I Began as Nobody, Yet One Palm Can Subdue the World

Title: From the Start with Nothing but a Pot, Every Realm Is Full of Ingredients: The Rise of the Startrade Guild Synopsis: Others cultivate immortality to live forever and attain sainthood. Zhao Xingchen cultivates immortality to take his business across the entire universe and, while he’s at it... taste what those legendary divine beasts are really like. Armed with the Everlasting Spirit Spatula and commanding the Starship, he sees only two kinds of creatures in the cultivation world: customers who pay, and ingredients ready to be served. A ninth-rank Wolf Ancestor descends? Zhao Xingchen furrows his brow. “You dare sprinkle dust into my soup? Those legs look good. I’m taking them to braise!” The armies of the Beiming Dragon Palace close in? Zhao Xingchen swallows. “Thank heavens! I was just wishing my hot pot had some seafood. And this premium giant lobster has delivered itself right to my door?” He has the toughest team around: A cool, elegant housekeeper whose abacus clicks louder than sword energy; A sweet, absentminded chef who uses a boning knife to give deep-sea monsters a “painless pedicure”; And a nine-tailed empress who sobs and begs to be taken in, willing to abandon her kingdom just to score a meal. “Stop fighting! Keep this up and the meat will get tough.” “Hey, you there, the Dragon Prince, right? Could you go take a bath? The garlic vermicelli pot is ready.” This is the story of a scheming merchant and chef who, with a ship full of food lovers, completely derails the cultivation world. On the Central Continent, cultivators abstain from food and refine their qi, treating the desire for good food as a terrible scourge. That is, until Zhao Xingchen made his spectacular debut in the Star-Brand RV, built entirely from Taichi Refined Gold and equipped with a dragon-vein engine.
