Jin Rou had already expected this kind of response. He chuckled and answered, "Actually, you have no othee choice but to give it to me. It's either you agree on a deal, or I get that by force and you get nothing. The choice is up to you."
"Young Friend, are you threatening me?" The temperature of this place turned negative. It was so cold that it could freeze apex experts to death, "I don't know who you are, but you entered my place to rob me?"
He was an apex existence that could dare to look down on everyone. He was one of the few old monsters who had lived for so long now since time immemorial.
"Threatening or not, it's up to you how to think about it." Jin Rou smirked, "I want that stone, and you can't do anything about it."
The old man looked at Jin Rou with serious expression, myriads of worlds appeared in his eyes as he broke through the void covering Jin Rou. However, he didn't reach the deepest part, "What a deep fellow."
He had to admit it. Jin Rou was a capable person challenging him, "No wonder you are so braze robbing me in this daylight, it turns out you are quite an apex existence yourself too. I, Blacklegend Perfect Immortal, is in amazement for your achievement."
"Blacklegend Perfect Immortal!" Louise knew this old man. She didn't expect that this old fossil was still alive!
If one heard this title, they would immensely tremble in fear. After all, this existence had instilled fear into various major powers of the entire Immortal. He swept through the thousand worlds and million realms as if it was just cleaning his backyard. He alone defeated numerous powerful legions without any external help.
Many had wanted his head, putting a large bounty that could tempt even the overlords of the regions. It was rumored that he was one of the strongest perfect immortals in the entire history!
The old man looked at Louise, who spoke out just now, and smiled, "It seems that the Mortal Disaster Palace has made a genius this time around. The prosperity will surely be on theirs if they successfully nurture you."
It was a high praise coming from an apex existence himself. Thus, the comment must be real and legitimate. After all, the old man had gone through countless trials and tribulations. His eyes were honed to its maximum potential.
He paused for a moment and continued, "Disaster Perfect Immortal hasn't wasted so much of his blood for nothing."
"You know our forefather?" Louise asked. Her voice was filled with nervous. She was talking to a monster right now.
"Of course. We have suffered together in the past during our youth. We often clash our heads to know who's stronger than who." The old man smiled, reminiscing the past, "Unfortunately, your forefather created a serious mistake, leading to his doom. If not, the Mortal Disaster Palace will soar immediately."
Although the Mortal Disaster Palace was an overlord of the Mortal Region, they were the weakest out of all the three overlords governing each region.
Louise didn't comment on this. She wasn't so privy about the matters of the past and refrained from saying anything.
"In actuality, I want your green stone for the sake of the Mortal Disaster Palace." Jin Rou could see that the old man had some sentiments with the palace and explained, "Their guardian is sick and it's a deadly disease that if not treated, it can die."
"So you want this green stone to cover the extensive amount of vitality it needs?" The old man could easily understand what Jin rou wanted to do, "It's not easy. Even if I give this to you, you have a low chance of emerging successful."
"That is true if you are the one doing it." Jin Rou smirked, "I have my methods and I can make sure that it will be a success."
"You're quite confident." The old man observed the young man for the second time around. He felt that he couldn't gauge the entire strength of this person in front of him.
"Of course. I won't do anything if I'm not confident about it. I'm not up for embarrassing myself." Jin Rou laughed, "So will you give the green stone or not?"
"What can you give me in exchange of this green stone? I wanna hear it first before I decide." The old man wouldn't let go of the stone easily. He painstakingly nurtured this for millions of years, how could he give up on it?
"Of course, you will not be disappointed of what I can offer." Jin Rou smirked, "For example, I can erase that curse inside you without too much effort."
"How did you know that?" The old man was surprised. The curse had been with him throughout his life and he couldn't erased it no matter what. It had the capability of deteriorating his strength and eating his lifespan slowly.
"Nothing can hide from my eyes." Jin Rou spoke casually, "Not just that, I can even help you uncovering that secret you want to know."
"Gracious, this is unbelievable." The old man sucked a mouthful of cold air, losing his natural composure. He hadn't expected Jin Rou to see all through his problems! How was that possible?
"So decide immediately, my time is very limited." Jin Rou said.
The old man knew that Jin Rou wasn't lying. He was truly capable of making the impossible in his mind possible. He took a deep breath and asked, "You have my utmost admiration, Young Friend. Alright, I will give this stone to you in exchange of lifting my curse and the discovery of a certain secret."
"You have my word for it." Jin Rou smiled. Fortunately, the old man was an intelligent one, knowing what should do and what should not.
However, Jin Rou knew that the old man wasn't afraid of him. And the former was very aware that it would take him a considerable amount of effort to take down the latter. After all, the old man was a perfect immortal!
