Senlin-Ma's Quests

Unfortunately, I cannot allow just anyone to enter Jingshen. Only the gentlest and most agile of heroes can travel through it without causing too much distress. If you can steal the bowl from a kappa ninja's head without spilling any of the water, I will know you are such a hero. Kappa Ninja can be found at the Yokai Ferry.

Items Required:

• Unspilled Kappa Water x1
  • Dropped by:
    • Kappa Ninja (1) (Level 11)
    • Kappa Ninja (1) (Level 15)
    • Kappa Ninja (2) (Level 10)

Jingshen Forest, just east of here, is home to a great many nature spirits. Normally they are gentle beings, a source of growth and vitality. But recently something has corrupted their energy and made them… wrong. If you kill these corrupted spirits, they should revive without the corruption.

Items Required:

• Corrupted Xingzhi Slain x4
  • Dropped by Xingzhi (Level 25)
• Corrupted Lingzhi Slain x4
  • Dropped by Lingzhi

Simply killing the corrupted spirits doesn't seem to be solving the problem. If you bring me some of their elemental cores, I may be able to determine the source of the problem. Cores from either Lingzhi or Xingzhi will do.

Items Required:

• Corrupted Core of Nature x8
  • Dropped by:
    • Lingzhi
    • Xingzhi (Level 25)

The source of the corruption still isn't clear. I will need to compare the corrupted cores with some samples from a pure, untainted forest. Go to Pinewood Forest in Dwarfhold, and gather the essences of the creatures living there. Your attunement with Jingshen Forest will allow you to see and collect them.

Items Required:

• Pure Essence of Nature x8
  • Dropped by:
    • Leatherwing
    • Pine Grizzly
    • Pine Troll (Level 12)
    • Red Shell Turtle (Monster) (Level 8) (Version 1)

I've made a purifying salve from the nature essences you collected from Pinewood Forest. If we disperse it throughout Jingshen Forest, that should help remove whatever this corruption is. Go into the woods and place samples of the salve on the ground. Be sure to spread them out.

Items Required:

• Purifying Salve Dispersed x6
  • Click the blue arrows around the map

That doesn't seem to have done much good, either. There's a more direct method we can try, but gathering the ingredients will take some time. First, I'll need you to go back to Pinewood Forest. The Pine Trolls who live there use a special blend of healing herbs. If you can collect 10 pouches of it, that should be enough.

Items Required:

• Pine Troll Blend x10
  • Dropped by Pine Troll (Level 12)

The berries that grow on Treeants promote growth and hardiness. For the next ingredient, we'll need about 10 handfuls of them. You can find Treeants in the Poison Forest or at the Greenguard Farm, but be careful – they may not be happy about being harvested.

Items Required:

• Treeant Berries x10
  • Dropped by:
    • Treeant (Level 23)
    • Treeant (Level 3)

Next, you'll need to travel to Faerie Forest in Chiral Valley and collect some Essential Oil of Faerie. You'll get it from the Chainsaw Sneevils, who have collected it from… well, best not to think about it. 10 vials of it should do.

Items Required:

• Essential Oil of Faerie x10
  • Dropped by Chainsaw Sneevil (Level 5)

I've crafted a tonic from the herbs, berries and oils you brought back. If the forest spirits drink it, it should cure them of their corruption. But no one really enjoys medicine, do they? You may need to rough them up a bit before they're willing to take it.

Items Required:

• Tonic Administered x10
  • Dropped by:
    • Lingzhi
    • Xingzhi (Level 25)

The tonic worked – I watched the corruption vanish from the forest spirits! but it returned almost immediately. Something in the forest must be keeping the spirits in this impure state. Go back into the forest and fight the corrupted spirits until you've found some clues as to what could be causing this to happen.

Items Required:

• Clue Collected x12
  • Dropped by:
    • Lingzhi
    • Xingzhi (Level 25)

Based on the clues you found, this is the work of a Yaomo – a type of malevolent spirit. It must be hiding somewhere within the forest. If you take one of the corrupted spirits' cores with you, you should be able to sense the entrance to his lair. Come back when you have found it.

Items Required:

• Yaomo's Lair Discovered x1
  • Click the blue arrow on Screen 13

So, you were able to find where the Yaomo's lair is, but you couldn't enter? It must be protected by some kind of ward. Fight the corrupted forest spirits and collect samples of the Yaomo's malevolent taint. If you have enough of it on you, you may be able to trick the ward into letting you pass.

Items Required:

• Malevolent Taint x12

    • Lingzhi
    • Xingzhi (Level 25)

All that's left to do now is confront the Yaomo who's corrupting our forest and defeat him. Return to me when it has been done.

Items Required:

• Yaomo Defeated x1
  • Dropped by Yaomo

You've defeated the Yaomo, but the forest spirits won't heal on their own. Destroy 12 Lingzhi so their physical forms can return to the earth. When they regrow, they will be pure.

Items Required:

• Corrupted Lingzhi Destroyed x12
  • Dropped by Lingzhi

Requirements: Must have completed the 'Defeat Yaomo' quest.

The corrupted Xingzhi will also need to be helped, but they don't have a physical form. Defeat them, and then collect their tainted Qi. This will help them to return more quickly in a purified form.

Items Required:

• Tainted Xingzhi Qi x12
  • Dropped by Xingzhi (Level 25)

Much like the Xingzhi, the Shushen are lacking a physical form. In order to help them, we will need to dispel them after they are defeated. That this process may not always work, so you may have to battle them a few times before successfully dispelling their spirits.

Items Required:

• Shushen Dispelled x12
  • Dropped by Shushen

Rewards:

• 600 Gold
• 1,600 Exp

Thanks to Apus.

The Hoku won't heal without our help. If you kill them and bring their corrupted hearts to me, I can attempt to purify them. Once that has been done, they should reform on their own without the taint.

Items Required:

• Tainted Hoku Hearts x10
  • Dropped by Hoku

Rewards:

• 600 Gold
• 1,600 Exp

Thanks to Apus.

In order to prevent this kind of corruption from happening again, it would be useful to study each type of nature spirit that was affected. Bring me samples from a Lingzhi, a Xingzhi, a Hoku, and a Shushen.

Items Required:

• Tainted Lingzhi Sample x1
  • Dropped by Lingzhi
• Tainted Xingzhi Sample x1
  • Dropped by Xingzhi (Level 25)
• Tainted Hoku Sample x1

The Mogui you see in the deeper parts of the woods may look adorable, but they're not meant to be there, and they're doing a lot of damage to the forest and its inhabitants. Defeat them, and collect the tiny stones they leave behind. If you bring them to me I can destroy the stones, and banish the Mogui they came from.

Items Required:

• Mogui Stone x12
  • Dropped by Mogui

Rewards:

• 600 Gold
• 1,600 Exp

Thanks to Apus.

The Jingshen Mogui look very similar to Shushen, and I suspect they may be what happens when Shushen become too tainted. If you can bottle samples of their ghostly mist, I'll be able to study it and determine whether my theory is correct.

Items Required:

• Bottled Shushen Mist x8
  • Dropped by Shushen
• Bottled Mogui Mist x8
  • Dropped by Mogui

Rewards:

Are you truly the strongest hero in Lore? If you're up for the challenge, go into the deepest part of the woods. There you'll find an even crueler Yaomo. Go and defeat him, if you think you can.

Items Required:

• Ultra Yaomo Defeated x1
  • Dropped by Ultra Yaomo

Rewards:
