The day after Guo Feilong's wedding night with Wu Yumeng, he began teaching the two sisters about the concepts and theories in alchemy passed down from the Yellow Emperor.
These concepts and theories are crucial not only in alchemy but also in the arts of refinement and formations. They are as important as the human brain; without understanding these concepts and theories, one only learns a craft at best.
If one possesses their own concepts and forms a feasible and complete theory, they gain a soul to guide them forward on their path.
Anyone with talent, who isn't too dull, can become a low, mid, or high-level alchemist. Those without talent are another matter.
To elevate their skills to the grandmaster level, an alchemist must have their own set of feasible concepts and theories.
Different grandmaster-level alchemists have their own concepts and theories developed through their experiences. Some alchemists, due to similar personalities and experiences, can learn from their predecessors and become alchemists.
However, some alchemists, due to their unique personalities, have concepts and theories vastly different from those of their predecessors, even opposing them.
Such individuals cannot gain effective experience or guidance from their predecessors, and they remain stuck at the grandmaster level, unable to advance.
The alchemy concepts and theories passed down from the Yellow Emperor involve precise analysis and inclusivity, combining various elements and effects of all things in the world to create elixir recipes, forming the most suitable alchemical path for oneself.
Not only in alchemy, but even in formations, the cultivation world cannot compare to the formations passed down from the Yellow Emperor.
In this cultivation world, formations can be set up anywhere using pre-made formation flags, disks, and bases, without needing to consider the surrounding environment.
The advantage is that even non-formation masters can quickly and easily set up a formation using these tools.
However, the formations passed down from the Yellow Emperor require consideration of the environment before setting up, utilizing the natural surroundings like mountains, rivers, and forests to create a grand formation.
The same grand formation can be set up differently depending on the geographical environment, with no fixed method.
But by mastering the theory of utilizing the surrounding environment and the forces of nature, one can quickly set up a grand formation.
The advantage is that using the same level of formation materials, the formations passed down from the Yellow Emperor are more powerful.
The downside is that non-formation masters cannot set up these formations, as the threshold is too high.
Even formation masters in this cultivation world cannot set up these formations without understanding the Yellow Emperor's formation theories.

In the following days, Guo Feilong spent his nights happily with Wu Yumeng in their room and his days in the living room explaining the Yellow Emperor's alchemy concepts and theories to the two sisters.
Believing that practice is the best teacher, and not wanting to waste the resources of these two high-level alchemists, Guo Feilong used the monthly quota of Sixth Grade spirit herbs and medicines given by the Spirit Creek Sect for them to practice alchemy while applying the theories.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed. During this time, Guo Feilong took three days to return to the Guo family's Heavenly Abode to spend time with his wives, concubines, and children.
One night, through his experience and keen sense of life, Guo Feilong realized his efforts had paid off—Wu Yumeng was pregnant.
In this cultivation world, both immortal cultivators and ordinary people cherish their children and would never consider abortion.
If a fetus dies accidentally in the womb, they would be heartbroken and erect a monument for it, unlike the current situation on Earth where unwanted pregnancies often lead to abortion.
Abortion is essentially the hospital forcibly dismembering a living fetus with forceps and scissors and discarding it in the trash.
Guo Feilong once saw a news story about a couple where the woman was eight months pregnant, just a month away from giving birth.
However, due to disagreements over the bride price, the woman went to the hospital to abort the child, which is essentially killing her own child.
Many children born prematurely at seven months are already considered human.
If a child is eight months in the womb, how can it not be considered a person?
Of course, the couple's breakup and abortion are their own business, and he has no time to worry about it, as the aborted child is not his.
After Wu Yumeng became pregnant, Guo Feilong took the two sisters back to the Guo family's Heavenly Abode.
When Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng learned that Guo Feilong had over three hundred wives and concubines and more than a thousand children, they were stunned.
They had guessed that Guo Feilong would have wives and concubines, given his skilled techniques during their wedding night, but they never imagined he would have so many. It was too late for regrets now, as they were already pregnant, and they had to accept their fate.
In this cultivation world, married couples, including those who take concubines, do not divorce or write divorce papers.
In the days that followed, Guo Feilong taught Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng, along with his talented wives and children, the path of alchemy.
He had already passed on the Yellow Emperor's alchemy concepts and theories to Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng. When they could break through and become grandmaster-level alchemists depended on their own understanding and fortune.
Like a perfect seed planted in suitable soil, it was now up to the seed to sprout, grow, bloom, and bear fruit.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng would certainly become grandmaster-level alchemists; it was only a matter of time.
Guo Feilong was adept at utilizing resources. He not only had Wu Yumeng and Wu Xuemeng help him with alchemy but also had them guide his talented wives and children in the art.
Guo Feilong mentioned to Wu Yumeng and Wu Xuemeng that he wanted to obtain the alchemy recipe for the Yang Essence Pill or even just one Yang Essence Pill.
Unfortunately, Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng were only collateral members of the Wu family.
Even though they had decent spiritual root qualifications and were high-level alchemists, their current status and position did not allow them access to the Yang Essence Pill recipe.
The high-level recipes they could access were only for conventional Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grade elixirs.
To obtain the Yang Essence Pill recipe, they would need to be direct descendants of the family, which was clearly impossible as they were collateral members.
They were nearly a hundred generations removed from the direct line, sharing only a common ancestor.
To obtain the Yang Essence Pill recipe as collateral members, they would need to become grandmaster-level alchemists.
At that point, all the family’s recipes would be available to them, reflecting the status and treatment of a grandmaster-level alchemist.
However, despite being collateral members, as high-level alchemists, if they wished to attempt breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage, the family would provide each of them with a Yang Essence Pill for free.
The Wu family had many cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage at Great Perfection who could attempt to break through to the Golden Elixir stage, requiring a large number of Yang Essence Pills.
Priority for the Yang Essence Pills was given to geniuses with Earth Grade spiritual roots, talented direct descendants, and those with strong connections, before less important and collateral members.
Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng had applied for Yang Essence Pills from their family fifteen years ago and were scheduled to receive them in twenty years.
Wu Xuemeng and Wu Yumeng knew that Guo Feilong’s alchemy inheritance had the ability to reverse-engineer elixir recipes.
Five years later, when they received the Yang Essence Pills from their family, Guo Feilong could reverse-engineer the recipe or create a new one based on the Yang Essence Pill.
As for when the two sisters would advance to grandmaster-level alchemists, it could be three to five years or even ten to twenty years.
One day, Guo Feilong arrived at the Forbidden Zone in the small world of the Heavenly Abode.
