Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Given this, is there any need to plot against the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?

Looking at Ling Chi's sunny smile and feeling the warmth and friendliness emanating from everyone in the martial arts world, Yue Buqun was caught in a mental struggle, unable to determine a winner for a long time.

On the Hengshan Sect's side, Yilin, hidden among her senior sisters, gazed at Ling Chi with shimmering eyes.

At this moment, Ling Chi's smile was radiant, like the afternoon sun, making her want nothing more than to lie among the wildflowers and have a nice nap.

"Senior Brother Ling..."

Her appearance was observed by Abbess Dingyi, who couldn't help but have ulterior motives.

……

Under Ling Chi's strong intervention, Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony was eventually completed later.

From then on, Liu Zhengfeng withdrew from the martial arts world and promised to take his family far away and live in seclusion overseas, never setting foot on an inch of the Central Plains again until the end of his life.

Everyone accepted this ending, but Ling Chi's terrifying deeds of killing the Songshan and Qingcheng sects in a fit of rage at the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony would soon spread throughout the martial arts world, making him a force to be reckoned with.

At the same time, in addition to the 'Lightning Sword', Ling Chi gained another title in the martial arts world—White Impermanence.

Legend has it that Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence) is always smiling, tall and thin, with a pale face and a long tongue sticking out. His official hat has the words "One glimpse brings wealth" written on it.

Although Ling Chi didn't utter a long tongue, his face was indeed quite pale, making him look nothing like a martial artist; rather, he resembled a young master from a wealthy family.

Although the official hat did not have the words "instant wealth" on it, Ling Chi's potstickers and pancakes cost five taels of silver... Oh no, that was only half price during the promotion; normally it would cost ten taels of silver. Isn't that enough to "instant wealth"?

Although this wealth is only for himself.

Putting those two points aside, Ling Chi was indeed often smiling and had a tall and slender figure.

It's fine during the day, but if you wear this out at night, people will mistake you for the White Ghost and scare them half to death.

Moreover, Ling Chi's ruthlessness and decisiveness in slaughtering two major sects and dozens of masters at the Golden Basin Washing Hands Ceremony were no different from the soul-capturing White Impermanence.

Gradually, fewer and fewer people in the martial arts world called him Lingchi Lightning Sword, while more and more people called him White Impermanence.

……

"May the immortal board be used to punish the White Impermanence!"

When Ling Chi learned of the rumors circulating in the martial arts world, his face turned green.

He has explained countless times that the tall hat is a chef's hat, not the official hat of the White Impermanence.

As for white clothes? If the chef doesn't wear white, does he wear black?

Wait, if I wear black, won't I be called Black Impermanence again?

"..."

Ling Chi became withdrawn.

This is later.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Look at this noodle, it's both long and wide.

More than ten days later, Ling Chi and his group returned to the Huashan Sect.

On the day he returned to the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun put Ling Chi in solitary confinement.

"Ling Chi has wantonly slaughtered fellow practitioners from the Songshan and Qingcheng sects. Although there were reasons for his actions, he must be punished. Starting today, Ling Chi will face the wall in meditation at the Cliff of Repentance for one year. If he violates the rules and descends the mountain during his meditation period, he will be expelled from the Huashan sect."

Faced with Yue Buqun's announced punishment plan, Ling Chi gladly accepted the punishment. However, he made one request: to bring pots, pans, and other cooking utensils to the Cliff of Repentance. This way, even while he was in solitary confinement, it wouldn't interfere with the sect's three meals a day. As for who would be responsible for collecting and delivering the meals, the fellow disciples could take turns.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's lips twitched, but he still agreed to his request.

It's all because Ling Chi's cooking is so delicious! If I don't eat it for a day, my mouth will feel so bland.

In reality, what was called punishment was merely a protective measure by Yue Buqun, since he had killed members of the most powerful Songshan Sect among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, including several of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan Sect, whose martial arts skills were no weaker than those of ordinary sect leaders.

Having killed so many members of the Songshan Sect, how could Zuo Lengchan possibly let it go?

On the one hand, Yue Buqun planned to personally go to the Songshan Sect to apologize, and on the other hand, he wanted to send Ling Chi to face the wall for a year, hoping to use this opportunity to quell the storm.

Even if it can't be quelled, it doesn't matter. With Ling Chi's martial arts progressing at such a rapid pace, he will only become stronger in a year. At that time, even if Zuo Lengchan leads all the disciples of Songshan to seek revenge, what will Huashan Sect have to fear?

This decision was made by Yue Buqun and Ling Chi after discussing it in Hengshan City, but the idea of ​​Ling Chi facing the wall for a year on the Cliff of Contemplation was proposed by Ling Chi himself.

The purpose is self-evident.

The Cliff of Contemplation is where the biggest boss of the Huashan Sect is hidden. If Ling Chi doesn't get a recipe from him, he won't feel at ease.

And so, on the very day Ling Chi returned to the Huashan Sect, he packed his bags and headed to the Cliff of Contemplation.

Ok……

Ok?

It seems like I've forgotten something...

Oh, right, the Qingcheng Sect!

In Yue Buqun's plan, the Qingcheng Sect was not even mentioned.

Yu Canghai has been killed, and it's uncertain whether the Qingcheng Sect will even exist in the martial arts world anymore, so what's there to worry about?

Weakness is the original sin.

This is the principle for dominating the world.

……

At noon, it was cloudy.

