Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Qu Feiyan rubbed her wrist: "So collecting money is this tiring too. Brother Ling, aren't you tired doing this every day?"

While making pancakes, Ling Chi laughed and said, "Why be tired when there's money to be made? Besides, it's only for one day. Once things are done here, we'll go back to Mount Hua. At that time, I'll just help my master, mistress, senior brothers, and senior sisters with cooking. It won't be tiring."

"That's alright. If it were like today every day, I couldn't stand it." As she spoke, Qu Feiyan picked up a guokui (a type of flatbread) and started taking a bite: "Mmm... Guokui is still the best."

Qu Feiyan ascended to immortality...

Just as Ling Chi was jokingly scolding the glutton, a continuous series of ringing sounds suddenly came from his mind.

Chapter Twenty: Lifespan Bonus

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the high-class white diner Ding Mian. Conquest count +0.01. High-class white recipe dropped - Wooden Bucket Rice."

"Wooden Bucket Rice: Advanced White Recipe, Strength +0.3, Constitution +0.2, Cooldown Time 10 days."

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Fei Bin, a high-class white-class diner. Conquest count +0.01. High-class white-class recipe dropped - Longevity Fish."

"Longevity Fish: Premium White Recipe, Lifespan +0.1, Cooldown Time 10 Days".

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the high-class white diner, Stendhal. Conquest count +0.01. High-class white recipe dropped - Amber Winter Melon."

"Amber Winter Melon: Advanced White Recipe, True Qi +0.5, Cooldown Time 10 Days."

"Ding! Conquered the ordinary white-clad diners..."

……

Ling Chi hadn't paid much attention to the tinkling sounds at first, but after hearing them so many times over the past two days, she had gotten used to them.

But when he subconsciously heard 'lifespan +0.1', he paused for a moment.

What?

What did you say?

life?

Can lifespan be increased?

Ling Chi hurriedly focused his consciousness on the system page, suppressing his anxiety and anticipation, and searched for the recipe that would increase lifespan on the page that was flooding the screen.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and he finally found it among the vast array of recipes.

Fei Bin, a long-lived fish, lifespan +0.1...

Lingchi was so excited that the ground felt like a heavy date.

Lifespan! The recipe for increasing lifespan has finally appeared!

Although he was only twenty years old and didn't need to worry about his lifespan for a while, every now and then he would check his attribute panel and see that while other attributes were increasing, his lifespan was slowly decreasing.

It's impossible not to feel anxious or afraid, but the system had never mentioned anything related to lifespan, nor had it ever revealed any recipes to extend lifespan. He thought it was impossible for a recipe to extend lifespan to appear, but now...

A lifespan of 0.1 is not much, but according to the way attribute values ​​are calculated, 1 point of lifespan is one year, and 0.1 lifespan is 1.2 months, which is equivalent to 36.5 days, while the cooldown time of a recipe is only 10 days.

In other words, he can increase his lifespan by 26.5 days per month, which is 265 days per year.

From then on, his lifespan would no longer decrease, but would continue to increase at a rate of 265 days per year...

Lingchi was so excited he was trembling all over. "Brother, this is the path to becoming an immortal!"

"Brother Ling, what's wrong?" Seeing that something was wrong with him, Qu Feiyan came over and placed her small hand on his forehead: "Your face is so red, have you caught a cold?"

Ling Chi snapped out of his daze, looked at the little girl in front of him who was concerned about him, laughed, and ruffled her hair with his big hand: "Big brother is fine, he's just blushing with joy because he was thinking about how he earned Fei Yan's future dowry today."

"What are you saying!" Qu Feiyan's face flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "Who wants your dowry?"

"Whether you want it or not is your business, whether I give it to you or not is mine, hahaha!" Ling Chi happily hummed a song: "We ordinary people! We're really happy today..."

Seeing Ling Chi so happy about her matter, Qu Feiyan rolled her eyes, but her gaze towards him softened.

Yue Lingshan, standing to the side, wasn't jealous or resentful. Hearing the words "dowry," she knew Ling Chi's feelings for Qu Feiyan were merely brotherly affection. Since he wasn't a rival, there was nothing to worry about.

