Hello, a cultivator starts with a focus pool of 1 focus point with cultivator dedication.
With immortal lightness, the character gains on other focus spell, but the feat doesn't mention if the character gains a second focus point. So does the character obtain a second or not focus point ?
With three pecks of dew, the character gains :
- You become sanctified with the holy trait.
- When you perform the Subsist downtime activity, you can use Occultism for the skill check (instead of the skills normally associated with your environment). If you do so, this
activity gains the vitality trait as you subsist on ambient qi within your environment’s dew-laden air and create shelter from solidified emanations of qi.
So, food and drink from the ki, is it right ?
- Additionally, when you Refocus, you can also Treat Wounds at the same time. If you do so, you can use Occultism for checks to Treat Wounds and disregard the need for a healer’s kit; this activity gains the vitality trait as you circulate healing qi through your own body or transfuse your ally with healing qi.
If you refocus, does Treat wounds lose the exploration, manipulate trait ?
Thanks for your future answer.

1. Gaining a focus spell always gives you a focus point if you don't have 3, yet. Specific feats never need to restate that you gain a point.
2. Yes, you are subsisting on ambient qi, not needing to have food and drink available.
3. Nothing says that either the Exploration or Manipulate traits are lost, but since it still takes 10 minutes, it would be a pretty rare case where either of those traits being present or not actually matters.

Yes. That.
More generally, only legacy feats still have the outdated language of giving focus points any more. Nothing since the Remaster should have that bit of text.
The legacy feats and any new feats that do have that text saying that you increase you focus pool would be reminder text. The number of points in your focus pool is now a general rule.
You automatically gain a focus pool the first time you gain an ability that gives you a focus spell. The maximum number of points in your pool is equal to the number of focus spells you know or 3, whichever is lower. This counts only spells that require Focus Points to cast. For example, a bard's composition cantrips don't count toward the size of the pool.
