Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Besides his good looks, this person possessed an extraordinary demeanor, with an indescribable charm in every movement, bringing a sense of delight and pleasure to all the nine-tailed fox clan members.

After the newcomer stopped, he smiled and clasped his hands in greeting: "Ling Chi, a rogue cultivator, greets the clan leader and elders."

"No need for formalities." Zhang from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was the first to react and quickly said, "May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Ling Chi here?"

"Nothing more than coming here to save the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan," Ling Chi said with a smile.

"Oh?" All the elders were whispering among themselves, wondering what Ling Chi was capable of that dared to speak so arrogantly.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief said, "I would like to hear the details."

“The White Tiger Clan is one of the most powerful races in the primordial world, while the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is even more adept at strategy and charm. Logically speaking, if they could unite with the White Tiger Clan, with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan providing advice and the White Tiger Clan expanding their territory, that would be the ideal situation.” Seeing that everyone in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan seemed to be deep in thought, Ling Chi changed the subject and said, “But the White Tiger Clan is brave but lacks strategy, and they don’t treat weaker races that they rely on well. I’m afraid that after the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan surrenders and becomes dependent on them, they will become playthings of the White Tiger Clan.”

At this point, Ling Chi looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief and smiled, "After all, both men and women in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan are beautiful. Given the vulgarity of the White Tiger Clan, how could they possibly cherish women?"

These words caused all the Nine-Tailed Foxes present to frown, as this was precisely the problem they were worried about. Over the years, relying on their considerable strength and exceptional intelligence, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan had conquered a territory spanning tens of millions of miles around Qingqiu Mountain. However, many neighboring races still harbored ill intentions towards them, simply because the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan members were too beautiful.

Over the years, young members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would occasionally 'disappear'. In fact, all the clan members knew the final outcome, but because the enemy was in the dark while they were in the light, and the number of clan members who disappeared was not large, they had kept quiet about it.

This is how the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan always behaves when it is powerful. If it were to truly submit to the White Tiger Clan, the future fate of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would be predictable.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief rose and walked to Ling Chi, bowing respectfully: "Please teach me, Fellow Daoist Ling."

"You're too kind, Chieftain," Ling Chi said. "My solution is simple: set up a large array within a radius of ten thousand miles around Qingqiu Mountain to keep all clans with ulterior motives out of the array. However, in return, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan needs to abandon its ambition to dominate the prehistoric world and be content to be a reclusive race."

"This..." The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief frowned slightly.

"Easy for you to say." An elder of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan sneered, "What kind of grand formation can protect an area of ​​ten thousand miles? Even if we don't set up the grand formation, how can we withstand the attack of the White Tiger Clan? If all the members of my Nine-Tailed Fox clan are within this ten thousand-mile radius, wouldn't we be wiped out if the grand formation is broken?"

These words expressed the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief's concerns and also caused great anxiety among the other elders.

Ling Chi smiled faintly: "I am not very talented, but I am most skilled in the art of array formations. As long as there are enough materials for setting up an array, what difficulty is there in not only covering a radius of ten thousand miles, but even the entire prehistoric world?"

"What arrogance!" Elder Nine-Tailed Fox laughed angrily. "If you truly have such ability, then set up a defensive array within a radius of ten thousand miles of my Qingqiu Mountain. If the array is successful, I will kowtow to you and apologize. But if you don't have such ability, then please leave! My Qingqiu Mountain does not welcome liars!"

"Second Elder, please don't do this." The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief advised, then bowed to Ling Chi: "My clansmen have been rude, I hope Fellow Daoist Ling will not take offense."

Ling Chi shook his head and said, "I know that the Second Elder is also worried about the clansmen and will not blame me. Moreover, the defensive formation I mentioned is only a last resort. If you do not accept it, I have a middle and a better strategy."

"Oh?" The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief hurriedly asked, "What is the middle strategy? And what is the best strategy?"

"The best course of action is to leave Qingqiu Mountain and go to a remote place to live," Ling Chi said.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief immediately shook his head: "My Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was born in Qingqiu Mountain, and we cannot bear to leave our homeland. What is the best solution?"

“The best course of action is…” Ling Chi smiled slightly: “If the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan submits to me, I will protect them.”

"What!?" The elders of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan were shocked and furious. The Second Elder then launched into another tirade: "What right do you have to speak so arrogantly!"

