Fragrant Wood Merchant香木屋

The City wasn't always so morose, but His Majesty lost all confidence after losing us the war. He laid those barricades everywhere, then holed himself away within the Palace of Heavenly Purity. How do we know if he's even alive? How could our leader fall so low?

How can His Majesty not show his face on the very day of a ritual that's to make way for a Divine Beast?!

I'm worried about today's ritual. Did you hear about the awful curse that tainted the ritual last time? Qinglong's host, a humble monk, was attacked by a storm of miasma right as the ritual started. The monk turned into a wooden statue, and the ritual ended in abrupt failure. We don't know what'll happen this time. Heck, we don't even know the identity of the host that's to become Xuanwu!

I heard that the feng shui master who jinxed Qinglong's original host was beheaded for ruining the ritual. As for Qinglong's host, the monk, his wooden statue was enshrined in the Tower of Flourishing Qi.

The Tower of Flourishing Qi is north from the Hall of Imperial Supremacy. Use a taixi doll on the wooden monk. Taixi fills the body with life essence. The dolls are traditionally used to restore lost vitality.

Oh! That hermit statue is a taixi doll! If you hold that up to the wooden monk, you'll be able to speak with him!

To speak with the wooden monk, hold the taixi doll up to him.

That will allow the doll to restore the monk's withered life essence.
