Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081

The woman, Lianzi, had been healed, and the Yuan Beasts outside had already been dealt with. At this moment, Ye Ming and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With everyone's persuasion, Ding Fan did not leave immediately. After being invited by Ye Ming and the others to join them, he agreed.

Ding Fan thought for a moment and then agreed. Originally, he planned to use sword flight, but he changed his mind. After all, although traveling with these people was slower, he could inquire about the whereabouts of Zhou Ruoran and others along the way, which was also a good decision.

Everyone was astonished by Ding Fan's medical skills, and at this moment, their gazes at Ding Fan were filled with admiration, especially after Ye Ming told everyone how Ding Fan saved him, killed Silver Horned Wolves, and almost instantly killed the Wolf King.

However, among the group, only Meng Zihao seemed a bit strange.

But Ding Fan naturally didn't care about this. He could feel that apart from the honest Ye Ming occasionally chatting with Meng Zihao, the two women obviously didn't think much of him.

Meng Zihao, however, tried very hard to please the woman who had been injured, Lianzi. However, it had no effect.

After a night of rest in the cave, to everyone's amazement, Lianzi could stand up, seemingly completely healed, with no visible signs of injury.

Once again, everyone was full of admiration for Ding Fan to the point of being in awe.

Someone who was nearly at death's door the night before was fully healed after just one night's rest?

What extraordinary medical skills!

Seeing Lianzi standing up, Meng Zihao couldn't help but try to ingratiate himself by offering support, but was tactfully refused.

Everyone packed up and set off directly, heading towards Xueling City.

The previous night, Ding Fan had inquired whether anyone had seen three beautiful women dressed in strange attire, but unfortunately, they hadn't.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any troublesome Yuan Beasts again, and the First Grade Yuan Beasts they did encounter were quickly dispatched by Meng Zihao, who hoped to impress the two beautiful women, Lianzi among them. However, they paid him no mind.

Instead, Lianzi would occasionally shyly exchange a few words with Ding Fan. Though the content was trivial, it was clear that Lianzi was grateful to Ding Fan, and there was a hint of shyness. After all, the way he treated her was quite intimate.

On their way, Ding Fan and his group met many others heading towards Xueling City just like them. These people also traveled in groups of three or five, and Ding Fan took the opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing.

Unfortunately, he found no trace of them along the way.

However, from the conversations on their journey, Ding Fan learned that the Dayang Sect recruiting disciples was no trivial matter. It was not only the biggest sect within dozens of kilometers, but it was also a highly prestigious and well-established sect throughout the entire Donglai Continent.

Importantly, Ding Fan heard during the conversations that the Dayang Sect had recently discovered three very strange people at sea, and these people were dressed strangely as well. This aroused Ding Fan's interest, knowing that Zhou Ruoran and the others wore clothes from Earth, so these three might indeed be them.

However, Ding Fan wasn't able to get any detailed information, and from many others, he learned that the Dayang Sect was very secretive about this matter. Most people were unaware of the specifics.

Ding Fan made up his mind that perhaps only by entering the Dayang Sect as an Inner Sect Disciple would he learn the detailed specifics of these matters.

After about two weeks, Ding Fan and his group finally reached Xueling City. As they approached the city gates, they saw that more and more people were gathering from all directions.

Even before entering the city, they could feel its bustling and prosperity.

"I heard that the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitment is about to begin, and the inns are already packed!"

"Yes, I heard that these inns have made quite a fortune. More people are coming here now; I should have opened an inn myself."

"Cut, what's the point in starting an inn? Getting into the Dayang Sect would truly be a matter of bringing glory to one's ancestors..."

Instantly, the streets were filled with discussions and bustling crowds.

Naturally, Ding Fan and the others overheard some of the discussions and were surprised that a single disciple recruitment by the Dayang Sect was attracting so much excitement.

Even in Ding Fan's previous life on the Nanmen Continent, he had never witnessed such a scene. After all, the Spiritual Energy on the Donglai Continent was much more abundant than in Nanmen, so the cultivators' levels here were higher as well. Thus, it was not surprising that the disciple recruitment event was so grand.

"Let's find an inn first, or else we might not find a place to stay if we take too long." This update ıs available on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

At this point, Ye Ming addressed the group, suggesting they find lodging.