Although the other elders didn't say anything, they frowned and stared at Ling Chi with unfriendly expressions, clearly regarding him as someone with ill intentions. At this moment, only the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief remained calm enough. Seeing that Ling Chi's expression was indifferent and showed no evil, a thought struck him, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Ling, can you truly protect my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?"

"As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. I will make you all believe that I have this ability." As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chi released all his magical power. The aura of the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, which was infinitely close to that of a Saint, covered the entire territory of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Faced with such an aura, tens of millions of Nine-Tailed Fox Clan members all had their knees buckle and knelt on the ground.

Although the elders and clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan who were closest to the front had the highest cultivation levels, they were unable to withstand such a powerful aura because of their proximity. They all prostrated themselves, feeling overwhelmed and unable to breathe.

The aura lasted only three seconds. After three seconds, Ling Chi withdrew his aura, looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's highest leadership, who were as docile as quails, and asked, "I wonder if I have that ability?"

"Senior!" The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief grabbed Ling Chi's leg and said shamelessly, "Please protect my Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Senior. My Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is willing to follow you for eternity."

The other Nine-Tailed Fox elders also knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Please, senior, protect our Nine-Tailed Fox clan."

Faced with absolute power, all nobility and arrogance are worthless pieces of paper. The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, as the most intelligent race in the entire prehistoric world, knows best how to make choices.

If Ling Chi hadn't appeared, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would most likely have submitted to the White Tiger Clan. Although their future would have been miserable, misery was better than death. Now that Ling Chi, a cultivator even more terrifying than the White Tiger Clan, had appeared, and seeing that he was relatively gentle towards his own people, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief and elders would naturally make the most advantageous choice.

"..." Seeing the nine-tailed fox clan members who were previously unconvinced and resentful wagging their tails in front of him like dogs, Ling Chi shook his head inwardly and said, "Get up! Since you have submitted to me, I will protect the nine-tailed fox clan."

"Thank you, senior." All the nine-tailed fox clan members breathed a sigh of relief and stood up one after another, but the nine-tailed fox clan leader still held Ling Chi's leg, with a hint of flirtatiousness in his eyes: "Senior, please take a seat, let Meixi massage your legs."

"..." Ling Chi was slightly taken aback upon hearing the name of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief.

Meixi? That name... is interesting.

……

Since he had decided to protect the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Ling Chi took out some delicacies and first let Mei happy and the elders eat them, and then spread them from top to bottom so that more members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan could enjoy the food.

Conquering the stomachs of these nine-tailed foxes would at least guarantee that the nine-tailed fox clan would not be in mortal danger.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has tens of millions of members from top to bottom. Ling Chi brought out a large amount of his stockpile and finally conquered the stomachs of all the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan members. In the process, he also revealed tens of millions of recipes.

These recipes are all completely new and have never been heard of before. They do not belong to any cuisine. In fact, since Ling Chi entered the world of immortals and heroes, very few recipes related to Earth have been revealed. Almost every recipe after the red level involves mysterious power, otherwise the recipe level would drop by at least one major level.

After confirming that all the Nine-Tailed Foxes had consumed the recipe, Ling Chi created some statues and tablets related to himself, which the Nine-Tailed Foxes worshipped day and night. This increased the Nine-Tailed Foxes' luck by 10 points, naturally preventing them from facing many crises. In addition, Ling Chi also created a circular valley along the vast border of Qingqiu Mountain, turning the Nine-Tailed Foxes' territory into a basin, and set up a no-fly barrier above Qingqiu Mountain.

In this way, if foreign tribes want to attack the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, they must launch a strong attack on the defensive fortifications built against the mountains. Unless the strength of the foreign tribes exceeds that of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan by more than ten times, they can expect to suffer a crushing defeat!

When Ling Chi accomplished all this, the entire Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was stunned, followed by endless worship and fervent offerings to him. Offerings to Ling Chi did indeed improve their luck, unlike those who didn't. As a result, no one in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan doubted the benefits of offerings to Ling Chi. Ling Chi also gained a large amount of faith power, which, although not of much use to him, was better than nothing.

With Ling Chi's protection, the White Tiger Clan, who were originally planning to attack the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of Qingqiu Mountain, were suddenly caught off guard. They discovered that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's territory had become a no-fly zone. If they wanted to attack the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, they would have to launch a strong attack on those passes built against the mountains that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. After launching two or three strong attacks, they found that their own people had suffered heavy losses while the enemy had not suffered any damage. Even though the White Tiger Clan was furious, they dared not launch another strong attack.

