Yuan Shoucheng

Half a life in vain, half a life in haste, One dawn of clarity, one dawn erased. Prophecies lag behind the schemes of man, No augury can stay an obsessed hand. Waves upon waves, the world's perils lie, Dust upon dust, uncountable debts beneath the sky. Gatherings and partings like morning dew, Grudges and loves like lightning, passing through. A thousand years of rise and fall, nothing new, A century's success and failure, history askew. Harvesting deeds, by the destiny's decree, Fates rise and fall, as sunsets flee. Harsh words spoken, ears they defy, Careless talk, hearts they pry. Crude strokes mar the eye's delight, Intent to sketch, wounds for sight. Yaoguais and Buddhas, all in me, Fiends and gods, alike we see. My tears flow like springs, don't ask why, Laughing to the sky, it's folly's cry.

In Chapter 1, from the [Bamboo Grove](/bamboo-grove)'s Snake Trail Shrine, just continue ahead and he will be on the right after a few meters. In Chapter 2, from the [Crouching Tiger Temple](/crouching-tiger-temple)'s Cellar Shrine, go downhill and turn right. Continue until the end and he will be there. Alternatively, from the [Yellow Wind Formation](/yellow-wind-formation), Windseal Gate Shrine, go downhill and turn left, and go all the way to the back. In Chapter 3, from the [Pagoda Realm](/pagoda-realm)'s Warding Temple, just go uphill and he will be there along with [Macaque Chief](/macaque-chief) trying to attack him. This is on the main path and is unmissable. In Chapter 4, from the [Temple of Yellow Flowers](/temple-of-yellow-flowers)'s Temple Entrance Shrine, go forward through the staircase. At the top you will pass through a small gate. After that turn slightly right and you will see another gate on the right wall. The area here will have a lot of [Worm Practitioners](/worm-practitioner). Continue straight and at the end on the left, there will be a blue shining [Snake Sheriff](/snake-sheriff) guarding another staircase. Continue past him and you will see Yuan Shoucheng playing a musical instrument. In Chapter 5, from the [Furnace Valley](/furnace-valley)'s Rakshasa Palace Shrine, proceed forward. Its a big wide area with two giant shield enemies. Facing the left giant enemy, turn left and in the corner, you can find Youan Shoucheng in a room there. Once you talk with him, interact with the fire in the middle of the room to obtain [Supreme Gourd](/supreme-gourd).
