My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1235 First Thought

These fruits exuded an alluring aroma in their hands, as if foreshadowing future success. Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue gratefully, knowing that without her help, he would not be able to complete this mission.

On the way back to Haoqing Sect, Ling Xue told Zhou Xing the secret of her life experience. It turned out that she was a descendant of the Phoenix clan and had pure Phoenix blood. This experience in the ancient secret realm awakened her blood and made her more determined in her beliefs and mission.

Zhou Xing was filled with emotion as he listened to Ling Xue's story. He realized that everyone has their own secrets and stories, and these secrets and stories can often inspire people's inner strength and courage. He admired Ling Xue's courage and perseverance even more, and was glad for his choice.

After the adventure in the ancient secret realm, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue returned to Haoqing Sect with great joy. Their arrival caused warm cheers and celebrations from the whole sect. Disciples gathered around to ask about their adventures, while Zhou Xing and Ling Xue smiled and shared their experiences and insights.

Zhou Xing carefully handed over the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruits he picked to the sect's winemakers. They couldn't wait to start brewing new spirit wine, and the whole sect was filled with rich fruit and wine aromas. Zhou Xing knew that this adventure not only allowed him to harvest precious winemaking ingredients, but also allowed him to meet a brave friend and partner.

In the following days, Ling Xue began to cultivate her Phoenix bloodline power, while Zhou Xing continued to study the art of brewing wine. Their friendship continued to deepen in their common interests and goals, and became a good story in the Haoqing Sect.

Whenever night falls, the sky above Haoqing Sect will always be filled with the cries of thousands of phoenixes. That is Ling Xue communicating with her mount, and it is also a recognition and acceptance of her own life experience. At this time, Zhou Xing will quietly taste a glass of newly brewed spirit wine, feeling its mellowness and sweetness.

This adventure has brought Zhou Xing and Ling Xue many valuable experiences and insights. They understand that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, as long as they have faith, courage, and the support and companionship of friends, they can overcome everything. And this experience will become the most precious wealth and memory in their lives.

In the vast world of cultivation, there is a hidden and solemn mountain, where the Haoqing Sect is located. The top of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it is a fairyland on earth. As a clear stream in the world of cultivation, the Haoqing Sect is famous for its unique winemaking skills, and Zhou Xing is the famous master of spirit wine brewing in the Haoqing Sect.

Zhou Xing has superb winemaking skills. Every drop of the wine he brews contains the essence of heaven and earth, which can cleanse the soul and improve cultivation. However, Zhou Xing is not satisfied with this. He has been looking for a legendary winemaking ingredient - Qianwei Dragon and Phoenix Fruit, in order to brew an unprecedented peerless wine.

In order to find this magical fruit, Zhou Xing did not hesitate to step into the ancient secret realm full of dangers. This secret realm is full of unknowns and dangers, but Zhou Xing is not afraid at all, as he only has the persistent pursuit of the art of winemaking in his heart.

The moment Zhou Xing stepped into the ancient secret realm, he felt a strong sense of oppression. The air here seemed to be frozen, and every step required a huge amount of effort. However, Zhou Xing did not retreat. He walked forward firmly, his eyes flashing with curiosity and desire for the unknown world.

Deep in the secret realm, Zhou Xing finally found the legendary Thousand Flavors Dragon and Phoenix Fruit Tree. The tree was tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, and full of fruits. Each fruit exuded an alluring aroma, making people salivate. However, just as Zhou Xing was about to pick the fruit, a huge mythical beast suddenly appeared in front of him.

This mythical beast is called the Thousand-Feather Phoenix, and is the guardian of the ancient secret realm. It has gorgeous feathers and powerful strength, and its sharp eyes stare at Zhou Xing, as if it will attack at any time.

Zhou Xing knew that he was no match for the Thousand Feather Phoenix. But he was unwilling to give up. After all, he had put in so much effort to get here. So, he decided to use his wisdom to defeat this powerful beast.

He began to carefully observe the movement patterns of the Thousand Feather Phoenix, looking for its weaknesses. After some observation, he found that although the Thousand Feather Phoenix was powerful, it was not invulnerable. Every time it spread its wings and flew high, there would always be a moment of flaw.

