Quest Description

It seems Mt. Qingce is hiding some secrets...

(Talking to Yan'er)

Yan'er: Agh, what terrible luck...

What happened?

Yan'er: Oh, Traveler. Y'all've come up at the right time. I was but doing some, uh, research.

Yan'er: Yous know the name of this place, right? Qingce Hamlet?

Yan'er: And so, how do I say this... Do you empathize what "Qingce" means?

Understand... what?

Yan'er: Well, its origin and subconscious meaning, of course. Should have known y'all weren't the cultured sort...

It'southward pretty unique.

Yan'er: That's information technology? "It's pretty unique"? So uncultured...

Yan'er: Do you know about the Chi? According to legend, the Chi was a dragon-like monster that one time forcibly occupied this identify.

Yan'er: When Rex Lapis — or, Morax —defeated it, the Chi's body twisted into rock, its blood turned into water, and its scales became the terraced fields.

Yan'er: And in times long by, the give-and-take "Chi" as well used to hateful "Qingce."

Yan'er: And, through my long, hostage and rigorous enquiry...

Yan'er: I believe that the Chi's corpse may notwithstanding be on this mountain.

That logic didn't add upward...

Yan'er: Hmph, don't be and so dismissive. Oasis't you noticed the giant trees growing in this expanse? Don't you think that they're a lot larger and sturdier than elsewhere?

Yan'er: The locals call these Blood-Fed Copse. They believe that these trees grew past arresting the Chi'south blood, and that the area where they grew are the Chi's eyes.

Yan'er: And indeed, the growth of these trees is abnormal.

Yan'er: Even if it were not truly the corpse of that monster, in that location must be something incredible underground...

And what would the corpse be used for?

Yan'er: Uses? For a monster'due south corpse? Practice you fifty-fifty have any idea...

Yan'er: Ahem! Exercise you lot even know how valuable information technology is for research?

This is your research?

Yan'er: Of course! How could I give up on something and so... researchable?

Yan'er: I say that, just the truth is that I don't accept a lot of leads.

Yan'er: It is, afterwards all, an antediluvian legend. It'south probable that barely anyone even remembers the legend anymore.

Yan'er: After all the effort I put into finding these ruins, thinking that I might be able to find something in here...

Yan'er: ...It turned out that at that place's a Ruin Hunter standing baby-sit inside. That's why I said that my luck was terrible.

Yan'er: I'd really like to go in and have a wait, only information technology's far too dangerous. I'll probably wait until information technology leave before giving this a get.

Yan'er: Are you looking to go inside and explore, by any chance? Not that I'd end you, no, simply...

Yan'er: Please be mindful of your condom. This might exist the clue to some treasure, but it'south but a legend in the stop. Don't pay it as well much listen.

(Talk to Yan'er again): Yan'er: This manner, I can... Whoa! Y—You're still hither?; Yan'er: I'grand going to balance for a while, then... then I'll be going.; Yan'er: Take care of yourself now, and don't push yourself too much. For all we know, information technology really is just a legend.

(When reaching the Ruin Hunter): Paimon: Yikes! Information technology's a Ruin Hunter!; Paimon: Guess we're gonna take to go through this guy if we wanna search in this surface area.

(Interacting with the incomplete writing): Incomplete writing: "With the evil ophidian gone from Qingce, the magic formula that subdued information technology was no longer in effect. ..."; Incomplete writing: "...But the serpent did not perish, and its foul blood congealed inside the globe and formed stone, poisoning the world..."; Incomplete writing: "...Thus iii statues were used to subdue it..."; Paimon: ...Just three lines and Paimon's head is pain. Why are all Liyue's stories written like this?; Paimon: But anyway, that chip that goes "foul blood something something formed stone" ... does that hateful there's strange stone around here?; Paimon: Permit's accept a look around at the stones around hither and see if we can find some leads.

(Interact with a strange stone) (probably before activating the quest): Paimon: What'south this? Did someone put this upwardly here?

(After interacting with the three foreign stones, upon opening the Precious Chest): Paimon: Wow... Paimon tin't make any sense of this at all.; Paimon: Paimon tin't tell if it's supposed to be a cartoon, or writing, or... another kind of thing.; Paimon: Perhaps the locals will take an idea.; Paimon: Let'southward ask effectually in Qingce Village.

