The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 115 Don't Let Anyone Else Know
Ren Woxing dragged the chain as close to the prison door as possible. Even though he could not see anything in the pitch-black dungeon, he still pulled his head to look outside.

"Found it, found it. I'll light the oil lamp right away."

Mu Sheng said this as he knocked on the cell door, unlocked the door with force, pushed the door open and walked in, then lit the oil lamp in the cell with ease.

Under the dim light, an old man with his limbs tied with iron chains and disheveled hair appeared in front of Mu Sheng.

"Okay, nephew, take a closer look and see if I am Ren Woxing." Ren Woxing pushed aside the hair that was scattered in front of him so that Mu Sheng could see his appearance clearly.

Mu Sheng looked left and right for a long time, frowned, pinched his chin and said nothing, looking hesitant:

"It's a bit similar, but not very similar. How about forget it and I go back and ask for clarification before trying again?"

"No, you can't leave. I am Ren Woxing. Tell me clearly what's different, what's different!" Ren Woxing shouted excitedly. He didn't want to experience the feeling just now again.

"Yingying said that his father, Ren Woxing, was a strong and majestic man. You are far from that."

After hearing Mu Sheng's words, Ren Woxing stood there in a daze, his thoughts going back to the day of the Heimu Cliff rebellion, when Yingying was still a little girl. Now he has been imprisoned in the West Lake dungeon for twelve years.

Twelve years have passed, and he couldn't imagine what Yingying looks like now.

During these twelve years, if he had not focused all his attention on improving the Star-Absorbing Art, if he had not been supported by his hatred for Dongfang Bubai, if he had not been looking forward to the day when he could escape.

He had already collapsed, and now seeing hope right before his eyes, but shattered again and again, Ren Woxing immediately started to yell:

"It's been twelve years, twelve whole years. Dongfang Bubai has locked me up in this dark dungeon for twelve whole years. You bastard, I swear to kill you."

Looking at Ren Woxing's expression, he knew that the time was almost right, and suddenly said, "Actually, there is another way to prove that you are Ren Woxing."

Ren Woxing continued shouting for a while before he stopped and looked at Mu Sheng with burning eyes.

"I heard that the Three Corpses Brain Pill of the Sun Moon Divine Sect has always been mastered by the Sect Leader. If you are really Ren Woxing, you should know the formula of the Three Corpses Brain Pill. If you can tell me the formula, it proves that you are Ren Woxing."

Ren Woxing's eyes flickered a few times before he spoke: "You also said that as long as the previous leaders knew the formula, even if I told you, how would you judge whether it was true or false?"

"Don't worry, old sir. I'm quite knowledgeable about medicine and poison. I can tell whether it's true or false." Mu Sheng said affirmatively.

Ren Woxing fell silent again after hearing this, and after a long while he uttered a series of prescriptions.

Mu Sheng wrote down the recipe and analyzed it using his medical skills, but he didn't find any major problems.

Even if Ren Woxing made some minor changes to the formula, Mu Sheng would be able to deduce the correct formula through experiments.

"Hahaha, yes, the formula is real. Old sir, you really are Ren Woxing, my father-in-law. Quick, let me help you unlock the shackles."

Mu Sheng walked forward with a smile, helped Ren Woxing to sit down, took out a piece of wire, pretended to fiddle with the shackles for a few times, and used force to uncuff the shackles on Ren Woxing's right hand.

Then he used the same method to unlock the other three shackles, helped Ren Woxing to stand up, and scanned the surroundings with his mental power, memorizing the Star-Absorbing Technique engraved on the floor.

"Let's go, father-in-law, we can get out by following this tunnel." After saying this, Mu Sheng took down the oil lamp on the wall and walked out first.

The tunnel was very narrow and could only accommodate one person at a time. If Mu Sheng walked in front, he would be completely exposed to Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing walked in the tunnel with excitement, looking at the dim lights in front of him and Mu Sheng's back. His eyes flickered. He slowly raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down.

