On the vast and endless Primordial Land, there flows a Great River, ceaselessly rushing and stretching through ti.
The Great River branches into countless andering tributaries from its wide channel.
They are like the gentle arms of a mother, reaching into every corner of the earth, nurturing myriad creatures along the banks like precious veins.
Among them is a clear stream with picturesque scenery on both sides, known as the Jiang River.
Beside the Jiang River, the land is fertile and the grass and water are abundant.
Here lives a small, honest Human Race tribe that has resided by the water for generations.
They bear the surna Jiang.
Just how small is the Jiang Clan?
Within the Human Race's vast population of trillions, this tribe has only over a hundred thousand people.
Most cultivators able to embark on the path of cultivation practice the most basic Golden Core Dao.
Those capable of becoming Immortal are few and far between.
In the Human Race's realm, they are but a drop in the ocean, hardly noticeable.
One day, a wise woman nad Ren Si from the tribe was exploring and gathering herbs in a nearby valley called Huayang.
Suddenly, she felt the world spinning, sensing the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and the earth, conceiving within her.
With both apprehension and anticipation, she returned to the tribe.
Ten months later, by the clear waters of the Jiang River, she successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
She nad the child Lie Shan.
The birth of Lie Shan was accompanied by endless auspicious ons and anomalies.
He was extrely extraordinary.
Born with a powerful Innate Dharma Form, his form resembled a human body with a bull's head.
However, in this miracle-filled Primordial World, a naturally extraordinary child isn't seen as an anomaly but receives more affection from the tribe.
Especially since the Human Emperor Fu Xi, with a similar natural anomaly, achieved supre rit, setting a precedent.
Thus, Lie Shan's birth did not face any undeserved treatnt.
Instead, he was viewed as a prodigy by the tribe, raised with great care and high expectations.
And Lie Shan exhibited extraordinary talent from a young age.
At three, he intuitively grasped many truths without guidance.
Yet, the child had an odd habit; during harvest, he often stared blankly at the crops alone.
When he grew up, he was eight feet seven inches tall, with a broad, kind deanor.
Despite a slightly slender build, his seemingly delicate body contained boundless, earth-like heavy Strength.
He had an inexplicable affinity for various plants from birth.
He loved wandering the wild, getting acquainted with all kinds of exotic herbs, and tasting grains and fruits never seen before.
He could easily distinguish which plants were poisonous, which ones were edible, and which had miraculous dicinal effects.
However, at that ti, the Jiang River Basin was not a peaceful paradise.
With the population's continuous expansion, land and resources beca increasingly scarce.
Many water-dwelling tribes began fierce conflicts over limited resources.
The Jiang Clan, being a weak small tribe, often found themselves at a disadvantage in these brutal fights, with tribesn frequently injured or even killed.
Seeing the tribesn's painful groans and the tearful eyes of kin, young Lie Shan felt an imnse sorrow.
He deeply abhorred such cruel fights ignited by the struggle for survival between kin.
Lie Shan believed the fundantal reason for the tribe's frequent casualties and skirmishes was an intense lack of resources.
Moreover, he desperately sought a way to heal the clansn injured in these battles.
So he believed if he could develop new, more stable and abundant resources for the tribe.
Perhaps then, this brutal war could be resolved at its root.
"Food is the foremost priority of the people!"
"Eating is our Human Race's number one issue for survival and developnt!"
"What if I start with the fundantal aspect of 'eating'?"
A grand idea slowly erged in his mind.
Among the Human Race's various tribes, there circulated a remarkable Book co-authored by sages of previous generations.
It is—The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Through countless creations and improvents by generations of Human Race sages.
Today, The Classic of Mountains and Seas has beco far more than a re geography book recording the Primordial terrain.
It is also an encyclopedia featuring countless Exotic Beast, divine herbs, and Immortal Wood.
To so extent, it's also a super cookbook recording myriad ways to obtain and cook food.
Lie Shan drew endless inspiration from this profound Classic of Mountains and Seas.
He was born with a transparent, crystal-like magical belly.
His abdon was crystal clear, showing the movent of internal organs.
Whenever he consud any flower, plant, or fruit, he could clearly observe what effects they produced within his belly, whether they turned into nourishing nutrients or corrosive toxins.
