The Raw Leaf Porridge quest in Where Winds Meet looks simple on paper: talk to a patient, fetch a prescription, and hand it back. In practice, the game gives you almost no map guidance, which is why many players wander Kaifeng for far too long.
This breakdown focuses on what the game actually expects you to do: where to start, where Fu Wenshu is standing, how the inventory interaction works, and what you earn for finishing.
Raw Leaf Porridge quest basics
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Game | Where Winds Meet |
| Quest name | Raw Leaf Porridge |
| Quest line | One Leaf, One Life: Phase II |
| Main NPC (patient) | Zhen Ping'an |
| Key NPC (doctor) | Fu Wenshu |
| Quest type | Short delivery / fetch (prescription) |
The quest is tighter and more linear than it first appears. There are no combat gates or branching paths; the main friction comes from the game not marking Fu Wenshu clearly on the map and from one easy-to-miss dialogue step at the pharmacy.
Raw Leaf Porridge rewards
Finishing the quest pays out modest but useful early-game resources tied to Kaifeng exploration and character growth.
| Reward type | Amount / description |
|---|---|
| Echo Jade | x30 |
| Kaifeng Exploration Points | x10 |
| Coins | x2500 |
| Stored EXP | x2500 |
Because it also advances One Leaf, One Life: Phase II, it is worth doing as soon as you are moving through Kaifeng and its surrounding districts.
How to start Raw Leaf Porridge (South Gate Avenue)
The quest starts with Zhen Ping'an, a patient tied to the tale of the porridge his mother once made.
| Step | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Go to South Gate Avenue | Look for the quest marker in the street, not inside a building. |
| 2 | Find Zhen Ping'an | He is standing on the street near the “little pharmacy” area. |
| 3 | Talk to him once | Let his story about the porridge, his mother, and the supposed cure play out. |
| 4 | Talk to him again | On the second interaction, he opens an “inventory” style trade window expecting a prescription. |
That second interaction is where many players assume something is broken. The map does not update with a clear marker, and the inventory interface looks like you already have the item even though you do not. At this point, the game silently expects you to go and track down the doctor who issued the prescription.
Where to find Fu Wenshu and the prescription
The prescription itself is not hidden in a container or locked behind combat. It is tied to Fu Wenshu, a doctor standing by the riverside. The only real challenge is knowing where along the river to look.
Using the right teleport
The fastest route uses a nearby teleport stone:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Recommended teleport | Forsaken Quarter teleport stone |
| Target area | Riverbank near a fishing dock and stairs |
| NPC to find | Fu Wenshu |
From the Forsaken Quarter teleport stone, move toward the river. You are looking for a small dock with fishing activity and a set of stairs nearby. Fu Wenshu stands in this cluster of characters along the water.
Talking to Fu Wenshu
Once you reach the riverbank:
- Approach Fu Wenshu and start a conversation.
- Exhaust all his dialogue; do not back out early.
- After the conversation completes, he gives you the prescription item.
There is no extra interaction required after the dialogue; the prescription is simply added to your inventory. You do not need to pick it from a choice list or confirm it in an extra prompt.
Returning the prescription to Zhen Ping'an
With the prescription in hand, you are effectively done. The last steps just mirror the beginning of the quest.
| Step | Action | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fast travel or walk back to South Gate Avenue | Use any convenient teleport near the “little pharmacy” and return to the same street where you met Zhen Ping'an. |
| 2 | Talk to Zhen Ping'an again | The same inventory-like window appears, but this time the prescription can be given. |
| 3 | Select the prescription item | Highlight the prescription in your inventory and confirm the handover. |
| 4 | Complete the quest | Quest completion triggers, rewards are granted, and One Leaf, One Life: Phase II moves forward. |
If the inventory window still appears empty after visiting Fu Wenshu, the most common fix is to talk to him again and replay his dialogue. The prescription is tied to the end of that conversation, so skipping or exiting early can leave you without the item.
Why Raw Leaf Porridge feels confusing in play
Raw Leaf Porridge is mechanically simple but framed in a way that encourages players to overthink it. The game sends you to a pharmacy, then immediately hands you a trade interface that suggests you already missed something. At the same time, the world map offers no new marker once Zhen Ping'an opens that window.
Instead of guiding you with a bright trail, the quest leans on two subtle expectations:
- You will try talking to Zhen Ping'an more than once.
- You will remember that doctors and medicine are often found near riverbank settlements such as Willowbank and the Forsaken Quarter’s waterfront.
When those expectations do not land, Raw Leaf Porridge turns into a city-wide scavenger hunt for an unnamed doctor. Knowing that the quest hinges entirely on Fu Wenshu at the river compresses it back into a short, self-contained delivery job that fits neatly into a Kaifeng exploration session.
Once cleared, you walk away with Echo Jade, coins, stored EXP, and a small but memorable story thread tying Zhen Ping'an’s grief to the broader One Leaf, One Life chain.