Therefore, Zhou Xing decided to use this opportunity to escape the pursuit of the Thousand Feather Phoenix. He quickly hid in a dense jungle, holding his breath, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.

However, the Thousand Feather Phoenix did not let him go easily. After circling in the air for a few times, it found Zhou Xing's hiding place. It let out a sharp cry and then pounced on Zhou Xing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Xing immediately jumped out of the jungle and ran forward with all his strength. Although he was fast, the Thousand Feather Phoenix was even faster. At the critical moment, Zhou Xing suddenly felt a powerful force surging from his body.

This power made him feel extremely surprised and shocked. He looked down and saw golden lines appearing on his arms. These lines emitted a dazzling light, as if some ancient and mysterious power was awakening.

It turned out that Zhou Xing had a rare bloodline of the Phoenix flowing in his body. This bloodline was extremely rare in the world of cultivation and possessed great power and potential. However, because Zhou Xing's bloodline was too rare, he had not been able to realize his specialness.

At this moment, at the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Xing's Phoenix bloodline was finally aroused. He felt as if his body was filled with a powerful force, and every cell was cheering. His eyes became sharper and his movements became more agile.

The Thousand Feather Phoenix obviously also sensed the changes in Zhou Xing. It stopped chasing and looked at this suddenly powerful human with caution. A trace of surprise and confusion flashed in its eyes, as if it was wondering why this human had changed so much.

On the edge of the world of immortal cultivation, there is an inconspicuous mutton noodle restaurant. This small restaurant called "Zhou Xing Mutton Noodle" looks ordinary, but it has unknown secrets. The owner of the restaurant, Zhou Xing, is a middle-aged man who looks ordinary, but his eyes are deep, revealing an extraordinary temperament. The mutton noodles in his hand are not only delicious, but also contain rich spiritual energy. For immortal cultivators, it is a rare delicacy.

Ling Xue, a woman dressed in white with a somewhat stern look between her eyebrows, is the eldest sister of a nearby immortal cultivation sect. She often comes to this mutton noodle restaurant alone, and every time she orders a big bowl of steaming mutton noodles. She likes to sit aside and taste it quietly, as if she is savoring some profound truth. On this day, Ling Xue came to the mutton noodle restaurant as usual, but found that Zhou Xing was processing mutton in a special way. The mutton in his hands actually glowed faintly. Ling Xue's heart moved, she knew that this was not an ordinary ingredient, but spiritual mutton full of spiritual energy. She couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss Zhou, where did you get this mutton from?"

Zhou Xing smiled slightly and did not answer directly. He just said: "Miss Ling, there are some things in this world that cannot be seen through with the eyes." After that, he handed a bowl of freshly cooked mutton noodles to Ling Xue.

Ling Xue took the bowl and saw that the mutton noodles in the bowl were emitting a faint halo and exuding fragrance. She took a sip of the soup and immediately felt a warm current flowing down her throat to her dantian. Her cultivation seemed to have improved a little because of it. Ling Xue knew that this bowl of mutton noodles was unusual, and Zhou Xing, the mysterious owner of the mutton noodle restaurant, was definitely not an ordinary person.

As time went by, Ling Xue became more and more curious about Zhou Xing. She began to secretly observe Zhou Xing, trying to find clues from his daily behavior. Whenever night fell, the business of the mutton noodle restaurant gradually became scarce, and Zhou Xing would go into the kitchen alone, where there were bursts of strange lights and low chanting sounds.

Late one night, Ling Xue followed Zhou Xing quietly into the kitchen. She saw Zhou Xing standing in front of a huge copper furnace, holding a staff that emitted a soft glow. The flames burning in the furnace were not ordinary fire, but blue flames, which were spiritual fires that could only be controlled by immortals. Zhou Xing was muttering something, and the staff in his hand drew complex runes in the air. Those runes fell on the mutton, making the surface of the mutton glow.

Ling Xue was shocked by what she saw. She had never seen such a brilliant cooking method before. This was clearly a long-lost immortal cultivation cooking technique. She couldn't help but ask, "Boss Zhou, are you an immortal cultivator?"

