Soul Cultivation

## Description

The field of Soul Cultivation introduced by Xianxia focuses on soul abilities, soulforce, and wisdom.

## Progress

Progress in the field of soul cultivation takes place in several places, the first of which is the He'Xin'Dao Soul Arena. Here, the Champion can attend Mrs Shigure's lectures on the matter. The metrics for determining how advanced a soul cultivator is are:

* **Cultivation Stage**: This is increased by using the **Cultivation** option in the **Soulforce** menu.
* **Cultivation Level**: A numerical representation of cultivation stage.
* **Additional Soulforce from training**: The increase to maximum soulforce brought about by meditating. See Meditations section for more information on how this works.
* **Dantain**: ?
* **Uses of Soulforce per day**: These are taken up each time you use self-sustain, repress lust, adjust corruption, or mana conversion.

## Soulforce Camp Actions

Once unlocked, the **Soulforce** option becomes available while in camp. Here, the Champion can use their non-combat abilities, which are:

### Meditations

When performed while wearing soul training equipment, this increases your maximum soulforce. To fully max this out, you need to be wearing every piece of soul training equipment when meditating.

### Contemplate

The Champion progresses through the layers of Dao as they contemplate each of the elements. Be aware each period spent contemplating takes several hours.

### Soul Sense

This incredibly useful ability allows the Champion to specifically seek out any potential follower or lover they would normally need to rely on random chance to encounter.

### Self-Sustain

Allows the player to use some of their soulforce to suppress their hunger by a given amount.

### Repress Lust

Allows the player to use some of their soulforce to reduce their lust by a given amount.

### Adjust Corruption

Allows the player to increase or decrease their corruption by using their soulforce. The largest increment that corruption can be changed by is ±20.

### Mana

The Champion can freely convert their mana to soulforce and vice versa.

### Cultivation

A core part of progressing in your journey as a soul cultivator, once you have attended a lecture at the Soul Arena, this is how to ascend in cultivation stage.

## Soulforce Combat

Manuals that teach the Champion particular moves that use their soulforce can be purchased from the Soul Items merchant in He'Xin'Dao. The following is a complete list of moves available:

**Do not attempt to purchase manuals that contain moves above your ability level.** The merchant will happily take your gems and give you the manual, which you will then fail to read. The manual will then promptly disappear from your hands, taking your spirit stones with it. Sadly, no option exists to burn down the store in retaliation.
