Chen Ping held the rare metal between his palms. His trick of crafting a Soul Tool without moving a muscle might have looked inconceivable, but it was actually just the result of his Spiritual Power and Soul Power working together.
Using this showy technique to make a Level 3 Storage Soul Tool was not difficult, but applying it to higher-grade rare metals would be hard.
After all, put plainly, he was simply sending his Soul Power out of his body under the control of his Spiritual Power, pressing against key points of the silver ingot in his hands to carve out its shape and a few of the most basic, crudest Core Arrays. The precision required was not particularly high.
Once he had truly finished carving, all Chen Ping needed to do was keep his Soul Power attached to the piece of mithril until the old man came over to inspect it. Only then did he withdraw his Soul Power, producing the strange spectacle of an entire Chicken Card Storage Soul Tool appearing out of thin air as the metal shavings fell away.
If Chen Ping really went to such lengths when making Level 5 or Level 6 Soul Tools, he would only be making trouble for himself. Still, there was no denying that his casual little display had clearly stunned the other Soul Engineers present, who had barely begun crafting their own Soul Tools.
The yellow-robed old man respectfully handed the little chicken figurine back to Chen Ping. "Of course, of course. This token of yours has more than half a cubic meter of storage space. It certainly ranks among the very best Level 3 Storage Soul Tools.
"All Soul Tools made during this competition belong to the Soul Engineers who make them. We also offer a purchasing service."
