This concubine, who once gave birth to nine children for him, was named Nangong Wan. She had a dignified and graceful appearance, scoring about 9.5 in looks.
She hailed from a small cultivation family, possessing a high-quality medium Spiritual Root. At the age of eight, she joined the Spirit Creek Sect and reached the ninth level of Qi Refining by the age of 37. She is now 43.
Four years ago, Guo Feilong married Nangong Wan with a Ninth Grade Foundation Pill and a bride price of 200,000 Spirit Stones.
Two years ago, Nangong Wan had already given him a son.
Now, she has once again given birth to nine children, making Guo Feilong so delighted that he couldn't stop smiling for several days.
Not only is it extremely rare to have nine children at once, but even more extraordinary is that all nine children possess Spiritual Roots and can cultivate.
The nine children consist of five sons and four daughters.
And all of them have high-quality Spiritual Roots.
Nangong Wan has indeed made a great contribution.
Because of this.
Guo Feilong rewarded Nangong Wan with many cultivation resources and even gifted her a Spiritual Beast at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
He also used half of the auspicious clouds stored in the Family Fortune Cauldron to enhance the Spiritual Root aptitude of these nine children to Earth Grade low-quality.
These nine children are all candidates for the Golden Elixir stage. As long as nothing unexpected happens, once they obtain the alchemy recipe for the Yang Essence Pill, with one pill each, at least five or six of them will become Golden Elixir stage cultivators.
If the number of Yang Essence Pills is not a concern, all nine of them could potentially become grand cultivators at the Golden Elixir stage.
According to the Artifact Spirit of the Family Fortune Cauldron, the higher the cultivation stage his descendants reach, the more auspicious clouds the cauldron will produce.
If one of his children breaks through from the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection to the Golden Elixir stage, the cauldron can produce 250,000 to 350,000 auspicious clouds at once.
To upgrade a child with low-quality low-grade Spiritual Root to Earth Grade low-quality Spiritual Root requires a total of 70,000 auspicious clouds.
In other words, the more of his descendants reach the Golden Elixir stage, the more auspicious clouds he will have to enhance the aptitude of more children to Earth Grade low-quality.
Of course, Guo Feilong himself is not yet at the Golden Elixir stage, and who knows when his children will reach it.
In the days that followed, Guo Feilong lived a very fulfilling life. Besides alchemy, refinement, and making talismans, he enjoyed happy and comfortable times with his beautiful wives and concubines in his chambers.
Every month, he would also visit the Spirit Creek Sect headquarters to submit his elixir tasks and then seek out beautiful inner female disciples with no background, marrying as many as he could with Ninth Grade Foundation Pills and a large bride price of Spirit Stones.
In the blink of an eye, several years passed. Guo Feilong, who had long since possessed a Heaven Grade Spiritual Root, broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage on this day.

His original single-layer Foundation Establishment platform became two layers, doubling his mystic power storage capacity.
Because he broke through from the tenth level of Qi Refining at Great Perfection to the Foundation Establishment stage, the mystic power stored in his top-quality Foundation Establishment platform was higher than that of ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators and slightly less than that of ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
With this breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, the total mystic power stored in his Foundation Establishment platform exceeded that of ordinary late Foundation Establishment cultivators, almost reaching the level of ordinary late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection.
Three months after breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Guo Feilong cultivated the Golden Body Technique to the sixth level, making his body comparable to a medium-grade Sacred Treasure.
Over the years, Guo Feilong had married almost all the beautiful and virtuous inner female disciples of the Spirit Creek Sect.
Many of the beautiful inner female disciples who met his criteria were unwilling to marry someone with 360 wives and concubines. Guo Feilong had not taken a new wife or concubine from the Spirit Creek Sect for two consecutive months.
His reputation for having too many wives and concubines grew in the Spirit Creek Sect, earning him the nickname "Stallion," known for marrying and fathering many children.
Moreover, this unflattering nickname spread to several sects of similar strength around the Spirit Creek Sect.
Everyone knew that on Alchemy Peak of the Spirit Creek Sect, there was an elder named Guo, skilled in alchemy, who had married 360 wives and concubines and fathered over 2,000 children.
He married many of the original inner female disciples of the Spirit Creek Sect as wives and concubines after providing Ninth Grade Foundation Pills.