Yue Lingshan smiled: Now no one can compete with me for my junior brother.

Clearly, she forgot about a young nun who was prettier and had a hotter figure than her.

Soon after, although there were still a few people in line, Ling Chi had run out of the materials he had prepared.

"I'm sorry, we're all sold out of guokui and jianbing. May our friendship endure, and may we meet again someday." Ling Chi began by clasping his hands in a traditional Chinese greeting, bidding farewell to the diners.

Everyone knows that Lingchi is only selling for this last day, and it may continue to sell in the future, but no one knows when or where.

The thought that they would not be able to eat Lingchi's guokui and jianbing for a long time to come, or even for a lifetime, brought tears of sadness to the eyes of many diners.

Why? Why? Why are guokui (a type of flatbread) and jianbing (a type of Chinese pancake) so delicious? What will I do if I can't eat them anymore?!

"Take care, Young Master Ling." Everyone present said goodbye to Ling Chi with tears in their eyes, as if it were a funeral.

While dealing with these sentimental diners, Ling Chi packed up his stall, preparing to go to Liu's residence to attend the "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony.

He wasn't interested in Liu Zhengfeng retiring from public life, but the Songshan Sect had long been prepared to get rid of him. Once something happened to Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang would definitely stand up for his good buddy.

It doesn't matter that the two old men are dead, but Qu Feiyan is still so young, yet she has to watch her grandfather be killed, leaving her all alone for decades to come. Ling Chi couldn't bear to face this cruel world.

It was one thing to lack the ability before, but now that we have the ability, what's wrong with helping out appropriately?

Holding Qu Feiyan's small hand, Ling Chi said, "Stay close to me."

Qu Feiyan blinked and gripped his hand tightly.

……

"We are disciples of the Huashan Sect."

It's good to be a disciple of a prestigious sect; you can solve a lot of troubles just by relying on the sect's reputation.

When the guards at the Liu residence learned that the visitors were disciples of the Huashan Sect, they welcomed them in with great enthusiasm and without the slightest suspicion.

Of course, this also had to do with Ling Chi himself. He had been selling snacks across from the Liu residence for two days, so it would be strange if the gatekeeper didn't recognize him.

Having successfully entered the Liu residence, the three quickly located the Huashan Sect members. At this time, Yue Buqun was chatting and laughing with Liu Zhengfeng and other martial arts masters. Ling Chi did not disturb them and mingled with his master's wife and fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother, you've finally arrived." Upon seeing Ling Chi, the senior brothers immediately surrounded him. Liu Hou'er rubbed his hands together with a lewd grin: "Do you still have guokui and jianbing?"

"Sixth Senior Brother, haven't you all already eaten? Why are you still surrounding Junior Brother asking for more food!" Yue Lingshan immediately stepped forward to help Ling Chi out of the predicament.

"Oh my! Look at her, she's not even married yet and she's already speaking up for her future husband," Liu Hou'er teased sourly.

He wasn't jealous for himself, but rather felt indignant on behalf of Linghu Chong.

All of Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's fellow disciples witnessed their relationship and believed they would end up together. However, things changed after Yue Lingshan ate Ling Chi's cooking at the foot of the mountain a year ago.

At first, things were fine. After all, Ling Chi wasn't a disciple of Mount Hua; he was just a small tavern owner at the foot of the mountain, of humble origin. Yue Lingshan couldn't possibly come down the mountain every day to eat and drink for free, and given her girlish reserve and her superior social standing, no one thought the two would end up together.

But everything changed two months ago when Ling Chi joined the sect.

During the first month, Yue Lingshan spent almost every day with Ling Chi, and even when Ling Chi went to the kitchen to cook, she would help out.

A month later, at Yue Lingshan's insistence, Ling Chi was dragged along to Fuzhou for a mission. Their constant interaction was observed by Lao Denuo. Since their encounter in Hengshan City a few days prior, everyone knew Yue Lingshan's intentions.

Although Ling Chi didn't seem to say anything, once a woman's heart has changed, it's hard for a man to win her back no matter how hard he tries.

