TheWoWDBTook quite a while but found a place near his hand where my cursor turned to a glove with a yellow glow. Use (right click) when you have that cursor and you will get the flame. Then upstairs to the balcony which will show a gear icon. Use that to complete the second step.

A World of Warcraft quest in The Wandering Isle. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.

Placing the cursor above the NPC's head where the quest indicator is allows you to easily grab the flame.
This was formerly a choke point in leveling a new Pandaren but has since been fixed to allow more people to interact with it.
To do this quest, first wait for Master Shang Xi to give you the Master's Flame. This will happen automatically after a brief chat.
Next, go up to the top floor of the building, onto the balcony. There, you will see a scroll mounted to a piece of stone. Simply click the scroll and the quest will complete.

Description
Every wisdom has a time and place, and times are changing for those of us living here on Shen-zin Su. For this lesson, I would ask two things of you. For the first, I hold a flame in my hand. Gather your wits, and when you think you are ready, attempt to snatch the flame. Should you succeed, I want you to then climb to the top of this temple and burn the Edict of Temperance that you find there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lesson of Stifled Pride
Facing a living opponent is a very different thing from the stationary targets in the yard. Living opponents strike back. There is the very real fear of failure, and sometimes, even death. You must have the courage to overcome those fears.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Disciple's Challenge
<name>, I see great strength and great courage in you, and an unsurpassed purity of soul. The hour is young, but I think you may be ready to face a greater challenge. Go to the bottom of the stairs, and cross the bridge. There, you will find Jaomin Ro, one of our eldest students.
