Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

The Five Elements magic is based on the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the Yin-Yang magic system.

"Hahaha, I have finally transcended the realm of martial arts and entered the realm of magic!" Wang Chongyang was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, showing off the seven magical arts he had comprehended to Ling Chi like a child.

First came the metal-based magic. Wu Yazi struck Wang Chongyang with his sword, immediately producing the sound of metal clashing. This happened several times in succession. Wang Chongyang was unharmed, while Wu Yazi's sword developed several nicks.

Ling Chi was full of praise, but Wu Yazi was only using an ordinary longsword. Ling Chi felt that this was not exciting enough, so he drew a kitchen knife from his waist: "Master Wang, stand still, I'll try it with a kitchen knife!"

"Die!" Wang Chongyang hurriedly shouted, "My mastery of metal-based magic is insufficient; it can only defend against ordinary swords and blades. Brother Ling's divine weapon, the kitchen knife, is powerless against it. Please, Brother Ling, put away the kitchen knife."

"Tsk." Ling Chi was a little annoyed: "What's the use of just blocking ordinary swords? When you encounter divine weapons, you'll only get slashed."

Wang Chongyang smiled wryly: "After all, my cultivation is still shallow. Once I reach the minor completion stage, I should be able to withstand it! If I reach the major completion stage, perhaps even the legendary magic weapons will be able to withstand it."

"Oh?" Ling Chi nodded and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let me see some other spells."

“Alright.” Wang Chongyang nodded and led him to the orchard. At the edge of the orchard, he cast a wood-type spell on an apple sapling. The sapling grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, then blossomed and bore fruit. When the apples ripened, Wang Chongyang stopped and said with a smile, “Brother Ling, have a taste.”

"Oh?" Ling Chi picked a red apple that was much larger than a regular apple and took a bite.

"Hmm?" Ling Chi was quite surprised as he savored the taste of this apple, feeling that it tasted much better than other apples, even reaching the level of high-end white ingredients.

"Great!" Ling Chi was very excited. If wood-based magic had this effect, wouldn't that mean that the quality of fruits, grains, and other ingredients would be improved in the future?

"This wood-based magic is powerful; Master Wang has done a great service."

Seeing Ling Chi's excitement, Wang Chongyang chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"..."

Next came water-based magic. Wang Chongyang condensed a water sphere in the void and threw it into the river. With a loud bang, the water within a ten-meter radius instantly exploded, blasting countless fish, shrimp, and crabs ashore, their bodies unable to remain intact. Afterward, Wang Chongyang directly manipulated the river water into various shapes, then propelled it dozens of meters into the air, where it exploded and rained down on the earth.

Ling Chi wiped the water off his face and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Wang Chongyang chuckled.

The subsequent fire spells were even more powerful. They condensed fire in the void and threw it directly into the freshly harvested wheat field, burning the remaining wheat stalks to ashes and fertilizing the soil in the process. Moreover, the range was precisely controlled, with no leakage whatsoever.

Ling Chi scratched his head: "There's nothing special about this!"

"Don't rush," Wang Chongyang said with a smile, "Let's see what I can do."

The next moment, the earth magic was activated, and the field that had just been burned began to shake violently, instantly transforming into a cultivated state. Then, the farm's skilled workers quickly sowed the seeds, and an acre of fertile land was planted.

Ling Chi: "..."

Is this how you use fire and earth spells? They are indeed very useful!

Ling Chi gave a thumbs up: "Master Wang is truly insightful. I admire him."

Wang Chongyang chuckled and said, "It's nothing, just applying what I've learned."

"..." You're getting all worked up over saying you're fat.

"Yin magic belongs to the dark power, and many of its methods are similar to curses." Speaking of Yin magic, Wang Chongyang pointed to a rabbit not far away and shot out an invisible yin energy. The lively rabbit suddenly collapsed to the ground, seemingly in a serious illness.

"Hiss~~~~" Ling Chi gasped, "What an insidious spell."

“There is no good or bad in magic, it all depends on who uses it,” Wang Chongyang said. “Moreover, Yin magic also has other wonderful uses, such as invisibility.” Wang Chongyang immediately disappeared from Ling Chi’s sight. If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Chongyang’s aura was still in place, Ling Chi would have thought that he had vanished.

“This magic…” Ling Chi’s eyes lit up. Sixth Brother, is that you?

"Not bad, right!" Wang Chongyang reappeared and chuckled, "The uses of magic are infinite. I have only just begun to understand it. I will pass it on to Brother Ling when I have gained more insights in the future."

