Is there any reason to max out Expression, though? I mean, has @yrsillar specifically stated that stats that have reached their maximum for a given level of cultivation provide some sort of bonus? Or is that merely guesswork?
Merely guesswork, the same way we guessed that a certain amount of Qi was important before breakthrough to Yellow, or a certain amount of meridians, or a certain amount of art mastery. While we had 'suspected' all of this, we had however confirmed probable bonus from AS in particular.
This is why I said 'we might', because we just don't know. It's perfectly in-theme for there to be something though.
It's guesswork with little support. Stats, Skills, Specialties, and Masteries are the most opaque part of the system, and seem separate from almost everything else except when using them in a roll. That said, it would be in theme.
So yrsillar said any threadmarkrd fan works get two points. I produced 3 so six points. These are the stats with at most five until level up, any thoughts on what I should invest in? I like Resolve but it's one that we often train so I was liking Investigation, Occult, Intimidation and Persuasion.
Don't forget my four points either! We should work together to figure the best way to spend them.
Edit: although, I'm probably going to wait until after the event is done so that I can see what we increased during this battle. Don't want to spend points to level up something that I don't have to!

Keep in mind, we can't level things up directly we are not doing this week. This is why I talked about War: the only way to use Omake to level it up is to omake it up the week Ling Qi is increasing it via her own actions.
Well, my suggestion would then be to put the omake points available into Persuasion, Investigation, Expression, Intimidation, in that order. Between @Grigori's and @Thor's Twin's points there should be enough to get all four skills to nearly the next level, I believe.

Well, as I understand, omake points can be used to grant skills XP, but not level them up. Ie, no raising Craft from 1 to 2 by spending 3 omake points.
My suggestion would be:
Persuasion +3
Investigation +2
Expression +4
Intimidation +2
For a total of 11 omake points. The remaining points could then be saved up to invest into those skills again once they've leveled up (with Persuasion being my personal preference).
Alternatively, Intimidation could be ignored, which would leave 5 points to be saved up and invested later.
War isn't really going to be relevant for quite a while, I'd expect. Plus, we'll probably have some opportunities to train it once we join the Inner Sect and start our military service.
Ahh, I wish. After this, I am almost expecting the sect to be in a state of simmering turmoil. Sun wasn't banished, after all, so she will be around to keep things popping in terms of conflict and the like. I don't expect a major rebellion like this for a while, but small group actions and people harassing us will almost be a given.

We can level up skills with omake points. It just has to be done in the same turn we train that skill. For example, since we're likely to get Archery xp this turn, I could choose to level it up by spending omake points, but I wouldn't be able to level up something like Academics because we haven't used it this turn.
Reminder Lingqi dreams of riding into battle atop a giant turtle with a polearm as large as she is. Make it happen please, with shiny ripped muscles too!

Ling Qi cast one more glance at up Cai Renxiang, who despite her injury showed not the slightest hint of lacking confidence. No, in this case her first impulse was right. The heiress was not the kind to sacrifice herself for others, or at least Ling Qi thought not. Which meant that there was some greater plan at work. She did not want to interfere with it out of some misplaced and pointless courage.
She caught Gu Xiulan's eye and jerked her head in the direction of the plaza and the lecture hall, playing all the while. They needed to get moving. Her friend only hesitated a moment before nodding. "Keep moving!" she said harshly, causing the two boys to jerk slightly as she caught their attention, drawing it away from the confrontation. "There is no reason to intercede here, it will only trouble the Lady," Ling Qi didn't miss the way Xiulan's gloved fist clenched when she said that, but it was an issue they could discuss when they were safe at home.
Ling Qi cast one more glance at the floating heiress before turning on her heel and dashing away, heading for the hall. Yet, in that last moment, she had glimpsed something, held discreetly in Cai Renxiang's left hand… were those scissors? She did not look back again though, despite the oddity, it didn't concern her.
