My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1232 Key
He carefully observed the growth of each fruit and felt the scent they exuded. Under his careful care, the Qianwei Dragon and Phoenix Fruit seemed to be more vibrant, as if showing him their beauty and power.

After a period of waiting and observation, Zhou Xing finally selected a few ripe fruits. He picked them gently, and every time he picked one, he could feel the rich spiritual energy and vitality contained in the fruit. He knew that these fruits would become the key materials for his brewing of peerless spiritual wine.

After returning to Haoqing Sect with the precious Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit, Zhou Xing immediately began the intense and anticipated work of brewing spirit wine. He carefully selected other auxiliary ingredients, each of which was strictly screened and of high quality, to ensure that it could perfectly set off the unique flavor and spirituality of the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. Zhou Xing knew that now was the moment for the real competition between them.

"Thousand Feather Phoenix, you have guarded this secret realm for countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of countless cultivators." Zhou Xing said, with a gentle but firm power in his voice, "I am not here to destroy or plunder, but to find a way to coexist harmoniously."

The Thousand Feather Phoenix seemed to be touched by Zhou Xing's words and some memories deep in its heart. It slowly fell to the ground, its bright eyes staring at Zhou Xing, as if examining the depths of his soul.

Zhou Xing did not retreat, but took a firm step towards the Thousand Feather Phoenix. He put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard, stretched out his palm, palm up, showing a non-hostile attitude. This is an ancient etiquette, representing respect and equal communication.

"I am willing to sign a contract with you and become your friend rather than your enemy." Zhou Xing continued, his voice full of sincerity and expectation.

A sacred aura permeated the air, and the body of the Thousand-Feathered Phoenix began to emit a soft light. It slowly lowered its proud head and gently touched Zhou Xing's palm. At that moment, an indescribable connection was established between the two - the contract was established.

From then on, the Thousand Feather Phoenix became Zhou Xing's partner. It would help him protect this secret place and pick the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruits needed for winemaking. Zhou Xing also promised to respect the rules of this land and maintain the balance and harmony here.

Zhou Xing took a deep breath, his heart wavering between struggle and decision. Finally, he raised his head with a firm look: "I am willing to help. Tell me what to do."

Mo Xuan nodded. He took out an ancient badge from his arms and handed it to Zhou Xing: "This is the badge of the guardian. It will give you the necessary power to fight against the darkness. But remember, the real power comes from your heart and your determination."

Zhou Xing took the badge and felt a warm power flowing into his body. A new light flashed in his eyes, and a confidence he had never had before rose in his heart. He and Mo Xuan made a plan together to defeat the source of the dark power, Ling Xue, in the next battle.

As night fell, Zhou Xing went to the agreed place alone. The world of nightmare elves under the starry sky seemed particularly mysterious. He knew that this night would be the night of the decisive battle, and no matter what the result was, it would change his fate. Zhou Xing adjusted his breathing and concentrated his mind to the extreme. He was ready to face the upcoming challenge, and no matter how difficult and dangerous it was, he would persevere to the end.

The sky on the night of the decisive battle was covered with heavy clouds, and the moonlight shone faintly through the gaps in the clouds, adding a bit of mystery to the upcoming battle. Zhou Xing stood in an open area, holding the badge that gave him power. His heartbeat accelerated as time passed, but his eyes were unusually firm.

In the distance, Ling Xue's figure slowly appeared in the night, and her arrival was accompanied by a strong sense of oppression. There was a cold light in her eyes, and she was obviously full of confidence in the upcoming battle. However, Zhou Xing was not intimidated by this momentum. On the contrary, he felt the power in his heart constantly surging.

The two did not exchange any extra words, and directly launched a fierce duel. Ling Xue attacked with her unparalleled magical power, while Zhou Xing fought against her with the power granted by the guardian badge.

One day, while escaping from a group of mutant wolves, he accidentally entered a seemingly peaceful forest. Deep in the forest, he was surprised to find a hidden military base-Hongchen Base.

The Hongchen Base is led by a female commander named Ling Xue. Ling Xue is tall and slender, with a cold temperament and a pair of eyes that reveal determination and courage. She was wary of Zhou Xing's arrival, but after learning about his background and experience, she decided to take him in temporarily.

