Can a feat taken as a Qinggong power be used as a prerequisite?

[haremlord]

I'm building an Unchained monk that I want to have use the Cut from the Air feat, but I don't see using Power Attack too often (more of a finesse build), so I was thinking about taking Power Attack as a Qinggong ki power.

Can a feat picked up in that manner be used as a prerequisite for another feat? If so, do you need to spend a ki point in order to use the other feat? Basically, would I need to spend a ki point every time I use Cut from the Air?

To have Cut from the Air, you need Power Attack, unless you have a special prerequisite-breaker. If you only have Power Attack when you spend Ki on it, then you only have Cut from Air when you spend Ki on Power Attack.

This is similar to how the Brawler's Flurry counts as TWF, but only when you're using it, or the Barbarian's Greater Brawler rage power counts as TWF, but also only when you're raging and fighting unarmed.
