A world where might makes right. A world of Jade and Gold, of Phoenix and Dragons, of Pills and Talismans, of Martial and Spiritual arts.A world where diligent training yield strength, meaning freedom. A world where loneliness means death, meaning social chains.A world still unfair, as the ones reaching the heavens are most likely born rich - be it political riches of the aristocrats, power of secret knowledges and hidden realms of clans, or lucky enough to be born one-in-a-thousand genius.This was not the case of Quiet Word - that is, (You).Your current skill level is on par with other genius of your age. But where they were graced with secret techniques and special care, you just had lucky encounters leveraged to the best and a knack for navigating social situations.You own a trove of techniques and treasures for such a young cultivator - more than you can study efficiently, but your strength lies in the impressive amount of Bonded Spiritual Beasts - A Phoenix spirit, a Horse spirit, a Snake spirit and a Wolf spirit.Speaking of that last one, you didn't told a world about him to anybody. As a scion of the Primordial Wolf spirit, its father warned you of its worth and how people could want to rip it away from you. Especially in such a ruthless and public environment than, say, a townwide cultivator tournament.Previously mentionned worth comes from its ability to Fuse without restriction - fusion being a secret of the higher ranking of your sect, secret you have almost completely rediscovered on your own, and freely shared with your sect-siblings (but not your masters). Alright, the Primordial Wolf might have helped you on that "figuring it out by yourself" point.Recently, you focused on one of your Growth-realm treasure, the Wandering World-Tree. Cementing your relationship with the gifted graft-specialist, you searched and provide a trove of grafts as well as learning about the elegant art of tea composition; learned a new mythical Meteor-Hammer technique and made great progress in your cultivation, getting ready to break through the current minor realm - despite your falling behind issues.Right now, this is the eve of your fourth year with the Eastern Branch of the Tamers of Hundred Beasts. You chose to take on a rare opportunity : the Stormwood instead of breaking through, or helping chart the potential of a new crop of young lads.

Quest Log :>Main Quest :Survive and thrive.>Side objectives :Understanding Inner Gates : There are four gates to break through to rise a level in second stage. You have to gather Qi, and then spent the gathered Percentage to break through.10 is not enough for first gate. 20 wastes Qi.20 wastes more Qi for the second gate than it waste for first.33 is not enough for third gate; it becomes enough with your Phoenix-Qi bonus, before upgrade.44 is the "golden number" for fourth gate.Keep the Wei Ball rolling : your pupil Wei Ball seized two ingots of stormiron. If he doesn't craft a strong weapon pair in the next two years, this opportunity will go to waste.Self Made Man : You found a way to increase your energy efficiency in the form of Phoenix Qi. You're close to turn it into your own Spiritual Art style.Mechanic : each Breakthrough on Phoenix-related technique can increase your soon-to-be spiritual art. You can also work on it and make steady progress on the side. Supply Issue : your sect needs Spiritual Beads with Transplanhumance comming back as their already low reserves are stretching thin and thinnger. Good thing you found a way to reamwalk in the Astral PlanSecond Stage Fusion : Improve your spirit with a fusion while you're second stage - 0/4 fusedCultivate your Garden : With the help of Moss and your Treasured Wandering World Tree, you want to develop your Immortal Cave [great progress so far]A companion on the Way : The Phoenix Ascendancy poem mentions three potential worthy mates for the Phoenix : the Lotus, the Qirin and the Dragon. Secret of the Phoenix Ascendancy : The old text seems to be some kind of map pointing to a place between Stable Lotus Harbor City and Desert's Crystaline Haven [the town where the kid with the Steel-Thunder-Growth Map and Southern Branch of Tamers of Hundred Beasts] . However, with the current travel ban, investigation is impossible.

There you are : North of the town, on a cliff. Your eyes are glued on the Stormwood. Or is it Woodstorm? This strange shape in the sky... You can't tell if this is a storm raining wood, or an otherwordly forest giving birth to wind and lightning. However, this is not your biggest concern : that comes from your dreadful rhythm of the waves colliding on the rock. You don't know how to swim, and your dreadfull Water-affinity is sure to make you utterly useless - so in great danger to drown. Better not look at your promised death, and keep your eyes up there, right?"You're feeling it too, right?- Yes."Your brother Bathias is on the hunt today too - alongside with Stable Lotus' finest. His sight is not up there to avoid thinking at the sea - but you fin a tingle deep insight : you're pretty sure up there, you can find some precious Thunderbird - with enough bad faith, the Storm-aligned Hawk might be perceived as Storm-Phoenix and thus mergeable to your precious spirit? However, the vertical mobility required to reach the skies will prove challenging - double so with the rain of logs."Well, too high for me. I'll go look for landed cool stuff instead. Later."That was Wei Ball, a shining young talent you discovered last year; surpassing all expectations and more-talented kids hardly bargained for."... You guys are wuss. The real boon are obviously at the heart of the storm."LienWen YanEr, daughter of Venerable Stable Lotus, is most probably right, as she often is.You smile, thinking about Gro Ta stuck sieving the new kids this year. >You will stay with Wei Ball on the ground, looking for materials. Good for his to-be weapon; safest option.>You will follow LienWen YanEr and aim for the heart of the Stormwood, running on falling logs. One misstep and the Ocean will open its arms.>You will group with Bathias and take the risk to ascend over the storm. Same as above, except there are fewer to no log to run on.
>>6270160>Go with bathiasworst comes to worst, we could glide down to the heart
>>6270160>What's our DC for these? I'd like to go for a storm hawk. However with such shit water affinity.
>>6270192Basically this is an agility/movement trial with 2 trumps : Unlimited Rising Star Kick and Ascended Phoenix.A bit like when you falled from falling carts, there is no guarantee safety
>>6270160>You will group with Bathias and take the risk to ascend over the storm. Same as above, except there are fewer to no log to run on.If there's a group going there, then that's a higher chance to be caught if we slip-up. If not, we can always catch the branches on the floor below...
>>6270160>You will follow LienWen YanEr and aim for the heart of the Stormwood, running on falling logs. One misstep and the Ocean will open its arms.Waifu is life
>>6270239+1Do NOT drown
>>6270160>Go with Lien
>>6270160>You will follow LienWen YanEr and aim for the heart of the Stormwood, running on falling logs. One misstep and the Ocean will open its arms.
>>6270160>>6270413Send it
Looks like I forgot half of the vote yesterday.>Do you want anyone to tag along? Who?
>>6270506given we are going to the heart on a 4 to 2 vote, ,Man din may be a good move for her versatility and Yi norm for being a monkey
>>6270525well i count 3/3
>>6270539huh, I miscounted.3/3, nice.If we're going up then man din is still an idea but also our elder brother Boyd!
>>6270555Anon, I don't know who is Boyd
>>6270555>>6270569But you can create-your-own-elder-brother if you wish so
>>6270569guy with the wings, falling out the cart and later asked him for guidence on strengthening them.
>>6270579Wow, somehow forget to add him to my docs; nice catch
>>6270160>You will group with Bathias and take the risk to ascend over the storm. Same as above, except there are fewer to no log to run on.I don't trust us to not job this like pretty much all our other agility/movement trial tests so far but if the guy named literally Wei Ball won't ball then someone else has to.
Alright. 1d100 DC80
Rolled 96 (1d100)>>6270647
>>6270653Nice crit bro. Writing.
>>6270647>>6270653https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT6LFOIofRESmashed.
>>6270665Thanks homieDon't know what it is about this quest but I roll so good in it and so terrible everywhere else.
>>6270665>>6270722Wonder if this sets our storm affinity to 96 that would be cool.
>>6270758I'm afraid it won't be that good, anon.
>>6270767Shame should let us roll it like ichor.
There's only one sane choice, really : going farther possible from the ocean - and that mean up, never looking down."Bathias? could you let me take the lead?- Still the glory-hoarder, eh?- Well... More like I'd appreciate your trusted, strong arm to catch me if I fall...- Brother Bathias is so well-liked even fabled Quiet Word, Heartpiercer, Rising Phoenix simps him.- Jealous much? Really, we can do that face-swap elixir thing next time we go to Capital city..."This cast a chilling spell over the whole assembly : all of you were at the Capital City. All of you are under the Empress' mandate, feeling like a curse. Boyd summons his white, long, elegant Crane Wings while Bathias rides his Flying Flame Board.You? You try to follow by combining your Unlimited Rising Star Kick and your own weaker materialized wings. To your mutual surprise, you hold pace more than well, leaving behind skittering first stage scrambling around for dangerless freebies, leaving under the bulk of the cultivator aiming for the storm's heart.Now, time to look closer at the skies...>GETS Roll - everyone is entitled 1d100.You can either roll for Storm affinity OR Spiritual Beast gets. Will keep best of each category; call before rolling
Rolled 47 (1d100)>>6270806Spirit beast Gets.Give us the Pheonix
Rolled 91 (1d100)>>6270806Moar snek
Rolled 73 (1d100)>>6270806Storm wolf BABYYYYYYY
Rolled 62 (1d100)>>6270806Storm Affinity
Rolled 23 (1d100)>>6270806Storm affinity, baybee.
Rolled 55 (1d100)>>6270806Storm affinity
>>6270828So with 91, I think that the rest of our rolls should be spirit affinity.>>627083962 affinity isn't good enough.
Rolled 97 (1d100)>>6270806I was asked to lend my dice, so here it is for Storm Affinity. Now I return to the archives to catch up.
Rolled 97 (1d100)>>6270806The players of Normal Cultivator Quest call for aid, and I too shall answer!Storm Affinity.
Rolled 20 (1d100)>>6270806Spiritual Beast gets.
>>6270902Poggers.>>6270936Stop he's already dead!
Rolled 24 (1d100)>>6270806storm affinity surely
Rolled 87 (1d100)>>6270806Wolf spirit
>>6270902>>6270936Same affinity for pheonix as a storm.Fucking amazing.I kowtow to our saviors.
>Roll high-enough for bullshit Storm Affinity + Storm Phoenix gets>Somehow the winning one is Snake so farI kneel, anons. Would never had cook something like that.
>>6271069>We could have had storm pheonix.>We get a snake insteadAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAfackFack!at least. . . we can bond any of our spirit beasts. I guess. FUCK
>>6271095Keyword: "so far".
>>6271100someone managing 92 or higher is unlikely in the least.
>>6271101somehow managing 96 on the trial was too.Somehow managing two time 97 by tourist was too.As a freebie : i'll allow it - even on a 91!
>>6271101We Could Dream my dudes.
>>6271102>>6271103I'll dream the impossible dream but I dunno man.Hmm. maybe it's good to spread out our bullshit affinities.
>>6271108True. I don't think storm is a mythical word but I have an idea for an art creation.Pheniox Storm of Poisoned Ichor
>>6271111Maybe it will be a golden storm snake.I dunno about soul lashing.
>>6271144Hmm.Could be tricky dick and ask the roller to change their call.The two options are "affinity AND spiritual beast gets", making the call of the actual spiritual beast none binding.But that feels dishonest and disingenuous.
>>6271186I especially disallow this. Anon wanted a Storm Snake, he's getting a storm snake with that roll.
>>6271205Alright anything special about the storm snake?
>>6271265Well made 0% progress on the update Some wargaming in a popular quest of the board kept me busy today so it might be even a bit early to say
Rolled 19 (1d100)>>6271205>>6270806Hey I haven't rolled yet! Come on baby Storm Phoenix!
>>6271302Well I tried!
Locking.
Using falling logs and the occasional thunderbolt-turned-wood as steps for sending an Unlimited Rising Star Kick, unfurl your wings to time another jump, the three of you aim for the highest floating platform - a hat-like conical piece of Stormwood.Wait. There's something that catch your nose : the sent of a Snake. You split, aiming on your left."Brother, do you need help?- Found an opportunity! Catching back in a few minutes!This log. You strike with your Meteor-Hammer, revealing the Snake hiding inside. Your nose didn't lie, and you can't believe your luck : a golden Storm-Snake; this should avoid you a nasty soul-lash.One pocketed beast later, you resume the climb, reaching the strong-scented platform, which hums slowly under the weight of the three of you. You imitate your two brothers, head locked over their head."This is it...- So... Is it a Hawk or a Crane?- Well, it don't look like a Goose.- Wanna learn a truth? Our system isn't universal. Some things are misfits. This thunderbird? It can be an Hawk, a Crane, or maybe even a Phoenix if we believe it enough.- Soooo... I guess you won't just let me take it?- Come on, you know how this work.- What do you want it for?- Do you know my kohai that's able to fuse spirit? Yeah, thunderwings seems neat.- I'd plan to take it to the aviary. Maybe breed it? It feels like a waste to kill it for a fusion or a binding.- WAIT, KILL?- Dude, did you forget the kid's like, 8?- Please forget what I said. Now... What would you want to drop the claim, Quiet Word?>Negociation time with Bathias and Boyd!
>>6272077Wait we've been KILLING OUR ANIMALS?!My mind. . It hurts.~~I did have a long thought about what happens~~What do we want. . . I accept a tea debt to them both
>>6272115As a note, If bathias brings up about how we'd be killing it again, I might fold.It feels really bad to kill the boy.
>>6272077If you do choose to use it for breeding, I would like one of the offspring which is compatable with my existing spirit and a favor in exchange for the patience and risk I take by waiting. If you choose to use it for flight, then take the time to work with me until I develop true flight of my own. In both of these cases I would also like a few materials matching this snake that I just caught and assistance getting home safely. What would you two like to renounce your claims on this thunder Phoenix? It matches my dao and I can find a use for it.
>>6272077>>6272147Ask how long it'll take to breed?Down to breed and take one of the eggs.However I don't believe we're killing them. 100% of the spirit is added to the other. We also know if a spirit master dies it's spirits go free. Meaning they gain a free will.Another thing is why would the primordial wolf king give us it's kin if they know it would die. We can consider that evidence if that not being the case. In fact I believe that fusion adds the memories of the beasts together and they become one being.
>>6272077>>6272176 +1
>>6272176Decades.
>>6272372Okay, so an egg isn't an optionChanging my vote >>6272325 to some of the Thunderbird's feathers
>>6272388Thunderbird feathers ain't worth shit. We can make those if we bonded with them.If Bathias can use his elder status to convince ryota to buy us the skills we want, that'd be nice.But honestly, I don't think we should give up this claim. It's double bullshit affinity for us.>>6272176Thank you, gives me a safe feeling that it isn't murder death.
>>6272405Well, how did a Good Cultivation Quest phrased it, again?Everything dies
>It's double bullshit affinity for us.And what do you have to give them? There was a proposal of tea-debt here >>6272115... Bathias agrees! For two servings, he drops the claims. Boyd seems more interrested in the bird than the debt.
>>6272406AAAAAAAAA BIRDY NOOOOOOOOO>>6272407Drop Boyd some Pheonix feathers and- shit he is probably too high ranked to benefit from the banner.Let him borrow the Gar ruk book. Should improve his ability to realms walk if he's not ill fated.
>>6272413Not interreseted in Gar Ruk. Your Rising Phoenix Feather are sweetening things though.He accepts for 4 feathers in addition to 2 tea debts.
>>6272415Don't be greedy Boyd, 3 feathers.And if he's willing to wait, then he can have some with the storm attribute.
>>6272415How about some of the harvested items from the tree? Might be a few he's interested in?Rather save as many feathers for trades for items later.
>>6272462we should probably harvest the winter ice dolphin, since it's gonna renew soon.it's been in the tree for nearly a year now.if he has any affinity for ice. . .
>>6272462>>6272469>Various sorts of teaNot interrested. However, he counter-offer a spot next time you manage to realm-walk in the Astral Plane instead of 4 feathers OR 2 tea-debt OR 2 feather and 1 teadebt
>>6272486Down for realm walk or two tea debt whatever comes first. Speaking of we get Royta to come along to grab all the astral beads to fill the coffers.Since we plan to breakthrough soon. One tea debt will be paid to them soon and realm hop we'll split it for a favor later or some materials he's got.
>>6272494I wasn't clear.He wants like 3 points. 2 Feather count 1 point, 1 tea debt count 1 point, 1 astral-realm walk count 1 point
>>6272498Alright tea debt and two feathers with the last being tea debt or astral realm walk with whatever comes first sound good?
>>6272499Let's put it to a formal voteDo you guys agree to >2 Tea-debt to Bathias>1 Tea debt + 2 feathers with the last being tea debt or astral realm walk with whatever comes firstFor both of them to drop the claim?QW also have the feeling he's missing something right under his nose
>>6272501Offer to teech him one of the phoenix meditations? If he wants to transform his spirit into a phoenix he'd need it.Other then that a chance to jump into the mythical realm of metal or phoenix and what else we got as a mythical keyword. Which would be worth way more considering the other options.
>>6272504Mythical words don't let us take people with us.Hmm. What elements does Boyd smell like?Swan and?>>6272501
>>6272506The thing I noticed is that he said "my junior that can fuse spirit".But that's us. So how is he gonna do-Oh.Offer him a tea debt and to fuse a spirit to his bonded spirit if he can find one.That should be worth something
>>6272501Offer the services of spiritual fusion? I mean ooc do they know word can do that?
>>6272506 Affinities : Mist, Ice, Silver, Jade, Crane, Deer, Marten>>6272507Fusion spirit can definitely be worth 1 point. And that wasn't even what you guys missed
>>6272511Tea feathers and fusion is fine.But what do they misssssss.Something about the bird able to be anything if we all believe it? So we require their cooperation to ensure it's a Pheonix?
>>6272511>What be a sniffer for the area for hidden spiritual beasts in the event?
>>6272516Oh yeah. That's useful. But we were already mostly planning on doing that anyway, no?
>>6272516you already did that to find the Storm-gold-snake
>>6272522>>6272524Honestly stumped. If its not something we own and the hint is under our nose. Meaning it's knowledge based. I doubt it's teaching them the nose skill. I mean a few astral beads sure. At this point I'm just drawing blanks.
>>6272528When it will be revealed you might understand why this post is so funny.
>>6272532Hey QM.He can have the platform we are standing on.
>>6272536Indeed, the Platform is a 2-point worth Storm, Eye, Wood 4th-stage material!
>>6272537also something we don't own, and is a pain to move.>2 tea debt to bathias>a tea or planeswalk whichever comes first and this platformHa! Haaar! the wheeler dealing bird strikes again
>>6272540Bathias will drop its claim to the Eye of the Storm against extensive free tutoring from Boyd to reach the same amount of flight proficiency. You can strike the same deal.Your "share" of the Platform is worth 1 point, not 2.
>>6272543the free tutoring being worth "a point" I presume.then this deal>>6272501seems best, once you add in flight training. If we don't want flight training, because we have a lot of other shit to do, then we can discount our pheonix.But the deal would stand. . . I dunno, seems worth it to me.
>>6272501With the flight training thrown in sure why not all this deal making is hurting my head. Also you may of gone a bit too heavy with the hints lol.On a random note its really funny imagining all this back and forth deal making while literally high up in the middle of a massive storm.
>>6272556>On a random note its really funny imagining all this back and forth deal making while literally high up in the middle of a massive storm.Normal cultivator moment.
>>6272543I kinda want the wood actually enough to make a bow since we're lacking one. And forth stage means it'll last us quite a bit. With our growth tree(should name it btw) we'd have storm, wood, eye, space, as a strong combination foundation and easy enough tie ins.Can we get enough wood off of it for a bow for one point?Say we do this 1 Point Binding 1 Point Tea Debt1 Point 2 feathers for BoydMeaning 1 point to each to pay for the wood if we can get enough for a bow. We sell another tea debt.If not remove feathers from boys and get flight lessons. Sound good?
>>6272561Sorry add feathers for fight lessons for the second option.
>>6272556It's big enough for 3 people to stand on.I'm sure it's not too much to ask for a bow sized peice.
>>6272561>>6272562>>6272563Boyd can accept sharing the piece of wood for bow-crafting. Now, >Would you book flight lessons (2 Feathers)>You'd owe 1 Point to Bathias. How do you plan to pay him?
>>6272570>Book flight lessonswe can regain them.>Bathias can plainwalk when next we do it.
>>6272570>One time acces to our world tree?
>>6272574what good is our world tree to him? It's also not worth revealing that to him.
>>6272573+1.Bathias I'd say this or tea debt if he doesn't go for it.
I really hope you guys enjoy those kind of negociation minigame as much as I do like to run them - this one have provided me enough leads on content to last the whole thread on quite minimal effort as well as developping Elder Brother Boyd quite a bit
>>6272577It's a fine game for me, I'm not "invested" but I am engaged if you follow my meaning.
>>6272577I enjoy it. We've profited quite a bit with 2/4 spirit fusions filled. Flight lessons to strengthen our wings and fourth-stage bow crafting base. Solving a good few problems.In a few months, a spirit event will happen, and we will have enough beads to snag another if we roll well enough / trade.
>>6272584to our Pheonix and snake as well, with bullshit affinities.which is always nice.>24hadweird message captcha
Alright we'll conclude the event... By a last GETS roll.Everyone can roll once for a named character to get a chance for gets.

