The old spirit vessel bobbed up and down, tossing Wang Qi about until he was miserable. This vessel had originally been a medium cargo ship converted into a passenger ship, one of the batches the Immortal Alliance had phased out for civilian use sixty or seventy years ago. Its stability could not compare to the large passenger ships the Immortal Academy used to transport students.
Fortunately, Wang Qi was no longer the ignorant Wu Xia A-Meng of old. He had long since found ways to deal with motion sickness.
"Hey!" Wang Qi hung a rope from the beam in his cabin, then suspended himself from it.
Motion sickness arose because one's sense of balance was too strong while one's tolerance for imbalance could not keep up. Balance perception was innate, but it could also improve with cultivation.

If he relied only on riding in carriages and ships to train, Wang Qi's tolerance would never keep pace with the growth of his sensitivity.
