After Lifeng catches up with you, approach other farmers to listen to their experience. There are 3 farmers to listen to in the area.

How to Listen to Farmers Share

How to Listen to Farmers
1
Just in front, approach Mr. Ouyang the Freedom Lover and his burdenbeast. He mentions that flying is his secret in raising a burdenbeast so he installed magnetic levitators.
2
Talk to Ms. Ann the Little-Stitious to the right. She focuses on both the scientific approach and the metaphysics in raising burdenbeasts.
3
Approach the burdenbeast to the left. This is actually Shasha, Lifeng's burdenbeast. A kid randomly asks us for help after a burdenbeast went missing.

Find the Missing Old Burdenbeast

Find the Missing Old Burdenbeast

Get out of the burdenbeast stables and make a left. Continue moving north and find the missing burdenbeast within the area. There are many burdenbeasts in the area, but the old burdenbeast can be seen near the benches.

Search the Farm from Old Burdenbeast's Memories

Search the Farm from Old Burdenbeast

After the old burdenbeast shares that they felt happiest when pulling plows, you search the farm for its memories. Go to the farm with the burdenbeast so it can remember its past.

How to Search the Farm

How to Search the Farm
1
The first farm to search is the one nearest you. Head to the area with the burdenbeast, but they don't feel like it's the correct farm.
2
The next farm is just down the stairs from your current position. The old burdenbeast already feels tired and thirsty, so it wants purified water from the main Xiranflow sluice.

Collect Water for the Old Burdenbeast

Collect Water for the Old Burdenbeast

Head to the Marker Stone Flats in Wuling City. Head to the nearby water source to collect water, when all of a sudden the old burdenbeast is also in the area.

Talk to the Old Burdenbeast

Talk to the Old Burdenbeast

Approach the old burdenbeast at the opposite side of the area. The burdenbeast does not even remember how they got here. Little Wu appears and scolds the burdenbeast to return home, which leads to the two to get in an argument.

Talk to Little Wu

Talk to Little Wu

Approach and talk to Little Wu about their argument. He asks us what to do, and you decide to catch up to the burdenbeast.

Take the nearest set of stairs down to get to the Citizen Square. You see the old burdenbeast dancing with the citizens and having a good time. The burdenbeast asks you to take a picture of him.

Take a Group Photo

Take a Group Photo

Enable photo mode by opening the tools menu and selecting the camera. Make sure that Little Wu is in the frame before taking the picture.

Head to Outskirt Barrens to find the old burdenbeast. As you arrive, you see a group of burdenbeasts.

Defeat the Waterlamps

With Waterlamps near the burdenbeasts, you tell Little Wu to herd them away the area. Go on and defeat the Waterlamps nearby.

Find the Old Burdenbeast

Little Wu is confused to tell which one in the group is his old burdenbeast. Go and help him find the old burdenbeast. You can find him beside another burdenbeast.

Go to the Farm Where the Old Burdenbeast Once Worked At

Go to the Farm Where the Old Burdenbeast Once Worked At

Head southwest of Wuling City to find the experimental farm. The old burdenbeast relives his memories, and Little Wu decides to let the old burdenbeast stay in his old farm. All of a sudden, Lifeng wakes you up and you're back at the Burdenbeast Care Workshop.

It turns out that you were just dreaming the entire situation with Little Wu. The farmers' meet is over and everyone left to pay respects to an old Tianshi who passed away. They say that the Tianshi was attached to his experimental farm.
