Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Such a good deal came to an abrupt end as the two old men backed down.

Ling Chi waved his hand: "I'll leave you here. How you get back is up to you." After saying that, Ling Chi, Shuang'er, and Huang Rong leaped into the air and floated away in one direction.

What appeared to them as floating was seen by the two old men as a lightning bolt that disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Sigh!" Fu Cailin sighed deeply and said, "Xuan, I'm going back to Goguryeo. Would you like to come with me?"

“Goguryeo is a remote and impoverished place, what’s so good about it?” Bi Xuan frowned. “Cailin, come with me to the Turkic Khaganate! I will treat you well.”

Fu Cailin slowly shook his head: "I cannot betray my country and my nation."

Bi Xuan sighed deeply: "And what about me?"

“In that case…” Fu Cailin’s eyes welled up with tears as she embraced Bi Xuan: “This is the last time, and then we will go our separate ways.”

“…” Bi Xuan pursed his lips, his heart heavy: “Okay.”

……

The Temple of War is located in a mysterious space, like a blessed land inhabited by immortals.

When Ling Chi first arrived in the Tang Dynasty world, he traveled around and accidentally discovered the entrance to the Temple of the God of War. However, he encountered a demonic dragon shortly after entering. If Ling Chi hadn't thrown a bunch of meat buns in time to distract the demonic dragon, he, Shuang'er, and Huang Rong would probably have perished there.

The three hurriedly escaped from the Temple of War, but considering that the Temple of War could move, and in order to return for revenge later, Ling Chi deliberately threw a jade stone used for setting up an array into the Temple of War. As long as this jade stone was still there, Ling Chi could sense its location from the ends of the earth and arrive in time.

Now, Ling Chi, Shuang'er, and Huang Rong are more than five times stronger than when they first came to this world, so there's no reason why they can't defeat the Demon Dragon.

Using their senses to detect the jade, Ling Chi and his two companions quickly landed on a large Gobi desert in the northwest.

"There's nothing here!" Huang Rong looked around at the surrounding Gobi Desert. "It's so desolate."

“This place should be near the Western Regions.” Shuang’er was knowledgeable: “The soil erosion in the northwest is getting worse and worse. Originally, this place should have been a lush green forest, but due to the wanton destruction by humans, it has become like this.”

"Sister Shuang'er is so smart, Rong'er admires you so much!" Huang Rong hugged Shuang'er and started rubbing her face against Shuang'er's face again.

Shuang'er felt utterly hopeless.

Ling Chi looked at the sand under his feet, narrowed his eyes, and said, "You guys stay away, I'm going to dig a hole here."

The two women knew that the Temple of War must be hidden beneath this Gobi Desert. Upon hearing this, they immediately retreated several hundred meters away. Ling Chi also unleashed a huge golden dragon at the ground beneath his feet, a giant dragon that did not split into eighteen smaller golden dragons.

With a deafening roar, a secluded and isolated space appeared beneath the sand and gravel. This space was incredibly sturdy; it remained completely undamaged despite the golden dragon's bombardment. Ling Chi immediately jumped down into it.

"Wait for us!" Shuang'er and Huang Rong also ran a few steps and jumped down with Ling Chi.

As soon as the three of them jumped into this space, the surrounding scenery changed instantly.

A vast underground lake appeared before the three, hidden within an enormous underground cavern. The cavern ceiling was at least fifty to sixty feet above the lake's surface, making the underground lake appear like a boundless sea, with the cave walls only faintly visible in the far distance. The surrounding walls were covered with exotic flowers and plants in vibrant colors, and large cracks appeared in the caverns, from which clear springs gushed forth, forming forty or fifty long waterfalls, some reaching seventy feet in length, roaring and creating a magnificent spectacle that filled this vast underground space with sound and movement.

In the middle of the lake is a rocky island, upon which stands a magnificent temple, the Temple of the God of War.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Treasure Trove

"Finally, we're back here again." Ling Chi took out three hoes: "Come on, another batch of ingredients (exotic flowers and herbs) has grown here. Harvest them all."

Shuang'er: "..."

Huang Rong: "..."

……

"Weren't we here to destroy the demonic dragon? Why am I being made to do this?" Huang Rong complained as she dug for exotic flowers and herbs on the rock wall.

"After all, the ingredients here are rare, it would be a waste not to dig them up." Shuang'er worked very quickly, and soon she had dug up a patch of exotic flowers and plants.

"Rong'er, be careful of that blue flame flower. It's a key ingredient for making [Beautiful as a Flower] (ordinary purple). Don't ruin it!" Ling Chi warned loudly.

"Okay!" Although she complained, Huang Rong was still very reliable when it came to work. She dug out the Blue Flame Flower in no time and then sent it into the Chef God Space, where the farmers would transplant it to the farm.

