The Lore Sheets linked below represent common mastery sets. These are the sort of masteries that starting characters would be likely to know, and which are easily acquired and learnt. Knowledge of these masteries is not hard to find - most Taoist priests are aware of the basic principles, and even ordinary peasant wisdom may contain pointers as to how to pursue these masteries.

The Lore Sheets linked below represent rarer inner masteries. Starting characters will not normally have access to these, at least not without GM agreement. Seeking out a teacher or lore scrolls for these techniques is a quest in itself. Even mastering these skills through self-discovery is a real challenge, and takes determined effort.
