The next day.

　　Ning Zhou arrived at the Frisbee Workshop to formally visit Chen Cha, the workshop's master.

　　Ning Zhou made his intentions known and was smoothly introduced to Chen Cha's study by the doorman.

　　Chen Cha was an old man, dressed in a black robe, with a bitter expression on his face, a white beard, and deep-set eye sockets.

　　He looked Ning Zhou up and down, and saw that Ning Zhou was dressed in a white robe, pulped and dry. A pair of eyes were calm and deep, like deep pools of water. The key was the jade pendant at his waist, engraved with the word Ning.

　　"Ning family?" Chen Cha's heart stirred.

　　There were four major forces in Fire Persimmon Immortal City, the first being the City Lord's Mansion, with the current City Lord being a YuanYing stage cultivator. Secondly, there was the Formation Zhou Family, the Weaponry Zheng Family, and the Talisman Ning Family.

　　"Latecomer pays his respects to Master Chen Cha of the Living Formation." Ning Zhou saluted.

　　The old man let out a bitter smile, "The title of Grandmaster, old me is definitely not qualified. As for the title Living Formation Zi, it is mostly an elevation by others. If the Junior Lang is interested, he can just call me Elder Chen."

　　Ning Zhou said again, "My surname is Ning Zhou. I've heard from others that Elder Chen can impart knowledge of formations. So this time, I have brought along relevant questions and would like to ask you for advice."

　　Chen Cha said, "I do do this business and offer specific prices according to specific questions. Little Brother Ning Zhou, if you have any questions, ask them first before I can make a price."

　　His hands were tight, and as a workshop master, he also had to personally make puppets to use to pay off his debts. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't do this kind of consulting business, there was really no other way, he had to get money from all sides.

　　Signing the deed, Chen Cha then invited Ning Zhou to take his seat. The deed bound both parties to keep the questions and answers strictly confidential.

　　Ning Zhou then obediently changed his mind and said, "Senior, my question is related to puppet building."

　　"Every year at the Fire Persimmon Festival, there are casualties, so I wanted to design an puppet artifact to pick fire persimmons."

　　"I've named it the Firecracker Monkey, and it's already been designed, with only one final hurdle to overcome."

　　"Its muscles are not resistant to high temperatures. Once the fire persimmon triggers an explosion in the process of picking it, the Fiery Monkey will be severely damaged."

　　"To solve this dilemma, my senior believes that when designing a moving formation to stabilize the muscular form."

　　"Thus, I ask you, senior, for a bit of advice."

　　Chen Cha stroked his beard, "Well ...... did the puppet monkey bring it? And bring it to me to see."

　　He was quite unimpressed in his heart.

　　As the puppet workshop master, he had also been asked to teach about puppet puppets from time to time.

　　He had seen this kind of situation many times and thus had quite a bit of experience.

　　The cultivator in front of him was young and independently designing puppet creations, so I'm afraid that this so-called puppet monkey was unbearable.

　　"Young people, they are shallow and don't know the heights of heaven. They also tend to have arrogance, and without being subjected to trials and beatings, they can't recognize themselves and reality."

　　"This young man from the Ning family is from a big family, so I'm afraid his arrogance is even greater."

　　"Be careful with the wording later, don't have a critical tone, after all, it's money spent on advice, there might be follow-up business."

　　Chen Cha secretly admonished himself.

　　After Ning Zhou's pre-introduction, he directly took out the puppet monkey from his storage bag.

　　Bang.

　　The puppet Monkey was quite heavy and made a dull sound when it was placed on the table.

　　Chen Cha's pupils dilated slightly!

　　At the first moment the puppets Monkey was unveiled, his heart raced. With his years of experience, he immediately judged that this puppet in front of him was not simple.

　　"Place it gently." Chen Cha's tone was not without some reproach. He was fond of puppet techniques and cherished puppet creations, and felt that Ning Zhou's movements in placing the puppet monkey were a bit rough.

　　Ning Zhou thought that Chen Cha was worried about his own table, and smiled in embarrassment.

　　At this moment, Chen Cha's gaze was firmly fixed on the puppet Fiery Monkey's body, and his soul seemed to have been hooked away.

　　Chen Cha was a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, and immediately released his divine sense to probe.

　　Soon, his eyebrows rose high and his expression became quite wonderful.

　　Chen Cha's hand caressed the Fire Flame Monkey's bright red and smooth fur, and he couldn't help but marvel on the spot, "This monkey skin is made from the fur of the Fire Velvet Mouse. The craftsmanship is very good, the sewing is tight and seamless, just like one. The inner lining of the fur depicts talismans in many places, adding to the toughness of the fur.

The fur lining depicts many talismans, adding to the toughness of the fur. The production is neat and the layout is rigorous, comparable to an old tailor of many years."

　　Hearing this, Ning拙 was slightly stunned and hurriedly said modestly, "Where, where. Senior is too kind."

　　Unimpressed, he continued, "This stitching is nothing more than the basics, it was made by me in the most traditional way, not innovative at all, nothing to boast about."

　　Chen Cha's divine sense scanned the puppet monkey's skeleton, "The skeleton is made of heavenly gold. Celestial gold is both lightweight and tough, and has some spatial effectiveness. As expected, the skeleton is designed with storage spell formations, which gives full play to the material use of heavenly gold."

