The public carriages that departed at dawn were all inter-provincial carriages.

The first carriage of the day departs from Starry Night City, heading towards Night South City, the capital of Night South Province.

"Clang clang clang~"

The bell in the front hall rang.

The stable owner called out to the waiting passengers in the lobby to line up for routine checks and ticket inspections.

One by one, travelers carrying their luggage passed through the doorway deep in the front hall and came to the three-carriage carriage in the backyard, looking for their seats according to the numbers on their tickets.

A gentle breeze drifted past the queuing crowd and into the half-open train window.

Soon, the carriage was filled with passengers. The driver cracked his whip, urging the packhorses out of the stables' backyard, through the city gates of Starry Night City, and then galloping south along the wide trade road.

The carriage traveled across a river several hundred meters wide, leaving the territory of Starry Night City and entering a dense forest of mountains, where its speed suddenly decreased.

A gentle breeze drifted out of the car window, into the roadside woods, and towards the distant hilltop.

On the summit of an unnamed low mountain, Xia Zuo's figure appeared in a swirling breeze.

This long journey was to complete a delivery mission, and Beatrice temporarily provided an alchemical pouch with 2 cubic meters of storage space.

..

[Item Name] Alchemy Pocket

[Item Type] Curious Alchemy Product

[Item Grade] Expert

[Item Quality] Completion rate 100%, Perfect

[Item Characteristics] Stores items; does not have item transfer function.

[Size] 2 cubic meters

[Item Effects]

You may only use your left or right hand to pick up or put in items.

..

The poison to be transported was sealed in a metal box and placed in an alchemy pouch.

In addition, essential items for the journey, such as potions for satiety, water supply, and constipation, as well as other functional potions, and a bag containing a change of clothes, were also placed in the alchemy pouch.

All Xia Zuo had to do was to identify the correct direction, avoid getting lost in the wilderness, and smoothly deliver the poison to his old acquaintance along the pre-arranged route.

The person who met Xia Zuo in West City, a city in the northern part of Ye Nan Province, was none other than his senior, Mars.

Xia Zuo gazed at the forest and mountains, a thought struck him, and he brought up his character template, clicking the plus sign next to "Vitality" repeatedly.

..

[Vitality] 28+10→38

[Health] 90 + 40 → 130

[Base Health Regeneration Speed]

24 points/hour

[Free Attribute Points] 45-10→35

..

After allocating the 10th free attribute point, the base health regeneration speed is just slightly faster than the movement speed of the Wind Walk spell. As long as you don't run into a gust of wind head-on, the health regeneration speed of 24 points/hour is enough.

Xia Zuo stopped in time, keeping the remaining 35 free attribute points for later use.

He took out his compass to determine the direction, then transformed into a cloud of energy once more and traversed the forest, drifting towards Yenan Province.

Completing the poison-making task is not the only way to earn points.

The elements of academic disciplines need to be represented by a large number of unconventional elements.

The resident monks of each town and city use a tool called the "Distant View Pearl" to observe the situation within their own stronghold.

Once an unruly element is discovered near the stronghold, the garrison mage will send his assistant to collect it using an elemental imprisonment bottle.

The mage's assistant swept away the unruly elements near the stronghold, but he couldn't care less about the unruly elements deep in the forest.

Within the kingdom's borders, any untamed elementals you encounter are invariably small-sized. Larger untamed elements lie hidden deep within the desolate wilderness beyond the kingdom's borders.

Ordinary mage servants do not possess wind magic and rarely venture deep into the forest. This is even more true for garrison mages, who must remain in the castle at all times to control the Vision Orb and monitor their outposts.

Xia Zuo planned a route that was rarely traveled, also hoping to catch a few small unruly elements by chance.

After flying for two hours, he found a shady hill to rest on.

The surrounding trees are gradually becoming predominantly white, and the number of artificially planted brown trees has sharply decreased.

Just as Xia Zuo was lamenting that the forest scenery was all the same and the journey was tedious, his gaze was drawn to the canopy of a large tree.

He circled the tree canopy once, confirming that hidden beneath the leaves was a free-spirited element radiating a blue glow.

Judging from the color of the light, it is a wind elemental.

However, it is unclear what specific traits they are.

Xia Zuo has not yet learned the [Eye of Kolas] meditation method, nor has he exchanged for a single eye to observe elemental patterns.

