Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Ling Chi extended his hand: "A generous gift, a thousand taels of gold."

"..." Ouyang Feng coldly took out a jade box from his pocket. After opening it, a green light shone, revealing a luminous pearl the size of a thumb.

"This is a luminous pearl, worth more than a thousand taels of gold." With that, Ouyang Feng channeled all his strength into his finger and launched the luminous pearl. The pearl moved like lightning; even a top-tier expert would be either killed or seriously injured if struck by it.

Upon seeing this, Wang Chongyang was both shocked and furious: "Young brother, young..."

Before she could even utter the word "heart," Ling Chi casually grabbed the luminous pearl, examined it closely for a moment, and nodded, "It's real." He then handed it to Shuang'er beside him, smiling, "It's for you."

Shuang'er smiled radiantly: "Thank you, brother."

"..."

Seeing Shuang'er happily playing with the luminous pearl, Wang Chongyang fell silent, as did Ouyang Feng.

"Good! A delicacy worth a thousand taels of gold—Flying Toad!" Ling Chi took a covered dish from the wheelbarrow, placed it in front of Ouyang Feng, and smiled, "Please enjoy."

Upon hearing the words "flying toad," Ouyang Feng thought Ling Chi was insulting him. However, the scene of Ling Chi casually catching the luminous pearl earlier made him hesitant to make any rash moves.

He admitted that he had misjudged the young man. This man, who resembled the White Impermanence, was probably no less skilled in martial arts than him.

Ouyang Feng was shocked, angry, and afraid: This kid is only eighteen or nineteen years old, yet he is so powerful! Where did he come from?

With a heart full of negative emotions, Ouyang Feng lifted the lid.

The next moment, blue light pierced the night sky, illuminating everyone's faces.

Chapter 5 Fusion Recipes

Everyone was stunned.

"This...this is..."

Everyone crowded around Ouyang Feng, staring intently at the plate of flying toads.

The blue light lasted only two or three seconds before gradually dissipating, but this brief burst of blue light was unforgettable for the Five Masters.

“Young man…” Wang Chongyang turned to look at Ling Chi and couldn’t help but ask, “What was that just now?”

“As I said, this time it’s a more exquisite meal.” Ling Chi smiled slightly: “One thousand taels of gold is well worth it.”

Even Ouyang Feng had to nod in agreement. Putting everything else aside, the blue light effect and the enticing aroma alone were enough to make his stomach rumble, and he couldn't wait to make his move.

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Ouyang Feng, a high-level blue-ranked diner. Conquest count +0.01. High-level blue-ranked recipe dropped: Flying Toad."

"Flying Toad: Advanced Blue Recipe, Jump +2, Valid for three uses."

……

Another flying toad? The effect is the same as the flying toad in the Condor Heroes world.

Just as Ling Chi was slightly stunned, he suddenly heard a notification sound.

"Ding! Two identical advanced blue recipes have been found—Flying Toad. They can be fused into a top-tier blue recipe. Do you wish to fuse them?"

Ling Chi was truly stunned this time, then overjoyed, and silently chanted: Fusion!

"Ding, the blue advanced recipe Flying Toad has begun to fuse... Fusing in progress... Fusing successful."

"Ding! Through fusion, the blue advanced recipe Flying Toad has evolved into the blue top-tier recipe Floating Toad."

"Floating Toad: Top-tier blue recipe. After jumping, you can float at the maximum height. The effect cannot be stacked."

……

Ling Chi's eyes turned a bright green, scanning back and forth across Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, and Duan Zhixing's faces.

The three felt Ling Chi's gaze and their skin crawled. They turned around and saw Ling Chi smiling at them, saying, "Would you three like to try some?"

Ouyang Feng had just eaten the Flying Toad and was in a blissful, ecstatic state. After regaining his senses, he wolfed down the entire plate of food and was now licking the plate clean.

For the dignified Ouyang Feng to lose his composure like this, what kind of delicious dish must this be?

The three men were incredibly hungry, and upon hearing Ling Chi's question, Duan Zhixing immediately said, "Give me one plate! No, two plates!"

After saying that, he took a jade pendant from his waist and said, "This is my jade pendant. Is it worth two thousand taels of gold?"

Ling Chi glanced at it briefly. The jade pendant was entirely emerald green and extremely lustrous, clearly not an ordinary piece. He wasn't an expert on jade, but he had heard of terms like "ice jade," "glass jade," and "imperial green jade." In this era, there were no fakes to deceive people, and this jade pendant belonged to the emperor of the Dali Kingdom, so it was definitely a genuine high-grade jade.

Ling Chi smiled broadly: "Of course it's worth it."

Duan Zhixing smiled and tossed the jade pendant over.

Ling Chi grabbed it casually and examined it closely.

The jade pendant, crafted using openwork techniques, depicts a divine dragon riding on auspicious clouds; it is exquisitely beautiful. Ling Chi fell in love with it at first sight and immediately tied it around her waist. Although she was wearing a chef's uniform, wearing this jade pendant instantly made her feel much more sophisticated.

Yes, from now on, I'm the Emperor's Chef!

……

Ling Chi placed two plates of flying toads in front of Duan Zhixing. When Duan Zhixing opened them, two beams of blue light shot into the sky, which amazed everyone once again.

