My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1233 Tour
On the edge of the world of immortal cultivation, there is a small town called "Lingyang Town", which is far away from the hustle and bustle and hidden among the mountains. There is an inconspicuous mutton noodle restaurant in the town, but it is famous for its unique spiritual mutton noodles. The owner of this noodle restaurant is named Zhou Xing. He is not only proficient in cooking, but also a hidden immortal cultivator.

Zhou Xing's mutton noodles are made with Lingyang Town's unique spiritual mutton, which is tender and rich in spiritual energy, making it an excellent choice for practitioners to replenish spiritual energy. Zhou Xing combines spiritual mutton with spiritual rice, which also contains spiritual energy. The mutton noodles he cooks are fragrant and delicious, and you can feel the flow of spiritual energy in every bite.

As time went by, Zhou Xing's mutton noodle restaurant gradually became a secret gathering place for cultivators. They exchanged their cultivation experiences here, tasted delicious food, and absorbed the spiritual energy from the food unconsciously. Zhou Xing's reputation also spread quietly in the cultivation world, but he always kept a low profile and was unwilling to reveal his identity too much.

However, the good times did not last long. As more and more immortal cultivators came to visit, Zhou Xing's peaceful life began to be disrupted. Some people with ulterior motives also began to covet his secret recipe and identity, and a storm about the spiritual mutton powder was quietly brewing.

Ling Xue, a female cultivator dressed in white and with a cool temperament, is the eldest sister of a nearby immortal cultivation sect. She is known for her arrogant attitude and outstanding cultivation. She rarely goes down the mountain on weekdays and focuses on cultivation. However, by chance, she was attracted by a strange aroma while performing a sect mission and walked into Zhou Xing's mutton noodle restaurant involuntarily.

The restaurant was steaming hot, and diners sat around simple wooden tables, feasting on their food. Ling Xue found a corner and sat down, ordering a bowl of mutton rice noodles. When the bowl of steaming mutton rice noodles was brought to her, she could hardly believe her eyes. The mutton rice noodles in the bowl were tempting in color and filled with the aroma of meat, as if every strand of rice noodle contained endless spiritual energy.

Ling Xue blew away the hot air gently and took a sip carefully. Instantly, a warm force spread from her mouth to her whole body, and she felt that her cultivation seemed to have improved. This surprised her because she had never eaten food that could directly promote her cultivation.

From then on, Ling Xue became a regular customer of Zhou Xing Mutton Noodle Restaurant. Every time she went down the mountain, she would make a detour to taste the unforgettable mutton noodles. She began to be curious about this seemingly ordinary boss, and felt that Zhou Xing was not as simple as he seemed.

As time went by, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became closer. She discovered that every night, Zhou Xing would go to the kitchen alone, as if he was doing something secret. This made Ling Xue more convinced that Zhou Xing was hiding a secret.

Finally one day, Ling Xue couldn't hold back her curiosity and decided to quietly follow Zhou Xing after nightfall to uncover the mystery. She followed Zhou Xing quietly, through the kitchen, and came to a hidden room. A faint light shone through the crack of the door. Ling Xue held her breath and slowly opened the door. The scene in front of her shocked her - the room was filled with all kinds of rare herbs and spiritual stones, and in the center, Zhou Xing was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a faint spiritual fluctuation. At this moment, Ling Xue realized that Zhou Xing was not only the owner of a mutton noodle restaurant, but also a hidden immortal cultivator.

Ling Xue's heartbeat quickened as she realized that she might have discovered a great secret. Zhou Xing obviously didn't notice someone breaking in. He was concentrating on the cultivation technique in his hand, and the surrounding spiritual energy was drawn to him like a whirlpool. Ling Xue hid in the dark, observing this scene, her heart filled with doubt and awe.

At this moment, Zhou Xing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze penetrated the dim room and shot straight to where Ling Xue was hiding. Ling Xue was startled, knowing that she could no longer hide it, so she slowly walked out.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak in here?" Zhou Xing's voice was low and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.

