The irony of that text combined with double 1.

Guang Li is fully healed, gain Ma Fen and Shu Cai as a contact (they are effectively a single contact) their social link is 5 giving you a passive +1 to all rolls to teaching and learning non advanced skills (this includes ghost rolls) additionally they van be called to provide an additional +5 to such actions,
Yay!
the struggling cultivators contact consider Guang Li to be heavily in their debt.
[X] Help the struggling disciples (pay off debt).
If the cost is 1 AP, thats ok I'd say.
-1 charge of the shield of heaven.
Crap.
Due to your altercations with Meng Qi shop prices have risen by 1.5X the easiest way to get rid of this penalty is to join one of the halls.
Motherfucker.

After this I want to work on learning forging too, pill and weapon makers are always really respected

We also need to do some searching for materials and actually making the pill

Did you count the new friend bonuses? we get a +1 per roll
 
Yeah I am not sold on it, but we have made a powerful enemy so we need to drive at being exceptional. Def interested in the alchemy hall, but as you can see above I am looking to expand our crafting skills with refining.

Also @uri di you plan to add an inventory section? I believe we should have 3 basic herbs stored.
Right now, our issue is that we have no backer. "being exceptional" is neither necessary nor plausible in the short term. Getting a backer, though, just requires that we align ourselves with one of the Halls and then manage our social links there well enough... which is something that we can do. Meanwhile, "head into a known dangerous situation away from the watchful eyes of the Enforcement division" is maybe not the smartest thing to do when we have an enemy with plenty of bribe money and no honor.

For backing purposes, I'd rather go heavy into alchemy and get a solid foundation there first before trying to branch out.

to be fair we should still have a "get out of death" card, and sacred realms are a convenient source of wealth and power IF we can survive them



mh.. not sure what to vote for... maybe I should just gather more water qi?
 
Alright, these are the results so far:

teach fellowship: 5 + = 5 + 1 + 2 + 17 = 25/75
teach combat: 9 + 9 + = 18 + 2 + + 4 + 25 = 49/100
teach refining: 6 + = 6 + 0 = 6/50
teach alchemy: 5 + 2 + 10 + 7 + = 24 + 0 = 24/50

gather pure qi: 6 + = 6 + 0 = 6/3 2 qi
gather water qi: 3 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 10 + = 40 + 9 = 49/10 4 water
gather yin qi: 9 + = 9 + 9 = 18/17 1 yin
gather yang qi: 5 + = 5 + 0 = 5/60

condense qi (water): 11 + 3 + 8 + 5 + = 27 + 27 + 58 = 112/100

restless anger: 2 + 12 + = 14

map body: 4 + = 4 + 36 = 40/100

search for info on Caves: 7 + = 7 + 0 = 7/50

the Life line (fast edition): 8 + = 8 + 16 + 0 = 24/300

look into the stars: 3 + = 3 + 0 = 3/500

gather blood qi: 5 + = 5 + 0 = 5/30

We've gotten to Q2 mid which is good.

For the wisdom ghosts: Teaching basic skills gives bonuses so that is a good option. None of our options are bad so feel free to choses which you want to do. :)

For the wrath ghosts: So many options for you to do. Pick as you please but try not to drain too much of our hp.

For the qi ghosts: Pure qi is doing good so no need to pick it unless you want to. Gathering qi and condensing it is an evergreen option.

Might be better to save that card for something else, though. No?

...and this past little experience suggests that triggering that particular card does not result in fabulous prizes.
