Normal Cultivator Quest Threads 1-5 information

Notes on questions and important info -
1. We choose our rocks to fill the Jar.
>Potential, Friendship, Foundation, Weapon skills, Spiritual Beasts, The sect
2. Transplan- obviously close to transplant. And humance, could be something like transferring a conciousness, or the lifeforce of a human or energy- your Qi.
Response - That doesn't work. Not like that. Not with Qi and Blood. You'll need to reach the second realm - True Master rank. Your Qi and Blood will then turn into True Qi - pure, shapeless. Then, and only then, you can shape it into elements or pour it out of you.
3. Entering Planes - Treasures. In addition to material, treasure-weapons, insignia, clothes can be found. You can also find secret techniques, as well as spiritual beasts. The luckier cultivator can also find hidden legacies and inheritances."
4. Physical Medicinal pills allow to recover from wounds from minor to serious. It won't regrow a cut limb or torn organ by itself.
Spiritual Medicinal pills could help you recover a dispelled bonded Spiritual beast almost instantly.
Mental Medicinal pills must certainly have an use too. You're not sure what could deplete your mental energy though.
5. That Primordial Spirit, much like the 33-shape spirit I already told you about, could take several shapes. Always shape of sharks, but with different attributes.
6. >What's a reasonable cultivation speed for a bright prospect.
Depends on town size.
Capital City : Simpleton if still first Stage at 15. Good would be second stage at 10, third at 20, fourth at 30. Genius would be second stage at 8, third stage at 15-16, fourth stage before 25.
Big City : Simpleton if still first Stage at 20. Genius prospects if second stage at 10. Genius if third stage at 20, fourth stage at 30. Good would be 2nd at 15, third at 30.
Remote City : Local big shot if third stage. Respected at second. Most are stuck in first stage.
7. >Who are our enemies, as a sect and as a force?
The Heavenly way, smiting down cultivator attempting to rise through their current condition.
The Netherworld, jealous of our world's opulence.
More pragmatically, the Empire is at war with the Knights of the Western Kingdom. The Empire itself is not safe outside of towns : strong spiritual beasts can be found anywhere, everywhere. Small village are often destroyed by a wandering third-realm beast. A ninth-level beast attacking any town except the capital will create serious destruction.
8. >Are there heretical techniques? Demonic?
Let's first answer the heretical part : There are two answers to that one : Yes. Their exists Techniques to funnel the cultivation of a defeated foe. To pluck by... grown up stuff... latent talent.
Those are example of heretism, and will draw ire of sects. Truth is the commoner have a false idea of hertism : blood technics, demonic technics, soul technics, dark technics are seen as such. The truth is more nuanced, and people of power actually tolerate those arts.
They should not be openly shown to commoner to avoid panic though.
Demonic technics are, like Heavenly technics, art that fuel themself on the energy of the Netherworld or the Heavens, some realm one step away from ours but that can't be walked into.
There's nothing inherently wrong or right with either, but once again, commoners might not be aware.
9. >What are common mistakes of cultivators in their cultivation
Bottlenecks. It happens to everybody. You'll have to find a treasure, a medicine, a lucky encounter or a new technique to smash through. But the proverbial bottle as many, many proverbial necks.
Good thing is you won't meet them until you're 8 : you still have the mouthful of Inborn True Qi your mother gave you when you came to this world.
Wrong use of medicine. I think you personally rely quite a bit on pills. For now, it is okay but you'll need to require to the service of a Medicine Master sooner or later.
However, we don't have any in the Eastern Branch. A solution would be gaining a favor with another sect of Lotus Harbor. Or capitalize on a later visit.
10. >What is the biggest mother sect of our beast taming organisation?
Trainers of Million Beast. It's a council which every member of the sect over True Monarch realm are part of.
11. >What is the result of incorrect cultivation [I'm talking about Qi deviation]
Several steps are critical. Jumping through the Dragon Gate, gone wrong, would set you back to open Mouth Aperture minor realm.
Lightning tribulation can be lethal. This happens rarely in low stage with enough Preparation and formations, but it still can happen.
Some wound can shatter aperture, dantians, meridians.
Ambient spiritual energy can be loaded in element. Cultivating hard in an unsuited element might deviate your Qi, tainting it with said unsuited element, taking more energy for basic technics and spiritual art. However, this is quite a rare affliction - I only HEARD of it as a risk.
12. >Who are our allies, What are their specialities?
The Imperator of course. Our sect, as all, is loyal to the Imperial family.
We've evidently got good relationship with smaller noble families : Copper Frost Turtle, Dreamlike Butterfly Blossom and Stable Lotus comes to the mind.
However, things are a little bit tensed with some other families : we have no branch near Talismans of the Sound Blade for instance.
