Others cultivate immortality by meditating. I do it with an iron wok.
Others attain enlightenment through arduous practice. I do it by tossing and stir-frying.
Su Ling'er, the biggest slacker in the cultivation world, skips class to rile up her master. Her life motto is, "Studying is worse than sleeping, and cultivation is worse than eating."
Until her parents finally give up after her outstanding achievement of "slacking her way to success," leave her an old copy of The Classic of Mountain and Sea Cuisine and a restaurant on the verge of closing, then head off on a carefree journey.
Forced to inherit the family business, Ling'er plans to keep lying flat, but then she discovers...
The brown sugar and sesame paste she casually makes gives the landlord "Divine Listening Ears," letting him hear all the gossip in the city for three days straight;
Her botched attempt at making Nine-Turn Large Intestines makes a down-and-out sword cultivator reach enlightenment on the spot. His sword energy turns the mountain of their shop into a mountain of toothpicks;
She cooks Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in a pressure cooker and blows up the alchemy room at the neighboring Taoist temple. The cold and aloof senior brother comes knocking with a sword in hand...
With the shop on the verge of closing, Ling'er stares at the dark cuisine in her pot and falls into deep thought:
This cultivation business... actually smells kind of good? From then on, everything changes.
Mapo tofu subdues an ancient ferocious beast, Dongpo pork quells an uprising in the underworld, and the broth from river-snail rice noodles becomes a replacement for Granny Meng's soup...
When cultivators from all three realms line up outside her shop for a bite, and the King of Hell personally comes to ask her to open a branch in the underworld...
Ling'er grips her spatula and falls into deep thought:
So lying flat really is the strongest way to cultivate immortality.