They ran, dashing across the flagstones of the plaza, now scorched and broken in several places, but mostly clear of disciples. None of those that are left try to stop the speeding cloud of roiling mist that covers your group, ahead Ling Qi could see four other battered looking disciples wearing Cai's mark standing guard over the main path, and Ling Qi could even now see the last the wounded she had brought in being helped into the lecture hall.
Then the sky bloomed with radiance behind them. She would call it a second sun, but even on the hottest day she could remember, the sun's light had never been so harsh. It was no color and every color all at once, somehow utterly heatless even as it washed out all color from her sight while screaming wind ripped across the plaza, tearing at her mist and bowling over more than one surprised disciple too close to the far side where they had come from, leaves and peach blossoms rained down on the plaza, torn from the decorative gardens.
She glanced back, and saw the copse of trees they had emerged from. Every tree was stripped of its leaves and half of its branches, the bark bleached a stark white. At this distance, she could see Guangli still standing in the epicenter of the blast, seemingly unharmed. Though his armor itself gleamed with colorless light. Cai still shone like a star in the sky, a blazing spotlight overseeing the broken trees where their pursuers had stood.
Yet their enemies were not beaten, a noxious looking purple mist exploded violently from the broken and bleached trees, writhing like a thing alive as it consumed Guangli, and at least three shadows blurred out within it assaulting the gigantic boys blazing beacon of a figure.
They were nearly to the lecture hall, Ling Qi found herself noting, no further foes lay ahead, and allies were only a few seconds away.
And she was not entirely without tricks even at this distance, her music cut out as her flute dematerialized, replaced with a sleek horn bow. As her friends sped out of her now stationary mist, she drew back the string, time seeming to slow as heaven qi surged through her channels, sparks crackling along her hands and arms.
16/50 qi
Her new armband burned hot as her qi reached it, flooding her tired limbs with energy, and Ling qi fired. The first shot struck one of the darting shadows around Guangli dead on, in a blinding flash, while the second sailed through out of her sight in the mist, dodged by the target. The third and the fourth exploded in displays of brilliance as well, and she thought she caught the distant sound of a cry of pain.
She didn't stick around however, instead pausing only to scoop up her flute before dashing through the gates of the lecture hall.
Gu Xiulan stands just inside, flanked by Fan Yu and the other boy. "You couldn't help yourself I suppose?" She asked with a drawl, casting a wary eye at the battle in the distance.
"I did have a clear shot," Ling Qi pointed out, she said with a shrug as she faced her friend. "It would have been a waste not too."
Gu Xiulan let out an irritable sound but didn't question her further. "Well, is there a plan as to what we do now?" She asked, turning to question the heavyset boy who stood at the doorway, wearing one of Cai's bands. He was one of those who had been posted at the entrance, and they had followed them in.
"Lady Cai has rented the use of a lecture room to as a place of recovery," the boy said with a slightly stiff bow. He was injured himself Ling Qi could see. "The others you sent have already gone ahead," he explained calmly.
Ling Qi frowned, she didn't like the idea of just sitting out the rest, but she was on the verge of qi depletion herself, and she really did need to let Zhengui out and comfort him. His alarm was sharp in her mind. She was about to speak up and inquire about Bai Meizhen, when someone else spoke up to her right.
"Ah, miss Ling?" She blinked at glanced at the source, the thin boy who had stood with them in her moment of decision. She felt like she had seen him before, maybe he had been in Zhou's lessons? He had slightly tanned skin and shaggy brown hair, the unkemptness might have been a result of battle though. "Thank you for your efforts," he continued at her questioning look, hastily bowing his head and clasping his hands together in front of him. "But may I go ahead? My… there is someone among the wounded I would like to check on."
Ling Qi blinked, why was he even asking her… She glanced to the side, scratching her cheek. She supposed she had kind of taken charge. "That's fine, you can go ahead, ….ah," she paused, right she didn't know his name. He didn't exactly stand out, given the dull earthen colors of his garb.
