The Age of Spirit Beasts: The Queen of Ingredients Is the Only Beast Tamer

Su Lingyu, the greatest sword immortal in the cultivation world, slays the Demon Lord and opens the path to ascension. After her merits are complete, she returns to Earth. She expects to enjoy a peaceful retirement tending a farm, only to discover that she has been in a vegetative state for three years. To pay for her treatment, her family sold their home, their shop, and even the food spirit her mother couldn't bear to part with. Her father has gone from a fair-skinned young man to a weathered truck driver, while her mother has gone from Huai City's first spirit chef to a haggard woman making do with overnight stays in a little shop. The spiritual qi revival has begun, but it seems to have taken a strange turn: all the spiritual qi has gone into food ingredients, and cooking can sometimes give birth to food spirits. A low-level food spirit is worth half a million, while a spirit-grade one can make someone rich overnight. Su Lingyu looks at the God-Tier Beast Taming System bound to her, then at the utterly ordinary tomato plant in her grandfather's vegetable patch. She crouches down and reaches out to touch it. [Contract established] An ordinary tomato becomes a spirit plant. An ordinary egg becomes a spirit egg. An ordinary tomato and egg stir-fry gives birth to a top-grade food spirit with a spiritual qi concentration of 8.1%. The whole county is stunned, then the whole city, then the whole country. A certain Michelin-starred chef gets down on his knees and begs to work with her. “Miss Su, could you supply your tomatoes exclusively to me?” Su Lingyu smiles and shakes her head. “Sorry. Get in line.” While everyone else is still fighting tooth and nail over a single low-level food spirit, Su Lingyu has already built the nation's largest spirit plant farm and food spirit breeding center. A reporter asks her the secret to her success. Su Lingyu thinks for a moment, then answers earnestly, “Maybe it's because I'm really good at farming.”
