Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Looks like this vote is basically settled, so we have a bit of a lull ahead of us. This might be a good time to chat about the upcoming inter-sect competition, which we haven't really delved into for a while. Now, we're still missing a lot of details, but we've gotten some more information on potential participants. As such, I'll take a swing at putting together a core team. Obviously, we don't know the numbers involved or the age cutoff for the junior division we'll be competing in, so I'm playing things loose here.
Ling Qi:
+no brainer
+versatile
+fast
+lucky
-has no actual clue what she's doing
-easily distractable
Cai Renxiang:
+obligatory
+good at hitting things, floating
+secondary effects of techniques make it difficult for team to lose their way
-little capability to empathize with teammates as people outside duty and obligation
Shen Hu:
+adept at area defence, tarpitting, and subterranean mobility
+amiable personality
+he uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-might fall asleep
Wang Chao:
+apparently strong buildup and enemy disruption capabilities, good defence
+earnest and straightforward
+he uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-pride could be a liability
=plausibly too old to participate in the youngest clade of competitors
Xuan Shi:
+best defense period, incl area
+formations expert
+no fuss personality
+he uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-strange way of speaking may hinder inter-team communication in emergency situations
-might fall asleep
Fan Yu:
+sensory and defense arts
+extreme loyalty
+he uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-relatively lower cultivation
=decent odds he won't pass the tournament to recruit
Han Jian:
+good leadership and command skills
+support arts
-Earth seems to only be a secondary element or aesthetics
-relatively lower cultivation
Yan Renshu:
+resourceful minion-oriented planner
+he uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-probably plotting our downfall
=worms are controversial
Gan Guangli:
+respectable height
-Mountain is a poor substitute for Earth
Bai Meizhen:
+potent counterattack and area denial expert
+uses Earth, a flexible and strategically useful element
-strongly Yin Earth is less suitable to female cultivators
All in all, we I think we can expect great performance from the 4 guys mainlining Earth, hopefully it's enough to carry the rest of the team.

Oi why you dissin Gan like that? Just cause he don't got earth doesn't mean he can suplex everyone with his GIANT MOUNTAIN MUSCLES
Look, there's just some facts in life. Metal=cool special talent. Mountain=just Earth, but for people who want to seem more special. Earth=boys.
I don't make the rules.

binge read through both threads
I was reealllly looking forward to those hot Senior Sect Brothers & Sisters, but when it was time for socializing, I was hooting two names like a frat boy: Shen HU, Xuan SHI, SHEN HU, XUAN SHI--
Each update I've read without them has me crying like a kicked dog, gah.
Anyways: holy hell, Su Ling and Sixiang's storylines were so good, I love them.
[X] You have been trying to improve your social game. Keep pushing it. See if you can arrange something with not only Wang Chao, but also Alingge, Liang He and possibly others. (Social Benefits. Less focused training. Lower but wider skill bonuses. Zhengui gets more experience with other cultivators.)

For those interested, the new chapter over on RR seems to be an entirely new chapter.

Huh, that actually alters the Renshu arc quite a lot. Hmmm... is it to retroactively increase Cai's importance and ensure better character development by showing Ling Qi not making her decision on absence of information as it did originally? Wonder how far events will deviate...
This also means that on new canon Meizhen doesn't torture Renshu's followers? Or am I wrong? And which canon is canon for the quest, the new one or the old one? Man, live second drafts can be confusing for readers. May have to ask @yrsillar at least for which canon is quest canon...

I mean, GG can get up to 4 meters tall.
And that was almost a year ago now. He's likely going to get even bigger now. Once GG ramps up, he is someone that can only be described as a mountain of a man, both in his large personality and size.

Also am curious what sort of Spirit Gan got? It is apparently like Sixiang in that it is more spirit than beast, so what kind could it be?

I mean, I think I remember some implication that GG bonded with the Angst remenants that coalesce after every inner sect tournament. I'm not sure how accurate that is though, because I'm not sure exactly what that type of spirit would do for GG either for cultivation or in combat.
No, that was pure speculation that existed at some point or another, but it was never mentioned as part of the story. The most we know is that xiao fen said in turn 6

[X] Suggest a spar, the three of them versus Ling Qi and Zhengui. [Gives Wang Chao a better idea of your combined abilities for better advice. Potential embarrassment and ego damage to Wang Chao, with knock on effects. Lower chance for Wang Chao to show off.]
Going for this one since might a well gable for the biggest gain. With Ling Qi luck I believe we can do this!

