That technique is actually a good idea and we should probably pick a technique that lets us do more things since even a block every other week will stack and we need as much of those as we can since we only have a year before going to frontlines.

Physical techniques are passive, mental techniques are active.
You can't get a technique that reduces your need for sleep. You gain an extra block of time at Step Five fully broken through, and then again once you reach First Step Inner Human.
Nice guess we should focus on that. Also depending on the spirit we bind with can we gain more success when doing the gardening job?

I'd like to talk to the former to see what exactly was up with her during last update's conversation, and to the latter to learn more about her.
[X] Plan: Mind and matter
I'd rather keep on cultivating our body than researching right now. Let's get to Step Five in it, and then do the same with our mind once our stat is raised.
A Move technique is my priority, but I'd much prefer a physical one rather than a mental one for it, and we don't have slots for that. Perhaps a Support one of some kind to buff allies or hinder enemies would be cool, but for now:
[X] No Technique 1
[X] No Technique 2
I'm not sure how the picking-techniques vote works otherwise... Can a single person voting for one, automatically decide for everyone else who didn't bother express a preference?

Techniques need at least 5 people to vote for it for it to have a chance.
So since physical is passive should we pick a movement technique e or a support technique to help in resisting mental effects?
I feel like passive mental ressist and active movement since thinking active technique should give a bigger boost whether in attacking or moving compared to passively raising movement thoughts?

I changed the technique type for my write in vote to physical instead of mental now that we know physical techs are passive and mental techs are active. So if that has any impact on your preferences alter your votes as needed.

honestly the only problem i have now that i think about is are we going to focus on wood and water or go for the whole reinforcing cycle cause i think once we reach third step mental we get to pick another inspiration so waiting until we can learn fire support technique that is boosted by wood.
Basically i think we should have a different for enhancing element for each technique going balance or focusing on wood and water element.
@Kadmus can we learn a fire technique or do we have to wait until full 3rd step and learn another epiphany?

Passive resisting mental effects is fine. A wood natured one where the pleasant smell of flower keeps the mind soothed?
I don't think it's much of an issue now though, we could also get a spirit that helps in that area.

If we can pick a fire technique Im thinking of making one that burn outside influence by using them as fuel to enhance thinking speed or keep one from being afraid or panicking. Since I checked back decided for the whole supporting cycle thing.
I like that concept, I'm imagining a night raid on a military camp and everyone is panicking meanwhile Zhi Gao is mentally stopping to smell the roses lol. As for the spirit idea I feel like mental resistance is the sort of thing you should avoid relying on a third party for whenever possible, but that might be overly paranoid on my part.
I think we can take techniques of any element but I might be wrong. I think the fire idea is cool, Do you think something like a watchman's torch would be good?
Sorry I dont get what you mean by watchman but yeah If we can pick from any element i think going with the supporting cycle is good since unlike a ruling house or monster we dont have a starting affinity and with speaker we can choose from a larger number of spirits we should be able to get 5 spirits from each element by outer inhuman unlike normal cultivators which can only have 3 spirits by that point.
I was meaning like a guard's torch as a theme to help flesh out the idea, to me it speaks of vigilance and protection.
Gotcha yeah something like that would work.
The vote does not close till Wednesday though so there is still time for things to change, and although I can't speak for the other voters I'm willing to go with something else if someone puts forth a better idea in that time. You and Edkose both had good concepts in my opinion so if either of you put up a write-in you may be able to sway things.
Hm okay lets give this a try.
[X] Purchase Technique (50 sect points):
Minds Hearth
- [X] Physical
- [X] Type: Support
- [X] Element: Fire
—[X] Any outside influence be it through poison or techniques that would affect one mind are burned away quickly to keep one's mind Clear.
Okay this is a technique focus completely on protecting the user from from anything that would try to affect their thinking by burning those influence away. Since its fire type it should be boosted by our wood technique and while doesn't have pureminds ability to keep its user calm in crisis the fact that its focus on protecting the mind should make it more effective as a mental resist technique.
We can and should probably pick another support technique in the future that would help in being calm no matter what but i feel like that shouldn't be combined with protecting our mind from outside influence.

Not sure where you got this idea from. You can get 2 spirits total as an Outer Human Realm cultivator, which is double what others can bind.
The fire-based physical technique to remove mental influence will work as described, but be aware that the passive physical effects will be slower than a mental path technique; it's an erosion rather than an immediate cleanse.
You can learn techniques of any element so long as you have the technique slots for them.
