Chef God of the Wuxia and Fantasy World

Chapter Ten: Form is Emptiness, The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains

After listening to a Wudang disciple's account, Zhang Sanfeng laughed heartily: "So that's how it is. The top ten masters get to enjoy your unparalleled delicacies. This old Daoist would like to get involved."

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Master Zhang is universally recognized as the number one person in the world, so naturally Master Zhang should also be included."

No one objected, and Ling Chi handed over a pair of chopsticks: "Please, Master Zhang."

Zhang Sanfeng chuckled, took a sniff, and was already quite intoxicated. He took a bite, and an indescribable deliciousness filled his tongue, making him feel full of energy.

"Ah!" Zhang Sanfeng groaned, suddenly feeling like he was still a young man with inexhaustible strength.

"It is indeed an unparalleled delicacy, absolutely delicious."

After wolfing down two dishes from the blue recipe book, Zhang Sanfeng let out a satisfied burp: "It's so delicious! I've lived a hundred years in a daze, only to find out that there are such delicacies in the world. Alas! I've lived in vain, in vain."

Ling Chi chuckled: "Master Zhang is too kind. I'm glad you're satisfied."

In my mind: If a man doesn't cry, a jerk will laugh...

This Zhang Sanfeng is indeed beyond the ordinary blue level; to conquer him, one must upgrade.

"Only four servings left!" Ling Chi announced loudly. "Only four servings left! This means only four more chances to enjoy this unparalleled delicacy for free. Which four experts would like to try it?"

"Amitabha." Shaolin Temple finally couldn't hold back any longer, and three monks stepped forward in one go. The abbot of Shaolin took the lead and said, "Although Shaolin does not have a number one master like Master Zhang, we have many top masters. This humble monk Kongwen, along with my junior brothers Kongzhi and Kongxing, can be considered the three of us."

Three Shaolin monks stepped forward at once, infuriating all the other sects.

Even the Wudang Sect only had one portion of Master Zhang's offering, yet your Shaolin Temple wants three portions? Have you no shame?!

Despite this, the various factions dared not speak out against it.

Just as Abbot Kongwen said, although Zhang Sanfeng is the number one person in the world, Shaolin Temple has the most top masters in the world. Moreover, twenty years ago, the abbot of Shaolin Temple was the monk Kongjian. At that time, the monk Kongjian had cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, and his martial arts were extraordinary and no less than Zhang Sanfeng's.

It's a pity that the sudden death of the monk Kongjian caused Shaolin Temple to lose a great deal of fighting power; otherwise, the number one sect in the world today would definitely not be Wudang.

When the three members of the Kong generation from Shaolin Temple stepped forward, all the other sects were speechless. Ling Chi did not hesitate and brought out three plates of "Bright Moon Over the Sea," saying with a smile, "It is a pity that the three masters can only eat half a portion each, as they are monks."

"Amitabha."

……

"Well--"

"Well--"

"Well--"

……

"Ding! Conquered the stomach of ordinary blue diner Kong Wen, conquest count +1. Dropped ordinary blue recipe - Vegetarian Delight".

"Luohan Zhai: Common blue recipe, Constitution +3. Cooldown time: 10 days."

"Ding! Conquered the stomach of ordinary blue diner Kong Zhi, conquest count +1. Dropped ordinary blue recipe - Three-Colored Lotus."

"Tricolor Lotus: Common blue recipe, True Qi +3. Cooldown time: 10 days."

"Ding! Conquered the stomach of the ordinary blue diner, emptiness. Conquest count +1. Dropped ordinary blue recipe - Form is Emptiness."

"Form is emptiness: Ordinary blue recipe, impotence for one year. Cooldown time: 10 days."

……

What the hell!

The Shaolin monks are awesome; all three of them are blue.

Especially Master Kongxing, are you trying to make everyone serve the Buddha?

Ling Chi thought that Dongfang Bubai's Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup was already very powerful, but she never expected that the real genius was Master Kongxing.

Eating his food caused him to become impotent for a year.

Needless to say, Master Kongxing definitely has kidney insufficiency and prostate problems.

Form is emptiness... This dish is unbeatable.

……

"Amitabha." The three masters were all convinced: "Young hero, you are truly the best chef in the world."

"Not at all, you three masters are too kind," Ling Chi chuckled, and said, "There's only one copy left. Do you three masters have any recommendations?"

"..."

The three masters cursed inwardly: Kid, you're putting us on the hot seat!

