They went to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters to seek Jean’s help finding more tears, arriving to find her troubled by the unresolved Stormterror crisis and the lyre’s theft.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions prepared to search for Dvalin’s Sigh, with Jean assigning Lisa to join them. The search teams set out, and Li Qiuzhi and Lisa reached the Eclipse Clan’s Hilichurl tribe, where Lisa deferred explaining whether his two Delusions could let him use two elements at once.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon told Jean that Diluc had identified likely locations for Dvalin’s Sigh, and Jean agreed to send Lisa with them while Kaeya and Amber stayed behind.

• Jean paired with Lumine and Paimon, Diluc paired with Venti, and Lisa paired with Li Qiuzhi before they set out to search.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Lisa to modify his Electro Delusion so he could use two elements, but Lisa postponed her explanation when they reached the Eclipse Clan’s Hilichurl tribe.

Li Qiuzhi and Lisa found the Eclipse Clan camp while tracking Stormterror’s traces, and Li drew its inhabitants out with Pyro arrows. A Cryo Abyss Mage led a mass charge, but Lisa struck down a Mitachurl with powerful Electro, leaving the Hilichurls frozen in fear.

• Li Qiuzhi and Lisa reached the Eclipse Clan camp, where Lisa sensed a powerful enemy inside and told him to draw it out.
• Li Qiuzhi fired Pyro-imbued arrows from cover, killing two Hilichurl Shooters and alerting the camp.
• Nine Mitachurls and other Hilichurls gathered outside the camp as a level-fifty-six Cryo Abyss Mage detected traces of Pyro and directed them toward Li Qiuzhi and Lisa.
• Li Qiuzhi ignited the wooden shields of two charging Mitachurls, and Lisa paralyzed an axe-wielding Mitachurl with Electro before blasting it to the ground.
• The Electro attack frightened the charging Hilichurls into stillness as they stared at the sphere above Lisa’s palm.

• Li Qiuzhi’s Pyro arrows weakened the Cryo Abyss Mage’s shield, and Jean destroyed it with a powerful Anemo slash that spread the flames.
• Lisa’s lightning disrupted the Hydro Abyss Mage’s escape and shattered its shield, defeating it.

• Diluc struck down Dvalin’s wind projectile with a flaming attack as Lumine broke the poison spike.
• Dvalin regained his senses, dispersed his gathered energy and storm, and sunlight shone through the thinning clouds.

After Lumine and the others helped free Dvalin from the Abyss Order's influence, he flew them back toward Mondstadt, where Jean planned to reward the Honorary Knights. At the Knights of Favonius headquarters, they ran into Klee trying to sneak out on an adventure, and Lisa teased Li Qiuzhi about her being called “Auntie.”

• Dvalin thanked Li Qiuzhi and the others, then carried them through the sky toward Mondstadt as Venti comforted him and shared the Anemo Archon's power.

• Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon left the headquarters and headed toward Valberry Street while Paimon recounted her worries during Lumine's battle with Dvalin.
• A string of messages suddenly appeared on Li Qiuzhi's Character Panel.

After saving Dvalin, Li Qiuzhi gained the Rending Gale specialty, which let him channel Anemo without a Vision, and revealed to Lumine and Paimon that he came from another world. Back at home, he raised his level to 30, and Lumine began teaching him how to control Anemo.

• Li Qiuzhi obtained the Rending Gale specialty after the adventure of saving Dvalin, giving him the ability to channel Anemo without a Vision.
• Lumine and Paimon noticed Li Qiuzhi acting strangely, and he demonstrated his new Anemo ability before telling them he was not native to Teyvat.
• Lumine told Li Qiuzhi that she and her brother had arrived in Teyvat together, but an unknown god had taken her brother and stripped her of her power.
• Lumine agreed to teach Li Qiuzhi to use Anemo, while Paimon asked that the lessons count toward their rent and meals.
• At home, Li Qiuzhi spent 8,400 experience points to rise from level 27 to level 30.
• After dinner, Lumine began the lesson by gathering Anemo in her palm so Li Qiuzhi could practice channeling it.

Li Qiuzhi learned to control Anemo with Lumine’s help, then told Amber and Jean that he came from another world. After receiving Brave Heart Artifacts, he joined Lumine, Paimon, and Amber to search for places damaged by the Wind Disaster and put up notices for Lumine’s brother.

