The wrath ghosts will ge more options next turn, but you did raise an interesting point.
With the qi dc rising every turn, and the comparative ease to get cc, it might be more economical to focus on qi and meridians and to use
pills to advance from here.
Its a question for our math ghosts really.
mh...
let me check a bit
[] Buy A willow drop pill (advance a single sub stage in you QC stage) for 10/20/40/80** CC.
[ ] Gather Qi [0/3]. Gain 1 Qi. (every 3 points of progress here give 1 point of Qi).
[ ] Condense Qi in Guang Li Dantian. Cost 1 Qi per time taken [4/100]. Advance to QC 2 mid.
20 CC for one sub-stage.
on average, we get 7 progress per ghost (when on their specialty.
so, 100/7= 29 ghosts to advance one stage, and then that requires 29 qi, which is another (29*3)/7= 13 ghosts.
double that for QC-high (doubles the cost of qi, so 26 ghosts) and TRIPLE that for QC-peak (39 ghosts).
if, absurdly, we used those 42 ghosts on the action to get CC by hunting minor spirits... that's 42*3.5= 147 progress, or 14 CC worth of reward.
55 ghosts (for QC2-high) would instead be 55*3.5= 192.5.
but I'm using qi and wisdom ghosts for it. Once you consider we're using ALSO a lot of wrath ghosts that CHANGES things...
at a first glance it seems to me that, for QC2-high and QC-2-peak, we're actually better off with the 20CC pill, using the ghosts that would otherwise gather and condense Qi to instead
gather more CC through the wrath action.
...or, more reasonably, we can just do something like this
QI GHOSTS
I'd say do the QC2-mid normally (and probably it applies to all QCx-mid sub-stages), but after that work on meridians or maybe body refinement...
WISDOM
I'd say "map Guang Li Body" so we can start doing body refining more efficiently
WRATH
Until we get the new options, get more CC. Wrath Ghosts are apparently better suited to reach High and Peak QC stages than Qi ghosts, ironically enough
Even with a magical bloodline pretty much designed to aid in one's advancement money still speaks. Being rich trully is the best superpower.
Truly. if someone could just buy those pills then they can use all their free time on better stuff that can't quite be delegated to pills.
Like learning techniques, for example, or socializing.
