Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

Are you sure that's at all wise? I gather that is Zeqing's actual territory. And frankly, Zeqing is likely to trigger Su Ling's mommy issues like crazy. Which with a super diplomatic person might not be a problem, but... I would not trust them alone together.

"Oh, your mom ate your dad? I had to eat my husband too. Really, MEN."
otoh, more exposure to humans is what makes spirits take more human traits too.
 
Only through bonding though. Spirits on their own don't change much.
And yet, without a bond, Ling Qi made Zeqing reconsider her action. Maybe not to the point of not doing it, but at least in how she should present it.
Zeqing is also respecting the Sect rules, I doubt she is bounded with any of the Elders.
 
I don't think Su Ling has enough tact that I'd be comfortable taking her to yandere-central. I also doubt she would get along with a spirit, man-eating or not.

Does she even use much wind?
Her shiny new sword art has Mountain, I believe, which the site also applies to.
So uh...

Does anyone else think the trees might object to a larceny attempt, and it's not just the Dragon we should worry about?

If we do take that mission we better swing by the archives or Wikipedia Suyin to ask about those.
Ling Qi Spirit Diplomacy kicks in again and the Dragon + Grove invites us back for tea and cakes every fortnight, with her allowed to take as many fruits as she can carry. :p
 
[X] Plan eightfold week redux + discovering options

Next week someone please make a plan that works in Xiulan and preparing escape things for me cause I do not want to do maths.
 
It has been several weeks since we hung out with Xiulan. Sorta want that in a plan, but I'm not willing to drop Suyin to do it and the other options are too important to drop. Social link hell indeed.

From the perspective of Cai-ology this update didn't tell us much we didn't already know, but I'll analyze what we did learn. Most significant was this exchange:
My Father was a soldier of no great talent, but considerable valor," Gan Guangli's expression grew thunderous. "When he was crippled defending our town he was thrown away like so much trash," he shook his head.

Ling Qi frowned. "Why are you so devoted to Lady Cai then? Most people would blame her, since her Mother runs everything."

"That is not a tale I wish to share," Gan Guangli stated flatly. "You are a good ally Miss Ling, but I am sure you understand."
This tells us a couple of things. Given the obvious chip on his shoulder about people who are injured in service being thrown away we can be confident in his statements that the volunteers to destroy the lights-orbs around Sun's fortress really were volunteers and were well cared for and rewarded. This makes sense: Ling Qi would've been willing to jump into a murderblizzard in order to improve her cultivation we can hardly be surprised if other cultivators take risks in exchange for valuable rewards. Also, CRX is hot and guys can be kind of dumb. :D

It also implies that he believes CRX is not cut from the same cloth as her mother, despite their shared obsession with order. He clearly regards what happens to his father under Shenhua's policies as unacceptable but is wholeheartedly devoted to CRX, so he believes she would behave differently.


The other thing to note is her decision not to completely destroy the fortress. This shows that her devotion to order is not blindly obsessive: she's capable of willingly allowing enemies and disorder to exist if she believes it will serve her long-term goals, rather than obsessively trying to control every detail at all times.

We already saw this though when she didn't object to us dealing with our mysterious issue ourselves during Renshu's Bad Day, rather than insisting that we tell her everything immediately. She is a capable of trusting her subordinates and allowing them to act autonomously rather than micromanaging.

Tentatively this, but expect me to switch in an instant if there's an option for a Xiulan choice. I'm eager to know how she's getting along with her crippling.
 
Hmmm... If we did both the Wolf mission ourselves and the Passionfruit mission, and completed them completely, then we should get a total of 110 sect points (60 for normal wolves, 15 for alpha, 35 for fruit). That would allow us to go to the 3rd ranked archives twice, which would be pretty awesome.

Don't know if we can do the wolf pack ourselves though, but with archery and the FVM we have a better chance at it then others.
 
It's a pipe dream but it would be great if we made really good friends with the river dragon and he offered to bond with us once we broke through.
 
One thing to note is that the Xiulan minor is her coming to us, not us initiating it. It's probably a combination of her recovering a bit more from her tribulation and wanting to check up on us after Sun's attack.

If not for Yan Renshu I'd be all for trying to Assassin's Creed our way through the wolf pack. As it is though I wouldn't want to try solo missions until after Yan Renshu's Worse Day. I'm hoping Fu Xiang's favor points us in that direction.

Also, can we add some information purchasing to the Fu Xiang minor? Even aside from Argent earth/heaven, our supply of super-drugs is running low and he seems like the kind of guy who could hook us up for the right price. Gotta put those stones to work.

I think Wolf mission would be a lot of fun to do with Xiulan. ALSO! It should give a 3rd grade core from it. Probably Wind/Ice, so perfect for upgrading our blizzard pin.

Yeah, I don't think we can actually stealth our way through the fight.

The problem is: what happens if one wolf detects us? Presumably they tell the others. And they have 20 chances there, as well as probably having decent smell based perception.
