# Inside the dungeon take a right at the split and then keep left until you reach a locked door use the key and loot the first of Jhong Mi's {{Itemlink|Writings (Deserted Ruin)|Writings}} from the chest. {{Itemlink|Yanshi Town Stamp}} is also in the chest.

=== Parts 2 and 4 of the Writings of Jhong Mi (Starter Quest - Optional) ===
''These two quest turn-ins are for very little XP, and are not required to complete the high xp/exploration society quest, The Deserted Ruin''
# Head to Old [[Yanshi]] and go to the [[Yanshi Tunnels]] just a few clicks away at 12.1S, 45.6E.
# Take all lefts until you reach an open room with furniture and food on the floor, in the corner near the beds is a chest which contains the second of Jhong Mi's {{Itemlink|Writings (Yanshi Tunnels)|Writings}}.
# Go back to the start and use the surface portal, when outside head east to the [[ReedShark Lair]] at 12.2S, 48.3E.
# Make your way through the hall ignoring the first few side rooms, you will be in an open room with a bridge above you.
# From here head west past the bridge and up the ramp to the third of Jhong Mi's {{Itemlink|Writings (ReedShark Lair)|Writings}} stored in a chest.
# Return both of the writings to [[Dai Ya the Scholar]] in Yanshi (12.0S, 42.6E) for your rewards.
