Jiang Yuebai followed everyone and came to the central square of Zhuge’s inner city.
When she passed by here just now, she saw that the huge mechanical pillar in the center of the square was more magnificent and majestic than the surrounding ones. It was more like an octagonal tower or a capstan than a pillar.
There are nine floors in total, stacked on top of each other, and each floor is rotating. There are also eight chains connected around each floor, leading to different mechanism pillars. Rotating and dragging the chains can make the large-scale mechanisms in the entire city operate.
Zhuge Shou personally walked to the bottom of the mechanism tower and pressed his left armored arm on the tower door mechanism. After a series of mechanism sounds, the gears on the tower door turned and gradually opened, revealing darkness inside.
Zhuge Shou withdrew his hand and stepped aside, motioning the three to go in by themselves.
Fan Mingshan was familiar with the route. He glanced at Zhuge Ziying, then was the first to walk in and disappear.
Zhuge Zi nodded to Zhuge Shou and followed closely.
It was Jiang Yuebai's turn. Just as she was about to go in, Mo Baichun suddenly stopped her and said, "Don't get involved in their fight. Just find a way to pass the test. Be careful."
Jiang Yuebai nodded. She didn’t even know any rules and regulations now. In short, I won’t offend anyone unless they offend me. If anyone offends me, they must die!
Jiang Yuebai walked quickly into the tower, and the door closed immediately. Mo Baichun looked nervous.
Zhuge Zigan consoled her, "Senior Sister Wuchen, don't worry. Fellow Daoist Wangshu has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul before the age of 100, which is rare in the entire upper realm. With her ability, she will definitely pass this assessment smoothly."
Mo Baichun sighed. In today's assessment, the head of the family's mind was on Zhuge Ziying and Fan Mingshan. She was afraid that Jiang Yuebai would suffer a loss.
The Trial Tower was opened, and the disciples in the square gathered around and watched from afar, watching the light flickering on the mechanism tower, projected onto the blue bricks of the square, and transformed into a miniature three-dimensional image of the interior.
A desolate mountain valley, deep in the night.
The three of them stood together, surrounded by all kinds of damaged Yan armor, some of which looked relatively intact, while others were broken into pieces and piled up in disarray all over the valley.
The three of them were facing the same direction, with the mountains as a screen and three gorges leading to the outside world. The cold wind was howling, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling could be heard continuously, making people feel very dangerous.
When Mo Baichun saw this situation, his heart skipped a beat. Jiang Yuebai was off to a bad start.
Zhuge Shou stood outside the tower and announced the rules, and the three people inside the tower could also hear it.
"In a quarter of an hour, demons will attack from all three roads ahead of you. Your mission is to defend the valley and prevent the demons from invading. I believe you have already discovered that your spiritual energy has been sealed, and you only have your spiritual consciousness to use. To resist the demons, you can only rely on the Yanjia around you. Other than that, you are not allowed to leave the valley."
Jiang Yuebai looked at the three-meter-wide gorge in front of him and sensed that his dantian was indeed sealed. Only his consciousness was normal, and his body could not move at this moment.
I don’t know if this is an illusion or a magical cave, everything feels very real.
She looked at the broken Yanjia around her again, which meant that she needed to repair the Yanjia first, and then control the Yanjia to deal with the demons. This was the only thing she could rely on, and it was also the fighting style of the Yanjia Master.
Zhuge Shou's voice came again.
"Fellow Daoist Wangshu, you only need to guard the road in front of you for an hour. Elder Fan and Ziying, the two of you need to control Yanjia to fight your way out. There is a flag deep in the jungle outside. Whoever gets the flag first wins. If you have any objections, you can raise them now. Once the assessment begins, you cannot stop midway unless you voluntarily give up."
Fan Mingshan looked at Zhuge Ziying, but Zhuge Ziying still had a sullen face and ignored Fan Mingshan completely.
Jiang Yuebai, who was completely ignored, thought about it and suddenly said, "Master Zhuge, in addition to the Yanjia Master's method, can I try the Yin-Yang Master's method?"
