Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

It wasn't until the sword immortal personally prepared a large table of delicacies that shimmered with blue light that he and his wife consumed them. Immediately, they became ten years younger, their minor ailments disappeared, and they gained even more strength, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

All doubts vanished after the meal, and Liu Mengli formally became an apprentice to the Sword Immortal, learning the art of culinary arts.

Now, more than a decade later, the daughter's culinary skills have greatly improved, and she can now create top-tier blue recipes. Every time the sword immortal comes here, he praises her progress but also points out the problems so that she can refine her culinary skills.

With his daughter about to leave after her eighteenth birthday, Liu Shifeng naturally wanted to throw a grand send-off party for her.

Meanwhile, at Qingluan Peak.

On Qingluan Peak, sixteen-year-old Yun Tianhe was very strong. He practiced martial arts, hunted, and ate roasted meat every day. He couldn't be happier.

Just then, Yun Tianhe had just hunted a wild boar and was preparing to roast it when he suddenly heard a voice: "Hey kid, what are you doing?"

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Tianhe's face lit up with joy, and he looked up at the sky: "Master!"

In mid-air, Ling Chi, standing on wind, fire, and thunder, slowly landed on the ground. Seeing Yun Tianhe's dirty appearance, he laughed and scolded, "Are you trying to imitate a wild boar? Did you just roll in a mud pit?"

"No." Yun Tianhe scratched his head and said, "I just accidentally got some mud on my hands when I was catching the wild boar. Master, you've come at the perfect time. I'll roast the wild boar right away and offer it to you."

"Alright." Ling Chi nodded and said, "Make sure it's clean."

"Don't worry, Master, it'll be spotless, not a single hair on it." Yun Tianhe carried the wild boar to the waterfall to wash it.

Ling Chi walked into the small wooden house, glanced at Yun Tianqing's memorial tablet, shook his head, and then sat down on the edge of the bed.

A book sat beside the pillow on the bedside table. It was a travelogue, recording Ling Chi's encounters with local customs, interesting events, and strange occurrences during his exploration of the world.

This travelogue was given to Yun Tianhe by Ling Chi half a year ago. The book is somewhat worn, which shows that Yun Tianhe has read it quite a bit in the past six months.

Long before Yun Tianqing entered the ranch, Ling Chi couldn't bear to see such a young child like Yun Tianhe struggling to survive alone on Qingluan Peak, so he flew over on his sword and took Yun Tianhe as his disciple.

He did not teach Yun Tianhe the way of cultivating immortality, but instead passed on the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to him, and also gave him a treasure bow made of demonic dragon tendons for him to use when hunting in the mountains.

In fact, Ling Chi also agreed with Yun Tianqing's choice to let Yun Tianhe live a carefree life on Qingluan Peak. However, it was too difficult for a person to survive alone. It was fine when he was young, but what would happen when he got old and frail?

The best solution, of course, is to have Yun Tianhe practice martial arts to make him strong and healthy, thus slowing down the aging process.

Yun Tianhe is a prodigy with a pure heart, learning everything incredibly quickly. In the game, he mastered sword flight faster than Liu Mengli and Han Lingsha, and he learned the Ice Condensation Technique taught to him by Xuanxiao after only one listen. He's as monstrous as can be. If someone like him had studied immortal arts from a young age, what would he be like when he grew up?

Moreover, he could survive on the mountain by learning the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms; there was no need for him to learn immortal techniques. However, Ling Chi came here this time intending to teach Yun Tianhe immortal techniques.

Calling it "immortal magic" isn't quite accurate; it should be called "magic."

Two years later, Han Lingsha will come to Qingluan Peak. Now that Wangshu Sword has been taken away by him, what will happen if Han Lingsha enters Shichenxi Cave again and encounters Fuzhou Kui Zhao without Wangshu Sword?

Without the Xihe Sword, Kui Zhao would definitely aim to kill them. That's why he decided to pass on his magic to Yun Tianhe so that he could protect himself two years later.

Moreover, Liu Mengli will soon be taken away by him. Without Liu Mengli, Yun Tianhe and Han Lingsha will definitely encounter great danger in the process of searching for the immortal sect. Only by learning magic can they cope with the future crisis.

……

"Master, it's been so long since you've come. Are you still slaying demons and monsters?" Yun Tianhe asked while eating roasted wild boar.

Ling Chi took a bite of wild boar meat. It tasted quite good. Although it was just a high-grade white recipe, it could increase strength by 0.2 and physique by 0.3. Yun Tianhe had eaten hundreds of wild boars in the past ten years and occasionally hunted ferocious beasts such as tigers and bears. His physique and strength were many times higher than those of ordinary people.

In addition, he has mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and now his martial arts skills are among the best in the martial arts world.