• Lumine helped Li Qiuzhi practice controlling Anemo until he successfully gathered it on his own.

Lumine activated the roof’s Teleport Waypoint, prompting Jean and Lisa to investigate before Amber started teaching the flight rules.

• Amber explained that the Headquarters’ second floor stored files and offered a place to rest, then led everyone onto the roof to clear debris and prepare a missing-person notice.
• Amber told Li Qiuzhi and Lumine they needed Flight Licenses and gave them a book to study, while Paimon noticed an inactive Teleport Waypoint atop the nearby spire.
• Lumine explained how Teleport Waypoints worked, activated the rooftop device, and took Amber and Li Qiuzhi to another waypoint and back.
• Amber reported the discovery to Jean, who brought Lisa to examine the activated waypoint; Lisa theorized it let travelers move through the ley lines between key nodes.
• Amber returned to find that she had given Li Qiuzhi and Lumine the wrong book, then taught them the Wind Glider rules and began their flight test.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, and Paimon completed their Flight License tests and helped Amber clear debris and post missing-person notices around Mondstadt. At the blacksmith’s, Li Qiuzhi collected his Elemental Arrows and met Bennett, who said he had been looking for him.

• Cyrus issued the commission with a high danger rating and a payment of two million Mora, and the temporary party departed for Wolvendom.

Li Qiuzhi and the others learned that Rifthounds had injured Springvale hunters and reached the road near the village. They took over the fight from Draff’s hunters and prepared a sneak attack on the pack’s powerful leader.

Li Qiuzhi and the others defeated a group of Rifthounds near Springvale, then followed Draff’s lead to investigate Wolfhook woods in Wolvendom. As night fell, a much larger pack surrounded their campsite, apparently drawn by the scent of their fallen companions.

• Li Qiuzhi warned the hunters to retreat from the Rifthounds’ counterattack, and he, Fischl, Bennett, Oz, and Lumine defeated five monsters together.
• Li Qiuzhi advised Draff’s hunting party to avoid Wolvendom and asked whether they had found clues about where the Rifthounds came from.
• Draff said the injured hunters had encountered the creatures elsewhere in Wolvendom’s Wolfhook woods, so the adventuring party set out to investigate.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Draff and the hunters to take the defeated Rifthounds to the Adventurers’ Guild and the Knights of Favonius for study.
• The party camped in Wolvendom near dusk, where three Rifthounds and more than a dozen Rifthound Whelps approached and surrounded them.

Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Fischl, and Bennett fought off a cunning pack of Rifthounds that used deeper space to ambush them. After the group regrouped and killed many of the whelps, Bennett unleashed Fantastic Voyage to turn the fight around.

• The Rifthounds split up and attacked the group with coordinated ambushes from deeper space.
• Li Qiuzhi killed a Rifthound Whelp with his Pyro-coated sword and then drove off another Rifthound as it emerged behind him.

• Bennett used Passion Overload to kill a whelp, then activated Fantastic Voyage and created an Inspiring Field.

Li Qiuzhi and his companions defeated the Rift monsters at the temporary camp, but a pack of wolves and Razor arrived during the battle. After helping bring down the last Rifthound, Razor asked why the party had come to Wolvendom.

• Bennett healed the party and strengthened them with his Elemental Burst, and they fought off the attacking Rift monsters.

• Razor thanked the party and asked why they had come to Wolvendom.

Razor joined Li Qiuzhi and the others in investigating the Rifthound Monsters, offering to use his Lupical to track them. As the group moved camp, Li Qiuzhi upgraded his stealth skill into a secret-art-tier ability that could conceal his presence and last for an hour.

• Razor explained that the wolves were his family, Lupical, and agreed to help investigate the Rifthound Monsters.
• Li Qiuzhi asked Razor to locate the monsters, and Bennett suggested using crushed grass to mask their scent before Li Qiuzhi volunteered to scout invisibly.
• The group agreed that Razor and Lupical would find the monsters while Li Qiuzhi scouted, with the others ready to support him.
• The adventurers collected the Rifthound Monsters' claws and moved to a safer campsite.
