Starting Location: Mt. Aocang
Go to Wangshu Inn
Teleport to Wangshu Inn.
From the Teleport Waypoint, head inside and up the stairs to the right.
At the top, step outside onto the balcony. Xiao shows up long enough to tell you to give up your efforts.
Ask the boss Lady about Xiao
From the balcony, head back inside and down the stairs.
Go down one more flight and speak to the lady behind the counter, Verr Goldet.
Make a Delicious Satisfying Salad
Turn back the way you came but go down a flight of stairs to the kitchen. Make the Delicious Satisfying Salad now if you have the ingredients.
For all recipes, you can make a “delicious” version of each dish. To do so, you need to time your button press for when the cursor passes over the yellow second of the bar.
It’s worth mentioning that you can find all of these ingredients out in the wild, but the vendors mentioned below are much easier to reach versus running all around the map to collect everything.
If you need Eggs, travel to Springvale in the daytime.
From the Teleport Waypoing, head southeast and find Draff by the road.
If you need Potatoes or Cabbage, go to Dongsheng in the southeast corner of Liyue Harbor.
If you need Apples, make your way to the northern dock in Liyue Harbor.
Go down the ramp a bit to see a second level underneath the dock. On the left in a corner is Bolai, who sells Apples.
Glide down from the ramp to the second level to buy some Apples.
Talk to the chef
You find the chef, Smiley Yanxiao, just outside from Verr Goldat, standing on the balcony.
The chef refuses to make Almond Tofu for you because he worries that the kitchen in Wangshu Inn is haunted.
Go to the kitchen
Head back into the inn, run by Verr Goldat, and go down a flight of stairs to the kitchen.
Approach the prep area to prompt the scene. You see the spirit of a girl run back behind the food shelf.
Tell Smiley Yanxiao about what happened
Head back outside and talk to Smiely Yanxiao. He’s now even more scared than he was before.
Seek help from Verr Goldet
Go back inside and talk to Verr Goldet. She offers a way for you to deal with the Wangshu Inn ghost.
Observe the painting
Go up a flight of stairs, turn around, and go over to the Witness Sigil in the corner underneath the staircase.
Find a place where you can see the whole Witness Sigil
Go outside and to the east side of the balcony. Glide down to the road.
Three rocks each show a section of the Witness Sigil. Stand in the correct place and then angle the camera to align the section of the Witness Sigil.
Chase the ghost
Run after the ghost, heading south down the road and across the bridge. The ghost will disappear, but keep going across the bridge.
At the end of the bridge, turn to the southeast and run over the small hill.
The ghost appears in a small clearing surrounded by trees. Approach her to start a cutscene.
Defeat the Ruin Hunter
The ghost, Dusty Ming, runs into the nearby Ruin Hunter, and the Ruin Hunter comes to life. Defeat it.
While airborne, the Ruin Hunter rarely moves out of melee range. So, you shouldn’t need any range characters if you don’t have any leveled.
Talk to Dusty Ming
Paimon gives Dusty Ming a stern talking to, and Dusty Ming promises to not haunt the inn anymore.
Tell Smiley Yanxiao about what happened
Head back to the Wangshu Inn balcony by Verr Goldet and talk to the chef. Once he finds out the inn is no longer haunted, he readily agrees to make you the Almond Tofu you requested.
Talk to Xiao
Climb the several levels of stairs all the way to the top and step outside onto the balcony. Talk to Xiao, who stands at the railing.
While he eats the food you brought, you tell him all about what happened with Rex Lapis.
Xiao then goes off to meet with the other adepti.
Finishing this cutscene completes the Wangshu subquest. Leave the domain.