(Talking to Trivial Liu): Look at this fragment!; Little Liu: Ah! You scared me! ...What fragment?; Niggling Liu: What is it? ...You lot don't know? Go ask Granny Ruoxin, she knows everything.

(Talking to Petty Xing): Excuse me, know annihilation virtually fragments?; Piffling Xing: Fragments? Mm... I don't know.; Trivial Xing: You should get ask Granny Ruoxin, she might know.

(Talking to Trivial You): What do you make of this fragment?; Picayune You: A fragment? Uh...; Little Yous: Lemme run across... Wow. I take no idea. I've never seen one of these earlier.; Little You: Why don't yous become enquire Granny Ruoxin?

(Talking to Piffling Zuo): Tin y'all read this fragment?; Fiddling Zuo: A fragment? Hmm... No, I tin can't read it.; Little Zuo: As a matter of fact, I've never seen one in my life.; Little Zuo: You should become ask Granny Ruoxin, she might know something about it.

(Talking to Master Lu): Take a wait at this fragment?; Main Lu: Fragment? What fragment, is it from some toy that was broken?; Master Lu: I have never encountered a fragment of this kind before.; Master Lu: Perhaps you should ask the hamlet main. Possibly she might know something.

(Talking to Pops Kai): I have this fragment...; Pops Kai: A fragment, you say? Evidence me.; Pops Kai: This writing... or maybe it's not writing at all. I tin't read it, anyway.; Pops Kai: Ask the village master, she'due south gotta know something.

(Talking to Zhi): Can y'all read this fragment?; Zhi: A fragment? Hmm... No, I tin't read it.; Zhi: As a matter of fact, I've never seen i in my life.; Zhi: You should go enquire Granny Ruoxin, she might know something about information technology.

(Talking to Granny Ruoxin): I have this fragment...; Granny Ruoxin: A fragment of...? Found something curious, accept yous? Let me see...; Granny Ruoxin: Heh... No wonder yous tin can't make head or tail of it. This isn't writing on hither — it's a drawing.; Granny Ruoxin: Long, long agone, before writing was invented, people recorded events with pictures.; Granny Ruoxin: Expect, this symbol here depicts the Chi — a legendary beast. It looks like the full symbol must have been very large and complex, this is just part of it. But it's plenty for me to recognize it by.; Granny Ruoxin: My guess is that this depicts the boxing betwixt the Geo Lord and the Chi. Simply information technology's difficult to be more specific from only this one piece.; If y'all had all the pieces, could y'all make sense of information technology?; Granny Ruoxin: Oh, I don't know about that. No guarantee.; Granny Ruoxin: But what I can guarantee is that without all the pieces, I certainly tin't make sense of information technology.; Lookout man me, I'll find the rest in no time.; Granny Ruoxin: Hehe... So much enthusiasm. I similar that about young people.; Granny Ruoxin: Given what this fragment is showing, I'd say that if you really want to find the other fragments, here'southward what you should do...; Granny Ruoxin: Co-ordinate to the legend of the Geo Lord and the Chi, the battle took place at a groovy summit . And so you could try your luck on the mountaintops around here.; Granny Ruoxin: Beyond that, in that location are many traces of the battle in this area. Ruins would be a sensible place to wait.; Granny Ruoxin: In every disharmonize there is a losing side. The legend tells that later on defeating the Chi, the Geo Lord instructed our forebears to erect Geo Statues to crush the Chi'south remaining ability.; Granny Ruoxin: I'd guess you would take a college chance of finding things to do with the Chi in places with lots of Geo Statues .; Granny Ruoxin: For example, there are many Geo Statues erected west of Qingce Village. It's said that'south the very spot where the Geo Lord crushed the Chi... Maybe you'll strike lucky over that way.; Granny Ruoxin: In one case you've found all the fragments, bring them to me. I'll be waiting right hither.

Step Description

You received some clues regarding the mysterious fragments from Granny Ruoxin. One fragment is in "the highest point" in Qingce Village, another is in a nearby "ruin," and the inkling to even so another may be constitute in the Geo Statue to the west of Qingce Village.