Turn 8: Arc 4-8
"It might be more interesting to make something more of it," Ling Qi mused.
"Oh, you're going for it? I guess the iron isn't gonna get any hotter. You go Ling Qi," Sixiang's silent voice encouraged her as she searched for the right words.
"Hm, what did you have in mind Miss Ling?" Wang Chao asked, furrowing his thick brows.
"Alingge, do you think you might be interested in training with us sometime?" Ling Qi asked.
Alingge came up short, looking briefly bewildered by the sudden invitation. "...I would not be opposed."
"I assume you wouldn't be opposed to allowing Liang He along either," Ling Qi said, turning back to Wang Chao. "Maybe one or two others from time to time?"
"It might be more difficult to pass the lessons you are looking for along like that,"Wang Chao said slowly, but he was not dismissing it out of hand. She caught him looking briefly at Alingge. "Would your lord truly be fine with that Miss Alingge?"
The girl's eyebrow twitched a little. "Lord Luo does not seek to leash his followers."
He held up his hands, speaking quickly. "I meant no offense!"
...Her head really was in the gutter, she blamed Sixiang.
"Guilty," they chirped silently.
That aside, looking at them talk, she didn't get the sense that Wang Chao was interested in that way. Ah, that was it. Wang Chao was isolated. She dimly recalled lessons with Cai Renxiang, the Wang were new to their lands and position, and had very few viscount vassals, and not even that many barons in relative terms. So compared to someone like Luo Zhong…
"I'm just not very skilled at setting up gatherings you know? I was hoping you might assist me with that as well," he wouldn't have the wide base of vassal acquaintances needed to really play the same game as the others. "Of course, I'd be happy to accommodate anyone you wanted to invite as well."
Wang Chao brightened up considerably, and she was certain that she had hit the mark. "Oho, I see. That is what you mean. An interesting proposition Miss Ling!"
"Gui doesn't quite get it, but Big Sister wants to fight lots of people?" Her little brother questioned. He had worked himself out of the dirt, and was resting his forelegs on the lip of the crater, peering up at them.
"Something like that, you could meet other spirit beasts as well, I'm sure," Ling Qi said, crouching down to rub his dusty head. "I think it's a good idea."
"Miss Ling's ambition has grown since we traded our first words," Liang He said dryly, only to quail as she shot him a look.
"Do not be like that Liang He," Wang Chao said, clapping him on the back. "We can use more sparring partners," it looked like he was increasingly into the idea of having something like Luo Zhong's parties to his name. "Hm, hm I'll have to look into booking one of the good training grounds. And we would need sparring licenses…"
"I can see to those if you give me a list of names," Ling Qi said lightly, standing back up. "I would not want to make you do all of the work."
"Yes, of course," Wang Chao said. "We'll have to speak of things later. Still, that's going to take some time to arrange, particularly with deployments!"
Ling Qi winced. "Ah, I hadn't thought of that."
The stocky boy nodded enthusiastically. "Things slip by all of us. So for now, why don't we just decide on a time for me to give you some of that advice you sought!"
"Thank you very much," Ling Qi replied, clapping her hands together and bowing her head. She found her smile was genuine. This… wasn't so bad.
They actually arranged something for later that afternoon, and with a bit of wrangling, every third day for an hour in the evening. Wang Chao was not exactly an inspired teacher, but Ling Qi listened carefully to his words anyway as he began to walk her through hard point tactics, herding maneuvers and other such things. There was a surprising amount of social maneuvering and manipulation when it came to battlefield tactics it seemed. You could just blast away with your biggest techniques, overrun enemies with superior power, but it was wasteful.
You could accomplish so much more with a little cunning and tactical sleight of hand. Perhaps she had been engaging with full battlefields wrong entirely. Rather than thinking of it like a duel with a whole mess of people on either side, she should have been thinking of battles more like… very violent heists.
However, even as she drank in everything that Wang Chao had to say on matters of tactics and war, she found herself frustrated in other ways. Her cultivation still felt sluggish. Each cycling of her qi sent a twinge of pain up her spine, making it difficult to relax and meditate. It did not get so bad to cause her to fail in opening a meridian thankfully, with the help of Suyin's clearing tool, all eight of the meridians she would need open for cultivating techniques next month were open but…
She still felt slow.
Ling Qi did not need Sixiang's advice to know not to mention that in Wang Chao's hearing though, not when she was closing in on the fourth step of the Green Soul Stage despite her sluggishness. Besides, Zhengui was really enjoying himself, as far as she could tell. She wouldn't want to dampen his spirits.
"You have been quite the butterfly recently," Meizhen said dryly, entering the worn down circle of foundation stones. "Beast, inform me where you have hidden the real Ling Qi."
"Ha Ha," Ling Qi said, saying the sounds flatly. "I wasn't that bad." She didn't turn from her seat on the round boulder, keeping her eyes on the glittering beam of moonlight ahead of her. Sixiang was working hard, but they couldn't quite manage to manifest without expending a great deal of qi yet.
"You were," Meizhen said softly, her flowing steps carrying her to stand beside Ling Qi. "I was as well."
