Xingliu couldn't control the situation, and in the end, Mingxi stepped forward to calm everyone down.

As soon as Mingxi spoke, everyone indeed dispersed, those who were supposed to compete competed, and those who were supposed to watch watched.

This inexplicably started 'fan meeting' finally ended.

Naturally, Red Jade was the one competing for Mingxi.

However, she also walked up to assist Red Jade.

Mingxi inserted the credential into the slot, and the Tool Space opened. As expected, it was filled with various materials for making tools, mainly ores and metals produced in Baidai Forest and Tianguan Mountain.

"Red Jade, just do your thing."

"Rupture Sky."

Red Jade understood, took a deep breath, and her eyes became focused.

It didn't immediately light the furnace or cut materials like other Tool Masters, but quietly squatted down and began to inspect the materials in the auxiliary space of the workbench.

Not being able to use their own materials was quite a limitation.

Because it had a large family business and almost all the materials it wanted, it used to make tools quite casually. This was almost its first time doing a 'prompted essay,' and it was done under the watchful eyes of the public.

So it had to look carefully and couldn't mess around.

Anyway, six hours of production time was more than enough.

Half an hour later, it already had a rough idea. After discussing with Mingxi for ten minutes, it finally decided on the tool it would make.

The tool making officially began.

"Why is Red Jade only starting now? Others are almost done with their first tool embryo."

"Maybe Pet Beast tool making is a bit slow?"

"Red Jade isn't the only Pet Beast on stage. Looking at it, it seems to be observing the materials."

Due to Gear Town, the Pet Beasts contracted by Beastmasters here are mostly Steel-type, and Steel-type is one of the most suitable Transcendent creatures to become Tool Masters.

They have a bonus in smelting metals.

Therefore, there are many Pet Beasts among the Tool Masters participating in the tool making competition.

"Observing for so long? It must not have decided what tool to make."

"Anyway, we're rooting for our Red Jade!"

"That's right, Red Jade baby is the best!"

While Red Jade was busily forging iron, smelting metals and minerals, Mingxi, as an assistant, actually had little to do for a short time. So, being idle, she began to observe the other contestants.

Shi Lei and his wife were pretty good.

Shi Lei was a strong man with outstanding strength. He could crush raw ore with his bare fists, even more powerfully than a hammer. With his natural divine strength, he was indeed cut out to be a Tool Master.

Moreover, he was a bold yet meticulous man, with a fine attention to detail hidden beneath a rough exterior.

Besides his natural divine strength, he was also extremely skilled in design, with strong creativity in tool design.

Lan Qin, on the other hand, was delicate and skillful, excelling in precise operations.

Both husband and wife were excellent. It was said that working together, they could already produce SSS-level tools.

Mingxi then looked at the pink female artisan, Rosalind Kruger, who, with her Gravity Monkey King, was simply a blacksmith incarnate.

And the middle-aged man beside her, he gave her a feeling of relaxation.

His assistant was a Venerable-level Transcendent creature, a Magic Wall Puppet.

His movements seemed clumsy, slow, and casual, but each strike, each injection of energy, landed precisely on specific points of the material.

It was as if making a tool was such a simple matter; that sense of effortless ease was something even Red Jade didn't possess.

This person was indeed extraordinary.

"Rupture Sky."

Work came, and Mingxi stopped daydreaming, focusing wholeheartedly on helping Red Jade.

At this moment, a piece of Ximing iron weighing a hundred catties was placed on the workbench by Red Jade.

Red Jade's right claw gently pressed on it. The next moment, a subtle change occurred.

Centered on its claws, the Ximing iron vibrated gently, flowing from inside out like water.

Before long, the cold, hard Ximing iron turned into two puddles of jelly-like condensate. The larger portion was a beautiful light purple, transparent and flawless.

The smaller portion, however, was mottled in color, appearing like impurities.

"Look, such exquisite metal refining!"

In tool making, refining is the most basic step, and refining is divided into two categories: metal refining and silver refining.

Metal refining, as the name suggests, is the refining of metal, primarily to remove impurities from metal materials and retain the purest energy of the metal materials.

Silver refining, on the other hand, is derived from metal refining, meaning the refining of materials other than metal materials, with the same purpose as metal refining.

However, due to different refining methods, these two are distinguished.

