The First World of Swordsman

Chapter One: Young Brother and Sister

Mount Hua, also known as Mount Taihua, is one of the Five Sacred Mountains. It is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooks the Yellow and Wei Rivers in the north. Since ancient times, it has been known as "the most precipitous mountain under heaven".

There is a Huashan Sect on Mount Hua, whose leader is surnamed Yue and named Buqun, known in the martial arts world as the Gentleman Sword.

Yue Buqun's wife, Ning Zhongze, was a renowned heroine in the martial arts world, respectfully known as Lady Ning.

Back when Ning Zhongze was unmarried, she was known as the Jade Maiden of Mount Hua. Her beauty was extraordinary, captivating countless heroes of the martial arts world. It was a pity that such a beautiful flower was stuck in cow dung. In order to revitalize the Mount Hua Sect, this beautiful Jade Maiden of Mount Hua eventually married Yue Buqun, who was of average appearance and martial arts skills, causing countless heroes to weep and lament.

Now, Ning Zhongze has been married for eighteen years, and her daughter is seventeen years old. The former Jade Maiden of Mount Hua has entered middle age. Even so, her beauty remains undiminished, making countless middle-aged and elderly heroes both envious and jealous of Yue Buqun.

……

Huashan Town is a small town at the foot of Mount Hua.

Six months ago, a young brother and sister opened a unique tavern here, named Hero's Inn.

The tavern was small and simply decorated, with the same basic features everywhere. But it had one unique feature—it offered free hospitality to 'heroes,' that is, martial arts practitioners who wielded swords and spears.

"If you beat me, the food and drinks will be provided free of charge."

This is what the tavern owner said himself, and this is what he did.

The townspeople thought the tavern would soon be bankrupt, but they didn't expect that although the owner was young, he was highly skilled in martial arts and defeated all the able-bodied men in the town, none of whom were his match.

For the past six months, apart from the occasional passerby from the martial arts world, only the masters and disciples of the Huashan Sect have been able to enjoy the food and wine for free.

The Huashan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects. Although it only has a handful of members, its strength is considerable. Its Huashan Sword Technique and internal energy cultivation methods are enough to dominate the region.

Located at the foot of Mount Hua, Hero's Inn has been a convenient location for the Huashan Sect masters and disciples, who have been enjoying a lot of free food and drink over the past six months.

Especially Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Mount Hua.

The wine at Hero's Inn is called "Shaodaozi" (烧刀子). It has a rich aroma, a burning sensation when it goes down, and a strong kick, making it especially appealing to the palates of chivalrous heroes.

As the embodiment of a drunkard, Linghu Chong was captivated by the wine after his first sip. If it weren't for Lady Ning's shyness and her occasional attempts to dissuade him, he probably would have been living and eating at the Hero's Inn for the next six months.

even so……

"Brother Ling, I'm here again! Quickly bring out the best wine and food!"

In early autumn, at three-quarters past dawn, a man in his late twenties carrying a sword burst in.

"Senior Brother, please don't do that, you'll scare Sister Shuang'er."

A beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old followed the man in.

The couple were none other than Linghu Chong, the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, and Yue Lingshan, the daughter of Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect.

Yue Lingshan glanced around and saw the tall, slender figure by the wine cabinet. Her bright eyes lit up, and her beautiful face gained even more charm.

"Brother Ling." Yue Lingshan stepped forward, a smile playing on her lips. "Is Brother Ling alone? Where is Sister Shuang'er?"

"Shuang'er is in the kitchen." Ling Chi's face was full of smiles as soon as the two came in: "Brother Linghu and Sister Lingshan haven't been here for a while. What have you been busy with lately?"

Ling Chi, the tavern owner, looks like an eighteen-year-old boy, but he is 1.83 meters tall and rather thin.

She has delicate features and an incredibly friendly smile.

Facing Ling Chi's smile, Yue Lingshan felt as if she were basking in the warm spring sunshine, and her body and mind relaxed.

"Don't even mention it." Linghu Chong sat down on the long bench and urged, "Brother Ling, bring me a pot of strong liquor first, so I can satisfy my craving."

"Senior Brother!" Yue Lingshan said, both amused and annoyed, "It's all your fault for coming back to the mountain drunk last time. Father caught you red-handed, and you were punished with seven days of solitary confinement. But you haven't shown any remorse. You went straight to Brother Ling's place for a drink as soon as you came down the mountain. Aren't you afraid of being punished by Father again?"

Linghu Chong said with a fawning smile, "With my junior sister supervising me, how could I dare to drink too much? Just one pot, I'll leave after I finish it."

Yue Lingshan rolled her eyes: "I'd never believe you."

"I see." Ling Chi understood and smiled, "Brother Linghu, drinking is no problem, but after seven days apart, you haven't forgotten our rules, have you?"

"Tsk!" Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong stood up with a helpless expression: "Weapons or fists and feet?"

"Swords and blades have no eyes, let's fight with fists and feet!"

Linghu Chong glanced around: "Here?"

The tavern is too small; there's not enough room to maneuver.

