lake location search. It is a Qinchuan campaign quest that unlocks after progress in To Friends, to the End. The practical path is: advance the painter chain, talk to the painter by the large rock near Sunken City Lake, pick up the Dreamtouch Brush, then search underwater for the entrance.

Answer-first walkthrough
Step 1
Progress To Friends, to the End first
If the painter does not trigger Sunken City Lake, return to the Qinchuan Worldly Affairs chain. This is the most important blocker behind the breakout query.
Step 2
Speak with the painter near Sunken City Lake
After prerequisites, go to the large rock near Sunken City Lake and talk to the painter to unlock the campaign route.
Step 3
Pick up the Dreamtouch Brush
Follow the waypoint after the painter conversation. The brush is found left from the grass near ruins; treat it as the quest key that moves you into the lake sequence.
Step 4
Search underwater for the entrance
Use the waypoint and conserve stamina. If you can glide/float over water with Idle Wind, use it until you need to dive directly toward the entrance marker.
Step 5
Follow the city sequence and chase Lan Ao
Later beats include following scent with Wind Sense, entering the house by the medicine stall, finding a warehouse key, investigating a cliff, and listening to Fang Bai / Lan Ao conversations.
Step 6
Collect rewards and return to Qinchuan cleanup
After completion, use Qinchuan hub for chests, oddities, and remaining linked quests.
