My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1231 Precious
In the brewing room of the sect, Zhou Xing mixed the Qianwei Dragon and Phoenix Fruit with other precious materials according to the ancient secret recipe. His technique was skillful and precise, and every stirring and heating was just right. The whole brewing room was filled with an intoxicating aroma, a fragrance that calmed the mind and purified the soul.

After days and nights of hard work, jars of crystal-clear, fragrant spirit wine were finally brewed. When the first drop of spirit wine fell into the cup, the whole room was enveloped by a layer of light brilliance, which was the embodiment of the powerful vitality and spirituality contained in the spirit wine.

Zhou Xing picked up the wine glass and gently tasted the wine he brewed himself. At that moment, he seemed to hear the hymns from heaven and earth and felt the rhythm of the growth of all things. He knew that he had not only brewed an unprecedented wine, but also completed a challenge and transcendence of his own limits.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire cultivation world, and many cultivators came here just to taste this legendary spiritual wine. Zhou Xing's name also became famous, and he became the spiritual wine master in everyone's mind. Behind all this, there is the silent support and protection of the Thousand Feather Phoenix.

Zhou Xing dodged the attack of the lord-level monster by leaning sideways, his eyes closely following the black leopard that suddenly appeared. The leopard's movements were extremely agile, and it seemed to know the monsters in this world very well. Every dodge and counterattack was accurate and deadly. Zhou Xing felt an inexplicable sense of trust in his heart, and he decided to follow the leopard's rhythm and fight side by side with it.

The battle became more intense, and Zhou Xing and Leopard cooperated more and more tacitly. Leopard's speed and strength caught the monster off guard, and Zhou Xing's swordsmanship was constantly breaking through his own limits. Their cooperation not only put the lord-level monster in a difficult battle, but also frightened the surrounding small monsters and made them flee in all directions.

As the battle progressed, Zhou Xing gradually felt a special aura emanating from the leopard. This aura was both familiar and strange, and it reminded him of some of his experiences when he was practicing in the Haoqing Sect. Could it be that this leopard was not an ordinary beast? Zhou Xing's heart was full of questions.

Finally, after a precise joint attack, the lord-level monster let out a deafening scream and fell to the ground. The air around him seemed to relax, and the fleeing small monsters completely disappeared into the depths of the forest. Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned to the leopard, ready to ask. However, the leopard took action first, it jumped lightly, turned into a black light, and ran straight into the depths of the forest.

Zhou Xing was stunned in the spot, until the leopard's figure completely disappeared, he realized that this mysterious ally had left. He couldn't help but feel a little lost, and at the same time he became very interested in the true identity of the leopard. He knew that this encounter was by no means accidental, and the appearance of this leopard might be the key to his survival in this world.

Zhou Xing stood in the empty clearing in the forest, the corpse of the lord-level monster lying at his feet. His heartbeat was still accelerating, and the battle just now gave him a new understanding of the world. He recalled the mysterious behavior of the leopard and was filled with doubts. Zhou Xing decided to follow the leopard's trail, hoping to find some answers.

He went deeper into the forest in the direction the leopard disappeared. The trees became denser and denser, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate the thick canopy. Zhou Xing's senses became extremely sharp. He could hear the sound of water flowing in the distance and smell the scent of moist soil. Soon, he came to a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered with vines and it was almost impossible to find it without careful observation.

Zhou Xing tiptoed into the cave, which was dark and humid. The glowing moss growing on the cave wall provided him with a weak light. He carefully went deeper into the cave until he saw an open space. There, the leopard was lying quietly on a huge rock, its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.

Zhou Xing walked closer and was about to wake up the leopard, when suddenly the leopard's eyes suddenly opened and looked straight at him. The leopard slowly stood up, and its body began to change. The black fur gradually faded, revealing a tall figure. When the changes stopped, the person standing in front of Zhou Xing was no longer a leopard, but a handsome young man.

The young man smiled and introduced himself to Zhou Xing: "My name is Mo Xuan, and I am one of the guardians of this world. The leopard you saw is just another form of me."

