You say this with the confidence of someone who has met with earth spirits
which is odd seeing that we have never done so

you really think it's going to be as simple as just asking them and all the mysteries are revealed?
narrative demands don't allow such a boring mission

Just tell them to send Ji Rong to deal with the worm problem. Let the poor lad have his revenge for what happened during the tournament.

Doesn't narrative then also demands that we don't just wander around hoping for a lucky lead since that'd be pretty boring too, so that helpfully clears up your original reasoning against earth spirits, I guess.

sure, they'll find a lead . . . that will require them to enter the worm tunnels

Wouldn't be surprised if there are people better suited for dealing with worms or spirits in the main army than Ling Qi is. Yan Renshu got into the Inner Sect at the same time as Ling Qi, so he's probably participating in the exercise. Ji Rong is thunder and lightning, which in most Xianxia/old chinese mythology is highly effective against evil spirits and ghosts. Furthermore, both of the other options are more combat based, while I don't really see an army of third realms having a good time fighting against actual mountains if the earth spirits are agitated when they get there. Meanwhile, maybe talking to literal mountains will be good for future figurative mountain Zhengui.

I think this paragraph is key to understanding the choice. Today we get to tackle a problem together. Tomorrow we might have to tackle a problem separately. Ling Qi is uniquely suited to taking down those worms alone, if she had to. All three issues could warrant team investigation but I definitely think LQ can handle the worms. She could also probably handle either of the other two but I would prefer a larger group of experience.
[x] Seek to quell and disperse the malicious spirits gathering at the Old Watch, and find what is causing the quelled spirits to rise again.
I think it's reasonable to believe we can handle this issue as a group, as it involves spirit diplomacy (quelling), spirit dispersal (combat), and investigation, and the more diverse skills required the better off we are tackling it as a team. Either LQ or the old man might be able to treat with the earth spirits, and LQ can handle the worms, so I feel this is the best choice to take on today while we still are able to work together with the other 3.
