To complete Raw Leaf Porridge in Where Winds Meet, speak with Zhen Ping’an at the eastern end of South Gate Avenue in Kaifeng City, then travel to the riverside around Willow Bank and talk to Fu Wenshu. Fu Wenshu gives you the Prescription. Return to Zhen Ping’an on South Gate Avenue and hand it over to finish the Wandering Tale. The quest is part of Phase 2 of the One Leaf, One Life questline, so you must first meet the Phase I progression requirement.
What is the Raw Leaf Porridge quest in Where Winds Meet?
Raw Leaf Porridge is a short Wandering Tale in Phase 2 of the One Leaf, One Life questline. Its objective is straightforward: obtain a Prescription for medicinal porridge and deliver it to the person who requested it. The quest is primarily a navigation and dialogue task; the important challenge is identifying the correct starting NPC and then locating the doctor beside the river.
Guides identify Zhen Ping’an as the quest giver and Fu Wenshu as the NPC holding the Prescription. Both NPCs are in Kaifeng City, but they are not in the same neighborhood. Zhen Ping’an is on South Gate Avenue, while Fu Wenshu is by the river in the Willow Bank area. Once you have spoken to Fu Wenshu, the final objective is simply a return trip to Zhen Ping’an.
How do I unlock Raw Leaf Porridge?
The cited unlock condition is progression through the earlier phase of One Leaf, One Life. Game8 lists “Lights Flicker in Every Home” as the requirement and notes that Phase I, “Strife in Every Corner,” must be completed before the Phase 2 tale becomes available.
Complete the required Phase I progression
Before searching for the Prescription, confirm that you have finished the Phase I content associated with One Leaf, One Life. If “Lights Flicker in Every Home” or the Phase I story has not been completed on your character, Raw Leaf Porridge may not appear when you reach South Gate Avenue. The guides do not describe a separate item, level threshold, or purchase requirement for unlocking it.
Check the correct city and questline
The tale starts in Kaifeng City, not at Willow Bank. Willow Bank is the destination for the second conversation, so traveling there before accepting the tale can leave you without an objective or a reason to speak with Fu Wenshu. Start by checking the One Leaf, One Life progression and then return to South Gate Avenue.
Where is Zhen Ping’an and how do I start the tale?
Zhen Ping’an stands at the eastern end of South Gate Avenue, near the Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone. Speak with him to begin Raw Leaf Porridge. His request directs you to obtain a Prescription for the medicinal porridge, which sets the next objective.
Use the Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone as your landmark
The Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone is the most useful landmark for finding the starting area. Approach the eastern end of South Gate Avenue and look for Zhen Ping’an in that vicinity. The location description comes from the walkthrough information rather than a published map coordinate, so use the street and Boundary Stone together instead of relying on a single pin.
Confirm that the conversation advanced the objective
After speaking with Zhen Ping’an, make sure the tale has progressed to the request for a Prescription. If the dialogue does not start the quest, the most likely explanation supported by the guides is incomplete Phase I progression. Recheck “Lights Flicker in Every Home” and “Strife in Every Corner” before searching for Fu Wenshu.
Where is Fu Wenshu and the Prescription?
Fu Wenshu is beside the river in the Willow Bank area. This riverside location is the consistent clue across the available walkthroughs. One guide gives a more specific approach: travel to the Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone and search northwest along the river. Treat that direction as a practical route suggestion, not as a guaranteed map coordinate, because the guides use different local labels and levels of detail.
Travel from Kaifeng toward Willow Bank
- Leave Zhen Ping’an at South Gate Avenue after accepting the tale.
- Navigate toward the Willow Bank area and look for the river rather than searching the entire district for an indoor doctor location.
- If you use Boundary Stones for fast travel, the Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone is the suggested arrival point from one walkthrough.
- From that Boundary Stone, check the riverbank to the northwest. Continue following the riverside if Fu Wenshu is not immediately visible.
The wording “near Willow Bank” is more dependable than an exact compass angle. Willow Bank and the river are the shared location cues, while the Forsaken Quarter route is a helpful way to narrow the search. Fu Wenshu is described as standing by the riverside, so check the bank itself rather than only the nearby streets or buildings.
Recognize the correct NPC
The Prescription comes from Fu Wenshu, identified in the guides as a doctor. Speak with him when you find him by the river. You do not need to locate a separate chest, merchant, crafting station, or physical prescription object according to the walkthroughs; the item is obtained through this NPC conversation.
How do I finish Raw Leaf Porridge?
Once Fu Wenshu gives you the Prescription, return to South Gate Avenue in Kaifeng City. Find Zhen Ping’an near the eastern end of the avenue and speak with him again. Choose the dialogue that hands over the Prescription; that return conversation completes the tale.
Verify the handover
The quest is not finished merely by talking to Fu Wenshu. The required final action is delivering the Prescription to Zhen Ping’an. If the tale remains active after visiting Willow Bank, retrace the route to South Gate Avenue and check Zhen Ping’an near the Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone.
What the completion step does not require
The supplied walkthroughs describe no additional ingredient collection, combat encounter, purchase, or crafting step after receiving the Prescription. Keep the task focused on the two NPC conversations: Fu Wenshu for the item, then Zhen Ping’an for the handover.
What should I check if the quest or NPC is missing?