"Amitabha," Master Kongzhi chanted the Buddha's name, saying, "There are many masters from various schools, and we monks should not presume to speculate."

Ling Chi nodded. These bald monks were indeed cunning; they weren't fooled at all.

“Hehe, may I recommend someone?” Zhang Sanfeng suddenly interjected.

“Of course.” Ling Chi was somewhat surprised, but readily accepted: “Master Zhang is highly respected, and the person he recommends must be a top expert.”

"Hehe, I wouldn't call myself top-notch, I'm just hardworking." Zhang Sanfeng chuckled, turned to look at one person, and said, "Yuanqiao."

"Master." Song Yuanqiao stepped forward, both nervous and excited, and clasped his hands in a salute.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, turned to look at Ling Chi, and smiled, "Young friend, this is my eldest disciple, Song Yuanqiao. Although he is not very talented, he practices diligently and has made some progress. I wonder if you would like to..."

Ling Chi suddenly realized that Song Yuanqiao had come to buy his steamed buns not long ago and even ate one in front of him, but he hadn't been won over. At the time, he thought it was because the 50% probability hadn't been triggered, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Of course." Ling Chi brought out two new dishes and handed chopsticks to Song Yuanqiao: "Hero Song, please enjoy."

Song Yuanqiao thanked him repeatedly, took the chopsticks, and looked at the exquisite dishes that flashed with two blue lights. They were so beautiful that he was reluctant to eat them.

Such beautiful, art-like dishes are too good to be true; it would be a shame to eat them.

He was filled with emotion, but his stomach was rumbling with hunger, forcing him to ruin both dishes.

I used my chopsticks to break off the 'tiger head' and put it in my mouth.

"Well--"

……

"Ding! You have conquered the stomach of Song Yuanqiao, a regular blue-level diner. Conquest count +1. A regular blue-level recipe has been dropped: 'The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain'."

"The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain: Common Blue Recipe, Willpower +1. Valid uses: 3 times."

……

Oh open?

Ling Chi immediately took a look at the dish and discovered that it could actually enhance willpower!

Although it was only three times, it was still very impressive.

What is will?

Willpower is the psychological tendency of a person to consciously determine a goal, regulate and control their actions according to that goal, overcome difficulties, and achieve the predetermined objective.

That might sound a bit abstract, so let me give you a simple example.

A girl said: I want to lose weight.

Then I'm hungry in the morning, I only eat an apple for lunch, and by evening...

No, I'm so hungry, I want barbecue!

This one meal not only made up for all the calories she'd consumed that day, but it also gave her enough for the next day. And yet, she had the audacity to argue: "How can I have the energy to lose weight if I don't eat my fill?"

This is a classic example of someone who lacks willpower and deserves to be overweight.

A person with a strong will will do their utmost to achieve their goal, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be.

For example, Huawei!

The story of Yu Gong moving mountains is the best illustration of willpower!

Ling Chi looked at Song Yuanqiao with more respect.

Such a person deserves respect.

……

After Song Yuanqiao finished his two dishes, Ling Chi laid out the four plates of "Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl," which were forbidden for monks, and looked them over before finally selecting four people: "Second Hero Yu, Fifth Hero Zhang, Sixth Hero Yin, and... Female Hero Ji."

The four people whose names were called were stunned and subconsciously pointed to themselves.

"Yes, it's you four." Ling Chi nodded and said, "These four dishes are getting cold, so come and eat them!"

"This...really!?" They didn't think their martial arts skills were good enough to qualify them for this dish.

"You're not going to eat? Are you looking down on me?" Ling Chi narrowed his eyes.

“No, no!” The four immediately stepped forward.

Yu Daiyan, Zhang Cuishan, and Yin Liting were fine; the Wudang Sect members were happy for them, believing that Ling Chi's actions showed respect for the Wudang Sect. However, Ji Xiaofu drove Ding Minjun to the brink of madness with jealousy.

You slut! You slut! You slut!

Why this bitch? And not me?

Ding Minjun lowered her head, her face contorted.

Jealousy makes me ugly.

In contrast, Abbess Miejue was overjoyed. Thinking of the historical ties between the Emei Sect and Peach Blossom Island, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted: with this person by her side, the Emei Sect will surely become even more powerful.

……

"Ding ding ding ding!"

Four consecutive sounds, and the four people provided Ling Chi with 0.01 experience points.

Ling Chi: "..."

Chapter Eleven: The Extinction Visit

Having done everything he needed to do, Ling Chi packed up his stall cart and left with Shuang'er and Xiao Zhao.

He never left his name.