After the battle report came back, Meixi and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and became even more attentive to Ling Chi. Meixi knew very well that as long as she clung to this powerful figure, her Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would no longer have to worry about safety. Moreover, Ling Chi was so gentle and handsome; if she could serve him at his side all the time, she would definitely receive many benefits from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

For the sake of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Meixi is willing to sacrifice and dedicate everything she has.

With Meixi's attentive service, Lingchi stayed in Qingqiu Mountain for a thousand years. During this time, Lingchi also found some rare but not very high-quality ingredients throughout the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's territory, so he had some gains.

A thousand years later, the White Tiger clan, unable to conquer the Nine-Tailed Fox clan after a long siege, abandoned their attack and instead expanded in other directions. Seeing that the crisis for the Nine-Tailed Fox clan had been resolved, Ling Chi rode Fatty away from Qingqiu Mountain.

Before leaving, Meixi was extremely reluctant to part: "Master, when will you come back?"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Even if it's hundreds of millions of miles away, I will appear whenever the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan faces a crisis. You should take good care of your people and diligently cultivate the immortal techniques I have taught you, so that you can become a Quasi-Saint as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master." Meixi watched Ling Chi's departing figure, her aura gradually changing, transforming back into that of the supreme Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief. "Invite the Ten Elders to the hall for a meeting!"

"Yes, Chieftain!"

……

After leaving the Qingqiu Mountain territory, Ling Chi recreated the Golden Lotus, which had not appeared for a thousand years. Unlike ordinary bean soldiers who would lose their previous memories, the Golden Lotus did not have this flaw. As soon as it appeared, it knelt down in front of Ling Chi with a smile on its face: "It's been a thousand years since we last met. How have you been, young master?"

"Very good." Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Would it help if I placed you in the Three Lights Divine Water to nourish it?"

"It's a great help." Jinlian smiled radiantly: "Jinlian's current qualities are even better than they were a thousand years ago."

Ling Chi observed for a moment and found that, as expected, although Jin Lian had been a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the past, she was only at the early stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal at most, while Jin Lian had now reached the middle stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

She only advanced one minor level in a thousand years, which shows that the Three Lights Divine Water truly had a significant effect on her. However, given the quality of the Three Lights Divine Water, it's not particularly praiseworthy that she only advanced one minor level after a thousand years of soaking; it's just average.

"This young master is about to travel around the prehistoric world again, and I need someone to serve me. You will serve me for a while, and after I finish my journey, you can go back to soak," Ling Chi said.

"Jinlian will serve you wholeheartedly, young master." Jinlian walked behind Ling Chi, knelt down, let him rest his head on her soft thighs, and ran her hands through his hair to give him acupressure.

Ling Chi comfortably closed her eyes, embarking on a brand new journey.

……

Time is like a husky; it disappears in the blink of an eye.

Since leaving Qingqiu Mountain, several eons have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, the three strongest races of the primordial world have finally been determined: the sea race led by the dragon race, the birds led by the phoenix race, and the beast race led by the qilin race.

After countless eons of expansion, these three races each ruled over the ocean, the sky, and the land. Through their efforts, the earliest savage beasts in the prehistoric world were almost completely wiped out. As a result, the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit, elevating the patriarchs of the three races to the level of Quasi-Saints. Thus, the three races dominated the entire prehistoric world and became the first protagonists in the universe.

However, after the three races ruled the prehistoric world, the patriarchs of the three races had a heavenly maxim in their hearts: "Unify the prehistoric world and attain sainthood through destiny."

Because of this proverb, friction gradually arose among the three races that had previously coexisted harmoniously, as each race wanted to compete for the opportunity to become a saint, and given their current strength and scale, it was impossible for them to back down on their own.

Thus, the first great calamity of the primordial world began.

Chapter Thirteen: The Struggle for the Opportunity to Become a Saint

Yujing Mountain, Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun finished the bowl of Dragon and Phoenix Soup and sighed with delight: "Although I have drunk it many times, it is always incredibly delicious. Fellow Daoist Chef's culinary skills are truly unparalleled in the world."

"Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you flatter me." Ling Chi played with the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls, which he had been given as a reward, while his mind was filled with thoughts of Zhao Gongming and Randeng.

If I remember correctly, these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were Zhao Gongming's magic weapon during the Investiture of the Gods period. With this weapon, Zhao Gongming injured five of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect: Chi Jingzi, Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Dao Xing Tianzun, and Lingbao Dafashi. They were extremely powerful.

