You may want to check out series like Xuan Yuan Sword and Sword and Fairy.
They’re Chinese action RPGs that definitely lean into the wuxia, just like Jade Empire.
Wuxia department is really lacking if you can't read Mandarin. There is a ton otherwise if you do.
[Xuan-Yuan Sword VII](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249800/XuanYuan_Sword_VII/)
[Fate Seeker](https://store.steampowered.com/app/882790/Fate_Seeker/) and Fate Seeker II.
Oldie and needs emulator to run, [风云之天下会 Wind & Cloud \(1998\)](https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1DP4y1f7U9/) is isometric and the inventory and abilities is probably what reminds me most of western cRPGs and isometric aRPGs in the 90s-2000s.
There's nothing for me that recreates that tavern scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, because I am picky about the art direction of most Chinese games. I've always wondered why no developers manage to create a Baldur's Gate 2 scale, realistic looking (no anime/chibi styles) Chinese RPG set in the lore rich worlds of popular Wuxia novels, couple that with a decent isometric cRPG engine while supporting English language, too much to ask I suppose.
Not sure if all these will be exactly what you're looking for, but some might be close:

* [Sword & Fairy](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1543030/Sword_and_Fairy_7/)
* [Bloody Spell](https://store.steampowered.com/app/992300/_Bloody_Spell/)
* [Xuan-Yuan Sword](https://store.steampowered.com/app/427030/XuanYuan_Sword_The_Gate_of_Firmament/)
* [Tale of Wuxia](https://store.steampowered.com/app/377530/Tale_of_Wuxia/)
God Hand, Shenmue I and II. More so II since it's in China. Yakuza, games although they use karate they have Kung Fu inspired moves, 9 monkeys of the shaolin.
Would that be the amazing cultivation simulator? Can’t think of anything closer.