At this time, Mu Sheng, who was leading the way in front, couldn't help but curl his lips. He could sense every move of Ren Woxing. He deliberately raised Ren Woxing's hope and then destroyed it again and again. Even Ren Woxing couldn't avoid being tricked, and Mu Sheng's spiritual power guided him.

At the beginning, Old Deng was indeed provoked by him, and it was true that he was on the verge of collapse, but when he asked for the formula of the Three Corpses Brain Pill in advance, Old Deng came to his senses.

He is worthy of being the leader of a sect, and worthy of being the one who has not collapsed after being locked up in this dark dungeon for more than ten years. In the original novel, Linghu Chong was terrified on the first day he was locked up here.

For these people, when it comes to their own important interests, Mu Sheng's hypnosis immediately becomes ineffective, and even has some counter-effects.

However, his main purpose was to get the Three Corpses Brain Pill, and by the way, he wanted to test the effect of hypnosis on this type of masters.

As for waiting for Ren Woxing to go out and fulfill his promise to Ren Yingying, and then give him the formula of the Three Corpses Brain Pill, for a tyrant like Ren Woxing, the possibility is not high.

The Three Corpses Brain Pill is Ren Woxing's trump card to regain the Sun Moon Sect. Otherwise, how could a former leader who had been missing for more than ten years and had only a few people under his command seize power from the current leader who was in the limelight?
Such an important thing can only be obtained under such circumstances.

As for the Black Wood Cliff, Mu Sheng estimated that there was no recipe for the Three Corpses Brain Pill, otherwise even if Dongfang Bubai disdained to use it, Yang Lianting would not give up such a useful thing.

Soon the two arrived at the exit of the tunnel. Mu Sheng jumped out of the tunnel, followed by Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing, who had not seen the sun for many years, couldn't wait to run out of the house, stood in the sun, closed his eyes, opened his arms, greedily enjoying the sunshine.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After regaining his freedom, Ren Woxing couldn't help but laugh out loud towards the sky, and his eyes, which had not been exposed to the sunlight for many years, couldn't help but shed tears.

"Invincible East, I will take back everything I lost with my own hands"

After Ren Woxing had vented for a while, Mu Sheng stepped forward and held Ren Woxing's arm:
"Father-in-law, you just came out of the dungeon, it's not appropriate for you to be seen in the light. Come, I'll take you to find Xiang Wentian, and then we can go back to Luoyang. Yingying will be very happy to see you."

"Oh, Brother Xiang is here too?" Ren Woxing did not refuse. He closed his eyes and followed Mu Sheng.

"Yes, we came to Meizhuang together, and he is waiting for us in front."

"Then why didn't you ask Brother Xiang to come to the dungeon to rescue me? Is this bastard just after the Three Corpses Brain Pill? Or does he have some other plan? Could Yingying have been deceived by him?"

Ren Woxing's breathing quickened a bit, and he said with some sadness: "I haven't seen Yingying for many years, and I don't know what she looks like now. Nephew, how did you and Yingying know each other?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, you will be able to see Yingying soon. As for me and Yingying, yes," Mu Sheng did not hide anything and told the details of the transaction between himself and Ren Yingying.

"Father-in-law, you should understand me for doing this, right?" Mu Sheng asked shamelessly.

"Hahaha, I understand. Of course I understand. If I hadn't trusted Dongfang Bubai back then, I wouldn't have been trapped in this West Lake dungeon for more than a decade."

"My dear nephew, you are so clear-headed at such a young age. I am relieved to leave Yingying to you. Hahahaha"

Ren Woxing was not at all angry about his daughter being threatened. Instead, he approved of Mu Sheng's behavior.

"Yes, I knew that my father-in-law could understand. Then my father-in-law can also understand what happened in the dungeon just now, right?" Mu Sheng blinked and looked down at Ren Woxing.

"Of course I understand. However, the Three Corpses Brain Pill is extremely important. My dear nephew, you must not let anyone else know about it." Ren Woxing was not angry. Instead, he warned Mu Sheng.
