is different from Lu Yuan's fanaticism, Ding Yi's own catties and taels are still clear to him. Young and frivolous, this is the age of weaving dreams, and the fantasy works of the city of dreams give the young man a dream-like vision. The desire to become a hero has always been a teenager's dream.

If it weren't for the books that Zhang De sent to Ding Yi, if there was no truth to mix, maybe Ding Yi's dream would continue like this. However, with these helpless experiences in his life, Ding Yi has become much more rational.

Ding Yi is neither a so-called ideological enlightener, nor does he want to be the initiator of any reform movement, he just wants to work hard to improve his cultivation level, do everything possible to get rid of the shackles of the Truth Society, and do everything possible to make Ding Zhaoding, Wu Shuhui, Ding Li, and Ding Yun ...... They don't want to fall into the situation that might arise in Zhang Defa's book.

Ding Yi knew very well how he became a cultivator, and if he didn't have the 'help' of Zong Xiao and Wang Jiansheng, he couldn't have known too well what kind of character he was.

He knew very well that he was fundamentally different from Luyuan. Lu Yuan is looking to the future as a puppeteer, but he is not. Puppetry, which is only a means to establish one's own life.

The cruelty of the cultivation realm is more realistic than the mortal life of the general public, and Ding Yi's imagination of the future is more of an escape, he is much more sober than Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan took Ding Yi to visit the two-story building on the ground, where Ding Yi saw many strange puppets and saw several puppet dolls, these are all real Xuan-level puppets, both in action and speech, almost exactly like real people. There are also many cultivation materials that I have never been exposed to. In a classic album room of more than three or four hundred square meters, Ding Yi almost refused to move his footsteps. This is only a building on the ground, you must know that the Divine Machine Academy still has three floors below the ground.

The senior brothers of the Iron Forge City were very friendly to Ding Yi, and Ding Yi was warmly welcomed everywhere he went, most of these were spirit-level puppeteers, they showed Ding Yi some of the precious collections of the Divine Machine Academy, and also let Ding Yi personally try some of the latest achievements on their side.

Lu Yuan took Ding Yi around in a big circle, but Ding Yi was still unsatisfied. Two hours later, Lu Yuan took Ding Yi back to the reception room of the Shenji Academy.

Bu Ban saw Ding Yi and Lu Yuan coming in, and asked, "Little Ding Yi, we have already consulted with Vice Principal Yang, do you want to start the assessment now, or take a break before proceeding?"

Ding Yi took a deep breath and said: "Thank you masters for your care for the kid, the evaluation is the main purpose of this trip to Tiangang City, I am ready, otherwise, let's start now." ”

Yang Qi nodded slightly. This time when he came to Tiangang City, Yang Qi did not expect to receive such a high-standard courtesy reception. Ding Yi's performance seems to be quite remarkable, he is neither arrogant nor humble in dealing with people, and his speech and demeanor are also generous.

So everyone moved to the Divine Golem Hall, which was the real venue for the assessment.

The Divine Puppet Hall is much larger than the Divine Machine Academy, it is a large building complex formed by more than a dozen buildings, and there are nearly a thousand puppeteers in and out of it.

Different from other people's tests, the three great masters not only waived all kinds of fees for Ding Yi's test, but also gave Ding Yi the green light and directly led Ding Yi to the top test center for a full range of tests.

Director Hao of the testing center saw all the three elders of the Iron Casting City present for the first time, just to evaluate the qualifications of a teenager. Moreover, Councilor Zeng and Lu Yuan were both personally accompanied, what was the origin of this young man? The person in charge of the testing center couldn't help but be very curious.

He bred up and went on the field to preside over the test himself.

The first level of the test is the identification of raw materials, and Phantom Technology no longer needs to carry the physical objects for the evaluator to identify them one by one, and can just put the slides. What is tested here is the evaluator's perception of raw materials and materials. This is one of the most basic disciplines of puppetry.

There are many strange minerals, strange flowers and plants, and strange creatures in this world. There are hundreds of millions of species, and no one can recognize them all. This is not a naturalist examination! But as a puppeteer, you must have a considerable degree of understanding and mastery of naturalism. Feather-level puppeteers are required to master a thousand knowledge points, and spirit-level puppeteers must have five thousand.

Ding Yi has a talent for raw material identification, he has a very strong curiosity, and his knowledge is his strength.

It is impossible to display 5,000 kinds of pictures in the darkroom, but according to the degree of difficulty, they are divided into ten groups, each group of ten frames, and randomly selected for assessment.

This was no challenge for Ding Yi, and he quickly recognized it with 100% accuracy.

"Continue to deliver, the difficulty rises by one order. Lu Yuan instructed Director Hao of the test.

Ding Yi had never experienced an assessment, he didn't know that his assessment had been upgraded, and he was still answering in the dark room.