There are many methods of metal refining, the most common of which is the hammering method, also known as blacksmithing. This is the metal refining method chosen by most human Tool Masters, with a low threshold but a very high ceiling.

Red Jade, however, used the energy refining method, which is common among Transcendent creatures, especially Steel-type, which is roughly achieved by creating resonance between its own energy and the material.

After all, it's metal; those who know, know.

Of course, metal refining also heavily depends on talent.

The same goes for silver refining.

At the same time, they are also crucial.

It's no exaggeration to say that the quality of the refining step determines the quality of the final finished tool.

"The purity of this metal refining must be above 90%?".

"I think it's more than that. I've never seen Ximing iron refined to such transparent clarity. It's as still as glazed glass, as pure as heart jade, absolutely beautiful!"

"Definitely above 95%!"

"Not only the purity, but even the energy preservation is near perfect. As expected of Mingxi's Pet Beast, it's truly formidable."

"And the speed is so fast! Refining such a large piece of Ximing iron only took less than three minutes. It's miraculous!"

After discovering that Red Jade was a tool master, it, which was already the center of attention, became even more so.

Almost everyone watching from the periphery focused their attention on it.

Red Jade paid no mind; at this moment, it was completely engrossed.

Refining metal, refining silver, drawing, fusing—its claws were like the most dexterous shuttles, melting the materials together in the simplest and most effective way.

Gradually, between Red Jade's claws, the first tool embryo formed.

And this embryo was clearly different from the embryos made by other Tool Masters, because it not only had a physical form but also a phantom.

A highly complex light and shadow, composed of pure energy, pulsed like a beating heart around it.

"My goodness! This is a Life Embryo!"

Seeing this scene, the onlookers erupted again.

A Life Embryo is when an embryo possesses a heartbeat similar to a living body and forms a light and shadow.

Therefore, this light and shadow pulsation of a Life Embryo is also called the embryo's heart resonance.

This is the highest realm a Tool Master can achieve in making an embryo!

There's a saying in the Tool Master world: Not every SSS-level Tool Master °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° can create a Life Embryo, but anyone who can create a Life Embryo is definitely an SSS-level Tool Master.

Creating a Life Embryo is the credential for an SSS-level Tool Master to reach the pinnacle.

So..."Is this Lie Kong Valkyrie an SSS-level Tool Master?!"

"Isn't it obvious? That's really awesome!"

"What kind of cosmic-level favor did Mingxi receive? Not only did she become an SSS-level Beast Master at such a young age, but among her contracted Pet Beasts, there's actually an SSS-level Tool Master?!"

"More than that, I heard that Divine Ming's Brocade Life Asura, Emerald Green, is an SSS-Level Pharmacist."

"How is that possible?! Where did you hear such rumors?"

"Why isn't it possible? My grand-cousin's grand-uncle's third uncle's fourth aunt's husband works for the Shen Family. A young master from the Shen Family was afflicted with a cursed poison, and even a Venerable-level Angel System Pet Beast couldn't cure it. No potion had any effect on him.

That young master was seemingly just waiting to die, but do you know what happened later?"

"Since you put it that way, it must have been our Emerald Green who took action!"

"Clap!"

The Beastmaster, who was building suspense, snapped his fingers. "That's right! It was Divine Ming, who was studying abroad on Green Field Star at the time, who sent a batch of detoxifying potions, all SSS-level! Not only did they suppress the cursed poison on that Young Master Shen, but they also allowed him to participate in Beastmaster battles as if nothing had happened!"

His gaze swept over everyone looking at him, and with his neck craned and a proud expression, he continued: "Do you know who this Young Master Shen is?"

Sure enough, some people had their appetites whetted by him.

Many people cooperatively asked, "Who?"

"It's none other than Young Master Shen Linhua, the team manager who accompanied Divine Ming to the Starsea Cup!"

As Mingxi's agent, Shen Linhua had handled all her engagements, business, and diplomatic affairs during the Starsea Cup, and therefore had been interviewed by many media outlets.

Anyone who followed Mingxi knew Shen Linhua to some extent.

"The incident of Young Master Shen being accidentally afflicted with cursed poison isn't a secret; you can check and see that I'm not lying. Not only that, Divine Ming has also auctioned off many potions, including SSS-level potions, so it's certain that she has an SSS-Level Pharmacist by her side."

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

What that person said earlier was right.

