A better flute - different types of instrument don't have different stats, only the quality of the instrument and the user's level of skill matter. Ling Qi also has a fair amount of effort invested in flutes/woodwind instruments, so swapping to something like a keyboard/piano would set her back a fair bit, even if it was blended with some kind of scythe.

hi first time posting here what do you think the future weapon / musical instrument could be since the flute will probably be too weak for ling qi to use in the future
BETTER idea
Suyin can help us whip it up.
Faking is complicated for Ling Qi because of the sincerity stuff.
I've long suggested taking inspiration from the Hidden Moon to fix our social ails. Being cold and distant makes you look like a jerk, and interacts poorly with Ling Qi's natural inclinations. But being mysterious makes you look cool and awesome. Similarly, curiosity is a good way to stay engaged with other people... and to act as a counterbalance to fear or anxiety. It's a motivation, which is something she lacks in more casual social engagement.

maybe ling biyu could try since the piano is a very varied instrument Is the piano a percussion instrument? - Quora
Haha, I just realized that within the historical context of the setting the term "tin ear" is probably a reference to the relative unmusicality of the Bai. Thousand lakes was the first province to make bronze, utilizing tin deposits. Tin is also mythically entwined with the local serpents, who consumed it to strengthen their scales. Since the Bai aren't very musical compared to other folks in the empire, "tin ear" has some pretty obvious connotations.
I can't believe Bao Qian would carelessly use such ethnically charged language.

If we really want to look at changing from the flute, there is only one true path. What we really need to do is embrace the inevitable, pick up Water as a main element, and adopt the hydraulophone as our instrument of choice.

I'm also taken by the idea of just being like "Musical Instruments? Haha, how gauche!" Late game Ling Qi just out here with like 400 Reds strapped to her domain and unleashing the Cultivation Choir.

Since effort is invested into woodwinds the upgrade really wouldn't be a battle tuba.
It'd be going full on saxophone.

what are the elements that su ling cultivates today? she had a lake, maybe fire and a mountain all of this in the domain makes me imagine a waterfall the fire helps the mountain flow into the lake like this, destaginating the lake with a red moon on top of the mountain

Su Ling was innately Fire/Lake affinity. She likes Fire but she doesn't like Lake, and is rebelling by trying to cultivate the exact opposite element of Mountain. She's having a reasonable level of success so far (In so far as she's making progress period at least, and that triple-crit Breakthrough roll probably contributes to that)
