I mean, there's a pretty clear division among the supporters of Cai and Sun. Cai has all the shadowy Darkness cultivators (Ling, Huang, maybe Bai and maybe Xuan have an incidental Darkness art) and Sun has Ji Rong, Kang Zihao, and Chu Song, all of which are the Heaven cultivators of the year other than GF and Cai. (Yan Renshu is maybe there, maybe on his own...)
My problem there is I don't believe we'll have time to get a real look, and that they won't change things if they know we got in.
I can't help but feel all of these are horrible ideas.
In that case, we should strongly consider trading it to Xuan Shi / Gan Guali / Han Jian. Assuming they have a talent of ~4, it represents something like 2.5x as much value for them than for us. Surely they have some of their own rare pills that they would be willing to trade for it?
Realistically speaking, we aren't going to get to Cyan before 3 IRL years or so. That's meta, but.... Also, I have high hope that by that time we find other things.
Doing the mission was a horrible idea. The last one is the closest we have to admitting it and not getting caught up with sunk costs.
Also a pretty clear warning from yrsillar I'd say. Dreams showed us that people can resist our techniques. Now he's again showing that people can dispel them as well.
I did, here. The one that reduces breakthrough difficulty saves us a meager 1 action on average; the one that gives us a breakthrough reroll and negates failure gives us 2.5 actions. So that is 2/3 of a week in total, at least if you only count major actions?
I'll run the sims this evening. Lot of potential there.
Getting caught is escapable, but is essentially mission failure as the reason we are here is to scout the defenses and activities. If they know we were sneaking around, they'll change up their patrol patterns and whatnot. Getting caught makes what we report to Cai far less useful.
Our bone constructs can't fly.
This actually annoyed me quite significantly. This sort of attitude should be indicative of a empathy 1 character, not an empathy 4 nearing 5 which is peak mortal ability; it particularly shouldn't be the case when the person in question kept a comparatively useless memento in her flute all that time she was on the streets instead of selling it and whom there was an decision point of what to do with the remains of it. I would expect that sort of attitude as mentioned to come from a low empathy wealthy character who had lived an stable life; not Ling Qi, thus for me it's reaching almost caricature levels of bad given I remember similar things being referenced in the past.
I think that is WILDLY optimistic.
To be fair, the exact same thing goes for the skelemice. But they're more likely to be caught.
That seems like a good way to spend an hour every night. Pissing them off, keeping them awake and draining resources to make more globes every day.
No. Actually i don't think so. When making a defensive formation you mostly put the measures around the place you're going to use. For exemple, you put a giant wall a moat and a drawbride around a house(/castle), not in between each room of your house.
All yellow tier people are non-issues in Ling Qi just wants to run. Heck, she ran away from a Green that was trapping her in a room in the heart of his own den! And that was before the latest speed bonus.
I know! Convenient, right ?
Father pill for AS Art ? I know some people don't want him to have AM as he's going to be competition very soon.
We should definitely think about trading it. I'm fairly unsure how that would work though.
I really doubt trying to study them would work - most likely it wouldn't do anything, but I think it would be far more likely that we would destroy the pills for no gain then to be able to recreate them.
People keep bringing this idea up, over and over and over. WHY? Where are people getting the idea that if we hand our friends a copy of a pill, they can reverse-engineer it to get the recipe? That's certainly not something that you can do in most xianxia, at least unless you are a really high level crafter.
