Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

"Mei Chaofeng, a white-clad high-class diner, attribute: living being. Recruitment successful."

A flash of white light, and Mei Chaofeng appeared in the Chef God Space.

The sudden change in scenery terrified Mei Chaofeng, but seeing Ling Chi and Shuang'er there, she felt relieved and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ling, Miss Shuang'er, where is this? Who are you people?"

Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Come with us to a place, and you'll understand everything when we get there."

"..."

……

At the farm, when Mei Chaofeng saw the elderly version of Huang Yaoshi, she was completely stunned.

“Chaofeng…” Huang Yaoshi grabbed her hand excitedly: “I will never let you leave again.”

Mei Chaofeng: "..."

……

Soon after, fifteen-year-old Mei Chaofeng learned everything, which had a huge impact on her.

Immortality? Traveling through worlds? Spending a lifetime with an elderly master from another world...

She wanted to be alone.

……

In the bamboo forest, Hong Qigong was roasting bamboo rats when he heard Ling Chi's story. He asked in surprise, "You actually brought Mei Chaofeng in?"

"What can I do?" Ling Chi shrugged. "Old Huang keeps nagging in my ear all day long. If I don't give in, he'll keep nagging forever. I'm doing this for peace and quiet in the future."

"Heh." Hong Qigong chuckled, "This old Huang Yaoshi is old in years but young at heart, actually developing romantic feelings for his disciple."

He paused for a moment, then said, "But this is the real Huang Yaoshi."

Ling Chi nodded with a smile: "Over the years, has Master Qi settled in well at the farm?"

"Haha, I'm used to it." Hong Qigong opened the gourd stopper, took a sip of fine wine, and said with relish, "Linghu Chong is just what this old beggar wants. Every kind of wine is something I've never seen before, and there are all kinds of delicious food to taste every day. Now, even if you try to drive this old beggar away, he won't leave! Hahaha."

"Old beggar, what are you laughing at?" Amidst the laughter, Linghu Chong flew over carrying two wine jars: "Oh? Junior brother is here too! Perfect, let's try my newly brewed Hundred Fruit Fragrance. I think this must be my proudest creation."

Ling Chi laughed and said, "Then I'm in for a treat today."

"Haha, we share the good times and the bad!" Linghu rushed over and saw Hong Qigong roasting bamboo rats. He laughed and said, "Wine and meat, just right."

"Hiss~~~~~~~~"

A huge white python slithered out of the bamboo forest, saw Ling Chi, and immediately leaped down in front of him.

"Hiss (My body has reached its limit again, level up quickly)~~~~~~~"

"..."

Ling Chi sighed, "I wish I could! But the ingredients for the Blue Top-Tier Recipe are too hard to find, there's nothing I can do!"

Chapter Twelve: The Harvest of Ten Years

Currently, Lingchi has six top-tier blue recipes. In addition to the Floating Toad, Great Compassion, Peach Blossom Luck, and Overlord Chicken, which were fused from the Four Great Masters during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, there is also the [Game of Life], which was fused from Zhou Botong in the past two years, and the [Innate Qi], which was forcibly extracted from Wang Chongyang using fifty dishes.

Game of Life: Top-tier blue recipe, God's perspective +1, three valid uses.

The purpose of this dish is to give the consumer the feeling that 'life is a game,' allowing them to take control of their lives from a godlike perspective. Although emotional choices will still occur, those are choices made as 'players,' not as one's own.

Ling Chi felt that this recipe was a bit anti-human. If he ate this dish in the future, he would really treat every world as a game.

What are the side effects of treating life like a game? It's that the people you encounter aren't real people, but rather NPCs (player versus player characters).

Gamers should understand that although they may feel tense when fighting monsters and curse when they die, these are all part of the gaming experience, and they can always start over.

But real life isn't like that; when you encounter danger, you really can die. Once you're dead, you have nothing left.

Ling Chi felt that this "playing life" was meant for the villains he couldn't defeat in the future, so that they would treat life like a game until they played it too far and killed themselves.

The dish "Innate Qi" can transform acquired true qi into innate qi, with amazing effects.

Innate Qi: Top-tier blue recipe, converts 100 years of acquired true qi into 10 years of innate true qi, with a 10-day cooldown.

