Qinghe Jianghu Legacies Guide (All Locations & Rewards)

Jianghu Legacies are expanded, story-driven side quests. They’re scattered across the map and often involve combat, exploration, and puzzle solving. There are a total of eight Jianghu Legacies in Qinghe. You can find them under the Story section in the Journal tab.

They have their own dedicated Jianghu Legacy tab, and once you select it, you’ll see a full list of available Legacies. Let’s go over each Jianghu Legacy, including where you can start it, a bit of backstory, and the rewards you can receive for completing each one.

01 Echoes of Old Battles

Pull up your map and travel to the Northern Vow Ruins Teleport in the Qinghe Verdant Wilds. The exact map location is pictured below.

Once you arrive, you’ll see a fort-like structure with crumbling stone walls. Standing there, it’s clear this place has a history, which leads into the story behind this Jianghu Legacy.

This is my take on the background story based on how I understood the lore provided. Many years ago, Qinghe was a prime target during times of war, sitting at the crossroads of major land and water routes. When the Khitan forces invaded, local warriors came together to form the Northern Alliance, choosing Qinghe as their final line of defense. The fighting was fierce, leaving both the land and the city permanently changed.

Even generations later, Qinghe’s story hasn’t been forgotten. Its survival came down to those who stayed behind, willing to protect it at any cost. They didn’t fight to be heroes, they fought so those who came after could live in peace.

Passing through Qinghe today, the damage is still evident. Crumbling walls, heavy silence, and the distant echo of bells stand as reminders of those who once defended the city. It’s a place shaped by sacrifice, and one that deserves to be remembered.

02 Echoes in the Shrine

Pull up your map and travel to the General's Shrine Teleport in the Qinghe Verdant Wilds. The exact map location is pictured below.

Walk up the path from the teleport, and you’ll see the shrine in the distance. This is where the Jianghu Legacy begins, and where Lie Yan’s story unfolds.

Known for his strength and discipline, Lie Yan was one of the Eight Talents of Hedong. From a young age, he trained in Iron Palm and continued to hone his skills while traveling between different martial schools. Over time, he became strong enough to face the best fighters of his era.

His final battle took place at Yannan Gate. Afterward, he disappeared, and no one knows what became of him. Rumors eventually placed him near Qinghe, leading to the General’s Shrine in Sundara Land. It’s said that only those who approach with sincerity will uncover the truth and receive his guidance.

03 Meridian Touch

Pull up your map and travel to the Stonewash Strand Teleport in the Qinghe Verdant Wilds. The exact map location is shown below.

From the teleport, continue forward until you reach a statue graveyard. This area marks the starting point of Yan Qiren’s story.

A commoner from the Jingchu area, Yan Qiren wandered the land and became known as a highly skilled thief. Through his calm demeanor and precise calculations, he earned the respect of others and quickly built a reputation within the jianghu.

Yan Qiren eventually accepted a challenge to steal the Golden Jade Guanyin. Despite it being heavily guarded, he succeeded in an instant, leaving everyone powerless to stop him. After that night, his name spread like wildfire, and he became known as “The Meridian Touch.”

However, his success meant nothing when he returned home. His family had disappeared without a trace. Those searching for answers should look toward Stonewash Strand in Qinghe, where his story continues.

04 Blind to the World

Pull up your map and travel to the Crimson Cliff Teleport in the Qinghe Moonveil Mountain. The exact map location is shown below.

Once you arrive, speak with the man standing on the cliff. This conversation begins your journey into uncovering the story of the Lunar Goddess.

A mysterious knight-errant appeared in Qinghe’s Moonveil Mountain during the Xiande era. Her name was never known, and she left no trace behind. The only stories told of her spoke of her incredible skill with the sword, earning her the title of the Lunar Goddess.

She had no interest in wealth or fame and ignored countless offers made to her. Near the end of the Xiande era, several Khitan envoys passed through Qinghe and were ambushed by local warriors. Before the ambush could succeed, all were slain by the Lunar Goddess.

