My Five-Yuan Lunchbox Made an Immortal Emperor Weep

[Urban cultivation] + [Running a business in another world] + [Laid-back chef] + [Lighthearted wish fulfillment] + [Ordinary food becomes immortal elixirs]

My name is Shen Yan. I own a fast-food shop, and business is so bad that only Grandpa Zhang still comes in. I’m about to be thrown out by my landlord.

Then one day, a crack opens in the kitchen wall, and a ragged “ancient man” crawls through. He trades me a broken stone for a five-yuan lunch box.

I think he’s an actor from a film set. Then the next day he comes back with a bruised and swollen face, clutching a pile of sparkling “stones” and begging me to sell him another lunch box of pork with green peppers!

That’s when I realize the door leads to a world of cultivation! The ordinary lunch boxes I take for granted are the “immortal cuisine” cultivators there dream of! One serving of twice-cooked pork can help a mortal establish their foundation! A bowl of tomato beef brisket can help a Golden Core ancestor break through a bottleneck!

And so, my little hole-in-the-wall becomes a sacred place in the cultivation world.

But when Immortal Emperors and sect leaders crowd the entrance and threaten me for my secret recipes, they have no idea that before they can steal my food, they’ll have to get past the “high-voltage electric fence” and “infrared alarms” in my kitchen!

“Immortal cuisine? No, this is just my five-yuan lunch box. Want some? Get in line!”