With all settled and done, you Jump to a Stormwood twig where perches the prized Thuderbird - It smells of Stormwood, and looks like his feathers are chiseled daggers.One spiritual bead later, you unfurl your wings - akin to Boyd, while Bathias summon his Silk Life-Hawk."Alright, at the count of three..."You pull - and a deafening crack overwhelm everybody : looks like that thing was important - important enough that moving it seems to have badly messed up the knot of thunder and wood which most of the town's talented one aimed for - the structure is crashing down!>Stable Lotus Harbor City cultivators will remember that."Wait, can we put it back in place?- That won't restore the formation. And this triabulation is an amazing opportunity for them to reveal their talents!"You grit your teeth, hoping the best for LienWen YanEr, LienWen JiaLin, Ping Jun and Dhundan that you definitely saw getting inside."And the younglings! It's falling right on them!- Bouhou, poor ones, attacked by a tide of treasure and materials!"You can only watch the disaster in motion... Until the big walnut cracks under a reckless saber attack of an enraged Obsidian-Saber wielder."Looks like Brother Dhunda found a way to save the day..."On the ground, Ai is staring at the meteor falling down. Something falls from the eerie construct, fall on her feets. She picks the Wooden mask - and it's like she erects a sphere of calm and stillness. Your juniors quickly huddle to safety, avoiding the crash. Now they can simply have the first-pick on what remains.You catch your fair share of glare once you've landed. Disregarding them, you go check on your juniors - and looks like their harvest have been fruitful.>Kiddo gets : Nettle (piece of Stormwood)FekenDoshi (piece of Elemental-Stormwood)Kui Ting (StormWood Turtle)Snowflake (StormWood Wolf)YiChen (Storm, Wood, Boar, Shadow)Tau Ryel (piece of Obsidian-Stormwood)Sheng Seng (Brush of the Sea-Storm [Brush, Water, Storm])Wei Ball (Deer, Storm, Wood, TwinBlade)Some things immediately jump to your mind :YiChen beast might fuse with Wei Ball current bound. Deer can be fused with Tau Ryel. Boyd might be interrested.Wolf might interrest you. Else, it can be bounded to NettleYou'll need pieces of Stormwood for most bind/fusions.Of course whatever you want to arrange, you'll have to compensate kids in exchange.>Any deal you want to make?Once that is dealed with, you head back to the sect. You really shouldn't delay it further : it is now time to attempt breaking through >How do you want to split your Qi?>Do you add a "stopping condition" ?
>>6273746About qi.Split it into 12, 14, 16.IF one of these passes the first gate, it really depends on which does it.If 16 is the one to pass, then put 5 in the second gate and see if pheonix qi pushes it past victory.If 14 is the one that passed, use 10If 12 is the one that passes, use 14 to see if that's the key.Once we open the second gate regardless, Stop the breakthrough.
>>6273746Weiball wants Yi chen and Feken doshi's shit for his weapon.Tau ryal/Boyd wants wei ballNettle wants Snowflake.we want Nettle's shit.>Wang Zi - Leader Sword and Spear>Nu Shou - Duundan 2.0 Axes and HammerTau Ryel - Nimble Protental ScoutSheng Seng - Hand to Hand and Bo staff>Watchful River - Rolled 94 Snake, Cat, Water, Jade, Pearl, and a weapon skill to be determined later.Wei Ball - Rolled 79 Horse, Boar, Axe, Shield, Steel, ThunderSnowflake Rolled 45 - Bear and Ox, Unarmed, Ice, Void, Crystal>Ji Lu Rolled 10 - Chain whip[sword whip], Growth, Shadow, WindYi Chen Rolled 10 - Pangolin, Bear, Fan, Dream, Growth, SteelKui Ting - Crayfish, Whale,Twin Blade, Gravity, Leaf + RockFeken Doshi - (I believe) Tiger, Shark, Blood, Life, Death, Tiger clawsNettle - Rolled 66 Deer, Wolf, Spear,Poison Time, ElementalHighlighted those not present.So I say we give Snowflake a spiritual bead, she gives the wolf to nettle, we take the stormwood [1/2 down]Make Boyd compensate Yi chen, so Wei gets his beast and Boyd gets his storm blade deer, Fekin doshi I'm unsure if we can offer the Mage blade Winner's meditation. That technique we've not got a chance to practice with yet because we haven't killed anybody since learning it. But he looks very suited to it, and we can take his stormwood to give to Wei in exchange for a debt [the next spirit bead he gains perhaps].And then we buy the obsidian stormwood from tau ryel with. . . Either a chance at wanderers, or another spirit bead [we should have 8 left after trades] which gives us 2 stormwood for binding to our pheonix and snake
>>6273746>>6273759I've tightened up the list of things to make it easier going forward. >Have Wei Ball trade with Yi Chen>Yi Chen gives the option to sell to Boyd for a better spirit fusion/pills/technique or trade. Or trade with Tau Ryel on debt.>Buy Nettles stormwood and Snowflakes wolf.I consider selling some feathers for a trade in between the sect or merchants, who I bet are already setting up a small trade center.>Recommend Kui Ting, Trade Spirit for something or a compatible spirit. (For known Sanity I put this together to keep track of affinites and spirits I think more or less is right)Known Spirits bonded with >>ShengSheng - Spirit Elephant, Faith, Light - Affinites Pangolin, Ape, Elephant, Dream, Jade> Watchful river - Spirit Lion Pearl Poison - Affinites Snake, Cat, Water, Jade, Pearl, and Whip>Tau Ryell - Spirit Deer, Moon, Wood, Mask - Affinites Marten, Bear, Deer, Dream, Leaf>Snowflake - Spirit Ox, Void, Puppet - Affinites Bear and Ox, Unarmed, Ice, Void, Crystal >Nu shou - Spirit Fire Steel Horse - Affinites Orca, Lion, Horse, Fire, Steel >Feken Doshi - Spirit Tiger, Blood, Life - Affinities Tiger, Shark, Blood, Life, Death, Tiger claws>Wang Zi - Spirit Dolphin, Saphire, Fighter's Eye - Affinites Leader Sword and Spear; Dolphin, Tiger, Horse, Gem, Wind>Ji Lu Wind -Spirit Fox, Growth, Spiritual Energy - Affinites Chain whip[sword whip], Growth, Shadow, Wind >Wei Ball - Spirit Lightning, Boar, Growth, Shield (With Storm it'll be pretty tough) - Affinites Horse, Boar, Axe, Shield, Steel, ThunderAffinites (no idea if they have spirits or not)>Yi Chen - Affinites Pangolin, Bear, Fan, Dream, Growth, Steel>Nettle - Affinites Deer, Wolf, Spear,Poison Time, Elemental>Kui Ting - Affinites Crayfish, Whale,Twin Blade, Gravity, Leaf + Rock Lastly, I'm considering us looking for a storm horse and making the glue between all our animal affinities and working in storm into one of our body and mind cultivation techniques.
>>6273769Seems like a good idea to look for a Horse.And storm doesn't seem to be a legendary word, so fitting it into our methods shouldn't be that hard.
>>6273769Mistake on Watchful River no idea what spirit she has. Was doing a sect trade I believe.
>>6273774>>6273779Anyone oppose my allocation of Qi?And that this should only break through our first and second walls.
>>6273750>>6273794Agreed once the first gate is figured out the rest will fall into place.
>>6273797Yeah, the theory goes; we cannot break through an entire level in one go anyway, so break through half and spend our effort finding the proper number of the early gates.Once we are through to the next stage, I do wanna experiment with the first gate again to find the limits of Pheonix qi
>>6273798Give or take on the last breakthrough numbers. we have 11 qi remainder to figure out. We can break through on 100 qi. The question is what are the golden numbers.
>>6273799That being the case, I do wonder what it would be like to break through gate 4 from 100 qi.So we spend 44, what happens with the remaining 66. Does that carry over?We should see the next time we break through, since we currently have them down to 77 on cost.But if it carries over, it may be worth doing. Because qi is gained faster the more you have.
>>6273746>>6273769Looks good, backing
>>6273769Are you wanting to bond to the storm wolf BTW?Because I don't think that's a good idea. The primordial wolf can just Bind to any wolf it wants.Only adding 1 word to the beast is. . Kinda a waste

>>6273952Huh. Do you think training with us would be any good for Nu shou given we share a fighting style?
>>6273984yes. Really good for him. Might have some use for you.
>>6273986Remember the growth realm saying helping others grow will help Word Grow.
>>6274055Is that not our bonded beasts?
>>6273952Hey, so Can't Tau use her hood to gather astral beads?
>>6274222Not quite yet; not without good mentoring. Guess what? Possible - but will cost you time
>>6274222>>6274234Honestly worth being able to do that will make her quite wealthy and because we sent her and train her it'll be show the sect more favor to us. As it's a major setback for the sect for the shortage.
>>6274239Aren't we a fuckin blessing to the sect.We do need to focus somewhat on progress but, I'm sure the sect will substrrsize our advancement.
>>6273769+1
>>6273952Another thought. So spiritual beasts can eat one another.And with every keyword they eat, they grow stronger.Aaaaaand of we made storm.wood boy eat a wood jade wolf.We could eat a 3 word beast. and the sect has pens for them. . .
>>6274058That... That could work. But in a strange roundabout, cyclic way.>Boon : upon stuck on the bottleneck in the future, you have the Insight that "Fueling the growth of other" could fuel your own growth.
>>6274268Bottom of thread 2
>>6274268I thought you knew this already?Do you remember the early thread storytime, some random asshole got an awesome snake bonded beasts that kept growing and growing?And because it kept strengthening he passed stage 3 even without knowing about beastial fusion.
>>6274274Yah the shark spirit however I'm thinkin it means help others can help your own growth.
>>6274274>some random asshole Fairy wise crane would be so deeply hurt by that comment.
>>6274329Her friend got a primordial shark, Not the giant snake, eh?
"Alright, let's sort it out. Snowflake, you give your Wolf to Nettle. Here, take a bead.- A bead for a beast? Unfair! - Remember you owe me for last transplanhumance you ungrateful little... Nettle, I want your Stormwood.- What, you are going to scam me too?Alright, quiet the two of you. What do you want?- Realmwalk!- Growth Realmwalk would be even better!- Alright, alright. Kui Ting, go trade with the Sect for a Whale. Feken Doshi, I want your wood too - interrested in joining the two others in Realmwalk? Tau Ryel, give your Stormwood too.">Gave : 1 Astral Bead; 4 RealmWalk debt.>Obtained : Stormwood, Elemental Stormwood, Obsidian Stormwood, Stormwood WolfOk. YiChen, WeiBall, you two trade. YiChen, go see Boyd - the guy just there; he'll compensate you fairly for the deer."With that done and sorted (and the mental toll of more travel-debt; but what is it to the already-endebted? Plus, it will gave you good motivation for setting up your cost-effective Growth Realm opportunity)The end of the week is spent in your Immortal Cave. That will prevent Moss to work on tea-grafting, but your Breakthrough is more important.Sitting crossed-leg, it's time to experiment with your Qi. Using your fine Control, you spin a eigth of a dantian (12%) to smash the gate. Your True Qi ram in the gate - it's not enough... As your preciously stockpiled energy dissipate, splinters of True-Qi threads gather... >Improved Phoenix Qi... To from your Qi construct, more potent than last time - potent enough to smash through the gate. A bit surprised, you hurl 14% on the second gate - and that's enough. Sure, there's leftover Qi; however this partial breakthrough went as well as you could expect.>Current Dantian filling : 74%Only thing remaining is stabilizing : shattering two of the gates, losing a fair share of your Qi means large changes in pressure in your dantian and channel. All your focus is required to avoid exploding. A small touch here; circulation there...And just like that, two weeks have come and pass.

