Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Thinking about it this way, this world is really scary.

Having just finished a martial arts world, the first fantasy world I'm facing is already so high-end; it's really not very friendly.

Fortunately, immortals in the celestial realm rarely descend to the mortal world, and the power of demons is relatively limited. Human sword immortals are more than capable of slaying demons. Overall, with his current strength, while he wouldn't dare say he can dominate the three realms, he is certainly powerful enough to rule a region.

However, one should be humble.

After killing the Lava Beast King and obtaining the Blazing Stone, Ling Chi returned to the Moonlit Realm. At that time, Chu Bihen was very excited, as she finally saw the hope of escaping this place and ascending to immortality.

But Ling Chi didn't hand over the Blazing Stone to her. Instead, he asked her a question: "If you don't ascend, you'll stay here with your sister forever; if you ascend, your sister will be annihilated. Which would you choose?"

Chu Bihen's expression kept changing, and finally, she chose to ascend on her own.

Ling Chi was disappointed with this choice, and then he handed the Blazing Flame Stone to Chu Hanjing: "With a sister like this, why don't you ascend to immortality?"

Chu Bihen was shocked, frightened, and regretful, but she kept her lips tightly pressed together and had nothing to say.

Chu Hanjing gazed at the Blazing Flame Stone, then at the deathly pale-faced Chu Bihen, and finally sighed softly, handing the Blazing Flame Stone to Chu Bihen: "My master said that only a kind heart can grant you immortality. If you harbor selfish thoughts, you can only make the Solomon Tree bear fruit, but you will still be annihilated. I know you are tired of your current life. Now, I give you the Blazing Flame Stone. I know you will be annihilated, but it doesn't matter. If you die, I will not live either. I will stay with you."

Chu Bihen never dreamed that Chu Hanjing would hand over the Blazing Flame Stone he had obtained, but his words moved her and angered her at the same time: "Sister, are you so sure that I will be destroyed?"

“I’m sure.” Chu Hanjing nodded: “From the moment you were willing to let my soul be scattered so that I could ascend to immortality, I knew you were destined to fail to ascend.”

"You...you said I can't ascend, but I'll show you!" Chu Bihen held the Blazing Flame Stone, ready to use it to ascend.

But the next moment, the Blazing Stone disappeared from her hand and appeared in Ling Chi's hand.

"What—what are you doing!?" Chu Hanjing was both shocked and furious. His mental state collapsed, and he became hysterical.

"I'm not doing anything," Ling Chi said calmly. "I obtained this Blazing Flame Stone, and I have the right to decide whether to give it away or take it back. This was a gift for your sister to use for her ascension. Since your sister doesn't want it, I should take it back myself. It's not your place to do this."

"You...give it back to me!" Chu Bihen lunged at him.

Although she was a half-immortal, her combat power was pitifully low. Ling Chi easily subdued her and put the Blazing Stone into the God of Cookery's Space, giving Chu Bihen no chance to ascend.

Since then, Ling Chi has come several times, but Chu Bihen has ignored him and become very withdrawn, unwilling to talk to anyone, spending all her time sleeping in the sal tree as if she were dead.

Ling Chi sighed and handed the Blazing Flame Stone to Chu Hanjing when Chu Hanjing knelt before him, begging him to give it to Chu Bihen. Chu Hanjing then passed it on to Chu Bihen.

"Bihen, this is the Blazing Flame Stone, take it!"

When Chu Bihen saw her sister presenting the Blazing Stone to her with both hands, she immediately hugged her and burst into tears, crying, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

During this period, although Chu Bihen was in seclusion, she also thoroughly reflected on her past actions and tried to understand Chu Hanjing's thoughts from his perspective. If Shennong had told her the conditions for ascending to immortality instead of Chu Hanjing, what would she have done?

Compared to her willingness to sacrifice Chu Hanjing's life to ascend to immortality, Chu Hanjing chose to pretend he didn't know and stayed with his younger sister for over a thousand years.