As soon as he finished speaking, not only Fan Mingshan, but even the statue-like Zhuge Ziying turned his head to look at Jiang Yuebai, frowning slightly, a little surprised.
Zhuge Shou outside was also stunned and looked at Mo Baichun inquiringly.
Mo Baichun felt guilty but his expression was not. Although he didn't know what Jiang Yuebai was up to, and how a half-baked puppeteer would dare to say such a thing, he still said in a deep voice, "My junior sister has learned the silk control technique, and her spiritual power is not bad. She has always been very interested in the Yin-Yang School."
However, for cultivators with strong spiritual awareness, they can use the silk control technique to forcibly invade the body of a monster with a lower cultivation level than themselves, achieving a control method similar to that of the Yin-Yang School.
Zhuge Shou understood, "Whatever you want."
A smile appeared in Jiang Yuebai's eyes, and Fan Mingshan beside her just smiled and didn't pay much attention to her.
Instead, Zhuge Ziying narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Yuebai, not knowing what he was thinking. Jiang Yuebai glared back at him without any hesitation.
Zhuge Ziying's look was clearly questioning her, questioning whether she dared to play the Yin-Yang school in front of him.
The three of them had no more objections, and Zhuge Shou immediately announced the start, and the three of them were no longer immobilized.
Fan Mingshan was extremely fast and immediately swept all the relatively intact large-scale Yanjia around him behind him. Zhuge Ziying was also trying to grab them, and the two men's spiritual consciousness collided.
As an expert on Yin-Yang, Zhuge Ziying's spiritual awareness was obviously stronger, and he immediately shocked Fan Mingshan so much that he staggered back, and he successfully snatched those planes away.
"Ziying is really good at this!"
Although Fan Mingshan had some anger on his face, Jiang Yuebai keenly noticed that there was a smirk in Fan Mingshan's eyes.
Is this guy setting a trap for Zhuge Ziying
The two of them were fighting fiercely, but Jiang Yuebai didn't know where to start.
A relatively complete Yan armor can certainly be repaired quickly and can be used immediately after repair, but after reading the books Mo Baichun gave her, she discovered that the Zhuge family's armor-making method was completely different from what she had learned in the Earth Spirit World.
The Earth Spirit Realm is still using the Divine Stone as the core to transmit power to the entire body of the puppet. When the power of the Divine Stone is exhausted, it must be replaced.
Although high-quality spirit stones can be used as magic stones, their defects are still obvious: limited capacity, slow conduction speed, and not flexible enough to control puppets.
The Zhuge family had long since abandoned this ancient method and directly used more sophisticated gears and linkage devices to absorb spiritual energy through the talisman array to drive the core mechanism, using the small to lead the big, and thus make the entire Yanjia move.
It saves time and effort, and the talisman array can also continuously replenish consumption, making the Yanjia's combat endurance stronger.
This was similar to the spirit gathering array she had researched for farming puppets in Huaxi Valley, which showed that the direction of her research at the time was correct.
During these three days, she spent one day reading all the books, and spent the remaining two days in the Lotus Cave using the materials at hand to make basic parts.
Forget what you learned before and use the Zhuge family's techniques to piece together various small mechanisms.
Because of time constraints, she only tried more than 10,000 times. She is now quite skilled in putting together small items, but her experience from those hundreds of times is not enough to put together a complete Yanjia.
If she were to take a relatively complete Yanjia directly, she would have to first familiarize herself with the original assembly structure, then find the problem, and then repair it. This would be too troublesome for her, and she might not be able to repair it accurately.
Therefore, the scattered small parts on the ground are more suitable for her, as she can start from scratch and assemble them as she likes.
Jiang Yuebai immediately spread out his spiritual sense, and amid the fierce competition between Fan Mingshan and Zhuge Ziying, he swept all the small parts that neither of them wanted behind himself, lifted up his clothes, sat down and began to assemble them.
The large Yanjia can certainly stand on its own, but her little ones can definitely win by numbers.
There is still one chapter left to go on about debts, and three chapters will be updated tomorrow!
