The flying spiritual beasts comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage are truly remarkable.

Their speed far surpasses that of Foundation Establishment cultivators riding on clouds.

Guo Feilong was filled with envy.

Unfortunately, there’s no place to buy spiritual beasts of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Otherwise, he would definitely buy a few no matter what.

"When I become stronger, I must visit the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect and secretly learn their methods of nurturing spiritual beasts."

Guo Feilong made a silent vow.

Spiritual beasts, like human cultivators, can enhance their cultivation stage by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Similarly, they are also affected by their innate qualities. The better the quality, the higher the potential to reach greater heights.

However, unlike human cultivators, whose aptitude is determined by the grade of their soul, spiritual beasts are judged by the grade of their bloodline.

The bloodline grade of spiritual beasts corresponds to the level of spiritual roots in human cultivators.

A low-quality inferior bloodline is equivalent to a low-quality inferior spiritual root.

A low-quality medium bloodline equals a low-quality medium spiritual root.

And so on, they are all equated.

Spiritual beasts have an advantage over human cultivators in that the offspring born directly from high-level spiritual beasts are incredibly powerful from birth.

Guo Feilong had read in ancient texts that the offspring of spiritual beasts comparable to human cultivators at the Elemental Infant stage are born at the level of seventh, eighth, or ninth rank spiritual beasts, with no bottleneck up to the Foundation Establishment stage. Once they reach adulthood, they surpass the Foundation Establishment stage.

Some spiritual beasts, even stronger than those at the Elemental Infant stage, give birth to even more powerful offspring. It is said that some spiritual beasts are born comparable to Golden Elixir stage grand cultivators, with exceptionally fierce combat abilities.

In contrast, the children born to two human cultivators are quite fragile, and some even lack spiritual roots, making cultivation impossible.

Of course, heaven is fair. The more powerful the spiritual beast, the harder it is for them to give birth. Some particularly strong spiritual beasts may take hundreds of years to conceive and up to a thousand years to give birth.

While it is true that the higher the cultivation stage of human cultivators, the harder it is to have offspring, it is not as exaggerated as with spiritual beasts.

The bloodline level of spiritual beasts can be improved, but the methods to do so are only known to a select few experts.

Even a large immortal cultivation force like the Spirit Creek Sect does not have a method to enhance spiritual beast bloodlines.

Only specialized beast-taming sects like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect know these methods, and they guard them as family heirlooms, never sharing them with outsiders.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect not only has methods to improve spiritual beast bloodlines but also knows how to refine spiritual beast elixirs, both of which are things Guo Feilong desires.

...

On the road, Guo Feilong began a casual conversation with an elder of the Spirit Creek Sect surnamed Zhao.

Elder Zhao was not as talkative as the Deputy Sect Master Ma Huayun. Mostly, it was Guo Feilong asking questions and Elder Zhao providing answers.

In the blink of an eye.

A day and a half passed.

Guo Feilong and his companions had traveled nearly thirty thousand miles.

They finally arrived at the Third Grade Small World, the headquarters of the Spirit Creek Sect.

Having been an outer disciple of the Spirit Creek Sect for over a hundred years, Guo Feilong was more than familiar with the sect's headquarters, as if it were his own home.

If he hadn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and become an elder of the Spirit Creek Sect, he wouldn't even have the qualification to enter the sect again.

His children, whom he sent to the Spirit Creek Sect, had all become disciples under Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue.

Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue's master was a newly promoted Golden Elixir stage ancestor of the Spirit Creek Sect in the past century.

She was the elder sister of the elder Guo Feilong had saved back in the day.

A Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator is an incredibly strong backing.

Therefore, Guo Feilong sent his sons and daughters to Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue.

By relation, his children were the grand-disciples of the Golden Elixir ancestor of the Spirit Creek Sect, which meant they wouldn't be easily bullied in the sect.

Of course, Guo Feilong also wanted to establish some connection with the Golden Elixir ancestor of the Spirit Creek Sect, which is why he sent his children to Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue.

