Chapter Forty-One: Under Heaven

When Ling Chi reached the blue advanced cooking skill level last time, she obtained her first purple recipe - Divine Eagle Tea Egg.

Although it's just a one-time recipe, the effect is outstanding; it can fly for five seconds.

Although it only takes five seconds, it's enough to accomplish many things.

but!

The ingredient needed for this recipe is the egg laid by the 'Divine Eagle'.

The so-called divine eagle is a female eagle that can understand human speech and has become a spirit. Something like Xiaobai is a spirit; if it were a female snake and laid eggs, perhaps they could be used to make a purple dish.

When Ling Chi reached the advanced blue level in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, he obtained this recipe, but he was unable to conquer the great Zhang Sanfeng because he lacked ingredients. After arriving in this world, he spent almost all his time in Zhongnan Mountain and did not go to the valley outside Xiangyang City to look for the giant eagle.

The reason is simple: the eagle is a male and cannot lay eggs.

How can you be sure it's a male eagle? Do you even need to be sure? In the original work, Yang Guo always called it Brother Eagle. If it were a female eagle, it wouldn't be Brother Eagle, but Sister Eagle.

If eagles could lay eggs, they would truly be 'divine eagles', wouldn't they? They would be hermaphroditic, wouldn't they?

The Divine Eagle Tea Egg is already extremely rare, but this newly acquired Dragon Meat Pastry is even more indescribable.

The main ingredient is actually the meat of a dragon.

The Jiaolong is a legendary water beast with dragon blood. It is said that if a Jiaolong encounters thunder and lightning, it will soar straight up to the heavens. To put it simply, it is like being struck by lightning during a tribulation. As long as it survives the lightning strike, it is considered to have successfully transcended the tribulation and become a true dragon.

Where could he possibly find such a powerful dragon?

This is no longer within the realm of martial arts, okay?

Ling Chi had always felt that he would enter the mythical world sooner or later. With the appearance of this recipe, his guess has been 90% confirmed. The remaining 10% was just uncertainty before things happened.

"What will we do in the future?" Ling Chi was only happy for a few minutes after the upgrade, and then he was filled with worries about the future.

"Ugh... um..." Ouyang Feng lay on the ground panting.

"..."

Ling Chi looked down at him and said, "Now, you're useless."

"No...don't kill me." Ouyang Feng pleaded weakly, his eyes no longer dull: "I don't want to die."

"..." Ling Chi squatted down and said, "Are you cured of your madness?"

“I… I recovered a few months ago.” Ouyang Feng’s eyes were full of pleading: “I’m willing to serve you, please don’t kill me.”

Ling Chi stroked his chin, thinking to himself: It seems that popsicles can indeed treat brain diseases; this is an unexpected bonus.

But Ouyang Feng must die today.

“If you were still crazy, I would be more at ease, but now that you’re better, I absolutely cannot spare your life.”

Ling Chi raised his right palm and slapped it down.

"you……"

Snapped--

Ouyang Feng died.

Looking at Ouyang Feng's corpse, Ling Chi shook his head: "Be a good person in your next life!"

Turning to look at the trembling Golden Wheel Monk, Ling Chi said calmly, "You're useless now."

"I……"

Snapped--

The Golden Wheel Dharma King has passed away.

……

The army returned in triumph to Xiangyang.

This time, the Song Dynasty mobilized a million troops, fought for nine months, from spring to winter, and went through hundreds of battles, large and small. They successfully recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, took back the territories that the Jin Dynasty had occupied, and drove the Mongols back to the grasslands.

The Song Dynasty's territory was now even larger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, which greatly excited the entire court. Emperor Lizong of Song took the opportunity to revise the national policy, no longer emphasizing civil affairs over military matters, but giving equal importance to both.

This great battle allowed Emperor Lizong of Song to experience the thrill of war, and the civil service also felt that governing the country with only the pen was not enough to ensure national peace and prosperity; ultimately, the gun was still needed to protect the country.

With the support of Lingchi's more than one hundred acts of national integrity, the government and the public unanimously supported revising the national policy.

The Song Dynasty finally began to drift in a different historical direction.

……

"Brother Jing!"

"father!"

"Master!"

At the city gate, Huang Rong, holding Guo Xiang and Guo Polu, along with Guo Fu, the two Wu brothers, and the two Wu brothers, welcomed the triumphant Guo Jing.

"Rong'er, Fu'er." Guo Jing walked over with a big smile. When he saw the two children in Huang Rong's arms, he said excitedly, "Are they... Xiang'er and Po Lu?"

As early as after Huang Rong gave birth, a Beggars' Sect disciple relayed the news to Guo Jing at the front lines. Upon learning that Huang Rong had given birth to twins, Guo Jing was so excited that his fighting spirit exploded. He fought with unparalleled bravery on the battlefield, striking fear into the hearts of the Mongol soldiers. Ultimately, before winter arrived, he drove the Mongols back to the grasslands, not only recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun but also completely driving the Mongols north of the Great Wall.

Guo Jing's bravery in battle, including the killing of over a hundred Mongol generals, made him the greatest contributor to the Northern Expedition. His name has appeared on Emperor Lizong's desk several times; whether he will be remembered for eternity is uncertain, but bringing glory to his ancestors is a certainty.

Huang Rong smiled and said, "Yes, these are Xiang'er and Po Lu. The names that Brother Jing came up with back then have all come to fruition."

Guo Jing held one child in each arm, and seeing how handsome and lovable they were, he was overjoyed: "Good! Good! My Guo family has an heir!"

