There is NO WAY in hell I am giving up 5 mists of harmony and 5 starlight ink for something I can make every day, not going to happen. That's insane!

This is one of the new Inscription weeklies added in Mists of Pandaria. Completing them requires level 600 Inscription. The reward is a Scroll of Wisdom, which is used for Darkmoon Cards, Epic Staves, and Epic Off-hands. There are only two viable methods for obtaining a Scroll of Wisdom: the daily cooldown (Scroll of Wisdom) and these weeklies.
For this specific quest, you have to take the given quest item and use it with your Inscription (Commissioned Painting) to create the item needed to complete the quest.
The six weeklies:
5 Spirits of Harmony and 5 Starlight Ink seems a little much for 1 Scroll of Wisdom.

Description
We live in a world of magic.The few among us who are skilled can imbue this magic into the things we craft and give them power. Such things are valued. Fewer still, however, are those among us who can create things that are cherished through the ages not because they are imbued with power, but because of their great beauty. The Temple of the Jade Serpent has commissioned us for such a work, and I believe you are the worthiest among us. Will you accept the commission?
