I'm thinking Ten Sun birds to get our speed up a bit. It shouldn't conflict since it's based on a heavenly body moving through the sky.

I am getting the next level of UB for Cultivation, Whatever Doesn't Kill You for it's adaptation to threats as we should begin Hunting Beast for Combat Experience and adaptation to damage as the higher level we are, the harder it will be to get adaptations without the danger of dying.
Socializing for some character interaction as I like our clan.
Astral Body Forging for regen and it is most compatible with our Cultivation and synergies with UB.
Meditation for the breakthrough clearing and it's the second most compatible trait with our character.
1k Points remaining used for Cultivation Materials and it's remains stored for next turn or for emergencies.
Any suggestions?

since your plan calls for hunting, i would suggest grabbing:'standing above all beasts' at some point as well (maybe in the third month?), since hunting our own prey is what is required to advance that particular cultivation method, and would allow us to start stealing traits and powers from spirit beasts.

That seems like it would clash with most of our cultivation options.

Good point but I don't really...care about traits or powers of beasts of this stage.I mean we are in backward woods of backward woods in terms of place, like any ''true'' Xianxia
At least I think that's where we are.

Going with meditation because bottlenecks are the biggest challenge in cultivation
Hunting for more cores (and therefor more points)
Social because I think it's important to maintain our relationships.
Picking up SAAB to get more out of hunting
Unyielding for faster recovery time and to unlock Determined
Genius Body and Soul because XP boosts
Determined for even better stamina and recovery time
Purified Spirit Furnace mostly for the extra training die, but also because the suppression effect booster on weaker foes will be a great help if we ever get attacked by a horde of mooks
This leaves us with 1,700 points.

Just thought; but what about a technique that would allow us to temporarily shed extra density for a speed boost (with the speed increase growing with the amount of density shed)? Being able to screw defense for speed might come in handy at some point.
why, exactly?
indeed, we are in the middle of nowhere, in the grand scheme of things, and the beasts of this stage shouldn't be all that impressive, but i still feel the need to point out SAAB because it would still allow us to crib shit from spirit beasts even well into the divine realms and i feel that if we wait for the beasts to become actually impressive before we get the thing it will just end up sidelined and forgotten by some other cultivation method that seems even better at the time, besides, once we cap it out we don't need to worry about it and heck with it we would have the option of being an even cheekier little shit and bribe a cultivator of a higher rank to kill something for us so we can eat it.

Actually, I just thought of something; would we still be able to acquire traits from beasts even after caping SAAB?
***edit
Okay, it's been awhile since I made SAAB, so I forgot that acquiring new traits, and cultivation weren't done the same way (new traits is consuming animal matter, and cultivation is just hunting). So ignore this question.

Its kinda really hard to read or train or meditate while hunting dangerous beasts.

Let's get confirmation from QM; would the Meditation and Reading methods clash with cultivating Standing Above All Beasts?
The Froggy Ninja
The Blade Will Never Die
Yeah I got called away in the middle of formatting the arts. I'll fix both those things and keep chipping away at the backlog when I get home.
...I don't think we can cultivate Earth arts yet until we breakthrough. Mention has been made we would benefit from buying comprehension-boosting arts early since comprehension dictates training dice.
@Kolarthecool Do we need to buy the formation required to train Immortal Sage Awakening or is that included i n the coat of the manual?

I understand that cultivating may sounds (read?) boring to both the quest master and the readers, but going out while we only have two months left in this elite cultivation chamber must be the most stupid and laughable idea ever. All these lower ranked people in our clan wishing to use them, seeing we have one but decided to go out, socialize or even hunt? Here is what they will think :
''What a fucking waste of ressource and a shitty young master. A silversoon baby who cannot focus on cultivating for a few months in this incredible chamber but need to go out because he find it boring? Oh god, I wish I could kill the fucker.''

Guys we have a trait to increase our speed, it is under Dao of Soul, Speed Rank 1 for 3,000. That sets Speed at Min of Above Average
Exactly! Time to train some movement and fighting arts, get some nice traits and don't let anyone know we achieved that in one month. Way better to only go out after the three whole months, ffs.

I wonder what happens if one takes the history of an object instead of its density.

Once more walking the path of the catgirl.
I'd like to second the question of whether we can even use an Earth rank cultivation art (Like, how the hell does 'mortal', 'earth', etc match up to the body refinement/core formation/core ignition/ascendant mortal thing?) right now, or if we're still stuck with the Mortal ones.
In the latter case, I'd suggest either Golden Goose or Astral Body Forging for our next one, probably.
I'd tend to shy away from a rage art like Black Heaven and Earth.

