Am I the only one who was happy to see a new design for a cave? This looked so awesome when I stepped in for the first time.
Note that your base health regen at this level is so high out of combat that you can simply waltz through the fire, no dodging needed. Panda power!

Description
You've done very well this far, my student. You have the materials you need to rekindle Huo, the spirit of fire. In the cave to the southwest he awaits, but he is guarded by Master Li Fei, the pandaren elder you met in the Cave of Meditation. Go to Master Li Fei with the offerings. Prove yourself, then meet with Huo.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Fanning the Flames
Strange thing about wind, it can be hard to wrap your hands around it. Best practice for me has been finding some sort of living wind. If it can punch you, you can punch it back, and it won't slip through your grasp.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Challenger's Fires
You're strong of mind and strong of will, but you lack the skills to face me in combat. You must fight with your body, but in truth, it is your character that is being tested. Let us even the playing field.
