### Chapter 18: The Jade Purifying Technique
Ming Yue stood at the gate of the Xintrea Sect, reflecting on his journey thus far. He realized he lacked a proper cultivation method tailored to his unique Chaos qi. Determined to find a suitable one, he made his way to the sect's library.
As he walked through the sect, he was struck by its beauty and grandeur. Flying cranes soared above, ridden by elegant disciples. The inner sect floated above the outer sect, and the core sect's island orbited them both.
"What an incredible formation. Whoever designed this is a true genius."
Arriving at the white pagoda that housed the library, Ming Yue saw disciples conversing and exchanging pointers.
"Your form needs more refinement. Focus on the flow of qi through your meridians," one disciple advised.
"I see, thank you. I'll work on it," replied another, bowing respectfully.
"The camaraderie here is strong. Everyone is focused on improving together."
Entering the library, Ming Yue was amazed by its ancient beauty. The pagoda's interior was neat, majestic, and filled with the scent of old parchment.
"About 30% of the things here must be from long before, relics of the sect's past. But I bet many treasures were taken by those sects that attacked us during our decline.:
The pagoda had seven floors, with the first two dedicated to outer sect members. The outer sect members wore beige clothing, inner sect members wore blue, and core members donned white and green.
"I'll have to take on missions soon if I want to access the higher floors."
Ming Yue explored the first floor, which had divisions for mobility techniques, martial techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, and other weapon techniques. He headed to the qi cultivation section, which held many methods.
He browsed through the cultivation methods, looking for one tailored to his Chaos qi:
- The Dragon and Tiger Method
- The Eight Trigrams Technique
- The Heaven and Earth Scripture
- The Nine Yang Manual
- The Five Elements Fist
- The Yin-Yang Harmony Formula
- The Crane and Snake Method
- The Six Harmonies Meditation
- The Jade Purity Technique
- The Great Brightness Scripture
"These techniques are impressive, but I need something specific for my Chaos qi."
His eyes settled on the Jade Purity Technique. It focused on purifying any type of qi to an extreme extent, making it suitable for Ming Yue's needs. He chose it and headed back to his house to comprehend the cultivation method.
"This Jade Purity Technique is a heaven-grade method, but it's incomplete. Most people would find it useless, but another man's trash is another man's treasure."
Ming Yue opened the scroll and began studying the technique. He read through its profound verses and found a mantra that resonated deeply with him:
"Immaculate jade, pristine spirit, refine and purify, until the impure, no longer exists in me. Heaven and earth unite, yin and yang combine, within the depths of my dantian, a pearl of wisdom enshrined."
Sitting cross-legged in his room, Ming Yue began to cultivate. He closed his eyes and recited the mantra, feeling the words resonate through his entire being. He focused on his dantian, envisioning the chaotic qi within being purified.
"Immaculate jade, pristine spirit, refine and purify..."
He felt a warmth spread through his body as the chaotic qi started to stabilize and transform. The technique was working, albeit slowly. He continued, immersing himself deeper into the cultivation process. Hours passed, and he could feel the impurities being slowly expelled from his qi, leaving it purer and more potent.
"Heaven and earth unite, yin and yang combine..."
His dantian glowed with a soft light as the chaotic qi began to form a small, radiant pearl within. This pearl symbolized the first stage of his transformation. Ming Yue's body trembled slightly as he pushed through the initial stages of the Jade Purity Technique, but he remained focused and determined.
"Within the depths of my dantian, a pearl of wisdom enshrined."
As dawn broke, Ming Yue opened his eyes, a newfound clarity shining in them. He had made significant progress in a single night, and he felt more in tune with his qi than ever before. The Jade Purity Technique was indeed the right choice for him.
However, as he looked around his small room, he realized he needed to gather more resources to continue his cultivation. The technique required rare herbs and special materials to fully unlock its potential.
"I'll need to earn contribution points to access the higher floors of the library and obtain the necessary resources."
Determined, Ming Yue decided to take on missions that would not only help him earn points but also strengthen his combat skills and knowledge of the world. He knew that to rise within the Xintrea Sect, he had to prove himself through hard work and dedication.
"No matter how talented one is in the Xintrea Sect, you can only advance by hard work, contributing to the sect, tournaments, and challenges."
With renewed determination, Ming Yue stepped out of his room, ready to face the challenges ahead. The path to greatness was long and arduous, but he was prepared to walk it, step by step.
