In the sect tab, if you start training sect members, you are stuck doing that until the end of time. And if you save and exit, the sect is reset to it's base 50 villagers and 15 potential disciples. even tho before I saved i had over a thousand potential disciples and over 600 villagers.
Also the golden core is unavailable every time you load your save until it's re-unlocked.
Additionally the cost to upgrade stats is reset every time you load a save as well, making it kind of a cheat to mass boost stats by raising your stats as much as you can, save, close the game, launch the game, load save and repeat.
As a side note, I'd like to know if their is a way to upgrade/effect my discipline, corruption, QI, and luck because they seem unaffected no matter what I do. Or are they just placeholders for future updates as you mentioned enemies of some sort in your last comment about a month ago?
Also I've noticed that leveling soul effects how much you're able to cultivate per bar fill, however upgrading body doesn't seem to do anything.
And lastly, can I upgrade my golden core to grade 2? And what does the golden core do? I've tried spam clicking it to fill the bar but I can't tell if it's doing anything.
