Forgot to mention recently, but I rechecked Xue’s cultivation method which involved Phoenix fire, Turtle water, Tiger wind, and Dragon lightning. Her new golden winged serpent is still water now so turtle is the way to go, unless it goes through some special mutation when it’s affected by the Dragon cultivation later on after flame of pride Phoenix is over.
My guess is that spIrit stat Is mostly linked to the soul. increasing it will increase their senses and resistance to spiritual attacks. while this may be the case it may also include her ability to memorize and comprehend things, keep her clear minded and improve her overall intelligence and wisdom. Will be very helpful when improving her battle style, group battles, learning new things from the instructors & further comprehending the martial arts or her cultivation technique without the help of the system all the time. Plus she will be able to take better care during her ‘lucky’ encounters where she is at risk of death but if she survives she gets lots of valuables. She was lucky the man was somewhat careless during the last encounter and did not find her because of the hiding ability plus hiding skills. also lucky the man did not check the body of the fox before leaving, the boss behind the scenes was smarter so if she went there herself such mistakes may not have been available thanks to her talismans and being much smarter than the man. not only would our main characters plot armor (luck) not be on her side but she would be silences before she could even try to get any benefits.