Ling Qi huffed. "You've improved more than I have, I barely managed to stumble through a dinner without making a total ass of myself. But you," she gave her friend a sidelong look, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "You've had success." Tinkling laughter, Sixiang's laughter drifted on the wind.
Meizhen's eyes flew open wide, and her cheeks pinked. "What, how did you…"
"She didn't, she's guessing," Sixiang's disembodied voice chuckled. "We just heard that Bao Qingling came to her cousin in a fluster."
"Gotta work on that reaction," Ling Qi teased, turning in her seat to look up at Meizhen. Well, not too far up. It was sometimes easy to forget how short her friend was.
"Wicked girl," Meizhen hissed, turning her face away. "Is that why you invited me out to this ruin?"
"Partially," Ling Qi said, still grinning widely at her friend's flustered expression. This kind of thing… she was still deeply wary of it in her heart, but Bai Meizhen was strong, no matter what happened, she was sure that Meizhen was in control. "So….tell me what happened."
"I do not see why I should share such private matters," Meizhen huffed, refusing to look at her.
"C'mon, I'm sorry for teasing," Ling Qi cajoled. "But please, I have to know how you managed to get that girl to notice what you were trying to do."
"...She is not half as dense as you," Meizhen shot back,.
Ling Qi recoiled as if wounded, and the wind echoed with snickering. "She's got you there," Sixiang said. Ling Qi shot the empty air a hurt look too.
"Now you're just being cruel," Ling Qi complained. "Please tell me?"
Meizhen finally turned to look at her, though her cheeks were still pink. "If you must know I-That is," it was bizarre to see the usually perfectly composed Bai Meizhen stumbling on her words.
"If you really don't want to say, I won't keep pressing," Ling Qi said carefully.
"No, It's just- I was aiding her with the cataloguing of factors to the toxins which the Medicine Hall was studying, and conversation turned to issues of betrothal. She mentioned finding all of her suitors to be blithering irritants, and I concurred," Meizhen said.
It was probably a little weird that Ling Qi could picture that conversation so easily in her head. She remained silent, not wanting to interrupt her friends momentum.
"She then lamented that she could not get a match with someone as competent as I, and… I also agreed," Meizhen coughed. "I may have… complimented her as well and er… lamented that I was not in position to grow closer to her."
"And then what happened," Ling Qi asked, unable to help herself as she leaned forward.
"She told me to stop making fun of her," Meizhen said quietly, looking down. "I told her I was not."
Ling Qi almost winced at the high pitched squeal Sixiang let loose inside of her head, before the muse devolved into babbling about how cute the scenario was. "...She believed you?"
"...There may have been some convincing involved," Meizhen replied evasively.
"You kissed her," Ling Qi accused.
"I asked permission," Meizhen huffed. "Qingling… may have thought I was still jesting however."
It was only her familiarity with meizhen that told her how very tense the girl was. She couldn't imagine how hard that must have been for her, after… "Congratulations, Meizhen."
"I even," Meizhen said, flushing further. "Embraced her briefly, at our parting."
She ignored Sixiang's wolf whistle. "I don't understand how you can be so forward," Ling Qi huffed. "You're still so much braver than I am."
"Have you ever met an individual that you would consider doing such things with?" Meizhen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"...No," Ling Qi admitted. It was a hard thing to even picture without uglier thoughts corrupting it. "But my statement stands."
"You are braver than you think, Qi," Meizhen said, briefly resting her hand on Ling Qi's shoulder. "Now, what is it you are working on out here?"
"Sixiang has been trying to teach me to move more like they do," Ling Qi sighed. But I'm having a hard time of it."
"Sixiang is an immaterial spirit," Meizhen pointed out.
"Right, right, and I'm not at a level where i can replicate that," Ling Qi agreed, frowning at the worn stones. "Not for long anyway. We're trying to meet each other halfway.
"Ah, you are trying to step into the Liminal Realm," Meizhen said, understanding dawning.
"Pretty much! I can pull her in when she's asleep, but doing it consciously is hard!" Sixiang agreed.
"Wait, what's that term?" Ling Qi asked with a frown.
"It refers to the space where certain spirits dwell, not wholly outside the material realm, yet not wholly part of it either. It is also called the realm of consciousness, or the Father's Hearth by some," Meizhen explained academically, elegantly seating herself on another stone. "It is typically accessed through dreams and mirrors. The technique which allows communication with Grandmother Serpent makes use of it as well, or so I have been taught."
"Hm, I just call it Dream," Ling Qi shrugged.
"...Not inaccurate," Meizhen sighed. "I am not sure I can assist much on the matter."
"That's fine," Ling Qi replied. "Despite what you said earlier. I mostly wanted to hang out with my best friend a little, even if I'm taking dance lessons while I do it. Gotta learn to split that focus, you know?"
Meizhen let out a sigh, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "...Well I cannot say that I object."
[] Focus on your cultivation, let Meizhen lead the conversation. [Coming discussion will focus on Sect matters and Ling Qi.]
[] Do not let your cultivation falter, but keep the conversational lead. [Coming discussion will focus on Meizhen and things moving outside of the Sect.]
"Oh, you're going for it? I guess the iron isn't gonna get any hotter. You go Ling Qi," Sixiang's silent voice encouraged her as she searched for the right words.