"Alright, alright." Ling Chi nodded repeatedly and asked, "Master Wang, what about Yang-type spells?"

"Yang-based magic..." Wang Chongyang released a ray of yang energy at the sick rabbit, and the rabbit suddenly recovered from its illness and ran away lively and energetically.

Ling Chi blinked: "Healing spell!?"

"Oh?" Wang Chongyang chuckled. "I haven't named this spell yet. Healing spell? Hmm, from now on, I'll call this spell the Healing Spell!"

"..." Ling Chi hurriedly asked, "Master Wang, are there any other uses for this Yang-type magic?"

“Of course,” Wang Chongyang said. “Besides curing illnesses, it can also detoxify, exorcise evil spirits, and even stimulate human potential, greatly enhancing combat power in a short period of time.”

After a pause, Wang Chongyang's body emitted a faint light, and he chuckled, "I can even pretend to be an immortal."

“…” Ling Chi gave a thumbs up: “Master Wang is amazing.”

This Yang-type spell is simply a great tool for showing off! In an online game, it would definitely make you a top-tier healer.

"Master Wang, please teach me these seven elements of magic!" I can't wait any longer.

Wang Chongyang nodded with a smile: "This humble Taoist will now impart the magic to Brother Ling."

……

Just as Ling Chi was enthusiastically learning magic, various forces arrived at Peach Blossom Island one after another. The first to arrive were…

"I am Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch. I've heard that the food on Peach Blossom Island is unparalleled in the world. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Looking at the wild and beautiful girl in front of him, Ling Chi smiled slightly: "So you are the mall owner. My apologies for not recognizing you. Here is the menu. Please order, mall owner."

Ling Chi handed over two menus, one white and one blue. They not only had names written on them but also pictures. The pictures were copied using the system's photocopying function, and were full-color and high-definition, which immediately shocked Shang Xiuxun.

“This…this picture…” Shang Xiuxun looked at Ling Chi and saw his smiling face. She was afraid that he would think she was a country bumpkin and look down on her, so she immediately shut up and stopped asking questions. But when she saw the prices on the menu, she was startled again.

"So expensive!?"

Ling Chi chuckled and said, "The blue menu is indeed very expensive. The shop owner can take a look at the white menu, which is cheaper."

Although Shang Xiuxun really wanted to take a look at the white menu, she held back. She was the owner of the incredibly wealthy Pegasus Ranch, representing the face of the ranch; how could she allow anyone to look down on her?

"No need." Shang Xiuxun looked at some desserts and dishes on the blue menu.

What should I do? They all look so delicious.

Suppressing the urge to drool, Shang Xiuxun ordered four dishes and a soup, plus a dessert, according to her appetite: "That's all!"

Ling Chi noted down the dishes and smiled, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Manager, the food will be here shortly."

"Wait a minute." Shang Xiuxun called out to Ling Chi, and asked, "You must be Ling Chi."

"I didn't expect the mall owner to have heard of me." Ling Chi smiled slightly. "It's truly an honor."

“There aren’t many people in the world who don’t know your name these days,” Shang Xiuxun said. “How about we sit down and talk?”

"Sorry," Ling Chi said, "chatting with you costs extra."

"..."

Shang Xiuxun slapped down ten taels of silver: "Let's start with ten yuan."

Ling Chi's eyes lit up. He swept the silver into his sleeve and chuckled, "The shop owner is indeed generous." He turned to Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, bring the shop owner a fruit platter."

"Yes."

Soon after, a fruit platter was served. Seeing the beautiful, tropical-looking fruit platter, Shang Xiuxun's eyes lit up: "So beautiful!"

"The shopkeeper has a good eye," Ling Chi said with a smile. "Although the fruit in this dish is ordinary, after being processed by the chef of Peach Blossom Island, it can definitely be called a work of art." He paused for a moment, then added, "This fruit dish originally cost five taels of silver, but since it's the shopkeeper's first time here, consider it a gift from our island. We welcome the shopkeeper to come often."

Each dish on those blue menus cost over a hundred taels of silver, with the most expensive even exceeding ten thousand taels. Hearing that this fruit platter only cost five taels of silver, Shang Xiuxun was no longer bothered. She nodded and said, "Okay, as long as it's delicious, I'll definitely come often."

Ling Chi nodded with a smile and said, "Merchant owner, please try some! These fruits are all grown on my Peach Blossom Island and were just picked; they are very fresh."

"Okay." Shang Xiuxun was about to make her move.

"Wait!" Ling Chi quickly stopped her hand, smiled slightly under her puzzled gaze, and used a toothpick to pick up a piece of watermelon: "Please enjoy, shop owner."

