After walking a distance, Shuang'er asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Let's go back to Peach Blossom Island first," Ling Chi said. "We got six blue recipes this time, so let's max out their completion rate first."

Shuang'er nodded.

The completion rate of blue recipes is very difficult to improve. Ling Chi spent a whole year to bring both "Bright Moon Over the Sea" and "Dragon's Roar and Tiger's Howl" to 100% completion. If you include the 10x speedup from the Chef God Space, it took about five or six years.

With six blue recipes, you won't be able to leave Peach Blossom Island for the next three years.

……

Ling Chi came and went in a hurry, leaving behind only the legend of being the world's number one chef. Although the details changed, the overall direction did not deviate.

Forced by various factions, Zhang Cuishan ultimately committed suicide due to the feud between his wife and his third senior brother. Yin Susu, heartbroken, hugged her son, uttered some words about "beautiful women not being trustworthy," and then stabbed herself to death.

None of the factions made things difficult for a single child, and they withdrew.

"Green Mountain!" Zhang Sanfeng cried, tears streaming down his face.

His 100th birthday celebration thus came to a close.

Fortunately, Zhang Wuji survived.

But Zhang Sanfeng's joy was short-lived. Perhaps due to the damage to his foundation caused by the Xuanming True Qi, Zhang Wuji's body became extremely weak, and his condition deteriorated year by year. This both shocked and angered Zhang Sanfeng.

"The Crane-Pen Elder! The Deer-Staff Guest!"

Even though the Xuanming True Qi was dispelled, the cold had already damaged his foundation. If it weren't for Zhang Sanfeng's profound internal strength, which kept prolonging Zhang Wuji's life, Zhang Wuji probably wouldn't have lived past eighteen.

Zhang Sanfeng hated it!

He hated the Xuanming Elders for poisoning Zhang Wuji! He hated his own incompetence for not being able to protect his disciple and his wife! He hated even more that he couldn't even alleviate his grand-disciple's suffering, even after passing on the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, it could only provide slight relief.

Seeing Zhang Wuji grow older but his complexion getting worse, Zhang Sanfeng wished he could take his place.

"Wuji, he's still a child!"

Why would God treat a child like this?

From then on, Zhang Sanfeng took Zhang Wuji on a journey to seek medical treatment and medicine.

……

Ling Chi didn't care about this. Not long after he left Wudang Mountain, he noticed that the names of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu on the list had changed from "living spirit" to "yin spirit".

After returning to Peach Blossom Island, he recruited the two men as farmers.

In the Chef's Space, after learning the whole story, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were both stunned.

They never dreamed they would encounter such a fantastical event, and Zhang Cuishan never imagined that Yin Susu would commit suicide for him. Moved and filled with guilt, he also scolded her a few times: "What will happen to Wuji if you die?"

Yin Susu just smiled and asked in return, "What will happen to Wuji if you die?"

Zhang Cuishan was speechless.

Whether it's outsmarting each other or arguing, he can never win against Yin Susu.

Ling Chi found it amusing and comforted her, saying, "All the past events are just fleeting memories. Since you have been reborn, don't dwell on what happened before. Live a good life on the farm, raising pigs and farming is quite nice."

Upon hearing the words "raising pigs and farming," Yin Susu couldn't help but chuckle: "What a joke you made back then, young hero, has unexpectedly come true." Looking at Zhang Cuishan with deep affection, she said, "From now on, I'll feed the pigs, and you can farm the land, how about that?"

Zhang Cuishan sighed and pulled Yin Susu into his arms: "I'm sorry you had to go through this."

Yin Susu hugged him tightly and said affectionately, "Being with Fifth Brother, I feel no resentment at all."

"..."

They're showing off their love again!

Ling Chi said irritably, "What's wrong with raising pigs and farming? Countless people would beg for that kind of job."

"..." The two smiled awkwardly and followed Ling Chi into the farm, beginning a brand new life.

……

Ling Chi thought that after returning to Peach Blossom Island, he would have at least three years of peaceful life, but unexpectedly, just two months after returning, an uninvited guest came to his door.

"The Emei Extinction has come uninvited; please, Island Master, show yourself."

That morning, Ling Chi was preparing lunch when she heard Abbess Miejue knocking on the door from outside the island. Her voice echoed endlessly, demonstrating the depth of her martial arts skills.

"Why is Abbess Miejue here?" Ling Chi was a little surprised and called over Little Mouse and Little Cow: "Go and welcome the guest in."

"Yes."

The twelve maids have been on Peach Blossom Island for eight years. The youngest is twenty-two years old, but they look like beautiful young women in their late teens.

These are all benefits of the longevity fish. Not only can longevity fish extend lifespan, but they can also promote beauty and maintain youthful appearance.

When the twelve maids first arrived, they were all pale and thin, but now they are all radiant and no less beautiful than Yue Lingshan.

Poor Yue Lingshan, her looks are outstanding even in the world of Swordsman, but she's the lowest tier in the farm, only comparable to Chunxiang and the other eight.

Fortunately, Ling Chi isn't someone who judges by looks... well, not really.

……

"Young master, the guests have arrived."

Soon after, the mouse and the calf brought Abbess Miejue into the living room, bowed, and reported to her.

