In the midst of a dizzying whirl, Lu Qianqian felt her consciousness rapidly escaping as if it were being flung from her body.

To protect the younger ones, Ai Changguang had risked his life, not dodging and directly receiving the impact from Star Flash Sky. He and Lu Qianqian by his side were pushed by the force of the impact, flying away together.

The two flew horizontally and crashed onto a coast at high speed. It was a broad beach strewn with rocks. There were no cliffs here, and no barriers facing the sea, with randomly scattered stones and trees everywhere to be seen.

The sharp gravel pierced through the already depleted Protective Gang Qi. Ai Changguang coughed up a mouthful of blood and passed out. If it were only the impact from Star Flash Sky, this Primordial Spirit Master wouldn't have had much trouble resisting it. However, to protect the others, he didn't retreat a single step, resulting in even his foundation being shaken. Moreover, before this, he had fought with a demon dragon of equal rank, the mana consumed more than half, and his body suffered a sword injury, a hint of Dragon's Majesty Sword Intent lurking within the wound, eroding the Primordial Spirit.

Lu Qianqian wiped the sand and blood off her face, her breath laced with panic. Even the Primordial Spirit Master was seriously injured and unconscious, which made her somewhat terrified. After gasping for breath on the damp sand and stones for a moment, she stood up to look around.

She couldn't figure out whether she had crashed onto the beach from over the sea or if she had simply flown over the entire island before crashing down. It took a good while before she could regain some composure. Lu Qianqian tried shaking Ai Changguang: "Brother Changguang... Brother Changguang..." But she didn't hold out much hope. Afterward, she searched on Ai Changguang's body, hoping to find a Storage Magic Artifact. Ai Changguang's Storage Magic Artifact happened to be an Advanced Storage Bag. Lu Qianqian tried to open it and managed to find some elixirs. But alas, the gap between them was simply too great, the restriction that Ai Changguang left on the Storage Bag wasn't something she could remove.

Afterward, Lu Qianqian tried to channel mana into Ai Changguang for healing. More than two hours later, she vomited a mouthful of blood. It was also a futile effort. Even if it was just a Low-Grade Primordial Spirit, that was still a Primordial Spirit; the soul undergoing qualitative sublimation, the body already extraordinary, and its form of existence different from before. Even if Lu Qianqian were to squeeze out all her vitality, it wouldn't be enough for Ai Changguang to lift a finger.

Lu Qianqian felt as if thousands of needles were stirring inside her Dantian. She endured the pain and took out some elixir from her own Storage Bag and swallowed them. Looking back at Ai Changguang, she also recalled the vastness of the power she felt upon probing with her mana earlier. She guessed that all the elixirs on her person fed to him would be useless, so she decided to save these few elixirs for emergencies.

"What to do, what to do..." Lu Qianqian cried with a tear-stained face: "What should I do... Changyuan... sniff..."

Not far away, several green eyeballs slowly approached.

On the other side of the island, Ai Changyuan reached out to pull Wu Shiqin out of the water: "How are you, can you still walk?"

Wu Shiqin grabbed Ai Changyuan's hand with her right hand to leverage herself up onto the rocks. The coast they were at was steep, with hardly any sand or mud to be seen.

After getting ashore, Wu Shiqin held her shin with her right hand, but her left hand remained clenched behind her back. This coast was close to the Dragon Abyss Cold Current, the current was fast, the flow was rapid, and the seabed was rugged with reefs. Only by using both hands and feet could they barely overcome the powerful underwater currents and get to shore. Wu Shiqin's shin bone had broken during the impact of Star Flash Sky and was further fractured in the sea, with the skin on her hands also worn off, the pain was unbearable.

"Junior Sister Wu, you'd better not hold that left hand, be careful the whole hand grows together." Ai Changyuan looked around and then walked towards the shore. Moments later, he threw a stick of wood beside Wu Shiqin: "Fix it."

"No need..." Wu Shiqin was slowly inducing the shattered bones in her shin. Metal elements were the easiest to manipulate in Heavenly Song, especially iron, cobalt, and nickel. Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and strontium in the bones are relatively easier to maneuver. Of course, when Heavenly Song reached advanced levels, there weren't many elements that couldn't be controlled.

Ai Changyuan shook his head: "As you wish... although I don't think forcibly joining it together is a good idea."

"The most important thing now is to ensure mobility; the necrotic parts can be healed later with a Life Creation Pill." Wu Shiqin's complexion turned white, forcing the broken bones to couple together was extremely painful.

Ai Changyuan rummaged in his Storage Bag for a while and managed to find some useful elixirs, which he threw to Wu Shiqin. She also took out some medicine for external injuries, applied it to her palms, and then wrapped them with bandages. These bandages were all inscribed with talismans, though not fast in recovery, the effects were astonishing, even capable to some extent of replenishing the vitality of the wounded parts, making the healed body even stronger.

After treating the wounds, Wu Shiqin asked, "What do we do now?"

"Wang Qi just gave you a calculator, right? Let me use it."

Looking at Ai Changguang extending his hand, Wu Shiqin handed over the calculator tied to her waist. It was a palm-sized rectangular Jade Plate. She was somewhat puzzled, "On you..."

"Silence." Ai Changyuan gestured to his mouth, shook his head, then went through the calculator: "Hmm, this calculator really is quite clean, huh... Spirit Sense sections in both Ding and Wu are pretty inoperable."
