Qi Sense

Qi Sense is a Cultivator exclusive Skill that affects their Cultivation in various ways, the most common of which is increasing Max Qi for Xiandao Cultivators before Golden Core Breakthrough, increasing their Golden Core Quality and therefore subsequent Cultivation. This Skill is visible at the Outer Disciple stage, although it has no effect until they are promoted to a Cultivator.
== Effects==
Qi Sense Skill Level affects the following Properties:
===Effects on Xiandao Cultivation===
Qi Sense affects a number of PropertiesSettings\Property\PracticeProperty.xml:
* Cultivation Speed Bonus (DeepPracticeSpeedSpecialCoefficient) - 4% per Skill Level, stacks multiplicatively with other bonuses.
*Qi Absorption Speed Bonus (LingAbsorbSpeed) - 5% per Skill Level, stacks multiplicatively with other bonuses.
*Max Qi (NpcLingMaxValue) - 2.4% per Skill Level, stacks multiplicatively with other bonuses.
*Breakthrough chance bonus for one Sixteen Supreme Steps Law bottleneck (Qi_1_5_25) - 10% per Skill Level
===Effects on Shendao Cultivation===
*Max Qi (NpcLingMaxValue) - 2.4% per Skill Level, stacks multiplicatively with other bonuses.
**While there is a minimal effect on Max Qi, the majority of Shendao Max Qi comes from their Guards and are implemented as flat value bonuses, and the effect is therefore nearly negligible.
===Effects on Body Cultivation===
Qi Sense affects a number of PropertiesSettings\Property\BodyPraticeProperty.xml:
* Global Secret Body Penetration (Percent) (BodyPractice_SuperPartAddp_ArmorPenetration) - 1% per Skill Level
* Global Secret Body Suppression (Percent) (BodyPractice_SuperPartAddp_CatchFabao) - 1% per Skill Level
