Upon receiving the voice transmission from the White Fox Fairy and her sister, Guo Feilong immediately sent a message back, instructing them to book a room at an inn in a cultivation market far from the Guo family's Heavenly Abode and wait for him there.
The reason he didn't want the White Fox Fairy sisters to come directly to the Guo family's Heavenly Abode was because, after leaving the Fourth Grade Heavenly Abode small world in the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world, he had killed a Golden Elixir stage cultivator from the Liu family, and no one knew who was responsible.
The White Fox Fairy and Red Fox Fairy sisters were certainly aware, as the Liu family had put a bounty on him with a portrait of his fake face, which the sisters recognized.
When meeting the White Fox Fairy and Red Fox Fairy sisters, Guo Feilong still didn't plan to reveal his true face. If he did, they could deduce his real identity from his appearance.
He informed his first wife, Su Xue, that he would be away for a while and instructed her to send him a voice transmission if any urgent matters arose at home.
Leaving the minor affairs to Su Xue and Wang Yuyan, Guo Feilong stepped onto a white cloud and departed from the Guo family's Heavenly Abode.
In a secluded, uninhabited area, Guo Feilong retrieved a brand-new, human-skin-like spiritual instrument mask from his storage bag and put it on. After infusing it with mystic power, the mask adhered seamlessly to his skin, indistinguishable from the real thing, down to the pores.
The spiritual instrument mask, which he crafted himself, had the ability to block divine sense detection. Even Golden Elixir stage cultivators couldn't see through it; only those at the Elemental Infant stage or higher could penetrate its disguise.
Once he donned the mask, he transformed into a slightly handsome, mature-looking young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven.
Ten hours later.
Hovering above the Red Canyon cultivation market, seventeen thousand miles from the Guo family's Heavenly Abode small world, Guo Feilong put away his mid-Foundation Establishment stage flying spiritual beast into his storage bag and descended on a white cloud at the entrance of an inn.
In the Arctic Continent's cultivation world, where Golden Elixir stage cultivators were extremely rare, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were the brightest stars, drawing attention wherever they went from lower-level cultivators.
As Guo Feilong stepped into the inn, a second-level Qi Refining stage attendant immediately rushed over with a respectful smile, saying, "Senior, are you here to dine or stay? We offer a ten percent discount to all Foundation Establishment stage seniors."
"I'm here to meet a friend. You can go about your business." Having stayed at this inn twice before, Guo Feilong was familiar with the place and made his way upstairs to the third floor.
The White Fox Fairy had sent him a voice transmission, stating that their rented room was 308. After reaching the third floor, Guo Feilong went straight to room 308.

Outside the door was a defensive formation light screen, capable of blocking sound and divine sense detection, as well as preventing unauthorized entry.
Standing before the light screen, Guo Feilong took out a jade slip for voice transmission and sent a message to the White Fox Fairy: "White Fox Fairy, I'm here, right outside your door."
Soon, the light screen disappeared, the door opened, and two female cultivators in black dresses, wearing black hats, appeared before Guo Feilong.
Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng, the sisters from the Northern Borders Continent's cultivation world, were momentarily stunned upon seeing Guo Feilong's current appearance, but quickly recovered.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, please come in."
Sister Wu Xuemeng stepped aside, allowing Guo Feilong to enter, and the door closed behind him, with a defensive light screen rising outside.
The room the sisters rented was a luxury suite, costing five low-quality spirit stones per day, equivalent to a month's income for an ordinary Outer Disciple of the Spirit Creek Sect.
However, the spirit stones were well spent, as the room was a suite with approximately 80 square meters, featuring a living room and two bedrooms, luxuriously decorated.
Thanks to the Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual energy inside the room was about three times that of the outside.
Cultivators feel extremely comfortable in places rich with spiritual energy.
Moreover, for Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng, the cost of five low-quality spirit stones per day was like a drop in the ocean.
After the three sat down in the living room, they casually chatted and caught up.
The younger sister, Wu Yumeng, curiously asked, "Fellow Daoist Guo, can we see your true appearance?"
She had used her divine sense to examine Guo Feilong's face earlier and knew it was another fake mask.
Curiosity may kill the cat, but women's curiosity can be quite intense too.
"Sister, don't be so presumptuous," Wu Xuemeng said. "Fellow Daoist Guo must have his reasons for not wanting us to see his true appearance. Don't make such unreasonable requests in the future."
Wu Xuemeng then apologized to Guo Feilong, saying, "Please don't take offense, Fellow Daoist Guo. My sister has always been straightforward and without guile."
"No problem, no problem," Guo Feilong said, waving his hand dismissively. "If you two wish to see my true face, you only need to agree to two conditions."
"What are those conditions, Fellow Daoist Guo?" Wu Yumeng's eyes lit up with anticipation.
Guo Feilong smiled and said, "First, you both remove your hats so I can see your faces. Second, you must not investigate my true identity. If you agree to these, I'll remove this fake mask."
His conditions were fair and reasonable.
"Agreed."
The sisters agreed without hesitation.
Wu Yumeng, being the straightforward one, said, "I'll go first," and promptly removed her black hat.
A stunningly beautiful face appeared before Guo Feilong, with skin as white as sheep-fat jade, eyebrows like paintings, eyes like stars, a delicate nose, and a small mouth, looking about eighteen or nineteen, with a lively and straightforward demeanor.
"Sister, let me help you." Before Wu Xuemeng could remove her hat, her lively sister took it off for her.
Another breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before Guo Feilong, with the sisters bearing an eighty percent resemblance, almost like twins.
However, their temperaments were quite different.
Wu Yumeng was lively and straightforward, while Wu Xuemeng was dignified and composed, exuding the grace of a well-educated lady.
If Guo Feilong were to rate their looks, he would give both a 9.5 out of 10.
Most men would be stunned by such beauty, unable to take their eyes off them.
But Guo Feilong merely admired them briefly.
After all, he had 360 wives and concubines at home, with at least thirty or forty scoring 9.5 in looks.
Any man who has seen and been with many beauties develops a strong immunity to them.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, it's your turn," Wu Yumeng urged, her face full of anticipation, like a child eager to open a gift.
Without further ado, Guo Feilong's mask flashed with mystic power and was removed, revealing a very handsome face of a young man around twenty-one or twenty-two.
"Wow, Fellow Daoist Guo, you're so good-looking," Wu Yumeng exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand. "Better than any man I've ever seen."
In terms of looks, Guo Feilong was quite proud, with a face that was flawless from any angle.
What pleased Guo Feilong most was that his handsomeness was not effeminate but rather masculine and resolute, full of manliness.
After seeing Guo Feilong's stunning appearance, Wu Yumeng became chatty and lively, akin to a social butterfly.
Taking advantage of a pause when her sister was thirsty from talking, Wu Xuemeng finally had a chance to speak, "Fellow Daoist Guo, I have some thoughts on alchemy I'd like to discuss with you."
