You are mistaken. I still doubt that it will happen as getting three moons to share is already considered very unusual but, we were supposed to get two moons by cultivating EPC and we got the third by cultivating PLR and binding Sixiang. The bloody moon vision was something that we stumbled on while exploring, we weren't trying to get another patron we didn't even realize it was a bloody moon test until later. The bloody moon itself rejected us but that doesn't mean that the other moons have automatically rejected us and the bloody moon's trauma has mostly been worked through. It wouldn't prevent us from getting another patron.

I'm not sure the scholar makes the same distinctions you are making.
Normally Moon cultivators do two faces. Ling Qi's done three, which isn't unprecedented.
I suspect trying to go past that only makes sense in trying to do all, which, even if we hadn't already turned from the Bloody Moon... well, there's a reason the Moon divides into different faces in the first place rather than being an obviously singular spirit.

She is a fertility goddess, this is what should be expected for them. Their values are if their are more children running about then your doing a good job otherwise everyone dies out from the death world they live in.
It is quite literally a matter of survival for them, and because she's mostly hands off they craft their own values for family.

I suspect that Mother Moon would respond poorly to people harming the vulnerable out of selfish desire in one of her temples. Likely apocalyptically so.
The academic is almost certainly just being a judgmental bigot.

She'd be pretty specific in her definitions of harm though. She's a primordial being of primal impulses.
Don't get too surprised if you get what you hadn't expected when you seek her favor.

Tbh, if we went for all 8, blood could be the final but hardest one to get.
Like in AtLA, where Aang leaned fire wrongly at one early point, so he had built a denial to learning it and had to quest to learn it right.

I mean, anything beyond 3 is impossible to get. We know that getting the 3 we have is pretty rare though not unheard of. More than that, I doubt it happens much at all.

I bet, much like some people in the Argent Sect cultivate all the basic elements, it's possible to cultivate all eight aspects of the moon at once.
I also bet that, again much like with Argent cultivation, it is something that you would have to commit hard to. Like building your entire Way around it commiting hard.

Its only for Eight Phase Ceremony. Nothing bars you from the rest other than their wanting contradictory things.
If we do get mother moon patronage and marry someone with bloody, reflecting and guiding moon patrons we'll have the whole set between us. Though the only candidate that comes close right now is currently in a coma.

I'm not necessarily against having Mother Moon patronage itself, I just dread having to balance the tasks along with the others.
Hopefully we don't have to argue stuff about "builds" around it

There's also the part where Great Spirits change over time as Whites ascend. And possibly from sheer spiritual weight of mass belief and worship.
One thing I have been wondering about though is if there's a Moon Undivided
Yup. From the blackest night side story Xin mentions that Jiao will have to face it.
The undivided moon should be a step above great spirits, only on par with things like the undivided sun (not including the nameless mother and father who are probably more powerful but also more dead). I've heard them referred to as sovereign spirits instead of great spirits to differentiate them.

I think you are accepting the scholars biases as truth here, when there is a fairly good reason not to.
The language here has been used to condemn pretty much every sexual (or racial/cultural/religious) minority at one time or another.
Also the discussion with Bloody Moon about justice and revenge.
The empire tries to twist her into a more acceptable (to the empire and its power structures) aspect.
Same is happening with the Grinning Moon being tried to be made into a patron of investigators.

So what phases of the moon have we not collected, remind me?
There's the Moon of diplomats, which, Ling Qi is taking as her emerging career path.
There's the Mother Moon, which has already offered Ling Qi patronage under the ceremony bc of her family caretaking habits.
There's the Bloody Moon, where Ling Qi ran into trouble with not being all that into revenge or justice.
What other aspects of the moon are there?

The reflecting moons. Often invoked at the start of tense diplomatic meetings.
Hm. While arts based around, and/or inspired by other moon phases aren't impossible I doubt adding a 4th patron is in the cards simply due to it being at odds with the narrative of Song Seeker Ceremony being Ling Qi taking her first step on building her Way instead of merely imitating her patrons. So somehow adding more moon patrons to take a page from instead of Ling Qi deciding upon what she wants to change about the present world would be rather odd imo.
To emphasize, Bloody was testing for compatibility and the test was failed. No hard feelings from Bloody's side, though Ling Qi is feeling kind of nasty about it.
Ironically, if Ling Qi DID hold a grudge over the trial, she'd probably have been a better match for the Bloody Moon.
