I picked up this quest from [npc=63900] wandering around Dawn's Blossom
/way #371 49 46You can probably use a character that hasn't done any of the Cloud Serpent questline, but I used party sync so that I was able to pick up the quest on my main.

It's possible you don't even get this quest but move on, skipping it, straight to the next in the series from Instructor Tong.
There is something else needed to get this quest, just not sure what. Went here on a new alliance remix toon and can't get the quest. When I pick up Wild things quest, All the things addon says that completion of wild things will prevent completion of this quest. Not sure what is needed here. I did complete the entire order of the cloud serpent/exalted rep on a main remix toon without completion of this quest. Maybe only party sync is possible now to complete this.
Edit: so it seems my theory was correct. If you've already completed the questline on a remix toon, all toons are locked from this quest, unless you use party sync with someone who hasn't completed the questline.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wild Things
Welcome to the Order of the Cloud Serpent, <race>. I can see from the spark in your eye that you wish to join the Order. Let me get a good look at you. <Elder Anli gently holds your head and gazes at your face.> Hmm. I see honesty and earnestness in your heart.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Beating the Odds
At first, the Slitherscale were too frightened to approach the wild serpents. Then, I caught them snatching the eggs under the cover of night. Now, they are slaughtering adults and hatchlings alike! If we do not do something, these gentle creatures will be completely wiped out.
