* '''The Xia finds a tutor, who can teach him the secret.''' This can be a classic wuxia story in itself, as the player characters seek out wise old mentors who are rumoured to have mastered a certain style, then petition for instruction. Bear in mind that Xia player characters can also tutor each other - its up to you whether you want to roleplay out such processes in full, or simply state that the Xia has learned by watching his expert comrade. | * '''The Xia finds a tutor, who can teach him the secret.'''

The above list is not exhaustive, but rather just a set of examples. The key thing to remember is that in a Xia game, the acquisition of kung fu secrets is a large part of the story in itself! Great stories can be told and adventures can be had in the pursuit of new secrets! Don't just let them become mere marks on a character sheet! | The above list is not exhaustive, but rather just a set of examples.
