A cleaver in his left hand and a rusty sword in his right, from kitchen helper to supreme martial artist: this is a story that’ll make your mouth water!
In this martial world, while others practice swordplay, I man the stove; while others fight for supremacy, I simmer soup.
Lin Xiaohuo was just a restaurant kitchen hand, spending his days among firewood, rice, oil, and salt. But a rusty iron sword led him into a completely different martial world. He discovered a unique cultivation technique, the “Hundred Flavors Crucible Art,” using his body as a cauldron and love and hatred as ingredients. Somehow, he can cook up his opponents’ power and make it his own.
The rusty sword has no edge, yet conceals a mystery. Cooking may seem mundane, yet it follows the Way of Heaven. From a mocked “cook” to the fearsome “Sword-Brewing Wanderer,” he blazes his own trail and creates a culinary martial art: his Butcher’s Blade technique can break countless moves, his Taiji Ladle skill can deflect immense force, and a bowl of boiled cabbage hides the supreme intent of the sword.
Along this unique martial path, he has a discerning beauty at his side, a bold swordsman for a companion, and scheming masters standing in his way. When both orthodox and unorthodox factions brand him a heretic, and the woman he loves is placed in danger because of him, Lin Xiaohuo grips his rusty sword and sets the cauldron over the fire, laughing at the heroes of the realm:
“Everyone, how well would you like to be cooked?”
See how a mere kitchen hand uses a rusty sword as his ladle, the martial world as his pot, and love, hate, and grudges as ingredients to brew his own martial legend!