Of the greater sects, we have good relation with Fist of the Green Dragon and Paper Tigers - although I don't understand why the Paper Tigers are a greater sects. I banded with one of their members once. He was the unluckiest, clumsiest braggart I ever met. A true wonder we made it through the small realm unscathed.
Green Dragon are martial artist. I once saw one of them in the battlefield. A fourth-stage. He won bare-handed against two fifth-stages.
In our world, might makes right. However, the Green Dragon disciples have a strong morale code. Their pride relies on four pillars : fraternity, respect, holding their word and dedication.
Truefire Spellslingers are said to be Hotheads, but I never met them. I'll let you guess what's their shtick is. Other big sects you need to know about are the Buddhist Temple, All-knowing Scholars and Ninja of the Unseen. Once again, self-explanatory.
13. >Do I need to learn politics, or just learn warfare?
Warfare is politics : most battles issues are known before they start. Even matches such as the one of earlier are a rare oddity. Thus, what matter the most about a battle is all except the battle itself. Logistics. Money mustered. Alliances.
Politics is warfare. You have to hold your ground. Fight teeth and nail. Watch your back.
14. >What are the great dangers of the world which a strategist of our group must be ready to overcome?
The biggest danger is the unknown. What are your strength? Your weakness? Does you or a party member have a way to deal with the current danger?
15. >Do you know about this exact formation used as a trap? What are the specific of this poison? How to avoid the Lightning Rain of this secret realm? What's the best way to react from the Spiritual Sky Shark who attacked?
Alright. So the age of gold coin being worth more than an iron one is a thing of the past - from a time where cultivator where as rare as four-leaves clover.
So first, money was of Intrinsic value - gold was rare and could be melted in jewel.
Then, Mone was of Extrinsic value - cities minted iron coins worth something because the Local Big Guy said so.
However, with the spread of cultivation and everybody being some kind of cultivator, we're back at Intrinsic value. You can't see or feel it, but those coins are actually made of spiritual-rich materials. Some of those Iron or Copper coins are easily ten or twenty time the worth of this gold coin.
16. >"Private Treasure Appraising" service sign. Are they reliable?
- Completely. The All-Selling Merchant Alliance value the privacy of its customer no matter their rank and wealth.
17. >I guess you want to know more about that thing at your belt?
"So anything special with Ear aperture? Things I should know, like the wall of Nose Aperture?
- Not really. Of course, the biggest change is related to the sheer amount of Qi and Blood you'll have to gather.
- Any plants like Purple Bamboo Shoots that can help?
- A few actually. Echo Vine comes to mind - a collection of thin strings liana that reproduce nearby noise a couple second later.
Taste is bland, but it's effective. Bronze-petal Bellflower also comes to mind. Plants are not the only enabler : some geological treasures can also help. When I was young, I was gifted Harmonical Crystal Rods. In a lesser extent, treasures related to music are known to help with Ear Aperture."
Ryota lore dump questions -
Diligent work. In term of treasures, Spiritual Honey is said to be beneficial for Mouth Aperture.
Same goes for Tea - I personnally acquired some energy-rich leaves that I pressed some Earth-Gem Yuzu in.
In a lesser degree, food in general would work well - especially prepared by an Immortal Chief, like in last Conclave.
And once it's filled, it's time for the tribulation for the second realm.
- Speaking of, what is it like?
- You've heard of Tribulation's lightning, right? You might have seen or heard it already a few time since you joined the sect?
Don't worry about this for now - first realm breakthrough is different.
The breakthrough is named "Fish Leaping Through the Dragon's Gate". It is a spiritual matter linked to a lucky encounter.
- What's the most aspects a spiritual beast you have ever seen?
- Naturally? Three is rare. I'm not sure, but I think I once saw Four.
With Spirit Fusion? Certainly five. Maybe Six.
- Do you have many friends in the sect of a Thousand beast tamers?
- Not much. Not as many as I would like... When I was a third stage cultivator, an outsider went in the sect, invited by the Lion Master holding the branch at the time. He was actually cultivating an Heretic Technique. Most of the masters where slains, as well as a good number of students.
I tracked him - this was the occasion I teamed up with the Paper Tiger and Green Dragon sects disciples, strengthening the link among our sects.
In the end, we found him, took him down and bringed back a stolen treasure from the Imperial Treasurery. I was rewarded with a Fighting Technique by the Emperor himself - this let me go through 3rd stage and reach 4th.
- What do you know about Symphony of Gilded waters sect?
- I paid a bit for informations since you came back with this informations.
They are Spiritual Art experts, with a talented crafter guild. Rumors say they feel they're more than a countryside village, and want to grow as influent as Stable Lotus. Thus, their attack is a strategic search for ressources and long-term political power.
