Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of the top-tier gold-level diner, Zhunti. The diner's level is too low to count towards the conquest attempt. The top-tier gold-level recipe, 'Radiant Jewels,' has dropped."

"Radiant Jewels: Top-tier golden recipe, capable of sensing the location of all jewels and jade within a hundred miles. From then on, one will be radiant with jewels and jade, becoming incomparably noble. The effect cannot be stacked."

……

???

Ling Chi narrowed his eyes as he watched the skinny boy wolfing down his food.

Zhunti?

What this guy just said sounded like he was guiding someone!

As expected of one of the shameless representatives of the prehistoric world, Zhunti didn't utter a single truth from beginning to end.

No wonder it was the bamboo that changed. In the Investiture of the Gods, the Guide was actually an incarnation of a lotus. It was only because he didn't remember that that he was deceived by Zhunti. If he hadn't won over Zhunti's stomach, he really would have been fooled indefinitely.

But was Zhunti transformed from bamboo? He always thought he was from the Seven Treasures Tree!

"Ah! Truly a delicacy!" After finishing a piece of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), Zhunti's eyes lit up, and he stared at Ling Chi with lingering satisfaction: "Fellow Daoist, do you have any more?"

“It used to be.” Ling Chi kicked Lotus. “But I hate being lied to the most, don’t I? Jieyin.”

The lotus flower, having been kicked, lost two petals in pain, transforming into a gaunt boy with a sorrowful expression.

Zhunti's expression changed, and he hurriedly helped the thin boy up, asking, "Brother, are you alright?"

"It's alright." The thin young man endured the pain in his body and bowed to Ling Chi: "Fellow Daoist, please don't be angry. We were only trying to protect ourselves and did not mean to deceive you."

Ling Chi looked him over and nodded: "Don't do it again."

Both Jieyin and Zhunti breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Ling Chi turned to look at Zhunti and asked, "Is this your original form?"

Zhunti shook his head, then transformed into a chubby little boy, looking very cheerful, a stark contrast to the sorrowful face of Jieyin.

Ling Chi chuckled lightly: "No wonder you would eat my food."

Judging from her figure, she's definitely a foodie.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist." Zhunti chuckled twice and said, "Let me introduce myself again. I am Zhunti, and I greet you, fellow Daoist."

Ling Chi nodded: "I am Ling Chi, and my Taoist name is the God of Cookery."

"The God of Cookery?" Jieyin and Zhunti were stunned for a moment. After pondering the meaning, Zhunti praised, "No wonder the food you make is so delicious. After eating it, I felt a sense of physical and mental pleasure."

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, you flatter me." Ling Chi took out another roujiamo (Chinese meat sandwich) and handed it to Jieyin: "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, please have a taste as well."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Jieyin took it and saw that Zhunti was drooling with desire, so he immediately broke it in half and handed it to him: "We are brothers, half for each of us."

Zhunti was deeply moved: "Brother, isn't this... inappropriate?"

If you can't explain it well, why did you accept it so quickly?

Jieyin was speechless; his brother's desires were simply too strong.

"Brother, you eat first." Zhunti resisted the temptation of the delicious food and insisted on waiting for Jieyin to eat first before he would eat.

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Jieyin's eyes: although his desires were too strong, his respect for himself was still commendable.

Jieyin immediately took a bite.

"Well--"

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of a top-tier gold-level diner. The diner's level is too low to count towards the conquest count. A top-tier gold-level recipe, 'Guiding the Right Path,' has dropped."

"Guiding to the Right Path: Top-tier Golden Recipe, with a 50% chance to guide a being one level lower in cultivation to the right path set by the user. After being guided to the right path, the possibility of deviating from the right path is less than 0.01%. The effects cannot be stacked."

……

Upon seeing the effects of this recipe, Ling Chi pondered for a moment and suddenly realized: This must be brainwashing!

No wonder the Western religion will flourish so much in the future; it was destined to be this way from the very beginning.

Alas! If the Taoist community had even a few figures like Jieyin, it wouldn't have declined after the Investiture of the Gods, and ultimately been completely suppressed by Buddhism after its eastward spread.