>>6274448We will have to try next time.So important question.

Tho guys can we do pills/shopping next turn? Pills make our progress faster and increase our crit chance. And we got some quests that need to be finished.
>>6275459Oh fuck we forgot about the wolf body cultivation technique!
>>6275460My bad - forget to put it in the .txt file of "votePrompt". Fix; let's say it was unadvise to work an unknown body cultivation to fill faster the dantian.
>>6274886>Keyword for wolf from sectWe've been neglecting our wolf for too long. A horse spirit wouldn't go amiss either.
>>6275564Transplanhumance is in like a turn or 2.Horse can be our goal.
>>6275678A thought that I've had is that this spiritual beast outpour we suggest to Ryota that when beasts are given to the sect they be installed in the machine we created and sold to them to test affinities so the sect benefits. As we know spiritual fusion it'll be quite useful.
>>6275952Why would you use a beast as a loadstone?It's good for finding like, the perfect match but it seems a very niche service.
>>6275986Akchually you kinda did that when scouting for kids to evaluate their high beast-ability.
>>6275986>>6276002The idea is that beasts are not mono traited and that means we can see if they are matches for affinities. And double traited animals are not great starter binders. Used as trade fodder/ breeding meaning they are quite useful for the machine.
>>6276002doesn't that confuse the results?does the kid have a very high blood affinity or a very high wolf affinity with this blood wolf?You know what. I'll just accept that it works. More profitable for us that way
>>6276015>That's an easy enough problem to solveSay you have three spirits. fire wolf and water wolf and fire mouse.Say they have affinity for fire and it reacts strongly however to check we use a water wolf to show it's strongly opposed. Which would mean water is no go. And to confirm fire is great the mouse would be neutral or strong. So it would be checking 0 to 200% affinity.
>>6276017well yeah that does help, but as we have very clearly established, getting the exact, simple beasts that we need is a trial in and of itself.which is why the sect's "go and play in the beast pen" is a better broad spectrum test. You're right, completely right, that our method gives much clearer and qualifying results. But we lack a lot of the specifics required to make it function well.
>>6276015That's why you were using a good amount of various beast to get what correlates
>>6276018We can use this in combination with loadstone to fill in gaps. Mainly I want to search the body tags to figure out what to switch danse with
>>6276023Our shitty affinity to dance is my great regret.It is THE style for dueling 1 vs many. That's a great damned thing.
Sorry guys.Got caught up in quite a few things. I don't forget about you - update shall come in the weekend.
Can I get 1 rolls of 1d100? Realised I'm missing it for avoiding Soul-lashBase DC : 50Current training of Spiritual Resistance: -11Banner : -2

>>6277755:)
>>6277751Question can we get a reroll with Pheniox QI?
>>6277771If you had completed your Spiritual Art, yes. As you didn't...
>>6277774I see that option now. Hopefully, the spirit isn't wasted. That would suck.
Regarding your foundation, despite how well and smoothly your practice went, you only gathered a meager twentieth of Dantian - maybe there is a cost of doing partial breakthrough?That doesn't matter much : you have stockpiled enough for your Small Realm breakthrough - unless you desire to take even more delay, for the sake of experimenting breaking through with extra Qi.Your Secret self of the Juggernaut Magus reached its current Apex. You make great progress in your practice of the Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial - not quite reaching the Apex, but meeting another probleme : your Channel associated to Spiritual Resistance, the blue hexagon-like lattice running under your skin, is bottlenecked.This could be a legit souce of worries - if you hadn't in your possession so many different ways to overcome such a hurdle."Hello Ryota. Two things... First, are there any... missions or things you'd need me to do?Well, I can have several things for you. Checking on Golden Skystone Village, MistRock Lake Village or Waterbush coves for starter. But I'd honestly prefer you focusing on harvesting Spiritual Beads for Transplanhumance. Or as you like to do the impossible, lift the travel ban but only for our branch.- You're joking, right?- Only half - I don't expect you to pull it but that wouldn't surprise me.- Then, I'd like to trade this Stormwood Wolf..."Available Wolves :> Earth, Light, Liquid> Gourd, Space, Flail> Ghost, Root, Water>Keep Storm, Wood Late in the week, you pool together the piece of Stormwood; leaves of the Puzzle-Tea - fused right in time by Moss for an early harvest - and one of your precious Rising Phoenix feather.

>>6277779>>Seek medical advice as soon as possible
>>6277779Dagger and Wood added on?Thinkin we could fuse Storm to phoenix. And maybe Dagger as well since feathers could be considered daggers.How does Word feel about the affinites of Wood and Dagger?
>>6277787Looked at my notes Wood has a good affinity.
>>6277779>Keep storm and woodSo to clarify Ryota isn't willing to let the storm wolf eat another wolf to increase it's key words?>Go and check medical advice immediately.If we do it fast enough, we can break through anyway
>>6277779The only option for trade is > Gourd, Space, FlailAs we're bad with Liquid and water.Unless binding such spirits raises affinities.Question could we also trade wolf for idk a horse spirit?
>>6277802>Ryota isn't willing to let the storm wolf eat another wolf Get a spirit to "Eat" another is actually something non trivial and something doing what you want is both exist and is Artifact-tier
>>6277808>Question could we also trade wolf for idk a horse spirit?Yes. Waiting for Transplanhumance is also an option.
>>6277808fuck sake.JUST EAT A KEY WORD GERALD, YOU FUCK>>6277808the trades are all garbage, We have good wood affinity and storm is bullshit affinity tier.
>>6277811Who is gerald? Sounds like a stand up guy. Anyways we should fuse wolf or wait for tansplanhumance. Which will be a bit. And if Royta wants astral beads, have him cough up some money for pills. While we got his ear can we ask such a thing?
>>6277820Gerald is a picky little bastard wolf who won't just EAT A DAMNED KEY WORD, IT'S NOT THAT HARD, WE DO IT EVERY TIME WE ENTER A REALM!WE'VE GOT STICKS AND SHIT, AND A CIRCLE, JUST SWEET HEAVENLY FUCK, DO AS I COMMAND IT!We're training him via verbal abuse until HE STOPS BEING A PICKY LITTLE PRINCESS!I named him Gerald in my anger.Anyway, Medicine is probably gonna become very important in the near future. And should we be worried about the spiritual resistence thing?
>>6277824This is the first time someone mention it i think... You can definitely use a catched beast as a "pet" - with its own issues and opportunities of growth. Now, will Quiet Word have the heart to raise something ONLY to slaughter it for his gainz later?
>>6277832currently speaking, yeah.The hell do you call sect duties of looking after the animals?the reality is probably different later, but I really did think it was as simple as shoving two of the assholes in a circle, doing the magic fusion dance and out pops one.I am NOT suggesting we do this now, I say we eat the loss of an action and bind the damned thing once we are sure our meridians aren't gonna burst open
>>6277824We got quite a few ways to break through the resistance. Which I assume spiritual strength, maybe Phoenix qi, I think Crimson tides of life Ichor can also work. And pills or realmwalk could work.
>>6277837>The hell do you call sect duties of looking after the animals?It's the difference of cattering a hoard of half-tamed animal and spend time with a beast For benefits slightly different, but overall worse than bounding with a beast - in particular lacking the Respawn part
>>6277779>Gourd, Space, Flail>Seek medical advice as soon as possible
>>6277779>>6277780>Keep Storm, Wood
>>6277882Why gourd and flail? Rather than storm
Finally all caught up! Fun Fact: this is the first multithread quest I decided to join>>6277779>wolvesHm. Would "Flail" count towards our Meteor Hammer? Then again I'm not certain any of these choices really stand up to the ultimate trumpcard the wolf is meant to be; especially if we manage to access to wolf realm again. The primordial wolf is going to have OPINIONS is we choose a less than stellar option for his cub.I'm leaning towards hold out on trading until after the Transplanhumance with a slight interest in the Ghost/Root/Water option if nothing better crops up. Or trading it for a horse. We might also want to see what's available as far as snakes go (although I have a suspicion that that storm snake is one step closer to turning it into a dragon). Having three with the storm keyword is probably redundant even with our bullshit affinity for it... and it does seem like a powerful keyword for a spirit that can eat everything. What are your thoughts Anons?>Breakthrough minor realm before all your precious Qi trickle awayThis feels like one of those high risk high reward plays. >>6277787Considering the size/shape of feathers... wouldn't this be a start on hidden weapons? Provided we find a technique for it.
>>6278219>Finally all caught up! Fun Fact: this is the first multithread quest I decided to joinWow, I feel honored.>Hm. Would "Flail" count towards our Meteor Hammer?No.>Having three with the storm keyword is probably redundant even with our bullshit affinity for itWon't comment on wether it's good to stockpile favorable keyword or not.
>>6277891>>6278225Well there goes a big part of why I went with flail, still not sure if we should go with storm or try to get more affinities but either way I'm changing my vote >>6277882 to>Keep Storm, Wood>Seek medical advice as soon as possible
>>6278229At the very worst it does nothing. At best it doubles down on our strengths.The pendants act like some kind of magnet/filter to increase the QI we gather. Double the magnets, perhaps increase the gain?

>>6278225>Wow, I feel honored.Thank the review; made it seem worth checking out.>QM won't comment on whether stockpiling a favorable keyword is good or notThis just makes me think it's going to be bullshit good FYI

>>6278416Didn't felt like samefagging was an issue in that quest. I'm not adverse with players taking a trip/name in that case

This feel serious - you directly go see Snake Mistress."I'm no Soul Damage expert. However Soullash happens from time to time especially with mistakes in beast binding rituals.Bad news : your condition is Serious. Good news : as far as Soul-Lash goes, it's not too bad.- What is exactly Soul-Lash?- Damage in the soul resulting in fractures in your Qi channels. Or Fractures in your Qi channels resulting in damage of your soul. Told you, not a soul expert. Your Qi will leak, you will accumulate less.- And how do I go better?- First, forget practicing anything Soul-Related. For starters, Astral Self is the bigger No-no. Then, Spellcraft and Movement techniques are also ill-advised. That should help you recover. As far as pills go, Spiritual Energy Pill are great for that exact condition. Maybe there exist other, better options.- What about Healing Arts? Can it help?- Depends of the art. Some might - but most time, it's ill-advised to attempt it yourself : you'll do more bad than good. Me and Bathias? Well, we can definitely try but there is no promise of result. And as a sect rule, you'll have to pay for the attempt with two month of daily sect work.- And Breaking Through?- Each gate you'll attempt to ram through will worsen your condition - and thus increase the chances of being Drained Dry. So don't do that.>It's been 4 years and one month since you joined the Tamers of Hundred Beasts.

Alright lads. It looks like :>Foundation : Poem + Jade Wolf Body>Uncle Soulgaze>Metal meltingis winning;I'm entering a week of travel-holidays. I'll try to update; slim chances of it being quotidian.
>>6280094BON VOYAGE!
>>6280094Have fun and make sure not to hunt any spirits too powerful
Pshh. You're out adventuring. Embiggen your spirit as much as you can.
>>6280094Safe travels QM
Alright, it's time for a Pill minigame!What QW have : >Pills0 generic Qi and Blood pill. 0 Qi and Blood Pills [Astral Self][Fighting Intent] 0 Qi and Blood Pills [Growth][Phoenix] 6 Qi and Blood Pills [Silk][Divination] 8 Qi and Blood Pills [Poison][Spiritual Strength] 3 Qi and Blood Pills [Astral Self][Strength] 6 Qi and Blood Pills [Metal][Truefire]0 Spiritual Energy Pill (Restore Soul for damaged bounded spirit/Astral Self)1 month worth of Seclusion pills>MaterialJade Hawk FeatherLight Hawk FeatherMist Hawk Feather5 Rising Phoenix Feather (2nd Stage)10 points worth of coins>10 feather to create.

