Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

This roast suckling pig was originally just a top-tier white recipe, but now it's become a top-tier blue recipe.

Sigh! Extravagant.

……

Ling Chi hasn't wasted two years; both the blue and purple recipes are now 100% complete. The problem is, he doesn't have enough purple ingredients. Aside from the Chef's Space, he can't create any purple recipes.

Now that Shan Wanjing has taken control of the Dongming Sect, Ling Chi is also thinking about finding some ingredients.

Just as he was about to take action, Wang Chongyang and his group brought him good news.

The characters in "The Secret of Longevity" have been deciphered.

In the Chef's Space, at the ranch, Wang Chongyang, Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, Li Canghai, Huang Yaoshi, and the Seven Heroes of Wudang are studying the martial arts of the Longevity Manual according to the deciphered characters.

"How is it?" Ling Chi leaned closer. "What does it say on it?"

Wu Xingyun pushed away Ling Chi's face, looking disgusted: "Stay away from me."

"Don't be so formal!" Ling Chi chuckled. "Since we're just killing time anyway, how about we make some little dolls to play with?"

Wu Xingyun kicked him away: "Die!"

"I will definitely come back~~~~~~" Ling Chi turned into a shooting star in the sky.

"..."

……

May it last forever.

The reason why heaven and earth can endure and last long is that they do not live for themselves, therefore they can live long.

Therefore, the sage puts himself last and yet comes first; he puts himself outside and yet survives.

Is it not because of his selflessness that he was able to achieve his own ends?

Wang Chongyang said, "From this perspective, the 'Longevity Manual' is clearly derived from the 'Tao Te Ching,' and can be considered the general outline of the 'Longevity Manual,' but the details are extremely complex."

“Brother Wang is right.” Wu Yazi nodded: “Theoretically speaking, the Longevity Manual has nothing to do with martial arts, but it is a secret technique that integrates the profound principles of heaven and earth. Its concept is that the human body is a microcosm. The outside of the body is another microcosm. So as long as you grasp the natural principles of these two microcosms, the inner and outer microcosms will merge into one, and only when they are integrated can the unity of heaven and man be achieved. The Longevity Manual is the pinnacle secret technique of this concept of the unity of heaven and man.”

At this point, Wu Yazi glanced at Ling Chi.

Wu Xingyun sneered, "It's similar to the cultivation technique that someone else practices."

"..." Seeing everyone looking at him, Ling Chi pointed at himself: "Me?"

Wang Chongyang chuckled and said, "It is similar to the Tai Chi Divine Skill, only with some differences in details and cultivation methods. But the great way is simple, and different paths lead to the same goal."

Hearing Wang Chongyang say this, Ling Chi stroked his chin: "So, the Longevity Manual is of no use to me?"

“Indeed.” Wang Chongyang nodded. “Moreover, the Longevity Manual can only be practiced by people who do not know martial arts, and it must be practiced in a state of unintentional will. This is extremely difficult. People without great fortune simply cannot practice it.”

"Hmm..." Ling Chi thought of those two hooligans in Yangzhou City. In the original story, weren't they the two people with great fortune who succeeded in their cultivation? As for the unlucky Shi Long, he had been researching for several years but had no clue whatsoever. That's just fate!

Ling Chi said, "Since this Longevity Technique is useless..."

“No, it’s useful,” Wang Chongyang said. “This ‘Longevity Manual’ provides me with seven paths of cultivation, each of which is a broad and promising road. I would like to try to improve it.”

"Great minds think alike." Wu Yazi laughed heartily, "I have the same idea."

The two looked at each other and chuckled.

“…” Ling Chi scratched his head: “Whatever you want! Just remember to teach me when the time comes.”

Having a farm is great, having a ranch is great, being able to recruit two hundred people is even better. When he encounters difficulties, there are plenty of people to help him solve them, and he can just lie down and enjoy himself.

Wang Chongyang nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Ling's Tai Chi Divine Skill is similar in principle to the Longevity Technique. If a new technique is created, it will be more suitable for Brother Ling to cultivate."

"Haha, who told me I was so lucky to have mastered the Tai Chi divine skill!" Ling Chi said with great pride.

Back then, Zhang Sanfeng taught him the Tai Chi True Scripture, and the mental method was the Tai Chi Heart Scripture. However, like Tai Chi Chuan, the Tai Chi Heart Scripture was easy to learn but difficult to master. It took him many years to reach the first level, and then hundreds of years of effort to reach the second level. But after he integrated the Beiming Divine Art and mastered the Tai Chi Divine Art, his progress improved dramatically. Although it took him several decades, he only reached the third level.

