[X] The disciple with the sword is offering to teach combat skills. It is likely an introductory course, but you have no formal training, and any cultivator must learn the martial arts.

If he's willing to teach us how to use a bow rather than a sword I'm cool with this.

Look, a stat had to be the dumpstat.

It isn't paranoia if they really are out to get you.

I believe we will be the crazy bloodthirsty guy who only cares about fighting/killing.

Imo its more when ahe said we could complete tasks for people in town she was trying to hint we could do hunting related tasks for her. Check was to see if mc picked up on it i think. He failed.
 
I feel like we should do something nice for Shao Suyin, she took us in and fed us without actually asking for anything in return. We should probably hunt and bring something back for her. After training maybe?

If we are going to be working on exploring the wilds around the Golden Reeds Sect, then we need to know how to fight better. Being able to protect ourselves from danger seems prudent.

[] If possible try to make time to hunt something for Shao Suyin as thanks for letting us crash at her place.

While the sentiment is appreciated, no write-ins just yet. We'll probably start allowing them soon though.
 
[X] The disciple with the fancy robes is offering tutoring on cultivation. You know the basics, but surely a sect has more to teach you?

I'm curious about the cycling system here.

This land seems a bit more abundant with stronger animals than back home. We should improve our background skills if we want to hunt around here.

While swords are cool I think that having a higher level of cultivation knowledge would help us more.
Like we are not complete neophytes when it comes to defending ourselves and we have a weapon already.

100% agree! Which is why I think cycling/cultivation knowledge is more important.
The most important skill our lad can learn at this early stage is a way of rudimentarly sensing the relative strength of things.
Strength of beasts, areas of Qi concentration and people will help us judge what we should (and more importantly what we shouldn't) go up against.
I think it's unlikely fighting lessons will give us that knowledge.
 
I could see it included in either class, or more likely, neither.
Assessing the strength of your enemy is an important skill for combat.
Sensing Qi concentration is also something I would expect from a cultivation class.
However, it isn't a basic skill in either of those subjects. Basic fighting is usually something like how to not block with your face, and how not to break your wrist with a punch. Basic cultivation is usually something like how to cycle, and how not to blow yourself up while cycling.

Would be good to get in a class of each before we do another exploration action.

[X] You have only so many days to prove yourself. Seek tasks to complete in the town and see what you might accomplish and what rewards you might reap.

    • So what is the cultivation basics that Lind know? Does he know what benefits he might expect from completing the Consecration stage or if the elements cycled during the Consecration stage matter in the long run?

    Lind has no points in any relevant knowledge skills, but he does know how to cycle, which is what I meant by "the basics."

    Cleansing bodily impurities makes the body and mind work better, which is why most people do it. You can think of it like exercise or meditation - the average person won't become an amazing athlete by the occasional trip to the gym, but it's still considered a good idea.

    As for what effect cycling different elements might have on the next stage, it's not something he expected to be relevant to him, at least for a long time. Good cultivation methods and sites are guarded, and most people fail to get beyond the first stage - and the percentage who get beyond the second without the backing of a sect, noble family or skilled teacher is even smaller. Stories speak of cores, meridians, Daos and soul-forging.