I'd think grabbing both Unyielding and Determined would be good, since Determined sounds like it increases will hopefully increase cultivation even more. Genius Body/Genius Soul as well to further increase how fast we cultivate.
For cultivation, Greater Universal Body specifically mentions that you're taking primordial qi into your core, which I'm assuming we can't do seeing as we don't actually HAVE a qi core yet. So we should probably focus on lower level cultivation manuals for the moment.

i think golden goose would conflict with LUP because it would be trying to make us lighter

Heh. Silly mental image: Universal Body makes us denser.
Golden Goose makes us lighter.
As a result of using both, we end up getting smaller.

Hey, if we chose not to partake in an activity other than cultivation, then will we get a bonus to training, or is that just not allowed?
I consider these the basics of any plan, really. Then we need to choose a new manual (Ten Suns, Greater Universal Body...)
Other interesting choices, to spread out our capabilities with low, but efficient, skills :
Why another High Mortal movement skill when we already have one, you may ask? Well, this doesn't scream ''subtle''. Even going around in a forest using it would be fucking hilariously bad.
Also :
I would really like if we had something to help him. The only thing I can see right now is :
For the ''Special actions'', can't we just decide to train in a movement or offensive art instead of going out?
EDIT : In fact, screw it, I'm going to use this to make my own plan.
[X] Plan Training Montage Motherfucker
-[X][METHOD] Meditating: 5% bonus when attempting to breakthrough a bottleneck.
-[X][ACTIVITY 1] Training One Palm Advances, A Thousand Strike (High Mortal). Mastery Level: Basic (41 / 600).
-[X][ACTIVITY 2] Training Single Foot, One Thousand Steps [High Mortal]
-[X][SHOP]Floating Body Pellet [High Mortal] A pellet that helps in making the joints and tendons loose and flexible, allowing for quicker gains when training for increased agility and flexibility. -200 (Use while training Single Foot, One Thousand Steps [High Mortal])
-[X][SHOP]Unyielding [High Mortal] Less man and more a machine, you only tread in one direction. Forward. Reduces the time needed to heal from wounds by half allowing for a cultivator to operate in a fight longer and recover quicker compared to their peers. -300
-[X][SHOP]Genius Body [High Mortal] A person of unparalleled natural ability grants a bonus to non-Ki based attributes. (Such as bumping all non ki attributes up by one tier) -500
-[X][SHOP]Genius Soul [High Mortal] A person who possess soul roots of unnatural quality granting a bonus to all ki based attributes. (Such as bumping all ki attributes up by one tier) -500
-[X][SHOP]Determined [Mid Earth] For you have a will of steel and mind of metal. Stamina consumption and wound recovery time is cut in half again allowing a cultivator to do battle for four times longer compared to their peers. (Requires the purchase of Tireless and Unyielding before becoming avaliable.) -1,000
-[X][SHOP]Single Foot, One Thousand Steps [High Mortal] Similar to the One Palm Advances, One Thousand Strike technique in methodology, this movement technique functions by taking a runing step, and pushing against the ground again the momemt the foot leave the ground until the leg is fully extended, producing as much motive force as one thousand steps in seemingly a single extension of the leg. -500
-[X][SHOP]Immortality of the Flowing Water [High Mortal] By emulating water and allowing one to flow with and around attacks rather than standing against them directly one can ignore or at least reduce the damage of incoming attacks. -200
-[X][SHOP]Ten Sun Birds [Low Earth to High Heaven] Many techniques and cultivation manuals boast of unsurpassed speed: this one imparting the swiftness of wind, that one the agility and grace of a leopard or crane, the other of the tirelessness of a horse. They are all deluded, for the sun traverses all the Heavens in a single day without tiring, its superiority so effortless that it gives the illusion of slowness. Those who cultivate Ten Sun Birds embody this effortless speed and illusory paradox; they can move fast even while appearing slow, causing their enemies to see impossible contradictions in the user's movements that make them nigh-impossible to track, their every strike becoming a sweeping multitude that engulfs the Heavens. -3,500
Bank the remaining 1560 points in case of emergency. Healing pills, poisons dispelling pills. Never know when shit is going to be thrown at us.
The rationale behind the activity choices are that the two techniques are similar (maybe we will get a narrative bonus, who know!) and speed is great when escaping shit. And that technique is better at escaping than the elephant one. Next month, training the family's style and the evasive technique sounds great, if we have enough mastery added to these two I selected in my plan.
