……

Ling Chi is different now. Since eating the fried golden pill, Ling Chi's secondary profession has changed from martial artist to cultivator, and his internal energy attribute has also changed to spiritual energy attribute.

Spiritual power is a higher attribute than innate true qi. Every 10 years of innate true qi is equivalent to 1 year of spiritual power cultivation. Now, Ling Chi's 500 years of innate true qi has been converted into spiritual power, and the value has changed from 500 to 50. It seems weaker than before, but its quality is ten times higher.

This is similar to the advertising of many online games, such as "level up instantly" and "incredibly high drop rates," but you can't actually sell them for a good price. What's the point? At most, it sounds good, but people play games for fun! Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter, as long as it's fun.

Ling Chi disagreed with this idea. In his view, only children would pursue such flashy but useless things; real adults need both beauty and practicality. If forced to choose between beauty and practicality, he would definitely choose practicality.

You bought a bag for 10,000 yuan, that's awesome! But I can buy a high-quality replica for 100 yuan and still look good carrying it out, since you can't tell the difference between the real and fake anyway.

You spend two thousand yuan on a diamond ring the size of a grain of millet, while I spend ten yuan on a 'pigeon egg' diamond ring, which is much prettier than yours.

You earn 3,000 a month and I earn 3,000 a month, but you spend all your money on luxury goods, so your quality of life is definitely not as good as mine. Why suffer for the sake of saving face?

After becoming a cultivator, Ling Chi casually consumed the fire spirit root. With the fire spirit root, Ling Chi's speed in cultivating fire-type spells was ten times faster than the other six types of spells. While the other spells were still at level 1, the fire-type spells were already at level 3.

The difference between having a spiritual root and not having one was so huge that Ling Chi was extremely grateful that the one-time recipe he was rewarded with when he reached the purple level was the [Fire Spiritual Root]. If it weren't for this Fire Spiritual Root, his fire magic wouldn't be so far ahead of the other six elements.

The [Immortal Tea] reward for this upgrade is also quite good, as it can increase spiritual power by 2 years, which is equivalent to 20 years of innate true qi and 200 years of internal strength.

Thinking back to when I could only increase my internal strength by 0.1 years at the beginning, the difference is huge compared to now.

He really needed to level up. Leveling up was fun, and the more he leveled up, the more fun it was. One day, he would reach the peak of the Diamond level, and then all living beings in the universe would drool over his delicious food.

It's cool to think about.

When Lingchi leveled up, Shuang'er, Huang Rong, and Shang Xiuxun, who was far away at the Pegasus Ranch, all sensed it. Shuang'er and Huang Rong were fine, but Shang Xiuxun was in a state of complete confusion. When she sensed Lingchi leveling up, she was stunned, but then became extremely excited.

She immediately entered the Chef God Space: "Brother Ling, please save my father!"

"???"

Ling Chi was a little confused when he heard this as soon as he came in: "What happened to your dad?"

"He's dying." Shang Xiuxun's eyes were filled with tears as she gripped his arm tightly. "Brother Ling, please save him."

"Don't worry, stabilize your father's condition first. I'll come to Pegasus Ranch to find you in an hour." After saying that, Ling Chi exited the Chef God Space.

Although the head chef and the sous chef can meet in different locations within the God of Cookery Space, the drawback is that they cannot teleport through the God of Cookery Space; they will return to the same place they entered from.

Pegasus Ranch is two thousand miles away from Peach Blossom Island. At Ling Chi's current speed, he can run to Pegasus Ranch in ten minutes, but that would be running on the ground without obstacles. However, from Peach Blossom Island to Pegasus Ranch, there is not only the sea blocking the way, but also many rivers. Ling Chi can only choose to float.

This floating not only doesn't increase speed, but actually reduces it by half. When he brought Fu Junzhuo back from Yangzhou, it took him an hour, and Yangzhou is only a thousand miles away from Peach Blossom Island.

In order to reach Pegasus Ranch within an hour, Ling Chi had no choice but to combine floating and running.

After exchanging a few words with Shuang'er and Huang Rong, Ling Chi floated away from Peach Blossom Island.

Although his speed was halved, with his current agility of 5000, he was still as fast as lightning. However, when he drifted to a point only ten miles from Peach Blossom Island, he discovered that dozens of huge fleets were heading towards Peach Blossom Island.

"Ok?"

Ling Chi stopped advancing and looked down at the people on the fleet from high above. They were dressed quite neatly, some even wearing leather armor and with swords hanging from their waists, clearly military equipment.

Ling Chi frowned and roughly counted them; there were about four or five thousand people. Although they looked like an army, the people on the ship all had a bandit-like air about them and didn't seem like good people.

I glanced at the flag hanging on the sail, which was embroidered with a dragon and the three characters "Li of Wu".

Dragon Flag? Wu Kingdom Li?

Ling Chi seemed to be deep in thought. In this era, there were many who established their own kingdoms and declared themselves emperors, and the emperor of Wu should be Li Zitong, who occupied Yangzhou!

Ling Chi narrowed his eyes: What is Li Zitong doing bringing so many people to my Peach Blossom Island? He must have ill intentions!

Thinking of this, Ling Chi was unwilling to waste any more time, so he immediately condensed countless fireballs with both hands and smashed them down towards the ship.

boom--

"Fire! Fire!"

……

Li Zitong was burned to death at sea by a celestial fire, and thus withdrew from the stage of history.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Lu Miaozi and Shi Feixuan are both dead.

When you encounter a mountain, run across it; when you encounter water, float across it.

Although Li Zitong's fleet delayed him a little, Ling Chi still managed to reach the Pegasus Ranch within an hour.

