Half a month later.
Once again, by the Falling Star River before Carefree Valley.
Su Wan secretly met with Zhang Shuai again. She handed him a storage ring, though a faint trace of unease showed in her expression.
Zhang Shuai keenly noticed something was off and immediately asked with concern, "Fairy Su, did you run into some trouble at the market?"
Su Wan shook her head and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with the market. Several fellow cultivators in the valley kept asking about my whereabouts today. They seem to have grown suspicious of me. Fellow Daoist Zhang, I've done my best with this purchase. I bought basically every pill and spiritual material in the market that could nourish the soul. I shouldn't stay long. I'll return to the valley first. You must take care!"
With that, Su Wan turned into a streak of light and hurried back to Carefree Valley.
Holding the storage ring, Zhang Shuai frowned as guilt welled up inside him. It seemed he had brought Su Wan some trouble.
He scanned the supplies within the storage ring with his Divine Sense. Spiritual materials were piled up like mountains, and there were over ten thousand bottles of pills.
However, most were seven-star immortal materials and seventh-grade pills. There were not many eight-star immortal materials or eighth-grade pills.
That was hardly surprising. Even in the Primordial World, eight-star immortal materials were not cheap, and only limited quantities could be bought on the market.
Even so, Zhang Shuai was already extremely satisfied. The amount of immortal materials and pills Su Wan had acquired this time was dozens of times greater than what he had plundered in the Immortal Realm.
His original plan had been to find some remote, hidden place in the Primordial World
