"Fellow Daoist Black is too serious. We are discussing the details of the Earth Core Fire Lotus. Since you are here, let's discuss it together. Who is this Fellow Daoist?" The middle-aged man in blue brocade stood up. He seemed to be the host. He looked at Shen Luo and asked in a calm tone.
"Fellow Daoist Fu Gong and everyone else, let me introduce you. This is Shen Luo and Shen Daoyou. He is a good friend of mine. I heard that Fellow Daoist Fu Gong is going to pick the Earth Core Fire Lotus, so I came with you." The Black Bear Spirit cupped his hands and said.
"I am Shen Luo. Greetings, Fellow Daoists." The five people in the hall were all True Immortals. Shen Luo stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Fellow Daoist Black, our trip to pick the Earth Core Fire Lotus is not a trivial matter. It is full of danger. Why did you bring an Early-stage True Immortal Human boy?" Before Duke Fu Gong spoke, the blue-robed old turtle glanced at Shen Luo and said in a dissatisfied tone.
Everyone in the hall was a True Immortal. The weakest one was a Middle-stage True Immortal. The blue-robed old turtle and Duke Fu Gong had even reached Late-stage True Immortal.
How could Shen Luo not hear the contempt in the demon's voice, but he didn't take it to heart. He just smiled faintly and looked away.
With his current cultivation and many magic treasures, he could even contend with a Grand Immortal. He did not care what a Late-stage True Immortal demon thought of him.
However, some people thought that Shen Luo's attitude was cowardly.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Turtle is right! I say, Black Bear Spirit, you brought a mere Early-stage True Immortal Human Cultivator. Could it be that this boy is related to you? Could it be that he is the illegitimate son of some mistress? Did you bring some benefits? "The black-robed man next to the old turtle opened his mouth and laughed.
Shen Luo did not want to argue with these demons, but this black-robed man spoke without thinking. Killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Shut your stinky mouth, Dragon Fang! I'm only giving you some face on account of your master, Black Water Being. Don't be so shameless! "The Black Bear Spirit's face darkened as he said angrily.
"You …" The black-robed man was scolded badly. He stood up with a red face, and looked at the old turtle.
The blue-robed old turtle turned a blind eye to the black-robed man's pleading gaze. His expression didn't change at all, and he didn't say anything.
When the black-robed man saw this scene, he immediately felt regret and anger, but he didn't dare to say anything. At this moment, he just stood there awkwardly.
"Haha, fellow cultivators, please calm down. Everyone is gathered here to pick the Geocentric Fire Lotus. This major event has not yet begun, yet you are already fighting among yourselves. How improper." Seeing this, Duke Fu chuckled and tried to persuade them.
Since the owner had spoken, the Black Bear Spirit did not pursue the matter any further. He snorted and pulled Shen Luo to sit down.
When the black-robed man saw this, he also let out a sigh of relief. He immediately stopped pestering and sat down.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, this is your first time here. Let me introduce you to these Fellow Daoists." Duke Fu introduced the people present to Shen Luo.
The white-robed man was named Hua Zhao, a good friend of Duke Fu. The blue-robed old turtle was named Gui Qiansui, a chief steward of the East Sea Dragon Palace. The black-robed man was named Long Ya, an individual cultivator of the East Sea Beastkin Clan. The green-robed woman was named Qing Qing, and she was Long Ya's junior.
Shen Luo nodded his head in greeting to everyone else, but when he introduced Dragon Fang, he directly ignored it, as if he did not hear it. Duke Fu secretly smiled bitterly, but the Black Bear Spirit laughed heartily, looking very happy.
Long Ya was ridiculed by the two, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"Since Mr. Black brought Shen Daoyou here, you must be convinced of Shen Daoyou's strength, so I won't say anything more. However, it is very dangerous to pick the Geocentric Fire Lotus. If there is any loss during the process, you have to bear the consequences. Shen Daoyou must consider carefully. "Duke Fu finally said to Shen Luo.
"I understand." Shen Luo nodded.
"Fellow cultivator Fu, you said that you found a large number of Geocentric Fire Lotus in a dangerous place, but you refused to tell us the specific location. Now that everyone is here, and there is even one more, can you tell us?" Gui Qiansui asked slowly.
Hearing this, the others all looked at Duke Fu.
"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that the information would be leaked. On the other hand, I was making preparations. Now that everyone is here, the preparations are almost done. Naturally, there is no need to hide it. The Geocentric Fire Lotus is actually in the Zhurong Basin." Duke Fu stroked his beard and chuckled.
"What! Zhurong Basin! "Gui Qiansui and the others, including the Black Bear Spirit, were shocked.
Shen Luo looked on coldly. Although he didn't know where the Zhurong Basin was, judging from their reactions, it must be an important place.
"It's the Zhurong Basin! That place is the Eastern Sea Desolate Region, full of lava and volcanoes. It is extremely hot, enough to burn immortals and turn them into immortals. There are also many flame beasts entrenched there. Very few cultivators who have gone there in the past have been able to return alive. My master went there in the past and never returned. Duke Fu, you actually want us to go there? Do you want us to die? "Dragon Fang said in a somewhat exasperated manner, as if he had been fooled.
"What kind of treasure is the Geocentric Fire Lotus? How could it be born in an ordinary dangerous place? Even if it was born by chance, it would have been snatched away by others. Since I said that it is a place where a large number of Geocentric Fire Lotus gather, you should be mentally prepared that it will not be an ordinary dangerous place." Duke Fu's face darkened, and he retorted rudely.
Dragon Fang was refuted to the point that he was speechless, but his eyes were still filled with indignation.
"Fellow cultivator Fu's words are reasonable, but the Zhurong Basin is too dangerous. With our previous preparations, we will definitely die there. Fellow cultivator Fu, can you give us a few more days to make more preparations?" Qing Qing, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth. Her voice was as soft as water, intoxicating those who heard it.
"No, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter is really important. Since you already know the secret of the Geocentric Fire Lotus, you can't leave. Please don't do anything unnecessary, lest we misunderstand each other." Duke Fu refused without hesitation, and his sharp eyes glanced at everyone.
The people in the hall suddenly felt as if they had been seen through from head to toe.
"Fellow cultivator Fu, what do you mean? You don't let us prepare, and you don't allow us to leave. Do you want us to go to the Zhurong Basin? "Gui Qiansui said coldly.
"Fellow cultivator Gui, don't worry. In fact, the preparations to go to the Zhurong Basin are: one is to avoid fire, and the other is to replenish spiritual power. I have already prepared them for you." While speaking, Duke Fu flicked his sleeve on the table.
Five white beads the size of a thumb appeared on the table, emitting a shocking cold air. The cold air could be felt from afar, and the temperature of the whole hall dropped a lot.
"These five Frost Serpent Pearls are made from the cold sacs of the North Sea Frost Serpent. They have an excellent ability to repel fire and heat. If you wear these pearls, you will be able to travel unimpeded in the Zhurong Basin," Duke Fu said to Shen Luo and the others, but he did not include Hua Zhao.
Shen Luo's heart slightly moved. When Duke Fu mentioned the Zhurong Basin, Hua Zhao's expression was very calm, as if he already knew about it. It seemed that the two of them had an unusual relationship.