Ling Chi remained their good junior brother, but whenever he thought of their senior brother, he felt uneasy.

They weren't unreasonable people, and they wouldn't blame their innocent junior brother; they simply began targeting Yue Lingshan without her even realizing it.

In this feudal society, promiscuous women were despised, and even though Yue Lingshan was the daughter of their master and mistress, she was still looked down upon.

Does Yue Lingshan know?

Perhaps she knew, perhaps she didn't. But she didn't care. Her feelings for Linghu Chong were originally those of a brother and sister. Perhaps before it was just a naive and ignorant crush, but since meeting Ling Chi, she finally understood the difference between love and family affection.

She liked Linghu Chong, but only out of a younger sister's affection for her older brother. But the man she loved was Ling Chi, the one she wanted to spend her life with.

She has no regrets.

So when faced with Liu Hou'er's teasing, Yue Lingshan blushed, glanced at Ling Chi with amorous eyes, and said with a girlish longing and sweetness, "No, I didn't."

Six Monkeys: "..."

Chapter Twenty-One: Eradicate Evil Completely

"Ding Lao Er, it was your Songshan Sect that killed my disciple first!"

Seeing Liu Zhengfeng angrily rebuke Ding Mian, and Ding Mian's defiant response: "Yes, we attacked first, but so what?"

Ling Chi knew that the Songshan Sect had already abandoned all pretense and was determined to destroy Liu Zhengfeng's family.

The "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony was ultimately recreated according to the original plot. Liu Zhengfeng's acceptance of the imperial amnesty was despised by everyone in the martial arts world, but the Songshan Sect's domineering and aggressive attitude in forbidding Liu Zhengfeng from washing his hands of the martial arts world was even more disgusting.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng used Fei Bin's acupoints to threaten him and negotiate with the Songshan Sect, hoping to take his family far away and live in seclusion overseas, never to set foot on an inch of the Central Plains again.

Ding Mian was somewhat tempted, feeling that this was not unacceptable, but Lu Bai believed that Liu Zhengfeng had captured Fei Bin and was using this to coerce the Songshan Sect into compromising. If the matter got out, it would only cause the Songshan Sect to lose face.

Master Dingyi stepped forward at the opportune moment to persuade him, saying, "Brother Liu is pleading with the Songshan Sect, not threatening or coercing them. If anyone should 'bow down and admit defeat,' it is Liu Zhengfeng who should bow down and admit defeat, not the Songshan Sect. Besides, you have already killed a disciple of the Liu family."

Lu Bai, who had already made up his mind, wouldn't listen to her advice and snorted coldly: "Di Xiu, get ready."

Then Di Xiu, a disciple of the Songshan Sect, replied, "Yes!"

He then gently thrust the short sword in his hand into the muscle of Liu Zhengfeng's eldest son's back.

Lu Bai said, "Liu Zhengfeng, if you want to plead for mercy, then come with us to Mount Song to see the Left Alliance Leader and plead with him in person. We are just following orders and cannot make decisions on our own. You must immediately return the command flag and release my junior brother Fei."

"Despicable!" Qu Feiyan exclaimed angrily, "This Songshan Sect, despite being a reputable and righteous sect, acts in ways no different from those of evil demons and heretics!?"

Ling Chi's eyes were gloomy. What was happening before his eyes made him even angrier than when he read the novel.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly and said to his son, "Son, are you afraid of death?"

Young Master Liu, with an upright demeanor, said, "I will listen to my father, I am not afraid!"

Liu Zhengfeng was very pleased: "Good boy!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Bai shouted without hesitation, "Kill them!"

Di Xiu thrust his short sword forward, piercing Liu Gongzi's back and into his heart, before pulling it out. Liu Gongzi collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from the wound in his back.

"Ah!?" The more than a thousand martial arts practitioners present exclaimed in unison, unable to believe that the Songshan Sect was so domineering, killing a perfectly healthy person without hesitation.

Madam Liu screamed and threw herself at her son's body, weeping bitterly.

Lu Bai shouted again, "Kill them!"