Fortunately, he leaked the recipe. He can make any Taoist disciple he likes eat this dish. He's not sure he can't beat the Western Sect.

After Jieyin and Zhunti shared a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), seeing that they both looked like they wanted more, Ling Chi said, "Don't look at me, there are no more roujiamo left."

The two immediately sighed, their faces full of regret.

"We're out of roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), but we have other things." Ling Chi brought out two bowls of shredded pork with garlic sauce over rice and said, "These are all we have. Once we finish them, they're gone."

"This..." Jieyin hesitated for a moment, then said, "In that case, my brother and I are not comfortable eating it, so please put it away, fellow Daoist."

Zhunti looked regretful, but he listened to Jieyin's words and turned his head away, afraid that he would not be able to help but take another look.

Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "It's just two bowls of rice. We can make it again when we find the ingredients. If you feel bad about it, Fellow Daoist Jieyin, why don't you exchange some spiritual materials with me?"

"Spiritual material?" Zhunti's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out a green bamboo stick, saying, "This is an unusual bamboo I found in the bamboo forest. I later refined it into a bamboo stick. Holding it while cultivating can reduce troubles and is very beneficial to cultivation. Is that alright?"

"Oh?" Ling Chi looked at the emerald green bamboo stick, sensing the peculiar aura contained within it, and nodded: "Okay."

Zhun happily handed the green bamboo stick to Ling Chi, and in return received a bowl of rice.

Ling Chi held the green bamboo stick, and a cool aura surged into his body, rushing straight to his mind, making his mental state excellent. The previously chaotic thoughts were swept away and became very pure.

Ling Chi's eyes lit up: Good stuff!

He turned his head to look at the guide.

When Jieyin saw that Zhunti had even given away his own treasures to exchange for food, he thought for a moment and decided not to be stingy. So he took out a golden lotus seed and said, "This is a lotus seed that fell off from my original body. It has endless uses."

Ling Chi smiled and said, "In that case, this bowl of rice is for Fellow Daoist Jieyin."

……

While Jieyin and Zhunti were squatting to one side eating their rice bowls, Ling Chi was also studying the lotus seed. This lotus seed possessed a powerful calming aura and contained extremely pure spiritual energy. Judging by its quality alone, it was definitely at the high-grade gold level, equivalent to a Golden Immortal. Jieyin was currently only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, demonstrating that this lotus seed was an extremely rare treasure in the primordial world at this time.

But for Ling Chi, this lotus seed was nothing. He even had several innate treasures, so what was this golden immortal-level lotus seed to him?

Moreover, he discovered that the lotus seed had lost its vitality and was no longer valuable for planting on farms and ranches. What was once a precious treasure had become useless in his hands.

After much deliberation, Ling Chi sighed: This is the only way.

Ling Chi used his ability to turn beans into soldiers, transforming the golden lotus seed into a bean soldier. Because the lotus seed itself was of extremely high quality, and with the addition of Ling Chi's supernatural powers, the bean soldier, as soon as it took shape, exuded the aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. This startled Jieyin and Zhunti, who were licking their bowls, so much that their bodies stiffened, and with a clatter, both bowls fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the bowl was of good quality and did not break.

Looking at the beautiful young woman in her golden dress, Ling Chi nodded in satisfaction. Having played the game of turning beans into soldiers for so many years, this was the first time he had used such high-quality lotus seeds to make bean soldiers. After all, beans that had been transformed into soldiers could only become soldiers again, having no other use. Therefore, although Ling Chi had considered using innate spiritual treasures like round beads to make bean soldiers, he had never been willing to do so.

Until today, he finally encountered this lotus seed, which is neither edible nor worth discarding, and was able to satisfy his desire. The result was very satisfactory.

These bean soldiers are at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, they're truly unmatched.

"Golden Lotus greets Young Master." The bean-soldier woman bowed to Ling Chi, revealing a bright smile.

"..." Ling Chi broke out in a cold sweat. It was too dangerous. Luckily, it wasn't 'Golden Lotus met with the eldest son,' otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly in the future.

