Instructor Tong will only talk to you if you have been sent by Elder Anli in the quest Wild Things.

Here is some information that will hopefully help others that are in my situation, and have received the skill Cloud Serpent Riding on alts and have gone through this task "the old fashion way" and are embarking upon getting the skill for an alt. Thankfully now, having gathered enough Quivering Firestorm Eggs on the Timeless Isle, I went from having no reputation to Exalted quite easily. I already had acquired all of the mounts they had to offer, I purchased their beautiful tabard, but I still could not seem acquire the skill Cloud Serpent Riding. After speaking to ALL of the instructors, trainers and EVERY NPC in the Arboretum region... and not finding out who to speak to next, I came here. One comment suggested that this skill was now automatically learned, well I can say that I can say that is not so for me - I wish!

It was very frustrating that NOT ONE NPC in the Arboretum pointed me in the right direction! I honestly couldn't remember who I had spoken to before, so I contacted Blizzard. They suggested I fly out to the Windward Isle and speak with Instructor Tong (65.2,31.6).

Lo and behold! If you had done what I did, and completed a quest from Edler Anli ages ago called Wild Things and completed it, this is why you cannot progress any further. You MUST do the quest Beating the Odds. Pick up the other two quests he has to offer: Egg Collection and Empty Nests and you'll be on your way to Choosing The One and the series of quests of The Rider's Journey which will open up They Grow Like Weeds from Edler Anli and eventually the pivotal questline Flight Training from Instructor Windblade. Soon (more or less) you will be on your way to being able to actually fly on the back of a Cloud Serpent.

I hope this helps others in the same situation, as I feel there should be SOME sort of direction given by somebody at the Arboretum in case you haven't been there in a while to remember what you had done previously. Hopefully Blizzard will perhaps add a simple dialog to NPCs saying something like "Fly out to Windward Isle and look for Instructor Tong, he'll show you what to do next!"

I haven't bathed in sixteen days. It's easier to blend in this way.

Welp, that was what I'd call too much information.
