We have confirmation of Jing Yuan's age range during Quintent era?

According to this post, patch 2.5 confirmed Jing Yuan was <100 years old during Quintet era. tanithryudo, can you confirm or deny this claim? Is this a thing? Am I going to have to re-think my fanfic?!

The memeory revival drug is illegal. I don't see how Qingzu could have purposefully had it if she had been reborn in the meantime, and still kept her current position. And she's not important enough for the Vidyadhara Preceptors to have them secretly dose her with it.

So her age is a bug, yeah... maybe she's on the longer side of "average" life expectancy, like Jingliu is for native Xianzhou. I mean, after all, someone has to average out that one gal who rebirths every few months or so.

The other potential explanation I can think of is the footnotes were added after the fact. Like Jing Yuan just has this giant stack of preceptor letters shoved somewhere and Qingzu is going through them trying to figure out what needs filing vs what gets burned. But it's a bit of a stretch...

I think there's enough normal Vidyadhara to balance out that one girl. Much like the human average life expectancy isn't going to suddenly change due to one case of early infant mortality. Qingzu's age just seems like an oversight on the writer's side.
