Pretty sure we can only make siphons for Qi we have roots for, which in Guang Li's case is Pure, Water or Yin.

You assume that our cheats will all work exactly as well in this low-qi area - the one where everyone else's cheats just sputter and fail. I don't know that that's necessarily a correct assumption.
We have roots for a lot more than that, it's just that they're terrible roots, so it's enormously harder, so it's not worth it.
We have been told by the vote option that our "Cheats" can sidestep many of the issues.
If we start a sect, we'd also need to explain how we've got all this knowledge and/or why we should be the ones to lead the sect to anyone that follows us from the Verdant Flame. We would hopefully have our friends to back us up, but even they would be curious. Right?
E: We don't have to be truthful, but we might expect curiosity at least.

Also, if you want anyone else to benefit from the efforts of the ancestors (like, say, trying to arrange so that their cultivation doesn't stagnate in this qi-deprived area) then we'll also have to explain how we did that.

[] Poison Fang Valley- Sitting in the middle of a mountainous region, the valley is known for being home to any number of venomous fauna and poisonous flora of moderate strength, many of which have at least some use in alchemical recipes. The locals are hardy and suspicious of outsiders, but those who demonstrate an ability to survive can earn a degree of respect, and those who thrive can earn even more.

[] The Aure plains- otherwise known as the weakest region, the ambient Qi here is so low that to even make it into Foundation establishment is almost unheard off. the natural treasures are likewise weak and unimpressive. Alchemy and the ancestors can sidestep many of the problems and with a good amount of disciple following Guang Li they would be a potent force in the region. Which can lead to either joining a sect at a high position or even founding their own.

