My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1373 Self-blame
He decided to use the wine-making technique inherited from the sect to refine Ling Xue's natal lotus soul into "Nine-Turn Deliverance Wine".

He set up the Bagua formation in the wine cellar, using the smell of wine as a guide to try to draw out the lotus soul in Ling Xue's body. However, at the critical moment, Ling Xue suddenly had a splitting headache, holding her head with both hands, groaning in pain. Zhou Xing was shocked, he knew that Ling Xue's memory was recovering.

As her memory came back, Ling Xue's eyes became cold and sharp. Ice spikes appeared in her hands and pressed against Zhou Xing's throat. Zhou Xing's heart trembled, but he did not resist. At this moment, Ling Xue saw the lotus hairpin she had given her in the past on the table and recalled the past. Her hands trembled slightly, and the coldness in her eyes gradually dissipated.

"Zhou Xing..." Ling Xue called softly, with a hint of guilt and nostalgia in her voice. Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Miss Ling, let the past be the past. The most important thing for us now is to survive this disaster."

However, just when they thought they could brew wine in peace, the drinkers suddenly died one after another. When Zhou Xing examined the bodies, he found a red lotus mark between the eyebrows of the deceased. He thought to himself that this was not good, and it was obvious that someone was secretly playing tricks.

Soon, he discovered that it was the vengeful spirits at the bottom of the jar that were causing trouble. Those vengeful spirits absorbed the spiritual energy in the wine and became extremely powerful. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue worked together to set up a formation, trying to eliminate these vengeful spirits. Just when the formation was about to be completed, Ling Xue was suddenly possessed by the vengeful spirits. Her eyes became empty and evil, and the ice spike in her hand stabbed at Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing had no choice but to pierce her shoulder blade with his wine sword. Ling Xue groaned and fell to the ground. Zhou Xing looked at the injured Ling Xue, his heart filled with pain and self-blame.

Zhou Xing looked for ways to heal Ling Xue. Finally, he learned that the water from the Yellow Spring in the underworld might be able to solve the current predicament. So, he took Ling Xue to the Yellow Spring in the underworld.

Above the Yellow Springs, the Naihe Bridge stretches across. Zhou Xing paid the price of thirty years of his life to obtain half a bowl of Meng Po soup. He fed the soup into Ling Xue's mouth, and Ling Xue vomited black blood, and also vomited out the memories of three lives.

It turns out that they had jumped into the sword-making furnace in ancient times to commit suicide for love, and were saved by the Demon Sect after their souls were broken. In thousands of reincarnations, they have always saved each other, but were teased by fate at the critical moment.

After returning to Zuiyuexuan, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue began to brew "Rebirth Wine". They put 921 kinds of medicinal herbs into the wine jar and burned them with Samadhi True Fire. In the steaming wine mist, Ling Xue gradually recovered all her memories.

She looked at Zhou Xing, her eyes full of affection and determination. Where their palms overlapped, the red lotus and the magic pattern blended together, emitting a powerful and mysterious power. They knew that this was the continuation of their fate in the previous life, and also the testimony of their hand in hand to overcome the disaster in this life.

Just when they thought everything was going in a good direction, the catastrophe came. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thick purple lightning pillars fell towards Zuiyuexuan. The whole restaurant was shaking in the thunder, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing without any fear in her eyes. She transformed into a red lotus and stood in front of Zhou Xing, resisting the thunderbolt. One after another, the lightning bolts struck her, and her petals withered one after another, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

Zhou Xing was filled with grief as he watched Ling Xue endure all this for him. He bit his finger and used his magic blood to draw an ancient sacrificial array. He decided to sacrifice his own life to help Ling Xue survive this catastrophe.

Just as the eighth thunderbolt was approaching, Ling Xue suddenly discovered Zhou Xing's intention. Her heart tightened, and she burned her essence and blood to shatter the thundercloud. However, her own body gradually became transparent, as if it would disappear from this world at any time.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue who was about to disappear, his heart filled with despair and reluctance. He held Ling Xue's hand tightly and said, "Ling Xue, I won't let you leave me." Ling Xue smiled at Zhou Xing and said, "Zhou Xing, I have no regrets in death for meeting you."

Ling Xue's residual soul attached to the wine gourd, and Zhou Xing nurtured it with his heart's blood every day. He knew very well that only by gathering the "Eternal Life Drunk" brewed by the nine heavenly tribulations could Ling Xue rebuild her body.

In order to achieve this goal, he began to travel around and experienced many hardships. Every time he encountered a natural disaster, he would channel the lightning into the wine cellar and brew wine using a special method.

Finally, after going through countless dangers and challenges, the ninth jar of wine was brewed. When it was opened, the aroma of the wine intoxicated half of Kyushu. Ling Xue's soul was reborn in the rainbow light. She came on the waves of wine, with a wisp of enchanting magic pattern on her temples.

