Zeng Yi never expected that the seemingly inconspicuous and somewhat frail young man in front of him would stir up the politics and economy of most of the empire and bring about a series of changes.

Tiangang City has undergone tremendous changes this year. Hundreds of cultivators have poured in, and Iron Cast City has undergone earth-shaking changes, all because of this young man.

Ding Yi created Xintiandi in Jiyun City and sold car puppets on the mainland. The biggest impact was on Tiangang City. This big city, which was originally the industrial and steel manufacturing center of Liuhua Continent, was the first to undergo major changes.

When Ding Yi's car puppet first appeared in Tiangang City, it caused a sensation no less than that of Wings in Jiyun City. This caused various workshops in Tiangang City, large and small, to rush to imitate it, making

This ancient old industrial city has undergone a transformation.

Tiangang City has declined very early. This large city, known as the "Military Capital" in history, has always been mainly engaged in related industries, mainly weapon manufacturing. However, with the rise and power of the empire, the new order

The new system was promulgated and the weapons manufacturing industry gradually declined.

The empire does not need a large army at all, and it also does not need those swords, guns, shields, siege or defense machinery. Powerful cultivators are the best weapons! The soldiers who originally mainly supplied weapons to the armies of many countries on the land

The capital city suddenly lost its market. The entire city's manufacturing industry had to be transformed during this drastic change. The high-quality blood-patterned steel no longer became the swords, guns, armor, and shields in the hands of soldiers, but was made into kitchen knives.

, sickles, iron pots and other daily necessities. A large number of workshops closed down, workers lost their jobs, mine owners went bankrupt, and the entire city was transformed from civilians into refugees, with the number of villagers in the millions...

Tiangang City, once a famous military capital, fell into ruin. Even after more than 400 years, it still cannot return to its former glory.

Ding Yi's car puppet is undoubtedly like a bolt of lightning, bringing a glimmer of light to this lifeless metropolis and a glimmer of vitality to this thousand-year-old capital.

There are many craftsmen and many puppet workshops in this city. With the popularity of Ding Yi Che Puppet, the knowledgeable workshop owners in Tiangang City began to invest great enthusiasm in the imitation and research of Che Puppet.

There are now at least dozens of car puppet workshops operating in Tiangang City. At least five or six thousand people are engaged in the production, research and development of car puppets, as well as the production of related components. There are more than tens of thousands of families, because of the car puppet’s

Benefits appeared. The most gratifying thing is that this changed the inherent single weapon production model of Tiangang City and brought a breath of fresh air to this lifeless city.

Hundreds of cultivators poured in from all over the country to learn puppetry. Many of them also joined Iron Cast City, which allowed Iron Cast City to expand its influence on the surrounding area to a certain extent. At the same time, it also had an impact on Tiangang City.

Strengthening and improving has played a considerable role.

All this is because of this little boy from before.

Zeng Yi was silent for a moment, and then made a move that surprised Vice Principal Yang and Ding Yi. He actually bowed deeply to Ding Yi.

"Please forgive me for my ignorance and arrogance. I thought that Ding Yi of Jiyun City was just a legend, a gimmick made up by your businessmen in the southeast. I didn't expect that this person really existed. I didn't expect that I could see him here.

I retract all my previous disrespectful words. Welcome to Tiangang City, where you will receive the most dedicated service and the most perfect evaluation. And after the evaluation, there will be a banquet to welcome you two. Please remember

I was just unhappy, believe me, this will be a pleasant trip for the two of you." Kyouya, who was arrogant at the time, was too quick.

Seeing the two people who were still a little out of their minds, Zeng Yi explained: "To make you laugh, I am actually a local. All the changes in Tiangang City are under my observation. I grew up in this land and grew up in it."

In this land, my studies and education

, and even entered Tiezhu City and became an elder of Tiezhu City and a councilor of Tiangang Province. I rarely leave here. It can be said that in the past few decades, every bit of changes in Tiangang City have been in my eyes.

"

"I love this land. I care about everyone and everything here. I have always dreamed of restoring this land to its former glory. I have always been eager to restore its former glory. Ding Yi, you are giving this

The city brings dreams and hopes to the young man. In fact, I have been friends for a long time. When the first car puppet came to this city, someone in our Iron Cast City proposed to learn from the development ideas of Jiyun City and recreate the scenery of the past.

This is an opportunity for our Tiangang City to rise again. And you are the boy who rekindled our fighting spirit. In fact, I have collected a lot of stories and information about you. And there are at least seven or eight people here in Tiangang City.

A team of one hundred people went to Jiyun City to study. You are an absolutely admirable young man, and it is my honor to meet you here unexpectedly."

Councilor Zeng spoke highly of Ding Yi. Ding Yi was even a little embarrassed by the praise.

Zeng Yi called over a disciple from Iron Cast City and said something in his ear. After the disciple left, Zeng Yi did not take Vice Principal Yang and Ding Yi to the Shenpuppet Hall where the evaluation was conducted. Instead, he took them

I took him to a small courtyard behind the Shenpuppet Hall.

"Vice Principal Yang, little friend Ding Yi, this is the Shenji Academy where Bu Ban, the leading puppet master in Iron Cast City, lives. Little friend Ding Yi's evaluation will be personally tested by the Bu Ban master." Zeng Yi said to the two guests.

Introduction, knocking on the iron ring on the door.

This is definitely the most magical courtyard that Ding Yi has ever seen. In fact, Ding Yi followed Councilor Zeng Yi all the way here and already discovered that this courtyard is unique. In addition to the eye-catching swords, axes, hooks and forks on the low wall of the courtyard

Such as sharp weapons, this wall that is more than ten meters long is entirely made of steel. The dark wall, probably due to bluing during the refining process, has a faint purple-blue color.

