What Are Melodies of Peace?

The Melodies of Peace is one of the most important progression systems in Where Winds Meet. Think of it as a special talent tree where each node requires specific Oddities to unlock. These aren’t just minor upgrades – we’re talking about significant stat increases that can make the difference between struggling against world bosses and dominating them with ease.

What makes this system particularly valuable is that every unlock is permanent. Once you activate a node in the Harmony tree, those stat bonuses stay with your character forever. This makes Melodies of Peace especially crucial for new players who need those early-game power boosts to survive the challenging main story missions.

The system is divided between two major regions:

Qinghe Region: Trade with Qi Sheng for the first Harmony tree
Kaifeng Region: Trade with Bai Ji for the second Harmony tree (available later in the game)

Finding the Melodies of Peace Vendors in Where Winds Meet (June 2026)

Before you can start trading your collected Oddities, you need to know where to find the vendors who handle these exchanges.

Qi Sheng Location (Qinghe Region)

Qi Sheng is your primary Melodies of Peace vendor for the Qinghe Region. You can find him:

Location: Southeast of General’s Shrine and west of Wayfarer in Verdant Wilds
Map Marker: Look for a butterfly icon surrounded by a white circle
Services: Exchanges Qinghe Life Materials for Harmony tree unlocks

Bai Ji Location (Kaifeng Region)

Once you progress to the Kaifeng region, you’ll find Bai Ji:

Location: Northwestern corner of Kaifeng City (inside the temple)
Services: Handles Kaifeng Oddities for the second Harmony tree

Both vendors follow the same trading process: talk to them, select “Submit Oddities,” choose your desired node, and either activate it or add all required Oddities at once.

Complete Guide to Qinghe Region Oddities

The Qinghe Region features five unique types of Oddities, each with its own collection method. Let me break down exactly how to find and collect each one.

1. Dagger General (Green Grasshopper)

Appearance: Green grasshopper-like insects that hide under objects Collection Method:

Listen for chirping sounds coming from piles of rocks, boxes, or barrels
Use Wind Sense (hold V on keyboard) to spot golden-outlined breakable objects
Break the pile with your weapon
Quickly press the interact button to catch the escaping Dagger Generals
Note: Multiple Dagger Generals can be under one pile

Pro Tips:

Break piles from a distance to give yourself time to react
Listen carefully – the sound cues are your best friend
Check every pile you see, even if it doesn’t look special

2. Enchanting Lotus (Purple Flower)

Appearance: Beautiful purple flowers surrounded by dangerous miasma Collection Method:

Use Wind Sense to identify purple smoke trails leading from the lotus
Follow each trail to find clouds of purple butterflies
Shoot all butterfly clouds with your bow and arrow
Once all butterflies are eliminated, safely collect the lotus

Pro Tips:

Don’t approach the lotus until all butterflies are gone
Use a bow with good accuracy for efficient butterfly hunting
The miasma can poison you, so keep some healing items ready

3. Ironwing Mantis (Purple-Grey Mantis)

Appearance: Winged insects surrounded by purple sparkles Collection Method:

Approach the mantis and observe it (press interact button)
The mantis will jump away when observed
Chase it down quickly
When it lands, get close and interact to capture it

Pro Tips:

Don’t sprint directly at it – approach cautiously first
Be ready to chase immediately after observing
They usually don’t jump too far, so stay alert

4. Redmist Beetle (Red Beetle)

Appearance: Glowing clusters of red mushrooms with beetles floating above Collection Method:

Look for glowing red mushroom circles on the ground

Always found in trees or on cliff sides (never on ground)
Keep your distance initially

Wait for the bees to disperse
Climb up and collect the empty hive

Fire Arrows are essential – regular arrows won’t work
Don’t try to collect before shooting with fire
The bees can poison you, so be prepared with antidotes
