You start by heading to Harvestfall Village and finding San Qian. You can find this area west of Qinghe. Once you find him, he won’t speak to you unless you bribe him. Once you pay for his information fee, he will explain how the Well of Heaven elder recently paid a visit to town.

The elder is now holed up near an elm tree at the top of the village. With this information, you will head up thinking that you’re doing this to join the Well of Heaven sect, but this is all part of the deception. You are about to assist one of the most notorious sects in the game from committing robbery.

Meet the Elder

Head to the location of the elder and ask to join the Well of Heaven sect. He will then give you a task that you must complete before you can join. Suspiciously, your mission is to steal jewelry from his old friend. This sect is all about being heroic and righteous. In spite of the red flag, you still accept the task.

Steal Jewelry Using Wind Sense

Follow the quest marker, which will lead you to the elder’s friend. Once you are close enough, you need to activate Wind Sense. Find the “Large Pile of Jewelry” and choose the “request” option. Here it turns out, you are robbing the real Well of Heaven elder. But that’s not important right now. You need to deliver the jewelry back to the other elder.

Hand Over the Jewelry

Once you give the jewelry you stole, the fake elder will explain everything to you. He confesses that he is not the real elder. In fact, he is a member of the Nine Mortal Ways. This means you just assisted a robbery operation. 

With that said, you now have two options. You can call them out for their deception and head back to the Well of Heaven sect. Alternatively, you accept that they tricked you and join the Nine Mortal Ways sect.