This dish is amazing. According to the system description, innate true qi far surpasses acquired true qi in terms of purity, solidity, and destructive power. Ling Chi's current total amount of acquired true qi of 800 years can be converted into 80 years of innate true qi.

Although its stamina appears to have decreased, its destructive power is several times that of acquired internal energy.

It's like a machine gun becoming a cannon; the power is incomparable.

but……

The ingredients for these six dishes are extremely rare. Although they can be found, the main ingredients grow in remote and inaccessible places. Ling Chi has been holed up in Zhongnan Mountain for two years, and although he has used the virtual function of the Chef God Space to refine the six dishes to 100% perfection, he still lacks real ingredients.

When Ling Chi left Zhongnan Mountain, why did he tell Shuang'er that he wanted to see all the world's scenery in this life? Besides feeling guilty towards Shuang'er, it was because he wanted to go to those remote places to find ingredients.

Seeing the scenery is just a side benefit.

……

"Wait a bit!" Ling Chi said, "Now that Huang Yaoshi's matter is resolved, I'll go out and find ingredients, and try to..." He stroked the snake's head and said, "I'll try to prepare enough ingredients for the upgrade within ten years. Just bear with it a little longer!"

"Hiss (Thank you for your hard work)~~~~~~"

"Oh?" Ling Chi looked at Xiao Bai with some surprise and chuckled, "You've grown up! This is the first time you've shown concern for me."

"Hiss (This is what Sister Yilin taught me; she said all living things should have a grateful heart)~~~~~"

"Yilin..." Ling Chi rubbed his kidneys: Tonight, I'll comfort Yilin properly!

At this moment, a sweet smell wafted from the bamboo rat. Ling Chi turned her head and saw that Hong Qigong was brushing honey.

This honey was cultivated after Xiaolongnu entered the farm.

Xiaolongnu's greatest passion in life was beekeeping and making honey. The jade honey she produced in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes was exceptionally effective, and the pure spiritual energy within the farm allowed all species to thrive at their best.

Using the first generation of jade bees, Xiaolongnu cultivated them for decades and finally produced the current second generation of jade bees. The quality of the jade honey has also been upgraded by a small level, and it is currently classified as a common blue recipe.

Modern jade honey can not only delay aging and maintain youthful appearance, but also preserve the body's sweetness, significantly enhancing one's personal charm.

As a lifelong homebody, Xiaolongnu enjoys her current life—it's peaceful and interesting. Although Ling Chi has other women who make her a little sad, it's not unacceptable.

She was, after all, a woman from ancient times, and her acceptance of men having multiple wives and concubines was much higher than that of modern women. Moreover, those women were very kind to her, so she wouldn't be ungrateful.

"It smells so good!" Linghu Chong took a deep breath and laughed, "Ever since Miss Long came, this jade honey has become an indispensable ingredient for barbecue. Junior brother, I really envy your good fortune with women."

Ling Chi smiled and asked, "What do you think of Ren Yingying? If you're interested, I'll help you find a matchmaker."

"Her?" Linghu Chong shuddered and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, that woman is too violent. If I really marry her, I'll never have a good life. I appreciate your kindness, Junior Brother, but I still think it's better to be a wanderer."

"I don't care." Ling Chi leaned against Xiao Bai and said, "Just don't feel lonely, Senior Brother."

"With wine to drink every day, how could I be lonely?" Linghu Chong laughed heartily. "Now that I have Qi Gong as a drinking buddy, I couldn't be happier."

"Hehe, even the old beggar is having a great time."

Hong Qigong and Linghu Chong locked eyes, their gazes brimming with homoerotic tension...

……

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Over the past decade, Ling Chi has taken Shuang'er to travel all over the country, to remote mountains and forests, glaciers and snowfields, and to almost every place in the world that is rarely visited by people.

After ten years, he finally collected enough ingredients to make each of the six top-tier blue recipes a hundred times, making it no longer a problem to upgrade to purple cooking skills.

He also gained many unexpected benefits during this process.

In the Arctic glaciers, he conquered a mutated polar bear. This polar bear was as big as an elephant, could understand human speech, was extremely intelligent, and could even walk upright for long periods of time. It seemed to have become a spirit.