Blue-grade products deserve this confidence.

"Slaying demons and monsters is just a side job; I spend most of my time cultivating and handling various affairs," Ling Chi said. "I'm not as leisurely as you, kid."

"Hehe, Dad also said that it's better to live in the mountains, where there are no worries," Yun Tianhe said with a silly grin.

Ling Chi shook his head: "The mountain is indeed very nice, but it is more suitable for people who are tired of the mundane world. What a young person like you should do is go out and explore, experience more things, and increase your life experience."

“I don’t need to experience things to gain life experience,” Yun Tianhe said. “I’ve read the travelogue my master gave me many times, and it has greatly increased my life experience.”

“That’s my life experience. You can only refer to it and learn from it. Only what you experience yourself can be considered your own life experience.” Ling Chi shook his head and said, “But you are still young. It’s not too late to go down the mountain and see for yourself after you turn eighteen.”

"Oh." Yun Tianhe munched on wild boar meat and said, "Master, did you come here this time to teach me a new martial art?"

"What I'm going to teach you this time is not martial arts, but magic."

"Spells?"

……

"The Dao pervades the three realms as one Qi. Heaven operates with Qi, Earth is born with Qi, Yin and Yang are in harmony with Qi, Wind and Thunder are stirred by Qi, the human body breathes with Qi, and the Daoist practices are connected through Qi."

"Water, when it flows downwards, penetrates everywhere; fire, when it rises, burns everything; thunder, when it subdues, destroys everything; wind, when it blows, penetrates everything; earth, when it nourishes, melts everything!"

Ling Chi taught Yun Tianhe the most basic Five Elements magic. After listening, Yun Tianhe's mind was in a daze, but he felt an energy surging within him. He subconsciously released this energy towards a tree, and the tree suddenly burst into flames, startling Yun Tianhe: "Ah!? Why is the tree on fire?"

"You started this fire yourself." Ling Chi slapped Yun Tianhe on the back of the head, then diverted the nearby waterfall to extinguish the burning tree. Although it was extinguished quickly, the tree was already mostly burned and was probably dying.

"Wow! Master, you're amazing!" Yun Tianhe's eyes were filled with excitement and admiration when he saw Ling Chi divert the waterfall's water to extinguish the tree.

"Impressive, isn't it!" Ling Chi laughed. "As long as you practice hard, you'll be as skilled as your teacher sooner or later."

"I will definitely practice hard in the future." Yun Tianhe patted his chest loudly.

"That's good."

When Ling Chi was instructing Yun Tianhe on the spell, he was internally cursing. He had only heard the incantation once, and Yun Tianhe had already unleashed a fire spell. This Yun Tianhe was indeed a monster.

Ling Chi suspected that Yun Tianhe might be the reincarnation of a deity. Otherwise, how could he be born immune to heat and cold and learn everything so quickly? Moreover, Ju Mang of Fengshenling said that Yun Tianhe was a person with a clear mind and pure heart for three lifetimes, and even gave him Hou Yi's Sun-Shooting Bow. Could it be that Yun Tianhe, like Jing Tian from Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, was also a celestial general who had reincarnated many times?

Having obtained Hou Yi's Sun-Shooting Bow, could Yun Tianhe be the reincarnation of Hou Yi?

Upon closer examination, it seems quite possible. Among the main characters in all the Legend of Sword and Fairy games, only Yun Tianhe wields a bow, and he even used Hou Yi's Sun-Shooting Bow to save the common people at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, at the cost of only losing his eyesight.

Moreover, he received the breath of a dragon, which greatly increased his lifespan and made him eternally young.

Ling Chi didn't believe that the Candle Dragon would be so kind to Yun Tianhe for no reason. He had cooked so many delicious meals for the Candle Dragon, but the Candle Dragon only gave him some local specialties and occasionally explained some difficult cultivation problems to him. Yet Yun Tianhe only fought with the Candle Dragon's phantom before it became an immortal and obtained the Dragon's Breath. This was too biased.

Therefore, there must be a problem inside.

Could this kid really be the reincarnation of Hou Yi?

……

Ling Chi stayed at Qingluan Peak for two days. In addition to teaching magic, he also tested Yun Tianhe's progress in martial arts over the past six months.

Yun Tianhe, a top-tier blue-level expert, possesses strength comparable to Qiao Feng in the later stages of the Tianlong era. His mastery of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms has reached a level of perfection, making him a formidable master in this world. Now that he has learned magic, his future achievements are unimaginable.

However, given this kid's content nature of being satisfied with hunting wild boars, he probably won't cultivate properly in the future, and his achievements in this life will likely be limited.

This kind of lazy, complacent nature is perfect for herding sheep on a ranch.