For example, Astral Self/Fighting Intent pills would be worth 4 points, or 1 Rising Phoenix Feather + 1 point of coins.>1 Rising Phoenix feather = 1d100 for fertility pills (DC : unknown)>Spiritual Energy Pill is worth 2 Points. You can take one per turn to help recover.
so I figured out the rules for that one. Quick post among my busy schedule; real update probably Sunday (no promise)
>>6282704So I want to trade in our silk divination pills plus 4 poison spiritual strength, to equate to 2 points, then put those 2 points back into a batch of 10 poison spiritual strength.I say bite the bullet, turn our 10 feathers into rising pheonix [or storm pheonix if the pheonix part is important in the fertility option.]>4 pheonix feathers for 6 spiritual energy pills.>Give em 5 shots of fertility treatmentThen the rest we can put on astral self/strength.Hey maybe put it to astral self, strength and fighting intent? Ya know, one pill for prime planes walk load out.
>>6282704Can't wait to sit down and get to pill making. Question Qm can you give us the keyword list for all the arts we use including meditation and body arts?Since we got 49 points. I'm thinkin using three feathers for fertility pills it should have good odds. Leaving us with 40 points.But uh I'd like the list.
>>6282838>All keywordsWell...>Body :the Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet (Phoenix + Space + Dance + Growth) Golden Scales of the Skystone Snake (Gold, Snake, Space, Physical Resistance) Secret self of the Juggernaut Magus (Astral Self, Spiritual Strength, Strength, Fighting Intent)>Spiritual Meditation techniques : Way of the Spiritual Beast Boundfighter Wanderer(Astral Self + Beast Taming + Fighting Intent) Poem of the Rising Phoenix (Phoenix, Growth, Caligraphy) Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial (Spiritual Resistance, Poison, Growth) Mageblade Bloody Winner's Meditation (Blood, Fighting Intent, Spiritual Strength) Grounded Phoenix's Amethyst's Cry (Phoenix, Gemstone, Mental Resistance, Earth)>Martial Art technique :Windy Cavalier's Halberd (Wind + Horse + Halberd)Spear style : Blood-Shadow Wolf Painful Assault (Wolf Spiritual Strength Spear Shadow Blood Pain)Mounted Archer’s Wind-Gliding Phoenix's Venom Arrow Phoenix Horse Poison Space Bow WindMeteor Hammer Style : Silk Tiger Sun-Seer Relevant skills : Meteor Hammer Silk Tiger (Overtaken by Beast, Sun Divination Jade Phoenix's Concealed Meteor Swarm ( Phoenix, Meteor Hammer, Shadow Jade , Space)Unarmed Style : Metal-melting Truefire (TrueFire Unarmed Fighting Metal Growth)>Spiritual Art Technique : Spiritual Art : Crimson tides of life Ichor (Ichor, Growth, Spiritual Strength)>Echo-cycle of the repeating astral meteor-hammer blows>Movement Skill :Unlimited Rising Star Kick (Growth, Movement, Leg, Space, Earth, Light)
>>6282704Let's start by making some feathers. I imagine Phoenix + Growth would be the most valuable (though I wonder how Storm + Phoenix would play out). That would be +30 pts. I'm mostly concerned with getting enough Spirtual Energy pills to recover atm. QM probably won't want to spend too many turns injured but as it's a serious injury it'll probably be between 3 and 6 turns. Let's go for 10 so we'll have a few for emergencies (and just in case I underestimated). That'd be -20 pts. We're cultivating so many things it's hard to figure out what to focus on... and I think we're going to need a horse foundation method before we can start consolidating them. QM if you have a moment at what level are all our cultivation practices atm? It's probably best to focus on where we're lacking (might suggest including levels in the vote post in the future if it doesn't bloat too much) unless something is close to the apex of our current level.
>>6282705>>6282851Is this qm? If so thank you if anon thank you as well.Also question for qm could Windy Cavalier's Halberd (Wind + Horse + Halberd)Upgrade to polearm?Alright Create 10 Growth, Phoenix feathers.5 Rising Phoenix Feather (2nd Stage)Coins to 4 points= 49 Points>3x fertility pills 9 points>3x Spirtiual energy pills 6 points>30x Astral Self, Fighting intent (4 feathers/ 12 points28 Points >20x Growth Phoenix Pills (2 feathers/ 8 points)20 points>10x [Poison][Spiritual Strength] [(I believe 3 points)17 pointsAs core but below this point I want the opnion of others.But I'm thinkin 20x [Wolf] [Jade] Since we picked up wolf jade body and our spear art would be great and make sense. [6 points)11 points10x Ichor pills with something thinkin' Spiritual Strength for (8 points)1 Pheonix growth feather remainingAlso our frequency of keywords are thus(i've removed things at only one keyword.)Tag CountGrowth 6Phoenix 5Space 4Spiritual Strength 3Fighting Intent 3Wind 3Poison 2Horse 2Blood 2Meteor Hammer 2Shadow 2Earth 2Astral Self 2Wolf 2Jade 2Ichor 1So i've compiled this list of the effective overlap of all the known techniques. Phoenix + Growth + Space: Forms the main cluster Spiritual Strength + Fighting Intent: Secondary core Poison/Blood/Wind: Bridges or subgroups Weapon styles (Spear, Halberd, Bow) form peripheral but connectable subgroups>>6282875I've made a list
>>628290010x Ichor pills with something thinkin' Spiritual Strength for (8 points)1 Pheonix growth feather remainingsorry this is wrong mathbe 4 points so2 feathers and 1/2 money left.
>>6282900Was referring to cultivation level. What aperture everything below second stage was, what we have at second stage and so forth.
>>6282925Uh most of our body/meditation arts are at apex.I know [Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial] and [Wolf Jade's Body] still need training.Movement and Jade Phoenix's Concealed Meteor Swarm skill should be apex.
>>6282900I don't understand the recommended actions you are making.
>>6282900>>6282949Pill list I wish for for example >30x Astral Self, Fighting intent (4 feathers/ 12 points)Wanting to create a set of 10 pills would be 4 pills.The total amount would be 30 pills then for three feathers to be the ammount wanted. Everything below that is compiling keywords that match our stuff. for people to make there own choice of pills.
>>6282955Hmm.I think the fertility option is a GOOD political move.I'm questioning what is a better value cost. A pill that works with our spirit body and planes walking meditation, or seperate pills for each.4 point vs 6 point, but I think you can get a lot more value out of it, if we committed to the bit.
>>6282978Well, that and I want to help the snake mistress. Also, if it rolls well, we can do some mini business with Uncle SoulGaze. High-level cultivation couples would pay top dollar for such pills.
>>6282981wouldn't they just. Heirs are a serious buissness.And yeah, helping snake mistress is good in multiple ways. She's one of our favourites, we are gonna get something in return, we help solidify relations between the sect and the village. . .A thing an arab friend of mine told me, which we may find useful. "I don't ask a price from a king for my services, for a happy king will provide more than I dare think of in gratitude".
>>6282900>>6282906correction on beginning math >3x fertility pills 9 points>3x Spirtiual energy pills 6 points>30x Astral Self, Fighting intent (4 feathers/ 12 points49-27=22One feather remaining. Not 2 feathers and 1/2 coins.
>>6283060I'm 2 tired it's actually 1/2 coins.
>>6282900>Upgrade to PolearmWould had require chosing "polearm practice" early on (first tournament if my memory serves right). Now, it will be more complicated.>10x [Poison][Spiritual Strength] [(I believe 3 points)4 points.Also, I won't allow selling pills you already have.
>>6283229Could we upgrade snake to polearm?We have to go to the sun perverts place and sell them.Also no money leftover then the math still checks out.
>>6283295We don't have a snake aspected technique other than body cultivation.And that's an animal, Not a weapon.
>>6283305>The animal is a snake and a spear as one turning it into a polearm would ease our problems.
Alright I've had sleep. Anyone else got any plans before qm comes back?
>>6284063I've been visiting my grandmother for the last week so not really
>>6284063>>6284179Good thing I won't make it to update today, eh?
>>6284063I have refinedm y thing here. >>6282766>4 feathers to 6 spiritual energy>5 fertility pills for 5 feathers>Light and mist feathers used to pay for 10 Jade wolf pills>4 of our remaining 6 phoenix feathers being used to purchase 30 pills [20 astral self/fighting intent, 10 growth Pheonix]which I think is how the point totals shake out.
Alright. Feel free to vote/support your preferred buying plan.
>>6284364Obviously I am supporting my own shopping plan.>>6284371
>>6284364This one sounds the most sensible to me.
>>6284364Now well rested and having read over what I missed I gotta ask why five fertility pills? Feel like that's a bit overkill even if we plan on helping out snake mistress.
>>6284364I'd go with with this plan instead if we drop fert pills to 3 and instead grab Ichor Shadow pills As I'm thinking upgrading our spear skill tag of blood to ichor.
>>6284587Because I want to actually manage the pill. 5 chances is a good collage try. 3 is a good shot at having none work.And if it DOES work, any remaining pills are gonna be of good value, which we can sell to golden eye if needs be
>>62846944 fert pills and we get ichor/ shadow pills
>>6284720You would need to drop in an extra dot of money for thst.Possibly more because Ichor I'd a legendary word.
>>6284748Since you didn't use any of the money sell one feather and some of the money which would be 1 1/2 coins as I believe it's 4 points for such pills.Also we still got that goose I believe that we could fuse to uncle soul gaze. Could maybe offer to empower his as long as keeps it a secret.
>>6284760The goose have already been gifted to the good uncle Ackchually
>>6284798The one we got from Dhundan?
>>6284798>>6284801I'm talking about the Kaiju Alchemist Goose
So if I count properly there is a tie with the amount of fertility pillsI'll tell you what : I'll let you start with 3 with the option to chose AFTER the rolls if you want to pull 2 more coins in the gacha machine.>3 Anons roll 1d100
Rolled 75 (1d100)>>6284836
Rolled 91 (1d100)>>6284836
Rolled 34 (1d100)>>6284836
>>6284869I think 90 is enough.
>>6284836>>6284880Agreed.
Locked.
>>6284869>>6284892Fert pills are going to be so powerful that uncle soulgaze is going to have his hands with orders. The profit he'll make off these feathers are going to be great laughs.Watch Snake Mistress Maya Tao have triplets.
>>6285096Nah, she is going to end up like Manjula
First order of business is taking care of soul-lash - starting with a second professional opinion. A quick letter later, you secured yourself a meeting with Uncle Soulgaze."So, I'm not feeling so well this days.- I can see that. Soul-lash. Not too serious, still concerning.- You stick true to your dao name. Any advice?- First, avoid breakthrough. Losing Qi is hard, but you'll aggravate the condition for each inner gate you cross. Then, if your Qi get fully drain, the condition drastically worsen.Second, do not try to use healing arts on yourself : the one able to do something about this exact condition are the exception more than the norm.Last, you're coming for Spiritual Energy Pills, right? Those are never wasted space in a gourd - especially for a Beast Tamer.- Thanks for the insights. Regarding pills, I'd need a few things... Are Ichor-pills on the table?- Ichor? That's a new one for me... You'd have to provide some source material for that one - you know how hard it was to find some Growth and Phoenix feathers? You know what kind of experiments it could open instead of just, well, pills?- Well, good for you, the bulk of my payment will be those..."You focus your Qi on the partially-materialized Phoenix wings. With a sway of the hand, ten Rising Phoenix Feathers come to existence."... And speaking of experiments, three of them are for trying some kind of fertility pills.- Aren't you a little too young for that?- Yes, yes I am.- ... So why do you want them? Do you already envision yourself becoming fifth stage before 25 and looking for countermeasures?- What? No! They're for someone I know! What's the deal with parangons unable to conceive anyway to begin with?- Qi Poisonning for the baby to-born. A common countermeasure is for a high rank cultivator to get a harem of first or second stage and try to play numbers... Putting the low-level life at risk."This reminds you of Daoist Golden Skystone Patriarch."However, some other hunt young promising cultivators - getting both the Fertility promises and some higher potential for the offspring. Be careful : the first time holds the greater potential."This reminds you of the unwanted attention Bathias draw in Capital City."Higher potential for the offspring?- You might be a little young for that, but it's similar to selective breeding of your sect - except the right rituals can pre-open the channels anywhen between "expectance" and 4 year olds, expanding them to one of the parent's if that was not already the case.- So, back on track... Could Rising Phoenix Fertility pills work?- I have a couple idea, to spin it into some lifeline protection for a couple month old embryo... It'll take some time."
In the end, the good doctor craft you on-spot the Rising Phoenix pills as well as the Jade Wolf ones. You still have 4 feathers, and a fullfilled promise to mail you the rest of your command - including 2 Fertility Pills. Back to the sect, you take a first Spiritual Energy pill, and careful choices about what you're working on - starting with mentoring of little Nu Shou."YAAAAAARRRRRGL!- You should take it gentler. See?- That's UNFAIR! I'm trying as hard as you, why can't I make Fire?- 'cause you're first stage. Threads of Qi and Blood are not enough to materialize it.- Yeah, yeah stop rubbing on my face your higher level! I want to make thing BURRRRRRNNNN!- Cute little sociopath. You'll get there soon enough."You take a mental note to find a strong water-aligned cultivator to pair with the hothead as soon as he nears second stage.None of you got a flash of hinsight, but you both made progress. Your practice was more about exploring your underdevelopped Metal Channel than anything else.Around the middle of the week, you notice a parading Yi Norm."Guess I'll have to call you Little Brother for now on."The smug prick have broken through. You instantly regret your decision of playing it safe, overflown by the bitterness of realization : you're falling behind. Thus, you put twice as much energy in your foundation practice.Your Jade Wolf Body foundation is well adapted with your already-worked on Body and Jade channels - quickly pulling the Wolf aspect to your Apex. It feels good going back to the basis of your sect, animal practice.However, the real prize lies with your Calligraphy work. By copying and recopying again and again the Poem...>Technique Breakthrough! Chose one among : >Rising Phoenix, growing legend : Edit the Poem to add 4 verses about one of your past prowess>As the Legend told : Add one Keyword present in the Poem to your comprehension of Phoenix [Currently : Hawk, Fire, Gold]>Technique Advancement : Create a new technique based on this one.

