Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio: Slaying the Yellow Immortal and Awakening the Classic of Mountains and Seas Cookbook

After transmigrating into the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Chen Yun finds the area outside Guobei County crawling with demonic winds. Traveling late at night, he is stopped by a century-old weasel spirit seeking a title. “Young man, do I look like a human or a god?” He swings his wooden club and gives it a furious beating right in the ear: “You look like a hammer to me!” The Yellow Immortal dies on the spot, and a scroll from the Classic of Mountains and Seas suddenly awakens in his mind. Cooking methods for demon flesh, techniques for refining demon cores, and the effects of eating strange beasts all appear before his eyes! A soup made from a 120-year-old weasel rejuvenates a dying old hunter overnight and heals his hidden injuries. But trouble soon follows: weasels travel in packs, and their kin will surely come for revenge. The Tree Demon Granny rules over Lanruo Temple outside the city, a thousand-year-old centipede demon lurks in the county government offices, and female ghosts come each night to seduce and claim men’s souls. Chen Yun grabs the butcher’s knife passed down through five generations and practices the Seven-Kill Blade Technique. When he cuts open the tree demon’s core and chops off the centipede demon’s feelers, the Classic of Mountains and Seas updates in real time: “Soup made from a thousand-year-old tree demon’s heart can extend your life by a century. Stir-fried centipede demon spine can grant sixty years of cultivation.” Chen Yun wipes his knife and glances back. “Where I come from in Guangnan, the only four-legged thing that doesn’t go on the table is a stool.” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