"Wei Hai," he said easily, seeming unperturbed. "Again, thank you for your efforts. If you require anything in the future, please feel free to ask," He bowed again and then turned away, hurrying down the hall. She stared at his back for a moment, considering. Full second realm, early in both tracks, she supposed that might be useful for something, he had been a defensive sort of fighter from the flashes she could recall from the run.
She shook her head and turned back to Xiulan, who was having her own murmured conversation with a browbeaten Fan Yu with an annoyed expression. She left them too it. Instead she turned to ask the boy guarding the door her question. "Do you know where Bai Meizhen is, and how she is doing?" She asked bluntly.
The boy shifted a bit nervously under her stare. "...MIss Bai was overseeing the organization of the forces in the residential areas, alongside Sir Xuan last I recall," he explained. "She was in good health."
Ling Qi let out a breath at that. It wasn't certain then, since something could have happened in the time since, but it she wasn't in any condition to go running off again at this point. She nodded her thanks to the boy and turned to head inside. Gu Xiulan caught her eye and fell in beside her, with Fan Yu trailing behind, his fists clenched and his head down.
They rested for a time after that, and soon it seemed that the battle had come to an end, as Guangli, now shrunken to normal height had swept into the building to thank them and all of the other enforcers for their 'valiant efforts'. Each of them would receive a share of the winnings gathered today, though some more than others. A handful of people, including Gu Xiulan were rewarded a second share… and Ling Qi received three. It came out to a fairly hefty sum.
+10 Yellow Spirit Stones
+35 Red Spirit Stones
However, Ling Qi was not really satisfied with a blunt exclamation of victory. She strongly doubted that things had gone as well as the bombastic Guangli indicated. Which was fine. He was bolstering morale after all.
It didn't mean she had to accept it. When she brought he matter up with him, guised under an inquiry as to immediate strategic concerns, he had referred her to Bai Meizhen. Which was sensible, cultivators had sharp ears. It was best to discuss such things in privacy.
The residential area was a mess, if one that was being rapidly cleaned up. The mansion SUn Liling had claimed seemed to have borne the worst damage, being little more than a smoldering broken wreck. The rest of the damage was more superficial. Her home had a few broken windows and a few holes in the roof and outer wall, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be repaired.
Once she had a chance to finally speak with Meizhen, late that night, events became more clear. Sun Ling had been driven out of the main part of the sect… but it might be better to say that she had simply retreated. Xuan Shi, who had been overseeing his confinement, had been overwhelmed by the combination of Sun Liling and Ji Rong, and the boy was broken out. Things had spiralled out from there. Her subordinate Lu Feng had apparently been slinking about gathering dissenters and they had all risen at once, some from within Cai's ranks themselves.
It had been Cai's intention to use Fu Xiang to ferret out such things, but there had simply not been time to get everything done before this second uprising. It had been made worse by the fact that she had convinced a healthy fraction of the older disciples to time their own bids at vengeance to coincide with hers.
Ultimately Cai still controlled the first year residences and several other key points… but things were tenuous at the moment. Sun Liling and her allies were holed up on the mountain somewhere, plotting away, and the confidence of the older disciples had been bolstered by the minor victories they had won across the mountain. Things would be dangerous going ahead.
Yet there wasn't much Ling Qi could do for the moment, save keep her eyes open, amke sure her friends were staying safe. She would have to consider convincing Suyin and Su Ling to move back into the residential area at the least.
All of those concerns could wait for the morning though. The chaos of the afternoon had the benefit of leaving the night peaceful by necessity, and Ling Qi took advantage of that to complete what she had begun earlier in the week and master the next phase of her cultivation art.
As she fell into meditation up on the roof of the home she shared with Meizhen, Ling Qi allowed her concerns to drift away for the moment. The little aches of the day of combat and exertion faded next, and soon, there was only the peace of her even, rhythmic breathing and the slow cycling of her depleted qi through her dantian and channels. She exhaled and opened her meridians further, drinking in the faint threads of stellar and lunar qi drifting down from the night sky like a slow and lazy rain.
