Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Is there a difference between living beings and spirits?

Linghu Chong: "Junior Brother!?"

Yue Lingshan: "Sect Leader Junior Brother!?"

Yilin: "Senior Brother Ling!?"

Ren Yingying: "..."

Looking at the nine people he had recruited, Ling Chi smiled slightly: "You must have a lot of questions. Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."

With a thought, an oval-shaped portal, shimmering with blue light, appeared out of thin air, startling everyone.

"Don't be afraid, come with me." Ling Chi took Qu Feiyan's hand and went inside first.

The group exchanged glances and followed one after another inside.

……

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Recruiting Chen Ergou

The farm covers a thousand acres, crisscrossed by a clear river that divides it into several areas. The soil is black and incredibly fertile, and the sky is unpredictable, with sunshine and rain entirely at Ling Chi's whim.

"What fresh air!" Qu Feiyan took a deep breath and said with delight, "It has a sweet smell, so comfortable."

"It's really sweet." Yilin took several deep breaths. "Although there's no one around here, it's wonderful! It's somewhat like the blessed land Master described."

Upon hearing the words "blessed land," everyone's expressions varied, and their gazes all focused on Ling Chi.

"A blessed land? I suppose so!" Ling Chi nodded. The air here was indeed much fresher and sweeter than outside, making him feel incredibly comfortable. It was just a pity that he didn't have any cultivation techniques, so he couldn't be sure if there was any spiritual energy here.

He picked up a handful of black soil from the ground and rubbed it between his fingers; it was more fertile than he had expected.

“I know you’re all confused. I’ll tell you all the secrets now.” Brushing the dirt off his hands, Ling Chi stepped to the side and said, “Let’s talk as we walk!”

Just as everyone was about to follow, Yue Lingshan suddenly exclaimed, "Mother!?"

"Ah!?" Linghu Chong and Yilin turned their heads and saw Ning Zhongze and Feng Qingyang trying to hide in the crowd. They were immediately shocked: "Master's wife!? Uncle Feng!? You..."

Weren't you all dead?!

Ning Zhongze and Feng Qingyang knew they couldn't hide it any longer, so they both sighed and stepped forward to meet them.

"What happened?" Seeing Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan, mother and daughter, crying in each other's arms, Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong looked at each other speechlessly. Ren Yingying, who had been silent all along, walked to Ling Chi's side and asked, "Weren't Feng Qingyang and Ning Zhongze dead?"

"Yes! Senior Brother Ling, what exactly happened?" Yi Lin was also unable to calm down. The person who had been dead had suddenly come back to life. The only thing she could think of was the Bodhisattva appearing.

“They are indeed dead.” Ling Chi nodded. “The system resurrected them.”

"System?" The two women looked confused.

Ling Chi nodded and pointed to Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan: "We'll talk about it later."

……

Soon after, Ning Zhongze and Yue Lingshan calmed down. Ling Chi clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and began to recount his origins and the various events that occurred after he was possessed by the Chef God System.

As they walked and listened, their expressions changed constantly. In the end, their eyes were glazed over, and they were all lost in their own thoughts.

This information was too far-fetched for them to comprehend; it would take them some time to fully digest it.

Ling Chi did not disturb them. He had already stopped and reached out to touch the void.

An invisible barrier blocked the way, making it impossible to pass.

Ling Chi touched the membrane and slowly circled around, testing the farm's boundaries.

The area of ​​1,000 mu is very large, with a total area of ​​666,666 square meters, which is about the size of 100 football fields.

The land and rivers can be used to grow vegetables, grains, and trees, as well as raise fish, shrimp, crabs, chickens, ducks, and geese.

Ling Chi smiled; the seeds he had collected finally had a place to be planted.

but……

Looking at the martial arts masters around him, Ling Chi scratched his head: "Can they do farm work?"

I was a little worried, but it's okay.

The system comes with powerful teaching functions; as long as someone isn't born mentally challenged, they can be officially employed after a period of training. Apart from Yilin being a bit slow, everyone else here is incredibly smart, so it shouldn't be a problem.

……

"So that means..." Ren Yingying, having absorbed all the information, looked at Ling Chi and said, "From now on, we can only move around here and in the Chef God Space, and we can't get out?"

“That’s one way to understand it.” Ling Chi nodded. “Since you’ve been recruited by the system, you need to completely say goodbye to your past. Although there’s a lot of farm work here, there’s no backstabbing, no fighting, so you can live peacefully. And…”

Ling Chi smiled slightly: "As long as I don't die, you can live forever."

eternal life! ?