"Dad, Mom has prepared a delicious meal and is just waiting for you to come home!" Guo Fu said with a smile.

"Hahaha..." Guo Jing laughed loudly and said, "Let's go! Let's go home for dinner!"

……

In the Lin'an Imperial Palace, after reading the contents of the memorial, Emperor Lizong of Song leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

This great victory completely reversed the fate of the Song Dynasty.

Although the Mongols still possessed a population of over 200 million and formidable strength thanks to their conquest of the Western Regions and Central Asia, transportation in that era was underdeveloped, making warfare far from easy. Moreover, with harsh winter approaching, many would undoubtedly perish on the grasslands—a situation far more advantageous for the Song Dynasty.

Thanks to the advantages of an agricultural society, almost all the people of the Song Dynasty had houses to protect them from the cold and could grow their own grains and vegetables for food. Which country or region could compare to the Song Dynasty in terms of wealth and abundance?

Moreover, the Southern Song Dynasty had already reclaimed all the territories lost by the Northern Song Dynasty, and even managed to seize an unimaginably large territory while also taking in tens of millions of people.

Roughly estimated, the Song Dynasty now has a population of around 100 million, and its territory is mostly fertile and prosperous land. Its economy, culture, and technology are among the world's best. With such favorable conditions, what is there to fear, no matter how many Mongols come? Just give them a good beating!

Emperor Lizong of Song opened his eyes, took out a book from his sleeve, and wrote four large characters on the book: "Strategies for Governing the Country".

Turning to the first page, you see a slogan familiar to all Chinese people: "To get rich, build roads first."

Needless to say, this book must have been given to him by Ling Chi.

Emperor Lizong of Song perused the governing strategies that Ling Chi had given him, and the more he read, the more amazed he became. The more he read, the more he felt that Ling Chi should be invited to be the national advisor of the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Ling Chi had no interest in power, which prevented him from always listening to teachings.

Closing the book, Emperor Lizong turned to look at the world map on the wall and glanced at the location of the Song Dynasty...

He was somewhat saddened: "Is my Great Song Dynasty really this small?"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because our Great Song Dynasty is still too small that we need Your Majesty to continue your efforts to build an unprecedentedly vast empire for our Great Song Dynasty," the Sunflower Ancestor said with a smile.

"Excellent!" Emperor Lizong of Song's ambition surged: "Under the whole heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king. Wherever the sun shines, that is the territory of my Great Song! And whoever lives on this territory is a citizen of my Great Song!"

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Sunflower Ancestor, and he knelt on the ground: "This old servant swears to protect His Majesty with his life."

"Get up!"

After the Sunflower Ancestor got up, Emperor Lizong patted him on the shoulder and said, "You must also take care of your health, and don't leave before my great cause is accomplished."

The Sunflower Ancestor was deeply moved: "This old servant obeys your command."

"..." Emperor Lizong sat down again and shook his head: "It's easier said than done!"

"Your Majesty?" Sunflower Ancestor asked, puzzled.

Emperor Lizong sighed: "I... am almost forty years old!"

"..."

Chapter Forty-Two: The Sword Fairy

Chef's Space, Farm.

"Hiss (Give me food quickly, I can't wait any longer)~~~~" Ling Chi had only been in for a short time when he was entangled by Xiao Bai.

"What's the rush? It's not like I'm not going to give it to you." Ling Chi flicked its snake head, then tossed it a beggar's chicken with its shell knocked off. Little White immediately pounced on the chicken, tore off a piece of meat the size of a fingernail, and swallowed it.

"Hiss (Ah, that feels so good)~~~~~~~~~" Feeling a sudden surge of power within its body, Xiao Bai wiggled around comfortably, and seemed to have grown a little bigger.

Ling Chi seemed lost in thought. When Little White first entered the farm, it wasn't very big. After consuming a large amount of recipes, it grew rapidly into a giant python. However, with each level up, it began to shrink from a giant python until it became a miniature snake the size of an earthworm. This state remained unchanged for hundreds of years due to its level limitations. With its recent level up, Little White has begun its second round of growth.

This is the first time I've ever seen a snake that varies in size so drastically, and I've never heard of a snake with this characteristic in myths or legends. That's what makes it so peculiar.

Watching Xiaobai comfortably expose its belly and lie there, Ling Chi pondered to himself: What kind of creature is Xiaobai?

……

As Ling Chi's culinary skills improved to the highest level (blue rank), he didn't leave the cabin for a long time afterward. During the day, he would either read the Daoist scriptures or practice martial arts with Xiao Longnu and play music. In the evenings, he would either cook in the Chef's Space or check on the farm's progress.

...Even if the object is a beauty of the caliber of Yilin or Zhou Zhiruo, it's the same.

In addition, every summer, Huang Rong would bring Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, and Guo Polu to stay at the cabin for a period of time.

They came here for a vacation.

With free food, beautiful mountain scenery, various fun entertainment options, and people to talk to freely, these two months of the year are Huang Rong's most relaxed and happy time.

Through Huang Rong, Ling Chi will also learn about some major events that have occurred in the imperial court and the martial arts world over the past year.

As early as after the Northern Expeditionary Army's triumphant return, Guo Jing was appointed by Emperor Lizong of Song as the garrison commander of Xiangyang, currently responsible for guarding the city. He also holds the concurrent title of General Patrol of the South, which allows him to mobilize the Xiangyang garrison to quell any rebellions or uprisings in the south.

However, after years of development, the southern part of the Song Dynasty had become quite prosperous, and there were almost no rebellions. Even if there were, they were just minor incidents that the local government could handle. So Guo Jing had been quite leisurely these past few years.