Zhou Xing was shocked by everything in front of him. He realized that he had met the legendary guardian of the fantasy beast. Mo Xuan told Zhou Xing that the world was threatened by a dark force, and his appearance might be the key to changing it all. Zhou Xing remained silent after hearing this. He was confused and determined. He knew that his journey had just begun, and there were more secrets in this mysterious world waiting for him to uncover.

Mo Xuan's words hit Zhou Xing's heart like a heavy hammer, and he realized that the responsibility he shouldered was far greater than he had imagined. In this strange world, he not only had to fight for his own survival, but also had to help Mo Xuan fight against the dark force that was eroding the entire world.

"We need your help, Zhou Xing." Mo Xuan's tone was serious and firm. "If this dark force is not stopped, the entire Nightmare Elf world will fall into chaos and destruction."

Hidden in the deep mountains and ancient forests, the Haoqing Sect is like a pearl inlaid in the emerald ocean. The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrates the layers of mountains and sprinkles on the ancient sect buildings, which are magnificent. Inside the sect, there are birds singing, flowers blooming, and water flowing, creating a peaceful and tranquil scene.

In this quiet environment, Zhou Xing was standing in front of a vineyard, examining each crystal clear fruit with a sharp gaze. He was wearing a green gown, with a thin ribbon tied around his waist, and his black hair fluttering in the wind. His slender fingers gently touched the grapes, as if he could feel their inner vitality.

"Master Zhou, this year's grapes are sweeter than in previous years. We can definitely make excellent wine." A little boy at the side said excitedly. He is one of Zhou Xing's disciples, named Xiaosong.

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes: "Yes, with the right time, right place and right people, this year's spirit wine will definitely be even better."

At this time, the leader Mingyuan came slowly, his steps were steady, and every step seemed to be in sync with the earth. Mingyuan was wearing a white robe, with a flowing beard and deep eyes, giving people a sense of inviolable majesty.

"Zhou Xing, your winemaking skills have reached perfection, but are you ready for greater challenges?" Mingyuan's voice was low and powerful.

Zhou Xing turned around and saluted respectfully: "Master, please give me your orders. I am willing to do my best."

Mingyuan nodded and looked towards the distant sky: "In the ancient secret realm, there is the legendary Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. If you can get it, your wine will be famous all over the world. But the guardian beast Thousand Feather Phoenix is ​​extremely difficult to deal with. You..."

Zhou Xing's eyes flashed with determination: "Master, rest assured, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will overcome them and bring honor to the sect." Mingyuan looked at Zhou Xing's back with a flash of approval in his eyes. He knew that this young wine master was about to embark on a legendary journey.

Zhou Xing stepped into the ancient secret land shrouded by ancient legends alone. This is a pure land that has not been disturbed by the world, surrounded by lush primeval forests, ancient trees towering, vines entwined, as if every leaf is telling a thousand-year-old secret. The sun shines through the dense canopy, sprinkling on the wet ground in patches, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and wild flowers.

He moved lightly through the dense forest, and from time to time he could hear the roars of wild beasts and the chirping of birds in the distance. Zhou Xing's heartbeat accelerated with every step he took, but his eyes were firm, and he held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to deal with any danger that might arise.

After several days of trekking, Zhou Xing finally arrived at a hidden valley. In the center of the valley, a huge fruit tree stood there, and the tree was full of fruits emitting strange luster. That was the legendary Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. The surface of the fruit was flowing with colorful light, as if it contained endless mysterious power.

Just as Zhou Xing was about to pick the fruit, a deafening cry pierced the quiet air, and a huge phoenix with a thousand feathers descended from the sky. Its feathers were like burning flames, and its eyes flashed with vigilance and anger. The phoenix with a thousand feathers circled around the fruit tree, making sharp cries, obviously dissatisfied with Zhou Xing's intrusion.

Zhou Xing's heart tightened. He knew that this encounter was not accidental, but a test from the guardian beast. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then slowly bowed to the Thousand Feather Phoenix: "Honorable Thousand Feather Phoenix, I am Zhou Xing, the master of brewing spirit wine from Haoqing Sect. I have come here to pick the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit to brew a rare spirit wine. Please give me a chance."

