Dou Qi / Spiritual State Cultivation

A ) Qi Method

Qi Method is like a foundation for you as a Dou Practitioner. It is like your internal energy skill. You can only possess 1 Dou Qi Method at a time and you at least have to be a Dou Zhe (Dou Practitioner). If you want a new Dou Qi Method then you will have to abandon your current Dou Qi Method. Then you will have to train the new method from the beginning. This is why it is very important which Dou Qi Method you choose. 

A Dou Qi Method gives your Dou Qi an attribute, or element. Without a Dou Qi Method, a person's Dou Qi would be described as white, or colorless. Learning a Dou Qi Method gives color to a person's Dou Qi. For example, Low Huang Class fire attribute Dou Qi Methods make Dou Qi a pale yellow color. The higher the rank of the method, the deeper the color.

Classes:

Huang (Yellow): This is the first rank skill class and within each skill there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.

Xuan (Black)

Di (Earth)

Tian (Heaven)

B ) Dou Technique

Dou Qi Technique Ranking is separated into 4 classes. The higher the level, the stronger the skill. Once you have reached Dou Practitioner, you are able to learn skills and abilities. Reading scrolls is the most common way to gain a new skill; however, there are other ways to obtain abilities. You can even develop new and unique abilities through rigorous training. Though uncommon, these are abilities that have never been seen before and are unique to you.

Classes:

Huang (Yellow): This is the first rank skill class and within each skill there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.

Xuan (Black)

Di (Earth)

Tian (Heaven)

C ) Spiritual State (Soul Realm)

There are 4 states for Spiritual Strength.

Mortal State: Ranging from 1st to 7th ranked Alchemists.

Soul State: 8th ranked Alchemists.

Heavenly State: Divided into 3 stages first, after and full. This is the level of 9th ranked Alchemists, at the peak Heavenly State, it could span for 10 thousand of miles, also in this stage, the soul can become solid as strong as the body so instead of one Xiao Yan for example, there is now 4.

Di / Emperor State: Can span for hundred thousands of miles. Achieving Emperor State however is easier than making a Di Rank Pill or becoming a Dou Di.
