While your Martial Arts will generally not matter, as you can defeat her with any that you have equipped. Having the Panacea Fan will definitely come in handy due to the healing effect that it provides.

For Mystic Arts, make sure to equip the Meridian Touch ability, as you will need this to counter a certain move by Murong Yuan.

Here is an in-depth explanation of Murong Yuan's moveset and how to counter them:

Phase 1

• You will need to watch out for two attacks where her sword will glow golden. One of them can be countered using Meridian Touch, while the other should be dodged. Keep an eye out for when the game asks you to use the ability
• When her sword glows red, take a step back and dodge the first attack, which cannot be parried or blocked. This will be immediately followed by a second strike that you can parry.
• Let your Companion take the boss's aggro if you are using one, but do not let them die, as you will need them during phase 2.

Phase 2

• The mechanical bird will fire projectiles, which you can deflect. When the bird's Qi bar is depleted, do not perform a finisher and let it be stunned for a while. Your objective is to take down Murong Yuan only.
• Murong Yuan will often call the bird and fly away. Be prepared to dodge as she will perform a plunge attack. Make sure to get clear of the area where she lands, as it will deal you burn status effect damage.

Defeating the Murong Yuan boss in Where Winds Meet will allow you to claim rewards at the cost of your stamina.
