This is me reverting to an earlier version of the requirement, before I upped it and forgot to edit my notes.
So, you only get 16 cc from that action.

So, you only get 16 cc from that action.
oh well, the other Action was the moneymaker anyway.
Anything on my previous question?
You cant buy a pill furnace yet (not enough standing, nor cc) but if you do get one it would allow for batch brewing.

If we had a spare point of Reflection Qi I'd be tempted to spend a point of Pure Qi first to get as close as possible to QC3 Mid without actually hitting it, then spending the Reflection point to get as far into QC3 Mid as possible, considering the latter then requires two Qi per action?
Probably too complicated to be worth it though.
As is I can see us going for Reflection Qi for Low-Mid, Water for Mid-High, then either Water again for High-Peak or a Willow drop pill to save on Qi.
Except we, or junior at least, did do that
This is one of Juniors actions locked for next turn already.
I am just not clear if we can tap it in without ruining the Reflection Qi. If one more use completes it than it would be one reflection and one of something else (probably water). So if we want it to clear with reflection we likely have to just WAIT on mid QC3 and bring it in turn after next turn (or an Omake bonus more likely).
So likely an Omake bonus next turn finishes mid-QC3 and than we do high and Peak using Water Qi with Qi ghosts in the turns after next turn... if junior is still kicking after the event.
Of course Next turn ghosts will probably crank out a LOT of body refining with the fire Qi we have.

As I understand it Guang Li's action this turn that would've gone to breaking through instead went to Condensing towards QC3 Mid from Low, which used this turns Reflection Qi point because no one else used it.
Then uri decided to lock in next turn's Reflection Qi point to the same, which got him to 126/135 towards QC3 Mid, so using 1 point of Water right now still leaves it with a Reflection qi majority.

Good news, we get an extra +1 to all ghost BR rolls so between that and the fire Qi this should be at 52/60 to Refined Nerves II.
Already added it in. I rolled 12, plus the 1 makes 13 which is doubled to 26
And someone spent a +10 omake bonus to finish it so its done either way.

Yeah, you're right. I think I mixed it up with the 24 already there.
This turns roll was 5,4,5 +5+1=20, x3 to 60/135. The second roll was 10,4,4+5=23, x3 to 69, so I think the final result should be 129/135?
Ok. How would we get that standing and what would it cost? I'm assuming at least grade 3 alchemist?

Not currently, you're missing the knowledge to do that and not get Li blowen up.

Luckily we have a decent supply of fire qi to use on muscle training right there.
Looks good. And that sword of ours is pretty impressive as well, will no doubt be good to have in whatever kind of fight breaks out at the end of the coming turn

Between that and the heart guang can get a +30 to combat rolls , which is very nice.
Though I do hope we can at least scrounge together upgrading his combat this turn so he can get that extra die.
five. 10 if gaung Li invests an action into lerning a skill.
The distance to the next level for combat is 81, we might not need lessons if we can get enough Wisdom ghosts focused on it. With average rolls we'd just need 11-12, that's entirely doable!

On one hand yes , otoh guang income did skyrocket, someone better at math and planning then me will have to budget it of course , but purchasing lessons might be the best option we got after the qi formation.
Or combat boosting pills considering his alchemy. Just make them so the duration lasts the same length as blood surge.
Hey, do we have a recipe for a pill to mitigate the downside of blood surge? Cause like even if it doesn't help the battle, something which soothes like that would make him more willing to use it and since it still has to get premade it's still a weakness to the technique and of course the pill probably cannot fully undo the problem anyway.

