Paimon wants to get a release "Guide to Teyvat"dedicated to Li Yue, so the traveler is going to buy it.

At this moment, a mysterious young man will sneak up and offer to go there together - he also needs a book. He will introduce himself as Xingqiu, and the heroes will go for the necessary publications.

Where to find Chan the Ninth

The area where you need to look for NPCs is marked with a yellow circle on the map. He lives in the distance, so look in the eastern part of the circle - go to the rocks, on which a wooden staircase is visible and climb it. Chan the Ninth is standing near the house, talk to him.

During the conversation, the traveler learns about his problems and that the man is required to sell ore at a low price, therefore, in order to find money, he pawned his entire rich book collection. Luckily, the book Xingqiu was looking for is too rare and expensive to sell, so the young man gets what he came for.

Return to Li Yue and go up to Yujing Terrace. Near one of the houses there is a guard, approach him.

Ask the guards

Where is Xin Yue's tent located: eavesdrop on the conversation

The tent is opposite the Mingxing Jewelry House, but you need to go up to one of the upper floors. Go up the stairs and find Maotsai Gong. A cut-scene will start, in which the traveler will receive the necessary information - the mentioned businessman is discussing a contract with Agent Fatui. The organization from Snezhnaya is really involved in the case, which needs to be told to Xingqiu.

Tell us about Maotsai Gong's plans

Go to Yujing Terrace and find a young man standing near the railing. Talk to him and tell him what you learned. Xingqiu will ask you to deliver a letter to Fei Yun's guild - this is a very serious for his plan. He will not be able to help personally, so pick up the message and go to the guild.

Calm Before the Storm

Deliver the Letter to Fei Yun's Trade Guild

The desired NPC is standing near the guild building, located right next to the stairs leading to the embankment. The task will be updated as soon as you approach the employee.

Talk to Fei Yun Guild Clerk

Start a conversation and give the letter to the employee. The author's handwriting is terrible, but Xu recognizes it, and the traveler realizes that this is not the first time the employee has met him. The attitude towards the hero changes dramatically, and Xu invites him in and rest while he prepares. During the visit, it is reported that in order to fulfill Xingqiu's plan, you need to buy out all the cor lapis in the city, the Rift and from Chan the Ninth, in total you need to visit 5 merchants. All expenses are borne by the merchant guild.

Where to buy cor lapis in the city

The traveler is given a clearly dimensionless mora purse and the task is to buy all the ore reserves from three merchants - Chang Shun, Bo Lai and Ivanovich. Merchants are marked on the Harbor map with an orange marker, the order in which they are addressed does not matter.

Chang Shun closest to the exit of the guild, you can go to her first. Talk to the girl, and she will say that she already has people who want to buy ore. Upon learning that the traveler is from Fei Yun, the merchant will immediately stop doubting and offer to sign a contract. First batch received.

On the waterfront you can find the next merchant - Ivanovich. He, too, has those who want to buy cor lapis, and he doubts about selling to a traveler. After choosing any answer, Ivanovich will change his mind, and then ask to sign a contract. Quest progress will increase.

On the lower tier of the embankment, right under Ivanovic, there is Bo Lai's shop. him to start a conversation and tell him that they came from the Fei Yun Trade Guild. The trader will not argue, he will say to sign and agree to send all the cor lapis to the warehouse of the organization. Shopping in the city is over, now you need to go to the Rift.

How to buy lapis bark from Strongman Shizhuang at the Rift

The desired location is located to the west of the Lingju , near the border of the accessible part of the map. Along the way, you will meet enough enemies - hilichurls and slimes. Near the rocks, find the foreman of the miners - Strongman Shizhuang, and talk to him. He already knows that the traveler buys up all the corlapis and names the price for his party - 7 million mora. But Paimon is negotiating, the foreman does not want problems with Fei Yun's guild, so he agrees to concessions. However, there is no goods - the carts are stolen by hilichurls. You'll have to find them yourself.

Where to find wagons with cor lapis

There are 5 carts in total, and they are all located inside the yellow circle on the map. The right ones are filled with small barrels or vases, covered with a piece of light-colored cloth, signed as "Cart" and marked with a spark.

Located next to the main road that leads to the mines,
Further on the same road guarded by two hilichurls:
Stands behind the logs that are next to the first cart:
To the left of the third cart, it is guarded by three hilichurlas:
Go down the road down from the fourth cart. The one you need is on the rocks under a canopy in the southern part of the search area marked on the map:

After finding all the carts with ore, return to the strongman Shizhuang, he is standing in the same place.

Ask Shizhuang about cor lapis

Talk to him and show the cart marks on the map. The foreman this time is much more peaceful and will gladly sign a contract, giving away his batch of ore. Now it remains to visit the fifth merchant.

Buy ore from Chan the Nine

Return to the village of Qingce to the old merchant and talk to him. It turns out that he was asked for a 70% discount on the entire ore stock, but he agrees to a maximum of 60%. Paimon will redeem the entire stock at the market price, but the travelers will not reveal the details of their plan. Further the most interesting part of the plan begins Xingqiu.

Justice Is Its Own Reward

Where is Fei Yun's Commerce Guild Warehouse located?

The desired location is marked with a yellow marker on the map, and a new acquaintance is already waiting there. Xingqiu will bring his gratitude for the work done and share the results of his own. It turns out that all this time he just read the book and enjoyed it, and he is very pleased with the found copy and the story.

Also, the guy will finally begin to tell the details of his plan. The ransom of all the lapis bark was necessary so that Maotsai Gong could not get it himself, and his contract with Fatui depended on this. If the merchant fails to fulfill it, then the man will be very disappointed. Maocai Gong is a very important figure in Li Yue's business, but Fei Yun's guild is a serious contender. Soon the culprit himself arrives at the warehouse and finds out who bought up all the ore.

Repel Fatui's attack

The merchant comes not alone, but with allies. Most of them are ordinary people who will not cause any problems, there will be only one wave. Next will appear Agent Fatui - an unpleasant and strong opponent with high damage, mobility and invisibility for a short time. Xingqiu will again become an ally for this time and the squad.

After the victory, talk to the Agent. He will appreciate the skills and refuse to continue the battle himself. Maotsai Gong will try to set him against the traveler, but he will remind you of an exclusively business relationship and will not want to solve other people's problems. At this moment, Xu, already familiar to the hero, arrives at the warehouse and is very surprised to see Xingqiu.

Now the traveler will finally find out who his companion really was all this time - the young man turns out to be the second son of the head of Fei Yun, so he has such connections and opportunities. The guy forces him to accept his trading rules and hints that Fatui will not be left with an unfulfilled contract so easily. Recalling the story of Chan the Ninth, he charges three times the market price for the entire supply of lapis bark, and Maotsai Gong has to cooperate on his .

The young man's plan has been successfully completed, and in a conversation you can tease him about the terrible handwriting, this will not affect the result. But Xingqiu will ask for another small favor - to return the book to its owner. Again, you will have to go to the village of Qingce.

Return the book to Chan the Ninth

The book will appear in your inventory and can be read during the quest. Return to Chan the Ninth and talk to him. He will tell you that in the morning of this day he bought out his entire collection of novels. He is very grateful for the help with his problems and prepared for a gift - a copy "Guide to Teyvat"dedicated to Li Yue. The presentation is immediately added to the archive, and it can be read.

Strange bookmark in Genshin Impact

A bookmark will drop from the book you transferred, but it will not appear in the inventory, as well as a possible interaction or achievement. You can guess that this thing belongs to Xingqiu.
