    Warning: This is a modern story, primarily about food, with cultivation as a secondary element. It includes a mushroom-collecting scene, and while the romance is minimal, I find it quite reasonable. The story is complete, and the author may update with side stories periodically. The plot is lighthearted and humorous; the first half focuses on food, the middle touches on cultivation, and the second half involves fighting villains? The above is just my personal opinion; you can read the story for more details. (P. S.: The food in this story is truly mouthwatering 🤤, so I advise against reading it when you're hungry or on a diet.)
