"Fellow Daoist Hei, you are too polite. We are discussing the specific matters of picking the Earth Core Fire Lotus. Since you are here, let's discuss it together. Who is this fellow Daoist?" A middle-aged man in blue brocade clothes stood up. He looked like the host. He looked at Shen Luo and asked in a calm tone.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, and everyone else, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Shen Luo, a good friend of mine. I heard that Fellow Daoist Fu was going to pick the Earth Core Fire Lotus, so I came here with him." The Black Bear Demon bowed to everyone present and said so.
"My name is Shen Luo, nice to meet you fellow Taoists." The five people in the hall were all true immortals. Shen Luo stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"Fellow Daoist Hei, our trip to pick the Earth Core Fire Lotus is not a trivial matter and is fraught with danger. Why did you bring a human boy in the early stage of True Immortal with you?" Before Lord Fu could speak, the old turtle in the blue robe glanced at Shen Luo and said lightly, with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Everyone in the hall is a True Immortal, and the weakest is in the middle stage of True Immortal. The old turtle in the blue robe and Mr. Fu have even reached the late stage of True Immortal.
How could Shen Luo not hear the contempt in the monster's eyes, but he did not take it to heart. He just smiled faintly and looked away.
With his current level of cultivation and many magical weapons, he can even fight against Taiyi. He doesn't care what a late True Immortal demon thinks of him.
However, some people thought that Shen Luo's attitude was cowardly and retreating.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Turtle is right! I say, Black Bear Demon, you are just a human cultivator in the early stage of True Immortal, and you also bring him here to make a fool of yourself. Is there any relationship between you and this kid? Could he be the illegitimate child secretly born by some mistress? Are you bringing him here to get benefits?" The black-robed man next to the old turtle opened his mouth wide and laughed.
Shen Luo originally didn't want to bother with these monsters, but this man in black robe was so reckless in his words that a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Longya, shut your stinky mouth! I'm only giving you some face because of your master, Master Heishui. Don't be so shameless!" The black bear demon said angrily with a gloomy face.
"You..." The man in black robe was scolded so much that he stood up suddenly with a red face and looked at the old turtle.
The old turtle in the blue robe ignored the pleading look from the man in the black robe. There was no change in his expression and he didn't show any reaction.
When the man in black robe saw this scene, he immediately felt regretful and angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more. It was quite awkward for him to just stand there.
"Haha, fellow Taoists, calm down. We have gathered here to pick the Earth's Core Fire Lotus. It's disgraceful to start fighting among yourselves before this important event even begins." Upon seeing this, Lord Fu laughed and began to persuade.
The master spoke, and the black bear demon did not pursue the matter further. He snorted and pulled Shen Luo to sit down.
The man in black robe heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and immediately stopped pestering and sat down.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you have just arrived. Let me introduce these fellow Daoists to you." Lord Fu introduced the people present to Shen Luo.
The young man in white is called Hua Zhao, and he is a good friend of Lord Fu. The old turtle in blue robe is called Gui Qiansui, and he is a senior manager of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. The man in black robe is called Longya, and he is a wandering demon cultivator in the East China Sea. The woman in green robe is called Qingqing, and she is Longya's senior fellow student.
