Ren Yisheng and Luo Zhong
Inside the sealed room of Luo Hui's laboratory, two pairs of eyes stared intently at each other.
Ren Yisheng appeared obese, stared at Luo Zhong's face, while Luo Zhong looked at the familiar face before him.
"Find two people for me, and I can tell you about Ren Aiguo!"
Luo Zhong opened and closed his mouth, and a faint sound came from the jar.
"Luo Tianming switched a Heavenly General potion, which led to my father's death, right?" Ren Yisheng stared at the head and said, "Since you know about my father's affairs, you must be involved!"
Luo Zhong guessed Ren Yisheng's identity, and Ren Yisheng confirmed the answer he was unsure of based on Luo Zhong's words.
He looked at Luo Zhong's expressionless face, his eyes filled with wariness.
At this point, killing Luo Zhong wouldn't be too difficult, even though Luo Zhong possessed terrifying mental power, his body was already damaged.
If Ren Yisheng breaks the jar, Luo Zhong has a chance of dying due to lack of living conditions.
The other party cannot leave this place and can only survive in Luo Hui's laboratory.
Who are you looking for?
Ren Yisheng recounted Luo Zhong's answer before asking any questions.
"If you already know the answer and still ask me, then you must want something from me," Luo Chongdao said. "Ren Aiguo was originally in charge of palace guards and protecting scholars who were researching Mental Strengthening. If you didn't come here for longevity, then all that's left is the Mental Strengthening content hidden in my head."
Ren Yisheng deduced the information from a single sentence, and Luo Zhong similarly obtained the answer from Ren Yisheng's question.
"Since you have a request and I have a need, then we can form a partnership," Luo Zhongdao said. "You shouldn't be afraid of me, who is missing limbs!"
"You have no choice," Ren Yisheng said.
"That's right," Luo Zhong said, his eyes slightly lowered. "I had no choice being locked up here, but you probably didn't either. If the times had made me obsolete, you wouldn't have tried to manipulate me with your words, and Luo Tianming and Luo Hui wouldn't be supporting me. In reality, we had no choice!"
Ren Yisheng frowned.
As a psychology professor, Ren Yisheng was fully focused and energetic when facing Luo Zhong, and he was much more cautious and careful when facing Luo Zhong than when facing Huang.
However, Ren Yisheng had to admit that even under such adverse conditions, Luo Zhong remained remarkably calm and showed no signs of panic during the negotiations.
This is the most troublesome situation, because even if they cooperate, Ren Yisheng will find it difficult to judge whether the exchange given by the other party is genuine, and he may even fall into Luo Zhong's control because of his own needs.
"There's a hint of blood hidden in your eyes. You must have found the path I followed back then, and then pushed it forward step by step," Luo Chongdao said. "But you've probably reached your limit. You want to find a way out!"
"I checked Luo Tianming's experimental records. The records show that you received sixteen injections of the Heavenly God General's Potion. It seems that you most likely overcame the difficulties with the help of the Potion," Ren Yisheng said.
"Since you mentioned a high probability, then you can't be 100% certain, and you lack the confidence to inject sixteen doses of the Heavenly God General's potion," Luo Chong said.
Are you so sure I lack confidence?
Ren Yisheng's demeanor was genuine; if he had any wounds and Zhang Xuezhou used the Supreme Purity True Technique to relieve the pain, he could indeed withstand the injection of the Heavenly General's medicine.
Another interesting aspect is the wonder brought about by the Realm Technique: once Ren Yisheng escapes the Yang Soul, he will not feel any physical pain.
This was an experience he gained from having his body frozen for a year, and Ren Yisheng was very certain of this.
He certainly had the confidence to inject an excessive amount of the Heavenly General's potion.
Thinking about his ability to separate his yang soul from his body, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but reach out and touch the Soul Jade.
As the sparse stone chips fell, Ren Yisheng realized that, without him noticing, the Soul Jade hanging on his chest had faded in color, and some stone dust had fallen as well.
"Oops!"
The soul jade that housed it was destroyed without anyone noticing.
Looking at his own obese body, and thinking about the injection Professor Luo Hui had given him, Ren Yisheng couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred, wanting to grab the unconscious Professor Luo Hui and slap him sixteen more times.
The soul jade of the Tuer tribe may indeed have protective abilities; perhaps it was the soul jade that just now exerted its protective effect.
He was unharmed, but his Soul Jade was damaged.
This conjecture left Ren Yisheng feeling utterly devastated, unable to ascertain his state after leaving the physical body once again.
He felt that the slightest guess he had just received from Luo Zhong had completely shattered his confidence in trying to make a move.
Of course, even if one cannot feel the pain in their body, Ren Yisheng would not dare to try it easily. Only when one is in despair like Luo Zhong would one have the courage to try multiple injections.
"The Soul Jade of the Tuer Tribe?"
Ren Yisheng and Luo Zhong both paid attention to each other's condition during their negotiations, and seeing Ren Yisheng's appearance like this, Luo Zhong truly found it difficult to understand.
The Luofu Empire once enjoyed a period of great power and received tributes from all corners of the world, including the most precious Soul Jade from the Tuer tribe.
But to others, the Soul Jade was just an ugly piece of jade. If it weren't for the trepidation of the person who offered it, the emperor at the time would have almost thought he had been humiliated.
The Tuer tribe was ultimately deemed a worthless, uncivilized tribe, and the Soul Jade was identified as a local specialty from a remote corner.
Luo Zhong had looked at the information, but he had only glanced at it and had a very faint impression of it.
If it weren't for the runes engraved on the Soul Jade, he would hardly have been able to recognize it.
"If you require Soul Jade, there's a piece of Soul Jade presented by the Tuer tribe under the stone lions at the entrance to the Gate of All Nations," Luo Zhongdao said. "This kind of stone shouldn't have been pried off by anyone."
"You're two years too late in saying that," Ren Yisheng said.
"What? Is it so poor out there that they're practically breaking rocks off the streets?"
"The area around the Gate of Nations has been transformed into a mansion for the elderly," Ren Yisheng said. "I was imprisoned there for more than half a year before, so I know the layout very well. Even the white marble lions that greeted the entrance have been removed!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Despite his dissatisfaction, Luo Zhong had demonstrated his sincerity through this conversation.
He could even sense that Ren Yisheng's wariness had lowered slightly.
This will greatly help Luo rebuild cooperation.
Ren Yisheng is right; his range of partners is indeed very narrow.
Few people could enter Luo Hui's research lab, and even fewer could enter his secluded indoor rooms.
It would be virtually impossible to avoid Professor Luo Hui and Luo Tianming.
He has only encountered a few unexpected situations in the past few years.
Seeing Professor Luo Hui, who was unconscious and had blood seeping from his eyes and nostrils, Luo Zhong couldn't help but quickly seek a way to cooperate normally with him.
If Ren Yisheng doesn't kill Professor Luo Hui and seize control of the laboratory by becoming the mountain king, Ren Yisheng time here won't be long.