(Talking to Granny Ruoxin again)

Remind me about the fragments?

Granny Ruoxin: Forgotten already? Well, I exercise have a addiction of rambling on and on I suppose...

Granny Ruoxin: If yous're looking for fragments continued to the great war, you lot may have more luck searching in loftier-altitude places.

Granny Ruoxin: Also, y'all should caput west and take a shut look nearby the Geo Statues.

Granny Ruoxin: Finally, it can't hurt to cheque the ruins in this area.

What makes you so sure?

Granny Ruoxin: Hahaha... I never said I was sure, at present, did I?

Granny Ruoxin: Let's but say that at my historic period, you sometimes find yourself remembering things that virtually people have forgotten.

Granny Ruoxin: When I was a child, everybody knew the tale of the Geo Lord Suppressing the Chi.

Granny Ruoxin: Only some people say that even the Geo Lord himself couldn't wipe out the Chi completely, and and so Geo Statues were used to press it down, slowly crushing it to death over time.

Granny Ruoxin: Haha. But of course, it's but an onetime story. If there was really a chance the Chi is still alive, nosotros would inappreciably feel rubber living here in Qingce Hamlet.

(Interacting with the incomplete writing near the Geo Statues): Incomplete writing: "...Male monarch Lapis overcame the Chi, but the Chi could non perish in its entirety. Thus did Male monarch Lapis conquer each of its facets in turn: its spirit was bound in the north , its basic were pinned in the south-east , its flesh was incarcerated in the n-due west , its soul was fettered in the n-e , and its class was crushed in the south-due west ..."

(Fail to solved the puzzle): Paimon: All the lights went out... Did we practise it in the wrong club?

(Interacting with the incomplete writing at the highest point of Qingce Village): Incomplete writing: "...Its basic pierced, its spirit faded, its course and soul both decimated... all the same did its flesh survive..."; Incomplete writing: Hither stands this statue, to watch in each direction : the wind-swept ruin , the snowfall-capped peak , the adepti'southward habitation , and the urban center of Liyue ...

(Upon obtaining all 3 fragments): Paimon: That makes 3 fragments nosotros've found. And it looks like they match up...; Paimon: And then nosotros just need to put them together, and... Nope. All the same makes no sense to Paimon.; Paimon: Judge we practise need to ask the locals after all, huh...

Pace Description

Yous constitute the 3 fragments after searching the area around Qingce Village. These three fragments seem to combine to form a complete picture... but y'all may need to find someone to decipher the picture if you desire to understand its subconscious meaning.

(Returning to Granny Ruoxin)

I take some fragments...

Granny Ruoxin: Let'south see now... Why, these fragments all fit together.

Granny Ruoxin: Run across here, this is the symbol for a Chi, and this Chi was defeated in a major battle.

Granny Ruoxin: Afterward, it was pinned downward in a deep place.

What's a Chi?

Granny Ruoxin: In the legends, the Chi was a dragon-like monster, and Mt. Qingce was one time its lair.

Granny Ruoxin: When King Lapis — or, Morax —defeated it, the Chi's trunk twisted into rock, its blood turned into h2o, and its scales became the terraced fields.

Granny Ruoxin: Do y'all see those sturdy trees about Qingce Village? Those are Claret-Fed Copse, said to have been nourished by the claret of the Chi.

Granny Ruoxin: But a fable is a legend. Afterwards all, who would be able to detect traces of the Chi today?

What happened after that?

Granny Ruoxin: Subsequently that... in order to seal the corpse of the Chi and foreclose it from endangering the globe again, water was used to seal its corpse, and treasures were used to pin it in the center of the vault...

Granny Ruoxin: Hmm, the residuum of it is illegible.

Does the Chi's corpse all the same exist?

Granny Ruoxin: I'chiliad afraid that other than Rex Lapis, no 1 else knows the answer to that question.

Granny Ruoxin: Then, young one, practise y'all think that the things recorded on these three fragments are truthful?

Vaults... Treasure!

Granny Ruoxin: Haha, young one... y'all can't resist the thought of treasure, can you?

