Qi Family’s Precepts is a short Wandering Tale in Where Winds Meet that plays out at Finesteed Hamlet in Qinghe. On the surface, it is a simple errand about a missing family text and a mischievous pony, but it also works as a quiet introduction to Qi Feijun, the ranch master who talks to horses and later anchors one of the game’s darker side stories.
Where Qi Family’s Precepts takes place and how to start it
Qi Family’s Precepts unfolds at the Qi family farm in Finesteed Hamlet, in Sundara Land, Qinghe. This hamlet functions as a horse ranch, with several horses and ponies roaming in a fenced area and nearby fields.
To begin the Wandering Tale, travel to Finesteed Hamlet using the closest teleport or landmark, then walk into the ranch area where the horses gather. During the day, Qi Feijun is usually near a small herd, recognizable as the ranch master who often appears to be muttering to his animals.
Step 1: Approach Qi Feijun at the Qi family farm and interact with him. He explains that the handwritten Qi Family’s Precepts, a small document that records his family’s rules and teachings, has gone missing. The conversation points toward one of the ponies as the likely culprit.
How to complete Qi Family’s Precepts
The Wandering Tale has a fixed sequence of interactions, but it is easy to stall if you visit at the wrong in-game time or look for the wrong item. The steps below follow the quest logic in order.
Step 1: Move deeper into the ranch area and find the pony named Qi Xiaoguai. Interact with the pony. The dialogue makes it clear that Qi Xiaoguai is involved with the missing precepts and will only cooperate after being fed.
Step 2: Leave the ponies and walk toward the nearby crop plots at the farm. Look for a patch with a fresh radish growing in the soil. The in-world hint mentions carrots, but the quest progression actually depends on picking up a radish from this field.
Step 3: Return to Qi Xiaoguai and feed the pony the radish you just collected. Once you hand over the radish, the pony stops withholding information and changes behavior, setting up the next phase of the tale.
Step 4: Follow Qi Xiaoguai as it walks away from the main yard. The pony leads you toward a stable area and stops near or in front of a feeding trough. Look directly in the trough or just above it for a small journal-like item labelled Qi Family’s Precepts, then pick it up.
Step 5: With the document in your inventory, return to Qi Feijun at the farm and interact with him again. Hand the precepts back to him to complete the Wandering Tale and trigger the reward screen.
Time-of-day issues and making Qi Xiaoguai appear
Both Qi Feijun and Qi Xiaoguai follow the game’s day–night cycle. They are active at the farm during daylight but go elsewhere to rest at night. If you arrive and see two larger horses but no small pony between them, or if Qi Feijun is not at his usual spot, the quest can appear blocked even though it is available.
Step 1: If Qi Xiaoguai is missing, open the in-game time controls and advance time forward into daytime hours. After time passes, check the same location between the two larger horses; the small pony should now be present.
Step 2: If Qi Feijun is not visible near the herd during the day, look around nearby buildings in Finesteed Hamlet. He can sometimes be found inside a house rather than standing outdoors with the horses.
Once pony and owner are both present, you can talk to Qi Feijun to confirm the precepts are missing, then immediately interact with Qi Xiaoguai to start the feeding sequence.
Qi Family’s Precepts quest rewards
Finishing Qi Family’s Precepts grants a small but useful bundle of early-game rewards tied to Qinghe exploration:
| Reward | Amount | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Echo Jade | ×30 | Premium currency for pulls and other high-value uses. |
| Qinghe Exploration | ×10 | Contributes to regional exploration progress in Qinghe. |
| Character EXP / Stored EXP | ×2500 | Improves character level through direct or stored experience. |
| Coin | ×2500 | General currency for purchases and upgrades. |
For a very short Wandering Tale, this is a good return, especially if you are actively working toward Qinghe exploration thresholds.
How Qi Family’s Precepts connects to Qi Feijun’s darker story
Qi Family’s Precepts frames Qi Feijun as an eccentric but harmless horse rancher whose biggest problem is a playful pony hiding an heirloom document. The tone is light, with simple mechanics: find the right vegetable, feed the pony, follow it to a trough, and retrieve a journal.
Later, Qi Feijun reappears in the Wandering Tale Why He Hasn’t Returned, linked to Liu Wuniang and her missing husband Qi Awu (Wulang). That story reveals that Qi Feijun and Qi Awu were captured at Mercyheart Monastery and subjected to experiments involving a purple drug. The same drug that gave Qi Feijun the ability to communicate with horses also underpins the success of Finesteed Hamlet.
At Mercyheart, Qi Feijun escaped alone, leaving Qi Awu behind. When the player eventually confronts Qi Awu’s puppet jiangshi form and recovers a pouch from his body, the game presents a quiet choice between handing that pouch to Liu Wuniang or to Qi Feijun. The outcomes shift the emotional weight between closure and survival, and between Liu Wuniang’s grief and Qi Feijun’s guilt.
Seen together, the two Wandering Tales turn Finesteed Hamlet into more than a pastoral backdrop. The playful moment of bargaining with Qi Xiaoguai over a radish is the first hint that Qi Feijun’s rapport with horses is not just a quirk but the visible trace of an experiment that cost another man his life.
Qi Family’s Precepts is therefore worth doing early, not only for Echo Jade and exploration points but also for the context it adds. The next time Qi Feijun stands in the pasture muttering to his herd, or Qi Xiaoguai trots off toward a trough, the ranch’s quiet routine carries the memory of Mercyheart and the choices that followed.
