Since that night's commotion, Tong Pak Fu has been getting along better and better in the Hua Residence.
First, he became a study companion for Hua Wen and Hua Wu.
After the schoolteacher with the "Azure Dragon on the Left and White Tiger on the Right" was unexpectedly killed by Grand Tutor Hua, he was promoted one level by a twist of fate and became a senior study companion.
During this period, Tong Pak Fu was riding high and everything went smoothly.
His relationship with Qiuxiang has also made some progress.
As for Ling Yi, ever since you broke the rule of ten people sharing the meal.
Occasionally, she would cook a lavish meal to satisfy everyone's palates, which naturally elevated her status in Hua Residence, D. C.
His reputation spread at an extremely rapid pace.
Many people in the Jiangnan region know that the Hua Residence has a master chef.
Some say that eating a single bite of the God of Cookery's food can add ten years to one's lifespan, while others say it can directly Ascension to immortality.
In short, the more it was spread, the more bizarre and outrageous it became.
However, while Ascension to immortality is impossible, extending one's lifespan is achievable.
Moreover, Ling Yi discovered that as his reputation as a culinary master grew, his cultivation speed also increased.
If one day was equivalent to a hundred days before, now one day is equivalent to a thousand days, or even several thousand days.
This " Qi Ingestion- absorbing" cultivation method is truly terrifying. Ling Yi's Magic Power is increasing almost every day, growing incredibly fast.
Unfortunately, this " Qi Ingestion " method is not something that just anyone can practice; only those with a divine rank can cultivate the " Qi Ingestion " Dharma School.
However, divine status is conferred by investiture, not earned through cultivation.
Without official appointment, there is no rank; without rank, one cannot cultivate.
But it doesn't matter. With Ling Yi's current Magic Power, he can still make anyone free from all diseases, strengthen their body, maintain their youth, and add hundreds of years to their lifespan.
Therefore, Ling Yi's current strength is sufficient for the short term.
With Ling Yi's current abilities, Ling Yi could practically roam freely in most of Master Sing's film universes.
Madam Hua and her group benefited greatly from Ling Yi's culinary skills.
The most obvious change is that Hua Wen and Hua Wu have returned to normal, and because of this, Madam Hua and her family are even more respectful to Ling Yi.
Madam Hua's cultivation level broke through to a higher realm, reportedly reaching the Innate Realm.
Although Grand Tutor Hua had lost his Kung Fu Hustle, he had become younger, and his hair and beard had turned completely black.
Not to mention Madam Hua, the two of them now look like middle-aged people under forty.
It's no wonder that people have been praising Ling Yi's culinary skills as increasingly legendary.
Another two weeks have passed.
That afternoon, Ling Yi was discussing martial arts with Madam Hua.
Ling Yi was still very curious about the martial arts of this world.
"Practicing martial arts is very difficult. It requires not only talent but also a lot of resources. I practiced for more than forty years and consumed a lot of rare and precious materials before I reached the Acquired Realm."
Madam Hua said with a sigh.
Even so, my the Final Master calls me a genius. Without your help, this Peak Acquired Realm would already be the Limit of my talent.
"Martial arts are divided into Acquired, Innate, Master, and Grandmaster. It is said that above the Grandmaster, there is the Extreme Realm Master. However, the Innate is already the pinnacle, and the Master has long been Legend."
" The Extreme Realm Master is only mentioned in fragmentary records; no one has ever actually seen one."
"I have a Wind-Chasing Steps and a Illusory Spirit Sword Technique here, both of which cultivate both internal and external Kung Fu Hustle. If you wish to learn them, you may take them."
As she spoke, Madam Hua took out three martial arts manuals with old-fashioned covers from her sleeve.
"But these mundane martial arts techniques are probably useless to you, aren't they?"
Ling Yi laughed and said, "Just doing some research out of Bored."
Madam Hua asked curiously, "What kind of path do you take? Is it some kind of Daoist School esoteric art?"
