Jin Rou walked over to the old man and touched him, "I'll begin."
Then, he chanelled his qi towards the body of the old man. His qi was was perfected one and pure, so it was applicable to any person. The downside of it was, it was very limited. Any more channeled qi would make the receiver explode. Of course, he knew what to do so that the other party wouldn't suffer that fate.
The old man could feel the intense but good feeling when the qi entered his body. He might not have any affinity with such qi but his body accepted it fully.
Five minutes have passed, Jin Rou turned serious and said, "This will hurt a bit. You have to endure it or else this all will be a total failure."
The curse was more troublesome than Jin Rou anticipated. After all, it was there for so who knows how so long now? Nevertheless, he was still confident that he could remove it without much difficulty.
"Ah!" The old man felt an excruciating pain after the warning. As an apex existence, there was only a few which could instill such pain to him. How could it be a bit of pain? He was feeling pain all over his body! It felt like his insides were being crushed.
"Endure it. The poison is fighting back." Jin Rou said gravely, "This will be over in a minute or two so just grit your teeth."
Jin Rou knew it was very painful since even an apex monster like Blacklegend Perfect Immortal almost screamed in pain.
"Woooooz!" After three minutes, a black smoke appeared out of the old man's body. It shaped like a ghost that crept out almost everyone present. Then, it disappeared to the void after screaming in despair.
"Your long-time poison has been successfully removed." Jin Rou smiled, "Congratulations, you are now free from it."
Jin Rou didn't only use his qi. He also used certain techniques that his family passed down during his childhood. And fortunately, the poison this time wasn't as severe as that he experienced from the Lower Immortal or else he might have been exhausted now.
The old man felt his body much alive and energetic. His face revealed a ecstatic expression as he smiled, "Indeed, I feel so alive right now. It feels like I turned into being youth once again."
"I have dealt the first part of the deal, now you have to hand the stone over for us to do the second part." Jin Rou smiled.
"Okay, here it is." How could the old man go back on his words in this situation? The young man proved himself and it was natural that he do the end of his deal, handing over the green stone.
Jin Rou accepted the green stone with a smile on his face. With this, the tree could be saved with 100% success rate.
The old man might have some deep knowledge with the green stone, but Jin Rou, as a true apex existence, knew what the real value of the stone as he discovered many secrets of it.
"Now, tell me the details about a certain secret." Jin Rou spoke.
"It is regarding the Wind Gate's forbidden island." The old man spoke seriously, "In the True Wind Land, I discovered a secret passage that is leading to a secret door. However, it has too many seals and mysteries to solve before it can be opened."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Base on certain records I've found out, it is a treasury of the Windgod Perfect Immortal. You must know him, after all he was one of the most brilliant immortals that stood at the very apex of the world."
Compared to Blacklegend Perfect Immortal, Windgod Perfect Immortal had lived much older than he was. He also swept so many realms and instilled fear in his enemies.
"So, you want to enter his treasury to find a certain treasure?" Jin Rou asked. It was an Immortal Treasury they were talking about. For sure, it was filled with dangers lurking around. In fact, the Wind Gate might take action if they trespassed. Remember, it was a forbidden zone by the Wind Gate.
"Yes, and I also need an answer." The old man answered, "Anyway, with your help, I know that we can succeed."
He no longer doubted Jin Rou's capabilities. They could surely accomplish this with Jin Rou's assistance.
"Alright, let's do this then." Jin Rou was also curious what kind of treasure an apex existence like Windgod had stored here. And, why would he make a treasury in a forbidden land? Why couldn't he just leave the treasury to the next generations of the Wind Gate?
"Excellent." The old man activated a Wind Stone and it created a portal, "This will lead us to the True Wind Land, immediately. Will your companions wait here or you will bring them over?"
"Of course, I will bring them." Jin Rou smirked, "It's time to broaden their horizons."
After which, Blacklegend and Jin Rou's group entered the portal.

True Wind Land. It was a forbidden land which the Wind Gate had sealed for a lifetime as it was filled with tantamount of dangers lurking everywhere. As a matter of fact, even an Immortal at the perfect level had almost died here from trying his luck!
There were so many mythical beasts here that could stomp anyone to death. In fact, even the Wind Gate wasn't confident of surviving here. There were too many secrets and unknown in this place and even after millions of years, no one had uncovered it whole.
Jin Rou and his group was slowly walking in wooden bridge created by the heaven and earth after reaching the True Wind Land. The bridge felt like it would collapse anytime soon so they had to be careful as flight was restricted in this land.
The old man discovered this passage by fortunate encounter. If one crossed this bridge, they wouldn't be noticed by the emperors and king beasts of the land, a less trouble to deal with.. The downside though, was it was hardly holding on.
