Wellspring Town in Qingzhou’s Eastern Peak hides a small flute performance at the pond on the east side of town. A child named Du Yi offers to play “Mulberry Picker” with you, and the duet works. But if you want a flawless run, Du Yi is the wrong partner. His flute timing is irregular and drags your accuracy down, so a 100 percent result depends on bringing in a different local.
Quick answer: Talk to Constable Lin Zhao in Wellspring Town’s archive, summon her to the pond by typing “graceful melody” in her companion chat, then pick “Local Ensemble” with Du Yi.
Mulberry Picker Graceful Melody location and key facts
The activity shows up on the world map as Graceful Melody: Exploration – Performance, pinned inside Wellspring Town. Everything you need sits within the town itself, so there is no travel beyond a short walk between two spots.
- Region: Qingzhou, Eastern Peak – Wellspring Town
- Spot: a small pond on the east side of town, where Du Yi and Lu Qi stand
- Song: “Mulberry Picker,” played on the flute
- Best partner: Constable Lin Zhao, found in the archive building in central Wellspring Town
- Performance options: Solo Performance, Duet performance, and Local Ensemble once Lin Zhao is present
Why playing with Du Yi blocks a perfect score
When you join Du Yi directly, his own flute inputs throw the timing off. The notes stop lining up cleanly with what you hear, and Perfect hits slip into lower grades even if your inputs are solid. Lin Zhao plays steadily, which is why switching to a Local Ensemble with her is the reliable route to a full combo.

Graceful Melody controls and timing rules
Graceful Melody is a straightforward lane-style rhythm game. Notes travel toward a circle at the bottom of the screen, and your input has to land when the note meets that circle. Mulberry Picker uses four keys plus held notes.
- Inputs are A, S, D and F, each tied to its own note lane
- Notes with a long tail must be pressed and held until the tail ends
- Each hit is graded Perfect, Great, Good or Miss
- Early or late presses drop accuracy and break toward lower grades
- Rewards only pay out once your accuracy clears a minimum threshold
What a perfect Mulberry Picker result looks like
A clean run ends with a “MELODIC ESSENCE” splash, followed by a results screen marked “COMPLETED” with the Graceful Melody header and a Lingering Echoes label. These are the numbers to check against.
| Result field | Perfect run value |
|---|---|
| Total Score | 1833 |
| Highest Combo | 95 |
| Perfect | 95 |
| Great / Good / Miss | 0 / 0 / 0 |
| Performance Completion Rate | 100.0% |
If your screen reads 95 Perfect with a 100.0% completion rate, the performance is maxed out. Any Great, Good or Miss means you came up short of the full combo, and you can repeat the Local Ensemble with Lin Zhao to try again. Afterward, the “Graceful Melody: Exploration – Performance” icon remains on the Wellspring Town map as the record of where the activity lives.
