    I'm kind of trying to write my own stories, but I easily get stuck with names and such and was wondering if anyone of you knew of any comprehensive list of herb/fruit names that could appear in a cultivation novel, or any name generator for that purpose.

    It would help me immensely, thank you.

    From many sources. Sometimes they make the name up themself based on their fiction places and uses; sometimes, they borrow from other famous xianxia novels, or from Chinese classic texts like Classic of Mountains and Seas, Shennong Ben Cao Jing, or traditional Chinese medicine texts such as Huangdi Neijing; or just Baidu search tho.

    its usually a noun first then its attribute (so like spatial, fire, etc) then some plant like a ginseng or a vegetable/fruit and sometimes they just put fruit or grass out of laziness
