For posterity, here's what happens after you turn the quest in:

Jojo Ironbrow says: This is magnificent! I've never seen craftsmanship so fine.
Jojo Ironbrow says: There is only one thing to do. I must smash it! Once and for all, all shall know the power of my mighty brow.
[Jojo attempts to smash the pillar, but fails, leaving him dizzy.]
Jojo Ironbrow says: Oh... my head... it hurts so badly! I've... the pillar must contain enormous power... perhaps stronger even than my brow.
Jojo Ironbrow says: I'm... I'm just going to lie down a while... until this headache goes away.

And later on, you see he's wielding the jade pillar as a weapon.

This giant jade tiger pillar doesn't seem to fit in amidst the hozen buildings. What it does seem is very hard. Very solid. You know just the person to bring this to.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Monkey Advisory WarningThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    The monkeys have been stealing from the village during their attacks. We should be fine without some of the extra food stores, but the idea of monkeys with fireworks... I'm a little bit concerned. Not to mention, who knows when some fireworks will come in handy?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Balanced PerspectiveThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Aysa has been meditating on the lake since we've arrived, all her thoughts focused on Dafeng. I don't know what she hopes to discover out there, but she's no fool, and Master Shang Xi has entrusted this task with her. You will need to cross the ropes leading from the end of the dock to reach her.
