I'm planning to make my level 2 monk a Qinggong monk, but I really don't understand how exactly works the Ki Power's substitution. Not problem at level 4, as you substitute a level 4 Ki power option for another at level 4, but what happens at level 6 (and later)?
You not gain High Jump at 5 and later at level 6 gain the new Ki Power?
You gain the new Ki Power at 6 and not gain Wholeness of Body at level 7?
As I suspect, something completely different?

The levels are matched up incredibly poorly. You can't even select any of the "8th level ki powers" until level 11!
I think by RAW you're stuck with selecting what powers are equal to your level or lower. So at 7th level, you can trade wholeness of body for 6th or 4th level ki powers, but not 8th level ones, and would not gain the ki power until the level you gained the class feature being replaced. If it were my game, I'd probably just let you "bankroll" them for later to offset the level mismatch stupidity. As in, you could drop wholeness of body at 7th for no gain, then when you hit level 8, use it to grab an 8th level ki power. That is definitely not how it currently works, though.
