No, its for all of her supporters. We were one of her supporters so we will have access to it. Others that will have access to it are Han Jian and co. and Meizhen.

Getting halfway through to the next stage upon breakthrough would be pretty stellar already, no?
So a little more analysis of the choices on my part.
One interesting fact I didn't realize is wind is never referenced in the update I have no clues over how to interpret that though. For the other three they represent three different flavors of joy Ling Qi has found in life. That of a thief doing daring jobs, a beggar whose only solace was playing what little songs she knew on her flute, and the joy she found with the friends she had made in the Outer Sect, but I would greatly caution against interpreting selecting one over the other as devaluing the path not selected as Qi will still find doing those everyday activities fun.
Hopefully this was useful for anyone undecided on what to vote for.
Everything is under the light of the moon, and anything referring to a shore involves lake qi I.E "Lake qi is the element of joy and delight in material pleasures".
The wood is next to the shore, and has a bonfire. So this option seems like Wood qi is "Wood is an element of life and spontaneity, and overlaps with both Heaven and Wind in many ways.". lake that I already quoted above, and fire as in "Fire that drives one forward afterward, aggression and passion are the hallmarks of fire." as primaries. The lush wood probably means it has Heaven, and wind secondaries bonuses.
The village is next to the shore so it has a lake qi bonus, and appears to be mostly darkness alongside an element that gives light, which is probably either heaven, or fire. The mountain is on a shore so lake qi again, and obviously involves mountain qi I.E "Mountain, representing steadfastness and immovability and endurance of hardship.". There are a lot ways to interpret the mountain trying to grasp the room, and it might represent the hard road cultivators walk through life. The familiar tune is obviously, and seems like it represent Qi's desire to compose music to offer to the Smiling Moon for her favor like the wanderer did with FVM.

Given Ling Qi likes the city so this path has that as well. In addition to darkness it might have some bonuses to stealth.
Seeing as I don't recall anyone mentioning this the relevant definition for serenade in this instance it is either " A musical performance given to honor or express love for someone, often by one person.", or more of a celebration and the target of the serenade is presumably the Smiling Moon due to it being a familiar tune.
I'm honestly drawing a blank on what say that I haven't already mentioned. Actually given it explicitly saying joy in the option it probably has a larger bonus to lake qi.
Hm. One can view this as a continuation of the last breakthrough bonus, but do keep in mind that for all Ling Qi values the ability to make her own choices she has at least once wondered to herself whether power enough to be free was all she wanted. Regardless of this if you wand to go the wind route this seems like the choice for you.
Hopefully this was useful for anyone undecided on what to vote for.

Gonna de-lurk to throw in my 2 cents. I like this options, but not because its the have everything option. Its hearkens back to what that one Tutor was saying with Wind. Being an element that can somewhat tie things together, its the option that spreads Ling Qi herself the thinnest but also means we will be more likely to maintain what connections we choose, even if not as strongly. I basically see this as being a more generalist option, a little of everything, rather then focusing on any one area. Anyway back to the shadows.

I don't mind any of the choices on principle, so I'll just vote for whichever ones sound like they'll give the most interesting vision scenes next update. In that sense, the Moon Peak and Friend Forest are my front runners, but I'm most curious as to what Ling Qi's friends are like in her personal spirit realm.

I think for me I'm picking the forest because Ling Qi would not even remotely be the same person without Meizhen, Suyin, Ling, Xiulan, Zeqing, and Zhengui. Those friends (slash family in one case) have collective shaped Ling Qi far more than any other experience, skill, art, or she's had. Ling Qi is calm and collected because she's taken from Meizhen's training and example, nevermind all the personal development moments they've had together. She went from barely literate to full on study partner in research because of Suyin. She's learned to enjoy herself because of Xiulan, and greatly broadened her experiences, plus she's begun to understand how to tactfully support someone with an independent streak. She's well-grounded because of Su Ling. She's been pushed farther and taught how to understand an alien perspective because of Zeqing. And she's relearning what it's like to have family thanks to Zhengui and of course her mother.
Without these people in her life Qi would be a totally different person. They've shaped her more than her arts, more than the skills she's honed, more than her musical talent, more than whatever cultivation talent flows in her blood. And I think this is a good thing, which I want to see more of.

Wow this update. Between Suyin's magic hands, the pale manual having a giant bone mecha and the crazy breakthrough rolls with the unexpected perfect... This is really as well as things could've gone.
That said, @yrsillar besides the already mentioned Water (of which we have as many meridians as Wood in FVM5 and AC3), we also didn't get a breakthrough bonus from EPC mastery?
Maybe Argent Soul isn't the norm but I'd expect something from the cultivation art of the Moon. (maybe it's in having that music/moon choice at all, in which case I won't complain).

Water got lumped in with the Imperial Eight though. And a +5 Auto Success for virtually every Art we might stumble across is no small thing.

Looking at the options for this vote, I'm pretty sure the EPC (Moon vote), Music (also moon vote), ??? (sky vote) bonii will all change depending on which vote wins. So we should get it next update.