"..." Shang Xiuxun took the watermelon stuck with a toothpick, looking quite intrigued: "I didn't expect that the way you eat fruit on Peach Blossom Island is so unique, even a fruit platter has so many intricacies."

"The cuisine of Peach Blossom Island is the finest in the world, and naturally it is unique." Ling Chi smiled and said, "Since this is your first time here, Mr. Mall Owner, there must be many things you don't understand. How about I explain them to you?"

For the first time, Shang Xiuxun felt like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Although she blushed a little, she still nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Island Master Ling."

He put the watermelon in his mouth and couldn't help but exclaim, "So sweet!"

That's right, it's sweet. How could watermelons from the Sui Dynasty compare to modern high-quality watermelons? Not to mention the shape, they're not even in the same league in terms of sweetness. The watermelons grown by Lingchi on their farm are even better than modern watermelons. They're not only sweet and juicy, but they also have a +0.1 effect on the sense of pleasure. And this fruit platter, as a combination, has an even greater effect of +0.5 on the sense of comfort, like jumping into a swimming pool on a sweltering summer day.

"It's alright!" Ling Chi smiled slightly. "The mall owner can eat more."

"Mmm." Shang Xiuxun was a foodie, and her biggest hobby was tasting delicious food. But compared to the fruit platter in front of her, the fruit she had eaten before was nothing.

Delicious, so delicious! Waaah, why did it take me so long to eat such delicious fruit?!

Seeing Shang Xiuxun eating while crying, Ling Chi was completely bewildered: "What's wrong with the shop owner...?"

Shang Xiuxun froze on the spot, stiffly raising her head to look at him. Seeing his astonished expression, she felt like she was about to explode.

"I...I just..." Shang Xiuxun's face was so red it was practically steaming: Oh no, I'm so embarrassed.

"Hehe." Ling Chi suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect the mall owner to be such a sentimental person. I like customers like the mall owner. This meal is on me today. How about we become friends?"

Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes widened: "Really?"

“If the mall owner doesn’t want to be my friend, then pay in full!” Ling Chi said sternly.

"No, no, no, I'm willing!" Shang Xiuxun quickly said, "I'm willing to be friends with Island Master Ling."

Ling Chi's face brightened, and she smiled, "That's right." At this moment, Wei Zhenzhen brought out two dishes that emitted a blue glow, and Ling Chi quickly said, "Come, let me explain the characteristics and effects of these two dishes to the shop owner..."

“Since we are already friends, then Island Master Ling, please call me Xiuxun!” Shang Xiuxun said, “Calling me Island Master Shang is too formal.”

Ling Chi chuckled: "Alright, then Xiu Xun can just call me Brother Ling."

"Yes, Brother Ling." Shang Xiuxun looked at Ling Chi's smiling face. Although it was ordinary, his smile was very pleasing to the eye, which made her feel a little closer to him.

"Xiuxun, look at this dish..." Ling Chi smiled and explained the characteristics and effects of the two dishes to her. When Shang Xiuxun heard that these two dishes could actually improve her health and even increase her internal strength, she was extremely surprised: "Is it really that magical? Brother Ling, are you kidding me?"

"I won't ruin Peach Blossom Island's reputation," Ling Chi said. "Xiuxun will know once she tries it."

"Okay." No matter how well it's said, nothing beats tasting it yourself. Shang Xiuxun picked up her chopsticks and put the first dish into her mouth.

"Mmm..." Shang Xiuxun's whole body was throbbing, she felt like she had inexhaustible energy, and it was so delicious!

Ling Chi's eyes flashed. If ordinary blue recipes couldn't win him over, it seemed that Shang Xiuxun was very likely a high-level blue or even higher-level person.

As soon as the second dish was served, Shang Xiuxun felt her internal energy surge. Almost instantly, she felt her internal energy increase, which surprised and delighted her: "It really can increase internal energy!? How amazing!"

"Do you believe me now?" Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Mmm." Shang Xiuxun nodded repeatedly: "The food on Peach Blossom Island is indeed as good as its reputation. Compared with these dishes, what I used to eat was simply pig swill."

Shang Xiuxun suddenly felt a little sad: What should I do? What will I do if I can't eat the delicious food from Peach Blossom Island anymore?

"Xiuxun is worried about what she'll do if she can't enjoy Peach Blossom Island's delicacies anymore, right?" Ling Chi suddenly said, startling Shang Xiuxun: "Brother Ling, you..."

"How would I know?" Ling Chi smiled and, before Shang Xiuxun could nod, said, "That's what all the guests who come to my Peach Blossom Island think."