Her qi recovered first, and soon the cool energies flowed outward from her channels, soaking into flesh and bone. Slowly, Ling Qi began to work on the next step, changing the pattern of her breathing as she began to cycle her qi in the more complex pattern demanded by the next step, a looping eightfold lattice of energy that flowed from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes.
This time, the pattern did not break or waver, she cycle her qi again and again drinking in new energy from the night sky all the while. Eight times eight cycles passed, and when next she breathed, the world was gone.
Ling Qi found herself sitting atop the water in the center of a pool of shimmering black water, shrouded by mist. The only thing visible to her eyes here where seven shining reflections in the water, and a single circular void of unlight which somehow stood out even in the darkness. Her thoughts drifted slowly, hazy from deep meditation, but she could recognize this for what it was. It felt similar to peering into the jade slip. This was a construct of her own mind, a translation of concept into image for her to understand.
Curiously, Ling Qi reached out, fingers brushing the water over the waning crescent. Water rippled, a soft laugh echoed in her thoughts. Images flashed across the water, a boy shadowed by deep purple mist, a room lit by eerie green lanterns… a book and a slip of jade. Ling Qi withdrew her hand as she felt a tug on her qi, if she held too long, her path would be set.
Curiously, she prodded the other images ones by one. From the void rose the image of a cavern, lit by bioluminescent fungus, growing over the remains of a strange basalt gate. From the other crescent came the image of puppet wearing her face and and the flash of a knife cutting down the dark shadow pulling its strings. The twinned half moons rebuffed her touch, a feeling of indifference resonating from them, as did the gibbous moons. Of the brighter moons, only the full one accepted her touch, giving her an image of a hand carefully drawing out the complex lines of formation characters one by one. The image shifted, and found herself looking at the staid expression of Xuan Shi.
It seemed the time had come to make a choice. She could feel that she would not be able to master the Ceremony further until she chose the path of a moon phase, and performed the offered task. Yet it did not feel… final, she would not be locked to a single path. The moon was change, and she would see herself cultivating under more than one sister's gaze by the of the Ceremony.

Much of the next day was spent on Zhengui, hunting down minor cores for him to eat to make up for yesterday, and soothing his nerves. Her spirit was jumpy and nervous, alarm ringing from his thoughts at every loud noise or sudden motion in the world around them. He clung stubbornly to her shoulder rather than going out to ramble and wander while she cleaned her kills.
He had also taken to breathing out superheated ash at things which surprised him, which was a little dangerous, but also amusing when it left him chirping triumphantly over a slain field mouse, only to have his kill stolen by his other head.
She also kept a wary eye on her fellow disciples though. It seemed that yesterdays violence had spent any remaining ill will, but there was still a tense atmosphere wherever she went. LIke a levee on the verge of bursting. It was only a matter of time until skirmishes began again.
However, Cai Renxiang was not idle, she had narrowed the scope of her enforcement, and those wearing her armband traveled in groups of four now rather than two… but she also saw many harsh group training and drilling sessions occurring throughout the areas Cai controlled. She was pushing them to grow stronger quickly and bolster their numbers.
It wasn't her concern for the moment though. For today, her focus lay on preparing to host Xiulan for the night, since she had invited the girl over for a little relaxation to unwind from the stressful week. She felt the need even more keenly given how worn out the girl had appeared by the end of the day.
Ling Qi had never really hosted guests before though, so her efforts were mostly guesswork aside from the obvious necessity of gathering a veritable mountain of sweets and other light foods, for them to snack on throughout the night. She enjoyed little luxuries like that, and Xiulan had more than a bit of a sweet tooth herself.
Evening came quickly enough, though, and Ling Qi busied herself preparing tea as she waited for Xiulan to arrive. She was not left waiting overly long, as her friend arrived promptly on time. They traded a bit of small talk as Ling Qi lead her through her home and out to the porch overlooking the internal garden where she had set things up for them. Ling Qi had left Zhengui to his own devices in the sandy portion of the garden, with a hefty amount of snacks of his own, and Xiulan released her own spirit to join him in the little enclosure, to avoid the flighty spirit growing bored and becoming distracting.