Ling Xue calmed down and replied in a deep voice: "I am Ling Xue, from a nearby immortal cultivation sect. I accidentally found this place and was curious about your true identity."

Zhou Xing stared at Ling Xue for a moment, as if trying to determine the truth of her words. Finally, he sighed, put down the spell in his hand, and stood up.

"Since you already know my secret, there are some things I should tell you." Zhou Xing said, waving his hand for Ling Xue to sit down.

In the following time, Zhou Xing told Ling Xue his story. It turned out that he was once a master in the world of immortal cultivation. Because he was tired of the fighting and intrigue between sects, he chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and lead an ordinary life. However, he still maintained his pursuit of immortal cultivation, but in a more low-key and restrained way.

Ling Xue listened to Zhou Xing's experience, and she felt respect for him. She had never thought that this gentle and polite mutton noodle shop owner had such an extraordinary past. At the same time, she was also ashamed of her previous behavior. After all, it was impolite to pry into other people's secrets without permission.

Zhou Xing saw what Ling Xue was thinking, smiled slightly, and waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. He said: "Everyone has the right to pursue their own path, and you are no exception. Just pretend that what happened today never happened."

Ling Xue nodded, but her heart had undergone subtle changes because of this experience. She knew that the story between her and Zhou Xing had just begun.

Since that late night conversation, the relationship between Ling Xue and Zhou Xing has become more subtle. She began to come to the mutton noodle restaurant frequently, not only for the bowl of mutton noodles that made her feel so good, but also for more communication with Zhou Xing. However, as their relationship deepened, some unknown dangers were quietly approaching.

One evening, when Ling Xue stepped into the mutton noodle restaurant again, she sensed something unusual. There was a faint sense of tension in the air, and the diners' voices were much lower than usual. Ling Xue looked around vigilantly and found several unfamiliar eyes secretly looking at her and Zhou Xing.

Soon after, these mysterious people began to appear frequently around the noodle house, and their behavior was obviously different from that of ordinary diners. Ling Xue used her keen intuition to judge that these people were not good people, and their purpose was probably to target Zhou Xing.

One night, when the last customer left, Ling Xue couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Xing, have you noticed something is wrong recently?"

Zhou Xing was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, I also felt something unusual. It seems that someone wants to find out my secrets."

Ling Xue frowned: "Do we need to do anything?"

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue deeply and said, "The most important thing now is to stay calm. I have strengthened the protective measures and am also looking for countermeasures. However, if the situation really gets worse, I may need your help."

Ling Xue nodded firmly: "No matter what, I will support your decision." Just as they were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation. A panicked waiter ran in and reported: "Boss, there is a group of people outside surrounding our store!"

Zhou Xing and Ling Xue looked at each other, and they immediately stood up and walked out the door. They saw a group of men in black holding weapons standing outside the store, and the leader said coldly: "Zhou Xing, we know your true identity, hand over your cultivation secrets and recipes, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

Faced with the sudden threat, Zhou Xing responded calmly: "I don't have what you want, please go back."

The man in black obviously didn't intend to give up, and the atmosphere became tense. Ling Xue tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to help at any time. However, at this critical moment, Zhou Xing suddenly showed his true strength - he flashed and turned into a shadow and rushed into the crowd of people in black...

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were dim. The confrontation outside the mutton noodle restaurant became increasingly tense. The leader of the black-clad crowd had a sinister look in his eyes, and was obviously a difficult character to deal with. Zhou Xing's figure looked particularly lonely under the moonlight, but his eyes were firm and he had no intention of retreating.

"It seems that you are determined to cause trouble." Zhou Xing's voice was calm and powerful, and his eyes swept across the faces of every man in black.

The leading black-clad man sneered, "Zhou Xing, stop trying to be brave! Do you think you can withstand so many of us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad crowd rushed towards Zhou Xing like a tide. At this time, Ling Xue no longer hesitated. She drew the long sword from her waist and joined the battle circle with the sword flashing. For a while, the sound of swords clashing was endless.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Zhou Xing showed his profound cultivation and superb martial arts. Every move and every style contained a powerful force, catching the men in black off guard. Ling Xue assisted Zhou Xing with her flexible body movements and precise swordsmanship, and the two cooperated perfectly.

