oh, right, if it's 0/50 to Peak then we can make it, yeah.
as for shopping, body refinement elixir should probably be saved for when GUANG is cultivating himself.
Boosting a 3d10 + "I forget our bonus" would be better than boosting a ghost's 2d6.
also ideally we'd be doing it after finishing mapping the body, of course. But it can wait, in the short term QC cultivation is just better than body refining. If the progress required goes up by a lot that might change in QC 2 or 3
I agree with most of this; only thing's I'd add is that going for Breakthrough 1 might be worth it as well depending on how the mechanics works, and I'm not sure Restless Anger is worth it if we go into the Sect Test injured; @uri if we take Restless Anger actions in Turn 3 (next turn) does that give Guang the bonus in the Sect Test?
[X] The broken, the sorrow, the wrath.
[X] Restless anger- infuse the anger of your demise into Guang Li body and soul and let him push beyond his limits at a cost. [9/10] +1 to all of Guang actions this turn per completion of this action. -1 Hp per time taken.
An: Took me a bit but I've finished it, now excuse me as I go edit in a very basic character sheet.
REFINE THE BLOODLUST: 31/100.
Anger, the ancestors know of anger, know of wrath.
It is a vesicular thing born of death and loss. Raw and unmotorable yet control it they must.
Slowly the ancestors work on transforming the raw anger into something more.
They refined it form its raw form into something more elegant, sharp and deliberate. CULTIVATION SKILL: 36/25, COMBAT SKILL:76/50,
In the ear of Guang Li do the ancestors whisper, they whisper corrections and knowledge.
Drawing from the vast repository of a thousand lives, slowly they teach him of the art of combat and cultivation.
The skills needed for his survival.
The combat skill increased to Lv 3 and the cultivation skill advanced to Lv 2. SCOUT THE MERIDIAN BLOCKAGES: 35/50
Gently, Qi is cycled throughout Guang Li body mapping out all the concentrations of impurities.
For someone of Li skill such an act would have resulted in the loss of Qi yet with the sublime mastery of over a thousand lifetimes the ancestors of the Gunag cycle the Qi through his body and deposit it back in the dantain with nary a drop less.
FIND OUT PROBABLE OPPONENTS: 27/25 DONE.
Finding out who exactly it would be that Guang would fight is a hard task, one wich is almost impossible, as there are hundreds of new outer sect disciples which must be crossed out.
Unless of course, a ghost could look over the shoulder of the elder charged with preparing the test and read the document of the match pairings as they were written.
Three names were plucked form that most secret of documents.
Quing Ling, daughter of the Quing clan she is beyond Guang Li ability even with the ancestors help. Her cultivation alone surpasses him by leaps and bounds already at the third stage of Qi condensation and as a clan scion her skill would be beyond that of the average outer sect scrub.
The ancestors waste no time one seeking her out and instead move to the next two names in the list.
Ma Rong and Yu Feng.
Both belong to no clan and although their cultivation is more advanced then Guang Li (both standing at the second stage of the Qi condensation realm, one at low and the other high respectively) initial scouting has revealed that their skill is not so beyond him.
With the ancestors help of course.
The three opponents-
Quing Ling: QC3-high, skill: ??? (presumably very high)
Ma Rong: QC2-low, Skill: 4.
Yu Feng: QC2-high, skill:6.
RESTLESS NIGHTS: 5
With their targets known the ancestors of Guang focus their wrath and displeasure on the two opponents that Guang Li possesses a chance against.
To little effect, maybe a few bags under the eyes for a day or two.
The effort invested was just too little to achieve something meaningful.
Ma Rong and Yu Feng suffer a very slight malus to their advancement during turn 3.
GATHER QI: 55/3= +18 QI and 1/3 to the next point.
Once more the ancestors drink of the worlds blood, drawing the energy necessary to advance.
+18 Qi. CONDENSE QI: 55/50 to QC-1-high.
Advancing through a stage of Qi condense requires condensing a more danse drop of Qi.
This drop of Qi is absorbed by the dantian and by so strengthens and expands it. unknown to mere outer disciples this act also reinforces one's presence within the endless scrolls of heaven.