Granny Ruoxin: So, exercise you think that the things recorded on these iii fragments are true?

Granny Ruoxin: Well, it's non a bad thing for a young person to bumble around a fleck.

Granny Ruoxin: But if yous really want to pursue your search according to the content of these fragments, then I say that the place you're looking for must have something to exercise with water .

Granny Ruoxin: Non but that, simply it must as well be water whose archway can exist blocked.

Is information technology... a waterfall?

Is it a pool...?

Granny Ruoxin: Let me call up... Come up to recollect of it, there is a sizable waterfall northwest of Qingce Village. I wonder if it has something to do with that vault...

Granny Ruoxin: Well, that'due south all I know. As for the rest, yous'll have to mull it over yourself.

(Talking to her again)

Granny Ruoxin: The Chi remains a shadow that haunts usa. To think that someone would have designs on its corpse!

Granny Ruoxin: ...Well, I can only hope that it's only that bunch of ii-flake crooks. But if in that location truly is something down in that location...

Granny Ruoxin: ...ah, Geo Lord, protect u.s.a....

Pace Description

According to Granny Ruoxin, if Qingce Village really houses treasure, a inkling for that may be found almost the waterfall due north of the village...

(At the Hidden Gate of Qingce): Paimon: Wait, there'southward some kind of indent in the door...; Paimon: Is something supposed to go in at that place?; The Hidden Gate of Qingce: (The stone gates are tightly shut, and there are three strange grooves on its surface. Possibly they are the primal to opening the gate...)

(After opening the vault): Paimon: Is this... That place in the fragment? The one where the Chi's corpse is?; Paimon: Wh–What's that? Information technology looks dangerous... Feels like if we don't tread carefully, we'll set something off...

(Inside the vault): Paimon: Uh-oh, behind y'all! It'southward the Treasure Hoarders!; Paimon: Ugh. We seem to run into these guys every unmarried fourth dimension there'southward treasure involved...

(After defeating all the enemies): Paimon: ...So that's it? Aw, simply what near our monster corpse? And our treasure?; Paimon: Surely a identify this big tin can't be completely empty? And think of all the effort we've put into this...; Paimon: Hmm... Shall nosotros give information technology another in one case-over, just to be certain?

Step Clarification

The gates of the vault have opened. Who knows what treasures lie in wait within...

(Reporting back to Granny Ruoxin)

Granny Ruoxin: You're back. So, did you lot observe anything?

Non a thing.

Granny Ruoxin: Hahaha. Information technology's alright, not to worry, there is nothing wrong with a bit of actress running around while you're immature enough to handle it.

Nosotros establish a whole bunch of Treasure Hoarders outside.

Granny Ruoxin: Treasure Hoarders? Did y'all chase them off?

Granny Ruoxin: Those low-down, no-expert crooks, always skulking about. They're and then abrasive. It'due south high time someone taught them a lesson.

Granny Ruoxin: And in that location was... nothing within? Hahaha, no matter, no matter at all. there is aught wrong with a bit of extra running around while y'all're young enough to handle it.

Granny Ruoxin: Here, these are for you lot. You lot've been out and about all day. Get buy something prissy to eat, and residue your legs a bit.

Granny Ruoxin: So there was nothing within... That's good, that's expert...

Trivia

Earlier Version 1.6, the quest was named "The Chi of Guyun," erroneously giving the impression that the quest was related to Guyun Stone Woods, which is located on the other terminate of Liyue. However, the Chinese quest name uses 古云 Gǔyún, "ancient tales, sayings" whereas Guyun Stone Woods uses 孤云 Gūyún, "lone deject"; they are ii unlike terms and shouldn't be conflated. The quest was renamed in English language to "The Chi of Yore" to correct this.
- In Version 1.6, the Traditional Chinese version of the game also updated the quest name to utilise 古云 "ancient tales" instead of 古雲 "aboriginal deject". While Traditional Chinese distinguishes between 雲 yún, "deject" and 云 yún, "to talk, to say", Simplified Chinese — which is the game's original language — uses 云 for both definitions. The Traditional Chinese translation interpreted the name to apply the more mutual definition, "cloud," merely chose incorrectly and corrected it in Version 1.6.
