Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Ling Chi clicked his tongue, but wasn't annoyed. He looked at the chef's outfit, which was a complete set of clothes, including a hat, gloves, lining, underwear, coat, trousers, socks, and shoes, and of course, the most important apron.

It really is a set; this set is so complete.

As Ling Chi was staring at the Chef God outfit, Zhen Yuanzi woke up from his brief illusion. Although it was short, he saw the happy days he spent with his best friend.

That time was truly wonderful; it's just a pity it's gone forever.

Coming to his senses, Zhen Yuanzi saw Ling Chi looking down and playing with the wine cup. He chuckled and said, "If you like this wine cup, my dear brother, I'll give it to you."

These wine cups look ordinary, but they were actually crafted by Zhen Yuanzi from a piece of Chaos Spirit Stone. He made twelve cups in total. No matter what kind of wine is poured into them, it will absorb a trace of Chaos Spiritual Energy, thus improving the quality of the wine. However, Ling Chi's homemade wine is of extremely high quality, so it has little effect on the effects of the wine cups.

Ling Chi had thought the wine glass was nice before, but he never had any intention of taking it for himself. He never expected that today, when he was just pretending to be looking down at the wine glass while actually checking the Chef God Set, Zhen Yuanzi would give him the wine glass.

Ling Chi smiled and said, "One wine cup is too little. Brother, you should keep it for yourself!"

After arriving at Wuzhuang Temple a while ago, Ling Chi has been cooking delicious food and drinks for Zhen Yuanzi every day, making Zhen Yuanzi very happy. Just a few days ago, Zhen Yuanzi took the initiative to express his wish to become sworn brothers with Ling Chi.

Ling Chi felt he wouldn't lose out, so he became sworn brothers with Zhen Yuanzi, and from then on they addressed each other as elder brother and virtuous younger brother.

“Haha, I, your foolish brother, have crafted twelve wine cups back then, but I never used them. Since you like them, I will give them all to you as a return gift for all the delicious food I have enjoyed these past few days,” Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, brother." Ling Chi smiled broadly. "I would be too kind to refuse."

"You! Haha..."

……

In the Chef God Space, Ling Chi, dressed in the Chef God suit, stood in front of Shuang'er and the others, twirled around, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

The women nodded repeatedly: "So beautiful."

This is a set similar to a Chinese chef's outfit, with a white background and gold patterns, full of mysterious beauty. Combined with Ling Chi's own good looks, it is truly captivating.

Liu Mengli smiled and said, "They say clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse. Teacher looks very good in this outfit!"

"Mmm." Zhao Ling'er smiled and said, "It has a noble feel to it, which suits Master very well."

The women were full of praise, and even Liu An stroked his mustache and said, "Not bad, not bad, it brings out the masculine beauty of a man."

Where is the masculinity? It's clearly luxurious.

"That's wonderful, I want a suit like that too," Huang Rong said. "I'll have Meiniang make one for me later."

“I want one too,” Shang Xiuxun said.

"Then let's make one set for everyone," Shuang'er said with a smile. "To distinguish between the head chef and the assistant chef, we can make some changes to the color of the clothes."

"Mmm-hmm." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shuang'er said, "Brother's clothes are white with gold patterns, how about we change them to white with blue patterns?"

"Okay!" The women imagined the effect of a white background with blue patterns and nodded.

Ling Chi thought about it and felt it resembled blue and white porcelain, but it was quite pretty.

"You guys decide what to do. Now, I'll test the cooking effect after putting on the Chef God suit." Ling Chi picked up a kitchen knife and a piece of Bull Demon King's meat.

The crowd dispersed in a fan shape, giving Ling Chi ample space to showcase himself.

With a cleaver in hand, Ling Chi placed the beef from the Bull Demon King's meat on the cutting board. He didn't use any fancy knife skills, but rather the most basic meat-slicing technique, slicing the meat into even slices with very little variation in thickness. It wasn't that Ling Chi's knife skills were bad; if he wanted to slice this piece of beef into sufficiently even slices, he could have done so evenly than a machine. But he wouldn't do that.

Machine-sliced ​​meat is 'dead meat,' completely disregarding its natural growth patterns and slicing it into uniform pieces according to a standardized formula. Ling Chi, however, used his tens of thousands of years of experience to slice the meat according to its natural growth patterns, shaping it into the most delicious form. Inanimate objects are ultimately inanimate objects; no matter how meticulously machine-made food is prepared, it will never taste as good as handmade food.

Food is ultimately meant to be eaten, and only people know what they like to taste.

In no time, Ling Chi had sliced ​​the entire piece of beef into hundreds of slices. Then, Ling Chi began to marinate the beef. Once marinated, he heated a wok and poured in plenty of oil...

