Dialogue
- (Restore the painting)
- Paimon: Huh? This is...
- (Climb a pillar and investigate the ink blot)
- With a swift leap, the figure from the painting lands right in front of you...
- Zhangsun Jijing: Greetings. I'm Zhangsun Jijing. It's an honor to meet you in person, (Young Hero/
Young Heroine). (Young Hero/ Young Heroine), may I ask why you have called out to me? Do you have urgent matters to discuss? - Paimon: Uh, nothing like that. We just saw you hopping all over the place inside the painting and got a bit curious...
- Zhangsun Jijing: Ah, I see. I was merely practicing my lightfoot techniques. That said, I'm afraid I've treated you to a rather poor display.
- Paimon: Lightfoot techniques?
- Zhangsun Jijing: Indeed. You see, since rain never falls in this realm, I'm unable to practice the "Rain Cutter" arts passed down by my master. Not wishing to let my skills wither from neglect, I've resorted to training in this manner instead.
- Zhangsun Jijing: I often think of those bygone days, when the Great Master Guhua honed his agility upon these very stone piles, eventually reaching the pinnacle of his art. We juniors are of meager talent, yet we strive to imitate even a fraction of his brilliance, hoping for the slightest bit of progress.
- Zhangsun Jijing: (Young Hero/
Young Heroine), since fate has brought us together today, and seeing as you are a fellow practitioner of martial mastery... might I ask you to enlighten me with your skills? 
Hmph, just as I'd hoped. Thou shalt witness my skill!
- Paimon: Whoa! Why are you speaking so weirdly all of a sudden? Anyway, uh, what exactly are we supposed to do?
- Actually, Paimon's the master of our Paimon Clan. Show us your moves, Master!
- Zhangsun Jijing: Ah! So I stand before the master of the Paimon Clan, Paimon herself? Forgive my ignorance.
- Paimon: Geez. Do you even hear yourself? Also, since when does the master do all the heavy lifting first?
- Zhangsun Jijing: My thanks. In that case, if I may have your attention...
- (Talk to Zhangsun)
- Zhangsun Jijing: Have a look at this — our "Plumwatcher Piles," the pride of Guhua.
- Zhangsun Jijing: May I ask you to step on the stone piles in the order I specify within the allotted time, thus demonstrating your prowess?
- No problem, it'll be a walk in the park.
- Paimon: Though there sure are a lot of "parks" to walk across... Uh, never mind.
- Actually, I bet even Paimon, the master of the Paimon Clan, could pull it off...
- Paimon: What!? That's impossible, no matter how you... Wait. Paimon probably could... but flying would be cheating, right?
- Zhangsun Jijing: Well then, (Young Hero/
Young Heroine), it's time to display your prowess.
- (Approach Zhangsun after completing the challenge)
- Zhangsun Jijing: Your technique is truly extraordinary, (Young Hero/
Young Heroine). - Paimon: Hehe, you bet! (Traveler)'s the real deal!
- Zhangsun Jijing: In that case, I wonder if this (Young Hero/
Young Heroine) might demonstrate the true essence of Leaping Techniques for me? - Zhangsun Jijing: According to the records, the ancient masters of my sect, the Guhua Clan, could scale city walls as if they were walking on flat ground. Having truly mastered the art of roof-running and wall-scaling, they distilled these skills into the Leaping Techniques.
- Incredible!
- Sounds like cat burglary to me...
- Zhangsun Jijing: Hehe, come to think of it, (Young Hero/
Young Heroine). If a thief can skip over a wall to escape justice, but we who uphold it cannot, wouldn't that leave us powerless to stop the wicked from slipping away?
- Zhangsun Jijing: Hehe, come to think of it, (Young Hero/
- Paimon: Hmm... We might as well give it a shot. You've done plenty of climbing around looking for treasure anyway, haven't you, (Traveler)?
- (Talk to Zhangsun at the marked location)
- Zhangsun Jijing: (Young Hero/
Young Heroine), are you prepared? - Let's begin.
- (Starts the challenge)
- Wait a moment.
- (Exits dialogue)
- (Talk to Zhangsun after completing the challenge)
- Zhangsun Jijing: Truly awe-inspiring. I'm deeply impressed.
- Zhangsun Jijing: That being the case... I have one more humble request. I wonder... Have you, (Young Hero/
Young Heroine), heard of the Cloud-Striding Techniques? - Zhangsun Jijing: Rumor has it that our Grandmaster, Guhua, once ascended the heavens amidst a purple haze, treading upon the very air as if it were solid ground — all made possible by none other than this legendary secret art...
- Sounds a bit far-fetched to me...
- Paimon: Yeah, sounds like some real hogwash... But come to think of it, could we pull off something similar by using a Wind Glider?
- If we could use the Wind Glider...
- Zhangsun Jijing: Oh? Then might I ask you to show me a thing or two?
- (Approach Zhangsun after completing the challenge)
- Zhangsun Jijing: Fascinating...
- Zhangsun Jijing: One could not call that "treading upon air," but you have inspired me all the same. My thanks for your guidance, (fine sir/
young heroine).
Trivia
- The Plumwatcher Piles in this quest are an exact copy of the ones in Mt. Lingmeng that stand in front of Wangshan Hall, which is the Guhua Clan's base.
