There are four levels of guards in the Imperial Palace, and there are many types of them, including personal guards, secret guards, patrol guards, etc.

Second level guard.

It is already the highest-status recruit. There are first-level guards above the second-level guards. The first-level guards are promoted based on their talent and strength.

After all, these guards are not just guards. Once they enter the imperial palace, they become members of the imperial palace. These people are also the reserve talents of the imperial palace, and their loyalty has been guaranteed.

They can be used by the imperial palace for life, and some with outstanding talents will even be selected to be secretly trained to become the sharp sword of the imperial palace.

Once they receive attention, their family will also benefit from it, rise up, and receive the blessing of the imperial palace.

Xiao Zining wondered in his mind, what kind of authority did this second-level guard have?

He had seen before that there was someone with the same strength as him, but he only got a third-level guard, and he directly got a second-level guard.

He didn't want to be so outstanding, but Xiao Zining didn't know how the chief examiner judged the criteria.

The matter has come to this, the deal is done, and there is no turning back. He can't just tell people to lower him to the third level of guard, can he?

Then he would probably be directly suspected.

Besides, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

An hour later, their identities were all checked, and only two were kicked out for unknown reasons.

They are already half of the imperial palace.

Next, is the last step and the most critical step.

Seed Gu!

Forty-eight people, including Xiao Zining, were taken to a palace.

In the palace, a strange fragrance lingers in the air, making people feel energetic after smelling it.

The decoration of this palace is also different from other palaces, with purple curtains and strange talismans engraved throughout the room.

There is also a shelf, all of which are filled with white ceramic bottles. I don’t know what is inside.

Xiao Zining didn't look around. Those things were already engraved in his mind when he saw them for the first time.

There are dozens of auras that are stronger than Xiao Zining within a radius of one mile. Even if Xiao Zining has the law of space, he does not dare to release his spiritual consciousness easily.

This palace is obviously very, very close to the center of the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Zining's eyes fell on the figure behind the heavy purple veil.

That figure was sitting cross-legged, wearing a black robe, and the black mask almost blended into his (her) black robe.

Just by looking at it, you can't tell whether it's a boy or a girl.

No part of his (her) body was exposed, and there was a giant python wrapped around his (her) hand.

The giant python's body was silvery white with streaks, and its inverted triangular head was placed on the Gu Master's thigh.

Xiao Zining could clearly feel through the veil that the giant python's red eyes were staring at them.

What was strange to Xiao Zining was that he couldn't feel the Gu Master's aura at all, not even a trace.

I could only faintly feel the domineering aura of the giant python. The giant python was not simple at all, it was a king-level monster.

If the guess is correct, the person behind the veil must be the Gu Master who gave them the heart-eating Gu.

Xiao Zining withdrew his gaze, silently thinking about everything he had just seen.

He did not dare to underestimate this Gu Master. Looking at this palace, one could see how much the Imperial Palace valued the Gu Master, not to mention the several auras around the Gu Master that were so strong that it made Xiao Zining's heart palpitate.

Even if it is the Gu Master himself, Xiao Zining must be on guard with all his heart, saying that he should not offend anyone but Miao Jiang Gu Master, otherwise he may not know when he will become insect fodder.

The chief assessor raised his hand toward the veil.

The Gu Master inside the veil gently raised his hand, and the giant python crawled down his (her) hand and crawled out of the veil.

It flicked its tail skillfully, and a Qiankun bag fell into the hands of the examiner on the side.

Then he twisted his thick but flexible body and got into the veil again.

Xiao Zining's wish to take a look at the Gu Master came to nothing.

I saw the chief examiner taking out a small porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag.

The chief assessor had no expression on his face and stared at them.