wanna me to repost the poem?
Phoenix AscendancyHigh atop the crimson peak, where heavens meet the earth,A phoenix rises from the flames, proclaiming its rebirth.Gilded feathers touch the sky, igniting dawn's first light,Eyes of wisdom, ancient lore, reflecting endless night.Below, the beasts of forest bow, in awe of fiery grace,Tigers, lions, serpents coil, each in their sacred place.In the shadow of the mountain, where most fear to tread,The dragon stirs in silent might, its emerald scales widespread.From the phoenix’s lofty perch, it surveys the realm below,With a gaze that pierces through the veil, where secrets ebb and flow.To the dragon, it nods in kin, both guardians of old,One of fire, one of sea, in legends long foretold.The phoenix sees the bear's brute strength, the cunning of the fox,The wisdom in the turtle’s eyes, the wolf’s unyielding flocks.Yet none can match its burning soul, its flight through time and space,A beacon of undying hope, a testament to grace.As flames entwine around its form, it soars beyond the mist,To realms where only dreams reside, and ancient vows persist.The dragon roars a thunderous cheer, as the phoenix takes its throne,For in the sky, where legends dwell, the phoenix reigns alone.Amidst the tranquil lotus pond, where moonlight softly gleams,The phoenix descends from fiery skies, wrapped in golden dreams.Feathers bright as molten sun, alight with heaven’s grace,It gazes on the flower bloom, serene in sacred space.The phoenix bows its head in awe, to this kindred soul,For in the lotus’s gentle form, it sees a spirit whole.No lesser than its burning flight, the lotus shines with pride,Together they reflect the world, as equals side by side.In whispered winds and rustling leaves, their meeting sings a song,Of balance in the universe, where both belong.The phoenix soars with newfound grace, the lotus blossoms wide,Each echoing the other’s strength, in harmony they bide.Beneath the sky where the great roc soars, in boundless azure height,The phoenix glides on wings of flame, a marvel in the light.Not as high as the haughty roc, that touches heaven’s dome,Yet in its flight, a strength unseen, a power of its own.It flies beneath the blazing sun, not reaching solar might,Yet shines with radiance pure and true, a beacon in the night.Smaller than the vast army’s march, that shakes the earth and sky,Yet in its grace and fiery dance, all warriors testify.Not as vast as Leviathan, that roams the ocean deep,Yet in the phoenix’s gentle song, the seas themselves do weep.Not as benevolent as Buddha’s smile, that calms the weariest soul,Nor as malevolent as demons dark, who thrive in shadows cold.
Yet in the balance of the world, where legends come to play,The phoenix holds a secret might, that none can take away.For in its heart a flame of life, rebirth in every breath,A cycle unbroken by time’s march, undimmed by touch of death.The roc may fly in skies untamed, the sun may blaze above,Armies clash and monsters thrash, in battles they both love.Buddha’s grace and demon’s wrath, may sway the hearts of men,Yet the phoenix, in its silent grace, transcends beyond their ken.For in each death it rises new, from ashes pure and bright,A testament to endless hope, a flame that conquers night.Through ages long and trials vast, its spirit never wanes,The phoenix triumphs quietly, where fleeting power drains.Legends come and legends go, in tales of old and new,But the phoenix, ever burning bright, remains forever true.A symbol of enduring strength, of beauty, and of might,In every dawn, it rises up, a victor in the fight.In the realm where mountains rise, and rivers carve the land,The qilin strides with gentle grace, in fields so green and grand.A creature of celestial birth, with wisdom in its eyes,It lords over the fertile earth, beneath the endless skies.The phoenix, from its fiery perch, descends with wings aglow,A being of immortal flame, where ancient breezes blow.With feathers bright as morning sun, and songs that touch the stars,It meets the qilin on the plain, where heaven’s gate unbars.Together they stand side by side, in harmony profound,The qilin’s steps make flowers bloom, where peace and love abound.The phoenix sings of life reborn, from ashes pure and bright,Both beings shine with equal strength, in day and darkest night.They share a bond of balance true, of earth and sky combined,In each the other sees a light, where fates and paths aligned.The qilin roams the verdant fields, the phoenix rules the skies,Each knowing they are matched in power, in wisdom, and in ties.Yet as the phoenix spreads its wings, to journey once again,It ponders on its Daoist path, and muses in the rain:“Who shall be my partner true, in quest for Dao’s embrace?The dragon fierce, with scales like jade, who soars in boundless space?”“The lotus, pure and serene, that blooms in quiet ponds,A symbol of enlightenment, of peace that always bonds?Or qilin, lord of all the land, with whom I share this flight,An equal in both strength and grace, a beacon in the night?”In twilight’s glow, the phoenix thinks, and sings its song anew,For in the choice of partners three, it seeks the purest view.With wings aflame and heart alight, it ponders destiny,And in the dawning light it flies, to find its harmony.
>>6286017>>As the Legend told...>Yet none can match its burning soul, its flight through time and space,>To realms where only dreams resideSoul, space, time, dreams all sound useful and/or interesting. Space probably being king among them for QW as he's already visited the space door and it's a keyword that we already have access to and can double down on. Soul might be a good contender, though, given our astral abilities (and might help us recover).>Play it safe for nowWe'll have to mitigate the mental health hit somehow. Maybe picking up a horse body cultivation method, revisiting the garden, or putting focus on sect duties/friendships
>>6286017>>6286034 +1
>>6286034+1 makes sense as space is part of a few techniques along with phoenix
>>6286034>Support
>>6286034+1 While falling behind Yi Norm is a massive ego blow that we must address later on for the sake of the universe remaining in balance If this gives us a excuse to gardenmax some more i'm all for it.
>>6286017>Technique Breakthrough: As the Legend Told - Add Wisdom. Time, Space, and Soul and Dreams are all cool, but I like comprehension better. I almost picked Enlightenment, but that is listed as Lotus trait in the poem, Wisdom is the Phoenix and Turtle trait. >Play it safe for now. Contemplate the plugging of the jar. A bone grows stronger when broken bones heal. Does the Soul Jar do so as well?
>>6286020Technique Breakthrough: As the Legend Told/>Yet in its grace and fiery dance, all warriors testify.Let's get a DANCE keyword in there - this'll make us more efficient with some of our training and will bridge our shitty affinity with dances. Think about it; how can we add Space to how a phoenix works? How will we put it into practice? Dance seems a lot more suitable to our level and our needs.
>>6286797Actually yeah, no, this is much better.Danse added to the Pheonix word is SO MUCH BETTER.We can train our fucking 1 vs many skill without our bad affinity messing with us.THIS IS GENIUSChange >>6286204To support adding dance
>>6286402I wish to propose to you that wisdom isn't a key word we have put any effort into training and have an unknown affinity for.It is unlikely to be better than pheonix but if it is good affinity, then this is a waste compared with raising a bad affinity to bullshit.>>6286192>>6286098>>6286206To the rest of you, I propose that we take this chance now. We have many items with space as a key word and haven't hit our limit yet. So we can continue to improve it while fishing for another crit.Dance has hit its limit and won't improve any further NOW. And we have 1 technique with it where we can improve. The cost by ignoring the chance is much larger.
>>6286192>>6286797I'll switch to dance if it's acceptable to merge with Phoenix.
>>6286883Sure, I m willing to change my vote >>6286098
If I count right, there is 2 votes for Space, 1 for Wisdom, and 4 for dance.which might be something like second best for you, I added this verse exactly for that purpose when writing the poem giving you one possible way to circumvent the shitty dance affinity

>>6287047So this next turn should have us fully healed and then we can test the viability of carrying over energy.[if we break through with 77, we have 86 currently. So do we keep 9?]Which is honestly an important consideration.>Wolf jade body>Poem of rising Pheonix.That's founation done.Lets mitigate the damage hit with>Gardening timefor that guy who likes plants, this one is for you.>Metal melting true fireLets keep helping the little sociopath
>>6287047Let's go pick up a horse body foundation and practice that for foundation since we got Jade Wolf to Apex last update. Meditation is still off the table due to soul lash, no? Horse martial scroll maybe? If we don't go for the new body foundation technique... Jade Phoenix Concealed Meteor storm? Gardening.
>>6287146Wolf is APPROACHING apex, it isn't yet.We don't need a horse foundation technique, the martial scroll will do for the purposes of raising an affinity. And it has earth and silver in it.So that keys off grounded Pheonix and metal melting true fire
>>6287157As an aside what's the difference between storm and Wind.
>>6287161Storm is mythical so technique are bullshit-tier. Storm include (so far) Wind, Lightning and Elemental : made of a materialized element
>>6287157Ah, seems I misread the update slightly. Wolf to apex, but not necessarily the technique: >>6286017>Your Jade Wolf Body foundation is well adapted with your already-worked on Body and Jade channels - quickly pulling the Wolf aspect to your ApexMy intention with a horse foundation isn't necessarily to raise our affinity; I just suspect that there's a secret we might stumble upon if we get a foundation for all four of our animals and practice them in sequence (say snake to wolf to horse to Phoenix then repeat). There might be a way to consolidate our foundation practice rather than splitting it up like we have been doing. >>6287168Guess we did good holding onto that storm wolf.
>>6287191My intention with a horse foundation isn't necessarily to raise our affinity; I just suspect that there's a secret we might stumble upon if we get a foundation for all four of our animals and practice them in sequence (say snake to wolf to horse to Phoenix then repeat). There might be a way to consolidate our foundation practice rather than splitting it up like we have been doing.To be honest, there wasn't any secretUntil now.
>>6287191I mean if you wanted that.The sequence is Snake body, Pheonix mind [we have a lot of options], horse martial art/bow art/cavalier art, wolf spear.There's your 4 foundational affinities.
>>6286797Sure I'll change my support for this>>6287047>Wolf jade body>Poem of rising Phoenix.>Gardening time: Look for spiritual plants>Ask the masters for skills allowing survival in extreme environments!>>6287123Lets goooooo
>>6286017Forgot to vote for the Qi-gathering; let's not make our foundation unstable because of jealousy, and heed the words of Uncle Soulgaze.>Play it safe for now [this will be bad for your mental health]>>6287047Regarding the training, we've been paying a lot of attention to our bounded phoenix and wolf to a lesser extent, but our horse and snake haven't had as much.We've been getting growth-aspected feathers as a trade material, but we could be getting gold-aspected snake scales/snakeskin from molting from our snake which we could sell at the marketplace. Our horse has the Martial and Shieldbearer keywords, which HAS got to be worth something! If we could sell parts of its mane for accessories for the Military Youth, that would be another strong point in our favour for yearly negotiations.Therefore, I think we should definitely read up on the Horse Scroll, which would align with our horse's strengths.My vote:>Body [Golden Scales of the Skystone Snake]>Work again on the Horse Realm martial scroll>Investigate on the talking Spiritual BeastsTempted to go all-in with the animals. I forgot what the talking spiritual beasts thing is but maybe we'll learn to talk to ours.
>>6287047First gate more then 12%Second gate less then 14%Third gate more then 33%Forth gate at 44%I'd say use 37% to break through the third gate so we can narrow it down to 4% then next time try 35%. Unless we get to use pheniox qi again then go for 35%.For foundation.>Wolf jade body>Poem of rising Phoenix.>Work again on the Horse Realm martial scroll>Create a pheniox qi art (Thing we haven't done yet and got a breakthrough for)
>>6287192>Until now!!!
>>6287047>Body [Wolf Jade's Body] [Pills available]>Meditation [Poem of the Rising Phoenix] [Pills available]>Work again on the Horse Realm martial scroll>Take care of the spiritual HawksDidn't Master Soulgaze say not to mess with any spiritual arts or attempt breakthroughs while we're suffering from Soul Lash?
>>6287455he did say that. so did snake mistress.No breakthroughs, Nothing to do with soul or astral keywords
>>6287047>Body [Wolf Jade's Body]>Meditation [Poem of the Rising Phoenix]>Work on your Jade Phoenix's Concealed Meteor Swarm (since I'm running Jade and Phoenix)>Write In Social: Work with Ai to study our soul as it heals to see if she can develop a spiritual healing technique.
>>6287047So just thinking about how difficult it is to put storm into our archer style.Wind, poison, horse, bow, Pheonix, space.We would need to remove poison and space, then fuse, then put them back. Which is 5 breakthroughs.Improving cavalier is an idea but that's 3 break through to make it a bullshit quality technique.Still, makes it useful.
>>6288746>Overthinking it fuse space or wind to phoenix and then add storm.
>>6288746Can't we just replace wind by storm as it is an improvement? Add in thunder then create storm from wind + thunder? Or am I mistaken?
>>6288763that's still 5 breakthroughs but it DOES make for a continually functional technique and leaves 2 spaces open for more.So yes this is the superior way, but it's not overthinking it.>>6288801read this here first. >>6287168 You need wind, then Lightning, then elemental in a technique, then you fuse them together to make Storm.just like how we need Hawk, gold and fire to make Pheonix.
>>6288803Regarding mythical keywords and breakthrough, it's a tad more subtle (you won't get scam for adding more keyword to Phoenix for example. And there is a whole affinity-to-a-keyword deal.)
>>6288803I don't really see it as 5 breakthroughs at most. Three? Fuse space into phoenix using poem. Add lightning and then fuse with wind for storm.>>6288809Is that how it's done Qm?Or make a phoenix technique form our one breakthrough and add storm to it right away. Fusing storm in one breakthrough.
>>6289143Not quite.Also, adding Storm to Phoenix is not unfeasible, but it's adding a mythical keyword to an already mythical one... I'll have to wrap my head around this.
>>6289143breakthrough 1: fuse space into pheonix with the bow techniquebreakthrough 2: fuse poison into Pheonix with the bow techniquebreakthrough 3 and 4: add lightning and elemental key words.Breakthrough 5, fuse lightning, elemental and wind into Storm.and yeah, storm into pheonix is a. . . thought we've had before.
>>6289160I didn't know it was a mythical keyword. Strong add to phoenix spirit then. Although it's gonna be hard to add to fusion onward.>>6289196Poem breakthrough could add space to phoenix but I see your point. I thought strom was a common word. Yah then you right.
Alright locking foundation of Jade Wolf Body + Poem.For now, the "other" votes are split all around the place : I have 3 Horse Scrolls (so I'm locking that one too) and 2 gardening - not feeling that confident so we'll tiebreak this one while I work on the rest of the updateWhat will be your last action?

Sorry for lack of update.I promise I'm not forgetting about you guys. However, you've fallen a bit down the "priority order" as my free /qsting/ time is thoroughly being eaten up by some community event I'm doing on the other forumPokemon battle with the opponent driven by an other QM of said other forum - hopefully drawing to an end
>>6293473Sadness
You start the week safely, by popping another Spiritual Energy Pill This seems to plug the last leakages. However, to play it safe, you decide to wait until you're certain there is no more risks - including a careful pick of this week's technique selection.>Soul-Lash condition : Cured.There's nothing much to say about your pill-enhanced work related to the Poem of the Rising Phoenix and the Jade Wolf Body - other than steady progress bringing the latter to your current Apex and some interresting observations regarding the former.As of the former, a careful time taken for channel-based introspection reflected your recent shift in understanding : Your mythical channels are running deeper in your body than the keyword-related ones. Hawk, Fire and Gold used to dive, merge, rise again from the Phoenix braid. Over the course of that couple of weeks, you feel the shift as your shallow, sleeve-meeting Dance channel weave itself in the mix.Somehow, despite the sheath not changing at all on a surface level, it progressively grows until matching the seemingly boundless Phoenix one. One worry less for the future, as Dance itself is weaving together with Strength, Physical Resistance and Legs in the Body deep channel - which you can clearly perceive the limitation of. After all, raw might have never been your strong suit.On your dantian side, once the leak plugged, the Qi tirelessly accumulates until filling said Dantian to the brim.>Qi accumulation : 100%The forced down time is also the perfect opportunity to - finally, at long last - take another swing at the Wondrous scroll found in Horse Realm.With your True Qi, you reach a full understanding of the insights encased within - but the scroll itself turns into silvery dust, and disappear in your hands as soon as you learned that legacy>Introducing : Stances. Passive buffs.>Each Stance known take a "slot" (E.G. : you can't learn 2 Horserider Stances)>If you collect 12 Stances that works well together™, you can merge them in a Martial Art, keeping the benefits of your Stance and opening the associated slot again.Silver grounded Horserider Stance (Unarmed Fighting, Silver, Earth, Horse)The Horserider stance is traditionnally the first stance taught in most fighting style.This variant reinforce the body with the purity of Silver and ground you with the power of Earth. The benefits of working this technique involve : - Improved mounted fighting (+1) and Unarmed Martial Arts (+1) - Ability to turn Qi into Silver in a flash at the instant the Stance is taken (good against Poison, Dream, Soul) - Ability to turn Qi into Earth in a flash at the instant the Stance is taken (harder to move, better resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slicing, Thunder) - The stance can be taken mounted.
Last, there is ample downtime - ample enough for you to cope out of your falling out of pace by definitely not strolling idly in the wild - definitely looking for some piece of Stormwood that took root, right? Or maybe something the storm kicked up instead?Alas, there is only devastation lying around. That is, until you stumbled in the most fascinating phenomenon.A small plant, picked up by your nose : a Tulip made of countless roots, flowers and miniature trees.Of course, you arrange for your steward to see the plant for itself."That is most peculiar and some really unique find. It looks like some plant-aligned plant. This seems as rare as unique, and... - Yeah, yeah. Can you graft it to the tree?- As I was trying to say, the complexity of this one is like nothing else. I'm quite certain Camelia would be interrested in such a treasure if you want to sell it. Else, it'll require some great deal of efforts.- What's you current backlog? - Just finished working on the Snake-Poison topiary one. Got a couple Tea remaining... A month of work, I'll say.- So just add this one to the to-do list.- It won't be that simple. I'll have to think about it, but from the top of my head, any way to graft this one will demand some upfront payment of ressources.So yeah. You'll have to take a decision regarding that Plant-plant. No emergency though.It's been 4 years and 2 Months since you joined the Tamers of Hundred Beasts.The choice about what to do right now is obvious : go in your cave, and focus on your break through...Just as you're waving goodbye to your siblings, Ryota approaches you."So. Transplanhumance is early this year - in a few days."Why can't NOTHING be simple in your life?>Take part of upcoming Transplanhumance event. Delay Breakthrough. This is bad for your Mental Health.>Break through. Miss Transplanhumance. This is bad for your Mental Health.
>>6293987>Take part in transplanhumanceAint no issue. Nothing wrong.We have a month after to break through.
>>6293987>Take part in transplanhumanceEven if it's bad for our mental health. They money is too good to pass up. And it's only a few days delay. At most 2 weeks and we can track down a snake and or wolf spirit.
>>6293987>Take part of upcoming Transplanhumance event. Delay Breakthrough. This is bad for your Mental Health.While both roads lead to hell since we currently have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai driving off said roads and crashing into said mountain instead is sadly not a option
>>6293987>Break through. Miss Transplanhumance. This is bad for your Mental HealthGoing there, we'll have everyone showing off their new skills and catch a bunch more spirits than us. Not only that, but we've done quite a lot of work on our spirits lately, and finding more and binding more will take away even more of our precious time. If we really want more spirits, we have plenty of barganing chips to negotiate one or two from our friends.Furthermore, something interesting might happen right after that, and we'll still be stuck without breaking through.My final argument is that everyone will be gone while we break through - we'll be at peace, no one to distract us, just us and our dantian, almost closed-door meditation. No better environment to break through, I say!
>>6294178Except we are going to be stressing out over the fact we are missing Transplanhumance the entire time which probably counteracts any benefit being alone gives. (Plus except for occasionally visiting the tree dude we are usually alone anyway.)As for the first point imagine how badass it'd be if we ended up catching the most spirits despite currently following behind, the possibility of rubbing that in Yi Norms face will forever be lost if we don't try!
>>6293987>>Take part of upcoming Transplanhumance event.Let's try to get back to the astral realm for more beads now that we've recovered. Only got a couple days but it might mitigate the mental health hit if we pull off a big contribution just in time.
>>6294065Already got storm wolf. Storm is a mythic keyword and one we have high aptitude for so it's a good option even if we're doubling up on storm in our bindings.
>>6293987>Take part of upcoming Transplanhumance event. Delay Breakthrough. This is bad for your Mental Health.Either one is bad for mental health, but we can break through any time.