Ling Chi coughed lightly and said, "How come you came up with the name all by yourself?"

This is something that has never happened before. For Doubing to name himself is not just a sign of high intelligence, but rather that he was born with wisdom.

Jinlian smiled and said, "Because Jinlian is the incarnation of a golden lotus seed, I took the liberty of choosing this name. If you don't like it, young master, you can change Jinlian's name."

"Jinlian is fine." Anyway, he's not Dalang, so it doesn't matter if he's called Jinlian, Ping'er, or Chunmei.

"From now on, you will be my personal maid," Ling Chi said.

"Yes, young master." Jinlian stood obediently behind Ling Chi, her eyes filled with docility as she looked at him.

"..."

When Jieyin and Zhunti saw this scene, they were speechless.

What the hell happened? The lotus seed that was sent out actually turned into a person, and a powerful one at that, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal! Such a powerful being is only fit to be a maidservant by Ling Chi's side.

Are they out of touch with the times? Or has the world gone mad?

For a time, the two future saints were plunged into intense self-doubt from which they could not extricate themselves.

Ling Chi coughed lightly, startling the two of them awake.

"Fellow Daoists, now that this matter is settled, it is time to say goodbye."

"What!?" Seeing Ling Chi about to leave, Jieyin and Zhunti were both surprised: "Fellow Daoist, are you leaving already? Why don't you sit down and discuss the Dao with my brother?"

"No need." Ling Chi shook his head. Although you will become saints in the future, you are only Taiyi Golden Immortals now. How can you sit and discuss the Dao with me? You should cultivate for another billion years!

"I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer." Ling Chi clasped his hands in a fist salute: "May our friendship endure as long as the mountains and rivers flow on, until we meet again."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Chi and Jin Lian disappeared from the spot, leaving Jieyin and Zhunti dumbfounded.

"Spatial supernatural power! This must be spatial supernatural power!" Zhunti was extremely shocked: "This God of Cookery actually possesses such powerful supernatural power! And such profound cultivation, could it be that there are such experts everywhere outside?"

Zhunti's Dao heart was almost shattered, but fortunately Jieyin patted him on the back and introduced a gentle spiritual power into his body, soothing his shattered Dao heart. Jieyin said, "As the saying goes, there are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Brother, do not underestimate yourself. As long as you and I cultivate diligently, we will become some of the strongest in the prehistoric world sooner or later. Don't forget our beliefs."

Zhunti gradually calmed down, and his Dao heart returned to normal. Thinking of the previous crisis, Zhunti's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He then bowed deeply to Jieyin and said, "Thank you, elder brother. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my Dao heart would have collapsed."

Jieyin shook his head: "We are brothers, there's no need for that. But having witnessed the strength of those outside today, we brothers should work even harder."

"Brother is right." Zhunti said solemnly, "From now on, I will go into seclusion to cultivate. I will not emerge until I become a Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

"good."

……

Hundreds of miles away from the bamboo forest, Ling Chi and Jin Lian reappeared. Jin Lian, seeing the change in the environment, praised, "Young Master, you are truly skilled."

"It's just a trivial skill." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "You've just been born, is there anything you don't understand?"

Jinlian shook her head: "I don't know why, but after I gained consciousness, I had a good understanding of this world, as if I already knew the rules of this world."

"Is that so?" Ling Chi pondered: This must be what they call 'born with knowledge'!

The phrase "born with knowledge" is usually used to describe sages. Could it be that this golden lotus also possesses the qualities of a sage?

Turning to look at Jinlian, Jinlian blinked curiously.

Impossible, impossible.

Ling Chi shook his head inwardly. Now that he had become a bean soldier, he would never be able to improve his cultivation level in this lifetime. Although Jin Lian was a rare expert in the prehistoric world at this time, when the three races of dragon, phoenix and qilin came to power, the Great Luo Golden Immortal would be nothing. If it came to the time of the struggle between the witch and the demon and the birth of the saint, he would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant.

The primordial world is very cruel, especially after Hongjun opened his Zixiao Palace and accepted six saintly disciples. The beings of this world became puppets of the six saints, who could play with them however they pleased.
