The Desolate Inn's Divine Menu

Tazeen Dastur was supposed to be the heir to the most legendary culinary dynasty in the realm of Parshangan. Instead, her spiritual root is deemed defective, and she is publicly stripped of her birthright and thrown into the mud outside the Grand Azure Pavilion while the elites laugh. Exiled to the crumbling Omid Caravanserai at the edge of the world, the shy but stubbornly resilient chef decides to simply cook her grief away. Her melancholic, soul-warming dishes are a stark contrast to the sterile, pill-based diets of the modern cultivation era. Soon, immortal patriarchs and Envoy Vesh-Tek - a haughty outworlder diplomat who views humanity as uncultured apes - are rolling in the dirt, pulling hair and throwing spiritual techniques at each other just to claim the last serving of her spiced lamb stew. But as the inn flourishes under the guidance of a seemingly kindly wanderer, Elder Zulfiqar, Tazeen realizes her magical ancestral recipe book is not a blessing. Every bowl served feeds an ancient, sealed entity. Can a timid chef defy her own bloodline and save her most annoying customers before the final course is served?
