The Path Unending (A Cultivation Quest)

"As a member of the First Circle, I have access to resources that are far beyond your reach, duckling. That includes many Natural Wonders set aside for our personal use- Natural Wonders I would be more than happy to allow my little disciple to cycle from. They will not help you find the techniques themselves, but once you have them, you will have a ready source of power to help you master them."
@Vesvius Quick question for you

Based on how this is phrased... is our access to the First Cirlce wonders JUST for getting our technique situation solved? Or is this General access for any of our projects?

Like for infusing charms, etc

This is a rare opportunity to get some guaranteed quality techniques. As far as we're aware, Anam of the right type is the same, no matter what source it comes from, while techniques are most definitely not equal. Worst case scenario, we have to spend a lot of money/sect points on Wonder rentals or getting Shouxi to run an IV of ground up Steel pills into our arm. Better than either hoping to run into the right techniques in the wild or spending a lot of money/sect points on the techniques available in the Archives, which are absolutely not going to be as good as an Elder's private library.

The former. Siani isn't giving you full access to his own training resources. Once you have a tech for Smoke, Steel, and Time integrated, access will be restricted. He may give you access again in the future, but it will be dependent on his whims.

Alright, if it's not full access I think the techs will be better. Those will keep with us for much longer. Also it would hurt to lose access to wonders we depend on, so it may be better for us to just find or get access to different wonders for long term planning.

Yeah, techniques sounds good and they're bound to be useful if they are vetted by Siani. He wants KZ to be useful after all. It's certainly going to be good to have a list to choose from in order to decide a build.

While I don't necessarily want to depend on pills, we can use them while searching for Wonders.

Elder Siani pushes back on his chair, rocking on to it's back legs. "As far as Time goes, you are not yet ready to receive my instruction on it. Moreover, I suspect you may have an idea of how to proceed on your own. For now."

Seems like Siani knows about the Ichor and wants us to go forward with it.
 
Here's how things look so far.

-[X] Ask Kumi if she knows where we might find Smoke and Steel Natural Wonders
 
Oh, this is interesting. I wonder if Kumi was the one who spotted Kong Zhi in Second of Eternity.

It's cheaper to buy anam - through pills or natural wonders - than it is to buy good techniques. And we can make money via charmcrafting fairly simply.

Ngl, I am really interested in that Dream technique, but we don't have Dream anam... Alas, there goes that idle thought.
 
Been lurking and following progress on this quest since before the charm duel but it's getting so interesting I feel like I have to start contributing