"Do Daoist School esoteric arts still exist in this world?"
No, I was just guessing!
"You're just guessing, yet you're speaking so seriously?"
"Just making wild guesses with a straight face!" Madam Hua laughed.
Ling Yi scoffed and began to peruse Madam Hua's two martial arts manuals.
But I can't understand it.
Ling Yi had never encountered meridians, Dantian, or acupoints before, so it would be strange if he could understand them. Therefore, Ling Yi decided to humbly ask questions.
"What is this Dantian?"
Ling Yi's first question immediately made Madam Hua's eyebrows nearly fly off, and she said speechlessly, "You really haven't had any exposure to martial arts at all?"
"Never encountered this before!"
"Then where did you acquire all these skills?" Madam Hua asked again.
"This can't be explained now, but it will be revealed in full after everything is over!"
Once the storyline concludes, Ling Yi will reveal everything directly; not now!
"Alright, a big meal tonight!" Madam Hua seized the opportunity to make her demands.
"No problem, whatever you'd like to eat, just prepare the ingredients in advance!"
"Hehe, I'll have to think about it carefully then."
Although Ling Yi is cooking more frequently now than before, he doesn't eat it every day or at every meal.
After eating the food cooked by Ling Yi himself, eating anything else really felt like a comparison – there's no harm in comparing them.
Moreover, the food Ling Yi makes has all sorts of miraculous effects; it's probably no better than any elixir of immortality.
Having received Ling Yi's promise, Madam Hua was quite satisfied and began to explain things to Ling Yi step by step.
Where is the Dantian? What are the different types of meridians? How many acupoints are there and how are they classified? How do you refine essence into qi and condense Internal Energy?
They were thorough in every aspect, attending to every detail.
One taught diligently, and the other listened attentively. From day to night, Ling Yi gained a comprehensive understanding of the Body Refining of this world.
In addition, Ling Yi already possesses an extraordinary memory, capable of remembering Photographic Memory he sees, and has a Swiftness mind.
I've decided to try it tonight and see if I can cultivate.
"Remember, intention comes first, then qi. Guide qi with intention, and once qi condenses in the Dantian, you've Entry. After that, it's much simpler."
"Thank you very much for your guidance, Madam Hua. I am deeply grateful."
"I'll go prepare the ingredients; soon, I'll invite the culinary master to showcase his skills."
While Madam Hua was still agonizing over what to eat for dinner, the mood- Ravagers, the martial arts champion, appeared.
The item that the martial arts champion was carrying was none other than Zhu Zhishan.
"Madam, I saw this man in the Suzhou market who claimed to be Tong Pak Fu, and he was carrying his calligraphy and paintings around everywhere."
"If you sell it, I'll catch it and show it to my wife."
The martial arts champion pointed to Zhu Zhishan, who looked completely bewildered, and said...
"Bring the painting up!"
The martial arts champion quickly handed the several scrolls he had been carrying under his arm to Madam Hua.
After examining the painting for a moment, Madam Hua's face darkened with anger, and she said coldly, "This is indeed a painting by Tong Pak Fu."
Ling Yi watched from the side, utterly speechless. "How much do you know about Tong Pak Fu's paintings?"
Does that mean that Madam Hua frequently viewed Tong Pak Fu's paintings?
Ling Yi knew why Madam Hua disliked Tong Pak Fu.
Both Madam Hua and Zhu Qian, Tong Pak Fu's mother, liked Tong Tin Ho, but Tong Tin Ho ultimately chose Zhu Qian over her, which turned into hatred.
So, never mess with a woman who holds a grudge!
Zhu Zhishan cried out that he was innocent, "Innocent! I've already said I'm not Tong Pak Fu, you've arrested the wrong person."
Madam Hua naturally didn't believe it. "If you're not Tong Pak Fu, then why do you have so many of his paintings?"
Zhu Zhishan explained sheepishly, "I stole it when Tong Pak Fu wasn't home."
