"Is there any way? Is there any way?"

Fang Zheng frantically flipped through his Creative Mode inventory. "Healing, healing..." "Golden Apple, Healing Potion, yes, those two!"

He hastily tossed the Golden Apple and Healing Potion into his inventory, then ran to the black phantom, holding them out and shoving them towards the phantom's face, trying to feed him directly like an animal. "Eat up! Come on! Why aren't you eating?"

Realizing he couldn't feed it directly, Fang Zheng immediately dropped them from his inventory in front of the phantom.

A pile of floating Golden Apple pixels and Healing Potions dangled before the phantom. "Hurry up and pick them up and eat them! Eating these should heal you, eat up!"

Fang Zheng was dying of anxiety, flying around nearby, but the guy still didn't move an inch.

But after 5 minutes, the Golden Apples and Healing Potions floating on the ground had automatically refreshed and disappeared, and the damned phantom still hadn't moved, not even its eyes.

It had even stopped muttering whatever it was saying.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng was both anxious and angry.

Once, when Fang Zheng was in junior high and coming home from school, he saw a few old men from the village chatting and laughing as they carried bags of stinky stuff, buckets, and fishing rods to go fishing in the evening.

The next morning, when Fang Zheng woke up for school, he saw the old men returning, covered in dirt and looking gloomy.

He even heard them grumbling, "The worms won't eat, the bloodworms won't eat, the distiller's grains won't eat, the bait king won't eat. Damn things, won't eat anything, you deserve to starve!"

"Next time, we'll just drain the water and use nets..."

At the time, Fang Zheng couldn't understand why the old men were so angry.

But now, looking at the phantom, Fang Zheng finally felt a sense of empathy for those anglers.

Anxiously, Fang Zheng threw another ten stacks of Golden Apples, but as he watched them pass straight through the phantom and land at its feet, Fang Zheng paused.

"Could it be that even though I can obtain materials from this world using iron buckets, increasing the variety of items in my inventory, the creatures in this world can't pick up MC blocks?"

"Forget it, whether you can pick them up and eat them or not, I'll just smash them!" With that, Fang Zheng quickly found Splash Healing Potions in his inventory and put them in his hotbar.

In MC, through the brewing stand, various potions could be brewed using different materials.

Among them, potions were divided into three types: drinkable, splash, and lingering.

Besides the drinkable ones, both splash and lingering potions could be thrown directly.

One provided instant healing, the other sustained healing.

Splash Healing Potions could be used by throwing them. The potion would shatter upon contact with the ground or a creature, producing a healing effect on creatures within the area, restoring 4 health points.

However, this was limited to restoring health; for Undead Creatures, it would cause corresponding damage.

But looking at the dim-eyed black phantom, Fang Zheng paused again, contemplating. "Does this count as an Undead Creature?"

"Let's try it first. If the Healing Potion doesn't work, I'll switch to a Splash Potion of Instant Damage, which heals Undead Creatures."

In MC, Healing Potions damage Undead Creatures, while Splash Potions of Instant Damage, which damage normal creatures, actually heal Undead Creatures.

Muttering to himself, Fang Zheng took out a potion bottle and hurled it.

The splash potion was contained in a slightly crooked-mouthed glass bottle filled with red liquid.

With a crack, the bottle shattered on the ground where the black phantom stood, and red swirling smoke appeared, as did red swirling smoke above the phantom's head.

"Uh, I didn't see any red damage-dealing effects, so this should be successful, right?"

"Let's throw a few more."

Bang, bang, bang, a continuous stream of sounds echoed as Splash Healing Potions were thrown one after another.

After a while, Fang Zheng stopped.

He approached the black phantom and observed it closely, trying to see if its body had become any more condensed, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any difference.

Fang Zheng pondered. "Speaking of which, judging by the attack power of the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger before, if these Cultivators can instantly deplete the durability of MC blocks with their destructive power, then even if Healing Potions are useful for them, the effect probably won't be that great, right?"

"After all, even the strongest monster in MC, the Ender Dragon, only has 200 health, and the Wither has 300 health."

"These Cultivators..." Recalling the ridiculously large size of the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird, Fang Zheng fell silent for a moment.

"Even if the rules of two different worlds interact, allowing them to be healed, if they have health points, wouldn't it be in the hundreds of billions, trillions, or even higher?"

"If that's the case, the blood restored by a health potion would be too little. It would take me forever to fill them up with health potions, I'd go crazy!"

"Is this even working at all?"

Just as Fang Zheng was wondering, he saw the black phantom's eyes glance at him again. "Uh... it's probably working."

"But doing it manually is too troublesome, I need to automate it."

If I keep throwing them like this, how long will it take? It's better to set up some automated dispensers.

So, Fang Zheng opened his inventory and found Dispensers, Redstone Comparators, Redstone Repeaters, and Redstone Dust, and built a Redstone Pulse Circuit nearby.

This Redstone Pulse Circuit, connected to a Dispenser, would continuously launch whatever was stored in the Dispenser.

Then, he placed a Hopper on the Dispenser, and a Shulker Box on top of the Hopper, filled with throwable Healing Potions.

This way, a simple automatic throwing device, which even a novice player could easily build, was completed.

"Uh, if my assumption is correct and the Cultivators in the Cultivation World have health in the hundreds of millions, it's better to add more."

The long-lost building work began again. Fang Zheng placed Dispensers in all the surrounding spaces around the black phantom as much as possible, connected them with Redstone Pulse Circuits, and then used Shulker Boxes filled with Healing Potions, connected by Hoppers and Dispensers.

Fang Zheng glanced at the sky again. "Speaking of which, as long as the post-launch distance is calculated correctly, the sky can also be utilized."

He couldn't wait to start building, spending several days constructing a towering, hollow, tower-like structure using dispensers.

Each dispenser continuously launched the Healing Potions Fang Zheng provided. The falling Healing Potions formed a red stream within the fixed central channel, like a flow of blood.

Meanwhile, at the very bottom, unnoticed by Fang Zheng as he busied himself constructing the fully automated Healing Potion launching tower.

Accompanied by a constant, unceasing red spiral of smoke, the phantom formed from intertwined black and blood-colored mist, with dim, crescent-like eyes, began to faintly glow.

The phantom, born from the Lingering Regret of those powerful beings who once attacked the Immortal Ascension Road, combined with the lingering regrets of Deities from the shattered fragments of their Weapons of Proving the Dao, was slowly but surely growing stronger.