Unfortunately, it was later destroyed by the Falling Treasure Coin and fell into the hands of the two immortals, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. After Xiao Sheng died, Cao Bao took it and presented it to Daoist Ran Deng, where it became Daoist Ran Deng's weapon and the Buddha-proving Pearl. He used this treasure to defeat Tongtian Jiaozhu in the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and to kill Jinling Shengmu in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Later, the Taoist Ran Deng surrendered to the Western Paradise, and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl transformed into the Twenty-Four Devas, helping Ran Deng achieve enlightenment as one of the Seven Buddhas of the Past in Buddhism, the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng.

While Ling Chi was playing with them, he discovered that the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls could emit five-colored light, dazzle the enemy's five senses, and possess immense power, like the power of the four seas. No wonder Randeng was able to knock Tongtian Sect Leader to the ground with this treasure in hand.

This time, the takeout order was replaced with this set of top-grade innate spiritual treasures. I made a huge profit.

Hongjun casually washed the bowls and chopsticks, put them in his sleeve, and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Chef know Rahu?"

“Luo Hou?” Ling Chi looked at him and said, “I know him. This kid used to try to steal my things, but I beat him up and ended up taking his spear instead, hahaha.”

"..." Hongjun almost snotted out, seemingly unable to imagine that Luo Hou had such a grudge against Ling Chi, and even more unable to imagine that Luo Hou would try to steal someone's things but ended up losing everything, losing both his wife and his army.

Although Hongjun had always felt that Lingchi's cultivation was unfathomable, he never imagined that Lingchi's cultivation was so high that even Luo Hou, whose strength was similar to his, was no match for him.

If you, the God of Cookery, harbor ill intentions towards me...

Hongjun was sweating profusely, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chef was not a villain like Rahu.

"Now, the three races are vying for the position of overlord of the primordial world, and countless people will surely be killed. Luo Hou cultivates the path of destruction, and will surely take the opportunity to destroy the three races, and even the primordial world, to prove the fruit of the Dao of Destruction. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chef God would be willing to join me in stopping his evil deeds?"

Hongjun originally thought that Lingchi would not agree easily, and had prepared a variety of excuses, even willing to pay a certain price for it. Unexpectedly, Lingchi agreed without thinking: "No problem. I have long disliked Luo Hou. If I had known that his purpose was to destroy the prehistoric world, I should have killed him back then."

"..." Hongjun swallowed hard and forced a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chef is indeed a man of character. It is a blessing for the righteous path to have Fellow Daoist Chef!"

Ling Chi waved his hand: "It's nothing. Fellow Daoist, do you know where Luo Hou is hiding?"

"Could it be the God of Cookery?" Hongjun was slightly startled.

Ling Chi nodded: "Eliminate evil completely, and it's better to do so sooner rather than later."

"..." Hongjun quickly stopped him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Chef, there's no need to be in such a hurry. The time is not yet right. When the time comes, I will inform you, and then we can eliminate Rahu together, how about that?"

"Oh?" Ling Chi glanced at Hongjun, seemingly lost in thought. "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, your motives aren't simple, are they?"

"..." Hongjun chuckled twice and said, "To be honest, Rahu was the tribulation for me to prove my Dao. If I hadn't personally taken action, this tribulation would not have been valid, and I would not have been able to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit."

"I see." Ling Chi smiled enigmatically. "In that case, why does Fellow Daoist Hongjun need my help?"

“I am only doing this as a precaution,” Hongjun said. “If I am no match for Rahu, I would be grateful if you could lend me your assistance.”

Ling Chi understood that Hongjun and Luo Hou had different paths, yet they were vying for the sole Hunyuan Dao Fruit. Regardless of who it was, one of them was destined to die, and in order to survive, they would do everything in their power to eliminate the other.

Following the typical formula of prehistoric fantasy novels, Luo Hou's method was to strengthen himself and use the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to deal with Hong Jun. Hong Jun's method, however, was to invite other fellow Daoists to help him, relying on sheer numbers to gang up on Luo Hou and ultimately win and prove his Dao.

Because of his unwillingness to accept defeat, Rahu detonated the entire Western spiritual vein, turning the Western world into the most desolate place in the entire prehistoric world. This enormous karmic consequence was placed on Hongjun, forcing him to offer two holy positions to compensate the West and arrange for the future prosperity of the West, all to repay the karmic debt.
