The Legend of Fangren

Speaking of the [smoked furnace] and [blast furnace], both of them are rather useless in the game.

Because they can only fire specific types of items: smoke ovens fire food, and blast furnaces fire minerals.

However, the demand for these two types of items in the game is not very high. Cooked food can be bought from a game character called a villager, and finished mineral ingots can be obtained in large quantities through other means. Fortunately, now that we are in reality, perhaps the status of these two blocks can rise a bit.

Fang Shi first attached a smoke furnace block to his left hand. The recipe for this block is very simple; it can be crafted by surrounding the furnace with four peeled logs.

As for [peeled logs], the bark of the log is cut diagonally with an axe. This way, the power of dissolving will remove the bark, leaving only the barkless log inside.

To be on the safe side, Fang Shi wanted to experiment with ordinary animal meat steaks he had picked up from corpses, but last night he had already thrown all that "miscellaneous stuff" into his spiritual space.

He had just burned all the ordinary pork chops from Cangzhi Deer.

"..."

Never mind, there are six pieces of Cangzhi Deer meat steak anyway, so it won't hurt to burn one first.

He threw it into the smokehouse, added fuel, and lit it to ignite the furnace.

But he soon discovered that the smoking furnace was not firing very quickly—could it be that the smoking furnace made of ordinary materials could not exert its power on first-order spiritual flesh?

If it's just a little slow, that's fine, but I'm worried about burning the meat.

After waiting patiently for a while, Fang Shi obtained a piece of cooked spirit meat steak, which looked no different from an ordinary cooked meat steak.

However, Fang Shi carefully noticed that the smoke furnace did not produce experience orbs, which meant that the profound energy in the spirit meat strips had not been refined and separated.

I see……

So this is the power and effect it has. In that case, Hezi can eat this pork chop without any problem.

Before long, the training team moved from the forest plains onto the mountain path.

The mountain, which doesn't look very big from a distance, becomes quite deep once you start walking up. The path is barely a path; it's just a bit sparse with vegetation.

In spring, the trees and leaves are lush and green, and the overgrown grass almost covers the bare soil. The disciples have to use their magical artifacts to clear the way, and their stomachs feel even hungrier after traveling all this way.

The thought of having to compete with mythical beasts for a cave to sleep in once we reach the mountaintop is truly discouraging.

And... why does the aroma of meat wafting from behind me seem even stronger now? (Annoyed)

This time, not only the senior and junior sisters, but also the two elders finally couldn't help but turn around and look at Fang Shi without any hesitation.

Everyone else didn't have a storage magic item, only this guy did, so it's obvious he was the one stealing it.

"Hiccup~"

After letting out a burp, Fang Shi said earnestly, "Keep it up, we'll be able to eat dinner soon."

Others: "..."

Moved by his encouragement, the girls all pursed their lips tightly and buried themselves in climbing the mountain.

Aside from Hezi, she was probably extremely hungry, and leaned closer again: "Recipe..."

Judging from her eyes, she seemed to be plotting something against the grease left on Fang Shi's lips.

Hey—Hey, calm down, you can't lick this.

Fang Shi quickly pushed Luo He's face away to prevent an indecent incident from happening in broad daylight.

He had only taken a small bite of the cooked spirit meat steak to test its flavor.

He has a special constitution, so he can eat all day long without much problem, but other ordinary people should not do this, especially since digesting spiritual and physical food is a burden on the body and consumes more energy than other ordinary foods.

The internal organs move in a regular manner according to the circulation of Qi in the body, so it is good to have regular eating and resting habits as well.

Therefore, Fang Shi refused to feed He Bao until it was mealtime.

As compensation, perhaps he could make dinner a little better.

He immediately took out the Nourishing Rest Method and began searching for the text.

Within the chapters related to spirits and monsters, there are many texts about spiritual plants. Compared to mythical beasts, the descriptions of spirits and monsters are much richer.

Fang Shi wanted to find out if there were any better ones among them.

Because Hezi's zodiac sign is metal, to be honest, she hasn't been eating very well lately. Take today's lunch, for example, the Cangzhi deer ribs, which are more wood in the zodiac sign, and they're quite good compared to the other senior and junior sisters.

They are both of the Wood element. Even the two elders of the Water element can nourish their Wood essence by eating the flesh of Wood spirits, thus creating a powerful Wood element that controls Water.

The only exception is the metal element of Hezi. Even though the first-order wood element spirit body and profound qi are mild, and wood itself is a living element, it is still lacking compared to the obvious enhancements of others.

Over time, Luohe's internal energy will inevitably be less abundant than others. Before a cultivator establishes an outer circulatory system, their internal energy does not have the ability to automatically recover and must be replenished by consuming spiritual items.

In the end, Fang Shi searched high and low, but all he wanted to find were spiritual plants related to metal and earth.

However, gold is as precious as gold, and hard to find. Earth-related plants are easier to find. He read through the books on earth-related spiritual plants and found that these plants often had a common characteristic: swollen tuberous roots. This is consistent with the function of plant roots absorbing nutrients from the soil. In terms of function, they also belong to the earth element, which is associated with accumulation.

Similar crops exist in Minecraft, such as beets and carrots...

The power of dissolving can collect items of different kinds but belonging to the same category into your backpack; various types of wood and stone are the best examples.

The tuberous plants buried in the soil are hard to find, and even harder to find among a bunch of messy grass and trees. Even if you call on other people, it is still difficult to find them based on the pictures in the text.

Fang Shi simply started hitting things randomly, striking left and right along the way, and only after obtaining a bunch of strange seeds and crops would he try to identify them.

Move the items to the quick access space on your right hand so you can see them in your palm without stopping.

The weeds and wildflowers were not needed for the time being, so he simply threw them into the bottom of his backpack. In the end, he actually managed to sift out a handful of seeds and a root crop.

This thing is somewhat similar to the [beetroot] in the game, except that it is not red and is closer to earth brown in color. After careful comparison with the book, it can be confirmed that this is a spirit plant crop called [earthball grass].

[Soil Ball Grass]: Distributed in the eastern mountain forest system, it is a relatively common soil-type spiritual plant. Its roots can fix the soil, but once it becomes a spirit, it will cause the surrounding land to become overly solidified, turning living fields into dead soil.

If some of the food accidentally gets mixed into the field, there is a very high chance that there will be no harvest at all on harvest day.

Competition among plants is equally fierce in the natural environment.

"So it seems this stuff is still harmful to other crops."

However, precisely because it is very good at absorbing nutrients, the tubers of the Earth Ball Grass are very solid and substantial, making it easy for it to reach the level of a first-tier spirit animal.

Fang Shi compared the tuber of the sphagnum moss in his hand to the others, and it was already larger than his entire palm.

Great, now our little Hebao will have something to eat.

In addition, there are some seeds of sedge that can be kept for planting.

He's been breaking down a lot of animal bones lately; I wonder how many batches that would be if broken down into bone meal. It's a real shame he didn't plant more.
