Guo Feilong turned around and asked, "Red Fox Fairy, is there anything else?"
He didn't know the real names of the two women and still called them by their fake names. Of course, he hadn't revealed his true name either, and others referred to him as Fellow Daoist Guo.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, could you leave a voice transmission mark? We would like to visit you in the future to seek advice on alchemy," said Red Fox Fairy, Wu Yumeng, taking out a jade slip for voice transmission to exchange contact information with him.
In the hearts of the two sisters, this Fellow Daoist Guo, who could easily annihilate a late Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivator at Great Perfection, must have an extraordinary background. Otherwise, an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would only be on the receiving end when facing a demon cultivator of the same stage.
Only those from top sects and cultivation families could possibly annihilate a late Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivator so effortlessly. Demon cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage had bodies comparable to low-quality sacred treasures, and even Golden Elixir stage cultivators couldn't harm their physical forms. Only by exhausting their mystic power and breaking their demon transformations could one kill a demon cultivator whose body was as tough as a low-quality sacred treasure.
To kill a demon cultivator of the same stage, one needed either extremely powerful sacred treasures or incredibly strong spells and divine powers. Neither of these conditions was something an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could possess; only top-tier cultivation powers could.
Guo Feilong was also proficient in alchemy, and during their exchange of alchemy experiences, his views on elixir combinations and properties opened a new world for the sisters, revealing that elixirs could be experimented with in such ways.
Although their family was not a renowned alchemy family, their ancestor was a grand cultivator at the Elemental Infant stage, a well-known figure in the Arctic Continent's cultivation world. The Wu family possessed countless texts on alchemy, refinement, formations, and talisman crafting. Every family member with a spiritual root was required to master at least one craft unless they were particularly dim-witted.
The sisters were considered geniuses in alchemy, though not unparalleled. They began learning alchemy at eight, became low-level alchemists at ten, mid-level alchemists at twenty, and high-level alchemists at fifty. Now, at over two hundred and forty years old, they were on the verge of reaching the grandmaster level in alchemy, but had been stuck at the high-level for nearly a century.
Their exchange with Guo Feilong in alchemy gave them hope of breaking through to the grandmaster level. Guo Feilong bore them no ill will, and they had fought alongside him, so not leaving a voice transmission mark would be a lifelong regret.
Guo Feilong and the sisters exchanged voice transmission marks in the jade slip. As he was about to leave, the elder sister, Wu Xuemeng, asked, "Fellow Daoist Guo, could you tell us where we might find you? We would like to seek your guidance on alchemy in the future."
Guo Feilong didn't want to reveal his background but was interested in learning more from them about spirit herbs and medicines. After a brief consideration, he replied, "I am in the Arctic Continent's cultivation world. If you want to find me, send a voice transmission within the Spirit Creek Sect's territory, and I will come to meet you."

Although he wanted to gain alchemical knowledge from them, he didn't want others to know his true identity or address. Since he was wearing a mask and hadn't revealed his true appearance, and there were thousands of cultivation families with the surname Guo in the Spirit Creek Sect's territory, no one would suspect him.
When they met again, he could claim his real surname was Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, or Wang, and that Guo was just a temporary alias.
"Arctic Continent's cultivation world, Spirit Creek Sect?" The sisters had heard of the Arctic Continent's cultivation world but not the Spirit Creek Sect. In their understanding, the Arctic Continent's cultivation world was a backwater place without even a single Elemental Infant stage cultivator. If not for the Human Cultivation Alliance prohibiting other cultivation forces from invading, the Arctic Continent's cultivation world would have long been annexed. The Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world would be a province, and the Arctic Continent's cultivation world a county, with the Spirit Creek Sect being just a village within it. It was normal for them not to know about the Spirit Creek Sect.
Their family had several Elemental Infant stage cultivators, over a hundred Golden Elixir stage elders, and nearly ten thousand Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, with a population of billions living in a Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world rich in Spiritual Energy. Such a family was barely considered an upper-class family in the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world, far from being a top-tier family.
In the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world rankings, the Wu family was 78th, not even in the top 50. A place like the Arctic Continent's cultivation world, without even an Elemental Infant stage cultivator, was too weak to attract any attention.
However, to break through to the grandmaster level in alchemy, they would visit Guo Feilong regardless of his origins to exchange alchemical experiences. A high-level alchemist's status was comparable to a Golden Elixir stage grand cultivator, while a grandmaster level alchemist's status was comparable to an Elemental Infant stage cultivator.
The Wu family currently had only one grandmaster level alchemist. If the sisters could become grandmaster level alchemists, the Wu family would prosper even more. The ability of a grandmaster level alchemist to earn spirit stones was formidable, but despite years of guidance from their family's grandmaster level alchemist, they had made no progress.
The sisters had been stuck at a bottleneck in alchemy for over a century, unable to break through. Only their chance encounter and exchange with Guo Feilong in alchemy gave them hope of becoming grandmaster level alchemists.
"Farewell, fair maidens!" Guo Feilong cupped his hands in salute and stepped onto a white cloud, departing into the distance. This Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world was a treasure trove, and he wouldn't leave without reaping its benefits.
Half an hour later, Guo Feilong entered a cave, setting up an illusion formation at the entrance to conceal it. Inside, he began to inventory the storage bags of the three late Foundation Establishment stage demon cultivators at Great Perfection, as well as those of the dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
The storage bags of the three demon cultivators contained a vast array of spirit herbs, elixirs, and other treasures, with a total value exceeding three billion low-quality spirit stones. The storage bags of the dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were worth only seventy to eighty million low-quality spirit stones, most of which were obtained by Guo Feilong and his companions in this Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world.
The high value of the three demon cultivators' storage bags was likely due to their having killed many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and seized their possessions. The storage bags also contained many demon cultivator elixirs, whose value Guo Feilong couldn't determine, so he didn't count them in spirit stone value.
To Guo Feilong's disappointment, none of the items in the storage bags of the three demon cultivators or the dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were particularly useful to him. After inventorying the storage bags, he began checking their spiritual beast bags, cursing the three demon cultivators for killing three Foundation Establishment stage spiritual beasts, effectively depriving him of three such beasts.
However, the spiritual beast bags still contained five Foundation Establishment stage spiritual beasts. Although none were flying beasts, they would still be useful for guarding his home. Overall, the harvest was quite good.
Three days later, Guo Feilong ventured into the territory of Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts, where the spirit herbs and medicines were more abundant and of higher grade. To Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts, low-grade spirit herbs and medicines were like weeds and were largely untouched, so there were many.
Fortunately, spiritual beasts couldn't practice alchemy; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many low- and mid-grade spirit herbs and medicines. Where there were Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts, there were usually high-grade spirit herbs and medicines or other treasures. Back in the Qi Refining stage, he could already fight with fairies comparable to Golden Elixir stage. Now, at the Foundation Establishment stage, his mystic power was dozens of times stronger than at the tenth level of Qi Refining, making him capable of hunting Golden Elixir stage spiritual beasts.