But the more difficult a skill is to improve, the higher its level. Moreover, with his current level three Tai Chi Divine Skill, he is more than capable of dominating the world. What more could he ask for?

This made others very envious, especially Wu Xingyun. When she was recruited and learned that her body had been locked and would not change, she had the idea of ​​dispersing her cultivation and starting over.

For no other reason than that the power of Tai Chi is too formidable and its effects too tempting.

Chapter Fourteen: The Return of the Adventure

The improvement of the "Longevity Manual" was handed over to Wang Chongyang and his team. Ling Chi, the hands-off manager, discussed with Shuang'er and Huang Rong about going out to find ingredients in the living room.

"Should we stop the business on Peach Blossom Island?" Shuang'er asked.

"What do you mean?" Ling Chi asked, looking at her and Huang Rong.

"I'm fine," Shuang'er said. "After all, I'm just a kitchen helper; I can't take on any major responsibilities."

"As for me..." Huang Rong stretched and said, "Let's stop! I've been cooking for ten years, I want to take a break."

“Then let’s stop here.” Ling Chi smiled slightly. “This time I’ll take you outside for a stroll and find some purple ingredients.”

"Great!" Huang Rong smiled brightly. "It's been over ten years since I've gone out to play. Where should we go this time?"

"According to the system's instructions, the nearest purple ingredient is in West Lake, Hangzhou, and it's a thousand-year-old bluefish spirit," Ling Chi said, looking at the system's notification panel.

"Ah!?" The two women were very surprised: "A blue carp spirit? Does it possess sorcery?"

"There's no such thing as sorcery," Ling Chi laughed. "The so-called 'spirit' is just that its intelligence exceeds that of a blue fish, its size is enormous, and it possesses some special abilities. If I had to compare, it's similar to a giant rascal and a golden-eyed monkey!"

"Isn't that very dangerous?!" Shuang'er and Huang Rong asked with some concern.

“After all, it’s a purple ingredient, how could it not be dangerous?” Ling Chi smiled slightly. “However, it’s just ordinary purple, while we are already high-grade purple, so we have an advantage.”

"I'm a good swimmer, I'll go into the water and catch fish," Huang Rong volunteered.

Among the blue recipes, there is one dish that allows the person who eats it to breathe through their skin underwater. There are also several other dishes that can enhance swimming ability. Huang Rong ate a lot of the recipes related to swimming ability, and in terms of swimming ability alone, no one can compare to her.

"Then it's up to you," Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Leave it to me." Huang Rong chuckled, then turned to Shuang'er and said, "Sister Shuang'er, you..."

"I won't go." Shuang'er shook her head.

"Huh?" Huang Rong was taken aback. "Why?"

"I've already traveled to some places more than a decade ago, and now I just want to stay on Peach Blossom Island," Shuang'er said with a smile. "Besides, Peach Blossom Island has made too much money over the years. If we all leave, how will the maids defend against external enemies?"

"Hmm..." Huang Rong frowned slightly. This was indeed a difficult problem. Over the past ten years, Peach Blossom Island had made too much money, attracting the covetous eyes of too many forces and offending too many others. If it weren't for the three of them guarding it, Peach Blossom Island would have been finished long ago. Even if Peach Blossom Island's business had to be suspended, those forces would not give up their covetousness. Ultimately, having a master guarding it was necessary to prevent them from coming.

"Don't think about it." Shuang'er smiled and said, "I like life on Peach Blossom Island. It's peaceful and tranquil, without the hustle and bustle of the outside world. In the past, my brother often went out and left me to look after the house. Let's do the same this time!"

Huang Rong blinked, then suddenly hugged Shuang'er, rubbing her cheek against Shuang'er's: "Ahhh! Sister Shuang'er is so virtuous. If I were a man, I would cherish you too."

Shuang'er: "..."

……

With the matter settled, Ling Chi activated the island-protecting formation he had set up in previous years, completely concealing Peach Blossom Island in the sea fog.

After the wealthy people who frequently dined at Peach Blossom Island discovered that the island had suddenly disappeared, for a long time to come, everyone from the imperial court to gangs was discussing and speculating about it.

They had two questions: First, why did Peach Blossom Island disappear? Second, what happened to Ling Chi and the others?

