"This has been a fascinating delve. I am thankful for all the things I have been shown today," Li Suyin said, looking down at the still squirming tendril squirming under the skin of her hand. "Ah, these organs process and weave liminal energy patterns, and control dimensional relocation, I think you don't need this anymore, snip snip."

...okay, so who else wants to see what sort of terrifying construct Li Suyin can make out of "control dimensional relocation"? Just me? Nah, can't be.

Anyway. We could absolutely use cultivation reagents, but frankly "do our thing a bit better, and/or sooner" falls way short versus "add a whole new dimension to the thing Li Suyin does".

She glanced to her side, heart still in her chest as she shield falling from Li Suyin's hand, the arm of her construct shattered, revealing her bare hand, and the wirey tendril sunk into her skin, squirming its way under her flesh already wrapping its way around her arm. How had her technique…?

Call an ambulance!

The glowing blue iris visible in one eye socket of her friend's helm glittered, and flashed to a dark, malicious red.

"Analysis complete."

Her impaled hand clenched around the translucent tendril, fingernails digging into the half liquid flesh. The cavern screamed.

But not for Li Suyin!

Wires coiled and snapped out, whipping through the water, and dug into the damaged lion and wolf constructs. Silk unspooled, bones came apart, rapidly pulled in toward Li Suyin. Her friends head swiftly rose over her own as bones and silk bonded and melded around the shorter girls legs, ribcages aglow with the spirit stones powering even as they clasped around her hips.

Bear and boar came apart next, armoring her chest and and head, the stone shielded broke into overlapping plates, forming plated armor over gleaming bone. The Horse and Ox were last, dissolving into unspun silk and morphic bone, transforming into lanky, armored arms that held the mancatcher and mirrored shield.

The light of Li Suyin's artificial eye shone out from the stylized, feminine faceplate of the three meter tall golem of bone and silk which her friend now occupied.

Big Bonesaw vibes from this one.

she's got the power rangers fusion move, now she just needs to enable the gigantification mode and she'd be set.
 
I would like to remind the thread that Li Suyin is already being compensated for her labor.
That was decided back when we first talked about the Cathedral's expedition, when LQ and Bao Linqin banded together to get Suyin to accept proper payment.
I don't know the exact figures, but it would obviously be a just and proportional amount, negotiated with the Sect

I understand the impulse of wanting to help and give gifts to our friends, but it may be misplaced in this situation.

Assuming the parasite's core is middle third grade, which is reasonble seeing how Suyin is dominating it; its main worth compared with other impurity cores come from its liminal alignment.
But the liminal organs are much more valuable and potent on that aspect. Here is the quote.

LQ's liminal abilities are one of her biggest assets, one of her most distinctive and powerful tool on her skillset.
If the reagents made from these organs allowed LQ to increase her Dreamwalking trait, that would be massive boon. One that would open up a lot of new possibilities on the future.

It's good to care and wanting to help our friends.
But we also need to strive to improve and strengthen LQ's cultivation, to seize opportunities to develop our potential.
A greater mastery of our Liminal abilities can make all the difference on the upcoming war.

So I ask that the Thread doesn't let themselves to get carried away with misplaced good intentions and consider what is best for LQ's growth.

Hmm you know yeah, she is paid and we've historically always shared our victories with her, seems reasonable to be "selfish" for once

I think on the whole liminal stuff will be harder to come by than impurity cores, given that we are about to go to war witha species built on using impurity and tend to prefer negotiation where possible when it comes to liminal spirits.