That's the advantage of having a farm. As long as a rare crop is found elsewhere, it can be transplanted to the farm, and mass production can begin in just a few years. Relying on the farm's strong mass production capacity, Lingchi rarely worries about a lack of food. Even for animals that are difficult to breed, as long as they can be raised on a farm or ranch, a litter can still be harvested in just a few years.

Ling Chi's greatest pleasure now is discovering new ingredients. In the spiritually rich world of the Tang Dynasty, he has found many exotic ingredients that cannot be found in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and the rare flowers and herbs here are some of them.

After about half an hour, the three of them finally dug up all the exotic flowers and plants in the area.

"What a bountiful harvest!" The three stood in the farm and saw the farmers planting the newly dug flowers and plants, which were colorful and beautiful.

"Young Master, shall we go and slay the demonic dragon now?" Old Master Pu Heng, who had been watching the live broadcast, came over with a ruddy complexion, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming dragon slaying.

“Yes.” Ling Chi nodded and drew the Dragon Slayer Blade from his waist: “Today is the day the Dragon Slayer Blade drinks blood.”

The Dragon Slayer Blade emitted a dazzling golden light, as if to say: This great one has been itching for a long time.

"It's a pity we can't go out, otherwise I really want to fight the Demon Dragon," Little White said in human language.

That's right. Since they reached the purple level, the beasts in the farm have started to talk, and their appearance has also changed to some extent. For example, the little white beast in front of us is ten feet long, all white, with scales that are like armor on its body. It also has a spiral-shaped horn on its forehead and two long whiskers on both sides of its mouth, making it look more and more like a dragon.

"Aren't there enough strange beasts in the farm for you to fight?" Ling Chi laughed.

"Although we're strong enough to fight, we know each other inside and out, so it feels awkward to fight." Xiaobai rested her chin on Ling Chi's head and said, "I want something new."

Ling Chi patted Xiao Bai's chin and said, "Then fight with them."

“No,” Xiaobai said decisively. “They are too cunning. They are always dodging and weaving, and some of them always use formations to surround and attack. It’s not satisfying.”

Ling Chi laughed and said, "What can we do? They know martial arts and formations! But you can also use this opportunity to hone your skills and improve your combat power. Why not?"

"It's too frustrating to fight, let's not fight," Xiaobai insisted.

“Alright!” Ling Chi said, “Your appearance is becoming more and more like a dragon. Perhaps you can transform into a dragon when you reach the red level. It is said that dragons are born with supernatural powers. Maybe you can use your supernatural powers to fight them then.”

"Then you'd better hurry." A glint flashed in Xiaobai's eyes: "Once I transform into a dragon, I'll beat them so badly they'll run away in terror."

"..."

Once all the exotic flowers and plants had been planted, Ling Chi, Huang Rong, and Shuang'er left the farm and returned to the underground space.

With his gaze fixed on the large lake surrounding the Temple of War, Ling Chi said, "I'll go lure the demonic dragon up here."

"I'll go!" Huang Rong volunteered, "I'm the best swimmer."

“That was before,” Ling Chi laughed. “Don’t forget, I’ve now mastered water magic and can walk underwater as if it were flat ground.”

Huang Rong immediately pouted: "Damn it, when we get back I'm going to study magic hard too."

"That's for later." Ling Chi laughed and jumped into the lake.

Shuang'er now held a small metal ball in her hand; this was a 'hidden weapon' that Ou Yu had crafted for her according to her request.

These hidden weapons were extremely hard. When Shuang'er threw them out using the techniques of hidden weapons, their power was greater than that of armor-piercing bullets. Moreover, according to Ling Chi's understanding of formations, Ou Yu personally inscribed an automatic return formation on these metal balls, which could be used repeatedly.

Although Shuang'er only had a dozen or so small balls in her hand, she was confident that she could defeat an army of millions.

In contrast, Huang Rong's weapon was a metal rod, which was handcrafted by Pu Heng. It was seven feet long and could only be held in one hand. It was engraved with phoenix patterns. Although it was not a divine weapon with a spirit, it was not much different.

The most notable characteristic of this metal rod is its hardness—it's incredibly hard. Over the past few decades, Huang Rong has destroyed countless divine weapons, much to the dismay of their owners.

Moreover, this metal rod is heavy enough, twice as heavy as Ling Chi's Dragon-Slaying Saber, weighing a full thousand catties. Because she learned the Dog-Beating Staff Technique from Hong Qigong, Huang Rong now relies solely on the metal rod and the Dog-Beating Staff Technique to become the most ferocious warrior, unparalleled in close combat.

