I think they'd both be a good balance to the increasing seriousness of the Summit, too.

So, I almost agree with Oliver Twister last plan, but I'd switch dreaming songstress for Hidden Scribe. I'm willing to accept the risk of delaying dreaming songstress if it means concentrating all the Xin goodness. Something like this would be nice, I suppose:
[X] Plan Hidden communication
-[X] [Personal] House of Ling
-[X] [Professional] Paying Respects
-[X] [Professional] The Wide White Sky
-[X] [Professional] Imperial Menagerie
-[X] [Cultivation] Raising the Bastion (5/5, Greater Argent Vent)
-[X] [Cultivation] Hidden Scribe (8/8)
-[X] [Cultivation] Xiangmen, Fortress of Tsu Pt. 2 (9/5, Saline Grotto)
About Raising the Bastion in particular: After we leave the sect, our fief's sites will not allow us to accomplish Silent Songseeker's Regards' projects in a turn. Since using 2 turns for a project is immensely wasteful, that means it'll fall by the wayside if we don't finish it before then. It's also a very nice art that's absolutely in line with LQ's... LQness, and one of those arts that will give us a very nice Insight
reagarding the BKSD art, I could see the vermin god version also working, so gonna make a second version of the plan with that plugged in:

To put things in perspective, the summit is in two months in story. It's not far off at all. This is the debut of the big political project we're staking our reputation, CRX's reputation, and the success of our clan on. If there was ever a time to go full workaholic, this is it.

Oof not sure it'll do well, but I really want House of Ling
Day 1 of the summit and Renxiang is the very model of poised and confident diplomat speaking to the Polar Nations and LIng Qi Kramers into the room partially phantasmal, liquid rainbows pouring out her eyes and ears, and so high on Dream Qi she thinks she is defending her Doctoral Thesis on Microbiology to the University of Melbourne in 1989
Mmm, House of Ling is tricky because on one hand it could be argued that it isn't urgent.
The problem, however, is that that kind of household development work needs time. When it becomes urgent it will be too late. It's something we need to get set up ahead of time.
Arguably since everything is focused on the summit rn we have space to maybe do it next month instead, but it's hard to say. And the more time we give them to work the better really.
... Eye of Grudges is also super desirable though ofc

Reading some of the projects, I think I prefer Primacy of Beast over Fortress of Tsu II right now
Alright, so each Polar Nation faction got it's own Action and the Imperial side has one as well, then there is Paying Respects as well.
That's a lot of Actions, but it makes sense. It's time to prioritize.
But, what about the Wang Quest Rep? Is that going to take place after the summit?
I really want to do Paying Respects+Hidden Scribe. At first, people didn't want to do it because it fitted better closer to the departure from the Sect. Now we are there, but we are so packed with work that the idea of pushig it even further has come up. If only it had been possible to see this coming *salty grumbles*.
This is crunch time for the summit. Doing 3 Professional actions isn't being a "workaholic" is the right thing to do.
With 3 Professional Actions we can tackle 3 factions in the same turn.
The Wide White Sky seems the most clear option since Jaromila is there. They are the main advocates of the summit, after.
As I said, Paying Respects as well. And, please, don't separate it from Hidden Scribe. Let's be serious.
The last one should be Imperial Menagerie. Let's make sure there aren't problems on our side, because if something happens there all of our Polar Nation knowledge gathering will have been for naugth
Among the Personal Actions House of Ling is the most appealing to me. It's good for Ling Qi to think about how all of this will affect her family and household.
Regarding cultivation it would be Hidden Scribe, obviously. Then Bastion and a FFS Project
So a plan would look like this?
[] Plan Hidden Home
-[] [Personal] House of Ling
-[] [Professional] Paying Respects
-[] [Professional] The Wide White Sky
-[] [Professional] Imperial Menagerie
-[] [Cultivation] Hidden Scribe (8/8)
-[] [Cultivation] Raising the Bastion (5/5, Greater Argent Vent)
-[] [Cultivation] Ice and Dust (?/4, Saline Grotto)
If people really want to do the dream tribulation now, then I could grudgingly agree to this set up. It changes Paying Respect with the Twisted Pines Action, so we can appease the Polar Nation faction most likely to give us problems.
[] Plan Dreaming Home
-[] [Personal] House of Ling
-[] [Professional] A Land Dark and Cruel

That was expected. We lost a couple of projects that aren't focused on the Summit.
Umm...what is most important right now is making sure the summit goes well and there isn't an outbreak of war between the empire and the polar nation.
I don't think this is necessarily a fair view of using one of our personal slots for a professional action. We did a fair bit of work to ensure that our friends would, by and large, be involved by our work in this. What is the payoff to all that if not that we can afford to spend more of our time on work in these few turns without having to neglect our friends. I think this is perfectly exemplified by the Imperial Menagerie action, in other circumstances that might have been a collection of random people from various imperial factions, instead because so many of our friends joined this in some capacity that whole action is essentially filled with our friends and their attendants. Also while Ling Qi's way is centered around family that has never been just about hanging out with them all the time, there has always been an important element of working to improve her family's circumstances and protect them, so I don't think that doing everything in our power to make sure this goes off without a hitch conflicts all that much with her Way.
This.
Also, as others have said, this is exactly the time to
It's true that without the Cathedral+Diviner combo, Bastion is more lackluster. But, as others have said, if we don't complete while we have the Argent Vent, we won't be able to do in a single go. Which means we won't do it at all.

The thing is, if we don't do it before losing the Greater Argent Vent, with the way sites math works, we'll need 2 cultivation actions to accomplish its projects. Since it's an horrible waste of cultivation action slots, we'll be forced to abandon the art instead
Alright. I've put together a plan along the lines of what I was sketching out earlier.
[] Plan Face Your Demons
-[] [Personal] Eyes of Grudges
-[] [Professional] Paying Respects
-[] [Professional] The Wide White Sky
-[] [Professional] Imperial Menagerie
-[] [Cultivation] Dreaming Songstress (8/8)
-[] [Cultivation] Frozen Desire (8/4)
-[] [Cultivation] Raising the Bastion (6/5, Greater Argent Vent + Argent Domain)
I've taken Frozen Desire because it directly engages with Ling Qi's issues of want, desire and intimacy, directly tying into what we'll be facing during the Nightmare tribulation. I've come around on Bastion as well, as the text has been changed quite significantly this time around, from
to
Given the uh, very thin line between higher cultivators and greater spirits, I think it could possibly be useful even this turn, given the likes of Xia Ren, the Polar Nations higher spirits, and whoever we'll meet during the tribulation (if we bring any of our spirits).
As for the others, since the White Sky is a keystone in the talks here, I think engaging with Jaromila at the first opportunity we have available is both polite and good politics, to not snub the key player on the other side. Eye of Grudges also engages with connection and understanding, and will unlock us a new successor art going forwards - I don't think it'll require further followup personals, just cultivation actions.

Vermin god and fortress of Tsu just feel like they fit better with the actions we're aiming for. Demonstrations of power really aren't the order of the day here.

Raising the Bastion! It's great!
A more detailed analysis from me will have to wait until after work.
