We'll have to be sure to unequip AE and equip FSS for the dragon fight. AE only works for wounds, which we aren't allowed to deal, FSS's SEA is effective in an attrition battle. Unfortunately we don't have the meridians to get PLR in there, but it's not great against a 3rd realm yet anyway.

SEA last 6 turns, and give us 1Qi or so when we dodge. It cost us 1qi to put in and one full action. This means that in the best case scenario it gives us 5Qi over 5 turns for the price of one action, but more likely it will give us 1-2Qi.
What we must do, instead, is make sure we have bought the Qi regain elixirs.

Considering the results of our 'friendly practice' against GG's troops, I wonder if we can traumatise our ~20+ group enough that next year has to clear out 'fear of Ling Qi' wraiths?

We do not have much choice, I think.
We already stole from him once, and he would be insufferable and probably demand a large tribute each time we were to see him.
We have limited actions and resources - losing here would be more benefitical, in my opinion, than supplicating and have a persistent resource drain.

Depends if Despair of the lost counts as a spiritual attack. SEA autohits giving a spiritual defence debuff. If despair is a spirtual attack it's worth it for the debuff, the qi regen is just a nice bonus.

"The mist, the mist, it's everywhere, I can't get out..."
"The monsters, they're going to get me, aah!"
"I can still hear the music, that damn flute won't stop, why won't it stop..."
"Oh damnit! No one's gonna see how awesome I am in this fucking mist! This is not what I signed up for!"
+2 to spiritual offense, -3 to his spiritual defense, and 5 qi over 5 turns, vs some perception buffs if the dragon isn't in the river? Seems like a good deal to me.

Definitely the wrong Zhengui tutor for that. Doesn't mean we can find one, though. Maybe we can get Inner Sect tutoring for him? I bet there's a Wood-aligned cultivator who could help with the Gui side of things hanging around.

Alright, I'm going to try and dissect what might happen at the tournament finale, now that we know some more details of how it will be structured.
So, the way it is structured, and how many people we know are top-level competitors, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to be in a group without at least one top-level opponent or ally. If competitors are seeded, which I suspect they are, then we can assume that the Elders won't group 3 or 4 top combatants into a single group leaving other groups sparse.
That being said, the ideal grouping, I think for us, would be having Meizhen and us against either Ji Rong or Kang. That would mean we could crush a major competitor and deny him access to the elimination rounds before they even begun. Not going to happen, but I can dream.
Since we are likely going to only have one other major competitor in our grouping, if any at all, the next most favorable would be, in my opinion, having a major opponent rather than an ally in our group. Someone like Ji Rong, Kang, Chu Song, rather than having Cai, Bai, or Xiulan. The reasoning is simple, as a person with a ton of support capabilities, it would be better to leverage those capabilities against our foes in settings that favor us before the elimination round.
Having 3 or 4 mooks on our side as we take down a person like Ji Rong will go along way to securing our stability in the elimination round, for if we secure a mook as our second in the group stage, that mook doesn't pose nearly as much of a threat as a person of Ji Rong's caliber.
So rather than siding with an ally in the group stage, I would rather take on a strong opponent and beat them with our support arts so that we don't have to deal with them in the elimination round. Of course, that might not be the case as we could get sprung with an ally rather than an enemy.

I think we are dodgy enough and we have pretty good stealth.
Also, I would like to read the about the dragon seeking us in a few years down the line.

I wouldn't assume that the groupings are fair, since the early rounds are about eliminating lots of lower tier opponents. It's for wiping out hundreds of scrubs. Like, they might have lessons to teach with the earlier rounds, but that's not the same thing.
That is to say, I wouldn't be surprised if Meizhen and Liling are shoved in a first round team to teach a lesson about working with enemies for the greater good, I would be shocked if Meizhen and Liling are allowed to fight in the first round, because neither of them should be eliminated in an early round.

Square up dragon. We're goin for a ride.
I'd rather hit this from the domineering side originally, and the good thing is that if we lose we can always challenge again like a snot nosed shounen kid that never gives up.
Shoot for the top and if we get screwed up then hey, at least Ling Qi will have a decent reason backing up her supplication attempts instead of just suppressing her true nature and being annoyed all the time.
As a side bonus, this is GREAT training.
