Don't Dismiss a Food Spirit Root

[Main story complete]

[Blurb One]

Qin Xian transmigrates into a book as the senior sister of the Yunshan Sect whose spiritual root has been destroyed.

The original owner's spiritual root was destroyed, and she became an outcast from her sect. In the end, she went to a secluded place and took her own life.

Qin Xian: Better to live badly than die well.

Even without a spiritual root, I have to keep living.

Before transmigrating into the book, she was a food blogger. Now she's going back to her old line of work, picking up a spatula and making a living.

Wild fruit can be made into jam, fermented into fruit wine, or used to pickle meat...

Poultry raised on spiritual energy tastes delicious whether it's stewed or braised.

More and more customers come to Qin Xian's private kitchen.

Some pay with money, others trade goods for food.

It's just that some of the customers...

Qin Xian: Hey, your tail is showing...

[Blurb Two]

The fox demon clan has always looked down on human food.

They hunt and eat raw meat, or pick wild fruit from trees.

The most basic ingredients, prepared in the most basic ways.

Until one day, a little demon brought half a lotus-leaf chicken back to the fox den.

The tender, juicy chicken and the fragrant lotus leaf immediately attracted every little fox in the den.

Little demon: “There's a human who's amazing at cooking. Her food smells so good, and after I ate it, I had an epiphany and advanced a level...”

The name of Qin Xian's private kitchen spread through the demon world, one person telling ten, then ten telling a hundred. After their cultivation sessions, the little demons of the clan would head straight to her restaurant.

When Ling Yue, the Fox Demon Venerable, emerged from seclusion, he meant to see how the new generation of foxes was progressing in their cultivation. Instead, he ran into a group of little demons who had transformed into human form and were rushing straight to the private kitchen of a human woman.

Before visiting Qin Xian's private kitchen: Let me see what kind of demon is behind this despicable scheme, luring my clan's young foxes into debauchery.

After visiting Qin Xian's private kitchen: We should eat our fill before meditating and cultivating. Otherwise, where are we supposed to find the time to practice?

[Blurb Three]

Business at Qin Xian's private kitchen keeps getting better, and she unexpectedly discovers that new shoots are slowly sprouting from her withered spiritual platform.

Every time she develops a new dish, the little shoot grows a bit.

Unlike the other five-element spiritual roots, the better she eats, the better it grows, and the more powerful Qin Xian becomes.

Qin Xian: Is this what they call... a food spiritual root?!

Later, the people of the Yunshan Sect suddenly discover that Qin Xian, once considered an outcast, has not only grown a new spiritual root, but has also reached a level of power that rivals the Heaven-Breaking Realm.

Everyone in the Yunshan Sect regrets what happened and begs to make peace.

Qin Xian: I once risked my life for the Yunshan Sect, only to be cast aside by my own sect. Now you want me to return? That depends on what my spatula has to say.

Here's a little plug for my upcoming novel, After Playing with and Abandoning the Cold Immortal Venerable. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list. Mwah!

[Blurb One]

Wei Jing transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the sickly young lady of a prominent family.

The original owner came from a cultivation clan, but had a weak constitution and took medicine year-round. She lived in seclusion at the Ye family's estate and was a famously good-for-nothing young lady.

In the book, the original owner is spoiled, willful, and eccentric. She repeatedly makes life difficult for and punishes the male lead, to whom she's engaged, making her a thoroughly despicable villain who serves as a foil to the sunny heroine.

When Wei Jing first transmigrates, the original owner has already made an enemy of the male lead. Next, he'll take revenge by plotting her “sudden death” at the Wei family's estate.

Wei Jing: !!!

I don't want to die all over again!!!

But the original owner's body really is weak. Even though Wei Jing knows what's coming, she can't run away.

She's already swallowed the medicine without even realizing it.

Next, she'll have a “beautiful dream” and then die horribly.

But she never expected this “beautiful dream” to involve a night of passion with a coldly handsome man in the mirror.

Since she's going to die anyway, everything she sees is just a dream.

So she may as well let herself go.

Wei Jing puts everything she learned from a certain novel website to use in her dream, spending a wonderful night with the coldly handsome man.

If she's going to die beneath a peony, at least she'll die a ghost who had her fun!

But she actually wakes up...

She actually doesn't die suddenly like she does in the original story?

Not only does she escape a sudden death,

she even feels her frail body gradually getting better.

The next few times, she meets him again in her “dreams.”

Of course, Wei Jing doesn't let the opportunity pass. She clings to him for another night and confirms her suspicion: the coldly handsome man in the mirror is incredibly nourishing.

After that, Wei Jing spends every night with him until her body has completely recovered.

She leaves the estate and joins the male and female leads in becoming a disciple of the Qingyuan Sect.

That's when she suddenly realizes: the man she often meets at night is the coldly aloof master whom the male and female leads regard as an unreachable paragon?

[Blurb Two]

Yun Quji is tricked by a villain and trapped inside the formation of a secret realm, with no way out.

While meditating in seclusion and trying to break through the formation, something goes wrong.

His soul forms a connection with a woman through a mirror.

The woman is shameless and downright depraved.

But she's the key to breaking the formation, so he swears that what happens between them is nothing but an act.

Everything he does is for the sake of breaking the formation. He has no other intentions.

But before three months have passed...

The woman vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only this message: “I'm going out to meet more handsome men. I won't be devoted to just one flower anymore.”

Yun Quji, who has been heaven's favored child since birth, with countless people looking up to him: ?

Did she just seduce him and then abandon him?

He swears he'll find that hateful woman.

Until...

When the Qingyuan Sect opens its doors to recruit a new generation of disciples, a certain hateful woman blends in among a group of newcomers and tries to hide herself.

Yun Quji: Hah. A wicked woman like that is rotten to the core, no matter how well she tries to hide!

[Blurb Three]

Ah, so I've been found.

Wei Jing: Hehe.

She takes the initiative and asks, “Shall we cultivate together, Immortal Venerable?”

Yun Quji: Not hehe.

Yun Quji: Let's see, how many men more handsome than me have you met since you left me?

Theme: No matter what, keep living bravely
