Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Music upgrade so good (what do you think the odds are that Xiulan has a similar "cultivation level" bonus around fire?)
And the FVM upgrades! Holy shit. AoE Diapason. Auto-cast. Single target buff to Elegy. Sound attacks.
This is fantastic. Also, now we can be a proper music cultivator!
And AE has such fantastic synergy with FVM. Now we're starting to get a nice looking build.
But enough about arts. A fantastic update all round. Zeqing in particular was great, and Xin continues to be awesome. Such a pity we couldn't see more of her. I wonder how we'll see more of Zeqing now that we've capped FVM for the moment? Will she be a minor?

1) i think LI Suyin minor is the cap on that questline. We'll probably get a SL upgrade and the opportunity to continue on those formations (if we don't get it directly)
2) absolutely, sadly the Shop hasn't been updated with any so far
3) she'll need to feel she's done something for Ling Qi before being able to recieve an other gift. And no book translation doesn't count as she's getting the formations out of it, and just asked a favor too.
I think he's more of a big grumpy teddy bear than really annoyed.
If this were a real grim universe i'd bet it was (multiple) rapes. As it is, maybe "just" getting beat up by "friends".
Have Xiulan trade AC for Han's AS -> have Ling Qi trade AM for Xiulan's AS.
I have a plan for that, actually. We say we want the right to train an additional person in AS, so we have to give Han Jian the right to train an additional person in AM. We agree that the person he can train is Gu, because we trust her.
It might work.
He already traded her for AC. it would be rather odd to trade it twice.

Actually yes.
He did say he wanted to stop being indecisive, didn't he?
I don't think it's "building up" to anything in particular. I think it's just an ongoing part of her personality. Not every personality trait is formed by some abrupt trauma, after all.

This doesn't work. There is only one slip.
The person with the slip can let another person learn from it, but this second person can't teach it herself. Nor unless she makes a new slip/Teaches it directly, which is something that requires considerable effort and can only be done after mastering the art.

Do you have a quote? because i really don't remember that. What did he trade her anyway ?
Same thing.
And even IF it's an issue we just need to have Xiulan take the AC slip with her for trading with Han's slip. Hardly an issue at all.

We still get the Argent Art drip to AM.

No, it is an issue.
If you teach an art to someone, you are teaching the art only to that someone, not to anybody else.
If we teach Han Jian AM, we certainly won't let him the slip so he teaches it to anybody he wants. We only let him the slip until he can train for himself, then take the slip back.
In the same way, if Han Jian teaches AS to Xiulan, that doesn't mean Xiulan can teach AS to us.
(Not to mention how unnapropiate the whole thing would be)

The reason he wanted to trade for mirror is because he can get current from gu.
That was week 43. We are now moving moving into week 45.
Technically, I suppose he could have sat on it for two weeks, but I doubt it.
If he doesn't pass it to Gu, there isnt a lot of point to the trade. Thunder is a body reinforcement art ideal for han and fang, both of which are melee combatants.
Unless your gambling on the idea that they all form some larger art, which is potentially possible, but requires we get all the arts.
Edit: mistype on the week. it was on 29, we're going on 31

Yes but I don't see AM in your plan:
How is that more inappropriate than Han trying to get two Argent Arts for his single one ? At least with my circular trading Xiulan does (and Ling Qi) get both arts. And I like Xiulan much more than Han.
Though if you have quote of your take of how the slip thing works i'm still interested.
And an argument on how Xiulan trading the AC slip for Han's AS slip is not viable is also interesting.
Even ignoring how we didn't see any mention of it even though we spent two weeks training with both Han and Xiulan, if Xiulan has AS then we should be able to trade AM for it, both getting the benefit from the AS art and have Xiulan get a (probably) needed mental stabilization Art too.
Won't work - we won't have any overflow for FZ because we'll have the spare heart meridians for FZ4 (just not to equip it).
So yeah, meridian week 32 is good - and if we don't do a job this week, we should do it next.
That sets up for Eightfold week 33, and we'll have the meridians to equip everything.
Nice of @yrsillar to let us get that spine meridian with overflow... It is kind of gaming the system tbh given that it allows us to essentially remove the risk from meridian opening actions. I'd be tempted to suggest that the mechanics should really be modified there so that if we are allowed to do this, we should have to do something like "gamble" the overflow. So if, say, we don't get enough overflow on the art we specified to open the meridian we lose it instead of being able to just send it on to qi regardless. That way there'd still be some risk.

Doesn't matter. That's why Vent is so powerful - we get the autos regardless. We've been doing that for months.
Yeah, if it just requires qi drain then that is some ridiculous synergy with FVM.
Ling Qi only rarely comments on arts the others use while training. assuming there would be an exception just because it's convenient for your plot of giving Gu AM seems like folly.

Because the thing is that slips aren't traded away. What is traded away is the right to use of the slip, only until the receiver is capable of keep training in their own. Nothing more.
Therefore, you can't trade an slip for another slip, and then give your new slip to another person.
Chained trades are impossible because there is only one slip.

Okay, nvm then. Seemed to me that we got the bonus to arts we were training.
On the contrairy, considering the last couple of updates had the Minor on trading AS it seems like a pretty reasonable assumption that Ling Qi would actually notice said Art being used in training.
Just like irl when you want to buy a specific dress you will notice someone else wearing it.
Why, thank you for agreeing with my point.

No, you misunderstand, we don't need to be Cultivating an Argent Technique to get the drip, we just have to have one learned that we haven't mastered yet, and then use the Vent.
And yet, if you only go by what we see during training, you'd think han hasn't added anything in twenty weeks.
Seriously. this is wishful thinking.