Starting with Sun Yufeng, he had 128 wives and concubines successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming Foundation Establishment stage elders of the Spirit Creek Sect.
With so many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the Guo family now had the reputation of being the top Foundation Establishment stage family under the Golden Elixir stage families of the Spirit Creek Sect.
Even the families of the ten or so Golden Elixir Ancestors in the sect did not have as many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators as Guo Feilong's wives and concubines.
The cultivation resources for so many wives and children required a minimum daily expenditure of 200,000 low-quality Spirit Stones, amounting to 600,000 low-quality Spirit Stones per month and nearly 7.2 million low-quality Spirit Stones per year.
An ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be unable to sustain such high Spirit Stone expenses.
Even a mid-level alchemist could not support such a large expenditure.
Unlike the Golden Elixir Ancestors in the sect, who received a fixed monthly salary of 1 million Spirit Stones and could earn an annual income of 30 to 40 million Spirit Stones by completing sect tasks.
To avoid suspicion about his wealth, Guo Feilong proved his high-level alchemist skills at Alchemy Peak of the Spirit Creek Sect four years ago, demonstrating his ability to refine cultivation elixirs for Golden Elixir stage grand cultivators.
The Arctic Continent's cultivation world lacked high-level alchemists.
Due to the insufficient number of high-level alchemists, the cultivation forces of the Arctic Continent's cultivation world.
Every year, they sold many spirit herbs and spirit medicines capable of refining Golden Elixir stage cultivation elixirs to the cultivation forces of the Northern Borders Continent, which operated pharmacies here.
High-level alchemists enjoyed Golden Elixir stage treatment anywhere in the cultivation world, even if they were only Qi Refining stage cultivators. As long as they were high-level alchemists, they received Golden Elixir level treatment from various cultivation forces.
After Guo Feilong publicly proved his high-level alchemist status, the Spirit Creek Sect sought to bind him permanently to the sect.
His status and treatment were on par with the Golden Elixir Ancestors in the sect, receiving 1 million low-quality Spirit Stones in benefits each month, along with other various benefits.
Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. While enjoying the high benefits and treatment of the Spirit Creek Sect, Guo Feilong also had to contribute to the sect, with fixed monthly alchemy task quotas.
The Spirit Creek Sect provided the spirit herbs and spirit medicines for refining cultivation elixirs for Golden Elixir stage cultivators, and he was responsible for refining them and handing them over to the sect. The Spirit Creek Sect then sold the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade elixirs he refined.
Some were supplied at low prices to the Golden Elixir Ancestors within the sect, while others were sold to grand cultivators of other cultivation forces, earning substantial profits. This was the earning power of a high-level alchemist.
Through marrying and taking concubines, Guo Feilong also learned a principle: as long as he married enough wives and concubines, he would have in-laws everywhere, including fathers-in-law, mothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law, essentially having people who were like family, aside from blood relatives.
To establish a firm foothold in the Spirit Creek Sect and avoid antagonism or dissatisfaction from any Golden Elixir Ancestors in the sect, Guo Feilong pondered for a long time and decided that he should marry a female descendant from each Golden Elixir Ancestor's direct line in the Spirit Creek Sect.
However, given his current large number of 360 wives and concubines.
The Golden Elixir Ancestors of the Spirit Creek Sect were unlikely to marry off their daughters, granddaughters, or great-granddaughters to him.
And the previous method of using Ninth Grade Foundation Pills and Spirit Stones as bride price had no appeal to the female descendants of the Golden Elixir Ancestors.
Because those Golden Elixir Ancestors could obtain Ninth Grade Foundation Pills for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, his Ninth Grade Foundation Pills held no allure.
To marry the young and beautiful female descendants of the sect's Golden Elixir Ancestors, he needed to offer a bride price that even Golden Elixir stage cultivators couldn't refuse.
The Yang Essence Pill was an irresistible bride price for Golden Elixir stage cultivators.
Unfortunately, he currently did not have the recipe for the Yang Essence Pill.
Just as Guo Feilong was regretting not asking the White Fox Fairy sisters which cultivation force they belonged to, he received a voice transmission from the White Fox Fairy sisters:
"Fellow Daoist Guo, we have arrived at the Spirit Creek Sect's territory. Do you have time to meet at a place to exchange alchemy experiences?"
