The second quest in Hefei is also a little bit of running around and starts with a new NPC named One Hit Three Kills. Just for fun, stand there and watch what he says. I don't know how that slipped through the PG13 rating guide. Anyway, after you talk to the Hermit in that quest series go back to your clan map and kill a few Rudolphs. Run back to Hefei and collect an elixir. I think it's a dodge elixir.

The third quest is related to the master/disciple system and you have to go kill one of the bears now wandering around Strolling Valley in Hefei. You're supposed to deliver that quest item to an NPC in Shi Zhang but you can't. The old master is dead. Return to Hefei and speak to the original NPC and gain a defense pill.

We've also got the rest of the Master & Disciple system and for anyone over SM1 level you have an extra quest in Hefei to become a Master. Once you have done so, low level players can approach you and ask to become a disciple, much like they would invite you to a grinding party. That's important, as a Master you don't invite disciples, they ask you.

It's worth it for low level players to do that though, they get a buff after becoming a disciple and it gives bonuses to damage, hit points, vital energy and gold drops, not that gold drops are all that much in this version of the game. Masters get contribution points that they can use to purchase items from the new NPC's in Hefei and on the clan maps. It will be up to the masters to share out those items and I suspect some will be better about it than others.

The Masters get their own series of quests to do as their disciples level up, and they too can purchase items from the NPC's if they are the right levels. Master's have access to some nice looking time-limited items like Deco's, HP return, and damage beads. If you stay with this idea you could be become one seriously dangerous Master.

That's what I've found so far. Please feel free to contribute to this post.
