Library

Jade Spirit Waterfall
The Jade Spirit Waterfall is the cultivation treasure land of the Great Zhou Institute. It is said that there is a patch of purple spirit quartz growing at the top of the waterfall, and the water that flows down contains a sliver of extremely gentle quartz energy. When the powerful force of the waterfall strikes the body, the quartz energy within will be pushed into the body which helps unblock meridian channels without harming the body.

Newcomer Exam
The Newcomer Exam is used to rank the new students and to determine which of them were good enough to be further nourished. The top of the class is allowed to participate in the competition and the top ten are allowed to progress to the next level of teaching and can choose which class they would like to attend. Class A is the best class and has access to the most resources and following it is Class B, Class C, and Class D.