Consequencially, there don't seem to be a peaceful solution to our conflict. And yes, they were behind at least Mistrock Village attack, reasonably also involved with Water Bush Cove.
No idea if they act alone or not."
"How do the elements and beasts interact with each other? Do some elements defeat other elements? What about beasts?
- Yes. It's complicated. It depends on the personal way - what might become the dao - of a cultivator.
It is a clash of intent. Of course, you'll have difficulties to convince your opponent your Fire is stronger than his Water.
But it can happen. Same for animals : A mouse is supposed to counter the Elephant - small, nimble, can crawl up its trump. But this depends always on one's dao. Then, there is no Dao that can win against all. Thus, the answer depends on the matchup, your affinity and your path as a cultivator.
- Do some beast types have natural affinity or aversion to some elements?
- Counter-intuitively, no.
- Can beast spirits feed on plant spirits?
- Yes. It's good for them. But if they're bounded, you'd better eat them yourself. They become part of your soul after all.
- Why is the sky blue?
- I don't know the answer of that question. But this is what I heard : Blue is the favored color of current's Heaven's Will, thus he painted the sky in Azur.
Another story says the Sky is a path to the Astral Sea - and Astral Sea, as most sea, is blue.
Another story told about an Immortal Fairy that became Heaven's Will, but at great cost, having to sacrifice many dreams and closed one on her path to greatness. Thus, she wept tear, filling the sky in blue.
- How do you figure out which shapes and forms channel which elements and techniques?
- I am no scholar, so it mostly comes from experience, trials and error.
- Where are all the spiritual humans?
- Well, you are one yourself, according to the myths of many realms.
- Seems unfair that animals dont need Body tempering liquid.
- In our realm, animals are not cultivator. Who knows how they progress in spiritual rich realm? Maybe there are Apothecary Boar Masters out there.
- Can you feed a hawk body tempering liquid and teach it a human waltzing ballat, so I'm doing a hawk waltzing ballet and its doing a human waltzing ballet?
- That would be a very expensive experiment. One that have already been attempting. It yields weaker result than bonding to spiritual beasts.
- Oh, and can beast spirits talk with us? How to hold a conversation with them?
- At your realm, no. At third realm, a mind emerges in wild spiritual beasts. Bonded spiritual beasts might improve around Gold Core formation - turning into Pendants, a part of your soul independant enough to think and act on its own.
- Can you tell me more about beast shifting? Is it hard and what is the purpose?
- I don't master that myself. Your friend's Dhundan Scale Shield is an example - he's powering his beast through their soul connection and materializing a part of it in the real world. It's incredible a first-stage cultivator can do that to begin with, you know?"
---
"Mistress, won't the lack of Snake Pet deter the ritual?
- It will make it harder for them. Straining their souls more. But we don't plan to gift them more than one spirit?
Your amazing link with three beasts let you bound with as much. It is not frequent. Four is rarely seen. Five... Maybe I saw once or twice.
Of course, there are legends of more bounded beasts. But I've seen Five at most.
From Tornament 2-
- Stable Harbor Military - Polearm Mastery :
Due to protag Superior skill in all of Martial, Staff, Spear and Halberd, you can benefit from any style with any weapon.
Limitation : you'll get the lowest level of style and weapon match.
Explanation : for now, you have no proficiency with staff, pinacle of no-open-aperture Halberd, pinacle of opened Eye Aperture Spear.
Using the spear for the Windy Cavalier's Halberd will get mounted bonus, but its level would be pinacle of no-opened aperture.
- Adorators of the Sun - A training Meteor Hammer and teaching of a Meteor Hammer style
This exotic weapon have very few practitioners. A skill to work that weapon is extremely hard to find.
- Prolific Valley City -
One of the biggest village around. They are specialized in growing treasure spiritual plants.
Those where the merchant that selled the Spiritual Fruits on the market, and the Purple Bamboo Shoot.
Of course, you can also...
From Inborn Suntouched Twin Star - It is said the first Sun-Seer was an ascended Tiger walking and talking like a man, clad in silk robes in the presence of society.
This style is inspired by this past's story : Your Meteor-Hammer will reflect the sun's celestial mechanic.
Glance rightly at it, and future will shroud its veil.
The most obvious use will be anticipating your opponent's next move mid-battle. This is already not a trivial feat.
But the style can be taken further, and let you meditate on the location of something or someone.
You have Hawk and Gold related materials for your Hawk Spirit Fusion. Growth could be easily provided - any cup of tea brewed from your Treasured Teapot will do. Remains finding a suitable spirit for fusion, as well as at least fire-aligned material. A Gold Fire Hawk spirit? Intuitively, you think this would work but would be an opportunity loss.

