Li Qiu let out a silent sigh inwardly: among the five of them, only Ziyu possessed the wood spiritual root and could practice the spells from the *Azure Wood Formula*. And it was only for wood-element spells that Li Qiu could offer guidance or corrections; for spells of the other four elements, he was entirely powerless to help.
To keep the gale-force winds from being too fierce, Li Qiu deliberately reduced the speed of the Void Sky Shuttle to half its usual pace. Yet this meant the journey would take significantly longer; the trip from the Qingmu Sect to Ganquan Valley normally took six or seven days, but now it would require fully half a month.
As time slowly passed, the five disciples transitioned from their initial fear and excitement to a gradual sense of adaptation, becoming calm and settled.
