Yuwen Yanhong was already over three hundred and seventy years old, with a spiritual root of high-quality medium grade.
Both her mother's and father's families were Golden Elixir stage cultivation families, making her the cherished princess of her clan.
From birth, she never lacked cultivation resources, and seventy years ago, she had already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection.
Thirty years ago, Yuwen Yanhong received a Second Grade Yang Essence Pill prepared by her family and went into seclusion to attempt breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm.
Unfortunately, even with the Second Grade Yang Essence Pill, which could increase the success rate by fifteen percent, her overall chance of breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage was only about twenty percent.
The final result was unfortunate; she failed to break through to the Golden Elixir stage, and her Foundation Establishment platform and spiritual root were both injured.
After more than thirty years of recuperation, her Foundation Establishment platform and spiritual root still had not fully recovered.
It would take another twenty years for them to completely heal, at which point she could attempt to break through to the Golden Elixir stage again.
For a Golden Elixir stage cultivation force like the Spirit Creek Sect, it would take thirty to forty years to obtain one or two Yang Essence Pills, and even then, they were of low quality, First or Second Grade.
Even low-quality First or Second Grade Yang Essence Pills were precious resources in the Spirit Creek Sect, where there were many competitors and limited resources.
The Spirit Creek Sect had over a dozen Golden Elixir stage ancestors, each with a large family, so they naturally had many descendants with good spiritual root aptitude.
When the Spirit Creek Sect obtained a Yang Essence Pill, it was distributed in turn among the Golden Elixir stage ancestors, who then gave it to their descendants.
This rule had been in place for tens of thousands of years.
According to the rules, it would be at least six hundred years before her mother, Sun Shangxiang, would receive a Yang Essence Pill again.
By then, she would have long passed away.
In reality, a genius in a Golden Elixir stage family only had one chance in their lifetime to receive a Yang Essence Pill.
With so many geniuses in the family, others needed it too.
Many more geniuses, because they were not direct descendants or their parents and elders were not powerful, did not even have the qualification to obtain a Yang Essence Pill.
Mentioning the Yang Essence Pill, Yuwen Yanhong's eyes suddenly dimmed as she said, "Barring any unexpected events, I will never receive another Yang Essence Pill in this lifetime."
Guo Feilong learned from Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue that Yuwen Yanhong had once used a Yang Essence Pill to attempt breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage but failed. He used the same method he had with Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue.

He asked, "Senior Sister Yuwen, if someone offered a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill as a bride price to marry you as a wife or concubine, would you accept the bride price and marry him, or would you refuse it? Speak honestly, no lies."
Yuwen Yanhong was taken aback, not expecting him to ask such a question and demand honesty.
Without hesitation, Yuwen Yanhong replied, "Is there even a question? Of course, I would immediately accept the bride price and marry him."
Few cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage could resist the temptation of a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill. Once they became a Golden Elixir stage cultivator, they would gain over a thousand years of life span, elevated status, and enjoy worldly riches. Only a fool would refuse.
"Alas," Yuwen Yanhong suddenly sighed, "it's just a pity that no one has offered me a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill as a bride price. If someone did, I would marry him right away."
Hearing this, Guo Feilong was secretly delighted. Discussing cultivation resources with female cultivators was indeed easier than talking about emotions.
He took out a small jade bottle from his storage bag and placed it on the table between their chairs.
Then he smiled and said, "Senior Sister Yuwen, I've liked you for a long time. This is a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill I obtained by chance. If you are willing to marry me, this Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill will be your bride price. Do you agree?"
Yuwen Yanhong's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at him and the small jade bottle on the table, not expecting Guo Feilong to make such an offer.
She rolled her large eyes at him, picked up the small jade bottle with her fair and slender hand.
With a pop, she pulled out the spiritual wood stopper from the jade bottle, and a familiar elixir fragrance wafted into her nose.
"It's the scent of a Yang Essence Pill!"
Yuwen Yanhong's spirit was lifted, and she eagerly poured out the Yang Essence Pill from the small jade bottle.
The golden, glowing Yang Essence Pill looked like a small golden sun in her palm.
One rune script.
Three rune scripts.
Five rune scripts.
Seven rune scripts.
Nine rune scripts.
Counting to the last rune script, Yuwen Yanhong's breath tightened, her eyes filled with joy and shock.
A Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill could increase the chance of forming a Golden Elixir by fifty percent.
For a cultivator like her at the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection, it was an irresistible temptation.
She carefully put the Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill back into the small jade bottle and looked at Guo Feilong, asking, "Are you really willing to use a Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill as a bride price?"
"Of course," Guo Feilong replied. "As long as Senior Sister is willing to marry me, after the wedding night, this Ninth Grade Yang Essence Pill will be yours."
Yuwen Yanhong blushed, lowered her head, and said softly, "Alright, I agree to marry you."
Guo Feilong happily stood up, took out a jade slip, and informed his family in the palace that he was getting married today and would take Yuwen Yanhong as his wife or concubine.
His family was used to him marrying and taking concubines over the years, and they even had a department dedicated to arranging wedding chambers.
On the same day, Guo Feilong brought Yuwen Yanhong home as his bride.
He didn't inform Yuwen Yanhong's parents or elders.
After the deed was done, he would notify them and arrange a wedding ceremony with Yuwen Yanhong's family later.
Around eight in the evening, since it was summer, the sky hadn't completely darkened yet.
Guo Feilong eagerly arrived at the wedding chamber.
With a wave of his hand, a defensive light screen rose outside the wedding chamber.
Guo Feilong walked to the bed and lifted Yuwen Yanhong's red bridal veil.
A stunningly beautiful and shy face appeared before Guo Feilong's eyes.
Beautiful!
So beautiful!
Gorgeous!
So gorgeous!
The essential spiritual instrument for the wedding chamber couldn't be left out.
Guo Feilong took out a spiritual instrument lamp from his storage bag.
It was a crystal ball similar to a Night Pearl.
He infused it with mystic power, and the light it emitted illuminated the entire wedding chamber as if it were daylight.
"Can we turn off the light? I... I'm embarrassed," Yuwen Yanhong said in a soft voice.
Guo Feilong chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, you don't understand. Having light in the wedding chamber creates a better atmosphere. Trust me, I have experience."
He eagerly sat on the edge of the bed.
What followed was the omitted ten thousand words of the life gene continuation research project.
Three hours later, Guo Feilong finished the life gene continuation research project, and he couldn't help but think, "What expression should I have when I meet my mother-in-law, Sun Shangxiang, next time?
It's just that Yuwen Yanhong looks so much like her mother, Sun Shangxiang. They could be mistaken for twin sisters."
In the days that followed, aside from alchemy and crafting talismans, Guo Feilong visited Yuwen Yanhong every day.
Each visit lasted at least two hours.
With his constant efforts, Yuwen Yanhong, who was at the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection, successfully became pregnant, with the presence of a small life in her womb.
Boom!
Two months after Sun Shangxiang's pregnancy, a terrifying Golden Elixir aura suddenly emanated from the Guo family's Forbidden Zone.
At the same time, above the Guo family's Heavenly Abode small world, a tribulation cloud quickly formed, expanding rapidly in all directions.
In less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the pitch-black tribulation cloud covered the entire Guo family's Heavenly Abode small world.
