Chapter 1648 Who cares? Let's just hide for one day at a time.

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, the dozen or so Nascent Soul Realm elders of the "Demon Sun Divine Palace" were all shaken and instantly guessed his identity.

No one dared to be negligent in the slightest. With a sway of their bodies, they landed steadily on the ground and almost in unison bowed deeply in worship.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Su Fan..."

These old monsters at the Integration Realm of the Demon Sun Divine Palace had already witnessed firsthand, through the transparent light screen, the awe-inspiring images of Su Fan sweeping across the Demon Realm and being invincible.

Therefore, even though these people were all Nascent Soul cultivators like Su Fan, they were as obedient as juniors in front of Su Fan.

That humble and respectful attitude even subtly revealed a hint of careful flattery.

Su Fan didn't put on airs or act pretentiously in front of them.

After all, these people genuinely helped protect the Su family's old residence, so he naturally couldn't be too arrogant in his attitude.

Su Fan is not that kind of person.

"Please rise, fellow disciples. Thank you all for your hard work these past few days..."

Hearing Su Fan's gentle and polite words, the group of Nascent Soul Realm elders felt a warm glow in their hearts, their faces beaming with joy. They bowed and replied, saying, "It's our duty, we dare not say it's too much trouble."

Su Fan exchanged a few brief pleasantries with his dozen or so fellow disciples, then bowed and took his leave, turning to head towards the Su family's old residence.

As soon as he stepped into the old house, the young men guarding the gate recognized him at a glance. They were so excited that they trembled and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Ancestor... Ancestor is back... Ancestor is back..."

The shout was extremely penetrating, instantly startling all the Su family members inside the old house.

In a short while, everyone rushed to the small square in front of the main hall. Led by Luo Guyin, they all bowed and kowtowed respectfully.

"Welcome home, Ancestor..."

Hundreds of voices rang out in unison, loud and deafening, each word filled with undisguised excitement and supreme pride.

Su Fan rose to fame in the battle at Xuan Guangtian, becoming incredibly popular. His name now resounds throughout the entire Yuanmang constellation, known to everyone.

His unprecedented and brilliant achievements made every member of the Su family feel extremely proud and honored.

Looking at the densely packed Su family members in the square, each with a reverent expression, Su Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

It's always the most reassuring and comfortable place to be at home.

Su Fan offered a few words of reassurance to the family members, then turned around with Luo Guyin and returned to their small courtyard.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, he immediately ordered his senior sister and the others, as well as the women and children placed in his personal secret realm, to all leave the secret realm.

They've been away from home for so long, it's time for them to reunite with their families.

After settling everyone in, Su Fan sat down with Luo Guyin and inquired in detail about the Su family's situation after he left.

Luo Guyin slowly opened his mouth and told him that during the time he was away, the Su family was relatively peaceful.

But ever since the footage of his battle with Xuan Guangtian was transmitted back to Zhengyuantian, the Su family has become extremely lively and has never had a moment of peace.

As if they had planned it in advance, all the major immortal sects and demonic sects in Zhengyuan Heaven sent people to deliver a large number of rare and exotic treasures as congratulatory gifts.

Many clan leaders personally brought their eligible daughters to the Su family's door, insisting on forming a marriage alliance.

Even if it were just to have his own daughter become Su Fan's concubine, he would be willing and wouldn't care at all.

Although many families in the past would send their daughters of marriageable age to the Su family as concubines, those families could not be considered wealthy or powerful clans.

After all, in the eyes of those powerful families, it was an utter disgrace to have their female relatives condescend to become concubines in the Su family. They couldn't bear to lose face like that.

Back then, Wei Xiaomo's family was considered one of the top-tier families in the sect, so her willingness to become Su Fan's concubine wasn't considered too degrading.

But now, the situation is completely different.

The top sects all sent people to propose marriage.

This time, not only the top families of the Demon Sun Divine Palace came, but also the top families of all the super sects in the entire Zheng Yuan Heaven. They all tried their best to send their direct descendants to the Su family.

What's even more ridiculous is that even the top families of those super immortal sects who have always been arrogant and self-important have brought their eligible daughters to visit, setting aside all their pride.

Those old fogies from the immortal sects and families were so eager to curry favor with the Su family, this "cash cow," that they practically abandoned all sense of shame.

There's no way around it, Su Fan is just too popular this time.

Not only did he single-handedly defeat the invading demon army, but he also pressed his advantage, fighting his way back into the demon realm alone and nearly wiping out the entire demon realm.

