The Qi Bean is a seed found throughout the world during the quest Qi's Crop.

While the quest is active, Qi Beans can be found by breaking rocks, chopping down trees and stumps, cutting grass, from trash cans, killing monsters, breaking geodes, digging Artifact Spots, shaking coconut trees in Ginger Island, opening chests and breaking crates in the volcano dungeon, and fishing.

The player cannot save excess Qi Beans or Fruits for any further quest since they despawn from the game once the quest is over (ie. the day after the player ships them or the quest timer ends), including farm crops, inventories (player's and every chests and tools) and Marlon's item recovery service list.

Tips

Given that treasures can yield one or more stacks of 4 Beans during the quest, fishing is a reliable source of Qi Beans when combined with the Pirate fishing skill and a Treasure Hunter tackle.
During the quest, it may be helpful to create more Qi Beans in Seed Makers instead of selling the first Fruits.
Breaking Geodes may occasionally yield 1 or 5 Qi Beans.
Deluxe Speed-Gro will allow growth in 3 days instead of 4.

History

1.5: Introduced.
1.5.2: Can now be grown on the farm during winter.
1.5.3: Qi Beans are now properly removed from any machines/craftables and from Marlon's item recovery service after the Qi Challenge expires.