　　"Good. This formation is also laid out very appropriately. It can be seen that the maker was very careful and prudent when laying the formation, trying to compress the space of the formation as much as possible. To be able to compress the formation to such an extent, the powerful ability to lay formations is plain to see. At the same time, the maker was designing the mechanism

At the early stages of creation, they try their best to do the best they can, reserving space for future puppet designs, this is foresight and a big picture view."

　　Ning Zhou blinked and responded, "Senior, you are truly overpraising. These are just some basic skills. Regarding the selection of Heavenly Gold, I'm following the basics. As for the storage formation, I did adjust it slightly. This kind of adjustment is all based on the foundations of my predecessors, and there is

nothing worth bringing up."

　　Chen Cha, however, did not look at him, his mind and body immersed in the puppet monkey in front of him.

　　He continued to comment, "This muscle, is it the oily sooty clay that was used to further pile up the fire resistance? No, plausibly ...... it should be a new material made from oil and soot mud as the main material, refined with the Dan method. This muscle shaping is really well done. Beautiful, really beautiful!"

　　"This material molding skill alone, the maker is good enough to serve as the second hammer of a refining workshop. Even, for the creation of some compact magic weapons, it's not impossible to take on the role of the main hammer."

　　"And the skill of refining new materials with mainly oleo-smoke clay is also very good. As far as I know, this dang is original! It's a new material that the maker explored independently, very, very good. With such skills and attainments in the Dan Dao, one might be able to become a great alchemist in the future."

　　Ning Zhou was even a little embarrassed by the compliment and hurriedly said, "Senior Chen, you are truly flattering."

　　"These attempts of the late generation are all very elementary, and these innovations don't have any rules and regulations. It is merely a bit of aura by chance, and there are still many flaws and shortcomings."

　　"This time, I'm asking for your advice senior, it's that this muscle material is unstable and difficult to resist high temperatures yet. With such drawbacks, it would never be worthy of such praise from senior."

　　Chen Cha finally looked up at Ning Zhou this time, his heart somewhat strange: the young man in front of him had built this kind of puppet, but he was so modest?

　　He continued to check.

　　This time, Chen Cha carefully spread out the monkey's palm, and immediately his eyes glistened, amazed by the intricate array design in his palm.

　　"Wonderful, it can be called subtle!"

　　"These several miniature formations are nested within each other, causing the monkey's palm to move sensitively and vividly, capable of making quite complex finger movements."

　　"The key is that this combination of formations is quite novel, not a common combination, revealing the maker's talent for laying formations, as well as his talent for designing them."

　　Ning Zhou coughed twice, feeling his smile stiffen a bit, "Senior's fallacy, fallacy."

　　"These designs really aren't anything special, they are merely a slight integration of some existing knowledge."

　　"The designs of these formations are just some small experiments that I am still exploring. Far from being anything innovative or talented, there are still many shortcomings and areas that need improvement."

　　Chen Cha raised his eyes once again and glanced at Ning Zhou, muttering in his heart, "This teenager is a bit too modest, isn't he? Perhaps, this is the family style of the Ning family's great clan? The so-called style of everyone?"

　　Suddenly, Chen Cha's eyes widened, revealing a hint of shock.

　　He explored the puppet Monkey's brain and realized that the spells arranged in the brain were actually three Walking Bullet Pellets!

　　"The walking projectiles were originally an attacking magic weapon that could be remotely controlled and change the direction of flight. But now it has been transformed and is flying around each other in the monkey's brain shell, acting as a receiver for divine sense. This is the first time I've seen this, unheard of!"

　　"Oh, there are also the many talismans engraved within the monkey's brain for coordination."

　　"This is another original creation."

　　Chen Cha made a slight projection and knew that this arrangement could succeed.

　　"Ingenious, truly ingenious!" His eyes glowed in admiration.

　　Ning Zhou was sixteen years old and had been hiding his clumsiness, how had he ever experienced being praised in front of his face like this. He was actually a little tingling in his scalp at the praise, "Senior's praise is truly flattering, too flattering for the latecomer."

　　"For this kind of arrangement, senior is only experimenting and trying it out, how practical and stable it truly is cannot be guaranteed yet."

　　"As a matter of fact, transforming the walking projectile into a Divine Sense Receiver, I also did so out of necessity. It's because this puppet Fiery Monkey is going to make money when it's sold. If I were to configure it with an array disk, the cost would be much higher. That's why this design scheme was adopted."

　　"I always feel that this isn't the best solution, and there are still unexplored hidden dangers, as well as unstable factors with this design."

　　Chen Cha finally scrutinized the puppet monkey for a whole time, and as he raised his eyes to look at Ning Zhou, he could not help but frown slightly, full of skepticism towards the teenager in front of him, "Such an excellent work of puppetism, was it really made by this teenager in front of me?"

　　Ning Zhou's self-effacement intensified Chen Cha's skepticism. This was because in Chen Cha's opinion, the puppet Monkey was a very excellent puppet work. If he was the maker, he should hold his head high and proudly proclaim it around - it was a reflection of his own abilities, not something that ordinary people could make!

　　But Ning Zhou's self-effacement, in Chen Cha's opinion, was really a bit excessive.

　　It was as if it was a bottomless heart that ventured to recognize another's work.