Huang Rong really enjoyed teaming up with Shuang'er because Shuang'er's fighting style was ranged, while Huang Rong was a melee fighter. The two worked together seamlessly and, over the years on Peach Blossom Island, they defeated many treacherous individuals.

Just as the two women held their breath, preparing to kill the demonic dragon as soon as it came ashore, a golden light flashed at the bottom of the lake, and then the lake water churned before quickly returning to calm.

"..." Both women were stunned.

"What just happened?" Huang Rong asked, turning her head.

Shuang'er shook her head: "I only saw golden light at the bottom of the lake, and then the surface of the lake churned."

"Did Brother Ling fight the Demon Dragon?" Huang Rong's expression turned serious.

The golden light was easy to understand; it must have come from the Dragon Slayer Blade. But why did it stop moving after surging? Was it caught in a fierce battle?

Just as the two women were worrying, Ling Chi had already entered the God of Cookery space and sent them a message: "Come in quickly, let's dissect the demonic dragon."

Shuang'er: "..."

Huang Rong: "..."

……

The two women entered the God of Cookery's Space and saw a huge green monster there.

This monster had a round body, was three zhang long, and was covered with thick green and red armor. It had a long, pointed tail, an exceptionally large head with two small horns like those of an antelope on top. Each hair on its head was as thick as a child's arm and hung down on both sides. Its green eyes were as big as lanterns, its nostrils were flat and upturned, its mouth was tightly closed, and short, needle-like whiskers grew under its mouth.

It looks terrifying, but it has a huge gash on its neck, a fatal wound, proving that it is dead.

"It really was a demonic dragon." The two girls were shocked. Huang Rong immediately asked, "Brother Ling, the demonic dragon is so powerful, how did you kill it so easily?"

"Thanks to the Dragon Slayer Blade." Ling Chi drew the Dragon Slayer Blade from his waist, overjoyed. "I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It broke through the demonic dragon's defense with just one strike." After a pause, Ling Chi said, "I originally thought it would be a tough battle, but a divine weapon is a divine weapon. Ordinary divine weapons are completely incomparable."

"..." Huang Rong stared intently at the Dragon-Slaying Blade, revealing a longing for a weapon for the first time: "Brother Ling, I want a divine weapon too."

"No problem," Ling Chi said with a smile. "Old Master Pu's blacksmithing skills are becoming increasingly superb, and forging divine weapons is a piece of cake for him." He paused, then added, "But a lot of rare metals have already been used to forge the Dragon Slayer Blade. I wonder if what's left is enough?"

"It's alright," Huang Rong said. "Once the matter of the Temple of War is settled, we'll go find metal ore. Anyway, I'm determined to forge a divine iron rod."

"Alright." Ling Chi nodded with a smile, turned to look at Shuang'er, and said, "Shuang'er's hidden weapons don't require much metal. We'll have Elder Pu forge some new hidden weapons for you later."

Shuang'er nodded with a smile: "Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome." Ling Chi smiled slightly, turned to look at Shang Xiuxun who was circling the demonic dragon's corpse, and said, "Have you finished looking? I'll dissect it when you're done."

"Even though I've finished watching, I still haven't had enough." Shang Xiuxun said with lingering excitement, "This is a real dragon! Brother Ling, aren't you excited?"

“This is just a demonic dragon, not a pure-blooded dragon,” Ling Chi said. “Just like the little white dragons on the farm, they are not considered dragons until they have fully evolved.”

"..."

Okay! Ling Chi makes a lot of sense, and she has no reply.

“Dissecting this demonic dragon must be quite troublesome!” Shang Xiuxun looked at the three-zhang-long demonic dragon and said, “It must weigh several thousand jin of flesh.”

"A few thousand catties is nothing." Ling Chi rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll dissect the dragon now. Watch my technique."

Although it was her first time dissecting a dragon, Ling Chi quickly broke the dragon into several parts thanks to her maxed-out dissecting skills.

First, there's the demon core inside the dragon's body, which contains abundant water elemental energy, even more abundant and purer than the large bluefish in West Lake. It's the best aid for cultivating water-based magic.

Secondly, dragon skin is incredibly tough. Even a dragon-slaying sword would struggle to cut through it without considerable force, making it an excellent choice for body armor.

Dragon tendons are very flexible and are an excellent material for making bowstrings, while dragon horns and dragon teeth are also good for forging weapons. The two dragon eyes are used to make purple food, which is good for the eyes after eating.

Dragon blood is also a good thing, as it can improve physical fitness, while dragon meat is the most nourishing food, which can comprehensively improve the basic attributes of the human body. It is also the most abundant food, weighing more than 5,000 catties in total, enough to make tens of thousands of purple dishes.

However, Ling Chi's favorite was the dragon whip, which was a hundred times better than the tiger whip.
