In the Spirit Creek Sect, Foundation Establishment stage elders are entitled to a cultivation cave abode in the sect's heavenly abode.
Guo Feilong is currently a Foundation Establishment stage elder in the Alchemy Hall of the Spirit Creek Sect.
He has the right to have his own cultivation cave abode in the sect's headquarters heavenly abode.
This time, Guo Feilong came to the sect's headquarters heavenly abode for three reasons: first, to visit his children; second, to bring gifts to Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue to strengthen their relationship; and third, to secure a cave abode in the sect's heavenly abode.
Guo Feilong is affiliated with the Alchemy Hall of the Spirit Creek Sect, serving as an elder, so his cave abode should be located on the Alchemy Peak.
The master of Shangguan Mingyue and Liu Feiyu, a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, oversees the Alchemy Peak and is the highest authority there.
Golden Elixir stage grand cultivators are either in secluded cultivation or busy with other matters, so they rarely manage affairs on the Alchemy Peak, let alone handle minor issues like cave abodes.
The person actually in charge of affairs on the Alchemy Peak is Yuwen Yanhong, the senior sister of Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue, and the third daughter of their master, who has a great talent for alchemy.
Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue brought Guo Feilong to meet their senior sister, Yuwen Yanhong.
Yuwen Yanhong is at the Great Perfection of the late Foundation Establishment stage. Having taken Beauty Retaining Pills in her youth, she appears to be perpetually eighteen or nineteen years old, with top-tier looks and figure. Guo Feilong rates her appearance at 9.2 out of 10.
In fact, Guo Feilong had known Yuwen Yanhong before.
After all, during his years as an outer disciple in the Alchemy Hall, how could he not know the elders of the hall?
However, during his time working hard and completing tasks in the Alchemy Hall, Shangguan Mingyue's master had not yet become a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, and Yuwen Yanhong had not yet managed the Alchemy Peak.
Guo Feilong knew Yuwen Yanhong.
But Yuwen Yanhong did not know him.
Liu Feiyu and Shangguan Mingyue had a very good relationship with their senior sister, Yuwen Yanhong.
Their foundational knowledge in alchemy was taught by their senior sister on behalf of their master.
Additionally, the Foundation Establishment elder whom Guo Feilong had saved years ago was Yuwen Yanhong's uncle, which added another layer to their relationship.
Yuwen Yanhong arranged a very nice cave abode for him on the Alchemy Peak.
The Gathering Spirit Array inside can make the spiritual energy within the cave abode ten times that of the outside, making cultivation much more efficient.
Without these connections, he would have at most received an ordinary cave abode.

The Gathering Spirit Array in such an abode would only gather three to four times the spiritual energy of the outside.
Guo Feilong did not plan to stay long in the sect's headquarters heavenly abode; he wanted to return to his fiefdom and enjoy life with his over a hundred wives and concubines. This cave abode was prepared for his children residing in the sect's headquarters heavenly abode.
If he didn't live there, his children would. This was a common practice in the Spirit Creek Sect and across all major sects in the cultivation world.
Sun Yufeng and five other Foundation Establishment stage wives and concubines of Guo Feilong served as stationed elders outside the sect's headquarters.
They were all near Green Sun County, some managing the cultivation market, others guarding certain areas in the heavenly abode, none residing in the sect's headquarters heavenly abode.
The cave abodes of Sun Yufeng and the other wives and concubines were also occupied by Guo Feilong's children.
This was a case of keeping resources within the family, taking care of one's own.
After handling the cave abode matters, Guo Feilong did not immediately return home to Yellow Rock Town.
He had another very important task to complete in the sect's headquarters heavenly abode.
On the third day of his visit to the sect's headquarters heavenly abode, Guo Feilong donned the special attire of an Alchemy Hall elder, holding a fan in his hand. His handsome and sunny face, along with his suave and gentle demeanor, made him very attractive wherever he went.
Whether it was the inner and outer female disciples or the Foundation Establishment stage female elders, they couldn't help but take a few extra glances at him.
