Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 5

Gu Shen deliberately didn't get too close to the prison door, fearing that the black substance would appear.

He looked around the situation, the prison was as dark as ever, and at the end of the passage, there were faint voices of the little flags of the Imperial City Department talking, but they couldn't be heard clearly, so there was some distance.

On the left, in Room B No. [-], there is no prisoner, and on the right, there is an Imperial scholar who does not know martial arts.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Gu Shen took two steps forward, clinging to the railing of Room B and No. [-].

However, no black matter appeared.

Gu Shen guessed where the problem was. Sui Guoliang's body was a little far away from the prison door, which failed to trigger the second condition for the black substance to appear.

Gu Shen looked around, and immediately found the key to Room B and No. [-] from a bunch of keys at his waist.

When he opened the cell door, Gu Shen's skin was tense, but he pretended to check whether Sui Guoliang was alive or dead.

Fortunately, the imperial prison was always noisy and chaotic, and no one noticed it.

In the prison cell, Sui Guoliang was silent, and the reason why he didn't fall over was only because the two large steel chains covered with black and red stains penetrated his lute bones.

As Gu Shen walked into the cell, some black matter floated from Sui Guoliang's body, and gradually scattered on Gu Shen's body.

Gu Shen trembled slightly, the internal energy in the meridians obviously felt strong, and his body was also very comfortable, as if bathing in a divine spring.

Gu Shen didn't dare to delay, he quickly left Room B and No. [-], and when he left, he locked the cell door.

He walked quickly to the unused No. [-] cell, opened two heavy gates one after another, and entered the cell to meditate.

The effect brought by the black substance entering the body is still fermenting, the inner qi surges in the meridians, fine sweat oozes from the forehead and body surface.

Gu Shen exercised his kung fu, and his inner qi began to circulate in a regular manner. At this moment, pain and refreshment coexist in the body.

one day a week.

two weeks.

three weeks.
When Gu Shen also forgot that the inner qi in the meridians circulated for a few days, he felt the diaphragm again.

Only this time, the inner qi did not stay in the slightest, and directly broke through this barrier in one go.

The inner qi continues to circulate, and every time it circulates a big circle, the inner qi will grow stronger.

Half an hour later, Gu Shen opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed in the dark cell.

"Is this the seventh-rank Martial Dao Realm?"

Gu Shen realized a little bit, then adjusted his state, and he walked out of Room A and No. [-] after it was no different from before the breakthrough.

When he arrived outside Sui Guoliang's cell, no one had discovered Sui Guoliang's death, so Gu Shen walked along the dark passage to the Eight Immortals' Table and woke up Xu Yan who was sleeping soundly.

"Brother Xu, Sui Guoliang is dead."

"Oh? Finally dead."

Xu Yan was not panicked when a second-rank official of the imperial court died in the Imperial Prison. Instead, he was in a good mood, as if he was relieved.

Xu Yan picked up the bowl and took a sip of water, then said to Gu Shen: "I'm going to find Captain Ma, Xiao Gu, you should watch here first."

Gu Shen responded, looking at Xu Yan's leaving back, feeling emotional in his heart.

Sui Guoliang was his main focus, and Gu Shen had been keeping abreast of Sui Guoliang's situation.

He guessed that many people now knew that Sui Guoliang was wronged, including Emperor Xuanhe.It's just that maybe because of the emperor's face, maybe the emperor doesn't like Sui Guoliang, or maybe there are other reasons, Sui Guoliang must die.

"Probably waiting for him to die."

The death of Sui Guoliang did not cause any disturbances, as if an ordinary criminal had died.

The prison was the same as usual, and the court did not respond.

Gu Shen would only occasionally think of it when he was lying on the bed in the dead of night, that a second-rank general soldier named Sui Guoliang was arrested without any reliable evidence, tortured and beaten, and finally died in prison.

On this day, Gu Shen told his colleagues about his stepping into the Ninth Rank Martial Dao Realm.

This matter cannot be concealed, because just over a month ago, Gu Shen was still a half-dead sick child, and now he is no different from an ordinary person, the previous injuries must have been healed.

Instead of leaving others to guess, offer a reason.

