I Grew a Mountainous Realm in the World of Cultivation

Lin Wanxing transmigrates.

He becomes an ordinary mortal at the very bottom of the cultivation world, with no spiritual roots, no family wealth, and nothing but half an acre of saline-alkali land where nothing will grow and a leaky mud-brick house.

The good news is that he studied soil improvement. The bad news is that in this dog-eat-dog world, growing food may be even more dangerous than failing to grow it.

The day he goes up the mountain to look for seeds, he finds a bloodied man by a mountain stream and brings him home.

The man calls himself Mo Yuan. He's as cold as ice, and his dark golden, slit-pupil eyes are full of suspicion whenever he looks at anyone. Lin Wanxing thinks he's picked up a walking disaster, never guessing that he's found the cultivation world's greatest chef, its most fearsome fighter, and

its most tsundere, fiercely protective dragon.

Mo Yuan complains that his cooking is terrible and takes over the kitchen with a frosty expression. A bowl of wild-vegetable and mushroom soup turns out tasting like ambrosia, and Lin Wanxing eats it with tears in his eyes.

From then on, Lin Wanxing tends the fields while Mo Yuan does the cooking. The saline-alkali land becomes fertile, coarse grains become delicious meals, and life gets a little better every day.

But trouble comes knocking, too.

Thugs, cultivators, enemies… one wave after another sets its sights on Lin Wanxing's fields, Mo Yuan's cooking, and Mo Yuan himself.

Only then does Lin Wanxing learn that the “walking disaster” he brought home was once a being so powerful even heaven and earth feared him.

And now, that same being who once looked down upon all creation is standing at the stove in an apron, cooking for him.

“Just who are you?” Lin Wanxing asks.

Mo Yuan hands him a bowl of hot soup and replies calmly, “The person who cooks for you.”

Farming, cooking, raising a dragon.

From having nothing to having everything.