Mingxi truly enjoyed cosmic-level favor!

"Look, the second embryo is about to form!"

"So fast!"

"Holy crap, another Life Embryo?!"

"Is a Life Embryo really that easy to make?"

"Heh heh, you can try it."

"Do you think all the embryos it makes will be Life Embryos?"

As soon as this person raised the question, countless people around him couldn't help but shiver.

"This... no way, right? One hundred percent Life Embryos, that's no longer a matter of skill, but of metaphysics."

Everyone's gaze grew even more fervent, almost never leaving Red Jade.

Time passed by quickly in such an atmosphere. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Red Jade's creation attracted more and more attention.

Some weaker Tool Masters, after trying their own ideas and realizing they couldn't complete an excellent finished tool in a short time, simply gave up making and instead focused intently on observing Red Jade's operations, their eyes filled with awe and fascination.

Even the eccentric pink female artisan, Rosalind, temporarily stopped her clanging, pink-glowing forging and, with folded arms, watched Red Jade with a serious expression. Her Gravity Monkey King also scratched its head, showing an interested look in its eyes.

The more these people watched, the more astonished they became, and the more captivated they were.

Red Jade's crafting process was like a delicate pantomime.

Its claws were like a conductor's baton, guiding invisible threads of energy, weaving, intertwining, knotting, solidifying.

At times, it would condense a small wisp of energy to anchor an energy node;

At other times, it would dip its fingertips into a bit of the condensed liquid essence on the workbench to stabilize the energy structure.

Every step of its tool making process was extremely refined, with almost no superfluous movements.

One Life Embryo after another formed under its claws; they were independent yet seemed to resonate with each other.

If they were at home or in the Time Realm, these embryos would first be Drawing Spirit by Mingxi, allowing them to possess power close to or even surpassing rules. However, Drawing Spirit is now considered a sub-profession.

Mingxi and Red Jade both disdained cheating.

Naturally, they wouldn't do anything extra.

"...Oh my goodness, truly 100% Life Embryos? How is this even possible?"

Someone analyzed: "It should be because the purity and energy preservation of all the materials it refined were close to perfection, and the material fusion and energy stabilization processes were also nearly flawless, which allowed it to achieve 100% Life Embryo creation."

"Amazing!"

"Is this the advantage of Transcendent creatures?"

"Many Steel-type Transcendent creatures are indeed natural Tool Masters, superior to us humans in terms of talent. The only thing they might lack compared to human Tool Masters is imagination and innovation, but that's not absolute; there are also many Pet Beasts with abnormally developed brain regions in this world."

As everyone marveled at Red Jade's crafting techniques, Mingxi's hand, which was passing materials, paused almost imperceptibly, and her gaze suddenly turned extremely cold.

No one, and no Pet Beast, noticed.

Except for Golden Ingot Eight.

The eyes of Golden Ingot Eight were equally chilling.

Time passed quickly in such an atmosphere. Many Tool Masters had already successfully created finished tools, and at this point, everyone's attention slowly shifted back to the other Tool Masters.

"With its inner brilliance and stable energy, Lali actually created an S-Rank Tool? When did he become an S-Rank Tool Refiner??"

"The Shi Lei couple are also good; both husband and wife have also created S-Rank Tools, and the tools of these two are similar in appearance, clearly a pair. If used in actual combat, the effect would be even better."

"Being able to create S-Rank Tools under material constraints shows great strength."

"Look quickly, the pink female artisan has also succeeded."

On Rosalind's workbench lay a tool that looked somewhat like a desktop electric fan. The outer casing and base were white squares, while the 'blades' were as sharp as razor blades, all pink.

Visually, it was impossible to tell what type of tool it was.

One could only barely make out its rank: SS-Rank!

"Rosalind, the pink female artisan, is only 58 this year, yet she's already an SSS-level Tool Master? Have geniuses truly become as common as dogs these days? Then why can't there be one more of me?"

"Besides talent, she also has family background. How can we, who can only rely on ourselves, compare to her?"

Rosalind seemed to completely ignore the sour remarks around her. After completing her creation, she solemnly bowed in the direction of Red Jade and Mingxi.

Before today, she could at most only produce SS-Rank Tools, and even then, she relied on a large amount of rare and precious materials.

That's right, the tool on the workbench was actually the first SSS-level tool in her life.