looks like I know what we're doing next
"Alright. I'll delay my Breakthrough.- Alright. You'll have to coordinate Dhundan, Ai and Yi Norm. The twins are breaking through. You also are in charge of your little ones bunch. Here are the tablets.- No beads?- There are required both for bonding and fusion. Despite how promising your little trip was, we didn't secured enough of them. And for sustainability purpose, I'll prefer giving a shot at this year's kid and ask the other to try scoring catches without beads.- ... I can make it. I'll need flares. Lots of them.Relevant part of the inventory : >7 Spiritual Beads>1 Spiritual Bead holding a Gold-Storm-Snake>1 Spiritual Bead holding a Stormwood WolfYou know the Beasttamer Restraining Formation - however you can't fight yourself while incanting it.Of course, Ai can probably charm the savagest beast, while Dhundan can make the same one kneel. Then, there is the whole matter of how deep toward the heart of the anomaly you should dive. At Five marks, you'll probably meet third stage and fourth stage beast - a great way toward maim and bad time... But what if you could pull it up?>Write-in only vote : arrange the kids and your strategy for that event.>Of course, you can distribute some of your beads.
Anyway, sorry for the delay for such a small update. Life have certainly not be hard, but found ways to keep me busy anyway.
>>6297324Can you post the group? I'll figure out a plan afterwards. Also understand since I've been running around as well. Since this is mainly getting some easy money and the new kids have cultivation under them. I assume mid first stage to late. Less baby sitting and more action. We should go for mark 2/3. Lastly, did any of the kids get beads? And can we work with the seniors this time.
>>6273952you want this chief >>6297354Anyway,I say we go to 2/3 or maybe 3/4 mark. Stick us with Yi Norm and use him to delay while we use the restraining formation.Put Dhundan with Wei ball, Watchful river, Yichen.Put AI with snowflake, Kui ting. Tau ryel, Sheng sengwe will take Yi Norm, Nu shou, Ji Lu and Feken doshi with Needle.the others stick around the 3 area, since the old ones job is to pacify the animals for the yougn ones to make shots.
>>6297354>Kids and beadsNone written in my notes, so I'll assume no.
>>6297550Dang the heck have the kids even been doing all this time? >>6297390Regardless this sounds good although personally I say we should go for the 3 mark straight up and move back or forward from there based off how challenging it ends up being. Also just as some disjointed thoughts based upon the knowledge given it's possible our best tactic is "have others hold off the spirit as long as possible so we can restrain formation it", for Ai a combination of charming to get the beasts guard down then semi-stealth capturing seems like a good bet, and Dhundan it's just kinda "zerg rush the shit outta it and win".
>>6297322*Cracks Knuckles*Alright, I have nothing going on, so let's put a plan in motion. If it's just us and the kids again, it's a bit of a pain with only seven beads. I have a question and will modify the plan I come up with after I know such.Do any of the others know the capturing formation?If not, what can we do but go for high-value targets right off the bat for good trades? At most, we can create 4 teams. We'll be pushing for Mark three as the kids got spirits. Dhundan, Ai and Yi Norm will be the power lifters.Scouts will be Word, Nu Shou, Tau Ryel, and Feken Doshi, as Tigers are, in fact, stealth predators. Each person team will have 2 beads but they are to be used as an emergency such as the beast is of very high quality, too powerful, getting your shit kicked in ect ect.Team - Dirty Deads Done Cheap. Captain will be Wang Zi for leadership (Bead user), for the power Dhundan, Watchful River sneak attacking with the bead, Yichen as the distraction.Team - Killer Queen. Captain Tau Ryel(Scout), muscle Ai (Bead user), tank Wei Ball, Ji Lu (Bead user)Team - Free Bird. Captain Word(Scout/binder), Sheng Seng, Snowflake, and Kui TingTeam - Bad Company. Captain Nettle, Feken Doshi (Scout), Yi Norm (Tank), Nu Shou (Secondary Scout)Notes for flares for communication. 1 = Help 2 = Need a binderIf no one else knows how to bind then I'd ask Kyo Kyo or one of our other seniors who knows it to join the group. Also also talk with Kui Ting and tell her you're teaching her a meditation.
>>6297734Every team will get 2 beads except Word's group at one.
>>6297707living their own life and minikid adventures, breaking through and whatnot? They're all at "Eye Aperture level" which is quite good.>Do any of the others know the capturing formation?No, but Ai and Dhundan can reasonably hold down a neutralized target for you to Wololo.Also, with your Horse spirit you're notably faster than Sheng Seng (on her bounded elephant) and Snowflake (on his bounded Ox) and tremendously faster than Ji Lu (on foot)
>>6297734What's the value with 4 teams rather than 3.I think the kids by themselves is. . Risky as fuck. You want to throw some stage 1 initiates to capture 2 or 3 level animals. I fear their speed and ability surpasses them even with their ability to slap an instant win button on them.
>>6297734I like your team names and ideas, however I think that sending the children after tier 3's is dangerous. I think pull the 4 elders from each team, give each youth squad leader two bead, and have them hunt tier 1. AI is sent to the tier 1 hunting grounds to protect the youths. Then form a Top Talent team of ourselves, Dhundan, and Yi and go for the 3's with 1 bead. QW can hold multiple beasts at a time, so the three beat the beasts into submission and then QW binds them to eventually bring them home. They split the spoils with the intent of giving AI something for her troubles. The bead is for emergency capture of something cool (alternatively give the bead to AI and convince the top tiers that we're badass enough that we don't need no kiddie beads).
>>6297737>>6297821>>6297845>Yah I know of the Group, the fastest would be Word.I had the wild thought of splitting up the kids in the Words group with the others and running around beating up spirits. And having him ride around and capturing spirits with his binding. Word would keep one bead for an emergency the others 2 each still.If anyone has any blood and qi pills to give to Word for boost in speed.If Word can't make it to the group and it's high value to bead it. Since it takes him ten minutes to bind, I'd figure he'd be out first. like this formation. (Below and more spaced out. could also go sideways with QW spearheading the formation still.) *(QW) / (Dirty Deeds Done Cheap) / ( Killer Queen)/ Bad CompanyIf I remember, this is three rounds of rolls so for the last one, depending on bead amount we hit the stage three ground and capture a high-value target with the group.Hoping with this setup up we get at least 7-13 beasts. Now this would go better if we had at least another binder or 2. Could we ask snag someone qm?
>>6297920>Could we ask snag someone qmI'd say no. They have their own assignments and stuff to do.
>>6297920I'm kinda in the camp of >>6297845where we give the new generation a chance to make their gains as well.Let the kids stick to 1-2 mark, While Yi norm/dhundan/us go and try for the big bounties.Ai is also the easiest to convince to stay back.
>>6297322>>6297845 +1
>>6298242>>6298245The counterpoint problem is that beads can fail and it takes ten minutes for the formation to hit. Going for mark three targets with only 1 bead with only three stage 2's is a bad idea. Why I suggested we work on mark two is that Word can run around along with Nu Shou actually as the others are strong enough to stall easy enough. Less risk and way more reward.I want everyone to remember the goose.
>>6298334Does the mark take 10 minutes?But yeah, I suppose your point has some value.A wider spread of much weaker animals has some. . wider market for it.And we only really want a horse out of this whole thing so anyone else managing shit is their buissness.I'll throw in support for "have everyone spread out to catch as many weaker animals and stall"though this does mean that if it takes 10 minutes to bind, 2 or 3 people getting a catch in rapid succession is gonna fuck us slightly.but lets call this "plan conserve beads"
>>6298335Formation indeed takes 10 minutes.Mark is the danger level.
>>6297322Hm. If we already more or less know the area these beasts are coming through why don't we so spend some time preemptively laying formations? We might not catch much, and they might not hold until someone can deal with what we catch but snares and other traps are classic hunting methods. However we break up our forces each team should have at least one person who can subdue beasts without a bead. And given QM needs 10 minutes in an active fight... whoever is best at stall tactics. We probably shouldn't go too deep but fortune favors the bold so 2 to 3 marks maybe? 4 if we're feeling spicy?
>>6297920I'll lock this plan.I'll allow 1d100 per named character. Double rolled allowed after 30 minutes, triple-roll after 2 hours, this should cover it.DC of getting hurt and success vary with danger level, which i'll wet-finger to 3 for Dhundan and Yi Norm, 2 for Ai regarding individual characters; High success can offer the choice about avoiding someone getting hurt or better loot
Rolled 42 (1d100)>>6299503I feel obligated to roll for Feken Doshi!
>>6299528Well at least she lives up to the name.
Rolled 19 (1d100)>>6299503Quiet word.

>>6299589Well good thing someone beat me to rolling for her. That can be for Yi Norm then
Rolled 85, 88, 78 = 251 (3d100)>>6299503Tau Ryel, Nettle, and Ji Lu. In that order, and if this is allowed.

So it looks like Dhundan's group is getting thoroughly MOGGEDGood thing you know an healing art and have a full receptacle.I'll take 1 more d100 for QW first attempt at Battle Healing. Who do you priorize between Wang Zi and Kui Ting?
>>6300452I'm not rolling that shit but heal up WangI can feel the 20 just waiting for me to roll
Rolled 17 (1d100)>>6300452Wang ZiGuess I'll bite the bullet
>>6300482and that's a fail.
>>6300452Wouldn't this be his second attempt at battle healing? He did his first with YanEr at the ruins
Rolled 40 (1d100)>>6300452Let's see if the dice prefer we heal Kui Ting
>>6300641discarded.I'm not waiting for more input or anything. Lack of updates is just bad time managing. >>6300537You're right.
You sort the kids into three teams, distribute your few beads and flares, and let them go. Of course, Yi Norm, Ai and Dhundan complained plently about not being the one in charge of their mutual group. You manage not to get angry at them while you slowly and deliberately they will be too busy to coerce beasts at the first hint of danger to take care of ordering around the younger one at the same time. Then, you wait.Not much, as the first twin flares comes straight in front of you - from Tau Ryel's group, where Ai managed to get some Cat-Spear-Compass thing to sit on her lap. You hum the words of power when the next flares pop. What follows is the most excruciating Transplanhumance so far : not a second of rest, rushing around while pouring your Qi in the Horse Spirit, then incanting the Restraining Formation, delegate one of the kid to coral it back to the backlines, pick one of the previous herder back to bring to its team while not ignoring the other flares.Is it even worth it? At the low cost of two beads, your group made 8 catches...>Tau Ryel (3KW) Deer Mental Shadow-Rainbow>Nettle (3KW) Ape Spiritual Resistance Dream Obsidian [Obsidian Dream-Guard Ape]>Ji Lu (3KW) Lobster Astral Self Gold Gravity>Nu Shou Crab Hookshot Soul >Snowflake Tiger Censer Soul >Ai Cat Spear Compass >Watchful River (bead) Squid Blossom Needle>Sheng Seng (bead) Mouse Rock FlailBut a grim event marked the day. Two orphan flares. From opposite direction. You picked one - Wang Zi is laying down, bleeding out.>Crimson Tides : DC 50 in battle-contextYou shake. Spin your Qi. Send the life-saving technique. >+5 from Phoenix + 10 from Bloodstore + 5 from Meteor-Hammer + 4 from the Banner + 8 from Power Diff...Blood gash out of your treasured Hemomancer Profound Bloodstore. Your Qi, bearing the mark of the Rising Phoenix, empower it further - in a feedback loop with both your Jade Rising Star Phoenix and your Quiet Banner.Wounds mend, close, skin grow anew. However, the paleness remains. >Rolled 17 for a DC of 18 : Failure.You have the awful, awful feeling of being late. And dramatically, not very late : just in time to be properly late, to miss the window of opportunity by an hair.>Kui Ting and Wang Zi will suffer a set back from today.You feel conflicted : it is certain the other one benefitted from the day. Was it worth it?
>Kid Improvement minigame!Some of your kids got gets and I'd prefer those advancements to be some collaborative storytelling.Here are concerned kids and their current "sheet">"Sheng Seng" girl, Pangolin, Ape, Elephant, Dream, Jade Theme : Saint-Monk buddhist-adjacent.