These two words made everyone's breath catch in their throats, their hearts race, and their complexions turn rosy.

"Of course, you can also enjoy my cooking often," Ling Chi said with a smile. "How about that? Pretty good treatment, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Even the emperor doesn't enjoy this kind of treatment.

Ling Chi smiled slightly, turned to look at Feng Qingyang and Ning Zhongze, and said, "Grandmaster Feng, Master's wife."

The two people whose names were mentioned felt a chill run down their spines and looked at him uneasily.

"Don't worry!" Ling Chi said, "I won't recruit a master. You can live here peacefully from now on!"

Upon hearing that Yue Buqun would not be recruited, the two breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Zhongze said gratefully, "Chi'er, thank you."

"You're too kind, Master's wife," Ling Chi said with a smile. "I think Senior Brother and Senior Sister would also prefer this!"

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were taken aback.

“Chong’er, Ling Shan…” Ning Zhongze and Feng Qingyang looked at them with some nervousness.

Linghu Chong sighed, a carefree smile appearing on his face: "This is good enough, after all, Father and Mother are still here, it's just that Junior Sister..."

“I’m fine.” Yue Lingshan shook her head, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but she showed understanding: “Father… is no longer Father.”

Yue Buqun's behavior since leaving the pass had already broken her heart.

"Uncle Feng... I hope you can make my mother happy." Yue Lingshan pleaded earnestly.

Feng Qingyang nodded repeatedly, looking at Ning Zhongze with a radiant face: "I will, I will."

Ning Zhongze's face flushed red, indicating that she had already freed herself from the shackles in her heart.

……

"You..." Ren Yingying walked up to Ling Chi, a hint of longing in her eyes: "Can you recruit my father?"

"I'm sorry." Faced with her request, Ling Chi wanted to agree, but could only shake his head: "Your father has never eaten my cooking, so he is not on the recruitment list."

Ren Yingying's eyes immediately dimmed.

Ling Chi couldn't bear it and said, "Let's find someone else! As long as he has eaten the food I cook."

Ren Yingying's heart stirred, and a hint of gratitude appeared in her eyes: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ren Yingying took a deep breath and thought about it carefully.

Among the people she knew who had eaten Lingchi's food, there seemed to be one who was particularly important to her.

"Can we recruit Green Bamboo Elder?" Ren Yingying's eyes were full of anticipation.

"He ate the food I cooked?" Ling Chi seemed to have no recollection of it. He had stayed in Luoyang for three days back then, but Green Bamboo Elder's name didn't seem to be on the list of conquerors.

"I've eaten it." Ren Yingying nodded repeatedly: "A year ago, in Luoyang, he bought your egg pancakes. He even... brought me a set."

Ling Chi chuckled, "I see." He paused, then added, "But his name doesn't seem to be on the conquest list... By the way, what's his real name?"

"This..." Ren Yingying was immediately embarrassed, which made Ling Chi very curious: "What's wrong?"

“Chen…Chen Ergou.” Ren Yingying’s face flushed red as she whispered, “His name is…Chen Ergou.”

"..."

The scene fell silent.

moment.

"Hahahaha..." Linghu Chong couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter: "Chen Ergou? Hahahaha... What a name, what a name. Hahahaha..."

The others couldn't help but chuckle, each secretly laughing to themselves.

Ren Yingying glared fiercely at Linghu Chong, who immediately stopped laughing, turned around, and his shoulders twitched.

Ren Yingying took a deep breath and made a mental note of this grudge.

Ling Chi coughed twice and said, "Don't worry, let me check."

"Hmm." Ren Yingying watched nervously as he brought up the screen and searched for the name Chen Ergou.

Soon, the name appeared among the white-clad high-class diners.

"Found it." Ling Chi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Chen Ergou, right?"

Ren Yingying stood beside him, and an indescribable sweet fragrance wafted over him, making his heart beat faster.

“It’s him.” Ren Yingying nodded repeatedly: “He is Green Bamboo Elder.”

"Alright." Without making a sound, Ling Chi took two steps away from Ren Yingying and said, "Recruit Chen Ergou!"

"Chen Ergou, White-class High-class Diner, Attribute: Living Being. Recruitment successful."

A flash of white light, and Green Bamboo Elder appeared before everyone.

The moment she saw him, Ren Yingying's eyes flashed with intense joy: "Nephew Zhu!"

Green Bamboo Elder's calm expression showed a hint of surprise: "Aunt?"

"..."
