[x] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Zhengui and Heizui could use a bit of extra attention to be sure that their interactions don't get unhealthy
[X] Tag along to make sure Zhengui and Hanyi get along the next time they play

I want to spend more time with Hanyi now that we have hints that She may leave the sect with us.

No huge opinions on the training plan yet, I trust the math people to be able to figure out how best to optimize them.
 
Most people frankly don't care what we train. They just check the Minors to begin with

To be fair the differences between the leading plans are almost entirely of the form of juggling different trainings to different people. I think if there was a disagreement about Arts more people would care, but it's an SLP week so it's extremely constrained.
 
Oh, also I don't like getting tutoring on a meridian. If we needed help, that would be one thing, but we don't. So it feels like wasting their time.

I continue to think that FVM/AE is a great tutoring combo, and as far as I can tell the only reason people are doing FVM/Meridian is to try to avoid getting a darkness tutor in the hope of getting Ruan Shen again for music.

[X] Plan Music & Darkness Tutors SLP Weeks

It is very nice to see Su Ling and the Ma sisters going off to get spirit beasts. I have always thought that we should expect the vast majority of cultivators to try to pick one up by the time of the tournament, so seeing people that definitely are not the cream of the crop going off to pick themselves up some spirits makes me feel just a bit vindicated.
 
Right, let's see the training plans and their differences.
[] Plan Music & Darkness Tutors SLP Weeks
From what I can see, it does:
- Train AE with Su Ling as she is the best peer partners for the worms.
- Has some SCS training with CRX for optimal dodge training.
- Has a music art for tutoring in each week, with SCS/FSS plausibly being more darkness combo than music.
- Finish FSS with Zeqing and FVM with Tutor.

@SynchronizedWritersBlock your second AE training with Su Ling and Lung Meridian with Xiulan in white room training disappears from the formatting as the tally doesn't grab identical sentences. So you need to change the wording ('second' lung meridian, same for Su Ling?)
[] Plan Light Dies when Shadows Rise
From what I can see:
- Double FVM/SCS with tutor for consistency.
- AE with Meizhen, meridians with Su Ling and CRX.
- Chose to forgo any training on FVM with zeqing to fully concentrate on FSS.

@Thor's Twin your formatting is completely broken because the tally doesn't accept repeat sentences. Half your actions disappeared.

[] Plan Music & Darkness Tutors SLP Weeks v2
From what I can see:
- First tutor is Darkness (SCS/AE), second is Music (FVM/Lung) with hope for Ruan Shen.
- Su Ling AE training as she is the best for worms.
- CRX with SCS for doooodge.
- Finishes FSS with Zeqing, FVM (hopefully) with Tutor.

No formatting error? what is this sorcery.

Anyway! I can't like any of the plans, for the simple reason that that FVM > FSS for finishing with Zeqing.... as we don't have the complete version of FVM. Zeqing as a spirit cannot learn 'normal' arts, so she only knows how to guide us toward FVM, she doesn't know the actual art. OTOH, she does know the actual art for FSS (as it's her own). As such, if we want the superior version of FVM, I think it's safer to finish it with her.

So, here is my plan.

[X] Plan Superior Snowy Serenades for Sempai
-[X] EPC Bonuses if any to PLR, Vent Drip to 2xAC, Overflow to qi, White Room with Xiulan
-[X] drugs:
-[X] 1st week pills:
--[X] use: SLP, GSS, (plus 3x virtual YSS)
--[X] buy, outer market: Sturdy Oak Pill (18), Qi Sea Pill (35), Heavy Rains Pill (15) = 68 rss
--[X] buy, inner market: 5-dice earth (10), 10-dice water (30), 10-dice dark (40), 10-dice music (40), 20-dice qi (60), 5-dice Meridian (25) = 205 rss
-[X] 2nd week pills:
--[X] same as first, only 10-dice meridian pills instead of 5 (60)
--[X] total for both weeks: 2x SLP, 2x gss, 581 rss

-[X] training:
-[X] 1st week cultivation:
--[X] Train Music arts with Zeqing: FSS
--[X] Train with Meizhen: Arm meridian
--[X] Train at the vent with Su Ling: AE
--[X] Cultivate with Cai Renxiang: SCS
--[X] Cultivate in the White Room: Leg Meridian
--[X] Tutor: FVM & Lung meridan, topics: Domain & Expression (ask for Ruan Shen if possible?)

-[X] 2nd week cultivation:
--[X] Train Music arts with Zeqing: FVM
--[X] Train with Meizhen: FSS
--[X] Train at the vent with Su Ling: Lung
--[X] Cultivate with Cai Renxiang: Leg meridian
--[X] Cultivate in the White Room: Head Meridian
--[X] Tutor: SCS & AE, topics: Domain and Spiritual defence (Or Domain/Occult if it fits more)

As you can see, I am trying to have continuity in the training, so Arm Meizhen => FSS Meizhen, SCS Rexiang => Leg Rexiang, AE Su Ling => Lung Su Ling.

I also really, really, really want to meet sempai Ruan Shen and show us how much we have improved (we were expression 3 back then iirc, and had no music meridians), so I am having the suboptimal FVM/Lung for tutoring to improve the chance of it happening (FVM7 is lung, and while we can't train it there is narrative theme for that combo).

Apart from that, as I mentioned, I think it's necessary to have FVM end with Zeqing for safety.

EDIT: Domain/Spiritual defence for SCS/AE because they both offer spiritual defence in their arts and should both be at green by then.

Very nearly went with the Hanyi and Zhengui option instead of LanLan, but I have faith that they can get along well enough. LanLan on other hand may need us. Although definitely going for more Hanyi minors in the future.

Depending on how talented Biyu ends up being when we test her, I wonder if we could come into an agreement to have Hanyi bind with Biyu. Our glorious imoutos can come together! Would take a lot to get snowmom to agree to it though, maybe even be impossible.
 
I also really, really, really want to meet sempai Ruan Shen and show us how much we have improved (we were expression 3 back then iirc, and had no music meridians), so I am having the suboptimal FVM/Lung for tutoring to improve the chance of it happening (FVM7 is lung, and while we can't train it there is narrative theme for that combo).
Alright. So. I was thinking. As Ark notes, doing meridian tutoring is totally sub-optimal, and doesn't really make sense IC since Ling Qi is doing fine.

The only real justification is her, well, wanting to see sempai again and not wanting to attract a darkness tutor instead. Sooooo... what I'm getting from this is Ling Qi's crush on sempai arc. Come on @yrsillar, make it happen :p

(no seriously, it would be amazing, and could have lots of potential to play with next year)

Hanyi is a little Tsundere for Zhengui. I just hope she doesn't give Zhengui the cold shoulder for ignoring her to fight some eel, then we would have a real ice queen on our hands.


I'll see my self out
You don't think she would let it go?
I agree with the whale, Hanyi seems the type to play it cool

Edit: No one want to learn fishing ? It's a most valuable skill.
Learn fishing ! Eat a good meal. See Meizhen !
IMHO, Zhengui will be fine with a few words. No need to helicopter!mom him ! After all, he has a fine exemple in Ling Qi
