Where Winds Meet Qingzhou: Meow Meow Trials of the Six Arts

Qingzhou, the region added to Where Winds Meet in Version 2.3, Friends From Afar, has a scholarly Meow Meow. Instead of a timed chase or a Will-o’-the-Wisp run, this cat gives a five-question written exam on classical sayings. The exam is called Trials of the Six Arts – Rites. Each question is multiple choice, and a full set of correct answers gives you a 100/100 score and a reward bundle.

Quick answer: Open the Exam Basket on the bench near Primary Hall, pick “Take the Trials of the Six Arts,” then answer C, B, D, B, A and submit the paper.

Meow Meow Rites exam location in Qingzhou

The exam sits in the Qingzhou – Eastern Peak area, close to the Primary Hall landmark. That landmark is also a teleport point, so the quickest route is to fast travel there and walk the short distance to the cat. Look for a curved wooden bench under a tree with red leaves. A cat sits on the bench beside a red-and-gold exam box.

On the world map, the spot is right beside the Primary Hall teleport icon in the Eastern Peak section of Qingzhou. A cat paw icon also appears on the compass at the top of your HUD as you get close.

How to complete Trials of the Six Arts – Rites

Walk up to the bench and use the “Open Exam Basket” prompt. A note from Meow Meow opens, telling you the brush and ink are ready.

Choose “Take the Trials of the Six Arts” in the dialogue menu. The other option, “Farewell,” closes the conversation without starting the exam.

For Question 1, choose option C, “Because without exchanging ideas with others, your perspective becomes limited.” The question asks why studying alone, with no friends to debate with, is discouraged.

For Question 2, choose option B, “That everyone has something worth learning from.” This one is about the saying “When three walk together, one of them can surely be my teacher.”

For Question 3, choose option D, “That great things begin with small steps.” Meow Meow is asking what “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” means.

For Question 4, choose option B, “Being honest and truthful instead of bluffing.” The question asks what attitude sits behind “Know what you know, and know what you don’t know.”

For Question 5, choose option A, “That the unity of the people matters most.” This question quotes Mencius, who ranked favorable timing below favorable terrain and both below the unity and support of the people.

Select “Submit Paper” or press Space to turn in the exam. The score screen appears next, followed by a short scene with Meow Meow.

Rewards and how to confirm you passed

When all five answers are correct, the results screen reads “Exam Score 100 /100.” Meow Meow then says you passed the test, wiggles happily, and nudges a golden peach pit toward your character. The reward popup appears right after that and lists the following.

Reward	Amount
Golden Peach Pit	x5
Coin	x3600
Oscillating Jade	x100
Stored EXP	x3750

Check two things to confirm the exam counts as complete. The score screen must show 100/100, and the popup must list the Golden Peach Pits, Coin, Oscillating Jade, and Stored EXP. If both appear, the Rites trial is done and you can move on to the other Meow Meow puzzles in Qingzhou.
