Qin Zhiyun's decision to join the Azure Dragon Sect weighed heavily on his mind. Mei Ling's assurance and access to ancient texts had swayed him.

The next morning, Qin Zhiyun arrived at the Azure Dragon Sect's headquarters. Mei Ling greeted him warmly.

"Welcome, Qin Zhiyun. I'll introduce you to Elder Li and the other sect members."

As they walked through the sect's sprawling complex, Qin Zhiyun sensed the air thick with cultivation energy.

Elder Li, a wise and aged cultivator, welcomed Qin Zhiyun.

"Qin Zhiyun, your unique potential is renowned. We'll guide you to unlock your true strength."

Qin Zhiyun bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Elder Li."

Mei Ling led Qin Zhiyun to the sect's library, housing ancient texts and scrolls.

"These texts contain cultivation principles, Qin Zhiyun," Mei Ling said. "Study them well."

Qin Zhiyun's eyes widened as he scanned the shelves.

"This is incredible," Qin Zhiyun exclaimed.

Qin Zhiyun devoted himself to studying the ancient texts. Days passed, and his understanding of cultivation deepened.

He discovered connections between cultivation energy and the natural world.

Fascinated, Qin Zhiyun realized:

"Cultivation energy can be harmonized with the environment."

His unique perspective merged with cultivation principles.

One evening, Qin Zhiyun stumbled upon an ancient scroll.

Titled "The Cultivation of Qi," it revealed hidden secrets.
