Dialogue
- (Open the door to the Arcane Archive)
- Paimon: Ugh, it's completely rusted... It's next to impossible to get this thing open!
- (Read "Key to Martial Principles," optional)
- "Key to Martial Principles": I... Guhua... Aloof... Spear.
- Paimon: Um, is this... Some kind of talisman? No, there are some words faintly written on this...
The handwriting looks like cursive script...
- Paimon: No, this is beyond cursive! Paimon can't read any of this!
- At least talismans have legible writing on them!
- Paimon: Well, yeah...
- (Read "The Three Snacks You Absolutely Must Try in Yilong Wharf," optional)
- "The Three Snacks You Absolutely Must Try in Yilong Wharf": (The colorful pamphlet describes the three most famous snacks in Yilong Wharf in great detail with pictures and words.)
- Paimon: Paimon's getting a little hungry looking at these. (Traveler), do you want to try them out later?
- Paimon: ...Wait, why is this in the Arcane Archive?
- (Interact with the mechanism in the middle of the room, optional)
- Paimon: Huh, the mechanisms here don't seem to be reacting... Is there something else we should try?
- (Read "Guhua Notes")
- "Guhua Notes": ...Practicing the Light Piercer technique. Destroyed all the dummies by mistake... No money or resources... I've got an idea. I'll tie straws together to make my own...
- "Guhua Notes": Gathering straw.
- "Guhua Notes": Tying straw. Exhausting.
- "Guhua Notes": ...Practicing the Light Piercer technique. Destroyed all the dummies by mistake... I might as well train with the sword first.
- Continue reading.
- "Guhua Notes": ...Bored. As I sat before the courtyard, I felt slightly hungry... I pondered on what I saw the other day, and I suddenly felt enlightened. If I use the sword... (indiscernible) I'll call it Rain Cutter. I'll try it another day.
- "Guhua Notes": ...I accidentally fell while practicing Rain Cutter. Luckily, it's nothing serious... I thought of an idea. Why not dig a deep pond below the piles? Not only will it prevent injuries from falls, but I can raise fish for food...
- "Guhua Notes": ...I went to a fisherman and bought dozens of fish... I tried to cook them. Their deliciousness was unrivaled...
- "Guhua Notes": (The next ten or so pages are dedicated to detailed records of cooking methods for fish, and some are even paired with illustrations.)
- "Guhua Notes": ...Accidentally fell while practicing Rain Cutter.
- "Guhua Notes": ...Success.
- Continue reading.
- "Guhua Notes": ...The spear and sword must be wielded with the same mastery as... (Indiscernible. There is a comment from the 3rd Master beside it: second nature.) ... And that, is the truth... Yet there is none... How shall it be granted? How shall it be revealed?
- "Guhua Notes": ...Renovate the library. Design... within, and...
- "Guhua Notes": ...Look with the eyes, and combine scrolls of knowledge from all places with chambers of all corners, then...
- "Guhua Notes": (The next few pages are smudged and unintelligible. There is a comment from the 3rd Master at the side: This advises future generations to read extensively.)
- Continue reading.
- "Guhua Notes": ...Recovered from injury. The little Bai kid visited with mutton and fish. Plump, delicious, and without any pungent smells. I asked for the recipe... Passed down the Life Ender technique... Recorded here.
- "Guhua Notes": (The following pages contain detailed records of various methods of cooking mutton.)
- I've had enough. It's such a mess...
- I've had enough. The training process isn't recorded at all...
- I've had enough of this nonsense...
- (After the player finishes reading "Guhua Notes")
- Paimon: Oh, there was also a line in that book just now that really bothered Paimon...
- Paimon: It said something along the lines of "Observe it with your eyes." Could it be trying to say that we should use Elemental Sight?
- (Investigate the bookshelf with the unmarked frame, optional)
- (Traveler): (This bookshelf is full of martial arts novels for some reason. Though the contents are fascinating, they are probably quite useless for improving martial prowess...)
- (Investigate the bookshelf with the purple frame, optional)
- (Traveler): (The books on this bookshelf are more or less related to the speed of "lightning"...)
- (Investigate the bookshelf with the orange frame, optional)
- (Traveler): (The books on this bookshelf are more or less related to the blazing "summer heat"...)
- (Investigate the bookshelf with the blue frame, optional)
- (Traveler): (The books on this bookshelf are more or less related to the enduring nature of "rain"...)
- (Investigate the bookshelf with the yellow frame, optional)
- (Traveler): (The books on this bookshelf are more or less related to the robustness of "rock"...)
- (Complete the puzzle)
- Paimon: Whoa, the water level's dropping!
- Paimon: Did we... Did we actually find the Guhua Clan's treasure after all? (Traveler), let's go take a look!