For Tau Ryel, I plan to organise a trade of her current spirit with one of Boyd's GETS - letting them both perform a fusion.A/N : Tried really hard to squeeze that update for you.
>>6302108appreciated. Now we shall crack our knuckles and gfet down to it.
>>6302125GETS is encouraged to be a technique, trump, skill. It can also be a headstart regarding the raw cultivation...
>>6302107as the maker of Ji Lu, I think It'd be really funny to give her a Goose Swordwhip style.So mid-fight, had a mild revelation about how she is trying to handle a creature with more armour than she was used to, and in the moment realised that she must annoy an enemy to death.The goose whip-sword is a bitch and a half to fight because it's weird and aggressive, and more often than not whenever you try to take a step to begin the offensive action, it's already attacking from a dead angle.As a goose fights, so to does the sword whip get up in your face with intimidation and threats against your personage.Watchful river I think should just get a Raw boost to her cultivation. She doesn't need much else at the moment.
When I made her River's theme was 'water dragon'. The two dragoniest animals I could think of was Cat+Snake. Water dragons are also traditionally keepers of a magic pearl. Therefore, I think that she could use some sort of pearl snake. A water pearl snake would be an off-brand water dragon anyway. Astral comes in handy for a dragon as well.
>>6302203I bend to makers wishes.Hmmm. I feel like Nettle should get some sort of body transformation deal. There was an old quest on here where a bloodline inheretence gave the cultivator massive antlers and digigrade legs, made for better movement and qi control.Maybe he can figure out body shifting for movement?
>>6302107"Snowflake", "Cold Gaze"With a nickname like that I want to give him a literal cold gaze, slowly being able to freeze things by looking at them
>>6302341that seems like an appropriate Innate Eye Skill indeed.>>6302142I can definitely cook something fit to her>>6302203Or you could go Dhundan's way, and handcraft your own dragon by so-stupid-it-circles-back-to-clever way
I guess I see Dhundan's force as armor + rage. River's would be stealth/grace + wisdom. The riddle-dragon who watches you from beneath the waves or through their magic pearl and challenges your morality. The protector of the sacred lake sort of deal.
>>6302107so we still need feken doshi and Sheng Sheng.I feel like there's something to be done with the fact she caught a rock type, and she's budhist. those two things just go together.For Feken Doshi I think we should give her some kind of "drain HP to increase damage, regain HP when dealing damage" type martial art.It's basic but it's on theme. Unless someone else can figure out a bit of "circle of life" themed shit?
>>6302509For Feken Doshi, she have access to Blood + Life, meaning this exact combo could work
>>6302105>>6302469>For Sheng - An Elephant Never Forgets - Perfect memory. Not forgetting techniques should help her train. >For Feken Doshi - The Blood Tax - Nothing is certain but death and taxes. Why not combine them? An art which steals the target's blood to power Feken Doshi's blood arts or fill her blood reserve.
>>6302129For shang if I remember right is elephant girl. I got an idea that for each stomp sends a shockwave in the ground shifting the area around her. Can eventually turn into a spiritual art.Shifting Earth toppling mountains and if could get throw on growth. Could delay once we send the gaggle of children to the growth realm once more. As besides breaking through next turn. We check on the injure and heal them again. Also do all the bindings that need to be done.Lastly I say we let Ai keep the cat as a pet.
>>6302600Another note sell 1-2 spirits for growth materials and take the growth charcoal and send the kids the growth realm once more. A to pay off the debts to the kids and B. Ask Ai dun and Yi norm if they want tea payment or a spirit. For the remaining spirits we go around and see if we can get some good spirits that match the affinity of anyone.I'd figure if any are worth binding however I can't sit at my computer. Because my ass hurts. Someone take up the torch.
>>6302615caught spirits are supposedly going to the sect against the martial arts and such GETS for the kids
>>6302624I don't see it mentioned. Also A team is learning that basic formation. And at least four of B team
>>6302628>I don't see it mentionedStill how it is - haven't found "nice" options for them to you or you kids anyway thus the "gets" minigame-character-creation.>Also A team is learning that basic formation. And at least four of B teamI don't see it mentionned
>>6302632Oh see for the first one. Does that mean no profit?But the second is my opinion that word tells the group that hey you guys need to learn at least the capturing formation.
>>6302650Well, empowering the sect and kids are some form of profits - all that expect QW according to his moral compass anyway
I'll try to update tonight.Conditions : >Your input about the breakthrough-split>More ideas regarding kids (in particular, Sheng Seng, can work with the rest)
>>630305835 and 44.We know 44 is the answer. We tried 33 last time and it failed. Let's try +2.Hmm. Maybe Buddhist elephant can dream of their previous lives?
>>6303058>>6303135 I suggest 37 and 44 instead, mainly for the mental impact that he needs to break through.Next time, use phoenix qi for finding this qi number. And doing testing on the first to layers instead of spending it on weaker gates.As for Sheng Seng Dreaming Elephant Technique - This technique allows the user to cultivate qi while sleeping. (aka power boost). Could enhance this so that she could practice her martial arts and qi arts laters without worrying about qi consumption.
>>6303160I like that one.So... Let's turn that into a proper technique. Meditation or Body tempering?
>>6303160>>6303176I'd consider this a meditation as it's a dream aspect as is.However, if it got the strength or body tag, it would be a body tempering, which honestly is more powerful imo.Of no strength tag then we call it a meditation.
>>6303160why 37?Pheonix Qi activated and pushed it to success on 33.44 is exactly right.so make it 35 and if it's still too short, we have 2 numbesr crossed off and still successful.37 being wrong cuts out 34, 35, 36 and 37 but if it's too much we are still left with . . . you know what, it's not that big an expenditure, just do it at 37.
>>6303250So lets math this out from the beginning we know thus.10 is not enough for the first gate. 20 wastes Qi.20 wastes more Qi for the second gate than it wastes for the first.33 is not enough for the third gate; it becomes enough with your Phoenix-Qi bonus, before the upgrade.44 is the "golden number" for the fourth gate.When we tried breaking through the first and 2nd gate we learned that The first 12% wasn't enoughThe second 14% was left over qi.Third 33% < needs more.Fourth 44% perfect.This all adds up to 103% over budget. I believe the 2nd gate is actually super weak. At 9% or lower. Cause 14%-3%-1% add to 1st and 1% add to 3rd= 9% or less for 2nd gate.If so, that would open up, in theory, 8% of qi if the 2nd gate was just 1% qi.So calculations would be for the proof with the least amount of tries would be to remove 4% from the 2nd gate and split 2% to each 1st and third gate until something hits. However if we go to 37% that leaves in theory 7% left for 2nd gate which removes 1% knocking it down to 6% at least to hit on Gate 1.i.e 2nd gate has to be weak compared to the other gates.The range would be thus.1st = 13-19%2nd = 1%-9%3rd = 34-42%4th = 44%If we waste qi on 37 that knocks off 5% in narrowing down, compared to knocking off only 2% if we go with 35%
Sorry.Tonight update is jeopardised.
>>6303295You convinced me. 37 it is.It's not like we risk a fail state.
>>6303176Meditation.Has disadvantage of not being able to use body training with it, because you're asleep.. . . sleep walking cultivation. Fuck
Bead have been given back; wondrous beasts have been handed to penmasters - and yourself commandeered to take care of one Sonic Jade Hawk, one more feathered arsehole to feed, groom and take care in the aviary. You can't help but feel Tau Ryel is conflicted.QW : "What's going on?TR : - So... I caught this awesome-looking rainbow Deer... There's a... quiet word... running that spirits can evolve, is that true?"Of course. Beast materialize. You train with other kids in the courtroom. You've fused quite a few beasts already. The rumor mill spins; and your secret discovery is leaking. At least, there is no contact with the branches with that travel ban...On one hand, this is definitely unfusable to Tau Ryel's current spirit.On the other, this can be a perfect opportunity.QW : "Take this bead... Good. Now, give.TR : - Bu.. bu... but!QW : Thanks. Now, wait here."You beeline toward elder brother Boyd.Boyd : "Oh, hi. I'm glad to see you... Wait, tell me - have you heard of the rumor about beast fusion?QW : - Is this about your TwinBlade-antlered Stormwood Deer? The one Wei Ball traded to Yi Chen that you got in turn?Boyd : - Yeah, promised the lad I'll tutor him for Chakram wielding for it... QW : - Can you show your current deer?"In for a coin, in for the whole rope : Boyd's Deer exhude Mental energy and strong pressure - Gravity?QW : "Bad news : the Storwood Deer is unfusable to your current spirit - unless you want some heavy soullash which I first-hand NOT RECOMMAND. Good news : I have a bead in my hand with a suitable one. Mental too, that will add Shadow and some Rainbow I don't know well"Boyd : - You sly little... Making me trade twice to get the most value out of my lowly endowed self!"You WILL trade that spirit.>Trade for free with Boyd>Scam him out of his giant stormwood leftover pieces and scrap - useful materials for fusions and soulbind!>Scam him out of learn-to-fly private wings-flight tutoring!
After arranging with the various Masters that the other kids will get their dutiful rewards, you retire and start playing with your Qi. In the end, Transplanhumance itself took almost no time - the timing was quite happy. In the safe haven of your Immortal Cave, Qi is spinned and pushed toward the inner walls.First, you set aside two precise parts, precision allowed by your fine Qi control - one of 37%, a second of 44%Qi is gathered, Qi is slammed to the first gate - gate that yield without requiring your precious Phoenix Qi; with a good few of Leftover Qi. Then, the precise amount set aside let you tear exactly at the last barrier without any waste or missing energy.A smile on your face, you delve in the pleasure of the energy surge as your wondrous channels feels unrestricted with the new power from inside your mystical forge, and eying carefully the remaining Qi.Remaining Qi which wanes drastically. Of the 19% leftover, it shrink and shrug into a mere twentieth, and falling down, stabilising at one low Fiftieth... No, bar that. It even evaporates some more, falling to a meager 1%.It's always that less to accumulate in the hard early-stage, but you still feel outerly SCAMMED.The rest of the couple of week is spent meditating and stabilizing yourself. Now, you are ready to get back in the world - however, your eyes linger and fall on your supply of Seclusion pills - it'll be a shame to grow out of their potency and having to throw them, or give it away, right?>Continue a session of closed-door cultivation for one month [You can pick 2 body foundation and 2 meditations for 2 turn with favored odds of breakthrough behind the screen, doubles Qi accumulation]>Get back to the world, you have things to do.
>>6303567>Scam him out of learn-to-fly private wings-flight tutoring!Continue a session of closed-door cultivation for one month [You can pick 2 body foundation and 2 meditations for 2 turn with favored odds of breakthrough behind the screen, doubles Qi accumulation]>Body [Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet] [Pills available]>Body [Wolf Jade's Body] [Pills available]>Meditation [Way of the Spiritual Beast Boundfighter Wanderer] [Pills available]>Meditation [Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial] [Pills available]
>>6303567I swear we already got lessons out of him for this.Yeah, right up here>>6272570Don't try and get out of it Boyd ya big shit.>Scam him for his stormwood.>>6303568>Stay in seclusion>Magnus Bodyx2>World wanderer.Guys, if these break through we can resolve a few more debts for people who want to planes walk.
>>6303597Well caught, you're not the sect's only wheeler dealer and it was an attempt to "punish" dealing with so many things at the same time
>>6303568Qm question if Tau Ryel hasn't gotten a reward I was thinking she'd get that one pill the Word got long ago to advance really fast. And for Quite Word to offer her closed door cultivation to teach her all he knows about Astral cultivation. Borrow the book back from Ai for that time,but I remember we have high mastery so we don't really need it.
>>6303601Her reward was planned to be "trade her unmergeable spirit for a fusable one"
>>6303601Tau is getting this Twinblade storm-deer that we are currently bartering for on their behalf.We are exacting value as the middle man.as I understand this.>>6303573REMINDER, THAT WE ALREADY HAVE THE LESSONS.>WE SCAM THEM, DONT LET THEM SCAM US
>>6303568So just as a thing to consider.Our energy drops by about a factor of 5 when breaking through. This means there is zero possible benefit to waiting for breakthrough once we have sufficient power.1st = 13-19%2nd = 1%-9%3rd = 35-36%4th = 44%We're going to figure out the 3rd gate next time. My money is 36, so that makes out last to gates cost 80% of our energy.
>>6303597>>6303606Okay makes sense, Then we'll scam him of his wood I guess and that'll be a good material for Wei Balls Weapon and shield.Growth, Metal, Storm, Lightning: It goes pretty hard just for these four elements. You could throw on a Phenoix feather for a myth word. For sixth, it could be whatever. If we got any favor from the sect for all those trades, I'd ask for Seclusion pills for Tau Ryel so that we could teach her meditation and allow her to use her cloak as she'll solve the bead problem making the sect self-sufficient will be the greatest achievement Word has done.
>>6303609No, fuck it said "a good few left over".make that 34, since a few is about 3
>>6303610storm is a myth word that contains lightning.teaching Tau to free up our need to find the beads is a good one.It will reduce our importance slightly, but for the good of the sect.And are you gonna vote on the vote?
>>6303609From last thread :Sitting crossed-leg, it's time to experiment with your Qi. Using your fine Control, you spin a eigth of a dantian (12%) to smash the gate. Your True Qi ram in the gate - it's not enough... As your preciously stockpiled energy dissipate, splinters of True-Qi threads gather...>Improved Phoenix Qi... To from your Qi construct, more potent than last time - potent enough to smash through the gate. A bit surprised, you hurl 14% on the second gate - and that's enough. Sure, there's leftover Qi; however this partial breakthrough went as well as you could expect.
>>6303614using the halfing method, we should be trying to hit 16 on the first gate.I'm still not convinced the percentage adds up to 100.gate 2 hit with 10. We are dealing with such small numbers that we can afford to be granular.
>>6303613Right isn't Metal a mythical word as well? might as go all out and throw on like... Growth and at least three mythical words. haha.Oh. Right. Time table on those fertility pills?
>>6303623When the good doctor is finished, he'll mail them to us.As a side note, We should make sure that no word of those pills gets breathed in YanEr's direction. She got mad enough from us talking to another woman.and Metal IS a keyword, yes. . .Haaaaaaaahahahahaha these are such broken fucking tools.Just remember we need to make sure these mythic word items have extra keywords that we can key off of.
>>6303622I figure 14 as 44+13+34 =91Meaning if we raise to 14 and 35 it'll = to 93Leaving 7 leftover for 2nd gate.But we got this nugget in the update. >good few of Leftover Qi.Meaning give or take 34-35% 50-50 on it so we can remove 36So more like idk thus. 1st = 14-19%2nd = 1%-7%3rd = 35-36%4th = 44%Which is the idea of knowing this for the next breakthrough we'll do it in one go. Hopefully.1st 16% > 4% + phoenix qi > use 35% for third and 44% for 4th.Then next time the third shall be solved, and 1st will be a 50/50, and 2nd idk shit.
>>6273952So he has stormiron ingot which is Steel, Growth, Thunder. we have Stormwood, which is Storm and Wood.To bind these things we need something with both Wood and Thunder together without using more stormwood.Why?Because binding these two words leaves you with Steel, Growth, Storm axe/shield which perfectly fits his affinities and bonded creature.
>>6303622>Using the Halfling method, you should get lucky
>>6303631Yah base is Storm, Steel or Mteal, GrowthBind off of growth branch of wood and take one keyword.Branch off wood and take stormBranch off Growth again and add a phoenix feather for.Growth, Phoenix, Metal or steel(forget), Storm, Growth tree branch word(Now that tree has improved that means more keyword choice? question mark?) With the 6th(and 5th if we don't like branch options) open.
>>6303636Branch have those keywords :Spiritual Plant, Growth, Space, Astral SelfYou can pluck one and it comes back at the 10th month. It can either be used as Growth realm-visit material or ingredient - and bind with the Wei Balls ingots of Stormiron [Steel, Growth, Thunder]
>>6303635fuck, That's not funny. I'll stop laughing in a minute but that's not funny!>>6303636Wei ball better have a real fuckin' good return on investment if we are investing 2 personal items of intense value and then a third we can really use.world tree branch- Growth, Astral Self, Space, Spiritual PlantStormwood- Storm, Woodstormiron ingot which is Steel, Growth, Thunder.Rising feather - Growth Pheonix.We can't bridge off Growth, that would not make the resulting paired weapons growth weapons.We want to go Thunder bridge into storm, bride Wood to spiritual plant, take Astral self, which makes the weaponSteel, Growth, Astral self
>>6303645As core material branching doesn't remove said item tag unless you want to. (trust me I did the mini game)
>>6303645>>6303649I'm thoroughly Entertained of seeing you guys sperging out the chess-accountant thing wildly unprompted.
>>6303649Oh it doesn't? Brother chess-accountant is that you?Well if that's true, that makes it Bind growth to branch to get astral self, branch off plant to wood, for storm, double bridge growth for phoenix, which isSteel, Growth, Thunder, Astral self, Storm, Pheonix.I'm not sure we need Pheonix in there if I'm being honest. Isn't that gonna increase the cost of working it by a significant amount?
>>6303653HAS TO BE DONE SOME TIME, IS IT GONNA BE ANY LESS CONFUSING IN 4 DAYS HUH?! HUH?!?!?!But this is like 2 myth words and a mega quality in growth. that's gonna run us a fair amount of dosh.Is that a fair assumption QM?
>>6303656Yah it's me. I weeped so you guys may run.
>>6303660if it helps, it's easily one of the best parts of /qst/ I've seen in months.It's rare you get to watch someone go lovecraftian crazy in real time.
>>6303661It was faymood ran on rage and spite(Mostly spite from middle to end). I'd post then sleep thinkin, "yah that was a good plan." Then get bitch slapped. Do it again, sleep. Wake up, get bitch slapped once more.Then hit post nut clarity at the end as if I hit 200iq. Then, nut nut-punched when someone had already made a better plan.Goodtimes.jpegWould do it again.
>>6303662As a QM, I thrive to live this moments.>>6303656Well, I think you might fare better. What good is Phoenix for someone without Phoenix affinity? Thunder will be eaten by Storm anyway (and can be used as branch)You can surely snipe some stormwood component in shopping spree?Anyway, finished yesterday the wallpaper for the baby's chamber which freed quite a bit of mental space and I think it shows
>>6303670Then yeah, Honestly don't bother with the feather.He has no right to complain about only getting 4 really good, tailored keywords for his shit.
>>6303606>>6303597>>6303573Changing from Flying lessons to>Scam him for his stormwood.
>>6303670>>6303677Could exchange a feather for like Metal boar material at the merch guild or maybe in the sect Treasury.
>>6303690We could. . My concern here is on the value return.The product as outlined is good. Damn good even. Do we need to put it all in on there?What are we getting out in turn.
>>6303691A strong junior/underling and worthy tank when we go dungeon walking. If we fuck off and make a new sect since if you look at it objectively we don't really need anything from the higher tier sect latter's other then safety and resources. Tau Ryel for example will carry the sect to make it a 10000 beast school. Also Wei Ball matches with Royta and would no doubt learn directly under him someone whose close to reaching stage 5 powerhouse.Also he won the last tournament what if he does it again? The juniors power up even more and we benefits from them making us look good.
>>6303694I think rota IS 5th stage but I may be wrong.Hmm. Feels like overpaying for diminished returns, since Wei doesn't sound like he has much in the way of reciprocal spirit.
>>6303708Ryota is high-fourth stage. Would not require much more to trigger attempt of 5th stage
>>6303943Yah with how much tea invested into him. I was also wondering if he'd do a spirit fusion beforehand.
>>6303653I enjoyed the minigame, though I am still slightly salty that my superior suggestion was summarily squandered.