As above, so below.
The world bows to the heavens command and so the cultivator becomes greater.
This is known to the ghosts and as they watch the newly condensed drop of Qi absorbed, they notice strange fluctuations in Guang Li connection to the heavens.
Perhaps once they knew what it might have meant but lesser as they are they do not.
Guang Li rises to QC1-high. +1 to all attributes, +2 to Qi reserves.
Sweep left, sweep right. Push the blossom leaves off the staircases and paved roads of the alchemy pavilion.
Gunag Li has spent the last three hours sweeping away at the large of compound of the alchemy division of the outer sect and he will spend three more if he wants his contribution points.
He didn't mind, it was an easy enough job and it paid decently -mostly because most cultivator though it was below their honor- besides it gave the time to acquaint himself with the outer sect members of the alchemy Pavilion.
Sure, it was nothing more them a simple hallo and hey there but it was good to be on positive terms with those who make the pills.
Instinctively, Guang Li steps to the side and bows, allowing the elder who is strolling up the stairs to pass with no obstacle and showing the proper respect.
Exapt, the elder doesn't pass him by but rather stops besides him.
Guang Li remains bowed, perhaps the elder has seen something interesting in the trees that surrounded the stairs and when he grows bord he will leave.
And so, Guang Li waits, hoping for the elder to continue on his way.
A few heart wrenching moments later and Gunag Li risked a subtle glance only to despair as the elder was still there and looking straight at him.
There was no choice, the elder was clearly here for him "This disciple greets his elder" he can feel his ancestors whispering in his ear and feels relic at not being alone in the elder gaze -even if he can't actually see them.
The elder for his part, just strokes his long and gray beard as if in deep in thought. Guang Li dares not speak, least he courts death.
"Disciple" the elder begins "are you not the one who cleaned this stairway every day for the last week?"
"Yes, elder!" Guang Li all but shouted his answer, wishing to stay the least possible amount of time under the elder gaze.
"Hmm… is it not currant policy for the maintenance missions to be rotated?"
"Rotated elder?" Gunag Li nervously replied.
"Yes rotated, shouldn't you have switched with the others who took the mission?'
"Others. Elder… its just me who took the mission."
"Just you" the elder asked sounding flabbergasted "for the whole compound?"
"Yes elder."
"Hmm… well I suppose such diligence deserves to be rewarded, here" Guang Li rushed to catch the small jade bottle thrown his way. When he returned his gaze to the elder, he found the man has disappeared.
Guang Li glanced at the small bottle he has been granted; he wouldn't know what kind of pill it was -such an appraisal was beyond his skills- but his ancestors would know.
So, he put it in one of his robes inner pockets and returned to his job.
Once again Gung Li dos grunt work for the sect, he gains another 4 CC (now at 8) an passes the DC to increase his opinion with the outer sect which is now at 2 (opinion is added to all rolls where what people think of you matters).
Additionally, thanks to his high fellowship roll as well as a positive event Guang Li has been gifted a pill, specifically.
A Calm Qi pill, this pill gives +2 to all QC breakthroughs attempts this turn.

EDIT: Also this. EDIT2: Huh, nevermind!
[-] Buy a healing elixir for 2 contribution point
It's better for Qi ghosts to focus on condensing so we hopefully reach peak; I don't know if we can beat Qi 2-high guy but we want to lock in the other Qi-2 low at least. Wrathful ghosts splitting between restless nights and refining bloodlust should work well.
[X] Purchase a spiritual roots examination service (Instantly complete the map spiritual roots action) for 8 CC.
[X] Teach Guang Li.
-[X] Combat. [26/75]. Raise the combat skill to 4.
Indeed, it dos, you can still get QC-peak, the actions aren't in order so they all happen at once form a bookkeeping perspective so all action which are completed are resolved this turn.
As for Guang actions, since they were auto failures (as he didn't have the skill) they happened before anything else and provided a bonus.
[X] Condense Qi in Guang Li Dantian. Cost 3 Qi per time taken [5/50]. Advance to QC 1 peak.
[x] Purchase a spiritual roots examination service (Instantly complete the map spiritual roots action) for 8 CC.
