In the fourth year of Tiansheng during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song dynasty, Su Qinghuan descends the mountain with a black-iron kitchen knife. Guided by the chivalrous principles of "loving food, loving cooking, loving cultivation, and standing up for the wronged," she vows to follow the heavenly path of cultivating both cooking and martial arts. Her blade can prepare a hundred flavors and cut down the wicked; controlling the heat is like controlling qi, knife skills merge with martial arts, and cooking itself is cultivation. While everyone else follows orthodox cultivation to ascend, she will prove the Dao through cuisine!
When she first enters the mortal world, she camps outside Sichuan Flavor House for its cabbage in clear broth. Her gift for discerning flavors earns her the legacy of a Culinary God, and she masters two signature Sichuan dishes. While protecting merchants and driving off bullies, she wields her kitchen knife to perform the Jade-Cutting, Dust-Slaying Blade Technique, breaking through to the Origin Condensation Realm in the heat of battle. From then on, she travels across the Nine Provinces in pursuit of the true flavors of the eight great culinary traditions. She comprehends the Steadfast Dao by slowly braising pork intestines in Qilu, trains her movement technique by cooking mandarin fish in Jiangnan, tempers her strength with roast suckling pig in Lingnan, and nourishes her qi meridians by tending a jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in Fujian. Amid the everyday bustle of cooking, she advances from the Qi Gathering Realm to the perfected Dao-Building Realm, reaching the pinnacle of mortal chefs.
After entering the cultivation world, she challenges orthodox prejudice as a culinary cultivator. At the market, she prepares the Profound Origin Spirit-Vegetable Soup, blending qi with flavor to clear the blockages of fellow cultivators. She wins the Immortal Chef Competition with the Eight-Treasure Immortal Banquet and is crowned "Chef God." She ventures into secret realms in search of rare delicacies and slays blood-fiend heretics, using a cooking cauldron to set formations and her kitchen knife to repel enemies. The name "Benevolent Heart, God of Food" resounds throughout the Southern Continent, and she establishes the Culinary Dao of a Hundred Flavors, passing on a method that unites cooking and martial arts.
Faced with the doubts of Immortal Venerables, she travels through the Three Realms in search of innate spiritual ingredients, refining sword intent with her knife skills and tempering spiritual energy with her control of the heat as she perfects an Ascension Banquet of a Hundred Flavors. When she cooks, rosy light reflects the Dao's patterns; when she fights, her kitchen knife slays evil spirits. At last, she merges the Culinary Dao with the Martial Dao, breaks through into the Profound Ultimate Realm, and is deified as the "God of Food of a Hundred Flavors." After ascending to the immortal domain, she opens an Immortal Kitchen of a Hundred Flavors. "I'd rather lose half a cultivation stage than compromise on a single delicious bite" becomes a principle known throughout the Three Realms. With her peerless mastery of both culinary and martial arts, this legendary chef makes a dazzling mark on the path from the mortal world to immortality.
The writing is really good, not boring at all, just straight to the point. The plot description is very good, meticulous and full of ups and downs. It is worth pursuing. I hope the author will write more chapters every day. It is not enough!