Such extraordinary strength makes him an absolute and invincible being in the entire lower realm of the Yuanmang constellation, unmatched by anyone.

In such circumstances, any family would desperately want to curry favor with the Su family, even if it meant sending their own direct descendant as a concubine.

After listening to Luo Guyin's story, Su Fan shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

He knew perfectly well that he could no longer stay at the Su family's old house.

Perhaps at this very moment, the news of his return to the Su family's old residence has already spread throughout the entire Zhengyuan Heaven.

By tomorrow morning, countless people will flock here, and he won't have a moment's peace.

If only people from Zhengyuan Heaven come, it's easy to deal with them; they can be sent away with a few words.

But Su Fan knew in his heart that he had already exposed his heaven-defying strength in the battle with Xuan Guangtian, and now he could no longer hide it.

The bigwigs of various sects in the Great World will definitely send people to see him.

Even the powerful figures of the human Daoist sects in the upper realm of the Yuanmang constellation would not let him off easily.

With the battle between human and demon cultivators raging, how could those people possibly allow him to stay peacefully in the Su family and enjoy some quiet time?

It seems that I won't be able to live peacefully anymore from now on.

With this in mind, Su Fan immediately made up his mind to leave the Su family's old house as soon as possible, find a quiet place to hide for a few days, and avoid the limelight.

"Fellow Daoist Guyin, I should leave as soon as possible. I'll have to entrust the Su family's old residence to your care from now on..."

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Luo Guyin was stunned, her face full of confusion.

Why did he leave at this time?

Now is the perfect time for the Su family to rise to power. They can take advantage of this opportunity to make connections with various factions in Zhengyuan Heaven and consolidate their position. Isn't this a good thing?

Besides, it's just dealing with some social engagements and receiving some visitors.

It's not like it's anything shameful, why are you in such a hurry to run away?

Luo Guyin grew angrier the more she thought about it, secretly cursing in her heart: "I've poured my heart and soul into your Su family, worrying myself sick and heartbroken."

You're really something, trying to run away at this crucial moment. You've gone too far.

"Su Fan... why are you leaving at this time..." Seeing Luo Guyin's angry expression and somewhat dissatisfied tone, Su Fan quickly softened his tone and patiently explained.

“Fellow Daoist Guyin, I had no choice but to do this. In this great battle, I activated the Blood Burning Secret Technique, which has already overdrawn my cultivation foundation. I must immediately go into seclusion to heal my injuries and must not be disturbed by anyone…”

Upon hearing this, the anger on Luo Guyin's face gradually faded, replaced by deep concern. She immediately inquired about the severity of his injuries, her tone full of concern.

Su Fan gave a few perfunctory replies, then used the excuse of seclusion to heal his injuries to quietly leave the Su family's old residence without alerting anyone.

Leaving the Su family compound, Su Fan found a secluded spot and immediately summoned the Ghost Crow, leaping onto its broad back.

He rode the ghost crow, transforming into a black shadow, and sped away, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Su Fan sat cross-legged on the back of the ghost crow, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression somewhat bewildered.

He was completely lost and didn't know where to go.

He was unfamiliar with the territory of Zhengyuantian, and had no one he knew who he could turn to for help.

Su Fan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't think of a suitable place to go.

Oh well, I'll just see where things take me.

Let things take their course. First, find a place where no one will bother you, hide away for a few days, and then we'll see what happens.

Su Fan knew very well that with his current fame and power, no matter where he hid, he would be found sooner or later.

Who cares? I'll just hide for one day at a time.

Let yourself relax for a few days first, and we'll deal with the rest later.

Su Fan rode the Ghost Crow, flying day and night for over a month before finally finding a relatively flat spot near an inconspicuous market town and slowly landing.

With a wave of his hand, he retrieved the ghost crow into his personal secret realm. Then, his eyes narrowed, and his divine sense spread out without reservation, like an invisible net covering the surroundings.

Within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, even the slightest movement of grass blades trembling or insects crawling was captured by his eyes, without missing a single detail.

The market town, located dozens of miles away, was in an extremely remote location, nestled in the wilderness. There were no powerful sects or profound cultivation families in the surrounding area, making it almost desolate and quiet.

Let's choose this spot.

Let's hide away peacefully for a while; every day we can be comfortable is a day we'll cherish.

Having made up his mind, Su Fan strode towards the market.

