They do fit. There is quite a bit of space left. Around 1.5 cubic meters.

Finished with her harvest, our protagonist decides to take a look at the compiled harvest.

She had tasked the System with scanning every flower she picked up and compiling a list.

*Harvest Report*

Fire Element flowers - 67

| These Flowers release pure fire energy mixed with small amounts of Sun QI

Water Element flowers - 43

| These Flowers release pure water energy

Earth Element Flowers - 32

| These Flowers release pure earth energy

Metal Element Flowers - 15 (-1)

| These Flowers release pure metal energy

Lightning Element Flowers - 12

| These Flowers release pure lightning energy

*Soil Quality is [High Grade]*

One can be satisfied with such a harvest. During the whole activity, she had more than enough time to contemplate the use of these flowers.

The first one would be for training her elemental control. Training your lightning spells in an environment filled with lightning would be much more efficient.

The earth flowers could be used for spell training and the tempering of her body. She's still at a stage where the earth element is the most useful.

The use of the lightning or fire element in the tempering of her body is still far in the future.

The metal flowers are a bit obscure. In theory, she should be able to infuse the energy into weapons to strengthen them, but without first trying it she would not know how effective this would be.

And she would not want to do so with a good weapon in fear of destroying it.

Using it one an inferior weapon would be like throwing pearls to the pigs.

Thankfully she will not have to decide now. She still has time. Finished with the harvesting and controlling she moves over to where Idan is currently relaxing. Lying on his back on having his belly warmed by the sun he certainly has it easy. On his right site, leftover scraps from the Eternal Tree's fruits are strewn across the ground.

Hearing footsteps near him, he sits up and watches his companion come close. Her hands are dirty and specks of soil cling to her skin. She is once again nude. Somehow she does not wish to dirty that dress. Idan personally thinks that she has a fable for green.

On their first meeting, he noticed how intoxicated she was when she saw the beautiful stretch of emerald green grass.

Dismissing these thoughts he addressed her with their current situation,

"What do you wanna do now? we still have some time before we should go hunting. There will be many beasts on the move right now. Waiting for one or two hours would be a wise choice. And before hunting, we have to remove the stench of sweat and dirt from you."

"I know," patting her hands against each other she's trying to get the dirt off them," I agree with the hunting part. Before doing so I have to relax and rest a bit. I think you can train your body a bit. You have yet to achieve Stage 5 so take these and train. The Earth Element should work for you."

Taking 2 Earth Element flowers from her storage she hands them to Idan. Idan grabs them with his mouth and infuses energy into their stem. What she had found out during her harvest was that infusing energy into the stem slows the release speed.

The energy will stay within a small radius due to its low concentration and it will be easier for it all to be absorbed.

Despite having a lot of them they don't want to be wasteful. Every small bit can be used and should be used.

Lying down with the flowers in his mouth, Idan slowly begins to gather the energy in his core and circulate it into his bloodstream.

As he expected. The effects of the flowers are insane. While they don't cause an immediate breakthrough they are much more valuable. The pure energy is very beneficial to his veins and cells.

Normal energy is mixed with other elements and impurities and small particles of those elements and impurities will stay behind in his blood and his veins. They will slowly clog those pathways and a regular cleaning is necessary. Those are expensive for humans and almost impossible to gain for beasts.

Humans have developed methods and they pay for them. Beasts on the other side have to rely on natural treasures. These fruits, seeds or in this case flowers with pure energy are much more efficient because the pure energy is for one stronger and secondly they remove impurities.

Imagine special acid dissolving rust on metal.

Over the course of over an hour, Idan fully utilized the energy of one flower. The other one still has 90% of its energy. If one would be able to get an internal view of Idans body he would be able to see that his blood is much cleaner, a pure red color. His veins widened by a small bit allowing more blood to flow at the same time. His skin is slightly sturdier and his fur is glistening, looking as if it was cleaned.

Slowly stretching his body Idan notices that his strength rose. Removing those impurities allowed him to gain the strength of a Stage 2 Human. His agility remains mostly the same. Due to him focusing on this aspect the impurities were much less and cleaning them had only a small impact on his overall capability.

turning his head he looks over to his companion. She is currently lying on her side resting her head on her hands, trusting for Idan to keep an eye out for enemies. Which he did.

Moving over he pats her cheek, waking her up and telling her that they should move.

Standing up and stretching her body she was thinking about their next step. They would walk over to the river and clean themselves. Then they would have to equip themselves. She was unsure about whether or not she should use some of the clothes she got from the skeletons. Some of them were still usable, albeit being torn at some places.

Deciding to first wash themselves she signals Idan to jump up on her shoulder. Once he sits properly she begins to jog over to the river.

Upon their arrival, both jump down and proceed to wash their bodies.

But not before checking the surroundings.

After carefully washing their bodies both sit down and circulate their energy on their skin, fastening the natural drying speed.

Finished with their quick wash our protagonist decides to first take a look at the clothes she packed.

Taking out the clothes, stored in her ring, she spreads them on the ground in front.

The clothes consist of an old worn-out shirt. The shirt is grey-brown, a good fit for the cave. The size is too big but by cutting it at some places it should fit.

There are two pairs of pants still useable. One brown pair of leather pants and some fancy pants with gold interlaced. The laced pants are still in good condition since they were stored inside the ring.

But no one would want to wear something like that on a hunt.

Once again storing the pants, she put the leather pants on top of the shirt.

What she'd like to find are gloves and shoes.

Sadly there don't seem to be any gloves in the ring or part of the dug up loot.

She did find four pairs of shoes. Well, three and a half since one of the shoes is completely torn apart.

Throwing that pair back into the ring she carefully looked at the three pairs she still has.

One pair is way to big so it lands back in the ring.

The other pair may be too big but it is made of sturdy leather and she'd love to use that. Sadly it just doesn't fit. Putting that one away she is left with some normal boots. No defense against sharp objects and still slightly too big.

Deciding to not wear shoes she puts them away. Now she still has to check the shirt and pants. Will they even be useful? She would wear her dress outside. It covers a good amount of her body and does not constrict her movement that much.

Deciding to just cut up the shirt and pants she does exactly that and is left with a weird attempt at clothing.

Putting the clothes on she instantly notices that she can only hope for an enemy to entangle his weapon or claws in the clothes. And that is a desperate hope!

(At least it has some camouflage...)
