I wander the vast, painted landscapes of Teyvat, and in my travels, I've found that the world whispers its secrets not just in the wind or the ley lines, but in the pages of forgotten books. Among the bustling harbors and serene mountains of Liyue, a particular story calls out to collectors like myself—a tale bound in six scattered volumes known as The Legend of the Shattered Halberd. It's a 4-star martial arts epic penned by the elusive Mr. Nine, a story so potent it even shaped the fantastical persona of a certain Prinzessin from Mondstadt. For me, collecting these books isn't just a chore for a few Primogems; it's a quiet pilgrimage to piece together a narrative that the land itself seems to remember.

My journey often begins, as many do, in the heart of commerce and stories: Liyue Harbor. The scent of salt and silk hangs in the air as I climb the familiar red staircase to the Wanwen Bookhouse. Old Jifang, the keeper of tales, always has a knowing glint in his eye. For a modest sum of Mora, he parts with three precious volumes right off the shelf—the 1st, 4th, and 5th installments of the saga. It's the easiest part of the hunt, honestly. Buying them feels like... well, like cheating a little. But hey, a traveler's got to start somewhere!

The search for the 2nd volume takes me far from the harbor's clamor, north to the tranquil Stone Gate. Teleporting there is like stepping into a different breath of Liyue—slower, older. I follow a creaking wooden path down to a small rest stop, where merchants hawk their wares under colorful banners. And there it is, waiting not in a shop or a chest, but resting innocently on a rustic table beside a chatting couple. It feels like finding a letter left behind by a previous traveler, a little piece of the story just... taking in the view.

Now, the 3rd volume? This one requires patience and good timing. Back in Liyue Harbor, near the glittering displays of Mingxing Jewelry, I seek out the storyteller, Liu Su. He doesn't just hand his stories to anyone; you have to catch him in the right moment, when the morning sun is just right (around 9 AM, to be precise). I sit on the steps, listen to his tales of gods and heroes, and choose to "Listen In" with genuine curiosity. After a few stories, as if rewarding a attentive pupil, he finally presents the book. It's a lesson in itself—some treasures aren't bought or found, but earned through listening.

The final piece, the 6th volume, is tied to fate and friendship. It comes not from a location, but from a person—the elegant and bookish Xingqiu. By helping him navigate his own chivalric dilemmas in his questline, culminating in "Justice Is Its Own Reward," he entrusts me with the concluding chapter. It's a fitting end; the story of a shattered halberd is completed through an act of justice and camaraderie. The moment the last book settles into my inventory, the world quietly acknowledges the feat.

With all six volumes gathered, the whispers fall silent, replaced by a satisfying chime. The achievement "Divine Halberd Mocks the Heavens" unlocks, and a shower of Primogems (10 in total for the set and the achievement) sparkles into my possession. But the real reward? It's the completed narrative in my hands, a story collected from dusty shops, sun-drenched tables, a storyteller's lips, and a friend's gratitude. It's a map of Liyue written in chapters, and I've walked every line.