"This is the Cliff of Repentance!" Shuang'er frowned as she looked at the only simple cave that could shelter her from the wind and rain. "It's too dirty."

She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Brother, wait a moment, let me clean up first."

"How can we let Shuang'er clean up by herself?" Yue Lingshan quickly said, "I'll help too."

"Then we'll help build the stove." Linghu Chong chuckled and gave the order. His fellow disciples put down the bricks, mud, and large iron pot they had brought, fetched two buckets of spring water, and began mixing mud to build the stove.

The stove was built inside the cave.

It's the rainy season. If we put the stove outside the cave, how will we cook when it rains?

"Someone come with me to chop wood," Six Monkeys called out, holding a wood-chopping knife. "Who's going?"

“I’ll go!” Liang Fa replied.

"I knew it was Third Senior Brother." Six Monkeys chuckled. "Among the brothers, Third Senior Brother is the most honest."

"Hehe." Liang Fa scratched his head, grabbed another wood-chopping knife, and went to chop wood with Liu Hou'er.

……

As the saying goes, "Many hands make light work"; and another saying goes, "Men and women working together makes the work easier." After working for about an hour, the cave had been cleaned and the stove had been set up. Ling Chi was adding firewood to the stove, boiling water, and speeding up the drying of the stove.

"Finally finished." Linghu Chong stretched and said, "Junior Brother, hurry up and cook! Otherwise it will be dark by the time we get back."

The distance from Siguo Cliff to the main gate of Mount Hua is not long, but because the mountain path is steep and difficult to traverse, a round trip takes at least an hour. It was almost 3 PM, which was indeed quite late.

"Okay." Ling Chi nodded and said, "Shuang'er, help me prepare the ingredients."

"Okay." Shuang'er washed herself with spring water and began to prepare ingredients such as cucumbers, bean sprouts, carrots, and cilantro.

Ling Chi poured half a basin of flour, added water, and kneaded the dough.

The portion for fourteen people wasn't large, but with a half-hour delay on the mountain path, Ling Chi had to consider the potential changes in taste due to the time difference. After careful consideration, he decided to make noodles with a thick sauce.

The recipe for braised noodles was discovered during this trip to Hengshan. It's quite interesting. If you just make it normally, it's just an ordinary white recipe. But if you add a certain step during the process, it will be upgraded to an advanced white recipe.

This was the first time Ling Chi had encountered such a strange recipe. However, the added step was rather bizarre, requiring him to sing a song while making the noodles, and he absolutely could not stop, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted.

The lyrics are very simple, only two lines: "Look at this noodle, it's long and wide; look at this bowl, it's big and round..."

……

Ling Chi tried a few times. He had no problem when he was alone, but he would definitely fail as long as there were other people around.

Because whenever he sings, people around him will inevitably ask out of curiosity, "What song are you singing?"

If he ignores it, it will definitely annoy the person who spoke to him.

He ignores unrelated people, but those who talk to him are all close friends and family, such as his senior brothers, Yue Lingshan, Ning Zhongze, and Yue Buqun...

How could he dare not reply?

With his senior brothers and sisters all around, he had no desire to sing. In any case, there weren't many people on Mount Hua who could provide him with experience points, and even if he did improve, it would only be by 0.01, so it wouldn't matter if he did it less often.

After working for more than an hour, the braised noodles for fourteen people were ready.

"Ding, braised noodles, 100% complete, perfect."

Pretty.

My brother is indeed a genius.

Who wants some? Call Daddy!

……

As evening approached, after watching everyone leave, Ling Chi went into the cave and started fiddling with the longevity fish.

Longevity Fish is a famous dish made from Yellow River carp, which is renowned for its tender and delicious meat.

Longevity fish is made by cooking Yellow River carp with wolfberries. It has a perfect balance of salty, sweet, and sour flavors, a bright red color, and is highly valued for its medicinal properties. Legend has it that the origin of longevity fish is related to Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

One spring, Liu Xiu visited Mangshan Mountain, located on the banks of the Yellow River. The mountain was verdant, the water clear, and the scenery breathtaking. As Liu Xiu was admiring the view, a golden carp suddenly leaped out of the water. The fish was entirely red, strikingly bright in the sunlight. After eating a dish made from this carp called "Longevity Fish," Liu Xiu felt invigorated, and his fatigue vanished instantly.

Later, the method of making longevity fish gradually spread among the people and became a famous dish in Luoyang.

The ingredients used in Lingchi's Longevity Fish dish are naturally more complex and precious than those used in traditional recipes. While the key ingredient in traditional Longevity Fish is goji berries, the key ingredient in Lingchi's recipe is a century-old ginseng…

When Ling Chi first received the recipe, he was overjoyed, but his heart sank after seeing the ingredients.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Maritime Merchants

Even during the Ming Dynasty, century-old ginseng was extremely rare, mostly reserved for imperial tribute, and very difficult to find on the market. Unless you ventured into Changbai Mountain to search for it yourself, you'd still have to rely on luck.

However, grateful for the trip to Hengshan, after Liu Zhengfeng retired from his life of crime, he hosted a private banquet for him and solemnly stated: "I do not wish to take the life-saving grace that Young Master Ling has shown to my family overseas. In any case, I ask Young Master Ling to give me a chance to repay your kindness."

This was like a godsend; Ling Chi was just worried about not having a way to purchase century-old ginseng, and Liu Zhengfeng delivered it right to his doorstep.