At the Hongchen Base, Zhou Xing witnessed the cruel reality of this apocalyptic era. With scarce resources, zombies running rampant, and mutant plants and animals raging, humans had to fight fiercely for survival.

As the commander of the base, Ling Xue shoulders the responsibility of protecting the survivors and finding hope. She leads an elite team in a desperate fight against zombies and mutant creatures. Zhou Xing is impressed by her bravery and wisdom and volunteers to join the battle.

The two began to fight side by side. They used their respective strengths and advantages to formulate tactics, set traps, and hunt zombies and mutant creatures. In the battles, their cooperation became more and more tacit, and their feelings were quietly growing.

However, as the battle deepened, Zhou Xing gradually discovered that this world was not just a simple apocalypse. He began to doubt the reason for his travel through time and the secrets hidden behind this world.

By chance, Zhou Xing discovered an ancient diary. The diary recorded a secret about "space-time cracks" and "apocalypse prophecy". It turned out that this world was distorted in time and space and the apocalypse was coming because of a failed experiment. Zhou Xing's travel through time seemed to be inextricably linked to this secret.

Zhou Xing told Ling Xue about this discovery. The two decided to work together to uncover the truth and find a way to return to the original world. They began to investigate the mastermind behind the experiment and the secret of the space-time rift.

After a series of investigations and tracking, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue finally found the mastermind behind the experiment - a mysterious organization called "Netherworld". This organization has advanced technology and powerful power. It is they who manipulated the space-time rift and triggered the doomsday disaster.

In the Haoqing Sect, ancient trees towered into the sky, clouds and mists lingered, creating an atmosphere of immortality. In this valley full of spiritual energy, Zhou Xing stood on the top of the mountain in a white robe, looking into the distance at the ancient secret realm shrouded in ancient legends. As a master of brewing spiritual wine, he shoulders the responsibility of brewing the most precious spiritual wine for the sect, and the Thousand Flavors Dragon and Phoenix Fruit is the goal of his expedition this time.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the clouds and shone on his determined face. Zhou Xing took a deep breath, feeling the freshness and vitality in the air. He knew that this was a blessing bestowed upon him by nature. He gently patted the jade pendant hanging around his waist. It was a token given by his master, which was said to guide him to find the place where the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit grows. With a crisp crane cry, a snow-white crane descended from the sky and landed on Zhou Xing's shoulder. This was his partner Xiaoxue, and it would be his guide and guardian along the way. Zhou Xing smiled slightly, stepped onto the crane's back, and slowly flew towards the depths of the secret realm.

The scenery along the way unfolded like a painting, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and rare animals occasionally flying over the treetops. However, as they went deeper into the secret realm, a mysterious and powerful aura gradually approached. Zhou Xing knew in his heart that the territory of the Thousand Feather Phoenix was not far away. He held the long sword in his hand tightly, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

Going deeper into the secret realm, Zhou Xing felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. There seemed to be an invisible force in the air, and every step forward became extremely difficult. Xiaoxue also seemed nervous and flapped her wings from time to time, as if to remind her master of the impending danger.

Finally, they came to an open area, in the center of which stood a huge fruit tree, which was full of colorful fruits - Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit. However, just as they were about to approach, a deafening cry broke the quiet sky, and a phoenix with a thousand wings appeared in front of them.

The eyes of the Thousand Feather Phoenix were like burning flames. It locked its gaze on Zhou Xing and Xiao Xue, obviously regarding them as intruders. Zhou Xing knew that this was an unavoidable battle. He whispered to Xiao Xue, "Be careful, don't go head-on."

The battle was about to start. The Thousand Feather Phoenix spread its wings and flew high, bringing with it a gust of wind. Zhou Xing tightly grasped his sword and nimbly dodged the Phoenix's attack. Xiao Xue circled in the air, looking for the right opportunity to counterattack. The two cooperated well, but the power of the Thousand Feather Phoenix was too strong. Every flap of its wings could cause a strong storm.

After a fierce battle, Zhou Xing was accidentally hit on the shoulder by the claws of the Thousand Feather Phoenix, and blood stained his clothes. The pain made his consciousness a little blurred, but he did not give up resistance, but became more determined to protect this land. He knew that only by subduing the Thousand Feather Phoenix could the safety of the Thousand Flavor Dragon and Phoenix Fruit be ensured.