After a series of steps, a plate of nutritious and delicious cumin beef appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone's eyes widened when they saw this plate of cumin beef, which shone even brighter than ordinary diamond-colored dishes. They exclaimed in surprise, "High-grade diamond color!?"

Ling Chi smiled. It was just a simple plate of cumin beef, but he had easily made a high-end diamond-colored dish. This chef's set was indeed amazing. Every step he had taken before felt incredibly easy, even more effortless than his peak performance. It was simply an extraordinary performance.

This is the 200% bonus effect of the Chef God Set, awesome!

Unfortunately, I can only cook three dishes a day; cooking more than three dishes will have no effect.

However, three dishes a day is already very good. Once you reach the Diamond level of cooking, ingredients become scarce. Unlike other recipes, you can't have a continuous supply of ingredients. Some ingredients are even gone once you've eaten them, and you can't even cultivate them. So, being able to make three dishes a day is enough.

"It's just the most ordinary way of making cumin beef. Even though the meat of the Bull Demon King is of ordinary diamond quality, it's impossible to make it into a high-end diamond-colored dish! And looking at the color of this dish, it's almost close to the color of top-grade diamonds."

Everyone was shocked, witnessing the bonus effects of the Chef God Set for the first time.

"So this is the Chef's Set! It's amazing!"

Except for Shuang'er, almost everyone showed envy, especially Huang Rong, whose eyes were practically glowing with envy: Damn it! If I had the Chef God Set, I could make recipes that rival Brother Ling's! Ah! He's already a level above us, and now he has the Chef God Set. I'll never catch up to him in this lifetime.

Huang Rong looked utterly desperate. "The Chef God Set, you're too ruthless!"

"Brother, can only you wear this Chef God outfit? Can others wear it?" Shuang'er suddenly asked.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Huang Rong's eyes.

"Let me ask." Ling Chi immediately asked the dog system.

"Ding! Only the God of Cookery set can be worn by the God of Cookery. Others will not receive any bonus when wearing it."

After uttering the answer given by the dog system, the hope in Huang Rong's eyes vanished, and she became like a dried-up salted fish: Leave me alone, I'm just a salted fish without dreams.

"Ding, but there is also a kitchen helper set, but it only has a 150% bonus effect."

"What!?" Ling Chi exclaimed in astonishment, "How can I get the kitchen helper set?"

"Ding, the system will only issue the kitchen helper set after all 32 kitchen helpers have returned to their posts."

"..."

"Brother, what's wrong?" Shuang'er asked quickly when she saw Ling Chi suddenly staring blankly.

Ling Chi snapped out of his daze and relayed what the dog system had just said. Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with surprise: "Ah! There's even a kitchen helper set!?"

Huang Rong's eyes sparkled with the light of dreams again, and she urged, "Then Brother Ling, hurry up and recruit kitchen helpers! It doesn't matter if they're not very good at it, just fill up the kitchen helper positions first and get the kitchen helper sets first."

“Rong’er, you’re too impatient.” Ling Chi shook his head and said, “Besides Shuang’er, I’ve only recruited seven kitchen helpers in all these worlds. I’m doing this because I’d rather have fewer but better ones. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made Long’er and Yilin farmers. This principle absolutely cannot be broken.”

"But..." Huang Rong pouted, "I want to put on my kitchen helper outfit as soon as possible!"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll definitely recruit all the kitchen helpers. For example, Yang Chan, the Third Holy Mother, will be the ninth kitchen helper." He paused, then added, "Of course, that's still too slow, but I have other ideas."

"What method?" Huang Rong asked.

“Establish a chef training school.”

……

"What kind of chef training school are you talking about, my brother?" Zhen Yuanzi was a little confused after hearing Ling Chi's plan: "Is it like a school in the human world?"

“Pretty much,” Ling Chi said. “However, the scale will be much larger. I plan to recruit students from all three realms at the same time. The first batch will only recruit 500 people, who will graduate after three years. Then, after three years, I will recruit the second batch, and so on. This will not only train chefs for all three realms, but also select the best among them to serve in schools, so that it can develop in the long term.”

"I see." Zhen Yuanzi suddenly realized, and then laughed, "That's great. If we can continuously train chefs with culinary skills like you, my brother, then all living beings in the Three Realms will be in for a treat."

“That’s impossible.” Ling Chi shook his head and said, “No one can reach my culinary level.”

"..." Zhen Yuanzi took it as Ling Chi being overconfident, but didn't say anything, just smiled and let it pass.

In order to be able to enjoy delicious food even when Ling Chi is not around, Zhen Yuanzi, relying on his relationship with Ling Chi, enrolled Qingfeng Mingyue in the first batch of chef training courses.

Ling Chi felt somewhat helpless, but it was a matter of social obligation, and there was no other way.