He gave up ascension just to be with her.

Now, Chu Hanjing presented the Blazing Flame Stone to her again, showing no greed for ascending to immortality and thinking of her in every way. This finally moved her to tears, and she repented for her mistakes, saying that she would never ascend again and would stay with her sister forever, never to be separated.

Chu Hanjing was deeply moved and embraced Chu Bihen, weeping.

Only after that did Chu Bihen speak to Ling Chi and express her gratitude to him. If it weren't for him, the two sisters would have been annihilated long ago, and they wouldn't have survived until now.

Ling Chi accepted her thanks in full and congratulated her on overcoming her inner demons. Even if she couldn't ascend to immortality, her cultivation would increase significantly, making it no problem for her to dominate the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave in the future. Once she dominated the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave, she could leave and see this world where beauty and danger coexist.

Chu Bihen shook her head: "The Solomon Tree is right here. If we don't become immortals, my sister and I will never be able to leave the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave."

"Is that so?" Ling Chi looked at her and said, "Now I finally understand why you wanted to become an immortal. If I were to stay in such a small space for a thousand years, I would probably have gone crazy long ago."

"You finally understand my pain!" Chu Bihen was glad that someone could understand him, but he still sighed: "But my sister has made such a huge sacrifice for me, I can't let her down."

Chu Hanjing said, "Bihen, you don't need to consider my feelings. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters."

"I can only be happy when my sister is with me." Chu Bihen hugged Chu Hanjing tightly: "We sisters will never be separated."

“Azure Trace…”

Several months had passed since then. On this day, Ling Chi came to the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave and said to the two women, "I have a way to get you out of the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave alive. Would you like to try?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: I Can't Beat Him

Leave the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave alive!?

Chu Bihen was first taken aback, then overjoyed: "Really!? You can really let us leave here alive?"

“I wouldn’t joke about something like this,” Ling Chi said. “If I say I can let you leave, then you can leave.”

"Then... what should we do?" Chu Hanjing was also quite excited. If it weren't for accompanying her sister, she would also like to leave this place and see the outside world.

“Actually, you don’t have to do anything,” Ling Chi said. “But I’m taking you to another world. That world is boundless, and you can go wherever you want. There’s no danger there, but there aren’t many living beings there. You’ll have to do some farm work once you’re there. Can you accept that?”

"???" The two sisters looked completely bewildered. Chu Hanjing asked, "Is the other world a small world? And what is farm work?"

"You can think of it as a small world. As for farm work, it's just planting and growing crops, flowers and trees, or raising chickens, ducks and geese, etc. It's not tiring."

"I see." Chu Hanjing nodded and said, "If this is farm work, Bihen and I are fine with it."

"A small world is fine too, it's better than staying here and not changing at all." Chu Bihen said impatiently, "Let's go now!"

"Don't rush," Ling Chi said with a smile. "You're about to leave here, don't you want to take a good look around?"

"What's so interesting?" Chu Bihen waved her hand. "We've seen it for over a thousand years, we're tired of it. Let's go!"

Chu Hanjing nodded as well.

"Uh, okay!" Ling Chi entered the Chef God Space and said, "Recruit Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen as farmers."

Two streaks of purple light flashed, and Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen appeared in the Chef God Space.

"This is the small world?" Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen looked at the suddenly changed environment. What came into their view were countless mountains of grain, forests of meat, pools of wine, delicacies, seasonings and so on. It was simply a world of food.

"This is the Chef God's Space," Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Chef's Space?"

……

After Ling Chi told them about the origin and development of the Chef God Space, and took them to the farm and ranch, introducing them to the farmers and herders who had been recruited, the two women were extremely satisfied with this world and were very happy to live here.

"I'm glad you're satisfied." Ling Chi led the two women to the rooftop garden and selected two rooms.

