Much Ado About Mechanisms is a short Wandering Tale set in the Mohist City area of the Hidden Mountain region in Where Winds Meet. It centers on two feuding Mohist disciples and their competing contraptions, and it wraps up with a single well-placed shot rather than a fight.
Quick answer: Speak to both Wei Jing and Qiu Yi in Suixiang, then equip a bow with fire arrows and shoot down the flying “Invincible Perpetual Chicken” to complete the tale.
Where to start Much Ado About Mechanisms
The quest is located in Suixiang, part of the Hidden Mountain region tied to Mohist City. Open your map and travel to the marked spot, where you will find the two rival disciples standing near their machines.
The two NPCs involved are Wei Jing and Qiu Yi. Each one wants you to sabotage the other’s mechanism, and their advice is what points you toward the solution.
How to complete Much Ado About Mechanisms
Tip: The fire arrow is the key ingredient here. A normal arrow will not bring the mechanical bird down, so make sure the fire property is active before you shoot.

How to confirm it worked
Once the fire arrow destroys the flying machine, the quest completes on its own and the reward screen appears. You do not need to return to either disciple afterward.
You can double-check the status by opening your Journal and looking under Wandering Tales, where Much Ado About Mechanisms will be marked as completed. If nothing happens after firing, confirm that you spoke with both Wei Jing and Qiu Yi and that your arrow carried the fire effect when it hit the target.