Then Ling Chi used his magic to spread his voice throughout the Three Realms: "I am the God of Cookery of the Heavenly Court. Three years from now, on the first day of the tenth month, I will open a class to recruit disciples at the foot of Mount Hua in the Tang Dynasty territory of the Southern Continent. This time, I will only recruit five hundred people. Anyone who wants to learn unparalleled cooking skills and believes that they have culinary talent can come here to register. If there are more than the number, the final spot will be determined by cooking skills. Three years from now, on the first day of the tenth month, see you there."

This transmission of information alarmed the entire Three Realms, and not only the beings of the Three Realms, but even the most powerful figures in the Three Realms were alarmed.

Why? Because to make one's name known throughout the Three Realms, one must at least have the cultivation of a Quasi-Saint. Almost all of them knew Ling Chi and knew that when Ling Chi first became the Heavenly Court's God of Cookery, he was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal. It wasn't until several hundred years ago that he broke through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Originally, there wasn't much of a problem here. After all, breaking through from the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal was only a step away. But the problem was that without accumulating several eons of experience, it was absolutely impossible to break through from the Daluo Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint. But Ling Chi? He broke through in just a few hundred years!?

Upon witnessing Ling Chi's rapid breakthrough to Quasi-Saint level, the powerful figures of the Three Realms could no longer remain still and rushed towards Wuzhuang Temple. Since Ling Chi hadn't deliberately concealed his location when he transmitted his voice, these powerful figures naturally knew he was at Wuzhuang Temple.

"Master, the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages of the West, and the Goddess Nuwa have all arrived!"

Seeing the gatekeeper come running in a rather disheveled state to report the news, Zhen Yuanzi felt immense pressure. He said with a wry smile, "Brother, you've really gotten me into trouble this time."

Ling Chi never expected that his message would attract all the saints.

What he didn't know was that Buddha, Guanyin, the Jade Emperor, and others had originally wanted to come, but were stopped by the Six Sages, which is why only they came. As for the Jade Emperor and the others, they would have to wait until the Six Sages had met with Ling Chi.

"Guests are always welcome. I will accompany you to receive them," Ling Chi said. "The saints will not eat us, after all."

Zhen Yuanzi sighed, "There's no other way. My dear brother, please tidy yourself up. Your clothes are disheveled, which is quite improper."

With the help of Qingfeng and Mingyue, Lingchi, dressed neatly, went with Zhen Yuanzi to greet the Six Saints.

At this moment, the six saints gathered in front of the Wuzhuang Temple.

Saints are the most noble beings in the world, and there are only six saints in the entire world. But at this moment, these six saints have gathered at Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain. Strange phenomena have appeared in the world. At this moment, all the plants and animals on Longevity Mountain feel a kind of sublimation from the depths of their souls. The plants and trees have become more lush and verdant, and the insects and beasts have also become more intelligent and are rapidly evolving into spirits.

The vast Longevity Mountain was originally a rare blessed land in the Three Realms, but with the blessing of the Six Sages, it became the most prestigious blessed land in the Three Realms in a very short time, even surpassing Flower Fruit Mountain.

When Ling Chi and Zhen Yuanzi arrived at the door and saw the scene before them, the shock they felt was unimaginable.

This is a saint!?

Chapter Twenty-Two: Three Hundred Years Later

"Welcome, six sages." Zhen Yuanzi straightened his Taoist robe, stepped forward, and bowed.

The Six Saints nodded with smiles. Although Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation was not as high as theirs, his status as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals meant he could be on par with the Saints in the Three Realms, so the Six Saints would not neglect him.

"Ling Chi pays respects to the six sage seniors." Ling Chi clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the ground.

Among the six saints, apart from the two Western saints, the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were all familiar with Lingchi. In particular, Laozi's avatar, Taishang Laojun, and Nuwa's avatar, Lishan Laomu, treated Lingchi like a nephew. When Lingchi bowed deeply to greet them, their eyes were full of kindness: "No need for formalities, get up!"

Sensing the closeness between Laozi and Nuwa, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Daojun were moved and smiled, while the two Western Saints remained expressionless, their intentions unknown.

"Please, the six sages, come inside and have some tea," Zhen Yuanzi said.

The six sages nodded in agreement and walked together into the Wuzhuang Temple.

Soon, the guests and hosts were seated. Ling Chi brought out his best tea, and Zhen Yuanzi also brought out ginseng fruit to entertain the sage.

The six sages had eaten ginseng fruit many times, but the tea brewed by Lingchi with the Nine Heavens Spirit Spring actually exuded a fragrance that moved even the sages. After tasting it one by one, they all exclaimed, "What a fine tea!"

When the sage spoke, Heaven was moved and named the tea brewed with the Nine Heavens Spirit Spring "Good Tea." Afterward, the tea leaves began to shimmer with golden light of merit.
