(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!