Blood beads slid down Zhou Xing's arm and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet, as if triggering some kind of ancient ritual. His body was suddenly surrounded by a warm light, a sign that the long-dormant Phoenix bloodline in Ling Xue's body was awakening. Zhou Xing felt an unprecedented power surging in his body, his wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire aura changed dramatically.

The Thousand Feather Phoenix seemed to have sensed this new power, and its attacks became more fierce, trying to suppress the awakened blood in Zhou Xing's body. But Zhou Xing was no longer the winemaker who could only passively take a beating, and his eyes flashed with a light that could rival the Thousand Feather Phoenix.

Zhou Xing took a deep breath and concentrated his mind to sense the power of nature around him. He stretched out his palm, as if guiding the energy between heaven and earth to gather in his palm. As his gestures changed, rays of light swirled around him, forming a complex magic circle.

"Ling Xue!" Zhou Xing shouted in a low voice, with endless majesty and power in his voice. At this moment, he no longer looked like a human, but a strange half-human, half-phoenix creature, with a pair of huge wings spread out behind him, echoing the thousand-feathered phoenix.

The Thousand Feather Phoenix stopped attacking, apparently shocked by the sight. It flew around Zhou Xing for a few times, seemingly examining this new opponent. Zhou Xing took this opportunity to try to communicate with the Thousand Feather Phoenix, using the voice of his heart to convey his wish for peace.

The atmosphere between the two gradually eased, and Qianyu Phoenix began to understand that Zhou Xing's intention was not to invade, but to seek a way to coexist. The resonance of blood made the two souls have a wonderful connection, and a battle that was destined to be fierce turned into an unexpected reconciliation.

Under the power of blood awakening, the tension between Zhou Xing and the Thousand Feather Phoenix gradually dissipated. He slowly landed on the ground, folded his wings behind him, and regained his human form. The Thousand Feather Phoenix also stopped circling and stood quietly opposite him, with a hint of curiosity and vigilance in its fiery eyes.

Zhou Xing knew the importance of the moment, he gently extended his hand, palm up, to show friendship and respect. He carefully felt the other party's emotional fluctuations, and said in a gentle voice: "I am not here to be your enemy, Qianyu Fenghuang. I am here to find the Qianwei Dragon and Phoenix Fruit, which is our common precious resource."

The Thousand Feather Phoenix seemed to be hesitating. It lowered its head and lightly touched Zhou Xing's palm with its sharp beak. At that moment, a powerful spiritual power flowed from the Thousand Feather Phoenix into Zhou Xing's body, and an indescribable connection was established between the two.

Zhou Xing closed his eyes and accepted this power wholeheartedly. When he opened his eyes again, there was a light of determination in his eyes. He said to Qianyu Phoenix: "I am willing to be your guardian and protect all living things on this land."

The Thousand-Feathered Phoenix let out a long cry, as if responding to Zhou Xing's oath. It slowly stepped back a few steps, then spread its wings and flew into the sky, circling Zhou Xing for several circles before finally landing on his shoulder. This scene symbolized that the Thousand-Feathered Phoenix accepted Zhou Xing's existence and was willing to protect this holy land side by side with him.

From then on, Zhou Xing not only became a master of brewing spirit wine, but also the guardian of the Thousand Feather Phoenix. He used his actions to prove the possibility of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and also brought new hope and strength to the Haoqing Sect.

In order to stop the conspiracy of the Netherworld Organization and save the world, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue decided to launch a decisive battle. They united all the forces of the Hongchen Base and other survivors to fight against the Netherworld Organization.

On the day of the decisive battle, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue led the warriors to rush to the headquarters of the Netherworld Organization. They faced well-equipped enemies and terrifying mutant creatures without fear and bravely moved forward.

In the fierce battle, Zhou Xing used his extraordinary martial arts and wisdom to escape danger many times and inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Ling Xue showed her excellent command ability and calm judgment, which made the soldiers always maintain high morale and close cooperation.

However, the power of the Netherworld Organization was far beyond their imagination. In the repeated charges, the soldiers fell one after another, but their eyes still shone with unyielding light. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were also seriously injured, but they still held their ground and refused to retreat.

Just at this moment, an unexpected turning point occurred.