"You keep saying you're not Tong Pak Fu, so who are you?"
Zhu Zhishan shrugged and said, "I am Zhu Zhishan, one of the Four Great Scholars of Jiangnan, without a doubt!"
"Hmph, whether he's Tong Pak Fu or not, we'll find out soon enough. Martial Arts Champion, go and fetch Wah On!"
Zhu Zhishan was still in a daze, completely unaware of what had happened. He only felt that he might be in trouble and that he had been implicated by Tong Pak Fu.
But who is Wah On?
A moment later, not only did Wah On, disguised as Tong Pak Fu, arrive, but Four Xiangs also followed.
There are some differences from the original storyline here, but the main plot doesn't seem to have been affected much.
At this moment, Tong Pak Fu had plasters all over his face and was holding a fan to cover his face.
When Madam Hua saw Tong Pak Fu's appearance, a glint flashed in her eyes, and she smiled, " Wah On An, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I've just been talking too much these past few days, and my muscles are cramping."
"Go over there and see if he is your enemy, Tong Pak Fu."
Tong Pak Fu recognized Zhu Zhishan long ago, and Zhu Zhishan also recognized Tong Pak Fu long ago.
After all, the two were very familiar with each other.
The moment Zhu Zhishan saw Tong Pak Fu, he knew he was saved and said happily, "Oh, it's you!"
"If I knock, will you still recognize me?"
"Hey, I'd recognize you even if you were ashes. Aren't you Tang..."
Tong Pak Fu quickly interrupted the fool, shouting, "That's right, I am Wah On, the enemy that Tong Pak Fu has been trying so hard to harm!"
Then he leaned closer to Zhu Zhishan, "Shut up if you don't want to die!"
Tong Pak Fu turned to Madam Hua, clasped his hands in Fist Dao, "Madam, because Tong Pak Fu always wears a veil when he commits crimes, I cannot be certain whether it is him or not."
Although Madam Hua's face remained expressionless, the glint in her eyes and the slight upturn of her lips revealed that Madam Hua had already seen through everything.
"Is that so? Then it's better to be innocent than to let him go; kill him!"
Zhu Zhishan was completely bewildered, internally churning with frustration. What had Tong Pak Fu done to this person? Why was he so insistent on the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free"?
He quickly looked at Tong Pak Fu, his eyes pleading!
Tong Pak Fu was startled and quickly shouted, "Wait a minute! I think this person, even if he isn't Tong Pak Fu, must be closely related to Tong Pak Fu. So, sparing his life might be useful."
Madam Hua's smile deepened, and she nodded, saying, "Hmm, is that so? In that case, he may be spared the death penalty, but he can't escape punishment. Pomegranate, take him to the woodshed and keep a close watch on him."
Finally, he gave Sister Shiliu a look and slowly said, "Do as you please!"
Sister Shiliu was overjoyed and quickly thanked her, "Thank you so much for your generous gift, Madam! Hahaha!"
Zhu Zhishan was taken away, but what happened to him? It seems nothing much.
This guy doesn't seem to have suffered much. The two of them together, one infatuated and the other resentful, are actually a match made in heaven.
Afterwards, the plot involving Sister Shiliu and Zhu Zhishan became too cringeworthy, so Ling Yi didn't join in the fun. However, the Invisibility camera faithfully recorded everything.
Ling Yi believed that his fans would really like this part, but of course, it still needed to Masai Masai pass censorship.
"Martial Arts Champion, arrange for people to prepare the ingredients. Today, the God of Cookery is going to cook a grand feast for us all. Qiuxiang, you all go and help out too."
"Really?" The martial arts champion was overjoyed.
"Ah, we get to eat Young Master Ling's delicious food again!" The girls were also very excited.
Madam Hua laughed and said, "Why aren't you going yet?"
Everyone ran out like the wind.
Soon, only Ling Yi and Madam Hua remained in the hall.
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Madam, you should have known Tong Pak Fu's identity long ago, right?"