Sect info -
Tamers of Hundred Beasts usually train people under twenty - by that age, if you didn't reach second stage you're a simpleton by the standard of Lotus Harbor City.
For some remote village, that's a level that beat all expectations. For the Imperial Capital, you'd better reach at least third stage before adulthood to be worth something.
Now, our sect trains a good deal of kid from Lotus Harbor. Most of them will take a mundane job, exploiting best their link with eventually bonded spiritual beast.
The best of them? First, they'll pay back the sect by helping training the next generation. Then, they can join the Tamers of Thousand Beasts.
There, cultivators are trained, from Battle King to Spirit Sovereign - the fifth stage. Then, those with enough dragon patterns on the golden core, which can progress even further, are invited to join the college of master.
The Tamers of Millions Beasts.

Known Cultivation Levels -
The First Stage, Beyond Mortal, starts at the Heart Aperture opening. You will next open your Eye Aperture, Nose Aperture, Ears Aperture and lastly Mouth Aperture. Then, the Fish Leaping Through the Dragon Gate tribulation will let you reach...
The Second Stage, True Master. In that stage, you'll have to open your Eight Dragon Dantian with True Qi. Once the Dragon Horn Dantian is opened, True Qi will circle back to the Original Dantian. The Qi loop will attract the Tribulation Lightning, tempering your body to...
The Third Stage, Battle King. You will need to temper your Four Extraordinary Meridians. Opening one of them gives a surge of power, at the cost of decreasing energy while recovering. Opening the four of them trigger the Tribulation Lightning, tempering your body to...
The Fourth Stage, Inborn. True Qi condense a Void Core. The Battle King Body stays activated at all time : every single move muster a strength roughly at the level of a Battle King giving its all. The inborn True Qi, even purer, can also be used to power Flying Sword arts.
The stage minor realms are condensing the 9 Immortal Bones. Each will pierce the Void core when quenched. However, there is a risk to shatter the Core, leading to a full stop in the cultivation progress. This is also the last chance to delay the Tribulation, if opportunities are nearby, for once the Tribulation Lightning is defeated, the cultivator is tempered to...
The Fifth Stage. Spirit Sovereign. the Void core is turned into a Golden Core, with an amount of Dragon Pattern depending on inner potential, raised skills, lucky encounters, and so on. Once the Golden Core is formed, the Dragon Pattern will remain for all of cultivator life.
It's important to have as many as possible. 1 to 3 is a low amount: with only these few, the cultivator will remain stuck at Fifth Stage no matter what. With 5, you can hope to breach through 7th stage, although it will take twice the effort for half the result of a 6-pattern cultivator.
Cultivators with 7 pattern can reach Ninth stage, without any guarantee to cross minor realms inside. Of course, the goal is to reach 8 pattern, or even 9.

