A Nobody in the Cultivation World

Blurb: One unexpected mishap sends Luo Jia into the world of cultivation, and not just any cultivation world: this one is a mash-up of several. She can't help feeling exasperated. In this world, Golden Core cultivators are everywhere, and Nascent Soul cultivators are as common as dogs. The reborn, arrogant hero can suppress the ages with a single slash, while the beast-taming Mary Sue claims to be the master of all beasts. There are male and female leads, male and female supporting characters, blade cultivators, beast cultivators, alchemists, and sword cultivators. After scouring the novel's plot, Luo Jia finally confirms that she is one of the “crowd”: an obscure little food cultivator with no name or status. With no System or golden finger, she can only keep her head down and stay alive. Everyone knows that the sidekicks who get close to the male and female leads are destined to be sacrificed. It's much better to stay far away, play the part of an extra, and scavenge whatever scraps she can. The male lead enters a secret realm to seize ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, while Luo Jia makes a detour and picks a hundred-year-old spirit fungus. The female lead ventures into the forest to bond with a primordial spirit beast, while Luo Jia steers clear and catches a goose to stew in an iron pot. Whenever the male and female leads charge into battle to draw the enemy's fire, Luo Jia quietly heads for an uninhabited area, gathers some junk they wouldn't want, takes it home to make soup, and sells the leftovers on the side. But for some reason, more and more diners keep showing up out of the blue? A secret is whispered among the powerful figures of the many immortal sects in the Canglan Realm. They say that a true immortal who attained the Dao through cooking wanders the mortal world. Should you be lucky enough to meet her, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables can grant enlightenment, a single bun can break through a bottleneck, and even those suffering from qi deviation can have their inner demons banished with a sip of clear soup… When Luo Jia hears one of her diners talking about this cultivation-world rumor, she's busy miserably chopping vegetables. “What? That's got to be fake.” “Are food cultivators really that amazing?” The male and female leads watch from a distance, their eyes wide with astonishment: “The thing she just crushed with her bare hands was... a Nascent Soul-level spirit snake leaf!” “The Sect Master of Canglan Sect is washing vegetables?!” “And the one washing dishes beside him is the Supreme Elder of Six Paths Sect?” “Just who is she?” Archived on June 27, 2024 Theme: Every path is a worthy one.
