Su Yu, a descendant of a royal chef, entered a novel of the immortal world. She became a second senior sister who took over a mountain full of wounded and disabled from her missing senior brother.

According to the original plot, her third junior brother’s golden core was broken. Her fourth junior brother gets into trouble. Her fifth junior brother was deceived… In short, they are dead, casualties, or injured.

Su Yu: Ah, this… our division seems to be over.

Looking at a group of skinny, weak, or disabled juniors, Su Yu, who wanted to retire: What kind of immortals are cultivating and fighting? Come and help me cook! Peace is a blessing!

However, when she researched the ingredients in this world of cultivating immortals and decided to make a pot of delicious vegetables… the spiritual energy in the wok was great and the fragrance spread, but there was a faint circle of energy, which turned into super-quality spiritual pill that could repair broken meridians lying on the bottom of the wok.

Su Yu: !

The seriously wounded and waiting to die juniors: !

Master Su didn’t believe in failure. When she was preparing to make a lotus leaf roasted rib, oil dripped and the aroma was overflowing. But at the bottom, there was a faint gleam of light accompanied a two-foot-long spirit sword, unparalleled in sword energy and a rare treasure once in a century.

Junior brother who gave up cultivation because of lack of spirit swords: !

Looking at the pots and pans full of spiritual pills and spiritual treasures piled up in her small kitchen, Su Yu frowned.

You may not believe it, but I just want to make a dish.

The heroine who s**ked her luck but went all the way to decline: ???

Because his cultivation rose too fast, the number one senior brother of Zhiqiong Peak, Xiao Muge, had to go far to the northern glacier to suppress his terrifying cultivation.

A year later, he finally avoided the Ascension Thunder Tribulation and rushed back to his sect, preparing to regain the luck for his juniors, but he almost didn’t recognize his own peak.

His third junior brother with a broken golden core had leveled up into Yuan Ying. His fourth junior, with extremely poor musical talent, had become a complete success… And his second junior sister, who is sullen, cold, and has never been out of her room, is sitting on the throne of the peak leader with her phoenix eyes narrowed. Her red lips raised when she enjoyed her junior’s respectful thanks. “Second Senior Sister is the master of our peak. She has powerful wisdom and is omnipotent. Senior Brother… Who is Senior Brother?”

Xiao Muge: ?

My thought after reading ch 7:

I'll say this first as a review because it's really pissed me off

The original female lead is a white lotus b*tch. She used mc's as her anchor luck and steal her luck and everyone around her

... more>> Hate that b*tch

There will be so many misfortune in the future because of that. How dare she (the OG FL) said that it can't be helped! This dmn bit*h justify her bad deed and thought she is a saint

Thankfully, mc's powerful dish and cooking skill may safe them

My thought after reading the last chapter

This novel is really light. It's like ascending do not disturb but more lacking in romance. The novel focus more in the relationship between MC and her fellow disciple

This is too light and the conflict almost non exist. Only some annoying villain and white lotus, and then they sre gone. But the world building is actually really good but the story is not that good. MC is too mary sue and too blessed by the author. All her problem can be solved by randomly cooking. She didn't even need to study her ingredients or look for a cooking book or something

If you have nothing to read and too much free time, then you can try to read it

4/5 <<less

It's a good novel using cooking as a unique way of approaching a cultivating novel. It's pretty much a food adventure, there aren't many high-stakes struggles or suffering like in normal cultivation novels. It's easy to read, you don't need to give much thought when reading this story. It's ridiculous yet funny at the same time.

Also, it stands out from others with its main characters and supporting cast having unconventional cultivation practices. Please note that our female protagonist is overpowered and can easily solve things. So, if you dislike it,... more>> then I am dropping this. However, I gave it three stars. I had a hard time finishing it because it got boring and repetitive. Normally, I don't mind it but it's a little exhausting.

Su Yu is a modern-day chef who is finally enjoying her retirement when she suddenly finds herself waking up in the cultivation world of a book she had been reading, as the cannon fodder foil of the female lead, suddenly left in charge of taking care of her junior brothers and sisters as her senior brother leaves to go find their peak master. Su Yu is bewildered when she discovers that when she tries to cook, she ends up making spiritual medicines, pills, and tools. Cracky premise, engrossing, low-drama read... more>> with food p*rn. This story is light-hearted, full of humor, strong characterization, and has satisfying progression. The extras nicely wrap up the story, attempting to provide an explanation for the cracky setup and add in the romance barely hinted at in the main story. Highly recommended, just treat it as crack and enjoy. <<less

very light and fun novel full of food to make you drool every page. Not a novel about serious cultivation. The MC is absurdly powerful through the use of ingredients. Don't expect set backs or pondering about life or the dao; just sit back and enjoy it for what it is.