Known Affinites -
Genius Tier: Wolf, Horse, Meteor-Hammer

Bad - material affinity and Pain mental energy, Water, Darkness, Sun, Swimming, Illusion, Plant, Liquid
Garbage - Blood will go up with treasure and New Art

(Gained tolerance of failure thread 4)

Bonded spirit beast and Learned Techniques - https://pastebin.com/FQqQDEa9
>Learned Hidden Technique: Summon Blood-Shadow Wolf. Which is using blood drops to create a blood wolf.
Following your hunch, you channel Qi and Blood thread in the weapon to the drop of blood, letting a Bloodd Shadow Wolf emerging between the two of you.
>New skill - Double-Sentence thrust.
Using the Spear to channel your Qi and Blood all the way to your target's blood : a Blood-Shadow wolf emerges from a wound inflicted to your opponent.

Interesting tidbits - Snake spirit benefits Hawk Wide Ballet
As this technique shares similarities with your Bow skill, it looks like training the Halberd skill after your bow skill yields great results.
>Upon stuck on the bottleneck in the future, you have the Insight that "Fueling the growth of other" could fuel your own growth.
Anyway, you can learn weaker them - at the cost of rigorous effort. If you're interested, ask Bathias - I think he has one that could suit you
Unlimited Ground-contracting Kick Movement Technique - Your Qi and Blood threads are sent in your lower body, and consumed by your legs's muscle, tonifying them and demultiplicating their output.
You feel your Qi is trying to do something else - somethingS else - but fails to transform. Once again, you think the effects will be tremendously different once your Qi will turn in True Qi.
Overall, your grasp of the technique is impressive
Like for yourself: the Qi and Blood thread supplied to the Spiritual Beast empower it, demultiplicating its muscular output, resulting in a burst of speed.
Does it work with other spirits? You summon the Horse, and indeed.
This turn your mount fast - less than yourself under the influence of your Unlimited Rising Star Kick, of course, but more economical in the long run.
Assuming you have Qi and Blood pills to supply your energy back - and generic ones, it would be a waste to use the specifically tuned ones - you now have a speedy long-range movement option.
>Drink tea + Unlimited Rising Star Kick practice
As your hunch told you, your comprehension of the Unlimited Rising Star Kick seems better after drinking from the Teapot.
Also, your progress in comprehension are fast, faster than other techniques. One more session should be enough to bring the technique's level up to your cultivation level.
Maybe it is linked to the Growth part of your technique? Or linked to your affinities?
The Hawk's Wide Ballet. It is an introduction to Spacial-element techniques.
You're not sure the past Hawk Master was even aware of that - Space is said to be a wondrous element, reserved to absurdly high level cultivators, allowing them to cover whatever distance they want in one step.
You have the hunch it is more nuanced. But you can't do anything before you have access to True Qi.
Now hear my wisdom : Like all spirits, my Scion can fuse once per major realms of yours.
Unlike other spirits, he have two unique perks. First, he can - and will - absorb the first unbounded spirit he fights once per Major realm.
Second, I might provide you the materials when you merge after a fight in my realm. Now scram and survive untill second realm.
Wait a minute... Those Wind and Horse pills... They should work for the Mounted Archer’s Wind-Gliding Phoenix Arrow, right?
(Important lore)
Tamers of Thousand beast are not the only path to progress after third stage. Some disciples goes to other sects. Other take the path of Loose Cultivators.
But I'm wary of the Emperor's health. The old man might collapse any day.
With the demise of his eldest daughter and son, I'm afraid his last daughter won't be up to the task of holding the whole empire.
Thus I'm seeing another path forward. A path where we go a bit against our elder sect, using the upcoming chaos to have leeway. A dangerous path though.