After that night, she disappeared completely. Rumors claim she was last seen entering the lake at Crimson Cliff on Moonveil Mountain. Many searched for her, but found nothing.

Go ahead and progress through the quest to complete the Jianghu Legacy. Once finished, you’ll receive the following rewards:

05 Afterglow

Pull up your map and travel to the Porcelain Kiln Teleport in the Qinghe Moonveil Mountain. The exact map location is shown below.

Follow the road to the blue book marker on your map. This path will lead you into a foggy area, marking the start of this Jianghu Legacy and the story of Qiu Yuehai.

Famous for his mastery of the twelve-foot spear, Qiu Yuehai was a man from the lands of Jin. He moved with such speed and precision that it seemed as though he barely touched the ground. Those who witnessed him in battle spoke of him as a true champion, saying he could figuratively grasp the sun and moon themselves.

Set in Qinghe, I once heard a story of wine jars arranged beneath an ancient tree. A warrior moved among them with spear in hand, so swiftly that not a single jar was disturbed. This figure earned the name Wine Jar Celestial. Looking back, it’s believed that this warrior was none other than Qiu Yuehai himself.

06 Cries in the Distance

Pull up your map and travel to the Moonveil Peak Teleport in the Qinghe Moonveil Mountain. The exact map location is shown below.

From the teleport, walk forward and listen for someone yelling. Follow the sound until you reach a trapdoor, this is where the Jianghu Legacy begins.

During the Tianyou era, an event known as the Baima Station Incident led to the deaths of all Ten Sages of the Inkbound Order. To preserve their legacy and teachings, their disciples secretly took several important scrolls focused on Yin-Yang arts and disappeared into the remote regions of Qinghe. What happened to them afterward remains unknown.

Some believe the disciples stayed hidden, quietly running an academy to keep the knowledge alive. Others think they withdrew completely, choosing to live peaceful lives away from the world.

Years later, during the Xiande era, the Peace Bell Tower was built in hopes of bringing harmony to the land. Around that time, villagers discovered fragments of ancient scrolls scattered across the mountainside. Many believe these remnants are the lost writings of the Ten Sages, and it’s hard not to think they might be.

07 Where a Thousand Buddhas Wept

Pull up your map and travel to the Thousand-Buddha Vale Teleport in the Qinghe Sundara Land. The exact map location is shown below.

Once you arrive at the teleport, head toward the blue book icon to begin the Jianghu Legacy. Before diving in, here’s some background on the story.

The Village of Thousand-Buddha was named for its people’s deep devotion to the Buddhist faith. In the early days of the Xiande era, that devotion grew extreme. A wandering monk named Miaoshan arrived and warned the villagers that their worship had become misguided, but his warning was ignored, and he was driven away.

Not long after, disaster struck. The village was engulfed in flames, leaving nothing behind.

Years later, during the Jianlong era, travelers passing through the ruins reported hearing cries echoing through the area. Many believe these were the voices of trapped spirits, still unable to find peace.

Go ahead and progress through the quest to complete the Jianghu Legacy. Once finished, you’ll receive the following rewards:

Final: The Promised Light

Pull up your map and travel to the Halo Peak Teleport in the Qinghe Sundara Land. The exact map location is shown below.

Once you arrive at the teleport, follow the path upward until you reach a large tower. This is where the Jianghu Legacy begins.

A native of Qinghe, Tian Ying grew up in poverty and lived a quiet life in his early years. He later studied under the Inkbound Order before entering service under Daoji, where he slowly rose in status.

When Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou launched a campaign against the Liao Dynasty, the Liao ruler sent his uncle as an envoy to the Southern Tang. Daoji saw this as a chance to eliminate the envoy, but Tian Ying refused, believing it would only create a bigger problem.

Later, the Southern Tang hosted a banquet for the Liao envoy at Qingfeng Post. After heavy drinking, the envoy never returned and was later found dead. The Southern Tang ruler ordered Tian Ying’s arrest, but he escaped. The Liao and Southern Tang met their demise, and Tian Ying was never seen again.