Since the farm was upgraded, the Sky Gardens have also been replicated, with one Sky Garden every hundred miles. In short, one hundred farmers can occupy a space within a hundred miles, but once a room is selected, it cannot be changed.

This isn't a restriction on farmers' freedom, but rather, after the upgrade, teleportation arrays connecting the Hanging Gardens to other locations have appeared, allowing farmers to teleport directly to whichever location they want. This is great news for every farmer. However, only farmers can use the farm's teleportation arrays; herders are not authorized to use them.

Ling Chi didn't understand this at all, and the system's explanation left him speechless: "If herders can also abuse the farm teleportation array, why should the farm and pasture be separated into two spaces?"

No problem.

Farmers can visit ranches, and herders can visit farms, but only farmers can use the farm's teleportation array. Herders can only run around on foot on the farm. Over time, farmers and herders will naturally distinguish their identities.

When the ranch is upgraded in the future, farmers will still not be able to use the ranch's teleportation array. It's fair and reasonable, no problem.

Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen were the 101st and 102nd farmers recruited by Lingchi, so they lived in the No. 2 Sky Garden. Naturally, they would be responsible for the farm work of the No. 2 Farm.

A radius of 100 li is actually a very large area. If there are only 100 farmers in a radius of 100 li, the actual workload is enormous. Even with modern large-scale machine production, it would still be a huge amount of labor.

Fortunately, nowadays farmers have all reached the red level. For them, farm work within a radius of a hundred miles is about the same amount of labor as an ordinary farmer planting some vegetables and raising some chickens and ducks in their own yard. They can do it with ease.

Farm No. 2 currently only has Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen, so they can do less work. Besides, farm work doesn't need to be done every day. Moreover, after the farm was upgraded, the farmers also had certain authority. Within the area of ​​their farm, they could use commands to let the system automatically cultivate and harvest grain. The slaughtering of chickens, ducks, geese, fish, shrimp, and crabs could also be handled automatically by the system, saving the farmers a lot of labor time.

Perhaps this is the change that all farmers like the most after the upgrade, and that's why Azi from the ranch is always whispering in Lingchi's ear: "Brother-in-law, hurry up! I can't wait!"

Ling Chi also wanted to hurry, but finding red-level diners was difficult. In the entire Qionghua Sect, only Su Yao, Qing Yang, and Chong Guang were red-level diners. However, he didn't get along with Su Yao and couldn't possibly cook for her. As for Elders Qing Yang and Chong Guang, they were currently living in seclusion in Qingfeng Ravine, unwilling to be disturbed. He had visited them a few times at first, but later, for some reason, the two elders refused to see him. Even when he left food, there was no notification sound, so they probably hadn't eaten it.

Over the past few years, Ling Chi's main task has been to cook a large pot of food for the disciples of the Qionghua Sect every ten days, but he can only earn about 0.3 experience points each time. Over the years, he has only earned 49.2% of the experience points, which is far from leveling up.

He also set up a stall in some martial arts families gathering places, but his earnings were meager.

Sword Immortals are the strongest fighting force in this world. There may be many strong people in the martial arts world who can compare with Sword Immortals, but the world is too big and the strong are too scattered. You may not even encounter a top-level purple expert in a big city, let alone a red expert.

Therefore, if Ling Chi wants to level up, he will have to wait at least five more years. After five years, he can level up by relying on the disciples of Qionghua.

The premise is that no unexpected events occur.

That year, Liu Mengli was about to turn eighteen, and there were only two years left until the events of the fourth installment of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series. Over the years, he had long since put away the Wangshu Sword. Without the Wangshu Sword, even if Xuanxiao broke out of the ice, it would be difficult for him to bind the Illusionary Dream Realm. As long as it could not be bound, the Qionghua Sect might be able to continue to survive.

The real fear is that Xuanxiao might cause some trouble. If Xuanxiao doesn't have the Wangshu Sword, he might still be able to bind the Illusionary Dream Realm, which would be dangerous.

