Wen Lin, a nutritionist who died from overwork, suddenly transmigrates into a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak.
In the cultivation world, spiritual roots reign supreme, cultivation techniques are king, and pills are everything.
Can't absorb spiritual energy properly? Take a Qi-Gathering Pill!
An unstable Foundation Establishment? Drink Foundation Establishment Elixir!
Your core keeps shattering? Your Dao heart must be weak!
Your Nascent Soul is withering? You must lack talent!
You died during tribulation? Just bad luck!
Even when cultivators routinely suffer broken bones and torn muscles, chew on wall plaster and dirt, or fast until they're barely recognizable, everyone just assumes they've deviated into cultivation madness. No one has ever considered that...
there's such a thing as malnutrition.
Question: Why does the sword cultivator with sword energy bright as a rainbow keep breaking bones?
Answer: Calcium deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, vitamin K deficiency, magnesium deficiency, zinc deficiency. Pick one or several.
Question: Why does the bloodthirsty demonic cultivator eat dirt?
Answer: Pica, probably iron deficiency.
Question: Why did the newly transformed demon cultivator suddenly collapse?
Answer: Indigestion. Just stuff a few small stones into their mouth.
Several years later, the motto of the foremost sect in the cultivation world is seen everywhere:
Eat well, and you'll ascend to immortality.
[Relaxed daily life + nutrition science overwhelming the cultivation world + traditional cultivation setting + laid-back, feel-good wish-fulfillment story]