I give it 2.5 stars. At this point, continuing this is a struggle. The comedy is still fine, but the MC is so OP without reason. She thinks and so it is. There is no believable backup to whatever she made -- there's a need for [insert need here] and she thinks of a recipe, cooks it, and voila, here you go, problem solved. This created so much plot holes, the story is leaking... ... more>>
Spoiler

initially, the elixirs and weapons/tools she refined needed to be eaten by the person, but then she created an array over some caves -- how did she do/apply the array over the caves? Did she perhaps summoned it and casted it over the caves? That was not shown/mentioned at all. The arrays were just there after she drew the sugar art.

[collapse]
There were too many scenes of recipes and dishes that did not really help move the story along. It got so repetitive, it's boring. Not sure how long I'd keep at it or if I'll soon drop the story. Or maybe I'll take it as a sort of a challenge like watching all the Twilight movies... Finish it or die trying... ^^ <<less

Absolutely adorable story. Definitely a new favorite. Fun and refreshing the whole way through, no real enemies or struggles are faced at all. The only way this could have been improved would be if the romance wasn't just crammed into the 10 extras. I appreciate the dog food I was fed in a few chapters though.

Wells if you're looking for a food novel with a side of cultivation, this is definitely for you. The story is a typical shuang wen aka Mary Sue novel where the a modern day chef MC transmigrated into a novel where she is a canon fodder and uses her cooking skills to cook up elixirs, weapons and formations. The reason why I use shuang wen is because there was little to no obstacles. The author didn't even try to put any blockage in the MC's path. She just moved her... more>> wok and everything is solved in the very next second.

The novel focuses heavily on the creative ways the MC interprets dishes to solve various cultivation problems. It's a light and fun read. The author really used such interesting ways to use food to solved those cultivation problems which was refreshing and unique. It's not plot heavy at all but there is a major plot line involving the human cultivators and demons. The original FL of the novel did play a part in the story and I liked that the the story doesn't focus on the original FL and that the MC didn't even have to interact with her to deal blows to her. The way the MC conquered the villain's subordinate was so easy it is lowkey ridiculous and the final battle with the ultimate baddie was really really underwhelming. One thing I really enjoyed was the part where the author tied everything together when the MC arrived at the immortal realm (in the extras). It was so unexpected and simply perfection! Side note, I would have loved if the author added scenes of how she made her wok and ladles etc. It would have added to the story.

In terms of romance, it was nonexistent. There were hints of the ML being moved and the MC admiring the ML's fingers (lols) and his capabilities as a kitchen worker and that's about it. We get to dive into their relationship more in the extras which was enjoyable but it wasn't the most romancey either.

Moving on the characters, the MC is a leisurely chef who is the queen of bullshiting. She doesn't have much of a personality though the author did try. Shes not the cold ruthless type, nor is she the sweet naive type. The closest typical Mary Sue personality set up she is is the money grubbing shameless protagonist/ work hard to build an empire type (like 20% only though). She's is honestly there to cook, earn money and help her junior brothers and sisters. Just a relaxed chef doing what she enjoys. The ML has not much of a personality and his presence was forgettable and a wee bit redundant. The junior brothers and sisters, wells they are the typical side characters who supports the MC all they way (after the initial dislike is cleared up). The author did attempt to give them proper backstories but it was poorly developed and felt like it was just there to add a little dimension and spice to the story as well as to link some of the plot in (and made it feel like the story was not very polish?/ haphazardly put together?).

I know the review seems a little critical and it may deter one from reading but TBH it is not a bad read. For readers who enjoy the food type books this is definitely for you. All the food described and utilized in the novel is unique in its own way. As for cultivation enthusiasts, there are proper elements that makes a good cultivation novel ie level upping, proper cultivation terms, unique cultivation methods (ie Qin cultivation, chessboard cultivation, 7 emotions cultivation), pill refining, beast companion (somewhat), competition (within sects and inter-sects) and secrect realms. For those who enjoy plots, wells even though the plot isn't the most well developed, it is there. Not the best but passable. There are some face slapping elements too and the good thing about it is that it is just the right amount, not too pervasive.

Overall, if you like slice of life food novels, you should definitely give this a try. Not for those seeking pure fluff and romance or pure cultivation novels. <<less

Binge reading this till my eyes almost burst and still feel glad.

This story is really my cup of tea, idle cultivation with a heap of comedy and amazing storyline. Not quite big on romance, tho. The romance is only in the 10 chapters epilogue and not very clear from beginning to end. Anyway, don't read this story for the romance. Read it for the sake of comedy and food. This story will keep your attention to the end.

It’s a comedic cultivation story with a focus on food. Not a story to be taken seriously and the romance is very slow, lowkey and in the background. Enjoyable to read. The MC is Mary Sue btw. With clear expectations, this story is fun and quick to read. Don’t expect a complex story.

