The God of Cooking in the World of Wuxia and Xianxia

The God of Cooking in the World of Wuxia and Xianxia is a multiverse infinite-flow web novel by Panda Pangda, serialized on Qidian from April 2019 and completed in February 2020, with 508 chapters and about 1.59 million characters. On his eighteenth birthday, the protagonist Ling Chi is possessed by the "God of Cooking System," which can travel through time and space, and becomes a candidate for God of Cooking. The system's core mechanism: as long as he makes food that diners sincerely praise and conquers their "stomachs," he receives recipe drops matching the diner's level. The recipes are no ordinary cookbooks; dishes made from them can quickly restore stamina and internal energy, and some can permanently boost strength, agility, constitution, true qi, and even lifespan, making them highly tempting to martial artists. Recipes and cooking skills are divided into six tiers: white, blue, purple, red, gold, and diamond, each with three grades: ordinary, advanced, and top. Ling Chi starts in the world of The Deer and the Cauldron; pursued for taking the Zhuang family's maid Shuang'er, he is forced to travel to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, where he opens the "Hero's Inn" in a town at the foot of Mount Hua and sets the rule "beat me and eat and drink for free," which both filters diners by level and hones his martial arts. He then passes through the worlds of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Da Tang Shuang Long Zhuan, Chinese Paladin, Legend of the White Snake, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, and even the ancient primordial chaos, befriending heroes through cooking, entering the Way through food, and ultimately pursuing the pinnacle of the culinary Way.