The Spirit Creek Sect granted him a First Grade Small World as a fiefdom not just because he was a mid-level alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The main reason was that his children were the grand-disciples of that Golden Elixir ancestor of the Spirit Creek Sect.

This relationship was particularly important; otherwise, the Spirit Creek Sect would not easily grant even a First Grade Small World to someone.

Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue's Golden Elixir stage master was skilled in alchemy and was the only high-level alchemist in the Spirit Creek Sect, in charge of the sect's Alchemy Hall.

Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue were now elders of the Alchemy Hall, residing on the mountain peak of the Alchemy Hall.

When Guo Feilong was an outer disciple in the Alchemy Hall of the Spirit Creek Sect, Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue hadn't even been born, and their Golden Elixir master wasn't yet a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.

After parting ways with Elder Zhao in the Spirit Creek Sect's Heavenly Abode, Guo Feilong stepped on a white cloud and flew directly to the Alchemy Hall.

His current status was that of an external elder of the Alchemy Hall, similar to a guest elder.

However, in terms of relationships, he was closer to the Spirit Creek Sect than a guest elder.

After all, he was born in the Spirit Creek Sect, even though he had left the sect.

Those guest elders, however, were not from the Spirit Creek Sect.

They came from various places, with all sorts of backgrounds.

Guo Feilong knew the layout of the Alchemy Hall well, but he didn't know where Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue lived. Although he came to see his children, he still had to visit their masters first, as a matter of etiquette.

There were many inner and outer disciples on the mountain peak of the Alchemy Hall.

Guo Feilong casually stopped a passing female inner disciple and asked, "Young lady, do you know where Elders Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue live?"

The inner disciple he stopped was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a white long dress, with a doll-like face, looking cute. She was stunned by Guo Feilong's appearance, thinking, "This man is so handsome, I've never seen such a good-looking man."

Guo Feilong wasn't wearing the Spirit Creek Sect's Alchemy Hall elder's robe. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he regained his youthful appearance, looking about twenty-one or twenty-two, and had concealed his cultivation aura.

The young girl didn't recognize him and didn't know how to address him, so she asked, "Who are you? What do you want with my master and martial uncle?"

Hearing her address them as master and martial uncle, Guo Feilong immediately knew who her master was.

Guo Feilong smiled and said, "Young lady, your master should be Shangguan Mingyue. I am a close friend of your master and martial uncle. I am the father of Guo Xiang, Guo Zhan, and Guo Wei."

The young girl's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected this handsome man to be the father of Guo Xiang and the others.

Suddenly feeling a bit disappointed, she said, "So you're the father of Junior Sister Guo Xiang and Junior Brother Guo Zhan. I am Ma Xiaoling, nice to meet you, Uncle Guo. Let me take you to my master."

Guo Feilong took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag. "Since you called me Uncle Guo, and you are a disciple of my friends and the senior sister of my children, I didn't prepare any gifts, so I'll give you this bottle of third-grade cultivation elixir as a meeting gift."

Before Ma Xiaoling could speak, Guo Feilong placed the bottle in her hand and said, "If you don't accept it, Uncle will be upset."

Ma Xiaoling, both happy and a bit shy, said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo. I'll accept it then."

A bottle of elixirs usually contained ten pills, equivalent to over a hundred low-quality spirit stones, which was a considerable amount for Ma Xiaoling. Her attitude towards Guo Feilong immediately warmed up, and she happily led him to her master Shangguan Mingyue's cave abode.

"Father, why are you here?" One of his daughters happened to be near the entrance of Shangguan Mingyue's cave abode and joyfully rushed into his arms.

Guo Feilong picked up his daughter, affectionately patted her head, and pinched her cheeks. "I missed you all, so I came to see you and your siblings."

Due to having hundreds or even thousands of children, Guo Feilong rarely held them except when they were born.

After all, with so many children, holding one and not the other could easily make them feel that their father was biased and didn't like them.

Guo Feilong rarely held any child, although he liked to hold them. After holding this daughter for a while, he put her down and took out a voice transmission jade slip, saying, "Daoist Friend Shangguan, I'm here to see you. I'm right outside your cave abode."