It wasn't modesty on his part; according to his estimation, he might not be a match for Xuanxiao, and even if he joined forces with Shuang'er, Huang Rong, and Shang Xiuxun, they might still lose. Once Xuanxiao took control of the Qionghua Sect, and they couldn't defeat him, the Qionghua Sect seemed destined for destruction.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Hou Yi Reincarnated?

After settling Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen, Ling Chi returned to the Moonlit Realm. Perhaps because the two women's auras had disappeared, Solomon's Fruit finally grew on the Solomon's Tree.

The sora fruit is a round, bright green fruit, about the size of an orange, and exudes a cold, gloomy aura.

Ling Chi held the Solo Fruit in his hand. Even with his physique, he felt the biting cold. If an ordinary person held it, they would be frozen into an icicle in an instant.

Ling Chi put the Solo Fruit into the Chef God Space. However, without the Tree Spirit and with the Solo Fruit taken away, the Solo Tree has become an ordinary Solo Tree without any supernatural powers. It will probably wither and die soon.

After thinking it over, Ling Chi decided to transplant the tree into the farm. Regardless of whether it would survive in the future, it was the mother tree that had given birth to Chu Hanjing, Chu Bihen, and the Solo Fruit. It shouldn't just die quietly like that.

On the farm, Ling Chi planted the Sophora tree in Farm No. 2. When Chu Hanjing and Chu Bihen saw Ling Chi transplant the Sophora tree, they didn't say anything, but their hearts were warmed.

The two women naturally had a deep affection for the tree that had nurtured them. Although it had become an ordinary tree, seeing it gave them a sense of home and made them feel very safe.

"Young Master Ling, thank you." Chu Hanjing said softly.

"It's nothing." Ling Chi smiled and said, "The farm doesn't reject the Sophora japonica tree, which shows that it is also a kind of food. I will study it carefully in the future. After all, it is the mother tree that nurtured you, so it can definitely be used to make delicious things."

“Of course,” Chu Bihen said. “The nectar from the flowering sago palm is very sweet.”

"Oh?" Ling Chi said thoughtfully, "Since you have nectar, I'll have Long'er teach you how to raise jade bees. The jade honey produced by the jade bees is incredibly sweet and can also beautify the skin, which is very beneficial for you women."

“Okay.” The two women immediately agreed. Women are always powerless against sweet and delicious food, and they were happy to be two joyful beekeepers and honey collectors.

……

Shouyang City.

In three days, it will be Liu Mengli's eighteenth birthday. Eighteen is not a particularly special age for women in ancient times. There is the coming-of-age ceremony at 15, the blossoming of youth at 16, and then the blossoming of youth at 20. There is no specific age for 17, 18, or 19 in between. However, Liu Shifeng, the magistrate of Shouyang County, had already invited many friends several days ago to give his daughter a grand birthday celebration.

Many people couldn't understand, but Liu Shifeng knew that after this birthday, his daughter would have to leave the Liu family temporarily.

Ten years ago, a sword immortal appeared in his mansion, saying he wanted to take his daughter as his disciple and teach her the methods of cultivating immortality. At that time, he was filled with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. He was sad because once his daughter went to cultivate immortality, she would be far away from home and it would be difficult to see her again. He was happy because his daughter had been chosen by the sword immortal. If she cultivated immortality and became an immortal in the future, he and his parents would also benefit. Even if they couldn't rise to the top, they could at least enjoy three generations of prosperity.

Perhaps sensing his emotions, the sword immortal said to Liu Mengli, "Your daughter is still young and should not leave home. I will first teach her the way of immortal chefs to lay a solid foundation. After she turns eighteen, I will take her to the mountain gate to cultivate."

At that time, Liu Shifeng was overjoyed, but he also expressed doubts about the way of the immortal chef that the sword immortal had mentioned.

He had heard that immortal cultivation sects taught alchemy, weapon crafting, talismans, and magic, but he had never heard of immortal chefs.