Zhou Xing turned around, looked at Ling Xue calmly, and said slowly: "Miss Ling, since you have seen it, I will not hide it any more. I am indeed not an ordinary person. I am a member of a hidden immortal cultivation sect, responsible for protecting the spiritual balance of this land."

After hearing this, Ling Xue's heart was in turmoil. It turned out that there was such an astonishing secret behind this mutton noodle restaurant. She couldn't help but respect Zhou Xing, and at the same time, she had a new understanding of her own cultivation. She realized that she still had a long way to go.

From then on, the relationship between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing was no longer just that of a customer and a store owner. Zhou Xing began to teach Ling Xue some basic knowledge and methods of cultivating immortals, and Ling Xue also shared some of the experiences she had learned in the sect with Zhou Xing. The two continued to improve through communication and became important partners on each other's cultivation path.

However, just as the relationship between the two was becoming more harmonious, a sudden crisis broke the tranquility...

On a sunny afternoon, a few strangers suddenly rushed into the mutton noodle restaurant. They were dressed in black and had sharp swords hanging from their waists. They were obviously from a powerful force. Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, sweeping through every corner of the restaurant and finally stopping at Zhou Xing.

The leading black-clad man stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Zhou Xing, we are from the Tianjian Sect. Our sect leader has ordered you to hand over the secret book "Spiritual Cooking Technique" hidden in the mutton noodle restaurant. We know that the secret book is in your hands, so don't force us to use force."

Zhou Xing remained calm and responded calmly, "I don't know what secret book you are talking about. The Spiritual Cooking Technique is a family technique passed down from my ancestors and cannot be passed on to others. Please go back."

The men in black were obviously not satisfied with this answer. Their hands were already on the hilts of their swords, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Seeing this, Ling Xue immediately stood beside Zhou Xing and said coldly, "This is my territory. If you want to take action, ask my sword first."

The two sides were in a stalemate, and at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the store. A group of people in uniform rushed into the mutton noodle restaurant. They were the brothers and sisters of Ling Xue's sect. It turned out that Ling Xue had already noticed something was wrong and secretly sent a message to her master.

The two factions were facing each other, and the air was filled with gunpowder. At this moment, Zhou Xing suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's actions. His voice was calm and firm: "I will personally explain today's matter to the Tianjian Sect. But before that, I hope you can leave here and don't disturb other guests."

After some intense negotiations, the people of Tianjian Sect finally agreed to temporarily withdraw. But before they left, they made a harsh statement, claiming that they would not give up. Ling Xue watched them leave, and secretly vowed to protect Zhou Xing and his mutton noodle restaurant.

Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing both know that this is only the calm before the storm. They must be prepared to face greater challenges that may come. What secrets are hidden behind all this? What kind of legend is Zhou Xing's past? The answers to these questions will be revealed in the following story.

After a series of upheavals, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing decided to delve deeper into the secrets of Aura Cooking and Zhou Xing's past. One night after closing the shop, Zhou Xing invited Ling Xue to his study, which was filled with various ancient books and scrolls, and an ancient map hung on the wall.

Zhou Xing pointed to a secret place on the map and said to Ling Xue, "This was where my master lived in seclusion. The Art of Spiritual Cooking is not just a collection of recipes. It contains a lot of knowledge about how to use spiritual energy in daily life. My master once said that this book can change a person's fate and even the future of a sect."

Ling Xue listened attentively to Zhou Xing's story. It turned out that many years ago, Zhou Xing was looking for an opportunity to break through in his cultivation and accidentally entered a mysterious ruins. There he met an old monk who lived in seclusion. This old monk was his master and the last heir of "Spiritual Cooking". The master saw the potential in Zhou Xing and passed on this secret book to him and told him that only people with a righteous heart could truly master the wisdom in the book.

After hearing this, Ling Xue's admiration for Zhou Xing increased. She realized that Zhou Xing was not only a skilled chef, but also a cultivator with profound cultivation and sense of responsibility. She also became more determined to help Zhou Xing protect this inheritance.

At this moment, a hurried knock on the door interrupted their conversation. When they opened the door, they saw that it was the people from the Tianjian Sect who came to visit again. This time, they brought more masters with them. It was obvious that they were fully prepared to seize the "Spiritual Cooking Technique". Facing the upcoming battle, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue smiled at each other.
