After talking to the Wayfarer and lighting up the Verdant Wilds' map, head west to find an NPC named Qi Sheng. Talk to him and accept his request. Once that is done, go west to find the General Shrine teleport stone and activate it. This should unlock the co-op feature, and you should now see a 'Social' option in the main menu. If it still doesn't appear, then you may need to raise your character's level in Where Winds Meet.