When Ling Chi conquered it, it had already reached the advanced blue level, only one small level lower than the current Xiao Bai.

Ling Chi named it Da Bai, and it currently lives with Xiao Bai on the farm. Da Bai is incredibly strong and usually helps everyone carry heavy loads and can even plow the fields with its paws. It works tirelessly and is loved by everyone on the farm.

In the Kunlun Mountains, he found a mutated ice silkworm, which was quite different from the ice silkworm described in the novel "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". This ice silkworm was not transparent like crystal, but was entirely ice blue, and its length was over twenty centimeters. The cold aura emanating from its entire body was astonishing, and even Ling Chi, who was immune to both heat and cold, could feel the intense cold.

Ling Chi was lucky when she encountered it, because the ice silkworm was spinning its cocoon at the time, and she caught it without much effort. After that, she won it over with jade honey, named it Xiao Lan, and recruited it to the farm. Its current job is ice making.

Little Blue has lived on the farm for over sixty years, cocooned twice, and evolved into its top-tier blue state, expanding to a length of one meter, looking just like a blue snake.

The cocoon it spun was extremely tough, and Ning Zhong skillfully crafted it into a pair of gloves and a pair of socks. Their toughness was enough to withstand the 'ordinary' swords and knives forged by Pu Heng, and they were also resistant to poison and corrosion.

Once, Ling Chi wore gloves to pick Vermilion Fruit. Suddenly, a venomous snake hiding in a tree trunk spat out venom, which Ling Chi managed to block with his hand. The gloves were unharmed, but the venom, once spilled on the ground, corroded the stones, proving its toxicity was comparable to that of Xiao Bai years ago.

It's a pity this venomous snake didn't become a spirit, otherwise it would have gone to the farm to keep Little White company long ago.

Despite the corrosive effects of the potent venom, the gloves remained completely intact, which pleased Ling Chi. From now on, whenever she collects anything, she will definitely put on her gloves first to avoid touching random things and injuring her hands.

And so, ten years passed, and Ling Chi and Shuang'er returned from the Middle East and entered the Great Grassland.

Chapter Thirteen: The First Purple Character

The vast grasslands, the territory of Mongolia.

Three years ago, Temujin unified Mongolia and was given the title Genghis Khan.

For the past three years, Genghis Khan has been waging war on all fronts.

To the west, the Mongols conquered almost all the kingdoms of the Western Regions and plundered a large population, but their eastward campaigns ran into the impregnable defenses of the Jin Dynasty, resulting in significant losses.

The Jin dynasty was originally a nomadic people, but after its founding, it began to learn from Han Chinese culture and gradually developed an agrarian tendency. Even so, the Jin dynasty's cavalry warfare prowess was not something the Mongols could easily overcome in a short time.

Despite hitting a wall in the east, Genghis Khan was not discouraged. He began to consolidate his gains in the western regions and strengthen the country. When Mongolia became even stronger, he would launch another war against the Jin Dynasty.

However, Mongolia was originally a tribal society, and even after being forcibly unified, many tribal leaders were unwilling to be subordinate and tried to find an opportunity to kill Genghis Khan.

Ling Chi and Shuang'er traveled from the Middle East into the Western Regions, witnessing countless acts of arson, murder, and looting along the way. It wasn't until they entered the vast grasslands that they experienced the peaceful life there and the warmth of the herders.

"So you're a friend from the Song Dynasty. Come, let's drink this cup of mare's milk wine to celebrate the friendship between Mongolia and the Song Dynasty."

"..."

The current situation is quite ironic. Before the Mongols invaded the Song Dynasty, the relationship between the two countries was actually quite good, and they even joined forces to destroy the Jin Dynasty decades later. It was only after the war broke out that the friendship between the two countries became worthless.

While spending the night in a yurt, Shuang'er nestled in Ling Chi's arms and asked, "Brother, what should we do?"

Ling Chi stroked her hair and said, "A snake can't function without a head, so just cut off its head."

Shuang'er's eyes lit up, and she asked, "When do we make our move?"

"No rush." ​​Ling Chi smiled slightly. "Just do it as you go."
