Start with Huijing’s three clues
Speak to Huijing outside the temple at Bodhi Sea in Qinghe. His clues describe three different acquisition methods: a sacred location, a person carrying a book, and a thieves’ hideout.
Prepare Celestial Seize and know how to change the in-game hour before searching. The books are not all ordinary chests, so a sweep that only opens visible containers will miss one.
Volume I: bow twice at Wu hour
Travel southwest from Bloomveil Monastery Outpost to the stone stele in a clearing. Read the inscription and locate the green mat in front of it.
Set the clock to Wu hour, stand on the mat and perform the Bow action twice. Collect Miaoshan’s Quotes I from the chest at the stone’s base once it opens.
If nothing happens, check the hour, position and completed gestures separately. Two rapid inputs are not necessarily two finished bows, and a gesture performed beside the mat may not count.
Volume II: seize it from Wang Er
Go north of Bloomveil Monastery Outpost, toward the cliff west of the nearby Boundary Stone. Find Wang Er at the edge and use Celestial Seize to take Miaoshan’s Quotes II.
This step targets an NPC-held item. Searching the cliff for a hidden chest or fighting unrelated enemies does not substitute for the Seize interaction. Confirm the volume’s pickup before leaving him.
Volume III: search the underground camp
Enter the cave north of Bodhi Sea and follow it into the hall occupied by Aureate Pavilion guards and their commander. Reach the campfire on the raised area and inspect the wooden box nearby for Miaoshan’s Quotes III.
Deal with enemies that prevent a safe interaction, then check the item itself. Defeating the commander and collecting the book are separate actions; do not leave merely because combat ends.
Return the complete set
Bring all three volumes back to Huijing and finish the handover. If he still needs a volume, compare the inventory names against this checklist:
| Volume | Acquisition check |
|---|---|
| I | Wu-hour shrine chest opened after two bows |
| II | Celestial Seize pickup from Wang Er |
| III | Wooden box near the cave campfire inspected |
Use the missing volume to choose your return trip. Repeating the entire three-stop circuit adds travel without helping when only one pickup failed to register.
