Zhang Wan did not feel all that much sorrow at parting.
Life was a constant cycle of meeting and separation, and he had long since grown used to it.
Besides, they had merely gone to another branch. They were still members of the Jade Bone Sect, and whether in a year or two, they would meet again.
He only hoped that the next time they met, it would not be by seeing their names on a death list.
In the blink of an eye, six years passed.
For those six years, Zhang Wan had stayed at the Dust Bone Fourth Branch of the sect, contentedly working as a Spirit Planter while cultivating in seclusion in the logistics department.
His cultivation had risen from the Third Level Postnatal all the way to the Sixth Level Postnatal.
This had greatly satisfied his two nominal masters, Wang Yue and Li Guannian.
However, Zhang Wan was not currently at the outer disciples' residential area. He was in "Yifu Market."
The open and hidden markets near the outer disciples' residential area were decent, but they were ultimately too low-end. As Zhang Wan's cultivation improved, they could no longer satisfy his needs.
Moreover, now that his cultivation had reached the Sixth Level Postnatal, with other methods to supplement it, he had the safety to back himself up. There was no need to keep hiding in the sect without moving an inch.
Thus, he had quietly left the sect and come alone to Yifu Market to purchase what he wanted.
Zhang Wan had considered bringing along some fellow disciples so that their journey there and back would be safer.
But what he wanted to buy was something to serve as a trump card. He did not want anyone to know about it, so he abandoned the idea.