Looked into it:
Manual tally isn't honoring the 4h Moratorium, counting from the first post after your threadmark, rather than the first post after 4h have passed from thrradmark.
While Automatic does honor 4h moratorium.
There is 1 post made before moratorium was up (but edited after moratorium), which would be included in manual tally but not in automatic.
Hmm… I'm pretty sure the votes were edited later, I remember passing over it and the [] were blank at the time.
And it's a good way as any to break the tie.
Shards of the Guang- shop.
New
Through freeing your chained brethren in the recant event, the collective has managed to gather 6 shards of the ancestors. Which they may now use to repair the collective.
Please vote in plan format, I'm going to give another 4 hours moratorium to allow some discussion and contemplation of the offered options.
You don't have to spend all of the shards right this minute, after this vote, this post is going to go for the informational and you could come back and buy things whenever. And as you unlock things (either through here or by progressing through your trees) more options will be added.
Our next stop is Poison valley, which may or may not influence what you want to buy.
Skills. (this unlocks not only teaching Guang Li the skill but also ancestor specific actions).
[] Herbalism- the skill for growing and tending for spiritual herbs.
[] Beast taming- the skill for taming beasts for labor, combat or for harvesting.
[] Stealth [advanced]- the skill for evading Qi senses and perception techniques.
[] talisman making [advanced] - the skill for creating talismans, consumable scripts that influence the world around them.
[] Qi sense [advanced]- the skill for sensing Qi in the surroundings. Useful for both detecting enemies and finding treasure.
[] spiritual butcher- the upgrade of the butcher skill, utilizing small amount of Qi spun in a specific manner to retain more of the spirit beast power within its body.
[] doctor [rare]- the skill for treating wounds for enhanced individuals, limited without relevant techniques but still needed for a good doctor.
Ancestors' actions/knowledge-
[] Meridian creation (flesh crafting) (3 shards)- a secret stolen from the Infinite Mountain sect long ago, utilizing advanced principles of flesh crafting and high knowledge and awareness of the body the ancestors of the Guang may create a new meridian system in Guang Li body, it would be small, far smaller than the natural body but separate as both systems would be they would not influence the difficulty of opening one another. Gain graft artificial meridian system planning [0/250] (wisdom) and graft artificial meridian system [0/300] when the previous project is done. Once complete Guang Li may open up to 5 meridians on a new track (basically the difficulty increase from one doesn't affect the other).
[] the tenth Qi condensation stage- a secret stage, known to few on the continent. With secret knowledge and mastery one can push forward even after fully expanding their dantian, condensing a powerful drop of Qi and utilizing to fully shatter a chain of heaven earning their enmity but removing the shackles imposed upon the cultivator.
[] The eleventh Qi condensation stage [Requires the tenth]- an additional secret stage, the second of four, allowing one to fully shatter a chain of heaven.
[] Binding of heaven- instead of shattering or bending the chains of heaven with secret knowledge one can strike a binding with heaven and reinforce a chain into an unbreakable bond. This chain will never bend or break, forever tying down the cultivator but for willing to succumb to heavens laws the cultivator earns its favor. The harsher the chain the more favor afforded.
[] Mantling- a secret of the Guang, the act of mantling allows the ancestors to -briefly- possess Guang Li body just enough to guide and correct his mistakes, allowing the ancestors greater skill to supplement his own. (in mechanical terms, Guang Li will get a bonus to his rolls, that bonus scales by how far down a knowledge tree the ancestors got).
[] Bloodline reinforcement (2 shards)- through the use of copious amounts of Shen, one's bloodline can be thickened providing a multitude of benefits.
[] Blood spilling cycle- a secret technique of the Guang bordering the demonic, when blood is spilled by Guang Li the ancestors may gather it a small portion of it for later use, this technique is incredibly refined and dos not posses the many dangers and downside normally apparent in such techniques. It is also almost completely undetectable.
[] breath of the Guang [2 shards]- using esoteric knowledge and refinements over millennia's, the Guang ancestors can supplement Guang Li breathing from the realm of the dead, effectively increasing the number of meridians dedicated to the breathing technique. (this is an active action of the ghosts).
[] Twelve cuts to topple the heavens, the first cut to open the way- stolen from the Sword Ascendant sect at great cost, the Guang ancestors know the first technique of its main manual, the first cut to open the way is a technique which calls upon the sword Dao to penetrate and nullify defensive artifacts or techniques and is the first of a sequence of twelve. This technique requires no Qi, merely understanding a far rarer substance.
Recipes/artifacts blueprints. (feel free to ask for possible artifacts/pills this is just giving you examples).
[] Pill of the open Dantian- a special pill that eases the opening of the second dantian. 1 rare herb, 15 common herbs. [hard] (requires double the points to brew). -10 to the dc of opening the first/second/third dentian. Each additional pill taken for the same dentian after the first gives half the benefit. (so -5 then -2 then -1).
[] Pill of the surging heart- a powerful pill meant to supplement the blood refined heart, both pushing it harder and reducing the strain it puts on the body. 5 rare herbs, 1 notable rare herb (blood), 50 common herbs. Halve the HP penalty of blood surge, double the benefit and add 50% to its duration.
[] Bell of the honored dead- most of the Guang ancestors are slumbering withing the realm of the dead, few manage to hold interest in their descendants for long periods of time, ringing this bell draws their attention and wakes them from their slumber for a limited time, saving their descendant from peril. 100 progress (wisdom), 50 progress (Qi), 50 progress (wrath), 100 CC (or its equivalent in materials), 50 pure Qi, 10 Yin Qi. A lifesaving treasure sufficient for anything below NS. Ringing the bell may injure The Guang who rung it, as too many ancestors are channeled through their body.
General upgrades (may be bought multiple times)- instead of something specific the ancestors could recall many techniques and tricks of efficiency and effectiveness.
[] General body refining knowledge [max 3]- +1 to body refining rolls per ghost.
[] General Qi condensation knowledge [max 5]- +1 to Qi condensation rolls per ghost.
[] General Qi gathering knowledge [max 5]- +1 to Qi gathering rolls per ghost.
Repairs- alternatively the shards may be spent to repair sections the Guang already posses (1 shard= 250~ progress.

Chain of hunger- this dictates that the mortal must consume of the world to survive.

Chain of rest- the heavens dictate that all mortals must fall into slumber least their bodies fail them. on breaking the cultivator body no longer requires sleep. on binding the cultivator would never reduce the amount of rest his body requires and as he advances, he may require even more rest to ensure his body stays in top shape.
The chain of age- the heavens dictates that all men grow old and frail in time. on breaking the cultivator will not age, their life line can still run out so they can still die form old age but they will not grow frail the grasp of time slipping its hold on them. On binding, the cultivator will age like a mortal, they will still be able to live for several lifetimes but their bodies will grow frail and weak in time.
The chain of earth- the even dictate that all mortals are drawn to the earth from which they came. On breaking, the earth no longer calls upon the cultivator allowing him to reach for the sky (and fly), on binding no longer can the cultivator leave the ground for more than brief instances, he will never soar through the sky and even his leaps would be reduced the earth calling on him to return.

