For the next two days, Guo Feilong went to the mission hall every day, looking for targets among the female disciples who were handing in tasks.
In just these two days, Guo Feilong found seventeen more targets. Adding the six from the first day, including Feng Chengcheng, he spoke the same words to twenty-three female inner disciples with a score of nine or above, giving each ten bottles of third-grade cultivation elixirs.
At this moment.
Guo Feilong took out a jade slip for voice transmission and sent a message to Feng Chengcheng, asking her, "Have you thought it over? Will you agree to marry me?"
Soon, the jade slip vibrated with a hum. Guo Feilong input a bit of mystic power, and Feng Chengcheng's voice came through, "I... I agree."
Hearing her agreement, a slight smile appeared on Guo Feilong's lips. Feng Chengcheng agreeing to marry him was no surprise at all.
He had wealth.
He had looks.
He had status and power.
Beautiful women love heroes, but they also love power and wealth.
After chatting with Feng Chengcheng via the jade slip and setting a wedding date, Guo Feilong began asking the second and third female inner disciples. It didn't take long for him to ask all twenty-three female inner disciples.
Some agreed to marry him, while others did not.
Among the twenty-three, eighteen agreed to marry him, and they had already set wedding dates through the jade slip.
Five were still undecided.
Guo Feilong told these five that if they ever wanted to marry him, they could contact him anytime, and he would reserve a Ninth Grade Foundation Pill for them.
Having set wedding dates with these eighteen female cultivators, Guo Feilong no longer waited at the mission hall for opportunities but instead found the disciple who had brought him a chair that day.
For the price of ten low-quality spirit stones per person, he had this mission hall disciple named Liu Sanshi record the identity information of all the beauties visiting the mission hall.
Every month, Guo Feilong would visit the Spirit Creek Sect, precisely finding the beautiful female inner disciples on the list and having detailed conversations with them.
He treated this mission hall disciple, Liu Sanshi, as a matchmaker, helping him gather beauties.
Liu Sanshi, on the other hand, saw Guo Feilong as the God of Wealth. There were so many beautiful female disciples in the Spirit Creek Sect that counting spirit stones until his hands were sore was inevitable.

The wedding was set for the same day.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the wedding arrived.
The eighteen brides were all stunned.
They hadn't expected so many of them to marry him.
But apart from the Foundation Pill, which would be given after the wedding, they had already received the spirit stones and spiritual instruments as bride prices. It was too late to regret and back out of the marriage.
According to the customs of the cultivation world, if the man initiates the divorce, he cannot ask for the bride price back from the woman.
If the woman initiates the divorce, she must compensate the man ten times the value of the bride price.
Excluding the Foundation Pill, Guo Feilong had already given them spirit stones, elixirs, and spiritual instruments worth 100,000 each.
If any of them wanted to back out of the marriage, they would have to pay 1,000,000 spirit stones.
They were just disciples from ordinary small cultivation families. Even if they sold everything, including all their sacred treasures, spiritual instruments, and spiritual beasts, they couldn't gather 1,000,000 spirit stones.
And so, Guo Feilong married all eighteen of them on the same day.
In the bridal chamber.
Each wife and concubine spent three hours with him.
Eighteen of them meant forty-eight hours.
It took two whole days and nights to get to the last one.
During these two days and nights, apart from drinking some water, Guo Feilong didn't even have a meal, diligently working on the life gene continuation project.
The people of Yellow Rock Town were long accustomed to his marrying wives and taking concubines. They wouldn't be surprised or shocked even if he married a hundred wives and concubines at once. They would even praise him as a formidable lord.
When he married Feng Chengcheng and the other seventeen, all of them had friends come to send them off, mostly female inner disciples from the Spirit Creek Sect.
It's often said that beautiful women have beautiful friends, and this was no exception. Feng Chengcheng's friends who came to send them off were all stunning.
At first, they envied Feng Chengcheng and the others for marrying an exclusive Foundation Establishment stage elder, who was also a mid-level alchemist.
But when they discovered that Feng Chengcheng and the other seventeen women were all marrying the same man, and that Guo Feilong already had over a hundred wives and concubines at home, they no longer envied them. Guo Feilong tried to keep them as guests for a few more days, but they all found excuses to leave, running faster than rabbits.
Guo Feilong thought to himself, there's no need for you to run faster than rabbits. Once Feng Chengcheng and the others have children and become Foundation Establishment stage cultivators with the Ninth Grade Foundation Pill, raising their status to elders and extending their lifespans to around 500 years, let's see if you envy them then.
Foundation Pills have now become controlled items, and obtaining them is extremely difficult. They don't have Earth Grade spiritual roots.
Even with high-quality spiritual roots, without the aid of a Foundation Pill, the chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is only about two to three percent.
When they envy Feng Chengcheng and the others for becoming Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and enjoying endless glory, Guo Feilong will have a heart-to-heart with them, and they will likely agree to marry him.
For now, the time is not right, and Guo Feilong is in no hurry.
With Guo Feilong's efforts, in less than a month, Feng Chengcheng and the others were all successively pregnant.
In the following months, Guo Feilong would personally visit the Spirit Creek Sect's headquarters in the Heavenly Abode to hand over elixirs and collect alchemy materials.
Most importantly, he would obtain detailed information on beautiful female disciples from Liu Sanshi at the mission hall, then go and have heart-to-heart talks with those beautiful female disciples.
As a result, every month, he would bring back wives and concubines from the Spirit Creek Sect's Heavenly Abode headquarters.
Sometimes he would bring back as many as ten at a time, and at the very least, he would bring back two or three.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and Feng Chengcheng and the batch of eighteen wives and concubines all successively gave birth to their children.
Five of the children had spiritual roots.
Thirteen did not.
Unfortunately.
None of the five children with spiritual roots had high-quality spiritual roots.
The best one had medium-quality upper spiritual roots.
Two of them only had low-quality medium spiritual roots.
Guo Feilong used auspicious clouds to raise their spiritual roots to medium-quality medium.
Feng Chengcheng and the other eighteen were all at the ninth-level Qi Refining stage. After giving birth, Guo Feilong gave them each a Ninth Grade Foundation Pill and a medium-quality spiritual object crystal.
Three months later, Feng Chengcheng and the others, with only a few days apart, successively broke through.
Of the eighteen, only seven failed to establish their foundation.
The remaining eleven successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
When Feng Chengcheng and the eleven others held their Foundation Establishment banquets, their friends who initially thought they had married poorly were all enviously sour.
Guo Feilong wouldn't miss the opportunity. He found a chance to exchange voice transmission marks with Feng Chengcheng's beautiful friends.
Under the temptation of the Ninth Grade Foundation Pill, Guo Feilong married fifteen of Feng Chengcheng's good friends within twenty months.