Ling Chi didn't disturb anyone and ran straight towards the back mountain.

After passing through a winding corridor with stunning scenery on both sides, and then through a bamboo grove, you'll hear the rushing sound of water. At the end of the corridor is a square pavilion overlooking a towering cliff. A waterfall cascades down the opposite cliff with imposing force. If it weren't for the bamboo grove, the thunderous roar of the waterfall would surely be heard from the courtyard.

To the left, there is a gravel path that connects to the square pavilion and extends along the cliff edge into the depths of the forest, inspiring a desire to explore and discover hidden gems.

Lingchi walked along, turning left and right, and suddenly the view opened up before him. On a terrace overlooking the cliff, there was a two-story building, in a precarious position.

"This Lu Miaozi really knows how to find a place for himself." Ling Chi clicked his tongue in amazement, but he didn't have time to sigh. He immediately jumped towards the small building and landed in front of the door.

"Xiuxun, I'm here," Ling Chi called out from the doorway.

"Brother Ling!" Shang Xiuxun's excited voice came through the phone: "Brother Ling, come in quickly, he's dying!"

Ling Chi immediately pushed open the door and went straight to the second floor. In a corner on the second floor, Ling Chi saw Shang Xiuxun channeling her inner energy into a pale-faced old man, keeping him alive.

"Hang in there!" Ling Chi immediately pulled out a large spicy strip and stuffed it into Lu Miaozi's mouth.

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Lu Miaozi, a top-tier blue-level diner. Your diner level is too low and this does not count towards your conquest count. You have obtained the top-tier blue-level recipe, 'All-rounder'."

"All-rounder: Top-tier blue recipe, learning, application, and creation abilities +3, valid for three uses."

……

Hey!?

Ling Chi's eyes lit up; this recipe is amazing!

Ling Chi was looking at the new recipe with great satisfaction, while Shang Xiuxun was on the verge of tears: "Brother Ling, is there any hope for him?"

"Huh?" Ling Chi came to his senses and quickly checked on Lu Miaozi's condition.

His pulse was faint, his face was pale, he was exhaling more than inhaling, and he looked like he was about to die.

"There's no hope." Ling Chi shook his head: "Even if we save him, he'll be a living dead. There's no point in saving him."

Upon hearing that Lu Miaozi was going to die, Shang Xiuxun burst into tears: "You bastard! Why do you have to die! You haven't atoned for your sins yet, how can you die!?"

Shang Xiuxun grabbed Lu Miaozi's clothes and shook her violently, shouting loudly to vent her pent-up frustration.

"Uh..." Lu Miaozi breathed his last under Shang Xiuxun's shaking, and then he passed out.

……

"Recruit Lu Miaozi."

"Lu Miaozi, a top-tier blue-level gourmet, attribute: Yin spirit. Recruitment successful."

With a flash of blue light, Lu Miaozi appeared in the Chef God Space.

Shang Xiuxun: "..."

Just as she was about to leave the Chef God Space, Ling Chi grabbed her and said, "Running away won't solve anything."

Shang Xiuxun was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Where is this?" Lu Miaozi looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

“This is the Chef God's Space,” Shang Xiuxun said.

Seeing her daughter there, Lu Miaozi was both surprised and delighted: "Xiuxun, what are you doing here? Where is this place?"

"I've already said it, it's the Chef God Space," Shang Xiuxun said somewhat impatiently.

"Uh..." Lu Miaozi was a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

"Alright." Ling Chi patted Shang Xiuxun's shoulder and said, "Your father is dead, why are you still concerned about those things from his life?"

Shang Xiuxun pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ling Chi knew she needed time to overcome her psychological hurdle, so he took over the task of introducing the Chef God Space and its background: "This is the Chef God Space. You are dead, but I have recruited you as a herdsman. You will live here forever..."

After spending some time explaining the whole story, and taking Lu Miaozi on a tour of the farm and ranch, and getting to know the people there, Lu Miaozi was completely bewildered. She never dreamed that she would come to this place after her death, and that as long as Ling Chi didn't die, he would never grow old or die.

"They say there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. I originally thought it was just a word of encouragement, but I didn't expect it to be true." Lu Miaozi exclaimed, "Brother Ling, is it alright if I call you that?"

"I don't really care, as long as Xiuxun agrees," Ling Chi said.

“Uh…” Lu Miaozi turned to look at Shang Xiuxun.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shang Xiuxun said reproachfully, "Call me whatever you want."

"Uh, hehe." Lu Miaozi keenly noticed that her daughter seemed willing to talk to her. Did this mean that her daughter was gradually letting go of her resentment towards her?

“Brother Ling, I have lived in the Pegasus Ranch for decades and have some experience in herding, so please rest assured,” Lu Miaozi said.

“I have no worries. Compared to that, I’m more interested in your mechanical skills. Teach me when you have time,” Ling Chi said.

"Haha, as long as Brother Ling is willing to learn, I will teach you everything I know." Lu Miaozi laughed heartily, then paused: "I have many books and notes stored in my cozy nest. Brother Ling, could you please move those things in?"

“No problem.” Ling Chi glanced at Shang Xiuxun and said, “Bring it in in ten minutes.” After saying that, he flashed away from the Chef God Space.

Shang Xiuxun: "..."

Lu Miaozi: "..."

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Lu Miaozi coughed lightly: "Xiuxun, do you still hate me?"

"...Hate!" Shang Xiuxun gritted her teeth. "How could I not hate you! If it weren't for you, how could Mother have died in despair?"

"Alas!" Lu Miaozi sighed deeply, his face full of shame: "Yes! I did something wrong back then, causing your mother to die young. It's understandable that you hate me."