Cute and creative story. Every so often I re-read it for fun. It is a little nonsensical for a cultivator novel, but that’s what makes it entertaining.

This is a good novel.

It never delves into the MC's past life other than establishing "she was a chef with a restaurant" to let people know whys he's good at cooking.

The novel itself is in the light form, it's cooking with humor and her cooking has unusual and suprising benefits.

While there's a story there, the novel is more about the antics of the main cast is up to and how they handle a variety of things they come across.

Very much worth a read.

Love the cookings, love how the FL is frequently 'sinning', and love her principle of "not wanting to rob the novel heroine's plot". So refreshing that the face slapping is done inadvertently, and how the FL--who knows the plot & the opportunities--just do her own thing and not robbing it for herself.

It's a leisurely read, not every story must be written with dog blood and major catastrophe, heart wrenching drama or life threatening hurdles. In short, very recommended for people who just want to have a relaxing reading experience.

Need to finish but hilarious and fulfilling!

This one made me laugh out loud several times. I just couldn’t finish/binge it because it got super repetitive (basically she cooks her way to success the same way but with different enemies/environments/backgrounds throughout the story).

Mostly feel-good, delicious story that’s heart warming and light.

It’s a very cute and unique novel. It’s less serious and more of a parody of cultivation novels. Although the MC and ML barely interacted, I liked their extras in the heaven. It also explains the origin of MC’s abilities.

Overall I recommend reading it if you like funny and wholesome stories.

3.5 stars from me.

It's a fun comedic novel that's about food, the MC at first didn't even know much about her own abilities, she only wanted to cook food, but it keeps turning into either elixirs, spiritual treasures or arrays. But she always act like it's all part of the plan 🤣

She tried to barbeque spirit beast's rib but it turned into a sword, and she was like "yes, that was my intention" 😂

So why the average score? It gets boring and repetitive. MC is mary sue, everyone likes her,... more>> even the demons who came to infiltrate ended up becoming ber subordinate, it's really boring... there's barely any real fight, she could solve everything with cooking or with her OP sword skill. Here's another thing that doesn't make sense, cooking takes time, but she somehow have enough time to cook a treasure whenever she's under attack.. it doesn't really make much sense, there's plot holes everywhere in this novel, the only thing that kept me going was the comedy, but that slowly lost its charm. Other characters in zhiqiong peak also never suspected a thing about her identity, they just accepted her as their second senior sister.

In conclusion, you can read this if you enjoy comedy and food, but do expect several plot holes (not big enough to ruin the story so don't worry), repetitive plotline (new characters tried MC's cooking and became her admirers) & her solving everything easily with her cooking. I really wanted to read till the end but it just got too exhausting to read, so I dropped it. <<less

this story is goofy and lighthearted, very low stakes. The story drags a bit towards the end, but the beginning is fun and novel. The romance only really happens in the extra chapters.

Had fun reading this one, admittedly it did fade a bit later on. The plot twist at the end was funny. As it's cooking/cultivation focused if you like the romance actually occurring and not just appearing in the extras, you'd be disappointed. ML don't even show up beyond a paragraph here and there for most of the ch, in fact had this been no romo it would've been better. It's a very light weight novel, tho the ch are not that short. The problem with it is, the things established... more>> at the begging sorta get wrecked later on, about alchemy not being a good way to up your level, and even if it does help you end up with issues, that just gets ignored at one point and stays like that. <<less

It's a comedy, perhaps even a parody of the alchemy cultivation novels. I have read enough of those (and enjoyed them) that I really enjoyed how this book pokes fun at the genre and it's many tropes. She's totally OP and everything works out. The solutions are frequently over the top. It's more fun at the beginning just because she's so confused and overwhelmed by what her cooking has become, but I enjoyed the whole thing, even after she has come to accept her near 100% first try success rate.... more>> The food sounds delicious. The translation is excellent. A great fluffy novel for when you don't want any stress from your reading. <<less

This is something you read when you just want something chill with no angst, no drama, no unnecessary misunderstanding and no villain aiming for the MC because they're so infatuated with the ML.

On that note, it barely had any romance, but I wasn't reading this for romance, I was reading this to see how the next problem will get solved using food.

My only problem was that number of side characters showing up. I stopped reading for a month, and when I resumed reading I struggled to remember who the side... more>> characters were... <<less

I'm a little bored by how repetitive it is. Problem -> MC cooks magic food -> "Wow, this food helps my cultivation soooo much!"

Some of the side characters are interesting, but I can't really get into the MC's personality (not my type). Overall, if you enjoy that type of repetition and want some quick humor / faceslapping, go for it! The worldbuilding seems decent, and I like what's going on with the ML.

I'm not sure whether I'll continue reading.
