Alright, nephew. This next part will rely on you! So pay attention! First, cycle Qi. No! Not that much! Just enough to get a feel for it!

You need to roll, I think.

Not sure how many wisdom players voted but if you can please pick the future event option, that way we could figure out what we need and course correct next turn.

We have enough votes to get the Healing Item. And it just came to mind but maybe come next turn once we use the Pill of Pure Thought we all spam learning actions regardless of our Ghost Type? It's guaranteed at least 3 Progress for no Teaching Ghost that rolls a 1 each...

...granted there's still the Debuff due to the injury so huh.
 
Alright, let update how we are doing.

gather qi: 4 + = 4 + 0 - 1= 3/3,
gather water qi: 6 + = 6 + 0 - 1= 5/10,
gather yin qi: 12 + 10 + 6 + 6 + 10 + 6 + 7 + 4 + 7 + 8 + = 76 + 0 - 10= 66/17

investigate anomaly: 6 + 7 + 6 + = 19 + 33 = 52/50

condense qi: 3 + 11 + = 14 + 4 - 2= either 16/100

silent hunters: 7 + 7 + 12 + 8 + 7 + 7 + 3 + = 51 + 0 = max 46 lowest 26/10 so 5 contribution points

next event divination: 11 + 10 + 11 + = 32 + 0 = 32/50

map the body: 5 + = 5 + 0 = 5/100

refine bloodlust: 7 + 6 + 8 + 9 + = 30 + 47 = 77/100

knowledge of alchemy: 10 + = 10 + 0 = 10/50
knowledge of qi: 8 + = 8 + 4 = 12/100
teach breakthrough: ? + 9 + 8 + 7 + 12 + 5 + 6 + = 47 + 0 = 47/50
teach cultivation: 8 + = 8 + 11 = 19/50

clear meridians: 2 - 1 = 1(fail),

So anomaly is investigated, have gotten 5 extra contribution points and possibly breakthrough to lvl 1 if our forgettful elder would remember to roll instead of yelling at Guang Li.

The hp situation is bad, but we will heal.
Our qi situation is fine for yin qi, but dangerously low for pure qi since we started with 9 but is down to 3.

For future ghosts:
Wisdom: investigating the future event needs 1 or 2 more ghosts, depending on rolls. Otherwise take your pick from the options.

Wrath: Keep hunting those silent beats until we unlock more stuff for you guys to do.

Qi: While I am quite indifferent about the focus on gathering yin qi, we are in badly need of pure qi. But 1-3 more ghosts rolling for it should help a lot.

Edited with two assumptions about the minus. And -1 per qi action for both Guang Li and ghosts confirmed.

Updated results:

Breakthrough has gotten to lvl 1 with the elder pausing their yelling to roll. :D
Next turn we will have (as of right now) 7 pure qi, 0 water qi, 4 yin and 0 yang.

The rest is pretty much unchanged.
 
For any Knowledge ghosts who haven't voted yet, we've levelled Breakthrough to 1 and finished analysing the anomaly. The most important option now is probably Divining Fate which is currently at 32/50; if we complete it this turn we'll have a much better idea of what to go for next turn in the run up to the event.
 
I wonder if we can consume the spiritual pests for more Yin Qi? Is that something we can experiment with? Or maybe some better bonuses for the Ghosts doing the hunting?
 
Okey, small update machines wise, I've been looking over the math for health and how high health gets later on and as I want to make the jump from one stage to another more significant I've decided that that every stage also adds +1 to health regeneration from a base of 1.

Basically, mortals heal 1 per turn, QC1 heal 2, QC2 heal 3, QC3 heal 4 and so on and so on.

This means you heal 3 as a base +2 from Guang action to a total of five (six if you buy healing).
 
we're pretty close to the 5 yin qi needed to try Yin meridians. Unless we get more intel, I propose we buy a bunch of meridian bonus granting pills. they are 4 cc +2 and therefore expensive, but opening one more yin meridian would probably pay for that kinda fast, since it's 20% more qi gathering efficiency
