Judge in the Southern Prison Imperial Guard

Confucius said, "Having heard the Dao in the morning, one may die content in the evening."

Zhu Youji entered an extremely mysterious state, and the three divine arts in his body began to operate automatically. Through the extraordinary meridians, they circulated through the Great Celestial Circulation, gradually thickening and strengthening. The content of internal energy was also increasing.

Zhu Youji's body became more solid and refined, faintly emanating a light golden glow. This was the transformation of Vajra Body Defending Divine Skill from Entry to Small Achievement...

In just an hour, he had cultivated a peerless martial art from Mastery to Small Achievement? This was simply cheating!

After half an hour passed, Zhu Youji gradually awakened from the peculiar state of enlightenment.

[Martial Art Level Up, Martial Art: Fifth Grade Upper to Sixth Grade Lower]

Zhu Youji's martial arts realm rose to another level. From the initial Fourth Grade to the current Sixth Grade, it took less than an hour. If this news spread, the entire martial world would likely be astonished. This was no longer something that could be described as a martial arts prodigy- it was simply supernatural!

Zhu Youji's internal energy was extremely profound, his physique robust, and his inner breath stable. Unlike traditional methods that relied on medicinal enhancement, after experiencing the life of a sixteen-year-old genius, Zhu Youji's foundation was extremely solid. The cultivation path and methods from the First Grade to the Ninth Grade were clear to him.

The previously unstable foundation caused by medicinal consumption gradually stabilized and solidified under the influence of memory transfer and enlightenment.

In fact, if it weren't for laying the groundwork, relying on the power he gained from recent enlightenment alone, he could have easily broken through to the Sixth Grade Upper level. However, doing so would make his foundation unstable once again.

Excess is no better than deficiency- it's not worth the risk!

This sixteen-year-old youth was indeed a genius!

In his memories, he had already reached the threshold of a Grandmaster. However, due to the diverse nature of his internal energy and rapid advancement, his foundation wasn't stable. Despite absorbing so much internal energy, he hadn't become a Grandmaster. In the end, he died at the hands of a Grandmaster at Tai Lake.

Without reaching Grandmaster, one was nothing but an ant!

In Zhu Youji's memories, he now understood the importance of a solid foundation. He decided to lay a solid foundation for the future realm of a Grandmaster.

"The first life of cultivation is over. The next simulated life cultivation will commence in five days..."

"The host can reselect martial arts or legacy talents, or retain the original talents. The number of retained talents (1/1)."

"Modifying the plot can earn plot points. Plot points can be used to draw rewards or modify martial arts and talents in the simulated life cultivation..."

"Please continue to work hard, host..."

Once again, Zhu Youji received a prompt from the "Life Restart Simulator" system.

However, Zhu Youji wasn’t happy; instead, his mouth twitched slightly. He completely understood that the system had played a trick on him. All along, the system had been subtly suggesting to him that there was only one chance to choose well, or there would be no other opportunities.

Zhu Youji always thought that this was a unique choice system. So, he honestly started over, choosing three good martial arts or talents that could be used.

And the result? Damn it, this system unexpectedly had the function of simulating life and could deepen cultivation through deduction? In that instant, Zhu Youji felt that his ten thousand draws were foolish.

Zhu Youji felt like he had fooled himself. He shook his head, dispelling these strange thoughts from his mind. Then he began to contemplate the functional characteristics of his system.

After this enlightenment and memory infusion, he gradually understood the advantages and characteristics of the "Life Restart Simulator" system. Firstly, the basic function was the prompt panel, allowing Zhu Youji to see others' identity panels and his own martial arts data.

Next was the ability to restart and select the starting martial arts and talents. Zhu Youji chose three divine arts. Following that was the simulation of deducing life cultivation. Countless images and moments in this deduction were the most genuine memories.

Zhu Youji could obtain corresponding experience, combat experience, cultivation experience, and martial arts experience by settling rewards. The recent enlightenment was the best proof!