Zhou Xing looked at the reborn Ling Xue, his eyes full of excitement and joy. He walked forward and hugged Ling Xue tightly. Ling Xue also responded to his hug, and the two smiled at each other.

They returned to the Haoqing Sect of the Demon Sect. The leader looked at them with a gratified smile on his face. He told them that the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine tribulations had ended, and they finally became the protagonists of the Demon Sect's legendary story "The Drunken Lotus". From then on, there were no more shackles that could bind them in the Three Realms. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood on the top of the mountain hand in hand, looking at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and began their new life.

Zhou Xing only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, he was already in an unfamiliar room. The room was simply furnished, with wisps of green smoke rising from the medicine furnace, and the hustle and bustle of the market coming from the window. He sat up suddenly, with a splitting headache, and countless unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

It turned out that he traveled to an ancient world and became an inconspicuous medical officer in the Imperial Hospital. His identity was actually a disciple of the Haoqing Sect of the Demon Sect. This time he had to go through 9,999 tribulations and reincarnate in different small worlds.

"Imperial Physician Zhou, something bad has happened!" A young eunuch ran in in a panic, "The princess vomited blood and fainted!" Zhou Xing was shocked. Without time to think, he picked up the medicine box and followed the young eunuch to the princess's bedroom.

Ling Xue was lying on the couch, her face as pale as paper, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her breath was weak, and her pulse was even more disordered. Zhou Xing concentrated on taking her pulse, his brows gradually furrowed. He noticed that there was a strange cold poison hidden in Ling Xue's body, which was corroding her meridians.

In order to determine the cause of the disease, Zhou Xing decided to check the books of the Imperial Hospital overnight. In the piles of medical books, he finally found a clue. It turned out that the "Ice Marrow Jade Cup" tributed by the neighboring country three years ago was poisonous, and Ling Xue had accidentally eaten the soup containing the toxin, which caused this chronic poison.

Zhou Xing was about to get up to prepare the antidote when suddenly a poisonous snake quietly fell from the beam and rushed towards his face. He reacted very quickly, picked up a silver needle and stabbed the snake in the vitals. The snake struggled a few times and then stopped moving.

Zhou Xing looked at the poisonous snake on the ground, secretly alert in his heart. This is definitely not a coincidence, it seems that there is a murderous intention hidden in this palace. But when he looked up, he saw Ling Xue covering her mouth, her eyes full of fear. Zhou Xing's heart moved, and he smiled as if nothing had happened: "Don't be afraid, Princess, I am here."

After that, Zhou Xing went to Ling Xue to remove the poison with acupuncture every day. His silver needles were inserted accurately into Ling Xue's acupuncture points, and each time the needle fell, it seemed to carry a mysterious power. As time went by, Ling Xue's cold poison symptoms gradually eased.

However, Zhou Xing found that every time he practiced his skills, ice cracks would appear on his palms. He was puzzled, but he had no time to care. Until one day, Ling Xue accidentally glimpsed his palms and couldn't help but exclaimed.

It turned out that the ice cracks were actually a sign of the emergence of the Demon Sect's seal after it was sealed. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue looked at each other and understood something in their hearts. This road to tribulation was far more difficult than they had imagined. On a rainy night, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were analyzing the condition in the house. Suddenly, a group of masked assassins broke in through the window. They held sharp blades and had fierce eyes, and rushed straight towards Ling Xue. Zhou Xing stood in front of Ling Xue without hesitation and started a fierce fight with the assassins.

During the battle, Zhou Xing forced his magic to kill the three assassins instantly. However, his magic was also exposed. Ling Xue looked at him with shock and confusion in her eyes.

At this time, the poisoned wine given by the emperor was brought to Ling Xue. Zhou Xing acted decisively and pretended to feed Ling Xue "poison", but actually sealed her acupuncture points with golden needles to fake a sudden death.

The two hid in the coffin, and in the narrow space, they could hear each other's breathing clearly. Ling Xue suddenly chuckled: "You and I know each other well, so there is no need to pretend to be ordinary people." Zhou Xing was stunned at first, and then he also laughed. In this palace full of dangers, at least they are no longer fighting alone.

The emperor mistakenly believed that Ling Xue was dead, so he ordered her "body" to be thrown into a mass grave. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue took the opportunity to escape from the palace. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were surrounded by a group of demon cultivators.

The strength of these demon cultivators should not be underestimated. In order to protect Ling Xue, Zhou Xing decided to forcefully fuse the immortal and demon souls. A powerful aura erupted around his body, and his white hair and red eyes showed his demonic power. He raised his hand and waved it, and a flaming sword energy whistled out, instantly burning all the hundreds of demon cultivators.

Ling Xue was stunned watching from the side, and at the same time she felt the huge pressure Zhou Xing was under for her. In order to save Zhou Xing, she ignored her own cold poison, used her heart blood as a guide, and activated the ancient medical formation.