Not afraid of corrosion by water vapor in the air, the unique dark purple pattern looks gorgeous and mysterious.

The courtyard gate was also made of black iron. The local blood-patterned steel was made with some raw materials that Ding Yi didn't know about, forming a strange pattern that was mysterious and thick.

The courtyard door was opened, and a cold-faced woman in palace clothes opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" the woman in palace clothes asked coldly.

Although this woman had a lifelike face, spoke and moved naturally and gracefully, Ding Yi could still tell at a glance that she was just a high-level puppet.

Ding Yi made this judgment, in addition to the fact that the step master they were visiting was a puppet master, it also made people pay great attention to all the objects in the courtyard. This beautiful woman in palace clothes made people

There is a cold and lifeless feeling, which makes it easy to think that this is not a real person.

However, the reason why Ding Yi concluded that this woman was a puppet was not based on the above two points, but because he saw the woman's eyes.

As a young puppet master, Ding Yi is quite familiar with puppet making and the raw materials for making puppets. He has spent a lot of thought on the transition from Feather Level to Spirit Level. This beautiful woman with three pupil visions

, if it is a living person, then it is really a ghost.

Moreover, the double pupils in the deepest part of this woman's eyes, that bit of blood red, were exactly the same as the security puppet 179 she met back then.

"Can you please open the door, miss? Zeng Yi has brought two guests from afar to visit Mr. Buban. I hope the miss will let you know." Zeng Yi said politely.

However, Ding Yi clearly saw a hint of constriction on Zeng Yi's face. Vice Principal Yang quickly prepared to step forward to speak, but was grabbed by Ding Yi.

"Principal, Councilman Zeng is joking with us. This 'girl' is a humanoid puppet."

Vice Principal Yang was shocked. He really didn't realize that the woman in front of him

It's a puppet.

"Haha..." A burst of cheerful laughter came from the yard.

"Ding Yi from Jiyun City is indeed a talented young man. You are the first to be able to see through the identity of 'Lian Ji' at a glance."

The courtyard door opened wide, and three people appeared behind Lianji.

Zeng Yi smiled and said: "Vice Principal Yang, little friend Ding Yi, it was just a little joke, don't mind, come, come, come, let me introduce you to our Shenpuppet Hall, which is also the most famous in our Iron Casting City.

Three of you."

The first person Zeng Yi introduced was the red-faced middle-aged man on the left. He was a red-faced strong man dressed in green cloth. There was not a trace of wrinkles on his face. In fact, he was the oldest weapon refining master in Tiangang City.

Hai Bingwei. The one in the middle with white hair and a bit thin, wearing a white shirt is the master of the courtyard. The elder with gray hair and wearing a black shirt on the right is Tian Xingkong, the master of mechanism.

Behind these three people, there were several other disciples dressed in the uniforms of Iron Cast City disciples. However, these disciples were all watching from a distance and did not follow these three masters.

"Yang Qi of Xuanzang College and his student Ding Yi have met several great masters." Vice Principal Yang and Ding Yi quickly saluted these great masters.

"The rumored magical boy. I always thought it was just a legend. Unexpectedly, when I saw him face to face, he was really extraordinary. He was indeed a gifted talent from heaven. Haha..." Hai Bingwei laughed.

Vice Principal Yang responded quickly: "Grand masters, please stop praising this kid. It is his good fortune to be able to fall under the eyes of several great masters. He is just a naughty little guy. How can he be praised by such great masters?"

"

Yang Qi said this, but she still felt very proud in her heart. After all, Ding Yi was a student of their Xuanzang Academy, and it was an honor for him to be praised by several great masters in Tiangang City.

Tian Xingkong said continuously: "It's a pity, it's a pity." This caused everyone to be confused. They didn't know why this machine master was doing well, so he sighed like this.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Tian Xingkong said: "Such a good talent and good quality, but he is not a student of my Tiangang City. I heard that Xiao Ding Yi's studies are all based on self-study. I don't know if that is true or not?" Only then did everyone know the truth.

This person is sparing his talents, but he doesn't mean anything malicious.

Ding Yi hurriedly said: "Actually, that's not entirely the case. When I learned puppetry, I was enlightened by the spiritual level puppet master of Jiyun City, Big Brother Duo. Later, I received the guidance of Master Han Tao from Chixi. It was not entirely self-taught.

.”

Bu Ban then said: "We have learned about your situation specifically. Don't talk about your big brother, a dwarf who hasn't read a few books and can't recognize a few formations. You are just a mortal. Even Han

Tao Na has only scratched the surface of puppetry, what does he know about puppetry?"

Bu Ban continued: "I have seen the car puppet you made. The layout is ingenious, the structure is reasonable, the materials are exquisite and the details are perfect. This is your talent. Han Tao's three-legged cat skills cannot teach you.

These."

This is undoubtedly a very high praise. However, Ding Yi still feels a little unhappy about Master Buban’s comments on Duoduo and Han Tao. Because these two people are respected by him and have given him a lot of help.

.

Bu Ban invited them into the courtyard. Ding Yi was once again surprised by this small and eclectic courtyard, Shenji Yuan, because this courtyard turned out to be integrated into one, including the gate, the wall, the ground of the courtyard, and several houses in the courtyard.

All are cast from black iron.

Through the geometric patterns laid on the iron plates on the courtyard floor, the strange layout of the houses, and the furnishings in the courtyard, Ding Yi suddenly discovered that the Shenjiyuan behind the Shenpuppet Hall was simply a huge super structure.

Steel Golem.