With their spirits needs taken care of them, the two of them were able to sit down on the thick blanket Ling Qi had laid out and relax under the cool evening sky.
"So, what have you been working on lately?" Ling Qi asked as she leaned back against the wall, a plate of sliced nian gao resting in her hand.
Gu Xiulan hummed to herself as she popped a spoonful of flavored ice into her mouth. Ling Qi was glad to see the gauntness in the girl's cheeks hadn't gotten any worse. She hadn't missed the eagerness with which her friend had dug into the presented food. "Exercising and improving my body of course," Xiulan replied haughtily. "It does not do to let oneself fall behind," she declared.
"That can't be all," Ling Qi replied, savoring a bit of the sweet rice cake before speaking again. "I have been working on further mastering a few of my arts."
"Of course not," Xiulan replied testily, shooting her an annoyed look. "I continue to master my families cultivation art, and I have begun to practice our longer range combat art as well."
Ling Qi held back a grimace, she didn't mean to be insulting. "That sounds interesting," Ling Qi said instead, she could deflect and change the subject a little. "What sort of art is that?"
Xiulan eyed her for a moment and let out a huff, taking another bite of sweet ice powder. "The Radiant Lance art is one of our foundational arts, used to strike down distant foes with bolts from the heavens," she replied pridefully. "The full art is unmatched in the east."
"Huh, I never would have guessed you would use a heaven art," Ling Qi mused thoughtfully as she finished chewing another bite. She stretched out her legs letting her bare feet dangle over the edge of the porch. "I thought all of your families arts were fire."
The other girl huffed, pointing her spoon at Ling Qi as she spoke. "My family is not so simple as that," she said irritably, though she then glanced away. "It is a hybrid art of heaven and fire," she added in a lower tone. "Father sent the novice's slip along when I informed him of the spirit I had bound."
Ling Qi made a sound of understanding and glanced toward the sandy enclosure. She frowned a bit as she saw Zhengui trundling along, kicking up grit as he chased after the fluttering fire fairy, which dangled a smoking stick of fragrant wood just out of his reach. Should she… no she could feel an echo of agitation through their link, but it wasn't serious, there was a certain playfulness to the scene. "I hope that is all he sent along," she grumbled. "Don't think I've forgotten that nonsense about trying to hook me up with some cousin."
Xiulan gave a theatrical sigh. "Is the idea really that repulsive?" She asked, putting down the finished bowl and snatching up a plate of sachima before popping one of the little squares of fried batter and sugary syrup into her mouth. "Your closeness to Bai Meizhen will not ward off such things forever you know," she added after she had swallowed the treat.
"I don't need to think about that kind of thing," Ling Qi replied stubbornly, only to wince as she saw her friend's expression darken. "Well, more like I don't want too," she muttered, looking down. "I just got that creep Huang Da to give up."
Xiulan tsked under her breath. "I understand you don't like the boy, but why do you think he would do such a thing?" She asked with a hint of incredulity. "From what you have said of the encounter it is almost certain that you have drawn the attention of a potential suitor of higher rank."
Ling Qi paled a bit, shooting Xiulan a panicked look. The Huang Da were an old but declining count level house from what she had turned up. "What?"
"Well why else do you imagine the boy's father would interfere in something so petty," Xiulan replied, gesturing with one of the little wooden skewers that were stuck into the squares of sachima. "I can't say who it would be though," she mused. "There are no children from the Zheng clan among the sect as far as I am aware," Gu Xiulan mused. "Have you been approached by anyone of late?"
"No," Ling Qi replied, trying to think of anyone she had met recently who might have shown such an interest. Nothing came to mind though. "Lets leave that aside for the moment," she said quickly.
"As you wish," Xiulan said. "You cannot avoid the subject forever though. Father will order me to introduce you at some point though. I can promise that none of my cousins are so crude as that Huang though."