The most anxious of them all was Shan Wanjing, because Ling Chi sealed off the island so suddenly that he didn't even tell her before taking Huang Rong out, which made it impossible for Shan Wanjing to contact him.

She had been studying under Ling Chi for two years and had never left Peach Blossom Island during that time. She had developed deep feelings for both Ling Chi and Peach Blossom Island. But now, Peach Blossom Island had disappeared and she had lost contact with Ling Chi. Dan Wanjing was so anxious and worried that she couldn't eat or sleep. If she hadn't just suppressed the ambitious members of the Dongming Sect and was temporarily unable to leave, she would definitely have put everything aside to search for Ling Chi's whereabouts.

"Master, please don't let anything happen to you!"

……

Hangzhou, West Lake, Broken Bridge.

Ling Chi and Huang Rong stood on the Broken Bridge, gazing at the scenery of West Lake, and were filled with emotion: This is the place where Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian reunited!

"What a heavy rain." Huang Rong gathered her wet hair and laughed, "This kind of weather is perfect for catching demons."

"Is it alright?" Ling Chi asked with a smile. "Want to come down with me?"

"No need," Huang Rong said. "I can catch that blue carp demon by myself. Brother Ling, just wait for my good news."

"Don't push yourself," Ling Chi cautioned. "If it gets too difficult, just tell me, and we'll deal with it together."

"Mmm." Huang Rong smiled and jumped into the water.

Ling Chi stood on the Broken Bridge, observing the surface of West Lake. About fifteen minutes later, a huge wave appeared on the lake surface several hundred meters southeast of the Broken Bridge. A huge tail flashed across the lake surface, causing the lake to erupt in chaos.

Ling Chi's eyes lit up: "What a huge fish!"

Although it was just a fish tail, Ling Chi felt as if he were looking at a whale; its size was truly enormous. But how did this giant bluefish grow to such a size in a place like West Lake?

Food alone is certainly not enough, so there is only one other possibility: this blue carp spirit has the ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon or spiritual energy, which has supported its growth to such a huge extent.

For some time afterward, the large bluefish continued to disturb the calm surface of West Lake, but it was not showing off its power that caused such a huge disturbance; rather, it was fleeing for its life with a hint of fear.

Yes, it was a matter of escaping for one's life.

It was originally an ordinary bluefish in West Lake, but at some point, it suddenly awakened its intelligence and gained the ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon. Over time, it became a fish demon in West Lake.

Although it had become a monster, it dared not come out to harm people, because there were very powerful human experts in this world. Its sixth sense told it not to be reckless, or it would be stewed in one pot.

It was precisely because of this cautious nature that it lived for a thousand years, right up to the present day. And according to its own intuition, if it persisted for another two or three hundred years, it would have a chance to break through the barrier of time and space and ascend to immortality.

Towards this day, it lived even more cautiously, striving to transcend demonhood and ascend to immortality. But misfortune struck unexpectedly. Today, it was soundly asleep at the bottom of West Lake when a tiny human appeared. This human was so small, barely enough for one bite. Initially, it didn't want to acknowledge it, but then the human swam towards it, swimming incredibly fast, almost as fast as it.

And she was holding a knife.

What are they trying to do?

It wasn't until the human slashed it that it let out a scream and opened its mouth to bite the human to death.

In its mind, whoever was bigger was stronger. It was at least dozens of times bigger than this human, so killing the human would be a piece of cake. But it was wrong. After being stabbed twice more, it realized that it was actually no match for this human.

What kind of monster is this that's trying to mess with me?

The blue carp spirit cursed and began to flee for its life, but the human relentlessly pursued it. If it weren't for its excellent swimming skills, which allowed it to suddenly drift and accelerate whenever the human was about to catch up, it would probably have already become a victim of the human's blade.

Even so, it still couldn't get rid of this human. It realized that it seemed it couldn't swim as far as this human.

Heavens above! Am I, a thousand-year-old bluefish spirit, destined to be scaled and gutted by a mere human, and then braised, steamed, sweet and sour, cooked in tomato sauce, pan-fried...?

The bluefish spirit was in tears: This is too much for me!

The poor blue carp spirit ultimately couldn't escape its fate of being scaled and gutted by humans. As it once again leaped onto the water to escape, a golden dragon suddenly appeared in the sky, swooping down and striking it on the head. It felt a sudden, dull thud, and before it could even utter a cry of "Oh my god!", it lost consciousness forever.
