Looks like no-one's mentioned it, but after completing this quest, get some dreadbrew from behind Sapmaster Vu and pour it onto Han Stormstout for a bonus cutscene.
I had the deuce of a time finding Sapmaster Vu to turn in this quest. He isn't where the minimap (or TomTom) shows him; instead, he's in Rikkitun Village. Here's a waypont:

Lya of Ten Songs is in about the same place. She has the next quest in this chain.

Description
Lya and I agree on one thing: "Blood of Ancients" is almost certainly the sap from the great trees of the area. I should know - I brew with the stuff all the time. The most ancient tree of all is the one that Grand Empress Shek'zeer calls her home, now known as the Heart of Fear. Find some amber from that tree, and our brew should be complete.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fires and Fears of Old
We've found the blades, bound them together with wood and shade, and blessed them with an ancient incantation. If I'm not mistaken, it's time to use this thing. The sprites spoke of an ancient piece of sap within the Amber Hibernal, a mantid cave near their empress' palace.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mazu's Breath
Here to help, are ya? Well, first thing's first. <Arie rummages through her pockets for a moment before producing a small vial of glowing blue fluid.> Here it is! "Mazu's Breath." Cap'n's own formula. What? You thought I'd send you out to sea without a means of breathin'?