As time went by, the men in black gradually felt the pressure. They thought they could easily take down the target, but it turned out to be so difficult. The leading man in black was furious: "Increase the intensity of the attack! I don't believe he can hold on for long!"

However, at this moment, Zhou Xing's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Enough!" Then he quickly changed the seals with his hands. Then a strong aura burst out from his body, forming a protective shield that enveloped the two people. The black-clothed men who rushed up were shocked by this force and retreated one after another, and some were even injured and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xing dragged Ling Xue back to the store and closed the door. "We must find a way to deal with these people as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles." He said to Ling Xue.

Ling Xue nodded in agreement: "I have a suggestion that we might try..." Then she told Zhou Xing a plan she had come up with, and the two began to plot to give these uninvited guests a head-on blow...

After a night of intense preparation and trap setting, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were ready to face the challenge. The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and shone into the mutton noodle restaurant, illuminating the two people's resolute faces. They smiled at each other, and they understood each other without saying anything.

As time went by, footsteps came closer and closer from outside the door. It was obvious that the men in black had not given up and were still trying to find a way to get into the store. But this time they would encounter an unexpected "welcome".

When the first black-clad man stepped into the trap area, the ground suddenly shook violently, countless mechanisms were triggered, wooden spikes flew out, and ropes entangled the invaders, catching them off guard and causing them to fall into the pre-set pits or get trapped in place and unable to move. Then dense arrows were shot from all directions, forcing the remaining enemies to retreat to a safe distance. The whole process was neat and tidy, showing the designer's ingenuity.

The leading black-clad man was furious when he saw this, but he could do nothing but retreat with his men in a panic: "Zhou Xing, just wait! We will be back!"

Zhou Xing sighed softly as he watched the enemy walk away. Ling Xue beside him comforted him, "At least we are safe for now. We can take a breath."

Indeed, this incident not only demonstrated the tacit cooperation between the two, but also brought the trust between them to a new level. Although there were occasional minor troubles in the days that followed, they were resolved one by one with the joint efforts of the two. More importantly, this experience deepened their friendship and made Zhou Xing re-examine his attitude towards secluded life - sometimes appropriate communication and cooperation are also necessary.

With the arrival of spring, everything comes back to life and the whole world seems to be celebrating the breath of new life. For Zhou Xing, this spring not only means changes in nature, but also marks the beginning of a new chapter in his life - he is no longer alone, but has trustworthy friends to jointly protect this spiritual land and that precious friendship.

It turns out that the Netherworld Organization is not a monolithic organization. Some of them chose to betray because of their conscience and fear of the end of the world. They provided Zhou Xing and Ling Xue with key intelligence and helped them formulate the final raid plan.

Using this information, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue led the soldiers to launch the final charge. They successfully broke through the defense line of the Netherworld Organization and destroyed the core device that controlled the space-time rift. With the explosion of the device, the space-time rift began to heal gradually, and those terrifying mutant creatures fell down one after another after losing their power source.

Haoqing Sect is a hidden holy place for cultivation. Its chief disciple Zhou Xing accidentally stepped into a mysterious crack during a training. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a strange and colorful world in front of him - the world of nightmare spirits. The air here is filled with a faint magical atmosphere, strange light spots are floating in the sky, and plants of various shapes are growing on the ground.

Zhou Xing stood in an open area, surrounded by dense forests, with a few towering mountains faintly visible in the distance. His heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, not knowing where this world was. He tried to use the spiritual energy in his body to sense the surroundings, but found that his spiritual power became extremely weak here, as if it was suppressed by some force.

Just when Zhou Xing was feeling confused, a light sound of footsteps came from behind him. He turned around quickly and saw a woman in a white dress slowly approaching. Her hair was as dark as the night sky, and her eyes were shining with a mysterious light.