Ling Chi glanced at the newcomer and confirmed that it was indeed Abbess Miejue.

She was still dressed in the same outfit as before, but unlike her previous fierce and domineering demeanor, Abbess Miejue now had a kind expression and even a hint of restraint, making her completely different from before.

Ling Chi nodded and said, "Bring some tea and snacks."

"Yes."

After the two left the living room, Ling Chi greeted Abbess Miejue: "It's been a while, Abbess, you're as charming as ever. I just don't know what brings you here today?"

Abbess Miejue came here alone; her purpose was certainly not pure.

Instead of answering his question, Miejue asked, "Young hero, is your surname Huang?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Ling Chi shook his head: "My surname is Ling, the Ling of soaring ambition."

"Ling?" Abbess Miejue looked bewildered. Among the people associated with Peach Blossom Island, was there anyone with the surname Ling?

"Master, there's no need to overthink it." Ling Chi smiled slightly. "Some things don't need to be explained too clearly."

Abbess Miejue nodded thoughtfully, "Young Master Ling is right. I was being too attached to appearances."

"Young master, the tea and snacks are here." The little mouse and the little calf came in carrying a tray and placed the tea and snacks on the small table.

"Go down!" Ling Chi waved his hand.

"Yes." The two maids withdrew.

Ling Chi chuckled and said, "Please sit down, nun, and try some of the tea and snacks from Peach Blossom Island."

Abbess Miejue nodded and took a seat: "This humble nun has disturbed you."

At Ling Chi's urging, Abbess Miejue sampled the tea and snacks. After tasting them, she couldn't help but exclaim, "What wonderful tea and snacks! What a treat! The food on Peach Blossom Island is truly exceptional!"

Ling Chi smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Master."

He paused, then asked again, "May I ask what brings you here, Abbess?"

Abbess Miejue paused, put down her teacup, and asked with a hint of solemnity and anticipation, "Young Master Ling, do you know Xie Xun's whereabouts?"

"..."

Ling Chi smiled and said, "Why don't you ask Zhang Cuishan and his wife, Master, but instead ask me?"

Abbess Miejue shook her head: "To be honest, Zhang Cuishan and his wife have already committed suicide."

"Oh?" Ling Chi said calmly.

Abbess Miejue's eyes flashed: "Young Master Ling doesn't seem surprised?"

"Hehe." Ling Chi shook his head: "Back then, when all the sects gathered at Wudang Mountain, wasn't it precisely to force Zhang Wuxia to his death?"

"Young Master Ling must have misunderstood," Abbess Miejue quickly explained. "We simply want to know Xie Xun's whereabouts..."

"You want to know the whereabouts of the Dragon Slayer Saber, don't you!" Ling Chi interrupted her.

Abbess Miejue opened her mouth, but had no words to reply.

Ling Chi smiled faintly and took a sip of hot tea.

Comfortable!

After a moment of silence, Abbess Miejue said, "Young Master Ling should have heard the saying, 'The supreme martial arts weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, commands the world, none dare disobey; without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can contend with it?'"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ling Chi smiled disdainfully: "The people in the martial arts world are really adorably foolish. They treat even such malicious rumors as imperial decrees, and one after another they risk their lives to rush forward... How naive."

"..."

Chapter Twelve is being opened incorrectly.

Abbess Miejue took a deep breath and said, "It seems that Young Hero Ling does indeed know the secrets of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

"It's nothing more than the Nine Yin Manual and the Military Treatise of Yue Fei," Ling Chi said calmly. "Doesn't the Abbess know that too?"

Upon hearing Ling Chi reveal the secret, Abbess Miejue finally relaxed, realizing she had found the right person.

“In that case, I will no longer conceal it.” Abbess Miejue nodded and said, “Actually, it was I who spread this rumor.”

"That's not important." Ling Chi waved his hand, showing no interest in such matters of the martial world: "Master wants the Dragon-Slaying Saber because she wants to clash it with the Heaven-Reliant Sword, and then produce the Nine Yin Manual and the Military Treatise of Yue Fei!"

"As expected, you can't hide it from Young Hero Ling." Abbess Miejue nodded and said, "Now the Yuan court is becoming more and more tyrannical, and the people are living in constant fear. It is time for a new leader to stand up and resist the tyranny of the Yuan court in this chaotic world."

"So, Abbess has already found a suitable candidate?" Ling Chi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Abbess Miejue to have such thoughts. Why didn't we see this in the original story?

"No, not at all." Abbess Miejue shook her head and said, "This humble nun is simply giving the people of the world a chance. As long as the tyrannical Yuan court can be overthrown and the Han people can live with dignity, it doesn't matter who it is."

Ling Chi's expression changed, and she clasped her hands in a fist and said, "I didn't expect the nun to be so concerned about the country and its people. I was just being superficial."

"Young Master Ling flatters me. I am unworthy of such praise." Abbess Miejue shook her head repeatedly. "I am not without selfish motives. The Wumu Legacy can certainly be entrusted to the world, but the Nine Yin Manual... my Emei Sect will not shirk its responsibility."

“That’s only right.” Ling Chi nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Then..." Abbess Miejue asked impatiently, "Young Master Ling, could you tell me Xie Xun's whereabouts?"
