Jiuxuan Sword Song

Orphaned at five and brought to the prestigious Qingyun Immortal Sect at eight, Lin Fan’s spirit monument test reveals the lowest possible aptitude: a Quad-Spiritual Constitution. Labeled a mere menial servant by the sect, Lin Fan accepts his lowly status until he stumbles upon a tattered copy of "Basic Medicinal Diet Insights" hidden among scrap paper in the cafeteria warehouse. What begins as secret experimentation with culinary alchemy soon yields astonishing results. By combining medicinal cuisine with arrays and pill-refining techniques, Lin Fan develops a unique "medicinal array method" capable of astounding even the inner-sect elders. Eschewing divine systems, ancient mentors, and hidden bloodlines, this disadvantaged youth relies solely on a single pot and his own hands. Forging an unlikely bond with a silent giant and a talkative informant over bowls of chicken soup, and catching the eye of a notoriously icy inner-sect prodigy, Lin Fan proves that when talent falls short, one simply needs to change the racecourse to carve out a path to greatness.
