The game’s clues
After the blind swordsman at the bottom of the Crimson Cliff created the Inner Way, it was given to a skilled musician who played the pipa, the blind girl's favorite. Some say that the Inner Way was then passed around before it ended up with Qi Sheng the Oddity Merchant.
At Qi Sheng’s Qinghe Oddity exchange, unlock Melody of Merit I. The direct prerequisite path spends 9 Oddities in total; side branches cost extra.
