Inside Azure Firmament Grotto.
After hearing the Black Bear's words, the young man's expression turned completely icy.
He swept a cold glance downward, his lips barely moving. "Discuss?"
"We descended to the lower realm under orders from the Heavenly Court. Granting you wild cultivators from the Outer Lands a chance to be entered into the Immortal Register is already an enormous fortune!"
"Such a heaven-shaking gift, and instead of accepting it at once with gratitude, you still want to discuss it?"
Faced with such a rebuke, cold sweat poured down Black Mountain Bear Lord's forehead. He could only bend lower at the waist, waving his hands repeatedly with an appearance of extreme panic.
Behind him, Bai Yulou and the others silently clenched their fists, yet could only force themselves not to erupt.
Just as the situation fell into a stalemate.
"Ah..."
A soft sigh came from the seat of honor.
The old man beside him raised a hand and gently stopped the young man from continuing.

With a smile on his face, he looked warmly at Black Mountain Bear Lord. "Qiuren is young and hot-tempered. Grotto Lord, please do not take offense."
"This matter is of great importance and involves much Annual Tribute. You have only recently taken control of this place, and your foundations are insufficient. It is only right that you wish to discuss it..."
Hearing this, the young man frowned slightly, but said nothing more.
"However, we bear the heavy responsibility of the Heavenly Court and must return early to report. We cannot wait in Azure Firmament Grotto for too many days..."
"How about this."
The old man held up three fingers and said calmly, "We will not make things difficult for you. Three days."
"Three days from now, Grotto Lord, give us a definite answer.