-Breakthrough (80/100): 80+8+8+6+7=109/100 Breakthrough 2 Achieved!
Learning the required Qi control for breaking though stages has been an eye-opening experience for Guang Li.
Hew knew the theory, the skill required picking up as much Qi as you could, condensing it down and bashing it at the appropriate obstacle.
Simple but in practice there are many small tricks and efficiencies that could be made to ensure a successful breakthrough.
All of which could only be learned by practice, mind numbing practice.
But Guang Li preserves and months alter he has reached a substantial increase to his skill.
Breakthrough 2 achieved.
Craft a Qi Siphon
-Yin (136/170): 136+9+8+8+11=172/170 +1 Yin Qi Siphon
Gather Qi
-Pure (1/3): 5+7+5+6+7+3+3+9=45*1.6=72.0+1=73.0/3 +24 Pure Qi
-Yin (14/17): 5*1.6=8+14=22/17 +1 Yin Qi
-Water (7/9): 6*1.6=9.6+7=16.6/9 +1 Water Qi
Cut Away Life (2/25): 5+9+10=24*1.4=33.6+2=35.6/25 -3 HP, +1 Blood Qi
Over the course of months, the ghosts of the Guang have toiled away at creating a Yin siphon in-between their efforts at gathering Qi, finally achieving a passive gathering of their most important Qi type.
Additionally, the small but constant pull of Yin Qi into Guang Li has been passively enriching his spirt and bloodline, providing the ancestors much needed nourishment.
Diving into the knowledge of collective the ancestors have discovered that the section that should have detailed this knowledge was missing, which is why they did not know of its benefit.
This is far from the first time a section of the collective has proven not just broken but completely missing and the ancestors cannot help but wonder what knowledge they do not know they are missing.
+1 Yin siphon. (+1 Yin per turn, +1 to all rolls of the Guang ancestors).
Net +6 pure Qi, +2 water Qi, +2 Yin Qi, +1 blood Qi.
Refine Guang Body:
-Nerves (24/60): 24+26+10=60/60 -2 Fire Qi
Once more Guang Li cycled fire though his body, purifying impurities and enhancing his nerves.
Compared to last time though the process was much more comfortable, a result of both his advancing cultivation and just plain old patience in not pushing as fast.
Gain nerves II (fire).
Attempt To Breakthrough: 1 Pass -2 Yang Qi Breakthrough Successful!
Further Refine A Basic Weapon (18/50): 18+8+5+8+8+11=58/50 -15 Pure Qi, Weapon Refined!
Once more Have the ghost of the Guang pitted their will and power against the chains of heaven and once more has the chain yielded before their might.
Cracking ever slightly more.
With this breakthrough the power of heaven infused in Guang Li has also been dislodged, infusing itself into the sword the ancestors have spent the past refining into greater heights.
Turning it into a true artifact, one which pierces through armor without problem.
Advance to Q3 low (yang), gain the sword that pierces heaven, a t1 artifact. Remove the energy of heaven modifier.
Restless Anger (5/8): 5+4=9/8 -1 HP, +1 to all Li actions
Silent Hunters (2/13): 2+12=14/13 +1 CC
The ghosts of wrath have -aside from refining- chosen to help Guang Li in gathering contribution points, imbuing them with their anger to help him stay focus while brewing and some even going and gathering some small critters for contribution points directly.
Their efforts were minor compared to Guang Li efforts at alchemy, spending day and night next to the pill furnace in the alchemy hall. Dicing slicing, crushing and all-around preparing and brewing hundreds of pills of the course of a month.
Most were sold to the alchemy hall itself but many were kept by Guang Li for cultivation.
Furthermore, one of the inner disciples overseeing the lower ranked alchemists has seen his dedication both o alchemy and to the elders promoting to advance his cultivation.
And provided him a single pill as a reward, a seven-flame purification pill intended to use when one is cultivating their body. As well as advising him to focus on his strength to leave the limits of mortality behind.
Gain +122 cc (60 goes to paying of debt), 51 fire Qi pills. Gain seven flame purification pill (+1 to body refining rolls per dice, completing body refining stages with fire Qi adds an additional +1 to the highest attribute gained in the refinement after the bonus of the fire Qi). 60/135 to QC3 mid.
Rumor mill.
Meng Qi returns- the general recall order issued by the sect master has seen young master Meng Qi return from wherever his relatives hidden him, the time away seemed to have done him some good his cultivation rising by one stage and his body becoming further refined. Rumors say that he is tight lipped about where he's been and has not yet spoken about it despite the impressive result which it had given him.
Lack of sect jobs- with all of the disciples returning to sect lands the competition for jobs has dramatically increased and with the prohibition to leave sect lands the number of missions issued has been reduced making it difficult for the younger generation to find work, as the few missions issued are horded by the older and more advanced disciples.
War for the Guang land intensifies- it seems like every other day the sect hears about a clash between core formation cultivators, old and reliable cultivators all ducking out over the land of the Guang and if the elders have devoved into open fighting armies are already marching. The next few years are going to be harsh ones.