The spirit have to share properties with your current spirit, but having an exact subset is not it.
The fusion is a success. Spirit to be fused seems to have to share elements with the already bounded spirit, and materials have to provided.
But what you didn't anticipated after the Primordial Wolf fusion is the exhaustion felt after the whole matter.
However, Bathias holds his word, and settle a couple hour later down the week.
"Alright. So the trick is to circulate your energy through your eye aperture following this pattern...
While doing the same in the Aperture of your Spirit Hawk.
- Bounded beasts got aperture?
- Bounded beasts are pendants that are also small parts of your own soul. So the short answer is yes, the same amount than your opened apertures."
Wolf Mistress -
: are fortuitous treasure best used immediately after breaking through?
"For first stage, undoubtedly so. For later stage? It is on a case-to-case basis.
- I have a second question... About Body tempering and Meditation... I feel that several options would be better, wouldn't they?
- Indeed. It can circumvent bottlenecks for start, and help turn you into an even more fully fledged cultivator."
(Scroll got from the horse realm I believe), "Now, circulate your True Qi following... You don't have True Qi? Come back later."
"..."
After that block, the scroll became pristine. You don't feel you gained much from it as is.
Adding Weak words -(QM) You've HEARD it's part of the secret to strength.
But is it the only component of the secret? Is that a red herring sent to newbs to prevents them rising to power and rival the sects? I'll just say this is a legit advice.
(NOTE::: Phoenix Ascendancy Poem thread 5 important info)
Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial. Using True Qi to generate Poison in your own body, and countering it, tempering both potency of poison and your ability to fight intruding techniques. But this will have to wait your breakthrough to second stage.

(QM info)
Glad you ask. I created several random table. Technique, beast, treasures... I roll for most of them.

Your character have affinities. From the crunch of my side :
Rules regarding training with Techniques
Be it Body technique, Spiritual tempering technique or Mental Meditation, the goal is to raise the "Raw" stat.
To do so, Martial Artist of the past have found ways to circumvent their shortcomings by balancing their strength to their weakness.

Thread 5 Arc-

So to not strain his body he goes to the snake pits and helps out catching that the snakes were basically uncared for and helps Kyo Kyo out. And getting Ai and Dhundan closer to less argueing. Have to find ideas to get them closer tho.
And the rest of time is studying under Ryota learning letter and talking about the problem with Frost Copper Turtle Town. Outlaying some ideas on how to deal with the problem.

Profit on the horizon we study the scroll from the horse realm(I believe) and don't learn anything since it needs true Qi.
However we roll a 97 on the mounted marksmanship tech learning about Horse, Wind, Bow, Distance and Wind(from Body tempering technique) And learn that Phoenix is quite suited for Word along with thinking of turning body tempering skills into Phoenix's Wide Ballet from Hawk's Wide Ballet and the medical deal goes well.