It didn't take long for them to gather information about the disciple recruitment rules and to realize that although Xueling City is large, the influx of outsiders due to the recruitment event had multiplied the population several times over.

Obviously, solving the accommodation problem was urgent; nobody wanted to end up on the streets waiting for the disciple recruitment, which would be quite embarrassing.

Everyone agreed, and they swiftly began searching for an inn. Unfortunately, several places were already full, but after several twists and turns, they found a rather upscale inn that wasn't fully occupied yet, and so they went in.

"Two large rooms, please."

Ye Ming approached the inn's front desk and spoke to a slightly plump middle-aged man.

"Sorry, we only have one large room left; the rest are full. We only have the VIP rooms left,"

the plump innkeeper replied, to which Ye Ming said directly:

"Then get a big room, and also a VIP room."

Upon hearing Ye Ming's words, the slightly chubby boss smiled awkwardly and then apologetically said:

"Sorry, honored guests, but the VIP room can only be booked by those with a Dayang Sect invitation. Do any of you have the invitation?"

As soon as the chubby boss finished speaking, everyone looked a bit troubled. At this moment, Meng Zihao suddenly stepped forward and took out some paper-like item from his body, and slapped it onto the inn's front desk.

Meng Zihao said to the chubby man with an air of superiority, while his eyes glanced at the crowd, revealing unconcealed pride.

"It's indeed an invitation. Please follow me to the VIP area, esteemed guest."

The chubby boss was obviously not the type to be awed by grandeur. Upon seeing the Dayang Sect's inscription on the invitation, he wasn't overly surprised but maintained civil politeness.

Upon hearing the chubby man's words, the crowd couldn't help but look surprised. They hadn't expected the VIP treatment to be so exceptional!

Even Ding Fan was slightly taken aback, though he didn't really care much since cultivation was the same for him anywhere.

At this time, Meng Zihao, hearing the chubby boss's statement, looked pleased and then spoke to Lianzi:

"Lianzi, come with me to the VIP area. The environment there is much better than here, and I have some things to discuss with you."

Lianzi listened to his words and then casually shook his head, saying:

"No need. I can stay with Ding Fan and the others."

After finishing her words, Lianzi felt slightly awkward—it seemed improper to bring up Ding Fan just like that—but since she already mentioned it, there was no big deal.

Meng Zihao's eyes became solemn.

"Lianzi, I'm the eldest son of the Lushui Meng Family. Don't you understand my intentions? Do you really want to be with that penniless guy?"

Lianzi's expression turned sour upon hearing Meng Zihao's words. "You..."

And just at this moment.

Ding Fan looked down and discovered a jade plate had fallen out. Ding Fan was dumbfounded; the fallen jade plate was precisely the one He Qianyao had given him when he arrived in the Cultivation World.

At that time, Ding Fan had casually stored it in his clothes, not expecting it to fall out .

Ding Fan waved his hand in the air and grabbed the jade plate.

At this moment, the chubby boss glanced at Ding Fan's jade plate and couldn't help but stare at Ding Fan in astonishment, running over to him and respectfully said:

"Honored guest, may I take a look at your jade plate?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Ding Fan nonchalantly handed the jade plate over.

The chubby boss took the jade plate, examined it closely, and instantly looked shocked, rendered speechless, only staring at Ding Fan in a daze.

The jade plate was shockingly significant to the chubby boss. Though he had seen all kinds of people at this upscale inn, only this jade plate had stirred him each time he saw it. This was only the second time in his life he had seen a similar jade plate.

The last time he saw it, it was a Great Elder from the Dayang Sect who held this jade plate. What does a sect's Great Elder mean? It's likely that there aren't many people across the Donglai Continent who can rival such an existence.

The previous sighting was purely accidental, and now seeing it again, who could blame his shock?

"Honored guest, we've reserved the best and most expensive room just for you. You're welcome to stay anytime."

The chubby boss said to Ding Fan, full of respect.

Although he didn't ask the identity of the person, he didn't need to ask—having such a jade plate could only mean the person wasn't ordinary.

He was already prepared to reserve the inn's finest room for him.

Upon hearing the chubby boss's words, Meng Zihao looked utterly shocked!

What? Giving him the best room?

How is that possible?

I have the invitation, but didn't get such treatment. Just what is his identity?

Everyone looked at Ding Fan with an air of astonishment, each equally shocked.
