The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Notes:
- No, you don't actually buy him a drink; there are no nearby vendors. It just sort of happens.
- Yes, he does mispronounce "August" in his opening line about the August Celestials. (Probably been too long since MoP for the overworked voice artists and their managers to remember the fine details.)
Thank you so much for this... especially #1. I ran all around that doggone island for 2 hours trying to get to that path!!

Description
Oh, hello, you must be the new Grandmaster. <Master Bu squints at you and sniffs.> You young ones have no patience these days, always running off to fight your great battles. No time for stories, even good ones, eh? Why don't you put your fists down for a moment and allow an old man to tell you a tale. Maybe buy an old man a drink while you are at it?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Master Who?
Greetings. I've just received word that Master Bu has returned from a long spirit journey, and is currently resting his feet at Morning Breeze Village outside of the Temple of Five Dawns. It's been quite a long time since anyone has seen or heard from him, but he's asking to speak to you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Broken Peak
Of course, this is no mere story. Ban-Lu served as the personal mount of each of the previous Grandmasters, accompanying them through their travels as a faithful and trusted companion. But... he has not revealed himself since you have become Grandmaster. This is troubling.

Class Mount: Monk has 10 steps, from Master Who? to The Trial of Ban-Lu.