Captain Ma was very happy, and said with a smile: "Little Gu, you are a blessing in disguise. Originally, with your aptitude, you may not be able to cross the threshold of the ninth-rank martial arts in three to five years, but because Zhang Boqing stayed in your body for a long time. While the wisp of internal energy is causing you harm, it also mobilizes the slight internal energy that you have cultivated over the years, and these tiny internal energy have just passed the threshold of the Ninth Martial Dao Realm."

Gu Shen was also very happy, Captain Ma directly gave him a very reasonable reason to step into the Ninth Rank Martial Dao Realm, saving him a lot of embarrassment.

"It should be like this." Gu Shen scratched his head, with a smile on his face, shy and happy.

This is a normal reaction.

Everyone was also happy for Gu Shen. Zhang Chenggong stood aside with a smile. He is an ordinary person who has practiced martial arts before, but he didn't get angry inside. He can only be regarded as a better ordinary person. While Zhang Chenggong envied the realm of martial arts, he was also happy for Gu Shen that his nephew finally didn't have to die young.

Xu Yan put his arms around Gu Shen's shoulders, and said, "Little Gu, your health is better now, I'll take you to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in two days, the girl in the hook bar is not to mention very juicy, she will spit out water when pinched."

"Out of the water?" Gu Shen was taken aback, and asked curiously: "Brother Xu, I saw the Xiaoxiang Pavilion from a distance when I was in the yamen. It is very grand, and it must be expensive. I have no money. Brother Xu, do you invite me?"

Gu Shen has money in his hands, and the job of ordering a prison guard is very lucrative, but he recently plans to spend money to buy a better book of exercises, which is expensive. After getting rid of this money, he really has no money in his hand up.

"How much money?" Xu Yan shook his head.

No treat. Gu Shen said in a deep voice, "I'm not interested in these things, so I won't go."

Next to it, Li Ga smiled and said, "You can go and see Xiao Gu, you are not in good health yet, just listen to a song, it won't cost you much, but you will have to pay more for it."

You have to pay extra to go upstairs. I have heard of this before. Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Listen to a song."

Just listen to the music on the hook bar, we have no money for real guns and actual combat.

Xu Yan patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said, "Little Gu, I've been a little weak lately, wait for me for two days to recover my energy, and I'll take you there in two days."

After making an appointment with Xu Yan, Gu Shen was actually a little curious, not about Goulan, but about the world.

After traveling for so long, he has always been tense, and has not fully experienced the customs of this world.

Captain Ma left first, and Gu Shen also heaved a sigh of relief.

Captain Ma is a senior captain in Imperial Prison, and he is also the best among all the captains. Most of the captains are at the eighth-rank martial arts realm, and Captain Ma is at the seventh-rank, and he is only one step away from the second-rate masters.

However, Xiaowei Ma has gradually passed his prime, and his vitality has gone downhill. There is no chance, and maybe he will not be able to take this step in his entire life.

The fact that Gu Shen stepped into the Ninth Rank Martial Dao Realm because of a blessing in disguise was just a small episode in the Imperial Prison.

The reason why everyone pays attention is mainly because they are colleagues with Gu Shen and have a good relationship. If it is placed in the outside world, a martial artist of the ninth rank of martial arts is really nothing.

Gu Shen's life has returned to its usual state.

It's just that he gradually realized that something was wrong, and this strangeness came from Lu Qi who was still hanging on his breath.

Lu Qi had already pleaded guilty and was imprisoned, and the Imperial City Secretary also convicted Lu Qi, ransacked his entire family, and executed Lu Qi himself in a hurry.

It's just that the crime has been decided for many days, but the execution has never been executed.

Based on Gu Shen's understanding of the great grandson Zhao Shuang, he should not let Lu Qi live until now.

"Could it be that you forgot Lu Qi?"

Gu Shen shook his head, thinking no, a person who raised a knife to kill him, if he was Zhao Shuang, he would never forget it, unless the person died.

If he couldn't figure it out, Gu Shen stopped thinking about it, he just needed to do his own thing well.

In the next few days, Gu Shen found another opportunity to absorb the black matter produced after the death of five prisoners.

It's just that there is a big threshold from seventh rank to sixth rank, and there is still some distance to break through the sixth rank martial arts realm and become a second-rate master.

This is the first goal that Gu Shen set for himself after time travel!
Gu Shen was not in a hurry, he took his time and played steadily.

During the period, Xu Yan also fulfilled his promise and took Gu Shen to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to listen to the music, but after listening to the music, Gu Shen went home alone, and Xu Yan went upstairs.
