With his qi weak, Lin Ji receives guidance from Qing Xuan, a guardian of the Dao. Beginning at the Quieting Stone Platform, he repeatedly sits in meditation, stands, organizes his thoughts, and restores his vitality between the Clear Breeze Flatland and the Dao Guardian's Small Platform. Overcoming distracting thoughts, obstructions, bottlenecks, exhaustion, refinement, and inner trials, he ultimately reaches the limit of his current stage, completes a solid cycle of growth, and opens the way to a new path of cultivation.
