    [Humorous and Healing + Food + Farming + Modern Micro-Cultivation] Having obtained a cultivation inheritance, her innate skills in cooking and gardening make her the leader of a sect, though poverty is the norm... She starts with a dilapidated building, a wasteland, and half a mountain forest. A sect leader with no ambition, and four idle disciples. Gathering wild mushrooms covering the mountains, harvesting sweet and delicious honey, picking fresh and crisp wild vegetables, gathering sweet and soft chestnuts, planting the freshest and most vibrant vegetables, and making traditional seasonal delicacies—this is an unconventional record of modern cultivation life! Special Notes: 1. There is a romantic pairing, but the romance is minimal (the pairing is not due to a preference for Yun Tingyi). 2. Set in the Dharma-ending Age, this is an atypical cultivation story; the female protagonist cultivates through farming and cooking, with the first 100 chapters focusing on food. 3. All locations and specialties mentioned in this story are fictional (Phoenix is ​​just an unnamed town, not the real Phoenix Ancient City).