"Maybe I should ask Meizhen to fake something up," Ling Qi grumbled, it wasn't really a serious idea, particularly as things were, but it would be nice to keep such ideas far from everyones mind. "Anyway, what about you? How are things going with Han Jian? What was he up too last week?" In her haste to change the subject and keep it changed, Ling Qi jumped to the first thought that came to mind.
Her friends expression soured. "He has been quite busy," she replied irritably. "Too busy for either myself or Fan Yu. He discovered a trial site as far as I know. I imagine he is receiving training of some kind from it."
Ling Qi grimaced a bit, setting aside her plate to take a sip of her still warm tea. "I am sure he didn't mean anything by it. It makes sense to take family with you, right?" She didn't really get it, but from watching him she knew Han Fang was the only one Han Jian really seemed to properly confide in.
"Of course," Xiulan sniffed. "I am nothing special to him after all, merely a vassal to be directed, and occasionally humored" she said bitterly.
Frowning Ling Qi glanced to the side. "...I don't think he feels like that, even if he doesn't… feel quite the same as you," she replied awkwardly. "I've seen you two together, you are friends aren't you?"
"I do not want to be friends," Xiulan snapped, scowling at her. "I want him. I deserve that much do I not? I work hard, harder than anyone else, save perhaps my sister, and what do I get for it? Chained to a fool and an oaf," she continued harshly.
"Fan Yu isn't…" Ling Qi sighed, glancing away, she couldn't finish that sentence. She had thought the two of them were getting along, but Xiulan's disdain was apparently still strong. "I am sure you can change that. You've been getting stronger quickly lately, right?"
"And what good will it do me?" the other girls mood changed as quickly as it ever did as her shoulders slumped. "Jian promised me that I would always be at his side you know. It was a childish promise, but I believed it. Is it so wrong that I want him to look only to me? I tried so hard to scare away the tittering empty headed trash that his family tried to foist on him, and he always thanked me for it."
Ling Qi shrugged uncomfortably. "I… don't really know," what did one say in this kind of situation. Ling Qi had no idea. "I do think you should talk to him though. You shouldn't throw away a friendship so easily," she added quietly.
Xiulan was silent for a time, wrapping her arms around her knees. "It was him who threw it away," she said darkly. "That said he had never loved me like that," she replied bitterly. "As if he had never looked at me in that light, the liar." She shook her head, "I want no more of it."
Looking down, Ling Qi picked at her food. The mood had gone down fast. "I won't tell you what to do," she finally said after a moment. "There are plenty of handsome boys out there right? You keep telling me so. Sulking doesn't become a lady, right?" She added with false cheer.
Xiulan shot her an unamused look, but straightened up. "You are right in that at least. Shall we both drop such conversation then. You have so many delicious dishes here, it would a shame to leave them to waste."
Ling Qi sighed in relief, Xiulan's mercurial moods had swung in her favor for once. Still, she worried about her friend. In the end though the girls problems were not something she could change. They could only be resolved by the people actually involved. All she could do was support Xiulan as she made her choices.
They stayed up late into the night speaking of lighter things, and parted ways in the morning. It was time to plan her next weeks training.

Hah, four of the Moons have offers for us, that's not bad at all.
Grinning and Bloody both seem to be the ones that have the most immediate relevance (Execute a heist for intel and arts for Grinning, Bloody wants us to punish the one who created the Ling Qi puppet), though Guiding Moon having us either help Xuan with some formation stuff--or alternately, learn Formation crafting from him could be useful. New Moon seems to want us to find and take Elder Jiao's Trial--at least that's my bet given how Xin is his waifu, and based on her name, she's an aspect of the New Moon.
So many things to do, and so little time to do them! We have training, socializing, and politicking to do.
I'm partial to do the trial site before anyone else finds and takes it, as well as taking care of Zhengui, doing a moon mission, Meeting Hanyi's mother, training SCS. However, I'm sure that other plans will be drafted and there are also all of the social stuff to do.