Well this very very interesting, and now I am really happy the ones who went for full danger won giving us 6 shards to work with.
those 4 seem great and something that will synergies quite well.

Tempted to spend at least one shard here, maybe two.
1 could unlock bloodline knowledge and up our decryption score with 5 progress leftover.
2 could complete Bloodline knowledge and Revealing the event track permanently with 12 progress leftover.
I'd rather go for the latter, I know everything else is legitimately very shiny but I can't imagine we won't have more opportunities to earn ancestor shards in the future, and I don't want to be blindsided like this again.
EDIT:
Is chain of thirst an option for binding? If we go back for Water dew (below) then that could be manageable, especially with Li's water siphon.
Unless having a technique to mitigate the effects of a binding reduces the favour we'd get?

Well this looks useful. Especially given that blood Qi is some of the best we can get.
Ok, so, mostly looking at stuff for our long-term potential at the moment since we have the Alchemy skill to at least get by, so here's my plan:
[] Plan Legacy of Guang
-[] the tenth Qi condensation stage- a secret stage, known to few on the continent. With secret knowledge and mastery one can push forward even after fully expanding their dantian, condensing a powerful drop of Qi and utilizing to fully shatter a chain of heaven earning their enmity but removing the shackles imposed upon the cultivator.

-[] breath of the Guang [2 shards]- using esoteric knowledge and refinements over millennia's, the Guang ancestors can supplement Guang Li breathing from the realm of the dead, effectively increasing the number of meridians dedicated to the breathing technique. (this is an active action of the ghosts).
If I had to make a change, it'd probably be swapping out for Qi Sense and Doctor from the skills catalogue, we're early enough that the 10th and 11th stages of QC aren't going to be super relevant for a while, but given we are the bloodline, and how much effort gathering Qi takes, I'd definitely suggest Blood refinement and Breath as a definite.

It is, I just gave a few examples.
Why would they care? The heavens care about people being/breaking their chains not for how you get enough water to survive.
Not that you even need it, water is plentiful after all.

This technique requires no Qi, merely understanding a far rarer substance.
A combat boost that does not cost Qi is rare so would be one of my picks as we focussed a lot on alchemy and not combat we should get this boost before leaving.
We should also consider how hard something is to get later and how soon we can use it. I suspect that the demon cultivator attacks will continue giving us options to pick up more shards later.
[] Mantling- a secret of the Guang, the act of mantling allows the ancestors to -briefly- possess Guang Li body just enough to guide and correct his mistakes, allowing the ancestors greater skill to supplement his own. (in mechanical terms, Guang Li will get a bonus to his rolls, that bonus scales by how far down a knowledge tree the ancestors got).
This is a bonus that will apply right and work every turn.
[] General Qi gathering knowledge [max 5]- +1 to Qi gathering rolls per ghost.
The average roll of a 2D6 is 7 adding +1 to that would speed up Qi gathering a lot.
and save the others till we get to the valley and have a better idea how common skill teachers are for example.

Not really, most dedicated hunters pick it up sooner or later.
doctor makes the most sense cause we're going to posion valley. it will be the skillset most helpful to us in that new environment as a rogue cultivator before we get into a new sect

The idea here is to get the stuff we probably can't get anywhere else.
We've got the extra Qi condensation stages that are really useful for removing limits, and giving us a better foundation.
then we've got the bloodline refinement that we can use to get more options later, or just do cool stuff. We are the bloodline right now.
We've also got the blood spilling cycle, because that gets us blood qi, one of the best types we have access to that also happens to be a pain to get. I want to start making ectoplasms (blood+yin) and get some bonkers ghost physique.
Then the Qi condensation knowledge because… well that adds up doesn't it?

I'd be happy to not spend any shards on learning skills here, anything that seems interesting Guang Li can try learning from whatever sect we end up joining.
Doctor might be useful considering it's rare, but we can still make healing pills with Alchemy so I don't see it as a big concern.
-[] Bloodline reinforcement (2 shards)- through the use of copious amounts of Shen, one's bloodline can be thickened providing a multitude of benefits.
This calls out needing Shen to reinforce it, so it feels like something we should leave for later? We're not going to be opening our second dantian anytime soon.