All he knew was that he just had to catch them.

Submitting a small Unruly Element will earn you 20 points! You can keep it for yourself; the academy doesn't require you to submit it.

A cloud of vapor slowly approached the treetops, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves. Beneath the leaves, untamed elements floated silently.

It's dangerous to revert to human form while clinging to the tree trunk. The trunk has branches, and if you revert back to human form with an extra branch inside your body, it'll be a huge problem. Climbing to the treetop will also disturb the unruly elements.

After a moment's thought, Xia Zuo came up with a solution.

He floated to a higher point in the treetop, facing the location of the unruly element to his side and below, locking onto the space around the target.

Dispel the Windwalk spell.

His figure appeared in mid-air and then plummeted to the ground under the influence of gravity.

"Hand of the Wind".

He used [Spell Instinct] to unleash a palm-shaped stream of air that firmly grasped the leaves surrounding the Unruly Elemental, causing it to fall down along with the leaves.

"Tivanas Wind Walk".

Just before reaching the ground, Xia Zuo paused and transformed back into his cloud-like form.

The wind's hand, holding the leaves, dissipated, and the leaves fell to the ground. A tiny point of light flew out from among the falling leaves, attempting to drift into the sky and hide back in the treetops.

Dispel the Windwalk spell.

Xia Zuo used the cloud-like energy to avoid the fall damage, his feet firmly planted on the ground, and he raised his hand to release a palm-shaped stream of energy once again.

The small cyan light was bound by the invisible air and was slowly dragged towards the figure below.

Xia Zuo leaped high into the air, swung his right hand upwards to grab the small point of light, and then pulled a tiny glass bottle from the alchemy pouch under his robe.

Uncork the bottle, press your right palm against the bottle opening, then put the cork back on. A small blue dot will appear inside the glass bottle.

The message from the cheat system came to my mind:

"Successfully using the Hand of Wind and the Portable Elemental Imprisonment Bottle to seal a small wind elemental, rewarding 20 experience points, 0.02 agility points, 0.02 strength points, and a small amount of spirit and a trace of perception attribute value."

"???" Xia Zuo was stunned after reading the message.

Grabbing unruly elements with the Hand of Wind will surprisingly grant bonuses to Strength and Agility!

Mental and sensory rewards should come from [spell training].

The bonuses to Strength and Agility are related to the unique features of the Wind Hand spell.

Xia Zuo happily put away the Elemental Imprisonment Bottle, grinned, and looked smugly at the leaves on the ground, reviewing the spell template of the Wind Hand in his mind.

..

[Spell Name] Hand of the Wind

[Spell Type] Support, Manipulation

[Spell Grade] Trick

[Related Trait] Wind: Drifting

[Spell Power] Current maximum power: 27 points (2+20+5)

[Spell Description 1] Affected by the Cyclone Brooch, the spell's power is increased by 20 points.

【法术说明2】此法术会受到躯体的【力量】与【敏捷】影响。每1点力量,提升1点威能。每2点敏捷,提升1点为威能。

[Spell Effect]

When this spell is cast, a palm-shaped stream of energy is summoned. The maximum weight that the energy stream can support is half the spell's power.

..

The power of the Hand of Wind is associated with strength and agility.

Xia Zuo discovered this unique feature when he was using a spell scroll to infuse the spell into his mind.

Over the past two years, he has manipulated many things with his Wind Hand, but has only received rewards in terms of experience, spirit, and perception.

It now appears that only spellcasting operations with higher difficulty can trigger the bonuses to strength and agility.

This reward information reminded Xia Zuo of something.

During the lesson where he used a spell scroll to instill the Wind Hand spell into her mind, he had asked Beatrice if there were many spells similar to the Wind Hand spell, and if the spell's effects were related to physical attributes.

Beatrice gave a mysterious smile, offering no further explanation, only saying that she would know when she was promoted to a formal mage.

Xia Zuo speculated at the time that the Warriors Guild's use of breathing techniques to introduce meditation, and their subsequent transformation into mages after acquiring strong physical attributes, must have had a deeper meaning.

There must be melee-focused mages in this world.

Xia Zuo put aside his thoughts and found a shady spot to rest for a while.

Half an hour later, he took out a compass to determine the direction, and then transformed into a cloud of gas and set off again.

It was approaching evening.