Ten more sets of pictures were projected, but Ding Yi was still not stumped. The difficulty is gradually increasing, and it has gradually reached 500,000

Frame, Ding Yi has gradually sweated on his forehead, and many rare species are gradually increasing, making it more and more difficult to identify. Ding Yi began to misjudge, and there were some species that Ding Yi had never heard of, so he skipped it directly......

Ding Yi's face turned pale, and his mood was very uncomfortable, naturalism is the most basic discipline of puppetry, and it is also the discipline he is best at. didn't expect that he would capsize in the field he was best at, and Ding Yi couldn't forgive himself. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, his lips were clenched, and his heart was like a knife.

Ding Yi didn't even dare to look up at Yang Qi, he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, it was too embarrassing. Ding Yi thought to himself.

"Congratulations, Ding Yi, your naturalist has reached level seven, which is a great achievement. Director Hao praised from the bottom of his heart.

What? I didn't recognize so many frames of pictures, and I passed the test? Ding Yi was a little puzzled, and he raised his head. He saw that everyone was looking at him and smiling, and he didn't turn a corner for a moment.

Director Hao said with a smile: "The threshold of a spirit-level puppeteer is level three, and you are now level seven, which is a great achievement." ”

Lu Yuan also praised: "Senior Brother Ding, I am only a little stronger than you at the eighth level, and I am worthy of being a character that I admire in Luyuan, amazing!"

Zeng Yi smiled: "Look at the little guy, you still think that you haven't passed the test, and you cry your nose." Haha......"

Only then did Ding Yi understand that the difficulty of the original assessment had been increased, no wonder he couldn't recognize many things, you must know that with his own knowledge, if it weren't for Tie Zhongtang, they opened a lot of secret books to him. I'm afraid there will be more things that I can't recognize. And Lu Yuan himself is a Xuan-level cultivator, with far greater authority than Ding Yi, and he has much more access to books and classics, not to mention that Lu Yuan is more than twice his age.

Ding Yi burst into tears and laughed, I see, I was worried about it in vain.

The three masters also smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

The next level is to evaluate Ding Yi's mastery of the formation, this level not only has several levels of identifying formations, arranging formations, changing formations, and breaking formations. It also takes a little more time than the previous level.

Director Hao directly skipped those basic formations this time and started the evaluation with the five-element formation. Formation is the subject that Ding Yi spent the most time studying. This complex discipline of cultivation took Ding Yi the most energy, although he has always had a lot of questions about this subject that he has not fully understood, but after all, it is a subject that has taken a lot of effort to learn. In the end, his results came out, and the formation spirit level was high-level. This is already a very good result for a cultivator of his age.

However, Ding Yi did not feel any joy.

The next level of assessment is the organ technique, and the exam of this level is relatively easy for Ding Yi. Make a timer out of existing materials, and all kinds of parts are ready-made, and you only need to assemble them in a unit of time.

This is the content of the spirit level beginner formation exam, this level Ding Yi was completed overnight, in one go, there were almost no superfluous movements, from thousands of deliberately misleading components, the components of the timer were quickly found, and the assessment was completed in less than ten minutes. In fact, this level mainly assesses the cultivator's eyesight and familiarity with the machine, you must know that often many components are almost the same, and the error of about one and a half millimeters often makes the candidate misjudge, and the result is that the time of the assessment is extended......

The next thing is to make a calculator, this complex pure manual machine, it took a lot of effort, this can calculate to a billion positions of sensitive machinery, there are hundreds of single gears, more than a dozen kinds of array discs, and other various components are as many as thousands.

In fact, this work is not useful, its operation is complicated, and it can only perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, and even the calculation speed of this thing cannot catch up with the abacus. However, it is a precision machine that tests the brainpower of the producer.

Fortunately, the assessment of mechanism technology does not assess the manufacture of precision parts, the parts are ready-made, but in thousands of large and small, miscellaneous components, select the appropriate components, the test is the candidate's spatial architecture ability and understanding of precision machinery. At the very least, you must know this thing, be familiar with this thing, and understand its principle and structure, which is actually beyond the assessment of the initial level of ordinary spirit-level organ techniques.

Seeing that Ding Yi had restored the calculator, Lu Yuan showed a meaningful smile. is worthy of being a little puppeteer that he admires. How long did it take me to restore this thing in the first place? A day and a half! At that time, I should have been a few years older than Ding Yi, this is really a brain-burning work.

Tian Xingkong was even more satisfied with Ding Yi's performance, among the younger generation of cultivators, Ding Yi was undoubtedly the fastest he had seen to restore this calculator.

Ding Yi can assemble it so skillfully, in fact, the main reason is that Ding Yi once spent a lot of effort to memorize the formation, and those multiple formations are also brain-burning.

to help him memorize and calculate the formation. Although this so-called supercomputer was not developed in the end, he was no longer familiar with the calculator.