After the formation was activated, Ling Xue's body became weaker and the cold poison became more serious. Zhou Xing felt distressed and hugged her tightly. In the light of the formation, the blood of the two resonated, and Zhou Xing's magic pattern began to spread to Ling Xue's neck.

At this time, the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer. Zhou Xing decisively picked up Ling Xue and jumped into the cold pond next to them. The cold water caused their body temperature to drop sharply, but it also made the pursuers lose track of them.

At the bottom of the pool, a bronze medical tablet appeared before them. Zhou Xing carefully identified the words on it and found that it contained the "Nine Tribulations Longevity Secret", and the small world in front of him was only the first level of the Ice Soul Purgatory.

After Zhou Xing and Ling Xue came out of the cold pond, they came to a small border town. However, this place was suffering from the plague and the people were suffering.

In order to help the people, Ling Xue was unfortunately infected with the disease. Her body was covered with black corpse spots and she was in critical condition. Zhou Xing was extremely worried and cut his wrist to feed her blood in an attempt to prolong Ling Xue's life.

Fortunately, they found a thousand-year-old Gu King in the town's medical hut. Zhou Xing implanted the Gu King into Ling Xue's heart, and soon after, the Gu King took effect, Ling Xue expelled the black blood, and her face gradually regained some color.

However, Zhou Xing fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. In the coma, his consciousness sank into the place where the Demon Sect inherited his legacy. Here, he met his previous life - a medical fairy in white clothes whiter than snow. The medical fairy told him that in every life he would cut out his heart to save Ling Xue, which seemed to be a destined disaster.

When Zhou Xing woke up, Ling Xue was guarding his bedside. The two of them were speechless, just staring at each other quietly. Afterwards, they bathed in the spiritual spring together. Under the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Zhou Xing transferred the magic energy into Ling Xue's body to help her build her foundation.

A red lotus mark appeared between Ling Xue's eyebrows, emitting a soft light. This red lotus mark was the symbol of inheritance of the head of the Haoqing Sect.

Just when Zhou Xing and Ling Xue thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a thunderbolt struck from the sky. A huge golden lightning column struck down towards them, instantly shattering the entire mountain.

Zhou Xing realized that it was the way of heaven that was preventing them from continuing to experience the tribulation. He did not hesitate to use his life-saving magic weapon, the "Xuantian Needle", to resist the thunder tribulation. However, the power of the thunder tribulation was too strong, and the "Xuantian Needle" was cut off.

Seeing this, Ling Xue gritted her teeth, burned her soul, and completed the formation. In the process of burning her soul, she glimpsed the truth of why she and Zhou Xing were banished to the lower world three hundred years ago. It turned out that all this was arranged by the way of heaven, and they were the chess pieces chosen by the way of heaven.

The two of them worked together to arrange 360 ​​star positions, trying to reverse yin and yang. In the process, Zhou Xing engraved the secret method of the Demon Sect into Ling Xue's spine, hoping to enhance her strength. Ling Xue used the royal secret method to recast Zhou Xing's body.

In a dazzling light, both of them turned into immortals. However, the world beneath their feet began to collapse, and a new disaster was about to come.

After the 9999 disasters, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue returned to the Demon Sect. However, a greater crisis was waiting for them.

The leader of the Demon Sect told them that the tribulation was just a test. If they wanted to gain true freedom, someone must stay on the Samsara Platform forever.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, his eyes full of reluctance. He tightly grasped the "Xuantian Needle" in his hand and slowly walked towards the reincarnation platform. Just as he was about to step onto the reincarnation platform, Ling Xue suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Zhou Xing, I can't let you bear this alone." Ling Xue's voice was firm and resolute. Zhou Xing wanted to break free, but was afraid of hurting her.

Ling Xue kissed Zhou Xing's lips, tears falling. At the same time, the short blade in her hand pierced Zhou Xing's heart. Zhou Xing's eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.

However, at this moment, a powerful force erupted from Ling Xue. It turned out that she had burned her immortal bones with the Red Lotus Karma Fire in exchange for the opportunity to coexist with Zhou Xing.

On the ruins of the collapsed Demon Sect, the newly born Dual Cultivation Supreme looked back at the mortal world. The ice pattern on Zhou Xing's palm and the red lotus between Ling Xue's eyebrows bloomed with a thousand-foot light, illuminating the three thousand small worlds. They finally got rid of the shackles of fate and started their new journey.

In the early morning, when the city was still asleep, Zhou Xing was already riding his old electric bike through the alleys. His delivery vehicle was full of parcels, and there was a breakfast hanging on the handlebars. He kept an eye on the delivery time and carefully checked the delivery order number.

Zhou Xing stopped his car at the gate of a familiar community. He skillfully took a breakfast and several parcels from the car and walked towards a house.