Most problems with this tale are caused by progression or location confusion. Use the checks below in order so you do not search the wrong district or assume that the Prescription is a world pickup.
Raw Leaf Porridge does not appear at South Gate Avenue
- Confirm that you are in Kaifeng City and at the eastern end of South Gate Avenue.
- Check whether “Lights Flicker in Every Home” has been completed.
- Verify that Phase I, “Strife in Every Corner,” is complete; the tale is listed as a Phase 2 Wandering Tale.
- Return to Zhen Ping’an after meeting those progression conditions and speak with him again.
The available guides do not establish a different unlock item or an alternate quest giver, so changing districts or searching for another starting NPC is unlikely to solve an unlock problem.
Fu Wenshu is not visible
- Make sure you accepted the request from Zhen Ping’an first.
- Search the riverbank around Willow Bank, where all location descriptions place the doctor.
- If you arrived through a Boundary Stone, try the Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone and inspect the river to the northwest.
- Use the riverside as the primary clue if the northwest approach does not immediately reveal him; the exact local labels differ between walkthroughs.
These checks address the location uncertainty reported by the guides without assuming a precise coordinate that has not been independently established.
The quest remains active after receiving the Prescription
Receiving the item is only the middle objective. Return to South Gate Avenue and speak with Zhen Ping’an near the Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone. The handover dialogue is the completion trigger described by the walkthroughs.
What rewards does Raw Leaf Porridge give?
Game8 lists the following rewards for completing the tale. A separate walkthrough reports the same quantities, although it calls the experience reward “Stored EXP” rather than “Character EXP.”
| Reward | Amount | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Echo Jade | 30 | Listed by Game8 for the completed quest |
| Kaifeng Exploration | 10 | Listed as Kaifeng Exploration Points in another guide |
| Character EXP | 2,500 | Game8’s terminology; another guide uses Stored EXP |
| Coins | 2,500 | Reported by both walkthroughs |
Game8’s reward list was updated April 8, 2026. The matching report from another guide supports the quantities but uses slightly different experience terminology. The reward figures are tied to the quest completion and should not be read as a general Kaifeng activity payout.
What is the shortest reliable route?
For a quick run, follow the quest in this order: unlock Phase 2 of One Leaf, One Life, speak with Zhen Ping’an on South Gate Avenue, travel to the river around Willow Bank, talk to Fu Wenshu, then return to Zhen Ping’an. If you prefer Boundary Stone travel, the Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone is the suggested starting point for the northwest riverside search.
Do not reverse the order by looking for Fu Wenshu first. The guides frame the Prescription as the result of Fu Wenshu’s quest conversation, and the tale begins only after Zhen Ping’an makes the request. Likewise, do not stop after the doctor conversation: the final return to South Gate Avenue is what closes the objective.
Which location clue should I trust when guides differ?
Use the shared detail—Fu Wenshu is beside the river near Willow Bank—as the stable answer. The Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone and northwest direction are useful navigation advice from one walkthrough, but they are not presented as an independently corroborated coordinate. Local labels vary between guides, so a player who follows the river around Willow Bank is using the more broadly supported clue.
The starting location is less ambiguous: Zhen Ping’an is at the eastern end of South Gate Avenue near the Hopewell Academy Boundary Stone. Keeping those two landmark descriptions separate prevents a common mistake in which the player searches Willow Bank for the quest giver or South Gate Avenue for the doctor.
Does the Prescription come from an item pickup?
No separate world pickup is described. The Prescription is obtained by speaking with Fu Wenshu, the doctor by the Willow Bank riverbank, after Zhen Ping’an has started the tale.
Can I complete Raw Leaf Porridge before finishing Phase I?
The cited unlock information says no. Raw Leaf Porridge is a Phase 2 Wandering Tale, and the listed prerequisite is completion of Phase I, including “Strife in Every Corner,” with “Lights Flicker in Every Home” named as the unlock requirement.
Do I need to buy ingredients or fight an enemy for this quest?
The available walkthroughs describe only NPC dialogue and a handover. They do not report a purchase, ingredient-gathering, or combat objective; the required item is supplied through Fu Wenshu’s conversation.
Why does the guide mention both Willow Bank and the Forsaken Quarter?
Willow Bank describes the riverside area where Fu Wenshu is found. The Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone is a suggested travel landmark, with the river northwest of it serving as the search direction. They are route clues for the same destination, not two separate Prescription locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Raw Leaf Porridge part of a larger quest chain?
Yes. It is identified as a Phase 2 Wandering Tale within the One Leaf, One Life questline. The Phase I progression, including the listed “Lights Flicker in Every Home” requirement, determines whether the tale can be started.
What if I delivered the Prescription but received no reward?
Check that you completed the return conversation with Zhen Ping’an rather than only speaking with Fu Wenshu. The reward list is associated with completing the handover at South Gate Avenue, not merely obtaining the item.
Is Fu Wenshu inside a building at Willow Bank?
The walkthrough descriptions place him by the river, so begin on the riverside rather than inside a shop or academy. Search around Willow Bank and use the Forsaken Quarter Boundary Stone northwest route if you need a narrower approach.
Are the experience rewards called Character EXP or Stored EXP?
Both terms appear in the walkthrough coverage. Game8 labels the reward 2,500 Character EXP, while another guide uses Stored EXP for the same reported amount.
