Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082

Upon hearing the slightly chubby owner's words, everyone was taken aback.

This inn's size alone indicated a very high-end place; they only came here because they simply couldn't find another inn. An owner of such an inn is certainly not an inexperienced rookie! They must have seen all sorts of people, yet when Meng Zihao presented the Dayang Sect's invitation, the owner merely nodded indifferently.

Now, seeing how the owner was treating Ding Fan with such overwhelming respect and awe, how could they not be shocked?

Ye Ming looked at Ding Fan with a face full of astonishment; Ding Fan was simply too enigmatic, leaving him deeply shaken.

Involuntarily, Ye Ming began to seriously ponder Ding Fan's identity. What kind of person could he possibly be?

Lianzi and the lady in the purple dress glanced at the slightly chubby owner, who was standing before Ding Fan with a bowed posture, also astounded.

An owner of such a prestigious inn certainly wasn't an ordinary person, yet here he was, seemingly completely submitting to Ding Fan. How could they not be surprised?

They were aware that the finest rooms in this inn were not easily rented out to others. After all, Xueling City was already overcrowded, and many cultivators didn't even have a place to stay.

Moreover, from the owner's remarks, whether Ding Fan stayed here or not, the best, and most prestigious room would be reserved for him.

To enjoy such treatment, perhaps there were only a few in the entire Xueling City!

A few of the inn's staff members looked at their slightly chubby boss in disbelief; the scene was simply unimaginable to everyone.

For those who didn't know their boss, it might not seem like a big deal. But as employees interacting with him daily, they knew all too well his usual demeanor.

They had never seen the boss act this way; even when officials from the Imperial Court came, he didn't act so dramatically. Few could make him behave so extravagantly in years!

Could that youth be another exceptional figure? Yes, yes, he must be!

Ding Fan didn't mind too much about this, but he surmised that He Qianyao might have some connection with the Dayang Sect, and possibly a very special one. Otherwise, why would the inn owner be so astonished upon seeing the jade plate and act so respectfully toward him?

Since the owner recognized the jade plate, Ding Fan naturally went with the flow and then requested the owner to allow his companions to join him in the best room.

The slightly chubby owner dared not hesitate and agreed immediately.

In his eyes, although Ding Fan appeared young and didn't dress like a high-ranking elder of the Dayang Sect, his insight was far beyond that of ordinary people. He didn't care about Ding Fan's identity at first glance; what he valued was the jade plate.

Clearly, he understood that this jade plate held an extraordinary position within the Dayang Sect and was typically unavailable to ordinary people.

Regardless of how the young man in front of him acquired it, as the jade plate was now in his possession, the slightly chubby owner concluded that he must not be an ordinary person.

When he first saw the jade plate, even the highly-esteemed elder of the Dayang Sect only stayed once at his inn and didn't give him a chance to ingratiate himself. After all, forming even a slight amicable connection with such a prominent figure would be immensely beneficial to him.

Encountering Ding Fan now, how could he not seize the opportunity to make a good impression?

"Young Master, if you and your friends will follow me, please, after you."

The slightly chubby man said respectfully to Ding Fan, then stood beside the staircase, inviting Ding Fan with utmost respect.

At the counter, Meng Zihao's face was clouded with gloom. Suddenly, nobody cared about him anymore; numerous inn staff followed the slightly chubby owner and greeted Ding Fan with bright smiles and utmost respect. If even his boss treated Ding Fan this way, it was obvious to anyone that the person was no simple character.

How could any of them dare to offend him in the slightest!

Beside him, Meng Zihao's face twisted in venomous indignation, feeling extremely upset, as only moments ago, he was full of pride, and now, he was utterly neglected.

The disparity was unbearably uncomfortable!

Following this, apart from Meng Zihao, everyone else followed Ding Fan under the guidance of the slightly chubby owner to a spacious hall.

The hall was full of flowers and birds, clean and bright, with exquisitely crafted furniture and intricately carved details, truly an extraordinary place, even surpassing the decor of most prominent families.

Seeing this scene before them, everyone couldn't help but feel delighted, having rarely ever seen such beautiful surroundings.

In the hall, surrounded by numerous private rooms, after admiring the magnificent hall, everyone sought out a room and entered.

Coming into the room, Ding Fan felt immensely satisfied; despite being private, the room was as large as half the hall outside, with all the furniture fully equipped, not to mention the myriad and countless decorative items.