>>6304022Comrade!Aid me in picking the best methods for breakthrough!>>6303573Fellow disciple, Your choice of techniques is flawed and does not maximise benefit.We gain the most out of world walking.

>>6304444>>6304435may I ask why wolf jade body?Given it doesn't match beast bound fighter in key words or have a mythic key word to give us the big bucks?I will again remind you that strength of the spiritual Magnus has Astral keyword as well as intent keyword, so they will both grant more bonuses to the roll. Maximise chances of breakthrough with compatible techniques!Pheonix waltz is acceptable by its nature as a pheonix technique but come on!
>>6304443>Then I want a few extra bags Incase we enter the astral world to fill up on beads. Incase the door opens and we wanna pop in. We have to look the other world.
>>6304435>>6304457For jade wolf body my thought would be to combo the tags body and strength as those are connected to one another. If that isn't the case then I'd go with your vote. (I'm roaming btw)
>>6304459It used to be techniques trained in the same month but each turn used to be a month.So the answer is probably no.
>>6304458>Then I want a few extra bags Incase we enter the astral world to fill up on beads. Incase the door opens and we wanna pop in. We have to look the other world.Nice thinking out of the box. However, I'd say you don't have the bags under hand and getting out of your cave here and now to get some will count as "get back to the world".Seclusion require a certain mind set to get in, which can easily be broken.
>>6304475Can you throw us a bone and give us one bag that isn't a uniform or say we had a few sets of robes as this is his hidden cave?I'd figure Quite Word would do something like that with his scheming mindset as that was a problem before.
>>6304484Nice attempt; i'd still say "no" and will try to rememmber it in next shopping update
>>6304484We do have our shirts.
>>6304489Sorry guys tried my best. At least we have our own robe to use as a bag.>I've also had an idea to go around the sects and use the growth banner to drum up some cash for item creation/trade.

You can't let the opportunity go. Summon and plant the Quiet Banner. Popping pills, you sit and start meditating.Time slows while flowing in the strange state of secluded meditation. In an eternity, the blink of an eye, one week have passed.Using both your custom pills and your seclusion pills, you chain body practice and meditations.The first effect is obvious : you accumulated one full tenth of dantian. The second effect is good progress on your channels. Then, a double wave of insight strike.>Secret self of the Juggernaut Magus Breakthrough!Chose among>Spellmight - burn your Qi to bolster your strength.

>>6305169>>6305187If that ten roll affects bead gathering then I'll switch what my roll does for gathering beads. If you'd allow it. For pity sake.
The answer is obvious : the Astral realm, to go hunt for beads, maybe luck into a nice technique. You grab the tied-legged-trousers, and go walk to the other side.That's when you hear a rumble.>Perks of using the Wandering effect of your Meditation in the Wandering World TreeThe walking tree itself seems to follow. You feel the roots and brench slither like snake-shaped tendrils, creeping between worlds. Definitely weird and offputting.A few beads litter the floor.>Obtained 10 Spiritual beadsNow, you simply have to walk outside. There's something quite odd, seeing your tree-base-garden all blue, and see-through (which wasn't when inside. And you can't see inside, but the outside of other side. Offputting.)Something feels immediately strange : due to your current Seclusion State, there is some soul-pullback going on, shortening your current trip. An even better reason to search the most beads as fast as possible - bring them to the sect, make Ryota proud, lift the weight preventing captures..There are only a see of Astrad blades of grass - and they're not even pluckable. The terrain seems smoothed, without fauna or flora expected. Why? Why could you scoop handful and handful of beads back at the sect and only a minor few here? You feel confused.You search, and search some more. Alas, the opportunity seems wasted, without anything more than the handful of beads to bring back.You resign, walk back to your cave, and start meditating again. The Wandering World tree is pulled back to the main world - no, something's not quite like before.Using your Spirit Plant Qi-Touch, you feel a good few of its roots feels like they're in the Astral realm. Some kinds of Anchors, maybe easying a next trip there?Anyway, you cut the distractions as you feel you won't get anything more of this opportunity barring regrets, and get back in your meditative state.Another week pass by, another tenth of your Dantian gets filled. And by the end of it, you're striken by insights - again. >Way of the Spiritual Beast Boundfighter Wanderer Breakthrough!Chose among>Technique Advancement : create a new technique based on this one.

Sticking the flag can't be done to Astral realm as it's not a door but the corridor itself holding the various doors. Wrote it there...>You feel stucking your banner in the frame would be a waste of your seclusion time.

After much focus on the tree - and its lone root somehow crossing the way between realms, your will impress changes in the tree structure itself.The root gorge itself on raw energy of the Astral plane, glowing in the unique blue hue you often picture as Qi's true color.

>>6306390Cunning, soul and army are my top picks but making Sun actually worth a damn is a serious consideration. Because the hammer style is a powerful one that we just couldn't get past due to poor affinity
>>6306390>>6306394Top Tier Picks - Strength, Sun, Wisdom, Soul, Spirit.Strength to remove our limiter from our op strength body cultivation.Sun to be able to use our Sun meteor hammer skill, and it makes sense if we go the three-legged phoenix legend. (I know it's crow.Wisdom as we have cunnin already.Soul passively increasing our soul strength will be great for various things.And spirit for various things we're working on, and maybe helping bypass our spiritual strength limiter.
>>6306381I'll allow Quiet Word with Quiet + half a character coming from Proclaiming not sure what it'll do but it'll be funny
>>6306583"Funny" things we've got going.Give all our starting animals storm.Put our name in our understanding of a mythicanyone remember anything else? I don't think it'd improve on bullshit affinity but. . hey, it might.
There are plenty of things like becoming a shapeshifter.I had an idea for our Elephant Monkey girl though. Memory of an Elephant to memorize the techniques of others. Monkey mimicry to copy them. Steal and adapt any techniques she wants. Develop a fluid, adaptive martial arts style to shift from one mode to another rather than train them all individually. A superior Wildcard.
>>6307251Isn't that Dhundan's shtich?And also a mirror fighter is kinda ass since you need to be able to use unfamiliar methods to better effect than people trained in it.
You don't use someone's own technique against them. You choose an appropriate counter from your library of stolen techniques or a technique which suits the battlefield. Plus, since it's watching based rather than fighting based you can pick up a lot of options without fighting for them.
>>6307257Honestly gay and boring.There's no strategy nor skill to be gained there, or drawback to plan around, and would produce a worse wildcard than Man Din, because she trains her multifaceted library of skills herself.

Also, some faggots in /qtg/ convinced me to run some shitpost concept>>>6307600
>>6307517>Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet (Phoenix + Space + Dance + Growth) Breakthrough! Chose among :>Write-in Dancing Flames of the Phoenix - A martial art used with your other martial arts. A sort of glue to shift from one combat style to another. While spreading flames of the phoenix where you step. Future upgrades could include imbuing the flames with elements such as ichor and poison. And A combo upgrade I think of controlling said flames with our genius qi control and Complete Secret self of the Juggernaut Magus
>>6307619So turning a foundation in a martial art is doable - but it won't be a foundation any more
>>6307621How about we roll this into the Phoenix Qi art that we were going to create from a crit awhile ago? But haven't gotten around to yet.
>>6307628Improving your Phoenix Spiritual art is a valid write-in : for exemple you can copy thé dance keyword to turn the art in Aoe style
>>6307629I'm willing to cede fire dance to Improve our personal art.I'm not sure what it will do yet, but AOE is a current failing of ours.
>>6307629Then yah I'm down for that. Then sounds good and we'll be able to fling it then when we break through on magus.And for the poem, I'll go for adding another verse. Thinkin after adding name (whatever that adds) We fold in Sun
>>6307517>Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet (Phoenix + Space + Dance + Growth) Breakthrough! Technique Advancement. Add Dance to Phoenix Spiritual art>Poem of the Rising Phoenix (Phoenix, Growth, Caligraphy) breakthrough!Rising Phoenix, growing legend : Edit the Poem to add 4 verses about one of your past prowess
Wait.I sleeped on it. And I'm stupid.By adding "Dance" in Phoenix last time, you already turned your spiritual art in AOE.So you "can" use that to improve the number of keywords, but that exact one is a bit of a waste.However, as you guys double-picked Phoenix, I can open a bit of "creativity" in your spiritual art choice.>Current keywords of Spiritual art : Phoenix, Spiritual Strength>You can ADD any mundane keyword or any bounded phoenix keyword to the style Current phoenix : (Growth, Shrewd, Phoenix, Dagger, Storm, Wood)
>>6307793Is Strom considered mundane in this? As I remember, that was considered a mythical Keyword.If yes, then yeah that, but if not then hmmm (checks affinity list).((I'd add growth but I know that's off the table)Genius Tier - Wolf, Horse, Meteor-Hammer, Pheonix, Ichor, Dance(Eaten by Phoenix (Around here no idea if genious or greater): Truefire and MetalGreater skills and affinities - Hawk, Snake, Spiritual Strength, Astral Self, Social, Strategy, Unarmed fighting, Spear, Halberd, Shadow, Gold, Beasts, Poison, Earth, Wind.Good - Fire, Bow, Saber, Jade, Wood, Mist, Space,Bad - Blood(Eaten by Phoenix), Pain? (No bottleneck so far might actually be at good or greater) , Water, Darkness, Sun, Swimming, Illusion, Plant, Liquid, Oroborous, Dance(Eaten by Phoenix)Then we got the list from a poem, we don't know how well they mesh, but it doesn't matter much as we can fuse to Pheniox.For a mundane word? I'd slam Wind, simple greater affinity, expand the aoe, and we could add lightning and fuse for storm. >So I choose wind.Next let's consider what Word needs in his kit and ironically it really just aoe.Attack(Check), Defense(Passive check), Defense(Active not check), Healing(check), Movement(check), CQC (Check), Mid Range(check) Far Range(check), Buff(check), Aoe(Nay) So what do we want out of this aoe? Defensive? Slow? Attack?With Phoenix and it's tags already added
>>6307807Storm is not mundane.However, it is "any bounded phoenix keyword" (as is Growth)Growth have no affinity but it turns "Bullshit exponential-rising power level" on
>>6307793Growth is a trap option because we lack any trueborn qi left.Or is it different because we are creating this from us personally?>>6307814>Oh it doesGROWTH IT IS personal creation seems the way to go
>>6307833AkchuallyGrowth is a "broken" keyword, you are quite attuned to.I won't allow you to slap growth on anything else than Phoenix due to your hoard of "Growth + Phoenix" combo. This will effectively strengthen your Phoenix keyword both Naratically and mechanically, turning "Phoenix" into "Rising Phoenix" (for the instances you don't have the growth keyword on skills, all the future phoenix related skills.
>>6307793>Growth
>>6307836Oh Noooes, we can only put the exponential bullshit word on our strongest and most dedicated/reenforced word which we spent a lot of time continuing to strengthentruly the heavens are cruel and suppressing us greatly. Really, look at how suppressed we are, no I'm not laughing maniacally
>>6307807>>6307814>>6307844> Change to Growth
>>6307906fuckcan't even argue. Growth has been the defining element of our journey thus far, with the Pheonix only now joining it
>>6307906>Quite word
>>6307906Alright; that's your vote for second breakthrough.What's your vote for first breakthrough?
>>6307925We were thinking adding verses right?
>>6307942yeah, add the verses so we can add our names, then next breakthrough we can add our names to Pheonix.What will this do? Apparently "something funny".But it can't be that bad an idea
>>6307942>>6307956On one hand, this was not among the options of first breakthrough.On the other, Id give that with the leniency of double-breakthrough during seclusion.
>>6307980UhhhhIt's on the second breakthrough?The rising pheonix, growing legend?
>>6308003By which to say;The vote seems to be add growth to the spirit art.And add verses to the poem
>>6308004yeah i thought you guys wanted to slap growth on phoenix
>>6308006. . . . Hmmmmm.That is pretty fucking good. That's really fucking good.To make all the Pheonix skills have growth innately. And rising Pheonix is one of our names, even if it isn't inherent into the meaning itself.And this would cost us using the poem breakthrough?
>>6308006I mean, if that's how it makes sense, then yeah go through the poem and fuse it with phoenix.Then, for the first one we add to the phoenix spiritual art the strom tag. If I read this correctly.
>>6308006I personally am fully for that.
So there's kinda a lot of back and forth...+1 this if "Storm to spiritual Art/Growth to Phoenix" is ok for you
>>6308235+1
>>6308265we do also need to practice some other new tactic with the storm keyword. We haven't trained it at all.
>>6308236>>6308265>>6308313>>6308358>>6308324Here's you guys new thread>>>6308335
