Qi Xiaofu is the lowest-ranking herb garden worker in the Xuanling Sect. His main job is sneaking bites of discarded pills, and his side gig is helping catch bugs on spirit plants.
One day, he discovers a mysterious point of light inside him.
Other people eat discarded pills: they explode and die.
He eats discarded pills: crunchy, with a taste of chicken, and his cultivation goes up by one, one, one...
From then on, he sets out on a cultivation path unlike any other:
He uses an iron wok to refine pills, wields a kitchen knife as a flying sword, grasps sword intent by chopping vegetables, and opens a barbecue stall at the Cliff of Reflection... The elders are furious: "This boy must not be allowed to live!"
The sect leader only smiles knowingly: "This boy... might be just the one to revive our sect cafeteria?"