It wasn't that they hadn't seen handsome men before, but men as handsome as Guo Feilong were rare and not easily encountered.
As the saying goes, it's very difficult for someone to reach out to someone above their level; if you're not in the same circle or tier, they won't pay attention to you.
But if someone of higher status wants to associate with someone below them, it's very simple.
Especially when it comes to marrying or taking concubines, this situation is even more common.
For instance, if a seventh-grade county magistrate wanted to take the emperor's daughter, a princess, as a concubine, it would be a delusional dream.
But if this seventh-grade county magistrate wanted to take a girl from an ordinary family in his county as a concubine, it would be almost certain, a done deal.
One has the power to take your life.
The other doesn't have the ability to refuse you.
That's how simple the logic is.
The Spirit Creek Sect has hundreds of thousands of inner and outer disciples.
Over ninety percent have no background or status.
To any ordinary inner or outer disciple without background, a Foundation Establishment stage elder is a lofty figure.
The mission hall is the place with the most inner and outer disciples.
When Guo Feilong walked into the mission hall, many disciples taking on tasks couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
"Carry on with your tasks, I'm just here to find someone," Guo Feilong said with a smile to everyone, allowing the ordinary inner and outer disciples to breathe a sigh of relief and continue with their work.
Standing in the mission hall as a Foundation Establishment stage elder wasn't quite appropriate, so an inner disciple in charge of the hall quickly brought over a chair.
Respectfully, he said, "Elder, it's too tiring to stand while waiting for someone. Please sit here and wait. If you need anything, you can tell me who you're waiting for, and I can wait for you."
Guo Feilong waved his hand, casually took out a bottle of second-grade cultivation elixirs for Qi Refining stage cultivators, and tossed it to the perceptive inner disciple, saying, "I'll wait here myself, you go about your business. If I need you, I'll call for you."
"Thank you for your generosity, Elder," the inner disciple in charge of the mission hall said happily, bowing and retreating.
In a place where no one could see, he opened the porcelain bottle and found ten second-grade cultivation elixirs inside, making him respect Guo Feilong even more.
Casually rewarding a bottle of second-grade cultivation elixirs, this elder was truly generous and worth currying favor with.
Guo Feilong had a purpose in giving him the bottle of second-grade cultivation elixirs, but that purpose was not to be mentioned for now.
At this moment, Guo Feilong's eyes were constantly scanning the female inner and outer disciples in the mission hall.
As he looked, he muttered to himself, "This one looks quite pretty, but her walking posture is off; she must have been with a man before, not suitable for me."
"That one looks decent too, but there's a long hair on the black mole at the corner of her mouth, not good, not good."
"This one has a great figure, at least a D-plus starting point, with a slim waist and long legs, but alas, her looks are only a 7 out of 10, not good, not good."
"Oh, this one looks really nice, face value 8.8 out of 10. Height around 172 centimeters, with a golden ratio figure, at least a D-plus, slim waist, and skin as white and tender as jade, very satisfied with this figure."
Guo Feilong's eyes suddenly lit up as he stood up from the chair and walked toward an inner female disciple who had just entered the mission hall.
Approaching her, Guo Feilong cleared his throat and said to this inner female disciple with a face value of 8.8 and a perfect figure, "Come with me for a moment, I have something to ask you."
Before the inner female disciple could react, he turned and walked toward the door of the mission hall.
The inner female disciple was momentarily stunned but quickly followed him out, wondering what this unfamiliar Alchemy Hall elder wanted with her.
However, she wasn't afraid, as there was no malice in Guo Feilong's eyes or tone earlier.
Moreover, the Spirit Creek Sect had strict rules, and no one was allowed to force themselves on female disciples.
She wasn't worried about her safety, just puzzled about why this Foundation Establishment elder was looking for her.
With this question in mind, the inner female disciple followed Guo Feilong outside.
Guo Feilong led her to a secluded spot where no one was around, then stopped and turned to look at the inner female disciple.
"What is your name?" Guo Feilong asked her.