The Thousand Feather Phoenix ignored Zhou Xing's words, and suddenly a dazzling light burst out from its body, and a powerful momentum attacked Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing immediately swung his sword to block, and the sword energy and the phoenix flame intertwined and collided in the air, making a deafening roar.

The duel between Zhou Xing and the Thousand Feather Phoenix became increasingly fierce. Every clash was accompanied by thunderous roars and sparks. Zhou Xing's swordsmanship was agile and sharp, and every sword condensed all his will and mental strength. The Thousand Feather Phoenix responded to Zhou Xing's challenge with its unparalleled speed and strength. Every flap of its wings could stir up strong winds and huge waves, and every peck seemed to tear the sky apart.

The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time. Zhou Xing felt his strength gradually depleted, his clothes soaked with sweat, and his breathing became rapid. However, his eyes remained firm, and he had no intention of retreating. He knew that this battle was about his mission and glory, and he could not fail.

Just when Zhou Xing was in a tough fight, Ling Xue suddenly appeared at the edge of the battlefield. Her appearance was like a breeze, bringing a glimmer of hope to Zhou Xing. Ling Xue was wearing simple travel clothes, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and her eyes revealed an unusual calmness and determination.

"Zhou Xing, let me lend you a hand!" Ling Xue shouted loudly, and then she stepped towards the battlefield, forming seals with her hands and chanting an ancient spell.

As Ling Xue finished her spell, a strange force surged from her body, and the air seemed to be filled with vibrations. Zhou Xing felt the change in this force, and something in his body seemed to be touched.

At this moment, the Thousand Feather Phoenix launched another fierce attack, but under the influence of Ling Xue's power, Zhou Xing felt that his body had undergone a wonderful change. His blood seemed to be boiling, and an unprecedented power awakened in his body. Zhou Xing's eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and his figure became more agile and his reaction became faster.

At this moment, Zhou Xing finally found a way to fight against the Thousand Feather Phoenix. His swordsmanship became more fierce, and every attack was accompanied by great power and will. The Thousand Feather Phoenix also began to feel the pressure, and its attacks were no longer as easy as before.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and both sides were fighting with all their might. However, at this critical moment, Zhou Xing's heart was unusually calm. He knew that he had found the key to victory - that was to merge with Ling Xue's power.

During the fierce battle, Zhou Xing's body underwent earth-shaking changes. His muscles swelled, and the blood flowing in his veins seemed to burn, emitting a fiery glow. Faint golden lines appeared under his skin, like part of an ancient totem, full of mysterious and powerful power.

Zhou Xing felt that his senses had become unusually sharp. He could clearly hear the rustling of every leaf around him, feel the flow of the wind and the pulse of the land. His soul seemed to resonate with the land, and a power he had never felt before surged in his body.

Ling Xue stood aside and witnessed all this happening. Her eyes were shining with surprise and awe. She knew that the long-dormant Phoenix bloodline in Zhou Xing's body had awakened at this moment. The power of this bloodline was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was a power in ancient legends that could enable people to communicate with the heaven and earth and control the power of nature.

"Zhou Xing, you did it!" Ling Xue shouted excitedly, her voice full of disbelief and joy.

Zhou Xing turned his head and looked at Ling Xue, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, I feel an unprecedented power. This power...it is so strong and so pure."

With the awakening of his bloodline, Zhou Xing's movements became even more swift. Every sword energy he swung out was accompanied by a blazing flame, counteracting the attack of the Thousand Feather Phoenix. The confrontation between the two became more intense, but also more harmonious, as if it was a contest of fate.

The Thousand Feather Phoenix obviously also felt the power of Zhou Xing's change, and a trace of surprise flashed in its eyes. It stopped attacking, suspended in the air, and looked at Zhou Xing with sharp eyes. The two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and the battle stopped temporarily.

Zhou Xing took the opportunity to take a deep breath and adjust his state. He knew that the battle was not over yet, but he was ready. He would use his newly awakened power to complete his mission - picking the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit.

With the power of blood awakening, Zhou Xing was reborn like a phoenix. His eyes were shining with an unprecedented light, which was the self-awareness and confidence in his new power. Facing the light full of wisdom of the Thousand Feather Phoenix, Zhou Xing's heart was moved.