However, even as she drank in everything that Wang Chao had to say on matters of tactics and war, she found herself frustrated in other ways. Her cultivation still felt sluggish. Each cycling of her qi sent a twinge of pain up her spine, making it difficult to relax and meditate. It did not get so bad to cause her to fail in opening a meridian thankfully, with the help of Suyin's clearing tool, all eight of the meridians she would need open for cultivating techniques next month were open but…
She still felt slow.
Ling Qi did not need Sixiang's advice to know not to mention that in Wang Chao's hearing though, not when she was closing in on the fourth step of the Green Soul Stage despite her sluggishness. Besides, Zhengui was really enjoying himself, as far as she could tell. She wouldn't want to dampen his spirits.

"You have been quite the butterfly recently," Meizhen said dryly, entering the worn down circle of foundation stones. "Beast, inform me where you have hidden the real Ling Qi."
"Ha Ha," Ling Qi said, saying the sounds flatly. "I wasn't that bad." She didn't turn from her seat on the round boulder, keeping her eyes on the glittering beam of moonlight ahead of her. Sixiang was working hard, but they couldn't quite manage to manifest without expending a great deal of qi yet.
"You were," Meizhen said softly, her flowing steps carrying her to stand beside Ling Qi. "I was as well."
Ling Qi huffed. "You've improved more than I have, I barely managed to stumble through a dinner without making a total ass of myself. But you," she gave her friend a sidelong look, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. "You've had success." Tinkling laughter, Sixiang's laughter drifted on the wind.
Meizhen's eyes flew open wide, and her cheeks pinked. "What, how did you…"
"She didn't, she's guessing," Sixiang's disembodied voice chuckled. "We just heard that Bao Qingling came to her cousin in a fluster."
"Gotta work on that reaction," Ling Qi teased, turning in her seat to look up at Meizhen. Well, not too far up. It was sometimes easy to forget how short her friend was.
"Wicked girl," Meizhen hissed, turning her face away. "Is that why you invited me out to this ruin?"
"Partially," Ling Qi said, still grinning widely at her friend's flustered expression. This kind of thing… she was still deeply wary of it in her heart, but Bai Meizhen was strong, no matter what happened, she was sure that Meizhen was in control. "So….tell me what happened."
"I do not see why I should share such private matters," Meizhen huffed, refusing to look at her.
"C'mon, I'm sorry for teasing," Ling Qi cajoled. "But please, I have to know how you managed to get that girl to notice what you were trying to do."
"...She is not half as dense as you," Meizhen shot back,.
Ling Qi recoiled as if wounded, and the wind echoed with snickering. "She's got you there," Sixiang said. Ling Qi shot the empty air a hurt look too.
"Now you're just being cruel," Ling Qi complained. "Please tell me?"
Meizhen finally turned to look at her, though her cheeks were still pink. "If you must know I-That is," it was bizarre to see the usually perfectly composed Bai Meizhen stumbling on her words.
"If you really don't want to say, I won't keep pressing," Ling Qi said carefully.
"No, It's just- I was aiding her with the cataloguing of factors to the toxins which the Medicine Hall was studying, and conversation turned to issues of betrothal. She mentioned finding all of her suitors to be blithering irritants, and I concurred," Meizhen said.
