Arm-guards and Saber have some great synergy if we pick up a couple wind techniques, and we can pick up all the (low level) wind techniques we want.

Which is actually down right creepy. We haven't' really done much with physical cultivation outside of Zhou's class but we reached the peak before spiritual cultivation.

We currently have 99 Red Stones in currency + useless pills, and another ~22 in low grade pills.

It would only reduce it once. Reductions stack though, so if you had the brooch and the veil you'd get two points off everything FVM does.

Not surprising, we have to do a lot of different things on spiritual, less so on physical.
Yeah my main issue is FVM, that's why I want to comission a real flute (not battle flute).
However:
If @yrsillar decides this apply to the Saber's wind projectile, we can actually use them pretty decently. We'll just have to switch them for the flute quickly, somehow. Not sure how.Zephyr's breath said:
She likes things being in style and she is a blood knight... This can only end well.
No, they don't work with that I'm afraid.
Zhou gave us Bear Marrow Elixer as part of his advanced class, making our physical cultivation rolls better than spiritual for several weeks. It's only natural that our physical cultivation advanced faster.
The astonishing thing, for me, is that spiritual cultivation progress is so close to peak at the same week we gained peak gold.

Alright then. Now, I'm a little confused by how we're splitting this, admittedly, but I'll try to make a bit of a start.
So, we have 9 starting red spirit stones, plus our loot. That leaves us with 64 Red Spirit Stones, and 2 Yellow worth 10 each. Might want to keep hold of those for when we move up to Yellow, though, so I'll leave them out.
With the 15 stones of assorted pills we sold, that comes to 79.
Furthermore, if we sell off the inferior Armguards and Vest, we'll defray our costs slightly. Call it roughly 10 more stones to spend, so 89 Red.
Now, I'm thinking we want to keep the Anklets, and the sabers. We should also get another accessory in preparation for Yellow, and I'm thinking the Ribbon, or we could commission a better Wind Talisman than the crappy armguards.
That leaves us with a sell list of:
Lifespring Staff for 50 stones.
Lotus Root Pin for 15 stones.
Warrior's Sash for 5 stones.
Mountainheart Guai for 35 stones.
50 + 15 + 5 + 35 = 105. 105/2 = 52.5. Rounded down to 52.
89 + 52 = 141
So that's our spending money, I think.
Assuming we go all in on the gown, that leaves us 91 Red Stones to play with, to buy drugs and a second talisman.

How did you get to 99 red stones? Is it from the sale of the talismans? Also, the useless pills have already been sold to be 15 red spirit stones.
Also, the question to trust Gu Xiulan is a silly question. Of course, I trust her ability to get us something fashionable and deadly!

Colour me shocked.
SHOOT.
What happened to the water sash?
Lotus Pin + Water Sash would have effectively made us become qi neutral for most FVM techniques.
As is, I'm strongly tempted to look for earth/mountain arts using the guai because it + lotus pin would make us qi neutral (and armor piercing. and DV10. how does DV work?) for any techniques 4 qi and under which is kind of nuts. 5 qi techniques would cost 1. They're so good I wuoldn't be surprised if Xiulan wanted to offer them to Fan Yu.
That sort of advantage shouldn't be be underestimated given how important qi is. It's probably how Xiulan could spam fire techniques all day back during the test. Qi reduction item + qi recovery item.

If you get more successes on attack than your opponent gets on defence, you do that number in damage, up to the weapon's DV.
Reductions are all to a minimum of one, tho.
We have plenty of red stones anyway. Even if we blow 50 stones on it, if we sell the other talismans (of which, I think only the anklets are a must keep), we're going to get another 70 stones even after splitting it with Xiulan (and not counting the +20 from the original pills). It's fine.
These are paired sabers by the way. Using a saber vs. using paired sabers are completely different styles. I'd rather sell them.
And apparently, we can only use 1 accessory at red.

We should definitely buy an Argent elixir, and bear marrow elixir, Those would make cultivating physical much more useful and efficient.
As to Fan Yu getting the sabers, I don't want to do that. If we wanted to gift the sabers to someone, gift them to Su Ling, the fox girl. She has taken a liking to sabers recently and would firm up a beneficial relationship rather than trying to rebuild a bridge that has long since burned down.

No wonder she was shocked that Ling Qi was still standing.

Water Sash was the talisman of Ice Girl. We could trade for it because she was wanting to get the staff back for her vengeful friends.

Yeah that's why Throwing Knives are currently the best for that, especially as it was confirmed the Throwing Knives mastery worked in Melee.
Anyway, I am really, really thinking of selling everything but anklet and our current knives, get best spirit gown, get heart brooch. That should leave us 50 or so to comission a good playing flute.

Should also consider getting medicine for the L damage we took here. WE can afford to have it all reduced in case of another fight.
Plus, you know, medicines in general, especially since when we hit Yellow/Silver, we'll want to prepare for another training frenzy, and being able to combine that with Argent Soul progression would be shiny.

Probably should get even more in case Meizhen/Li Suyin/Su Ling need them.
