As far as I know, Bailu wasn't given meds to suppress her aging.
Hm...interesting. I guess that's more an implication due to that medication existing on the same item that contained the entry on the memory potion, but there's nothing explicit.
Dan Feng naming her successor was important, in terms of internal Vidyadhara tradition/law/whatever. That action has to be locked in, for her to have the current high elder position. It's not something anyone else other than Dan Feng can confer, and it was specifically Dan Feng who conferred it.
Yeah, so the most likely time this happened must have been while he was in jail, as I mentioned it doesn't make sense to name his experiment the successor before he can confirm it was a success.
Based on common sense, someone would have to inform him that his abomination dragon turned into an egg and it shows signs of becoming a viable Vidyadhara or that Bailu already hatched to confirm the success of his experiment. At which point Dan Feng can name her the successor since he's...well, in jail. But that's reasonable and logical, so miHoyo probably will write something completely different.
Let's throw Taoran in there while we're at it... He presumably went through natural rebirth some time after Dan Feng's molting. But he now looks older than Dan Heng.
Very fair point. Maybe traveling on the Express stunted Dan Heng's growth.
Or maybe the reality is miHoyo sucks at writing.
Yes, I expect we will end up with self contradictory timeline in the end. Maybe it's best they stop trying to fill in the blanks. -_-
This is my constant ambivalence when it comes to Xianzhou. Lore-wise it's the most interesting, but the more story happens there the worse the story gets.