"Are you satisfied with this place, Young Master?"

The slightly chubby man respectfully asked Ding Fan.

Ding Fan nodded indifferently and then said.

The slightly chubby owner maintained an extremely bright smile, and after respectfully explaining some of the room's facilities to Ding Fan, he left. However, not only did the smile on his face not disappear, it became even more radiant.

The slightly chubby owner exited Ding Fan's room, recalling the other's satisfied answer, and couldn't help feeling immensely joyous, then descended with a smile he couldn't hide.

After a quick tour of the room's interior, Ding Fan sat cross-legged in a dedicated cultivation spot and began to cultivate.

Time passed unwittingly during Ding Fan's cultivation, and before he knew it, a night had gone by. When Ding Fan finished the next morning, he felt extraordinarily refreshed. His cultivation had progressed significantly after a night of training. Ding Fan inwardly praised the effects of cultivation in this Cultivation World; it's indeed different.

At that moment, the sense of saturation within Ding Fan's dantian was markedly stronger. He estimated that his cultivation was nearing a breakthrough; even with regular cultivation and no Spirit Pills, he might break through to the Emergence Stage in a few months!

Ding Fan felt a wave of joy, but his face soon returned to calmness. Thinking of Zhou Ruoran and others, a sense of urgency involuntarily surged in his heart, but he knew anxiety was useless; he had to find them quickly with the right method.

The weather had begun to clear up, and Ding Fan gazed out through the room's large floor-to-ceiling window, filled with emotion.

The room's large glass window was clear and bright, facing Xueling City's main street, capturing the entire scenery outside. The street was already crowded, the flow of people so dense it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as rubbing shoulders.

Ding Fan estimated that the number of people was probably at least ten times the usual in Xueling City, given that there wasn't much time left before the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitment.

Then Ding Fan pressed the doorbell, even he wasn't sure how the mechanism worked in this Cultivation World. Having stayed in numerous hotels, it was truly the first time he had seen such technology akin to Earth's, showing the high level of this inn.

Sure enough, in just a moment, a beautiful waitress arrived at Ding Fan's door.

Ding Fan directly inquired about the whereabouts of Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing from her, but unfortunately, the waitress shook her head with a polite smile, not having heard of them.

Subsequently, Ding Fan asked about the Dayang Sect discovering three mysterious individuals at sea, but she showed the same expression, knowing nothing about it.

Initially, Ding Fan assumed that given the high class of the inn, they must know more than the average person. However, upon receiving her response, he felt somewhat melancholic, which further confirmed his belief.

Regarding the Dayang Sect discovering three mysterious individuals at sea, only by entering the Dayang Sect would one know.

Finally, after making some inquiries with the waitress, Ding Fan learned that the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitment would start this afternoon. After learning some things, the beautiful waitress, maintaining a constant smile, left.

There were still a few hours before the recruitment began, and before long, Ye Ming and others came to find Ding Fan.

The group gathered, and after a while, Meng Zihao also arrived.

However, upon entering and seeing the scene before him, Meng Zihao was utterly shocked!

This place was worlds apart from what his so-called VIP area was; living here compared to there was simply heaven to his place.

Unable to hide the unpleasant expression on his face, Meng Zihao looked distressed.

His so-called VIP area was nothing but rubbish!

"Ding Fan, thank you. Without you, we couldn't possibly stay in such a fine environment."

At this moment, Lianzi earnestly thanked Ding Fan. Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥

Subsequently, Ye Ming and others chimed in, showering Ding Fan with gratitude.

Ding Fan smiled lightly, saying little more. Since everyone came together, he felt there was no need for such politeness.

During a casual conversation among the group, Meng Zihao's face flickered with emotions, then he said:

"Let's quickly attend the disciple recruitment; that's our big deal, everything else is trivial."

When Meng Zihao mentioned the disciple recruitment, a sense of superiority rose in his heart again. To him, he was 100% confident in joining the Dayang Sect. He just waited for the moment to see what else Ding Fan had to brag about!

The group didn't seem particularly interested in Meng Zihao's words, then simply tidied up before walking out of the inn, showered with smiles by the slightly chubby owner.

By then, the rules and methods for the Dayang Sect's disciple recruitment had been announced. Everyone knew the specific location, and soon they headed towards "Cloud Ascension Peak."