"Outside." Ling Chi stepped out of the tavern first.

Linghu Chong followed closely behind.

"He hit me again." Yue Lingshan looked helpless and turned to go to the kitchen to find her younger sister Shuang'er.

Out of sight, out of mind.

...Ten minutes later...

With a bruised and swollen face, Ling Chi went into the kitchen to cook.

"Oh dear!" Yue Lingshan exclaimed, and a moment later she ran out of the kitchen, scolding Linghu Chong who was sitting with his back to her, "Senior Brother, how could you beat Brother Ling so badly! You... Ah!!?"

Linghu Chong turned his head, his dark circles under his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Junior sister, if I don't go all out, I'm afraid I'll be the one who gets beaten down."

"You...this..." Yue Lingshan was so shocked she couldn't speak.

"Hiss~~~~~" Linghu Chong rubbed his slightly swollen left cheek and hissed: "Brother Ling's martial arts talent is terrifying. His free fighting technique is also difficult to deal with. Half a year ago, I could easily beat him, but now he is not much worse than me. If a few more months pass, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink for free anymore."

"..." Yue Lingshan was speechless.

Soon, a petite and pretty girl of about twelve or thirteen years old came out of the kitchen carrying a tray. When she saw Linghu Chong, who had dark circles under his eyes and was drinking by himself, she smiled and said, "Brother Linghu, this is a new dish that my brother has developed. Please try it."

"Oh?" Upon seeing the little girl, Linghu Chong smiled and said, "Shuang'er has become even more beautiful in the few days I've seen her."

"Senior Brother!" Yue Lingshan said coquettishly.

"Ahem!" Linghu Chong coughed lightly, "Brother Ling, what new dish have you been researching this time?"

"Nine-Turned Intestines." Shuang'er smiled as she placed the dish on the table, saying, "Please, Brother Linghu and Sister Lingshan, enjoy."

"Nine-Turned Intestines..." Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan looked at the glistening, golden intestines on the plate and asked, "What is nine-turn?"

Shuang'er smiled and said in a soft, melodious voice, "Taoists are skilled in alchemy and have a dish called the 'Nine-Turn Immortal Pill.' Eating this delicacy is like taking 'nine turns,' which is comparable to the immortal pill. Hence the name 'Nine-Turn Large Intestine.'"

Linghu Chong chuckled upon hearing this: "My brother Ling here really has quite the big mouth, able to make such a big deal out of a pig intestine."

"Whether it's all talk or just as good, we'll know once we try it." Ling Chi walked over with a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of cold dishes, and sat down opposite Linghu Chong: "Anyway, it's free."

“That’s true.” Linghu Chong looked at Ling Chi’s swollen face and chuckled, “Why not eat it if it’s free? If it’s delicious, we’ll make a profit.”

Ling Chi covered her swollen face and glanced at him sideways: Just wait, I'll make you pay sooner or later.

"Ling Shan, you should eat too!" Ling Chi handed over a pair of new wooden chopsticks.

Yue Lingshan can no longer beat him, but there's an unwritten rule at Hero's Inn—beautiful girls are free.

Yue Lingshan is seventeen years old this year. She is as beautiful as a flower, charming and lovely, and her beauty is known throughout the whole town. With her around, the inn's business will be much better, so we can't let her go.

"Thank you, Brother Ling." Yue Lingshan took the chopsticks, said thank you, and then she and Linghu Chong picked up a piece of braised pork intestines and put it in their mouths.

"Well--"

next moment.

The continuous ringing sound echoed in Ling Chi's mind.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Yue Lingshan, an ordinary white-clad diner. Conquest count +1. Since she had already dropped the recipe, no recipes were dropped this time."

"Ding, you have conquered 100 diners of the same level. The upgrade condition has been met. Host Ling Chi's cooking skill level has been promoted to white advanced level."

"Ding! Congratulations to host Ling Chi for upgrading her cooking skills to advanced white level. You are rewarded with one one-time ordinary blue recipe, [Squirrel Fish]."

"Squirrel Fish: Common blue recipe, increases Agility by 2 after consumption."

……

Chapter Two: The Chef System

"Congratulations, you have been selected as the new host of the [God of Cookery System]."

Two years ago, on Ling Chi's eighteenth birthday, he was possessed by the [God of Cooking System] that fell from the sky, becoming a candidate for the God of Cooking. Strangely, this system also came with the function of traveling through time and space, immediately taking him to the world of "The Deer and the Cauldron".

Ling Chi remained calm at the time. After all, he had read many online novels over the years and had seen plenty of stories about time travel and system possession. When it came to his own, although he was a little excited, he was also quite composed.

After spending a few days learning about the system's functions and the environment he was in, Ling Chi found a job as a waiter in a restaurant at the location where he had traveled.

With her diligence and honeyed tongue, she was quickly noticed by the head chef of the restaurant and became his kitchen helper.

A year later, Ling Chi completed his apprenticeship and surpassed his master. Six months later, he became the restaurant's signature chef, making the restaurant's business increasingly prosperous, which attracted the attention of the third young mistress of the Zhuang family.