In the simulated life, Zhu Youji could throw the martial arts he needed to deduce into it, allowing the simulated version of himself to cultivate for a lifetime in advance. Then he could directly reap the complete cultivation experience and insights.

This was much easier than cultivating stupidly on his own! No one could avoid making mistakes, and only by making mistakes could one grow. However, Zhu Youji with the system could avoid making mistakes because someone had already tried them all.

Regarding the plot points, Zhu Youji had experimented with them before. For example, he got rid of a little eunuch who would affect his future plot, and the system rewarded him with 500 plot points.

Therefore, according to Zhu Youji's speculation, the more significant the plot modification, the more rewards he would receive.

"So, I need to carefully plan the chase of the palace maids and the Imperial Guard. Zhu Youji's eyes flickered, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself.

After a brief contemplation, Zhu Youji stood up, put on his cloak, and walked out of the mansion with large strides. He was going somewhere for some benefits!

And, of course, to earn some plot points!

That place was the Imperial Guard Judge in the Southern Prison.

At this moment, inside the Imperial Guard Judge in the Southern Prison, in a secluded courtyard.

"Mr. Shen, what should we do? How could Lv Jing kidnap the woman of His Majesty and elope together? This is a capital offense!"

A man with a square face, dressed in a flying fish robe with light red striped cuffs, paced anxiously and nervously, speaking frantically.

Another middle-aged man, with an unchanged expression and a sullen face, also wore a flying fish robe, but his cuffs were in dark red stripes.

Listening to the man's incessant words, the middle-aged man became a bit impatient and scolded, "Enough, shut up!"

"What's the use of being anxious? Weren’t you quite at ease when splitting the money? Now that something has happened, you're panicking?"

Hearing this, the man explained, "Mr. Shen, it's not like that. Everyone in the entire Imperial Guard is greedy. Who doesn't take a share of the money? Mr. Shen, you're the Chief Commander! Your position is the highest, you must figure out a solution!"

The person referred to as Mr. Shen in this conversation was none other than Shen Fei, the Chief Commander of the Imperial Guard. The man with the square face was not a stranger either; his official position was not low either. He was another Pacifier Commander of the Judge in the Southern Prison, Cao Shuang.

Shen Fei was their immediate superior, and many lucrative "business opportunities" came from Shen Fei's hands. Making a fortune in the Imperial Guard often involved taking lives, especially at their level. It was a journey of bribery and greed- all transactions required money.

"Cao Shuang, are you threatening me?" Shen Fei's expression changed. He slammed the table and sternly questioned.

Cao Shuang's expression also changed slightly, and he bowed, "I dare not! I just want to remind the lord. Lv Jing must die; he knows too much about us."

"You want him dead? That's easy for you to say." Shen Fei's expression was unfriendly, and he said coldly, "The Emperor assigned Judge in the Northern Prison to handle this matter. We can't intervene at all."

"We've been too close to Lv Jing in our daily activities. If we take action, once discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"In matters related to the Imperial Guard, not only the Emperor but also the courtiers are paying close attention. We absolutely cannot get involved; we must avoid suspicion."

"Avoid suspicion?" Cao Shuang's expression changed slightly, "Then what should we do? If Lv Jing insists on implicating us before he dies, we won't be able to escape."

Shen Fei's expression also became somewhat unpleasant. He knew it very well. However, they found it inconvenient to act in this matter. If they were to take action, they could only turn to people from the martial world.

Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Both of them were on the alert. Shen Fei had unconsciously drawn his Embroidery Spring Sword.

Cao Shuang's eyes also flashed a hint of killing intent, and his hand was already on the hilt of the Embroidery Spring Sword. If the content of their conversation was exposed, both of them would be dead!

Did the person outside the door hear their conversation? No one dared to guarantee that!

"Who's there?"

A voice sounded from outside, "Mr. Shen, there is a nobleman from the palace looking for you."