It was probably a little weird that Ling Qi could picture that conversation so easily in her head. She remained silent, not wanting to interrupt her friends momentum.
"She then lamented that she could not get a match with someone as competent as I, and… I also agreed," Meizhen coughed. "I may have… complimented her as well and er… lamented that I was not in position to grow closer to her."
"And then what happened," Ling Qi asked, unable to help herself as she leaned forward.
"She told me to stop making fun of her," Meizhen said quietly, looking down. "I told her I was not."
Ling Qi almost winced at the high pitched squeal Sixiang let loose inside of her head, before the muse devolved into babbling about how cute the scenario was. "...She believed you?"
"...There may have been some convincing involved," Meizhen replied evasively.
"You kissed her," Ling Qi accused.
"I asked permission," Meizhen huffed. "Qingling… may have thought I was still jesting however."
It was only her familiarity with meizhen that told her how very tense the girl was. She couldn't imagine how hard that must have been for her, after… "Congratulations, Meizhen."
"I even," Meizhen said, flushing further. "Embraced her briefly, at our parting."
She ignored Sixiang's wolf whistle. "I don't understand how you can be so forward," Ling Qi huffed. "You're still so much braver than I am."
"Have you ever met an individual that you would consider doing such things with?" Meizhen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"...No," Ling Qi admitted. It was a hard thing to even picture without uglier thoughts corrupting it. "But my statement stands."
"You are braver than you think, Qi," Meizhen said, briefly resting her hand on Ling Qi's shoulder. "Now, what is it you are working on out here?"
"Sixiang has been trying to teach me to move more like they do," Ling Qi sighed. But I'm having a hard time of it."
"Sixiang is an immaterial spirit," Meizhen pointed out.
"Right, right, and I'm not at a level where i can replicate that," Ling Qi agreed, frowning at the worn stones. "Not for long anyway. We're trying to meet each other halfway.
"Ah, you are trying to step into the Liminal Realm," Meizhen said, understanding dawning.
"Pretty much! I can pull her in when she's asleep, but doing it consciously is hard!" Sixiang agreed.
"Wait, what's that term?" Ling Qi asked with a frown.
"It refers to the space where certain spirits dwell, not wholly outside the material realm, yet not wholly part of it either. It is also called the realm of consciousness, or the Father's Hearth by some," Meizhen explained academically, elegantly seating herself on another stone. "It is typically accessed through dreams and mirrors. The technique which allows communication with Grandmother Serpent makes use of it as well, or so I have been taught."
"Hm, I just call it Dream," Ling Qi shrugged.
"...Not inaccurate," Meizhen sighed. "I am not sure I can assist much on the matter."
"That's fine," Ling Qi replied. "Despite what you said earlier. I mostly wanted to hang out with my best friend a little, even if I'm taking dance lessons while I do it. Gotta learn to split that focus, you know?"
Meizhen let out a sigh, rubbing the bridge of her nose. "...Well I cannot say that I object."
[] Focus on your cultivation, let Meizhen lead the conversation. [Coming discussion will focus on Sect matters and Ling Qi.]
[] Do not let your cultivation falter, but keep the conversational lead. [Coming discussion will focus on Meizhen and things moving outside of the Sect.]