The next thing to assemble is the Spirit Tower. The spiritual tower is also known as the psychic tower, this is not a simple surface building, which involves architecture, mechanism and formation layout and application, which is actually already a mid-level assessment.

Ding Yi failed in the assessment of making a model of the spiritual pagoda. He had only built four layers, and the formation construction of more than thirteen yuan above the fifth layer had far exceeded his ability......

Tianxingkong stopped Ding Yi from continuing to painstakingly calculate, design, and deduce over there.

"Very good, kid. With your current ability to do this, it is already rare, and there is no one in ten thousand. There's no shame in not being able to do it, after the unanimous judgment of the three of our old guys, your trick has reached the high level of the spirit level. ”

Director Hao knew that this judgment was a bit too harsh, and it stands to reason that when the organ technique reaches the level of Ding Yi, it is appropriate to give the judgment of the primary level of the Xuan level. It seems that the three masters' perception of Ding Yi is not ordinarily good, this is to have high standards and strict requirements, and Ding Yi is being cultivated as a puppet grandmaster.

Yang Qi finally saw the complexity of the puppeteer's assessment, and this young man who brought praise to the Xuanzang Academy made him awe-inspired.

There will be reviews of alchemy and puppet making in the afternoon, but the morning time has passed. Ding Yi was also tired enough. Need to eat something and take a break.

Zeng Yi made thoughtful arrangements at noon, Ding Yi and their lunch meal was very rich, in addition to the special hot pot in Tiangang City, several medicinal dishes were also arranged, and in private, Zeng Yi also asked Luyuan to send Ding Yi a bottle of 'Yuan Qi Water'. This is a high-level elixir, which has a miraculous effect on eliminating fatigue, refreshing the mind, and replenishing physical vitality. It is said to have a very good effect on strengthening the development of the brain domain.

Yang Qi is a vegetarian, and Zeng Yi also put some thought into making some vegetarian food that tastes very good with Yang Qi, and the guests and hosts enjoyed it for a while.

It seems that Lu Yuan is right, this Congressman Zeng Yi Zeng is really a person who is very attentive to people.

After a little rest in the afternoon, the three great masters took Ding Yi and his group to the 'pyramid'.

Here you have to test Ding Yi's alchemy and refining ability. This is Ding Yi's weakest link, and Ding Yi has always been a puppet made of local materials according to local conditions. The biggest feature of the puppet he made is that it is practical, although he has also studied forging with Gu Yue for a period of time, his fire spirit qualifications are very poor, and alchemy and alchemy have quite strict requirements for fire control, which is a shortcoming of Ding Yi.

From afar, I saw the cupola blazing with flames, which is the landmark of Tiangang City, and the pyramid is near the cupnacle. Ding Yi has no intention of admiring this magnificent building, and for him, completing the assessment is the most important thing.

The pyramid of Haibing Wei is composed of forty-five chambers with a total of nine floors. There are seven floors above ground and two floors underground. The place where they want to be assessed is at the bottom of this bottom.

There are nine rooms on the lowest floor, each room has a unique ground furnace, formation and layer of mechanism arrangement, and the refiner can adjust the temperature of the furnace through the array disk, which is a good place for refining.

Hai Bingwei personally presided over the evaluation of Ding Yi, and the content of the exam was only one thing, which was to refine a prop used by a cultivator. The materials are optional, of course, the more difficult it is to refine, the better.

The place where the assessment was placed here was because they all knew that Ding Yi was not a fire spirit qualification, and to refine objects, they had to use the earth fire furnace here.

In fact, a large number of puppeteers are not fire spirit qualifications, and they cannot form spiritual fire forcination. There's nothing to be ashamed of here. There are several top-level weapon builders in Tiangang City, and they are not fire spirit qualifications, but they are all respected by everyone. Therefore, even if there is no innate talent and ability, the acquired hard work and diligence can still win everyone's respect.

"Judging by the objects you have forged, your achievements in alchemy and alchemy. You don't have to be reluctant, you have done well in the morning, here, even if you don't get a good grade, this will not affect your overall assessment at all, don't worry about doing it boldly. Buban encouraged.

Ding Yi nodded. Walk up to Hai Bingwei and apply for the raw materials you need.

"Sea urchin copper, iron, sphalerite, gray lead, ......" Ding Yi reported a total of 67 kinds of materials. Hai Bingwei was surprised, because Ding Yi was a puppeteer after all, not an alchemist specializing in alchemy. Generally speaking, although the puppeteer also understands alchemy, but the level is much lower, after all, the mechanism formation is the main direction of puppetry, and what is it to use so many materials to forge it?

"What are you trying to refine?" asked Hai Bingwei curiously.

Ding Yi replied: "Titanium steel." ”