"Ah-"

Yun Tianhe rubbed his nose: "Ugh, it's so cold on my back. Is Dad scolding me? Dad? Oh no! I haven't offered incense to Dad yet!"

“This kid…” Ling Chi shook his head helplessly: “He’s definitely better off herding sheep.”

……

Ling Chi strolled through the streets of Shouyang City, listening to passersby discussing the upcoming eighteenth birthday of the Liu family's daughter. Almost everyone was offering their heartfelt blessings, and he couldn't help but smile slightly: "My disciple is indeed well-loved."

This is only natural. Although she had studied cooking with him for more than ten years, Liu Mengli still managed to turn the fragrant grass of Shouyang City into Ningxiang, just like in the game, which made Shouyang prosperous.

Compared to when there were only two or three thousand people when they first came to Shouyang City, the city now has tens of thousands of people and can be called a large city.

All these changes were caused by Liu Mengli, and the people of the city naturally loved and respected her greatly.

At the gate of the Liu residence, the place was relatively quiet because the birthday was tomorrow. However, the maids and servants inside had already begun decorating the halls and rooms, hanging lanterns and colorful decorations, working hard to prepare for the young lady's eighteenth birthday.

Ling Chi did not disturb them. He used an invisibility spell to enter the Liu residence and headed towards Liu Mengli's private courtyard.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fourth Assistant Chef

Where Liu Mengli lives, there is a peach blossom forest. Due to the formation, the peach blossoms bloom all year round, making it look like a peach blossom fairyland.

As Ling Chi walked over, he heard a melodious and pleasant sound of a zither in the distance.

Close your eyes and listen; in the music, there is a hint of melancholy, a hint of joy, a hint of longing... a mixture of emotions.

Ling Chi opened her eyes and walked towards the direction of the zither music.

Soon after, he saw a celestial woman playing the zither in a pavilion.

Her attire was quite elaborate and gorgeous, with a high-waisted, floor-length skirt, elegant wide sleeves, flowing gauze shawl, and even exquisite jade hairpins, showcasing the image of a charming young girl.

Ling Chi crossed his arms and looked at her with a smile.

Perhaps sensing something, the music stopped, and the girl turned around to look, but saw nothing.

The girl smiled slightly, stood up and bowed: "Mengli greets teacher."

Ling Chi dispelled his invisibility and laughed heartily: "Meng Li's harp skills have improved again. It's rare, truly rare."

"Teacher is too kind. Compared to you, Mengli's meager skills are truly insignificant," Liu Mengli said with a smile.

“You can praise her even more effusively, for example…” Ling Chi said in a high-pitched voice, mimicking Liu Mengli’s voice, “Teacher’s musical skills are unparalleled in heaven and earth, and invincible throughout the three realms.” Then, returning to her natural voice, she said, “That’s more like it!”

"..."

Liu Mengli said helplessly, "Teacher, here you go again."

"Tsk, you're not cute at all." Ling Chi shook his head, walked to the pavilion, sat on the railing, and said, "You're leaving after your birthday tomorrow, aren't you going to miss you?"

“Some.” Liu Mengli nodded and said, “My parents only have me as their daughter. If I leave, they will definitely be lonely.”

"Don't worry!" Ling Chi said, "After you go up the mountain, cultivate diligently. Once you learn to fly on a sword and travel thousands of miles in an instant, you can come back to visit anytime."

Liu Mengli's expression relaxed, and she nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher. Mengli will definitely work hard in her cultivation and not let you down."

"I have nothing to be ashamed of." Ling Chi waved his hand: "I'm so good, who dares to say I'm not good enough? I'll knock their head out. If you don't train well, you're the one who's losing face."

"..." Liu Mengli was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Teacher is truly a free and easy person."

“Whether you’re laughing and joking or frowning, it’s still a day. Since you have the ability, why not live as you please?” Ling Chi untied the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip of wine, and said, “However, I do as I please without overstepping the bounds, unlike those lawless demons and heretics.”

"Teacher is absolutely right." Liu Mengli wholeheartedly agreed: "To do as one pleases without overstepping the bounds—that must be the realm of a sage!"

"It's not that exaggerated, I just want to live more freely." Ling Chi smiled and asked, "How's your cooking coming along?"

“Mengli is already capable of creating qualified blue-grade top-tier recipes,” Liu Mengli said.

"Not bad, very good." Ling Chi nodded repeatedly. Although the ingredients in this world were of a higher quality, the fact that Liu Mengli had reached the top level of blue-grade culinary skills in just ten years showed that she was indeed very talented. She was probably comparable to Huang Rong.

With such talent, he's more than qualified for the position of fourth assistant chef.

"I have a birthday present for you now," Ling Chi said.

"I didn't expect the teacher to prepare a gift for Mengli." Liu Mengli asked expectantly, "What is it?"
