Shang Xi says that you are doing him proud, and offers welcomes to Wugou and Shu. Dafeng, he says, is the Spirit of Air, and the only remaining one of the four spirits. Dafeng can be found, it seems, somewhere across the Dawning Span to the west, on the Ridge of Laughing Winds- at least, when he is not in the skies themselves. Shang tells you that he has sent both Ji and Aysa there already, so that the two may help you locate the spirit. While the old Master is not physically prepared to participate, he is willing to summon winds that will carry you to the top of the temple, from which you can use the bridges to reach Morning Breeze Village to the West, where Ji awaits.
When you accept the quest, you are treated to a brief ride on a small tornado, which lifts you to a balcony of the temple. Ji waits there, and once you have landed, he encourages you to follow him to Morning Breeze Village.
The path is simple and straightforwards, though there are a few interesting diversions along the way. You may see a huge dragon fly past you on the second bridge, for instance. At the middle of the third bridge you can spot a Lorewalker, who tells you that a lesson is beginning down some stairs- you may want to head down there, because the lesson is an interesting bit of information about the history of the Pandaren and the nature of the isle. Some of the details about Shen-zin Su, the turtle that the Pandaren live on the back of are interesting, as is the tale of Liu Lang, the wanderer who found the turtle. Also of note is the mention made of the Wood of Staves, a forest apparently composed of the planted staves of the elder Pandaren who went there at the ends of their lives.
Once you finish crossing the third bridge, you’ll want to turn and head to the North. Keep an eye out for the local monkeys, the Fe-Feng Elders. While they aren’t terribly hazardous, they have a bizarre tendency to cover travelers in red paint for no particular reason. Fortunately, it isn’t far from the Ridge of Laughing Winds to the Morning Breeze Village, where you can find Ji on a dock. He is standing and staring at Aysa- because she is meditating out in the middle of the lake, sitting on a large pole connected to the dock only by a series of ropes and other poles.
When you talk to Ji, he points out that while the amount of time Aysa spends practicing is nearly ridiculous, it has had excellent results. To quote, ‘Her form is beautiful.’ When you suggest he talk to her, Ji comes off rather nervous- he’s unsure how to declaim his admiration, and thinks he may come off as creepy or tactless.