Next month is more foundation and thinking of roles for the group to better fight in. Dhundan Fountliner, Yi Norm a Fighter, Man Din Heavy Cavalry.
And helping out at the snake pits Snake Mistress returns and gifts Word with a body tempering method
Golden Scales of the Skystone Snake (Gold, Snake, Space, Physical Resistance)
Then onto pushing more foundation and telling Ryota about the machine to help sort disiples we help out picking out new kids for the sect and obtain the treasure Bronze-Petal Bellflower for our cultivation. Alas the kids mostly sucked this year. Also Medicine master Soulgaze gets us dem drugs. For our Kick technique and a inborn True QI Pill.
Sharing a Cup with Ai we talk about her eye skill and learn it's of the highest level and unteachable.
And looking over the nothing to talk about kids using fighting intent to scare them a bit via Voice(Drill Sargent Energy)
The thread then memes Froundation gang and Hawk Gang and memes happen.

Foundation Gang Arc -
Back in the sect we learn that the Emperor died and Ryota, Dragon Fist, Paper Tiger and Inborn Tanuki will strike Copper Frost Trutle Town. It's high risk he says as he hands Word Sonic Crystal honey for the mouth breakthough. Bro ryota also gives Word Fasting pills for his Seclusion training.
Crit bang and evolves our hawk body cultivation into Golden Hawk's Wide Fiery Ballet with fighting intent improving drastically.
And Closeing in on breaking throught Ear aperture.
Next Word finds more enlightenment >Improved Meditation technique into Way of the Spiritual Beast Boundfighter Wanderer
Effect : Better odds for Quiet Word to travel to other realms. Difficulty of the technique unchanged. Also the fasting pills were actually Seclusion Pills, acting as both Fasting and Qi and Blood pills. Also breaking through this week through the Ear aperture and enting the mouth Aperture. Also auto-stablizing to continue the seclusion.
And continuing to crit for the third time.
Being a 1st stage Cultivator creating a mythical technique. Creating the Phoenix Body Cultivation Technique.
But we're not done yet with a forth crit in seclusion.
Entering the snake Realm again (Snake voice prob master of realm says to take care) and acquire some Sea-snake jade Needles and suffer no Consequences from the push of foundation foundation foundation gang. Profit.
Exiting the cave the twins and Yi Norm greet Word and fill him in and not much happened (Ryota rolling 99 and his level 99 friends help him bully the town)
With the bribing of Fairy Wise Crane Ryota empty the coffers and the branch sect profited with True Monarch Frost Copper Turtle getting killed by her. Putting the town under her ownership and Making Frost Beast Town down the line.
And Ryota asking if he can sell his cup to a friend. We agree and get the Phenix Ascendancy poem.
Selling the needles for more drugs we go poke Kyo Kyo for information on talking with spiritual Beasts. But get told to wait till 2nd stage to learn of the matter.
Another breakthough on the Phoenix Arrow Technique
Thread guesses on the poem and two lines of thought are pulled along with getting a meditation technique out of it. A way to improve Word's body tempering technique and finding a place that matches the poem
West of Stormhearth city, in the mountain range bordering the sea.
This lead appears frail and thin to you. Something to keep in mind just in case, but are you confident enough to spend your precious time on an exploration trip there?
Lastly the mouth aperture is 3/5th full and his body reacing the limit of physical resistance.
Ryota then comes by and tells us he's chanced upon a unique opportunity and asks if Word will accept. Which he does but on the condidtion on going to the growth realm and taking the twins and Yi with him which he accepts.
We head down and help Yi with fusing of there spirit which goes off without a hitch. And we find that if training halberd after bow skill yields great results.
Also reaching the apex of Golden scales tech, and we then working getting to the growth realm.
Working on the Phoenix Technique Thread and Word Figures out they were kinda scammed since no phoenix spirit means we can't pull off some techs.
First time trying to take them to the growth realm fails and the girls almost rebel but asking for one more month and this time Word enters with the group with Man Din trusting him.
And with poems idea our plan goes off without a hitch with the Hawk spirit ascending into a Phoenix.
>Ascendant Golden Flame Shrewd Hawk evolved into Shrewd Rising Phoenix
>Phoenix Wide Ballet evolved into Rising Phoenix Wide Ballet
>Poem of the Phoenix Ascendancy renamed Poem of the Rising Phoenix
Also acquiring the Poisonner's Ultimate Selftrial technique and Blood bead.
