After leaving the area, Yuan went to the Dragon Pavilion that is known for its delicious food— at least that’s what the guidebook imed.


    "This smell... is delicious!" Yuan’s nose twitched with delight when he smelled a sweet and luscious aroma before he could even see the Dragon Pavilion, allowing him to reach the area without using his eyes.


    A few minutester, he arrived before this enormous pavilion that had round tables set up everywhere— both inside and outside of the pavilion, almost like a feast, and most of the tables were already upied by disciples.


    "Wow... this is a restaurant? I have never seen anything like this before." Yuan mumbled in a slightly dazed voice after seeing this ce that looked more like a public gathering than anything.


    "Hello, are you here to dine?" One of the disciples suddenly approached him and asked him.


    "Huh?" Yuan looked at this young man wearing a banner over his Outer Court disciples’ uniform that read ’Dragon Pavilion’ with raised eyebrows.


    "You work here? Even though you are a disciple?" Yuan couldn’t help but ask him.


    "Hm? You must be a new disciple if you’re asking such a question. And yes, disciples can work in the sect for contribution points," said the disciple.


    "I see..." Yuan nodded as he learned something new again.


    "Anyway, are you going to eat here?" The disciple asked him again.


    "Yes, I want to dine here," Yuan quickly nodded.


    "Since you are a new disciple, I can only assume that you don’t have a lot of contribution points, and the food here requires you to pay contribution points," said the disciple, and he continued, "If you want to use money, you’ll have to go to the cafeteria, or you can pay other disciples who have contribution points."


    "How much do they cost?" Yuan asked with slightly wide eyes. He has to use contribution points even for food?


    "Themon dishes generally cost around 1-5 contribution points while the most expensive ones are around 10 contribution points," said the disciple.


    "Oh, then there’s no problem," Yuan said with a calm look on his face.


    "You’re really going to eat here?" The disciple looked at Yuan with slight disbelief on his face.


    Because the Dragon Pavilion is a luxury, almost all of the disciples thate to the Dragon Pavilion are wealthy disciples that have plenty of contribution points, and most new disciples would rather save their contribution points for something more meaningful than food such as cultivation techniques and cultivation resources.


    "Yes," Yuan nodded.


    "Umm... I should’ve mentioned this early but you also need 10 contribution points to reserve a table for an hour. If you stay longer than an hour, it’ll be another 10 contribution points," said the disciple.


    "That’s fine." Yuan handed the disciple his gold identification token.


    "G-Gold!" The disciple covered his mouth and eximed in a shocked voice after seeing Yuan’s gold identification token.


    "I-I am deeply sorry for not recognizing you, Senior!" The disciple quickly bowed to Yuan after realizing that he was before a bigshot with a gold identification token.


    "Uh... don’t worry about it?" Yuan said with a puzzled look on his face.


    "Please follow me, I’ll bring you to our best table," said the disciple, and he proceeded to lead Yuan deeper into the pavilion.


    Sometimeter, they reached this secluded and small table that was surrounded by water with colorful fishes swimming within and beautiful flowers and giant water lilies floating around.


    "Wow... what a peaceful and calming ce," Yuan mumbled in a dazed voice as he could already feel his mood improving just from being in that atmosphere.


    "Here’s the menu, Senior. By the way, my name is Chu Bo," said the disciple as he handed a golden menu to Yuan after he sat down.


    "This is it?" Yuan was surprised to see only a little over 20 items on the menu.


    "Although there are not many choices, I can guarantee you that every dish on the menu is considered as a ’favorite’ by every disciple that has dined here before," said Chu Bo.


    "Furthermore, the menu changes every week."


    "Then can I get everything on the menu?" Yuan said without hesitation a momentter.


    "E-Everything?" Chu Bo looked at Yuan with wide eyes, and he continued, "The portions are not small, Senior. A single dish can feed two to four people."


    "It’ll be okay," Yuan said with a smile on his face. "I can handle it."


    "I-I understand... That’ll be a total of 124 contribution points..." Chu Bo said with his back feeling sweaty, as he cannot imagine spending 124 contribution points on food even if they taste extremely good.


    Yuan handed Chu Bo his identification token. Once the contribution points were paid, Chu Bo bowed to Yuan and said, "Thank you, Senior, I’ll be right back."


    Once Chu Bo left the scene, Yuan turned to look at the water and watched the fishes swim around elegantly for a few minutes until he noticed a figure suddenly jumping towards the water andnding on one of the giant water lilies floating in the middle of the water, and this figure was a beautiful youngdy holding what appeared to be an instrument in her fair hands.


    "Woooo! I have been waiting for this!" Someone from the other side of the pavilion suddenly shouted.


    "I came here today just to listen to Fairy Fei’s music!"


    "Me too! I cannot wait to hear Fairy Fei’s zither music!"


    Yuan raised his eyebrows after hearing the disciples from around the pavilion.


    "A zither? She’s going to y music with thatrge instrument?" Yuan mumbled to himself in a low voice after seeing this unfamiliar instrument, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart afterward.


    A momentter, this youngdy wearing pink robes known as Fairy Fei sat down on the giant water lily with the instrument known as a zither ced on top of herp, and after taking a deep breath, she ced her fingers on the thin strings and began ying music with it.