Duan Zhixing took out a flat little wooden box from his pocket, opened it, and pulled out a pair of silver folding chopsticks. After straightening them, they became a complete pair of chopsticks.

Ling Chi sighed in admiration: "Emperors really know how to have fun."

Duan Zhixing found the first dish delicious, and although he felt excited all over, especially his legs, he was not completely won over.

But he couldn't escape the second dish.

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Duan Zhixing, a high-level blue-ranked diner. Conquest count +0.01. High-level blue-ranked recipe dropped: 'May Buddha have mercy.'"

"Buddha's Compassion: Advanced Blue Recipe, Compassion +2, Valid for three uses."

"Ding! Two advanced blue recipes have been found—'Buddha's Compassion' and can be combined into a top-tier blue recipe. Do you wish to combine them?"

Do you need to ask?

Fusion!

"Ding, the blue advanced recipe has begun to be fused by Buddha's mercy... Fusing in progress... Fusing successful."

"Ding, through fusion, the blue advanced recipe 'Buddha's Compassion' has evolved into the blue top-tier recipe 'Great Compassion'."

"Great Compassion: Top-tier blue recipe, can turn diners of blue level and below from evil to good, but has no effect on purple level and above."

……

Is this... is this asking me to maintain world peace?

"Ah! Delicious! Delicious! Absolutely delicious!" Duan Zhixing was the emperor of Dali, and he had tasted all kinds of delicious food, but he was still captivated by the food, looking as if he had reached the final stage of the matter.

Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were even more itchy to eat, especially Hong Qigong. He was the greatest glutton in the world, and for the sake of food, he had lost a finger and was tricked into taking the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Now, with delicious food right beside him, but no money to eat a single bite, he was in unbearable pain.

Huang Yaoshi silently took out a bottle of Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills from his bosom and said, "My Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills are made from the dew on the petals of nine different flowers in the morning. They are vermilion in color and have a pleasant fragrance. After taking them, they can nourish the spirit, strengthen the body, and prolong life. There are ten pills in the bottle, which can be sold for two thousand taels of gold."

Ling Chi's lips twitched.

He had already learned how to make the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. But it wasn't him who learned it.

Collecting dew from nine different flower petals every day is too troublesome, so Shuang'er has always been in charge of this task. Because in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Shuang'er basically stays on the island to look after the house, so she has plenty of time to do this kind of work, and thus learned how to make Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills early on. Now she has hundreds of bottles of Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills in her Chef God Space, but she hasn't used them much.

but……

Given the opportunity to integrate the recipes, he had no choice but to accept the useless pills and serve him two plates of flying toads.

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Huang Yaoshi, a high-level blue-level diner. Conquest count +0.01. High-level blue-level recipe dropped - Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms."

"Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms: Advanced Blue Recipe, Charm +2, Valid for three uses."

"Ding! Two advanced blue recipes have been found—Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. They can be combined into a top-tier blue recipe. Do you wish to combine them?"

Fusion!

"Ding, the blue advanced recipe Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms has begun to fuse... Fusing in progress... Fusing successful."

"Ding! Through fusion, the blue advanced recipe Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms has evolved into the blue top-tier recipe Peach Blossom Luck."

"Romantic Luck: Top-tier blue recipe, greatly enhances attraction to the opposite sex, effects cannot be stacked."

……

Seeing the results of this recipe, Ling Chi stroked his chin: Am I really going to become a walking hormone magnet from now on? Sigh! My irresistible charm has nowhere to go.

……

Seeing Huang Yaoshi also enjoying the delicious food so much that he couldn't tear himself away, Hong Qigong cried.

That's too much of a bullying for beggars.

Chapter Six: Ling the Skinflint

"Waaaaah..."

Upon hearing the sound of weeping, the four masters all turned their gazes to Hong Qigong.

Upon seeing this, Ouyang Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out in Shandong dialect, "He cried."

"..."

"Brother Hong, why do you have to be like this?" Duan Zhixing couldn't stand it anymore. This Hong Qigong was a master in the martial arts world who was as famous as him, but now he was crying because he couldn't afford to eat delicious food. It didn't look good on Duan Zhixing either.

"It's just a dish of food. Brother Hong, if you don't have any money, I'll pay for it for you." Duan Zhixing patted himself down, but couldn't find anything of value.

"This..." Duan Zhixing said to Ling Chi somewhat awkwardly, "Young brother, I don't have that much money on me. Can I pay you after the sword competition? I am the Emperor of Dali, and I will never default on my debts."

Ling Chi thought for a moment and said, "I trust Lord Duan. I wonder if Lord Duan would like to invite Chief Hong to one dish or two dishes?"

“This…” Duan Zhixing wanted to say “one plate,” but facing Hong Qigong’s teary eyes, he sighed inwardly and said, “Of course, it’s two plates.”

"Emperor Duan is truly generous." Ling Chi gave a thumbs up and served Hong Qigong two plates of flying toads.

"Thank you very much, Brother Duan." Hong Qigong's mouth was practically watering as he said, "If you ever need my help in the future, just ask, and I'll take care of it without hesitation."

"Brother Hong, you flatter me." Duan Zhixing smiled slightly and was about to say a few polite words when Ling Chi interrupted, "Speaking of which, even Master Chongyang doesn't have money for food."

Duan Zhixing: "..."

Wang Chongyang: "..."