When he arrived at the gate of the market, he glanced at the dilapidated and shabby gate.

Above, the three large characters "Gemstone Workshop" were written in faded vermilion, the handwriting messy and haphazard.

This "Gemstone Quarter" is extremely small, with only one narrow and dilapidated main street in the entire market.

The streets were deserted, with very few pedestrians. Even the shopkeepers and their assistants in the shops along the street looked dejected and listless, as if they were just getting by.

However, as the saying goes, though the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs.

Although this market town is dilapidated and small, and its scale is far smaller than those bustling markets near major sects, it has all kinds of shops.

However, each establishment is quite small, and it is immediately apparent that this place was designed specifically for rogue cultivators at the bottom of society.

In order to completely conceal his identity and avoid being discovered, Su Fan had already secretly used magic to change his body shape and appearance.

He transformed his once tall and ethereal figure into an ordinary and mediocre one, and his face into a generic, unrecognizable one.

At the same time, he suppressed his cultivation level to the Qi Refining stage, concealing his aura completely, making him look no different from the low-level rogue cultivators in the market.

After disguising himself, he stepped lightly into the market and quickly toured the small market from beginning to end, becoming familiar with its layout and the shops.

This little shabby place is really quite shabby.

Su Fan's gaze swept over the dilapidated shops and deserted streets, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

But it was precisely in this remote and deserted corner that he was best able to hide temporarily and avoid all the hustle and bustle.

With that in mind, Su Fan no longer hesitated and headed straight for the depths of the market.

There was an inconspicuous little courtyard there, where the family that ran this "gemstone shop" lived.

He pushed open the door and entered. Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he went straight to the family members in the courtyard and inquired about the situation of the vacant shops in the market. He said that he wanted to open a talisman shop here and make a living in peace.

Upon hearing that someone wanted to open a shop in the "Gemstone Workshop," the family members guarding the workshop immediately brightened up and became exceptionally enthusiastic, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

Before Su Fan could ask any more questions, he quickly got up and took the initiative to help Su Fan choose and arrange a small shop facing the street.

After all, this gem shop is located in a remote area, and few people are willing to open a shop here on weekdays.

For the cultivators guarding the market, it was undoubtedly a good thing that someone had taken the initiative to visit them, so they were naturally extremely enthusiastic.

A few days later, a small shop on the side of Gemstone Street quietly hung up a signboard with the three simple characters "Talisman Hall" written on it.

There was no fanfare, no shouting or advertising; it opened quietly and without fanfare.

After the opening of the Talisman Hall, it did not cause the slightest ripple in the deserted Gemstone Shop. There were no customers who came upon hearing the news, nor did anyone deliberately gather around to watch.

Only the shopkeepers of a few nearby shops, out of politeness, came over for a few words of conversation before dispersing, and no one else came after that.

Su Fan initially planned to take out some low-level cultivation supplies from his personal secret realm and casually display them in the shop to make a show of it.

But after searching around, he discovered that even the worst items he had were treasures that only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above could use.

If it were displayed, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and expose one's identity.

Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily put away the treasures in the secret realm and buy some ordinary talisman paper and ink from a general store in the market.

After returning to the shop, he began to make low-level talismans by hand.

With Su Fan's current strength, let alone these low-level talismans, he can easily handle even ninth-level immortal talismans and top-level treasure talismans.

However, most of the independent cultivators in this market are at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, and they only need the lowest-level talismans, so they don't need high-level treasures at all.

With no other choice, Su Fan had to grit his teeth, suppress all his strength, and focus on making the lowest-level talismans such as Arrow Avoidance Talisman, Lightness Talisman, Guiding Talisman, Golden Shield Talisman, and Vajra Talisman.

To avoid drawing attention, he used the roughest and clumsiest brushstrokes possible.

Sometimes they would even deliberately make a few mistakes in writing or omit a few runes, striving to make these talismans look no different from those made by ordinary low-level talisman masters.

Even so, with his extraordinary cultivation and ultimate control over the Dao of Runes, the low-level runes he created were full of spiritual energy and had effects far exceeding those of ordinary rune masters.

Not long after, a few independent cultivators who came to the Gemstone Shop to replenish their supplies accidentally walked into the Talisman Hall and bought a few low-level talismans on a whim.

After using it, I was immediately amazed by the talisman's superb effects.

Through word of mouth, Su Fan's talisman shop gradually became famous among the independent cultivators in the gemstone market, and more and more people came to buy talismans.
